Chapter 389 [Philip Delly Luoxue]

After Philip returned to the castle of the Duke's mansion, he immediately asked for several tailors in the castle to be summoned, and privately confessed and ordered some things, and then sent them to the Chamber of Commerce where Princess Louise stayed.

Afterwards, Alpha also secretly led a group of people to watch secretly around the business association. Every hour, someone would be sent immediately to send the news back to the Duke's mansion.

What reassured Philip was that nothing seemed to happen all afternoon.

At such a time, what is Princess Louise doing in the Northwest? Although Philip was a little confused about this problem, in his opinion, it was not a big problem.

The key question is... Delly! This future princess, what is she doing here?

Philip is not a simple-minded person. Although he has received information that Miss Delly is a good friend of Princess Louise... But, don't forget that Delly is not only the future princess, but also recognized in the empire. , Duke Tulip's greatest political enemy, the younger sister of General Alpay, head of the Thor's Whip Corps.

As an excellent disciple of Mr. Lan Hai, Philip is not only proficient in political strategy, but also has a lot of research on the art of emperors.

From the time Alpay rose like a comet, Philip had accurately judged the intention of the regent.

Balance, the biggest key to the art of the emperor, is always - balance!

Start at that time. After careful analysis, Philip immediately put forward his own suggestion to Du Wei: Du Wei's military newspaper accusing Alpay of taking credit was written by Philip himself...

…………

That night, Philip, a young staff member, said something very visionary to Du Wei.

"Master Duke, from the current point of view, your strength has reached a bottleneck! In terms of title, you are already a duke! Under the law that no one can be crowned king except for the immediate royal family, your title has reached its peak! From the official position You have the rank of general, and you are also a member of the Society of Magicians, the sub-president of the Magic Academy, and the chief of the Northwest Theater... Judging from such an official position, you can be said to be an extremely human minister! At the same time, within the empire, you have hundreds of thousands of soldiers , the important thing is that you also have the superiority of air weapons that can be said to surpass this era! Externally, the Luo Lin family will be your strong support! Just imagine, if you were the emperor, you would be willing to see your subordinates Is there such a "strong minister"? And it is a unique "strong minister"! Before Prince Chen came to power, he erected you as a "newcomer king" to show his ambition and ambition as a new generation of monarch. The intention of pioneering and innovating is also to suppress those old ministers. However, now that his position has stabilized and everything in the empire is under his control, if you are too strong, the emperor will feel unstable. In any case, in the past two years or so, we have shown our strengths in the Northwest... Although I have already suggested to you, when the Northwest pacified and wiped out the Northwest Army this time, we should give up the military achievements of annihilating Guhuaduoluo to others... But it seems that the regent is still not at ease. Alpay, it is the king who has made a pawn to restrict us. And then, if there is no accident, the next ten years will be a newborn tulip The most critical period for the prosperity, decline or even extinction of the family!"

When talking about these places, Philip bowed deeply to Du Wei, and then the young man suddenly smiled in an unprecedented relaxed tone: "My lord, I have already pledged my allegiance to you, and I don't want my boss to be so quick. Down."

Philip then analyzed Du Wei's several dangerous fatal weaknesses:

"First. It's your status! Your current status is too high! High status. Although it is a good thing, it is an extremely dangerous double-edged sword for you! Because of your age!! Indeed, Now in the empire, purely in terms of status, there is still the old Prime Minister Robeschel who can compete with you in prestige. But don't forget, Mr. Robschel, this year is seventy, but you... are only eighteen You are less than 10 years old! According to the normal law, your political career still has at least fifty years. But your status has reached the peak of everything that a minister can have. I dare to ask you one thing: Your Excellency, Excuse me, if you make any contribution to the empire in the next few decades, what should the regent give you as a reward? Is it really cracking the earth to seal the king? Or...give up the position of emperor to you? These Absolutely impossible. The regent may appreciate you very much now, but he is a king after all, and he is also an ambitious king. .

The second weakness is your military power! Taking the private army of a nobleman as an example, our Tulip family now has an army of nearly 50,000, which is already the limit that a nobleman can achieve. Although there is no legal limit for the empire, even a blind person can see how powerful our army is now. I can directly say that if we count the new weapons and combat units we have, our 50,000 troops will have the power to fight even if they encounter the most powerful main battle army in the empire! As for the other local garrisons, there is no need to even mention them. I remember that you once said a sentence that I admired, which is called "Sleeping on the side, how can you allow others to sleep soundly!" ’, if it was Prince Chen, would he be so relieved that a nobleman under him had such a strong force?

The third weakness, your wealth! Even I have to say a word of admiration to you. Lord Duke, I am afraid that you are the person who is best at making money since the founding of the empire for thousands of years! And the speed at which you make money is almost a miracle! From the time you were fourteen to now, in just four years, you already have the strongest financial resources in the mainland! Regardless of the many industries you have created, so many miracles, and even the wealth we have swept from Southeast Asia, I am afraid that in the thousand years of the empire, no one can make money faster than you. But here is the problem... If you simply have soldiers, then the empire can also use financial money to restrain you. But you... have soldiers, money and food, and land... these three things are combined, which king can rest assured?

The fourth weakness, your opponent! This is what worries me the most! In the political arena, if you are not afraid of being strong, you are afraid that you have no opponent! Because once you have no opponent. It will arouse the scruples of the king. I have carefully studied the coup more than two years ago, and I have listened to my teacher, Mr. Lan Hai, analyze the struggle of the royal family. The current emperor is His Majesty Augustine VI. Back then, he once praised his eldest son, Prince Yawen. Unfortunately, the old emperor was not old yet, and the eldest prince grew up. Because he was afraid that the eldest prince would seize power in advance, the old emperor would praise his youngest son, Prince Chen. . In fact, the old emperor may not really like Prince Chen, but he just used him to balance the eldest prince.

May see you now. Within the empire, is there anything that can balance your political enemies?

This was originally what worried me the most. I even secretly worried that if there were no political opponents in the empire who could fight against you, then within three years, your strength might cause the regent to panic! It's panic, not just suspicion! My lord, if that time comes. The Regent will suppress you without hesitation, and even take some drastic measures!

Fortunately, the Prince Regent didn't want to touch your mind, but 'found' a political enemy for you. Such a move can be said to be very smart. Moreover, it is a kind of security for you! Because of this move, on the contrary, it shows that the regent wants to continue to reuse you, instead of killing the donkey in a short period of time when you run out. My suggestion to you is, no matter how our regent praises this newcomer, you must 'cooperate' well. What the regent means is that he wants us to fight, so we will show him. However, in the process of fighting the land. We want to take the initiative. Take control of the situation, then everything will be safe. "

This speech. There is no doubt that it can be said to be extremely brilliant political skills. These theoretical things can be said to be the outstanding achievements of the disciples of the blue ocean scholars. At the same time, the young Philip had finally grown into an outstanding and real staff member during his three years in the Northwest.

This strategic strategy is very appreciated by Du Wei. But the talent of this young man, Philip, doesn't stop there!

After setting up this big master plan for Du Wei, Philip did not ignore the details.

"The general direction is basically not dangerous. But we also have to be extra careful with this 'political enemy'! After all, Lord Duke, I want to remind you that everyone is ambitious! For us, and The political opponent made a few fake fights, so that the Regent can rest assured. But for this political opponent...he may not be willing to be our training partner! Now our competition is not just an ordinary fight. To put it more clearly, It can even be said that it will be a battle over who can become the number one wealthy family in the entire empire in the next few decades! Now it seems that you have some advantages, but the other party has a chance! As I said just now, everyone has their own chances. Ambitious, there is no guarantee that the other party will not want to take this opportunity to really fight us down! Therefore, we must be extra careful with the family of this guy Alpay!".

This conversation happened just after the end of the Northwest War. One night, Philip gave Du Wei all his thoughts.

But now, the general development of things basically conforms to Philip's vision.

Unfortunately, the only dissonant note came from Miss Delly!

When the regent announced his marriage in the imperial capital, in less than three days, the news had spread to the northwest quickly.

Philip studied the news well at once.

In his opinion, this news is not good news for Du Wei.

Alpay's family is destined to become Du Wei's old enemy. And in the family of this old enemy, there is a princess... a princess who is famous for her youth, beauty and talent.

For Du Wei, this is a hidden danger!

Although the regent is a very assertive monarch, and marrying Miss Delly is obviously a political marriage without emotion. But things like feelings are hard to say. Prince Regent Chen is well-known in the imperial capital for being young and passionate. And this Miss Dai Li is also one of the most beautiful women in the southern aristocratic circle, beautiful and talented. There is no guarantee of the future. The Prince Regent would not have fallen deeply in love with this young wife.

At that time, as long as the pillow blows frequently, no matter how assertive a man is, such potential influence day after day will be very dangerous to Du Wei.

And... not only that, Philip saw further!

As a disciple of Lan Hai, Philip's research on the art of the emperor. Knowing the essence of the blue sea, he even made a careful analysis of the current royal family long ago.

In his opinion. The most worrying thing is the future crown prince!

Now the regent is only in his twenties. Although he has a son, Prince Charles, the regent still invites him so young. In the next few decades, it is difficult to guarantee that the new Princess Delly will not give birth to a new prince. If the new The prince is smarter. Is it more loved by the regent?

Another point is that the queen of the current regent was not born into a wealthy family-this is easy to understand, after all, when Prince Chen married for the first time, he was still very young. The celebrity was the eldest prince Yawen, at that time. Most of the wealthy families stood by the eldest prince's side, and few people would put their treasure on Prince Chen's body. The current queen of Prince Chen is only the daughter of a middle-class noble family.

In the future, if Princess Delly gave birth to a boy, the future generation of crown princes will compete for the current Prince Charles. I'm afraid I lack the support of my mother's extended family.

And Princess Delly is not afraid, her family is extremely powerful in the south, and Alpay is also the head of the army! Possess the great military power of the empire! !

Well, even if the Prince Regent won't be tempted easily... But, don't forget the lessons learned! !

The regent is only in his twenties now, and his eldest son, Prince Charlie, is said to be very smart. But if twenty years later... when Prince Charlie is already thirty years old, it is the age when a man most desires to make achievements! And at that time, Prince Regent Chen was only less than fifty years old! It is the peak age of the most mature and thoughtful monarch!

Maybe, I am afraid that the story of the old emperor Augustine VI will be repeated: in order to prevent the eldest son who is an adult from wanting to seize power. He deliberately brought his youngest son out...

Although everyone said that the current regent is much wiser than the old emperor Augustine VI.

It can be related to the throne. What is an impossible place?

So, in the future. General Alpay's family has become Du Wei's biggest illusion enemy!

Philip also did ample research on the family.

Especially the future princess, Miss Delly.

Although the superficial information obtained only showed how young and beautiful this Miss Delly was, as well as her artistic talent and talent... But Philip saw a very unusual clue from the large amount of information he had collected!

The collected information filled a whole drawer in Philip's room. Among the information, there were a few small things about Miss Delly in the past, which attracted Philip's attention!

The first thing is that during the southern snow disaster last year, the victims of the disaster in many areas were violent. Although the empire also took some disaster relief measures, because the roads were destroyed, money and food could not be transported smoothly. There was some turmoil among the victims. Even in some places, the victims besieged the local nobles and robbed food and money.

But at this time, Miss Delly donated all her ornaments, and the local people were extremely moved by the kindness of this lady. Even the victims of the disaster regarded her as the incarnation of the messenger of the goddess, and praised Miss Delly's kindness. .

But Philip sneered!

Donated ornaments? What a joke! How much is a noble lady's jewelry worth? What's more, this Miss Dai Li is usually known for her virtue of "advocating simplicity of life"! A "simple" noble girl, how much is her ornament worth?

Ten thousand gold coins? Twenty thousand gold coins?

Such a small amount of money can only be regarded as an inconspicuous figure for donations. But what makes people think deeply is... During the snow disaster in the south, many nobles in the empire responded to the call of the church and donated money. There are many people who donate hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands!

However, who remembers the names of those people?

But it happened to be such a girl who only donated a few pieces of jewelry, but her name almost spread all over the mainland! All of a sudden, the reputation is unparalleled!

A noble maiden donated several ornaments. It wasn't a big deal at first, but why did the news spread so widely?

If it is said that no one is secretly spreading the word and spread it secretly, then Philip would not believe it if he was killed!

It's very clear, just four words:

Buy people's hearts! !

The second thing is the location recorded in the data file. Born a few years ago. At that time, in this family, the patriarch was going to decide the future patriarch heir of the family. At that time, the young man who was very popular in this family was not General Alpay! At that time, Alpay was only the deputy commander of a local garrison.

However, at this moment, Miss Delly stood up and supported her elder brother Alpay, with the support of her, the goddess of love in the hearts of many noble youths. Alpay immediately got the support of many nobles and had a wide range of contacts!

Although this method, in Philip's view, was a little naive. However, for a girl who is only fifteen years old, being able to achieve this step is already very remarkable.

What do these things mean?

Delly is a girl. Definitely not the pure, beautiful, kind, simple girl with artistic talent in the legend!

In Philip's mind, this Miss Delly is young and beautiful, but also very scheming, a woman who knows how to buy people's hearts, and knows how to use tricks!

And now, such a girl. A person who is about to become a princess and can influence the regent at close range.

This girl has suddenly come to the northwest!

What is she here for?

Simply accompany the princess?

I wouldn't believe it if I killed Philip!

※#8226;

Frowning, Philip fell into deep thought. He read the reports sent back by the people below over and over again.

Even Mr. Alpha’s people guarding the outside of the business association sent several reports. On the surface, there seemed to be nothing special. It was nothing more than who came out of the business association, where they went to buy something, who they met... …everyday, ordinary things.

One of the messages caught Philip's attention.

It's not surprising that a maid of Miss Delly's was found by Philip's men at the residence of the Liszt family's business association in the city. Philip knew that Princess Louise had friendship with Mrs. Lister. When you come to the Northwest, it is normal to contact your friends.

It is worth noting that. After the sent maid went to the residence of the Liszt family, she went to another place!

The religious office of the Guangming Church in the city.

Moreover, just after the maid left the religious place, Her Royal Highness, who has been living in the religious place, immediately went out and went to the business association as a guest! !

That is to say, Her Majesty the Holy Maiden went to meet Princess Louise after the maid sent the news!

Princess Louise herself would never send someone to invite the saint. After all, Princess Louise and Prince Chen were born to the same mother, and the eldest prince Yawen, the saint's father, died at the hands of Prince Chen! The relationship between the two is definitely not harmonious.

So, it was Miss Delly who quietly sent someone to invite the saint?

What does this Delly want to do? !

A haze suddenly flashed across Philip's handsome face. This young man has already established full self-confidence. He believes in his own wisdom and thinks hard about this question. Trying to connect a few people to think...

And at this time, inadvertently, the shadow of that guy named Luoxue suddenly appeared in his mind. The one who looks almost perfect!

"Why did I suddenly think of that guy... Although his background is somewhat suspicious, but... why, I always have a feeling that this person is very dangerous."

Suddenly, Philip suddenly jumped up!

In an instant, an extremely terrifying possibility came to his mind! .

(Hehe, just after I announced that I would take a few days off, the monthly tickets for the next book started to be sold out... I caught up with it in a day, and the monthly ticket ranking of this book is already in jeopardy.

Many readers are urging me to give up the adjustment period, cheer up and fight, and deal with the opponent's pursuit by breaking out, otherwise, I am afraid this month will fall short.

However, I can only say sorry to these readers.

As I said, the most important thing for me now is to adjust my state, and the most important thing for me is to improve the quality of this book.

So, I can't explode, thank you for your love, but I really don't want to explode. There are 10,000 to 20,000 words, if I simply make up the number of words, I can write, but the words that are written out of the explosion, even I am not satisfied, how can I sell it to you?

Therefore, I will not mention it rashly, nor will I blow it up.

As for the monthly pass...that's it. Even if I sacrifice the monthly pass, I still want to improve the quality first!

I have always worked hard to get monthly tickets, but now, I pay more attention to my status and the quality of this book.

If a big tree has no roots, can it still be expected to grow lush leaves?
