Chapter 98 [Yang Conspiracy](1/2)
The Liszt family's calculations are indeed very precise and their plans are also very large!
Judging from the current situation, Goth's succession to the throne is actually second only to that prince.
The goal of the Lister family is to be able to reach a future imperial emperor and allow the family to take off in a substantial way.
The prince rejected the marriage of the Lister family, and then Goth became the target of the Lister family!
The most subtle thing about this matter is that all aspects of the matter are placed on Lodell's marriage!
If Lodell could marry Goth and this matter became a fact, then the Liszt family would use their wealth and connections that had accumulated over a hundred years of family, as well as their influence in all aspects of the empire to start this war of fighting for the throne!
This is definitely not a phenomenon that Du Weiwei is willing to see.
As the helmsman of the Tulip Family, Du Weiwei's sense of mission and responsibility in the family makes the Duke of the Tulip Family naturally have a sense of responsibility for this empire.
What Du Weiwei asked was very clear: even if the throne changes, even if the emperor has no descendants, he would choose another heir to the crown prince. This matter must be excessively stable and there must be no civil strife or internal friction!
Fighting for the throne is related to the struggle for the throne. In history, no matter in any world, it has been the most cruel, bloody, darkest and dirty struggle!
The battle for the throne is by no means an individual war, but will bring all the families and forces involved in the entire group of both sides into this vortex.
The consequences of this kind of war are also extremely tragic! No matter who the victorious party is, the first thing that needs to do after taking office is: cleanse!
Completely clean up the defeated side!
"The most critical part of the ambitious plan of the Liszt family is that doing so will involve my Tulip family in this dangerous vortex! This is their most proud move! Even said that this can be regarded as an open plot."
Du Wei sighed slightly.
"Why do you say that?" Chen Daolin asked.
"Because, under normal circumstances, even if the Liszt family relied on Goth and helped Goth fight for the throne with all their might, they were still at a disadvantage. After all, the prince was recognized as the first heir to be, and a group of supporters would gather around him. My Tulip family has always been unwilling to participate in any throne struggle, because the throne struggle is actually a political speculation. If you lose the bet, it is likely that the whole clan will be destroyed! If you make a bet, you will gain a huge reward! But my Tulip family is already the most wealthy family in the empire. No matter who gets to the emperor, my Tulip family's status is already stable. Just imagine, it is already the most wealthy family in the empire, and what room can you go up? If you want to go up, unless it is... usurpation."
Speaking of this, Du Weiwei smiled bitterly: "But my family has never had such an idea. If my Tulip Family wants to be an emperor, it can be done in the era of the first Duke His Highness Du Wei. Why wait until today? Since I don't want to usurp the throne, there is no room for further advancement anyway, so there is no need to participate in this kind of dangerous political gambling. Anyway, no matter who becomes the emperor, they will come to win over our Tulip Family. Therefore, in the previous process of changing emperors in the past few generations, the Tulip Family has always kept a distance from the princes and will not participate in such things."
Du Weiwei sighed and said bitterly: "The patriarch of the Liszt family, that old man is definitely not an ordinary person. His plan this time just happened to plot against my Tulip Family! Humph... Once they were asked to take the Goth and marry, they would do their best to help the Goth fight for the throne, then my Tulip Family will never be out of the matter again! And... the most vicious part of this plan is that my Tulip Family may have to work hard to help the Goths get to power! This is definitely contrary to the principles of my Tulip Family's history!"
"Why?" Chen Daolin didn't understand: "Why if Goth was pushed out, your Tulips must support Goth? He..."
"Because he is a Goth!" Du Weiwei's eyes flashed, and his tone was very solemn: "He is the descendant of the great Lion Knight Hussein! His ancestor was the closest comrade-in-arms around Du Wei, the first Duke of my Tulip Family, the most trusted general, and the greatest contribution to the legendary era founded by my Tulip Family!"
Hussein.
Chen Daolin is very unfamiliar with this name and is not familiar with it.
But for the Roland Empire, this name is well-known!
In the era of the Tulip Family founded by Du Wei, the Demon Knights swept the world invincible. Hussein was the chief knight of the Demon Knights. It can be said that he is the combat power that the Tulip Family relies most on!
Moreover, this person has a deep personal relationship with Du Wei, the first duke of the Tulip family, and the various existing legends are enough to illustrate this point.
Legend has it that the Hussein Knight had made great contributions to the Tulip Family countless times in the past, and made great contributions. He was the most powerful and trustworthy general around Du Wei, the first Duke of the Tulip Family. He also had a very high influence and appeal in the army!
The most important thing is... he is the chief knight of the Demon Knights! He is the leader of the Demon Knights!
Although the Demon Knights was founded by Du Wei, the first Duke of the Tulip Family, and was also led by Du Wei. After all, Du Wei is a commander and is responsible for the overall situation most of the time, and the one who directly leads the Demon Knights is the Great Knight Hussein.
This is very important!
Although a hundred years have passed since that era, the well-known names of the past have long become history.
Although the legendary demon knights have retired with Du Wei, their descendants remain in the Roland Empire and are active in various fields!
Especially in the imperial army, the descendants of the Demon Knights occupied an important position in many places and had a wide range of influence and connections!
"The guy you know is still young, but he is already considered the star of tomorrow in the Imperial Army. Although he is still thrown into the army of the Eastern Fortress, his files are directly left in the Imperial Army! The top leaders are all paying attention to him! The most important thing is that the guy Kaman's father is still in power! His father is the head of the defense line of the Western Fortress of the Empire, commanding the "Thunder Whip" legion of 100,000 people! That is one of the ace legions of the Empire! There is also Rodriguez IV. Although his father has stepped down, he was once the head of my Tulip Family's private army! His private army of my Tulip Family is commanded by him!"
Du Wei sighed slightly and continued: "The descendants of the Demon Knights have maintained a very deep personal relationship, and they are in the same mood and have a close relationship! Don't look at the two guys Kaman and Luo Xiaogou being jealous for the Lodells, but it is really about to come to a deadly moment. The two are definitely in love with life and death!
The situation of that guy Goth is very special. His ancestors died very early and he became an orphan very early. Because of this, it aroused everyone's sympathy. The descendants of the Demon Knights all treated him as their nephews. When Goth was very young, everyone took great care of him. He grew up and received attention from the descendants of the Demon Knights. Because he had no parents, everyone took special care of him, and even better than his own children. Goth was able to achieve such great achievements at a young age, in addition to his own talent, a large part of the reason was that he was caring for all aspects. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and even my father taught him martial arts personally! During his joining the army, the big guys of the descendants of the Demon Knights in the army were very optimistic about him, and they grew up and took care of him more...
Just imagine, so many heavyweight bosses treat him as if they are their own nephews. With such a deep relationship, once the Goth publicly develops his battle for the position of the crown prince, will those bosses sit still?
The most important thing is: Goths are descendants of the Demon Knights! The Demon Knights are from my Tulip Family! In any case, this name has been deeply imprinted by the Demon Knights!
The bigwigs of the Demon Knights have always been the most staunch supporters of my Tulip Family. Once they make their position to support Goth, my Tulip Family, although as the sect leader, cannot refuse their request to support Goth!
What should I do if those big guys ask for support for Goth?
I can't refuse! Because once I refuse, I will be considered cold-blooded, ignoring the old love! It's ungrateful! Even the big guys of the descendants of the Demon Knights, those uncles and uncles who are still in power, will have a rift against me, the young head of the Tulip Family!
My father has retired, which is my biggest weakness! I am too young. If my father is there, I can naturally suppress those uncles and uncles with his prestige. But after all, I am just a young woman. Although I am the orthodox heir of the Tulip family, if I want those uncles and uncles to completely surrender to me, I always need to wait for me to grow up slowly and get older. I can make some convincing credits to truly convince people!
At this stage, once everyone asks to support Goth, I, the patriarch of the Tulip Family, cannot refuse everyone's wishes!
This is the calculation and planning of the Liszt family! Once they marry Goth, once they push Goth out to compete for the throne, with the identity of "descendants of the Demon Knights", Goth will receive support from a large number of descendants of the Demon Knights!
Furthermore, even the head of the Tulip Family, I, would have to surrender to the public and be kidnapped to support Goths together!"
Chen Daolin understands!
What a weight the tulip family is!
If in the battle for the throne, once the Tulip family clearly stands and supports one side, it will definitely be a qualitative change! To put it more exaggeratedly, the situation of the battle can almost be completely laid!
"And, the most important thing is...even if I really do this against my will, even if I really support Goths to become the future emperor of the empire... The Liszt family is the one who gets the greatest benefit in this matter! They can become the wife of the future emperor of the empire, and rely on the accumulated foundation for a hundred years to become the political wealthy family of the empire! But my Tulip family does not get any benefits at all!
My Tulip Family is already the most wealthy family in the empire. Doing such a thing will ruin our favorability in the hearts of those neutral families and we have broken the rules we have established!
More importantly, once Goth becomes the emperor of the empire, it will be even more dangerous for my tulip family!”
"Danger? Where does the danger come from?" Chen Daolin didn't know anything about politics after all.
"Hmph, the patriarch of the Liszt family thinks I am a young woman, and I must have never thought of this, but I have already seen his calculations clearly! Once Goth becomes the emperor, it will be the arrival of my Tulip Family crisis!" Du Weiwei looked solemn: "This patriarch of the Liszt family is really easy to plot!"
"I... don't understand." Chen Daolin shook his head: "Miss, please tell me clearly?"
Du Weiwei widened her eyes and looked at Chen Daolin, frowned and said, "Darling, you and I talked about it all night long, you are all about literature and martial arts, and you talk about the past and present. I think you are a person with a profound knowledge and a sensitive sense of politics. Why can't you see through this matter?"
Chen Daolin spread his hands and blinked: "I didn't expect that the Duke's evaluation of me is so high, which disappoints you. I really don't understand this."
"..." Du Weiwei frowned and looked at Chen Daolin and sighed: "In fact, it is not difficult to see clearly. The biggest key is... the natural opposition between the imperial power and the Tulip family!"
Chen Daolin's heart moved!
Although he is not the kind of smart genius, he has received a modern education in the real world with a complete system and has also learned political philosophy.
The most important thing is that in the modern world, all kinds of historical documents are read casually, all kinds of official and unofficial history are everywhere, as well as various films, TV series, novels, and palace fights are flying all over the sky.
Therefore, although this kind of political conspiracy is not his strength, I don’t know how many of them have been read. It is said that if you read three hundred Tang poems well, you will be able to recite them even if you can’t write poems.
Chen Daolin himself was also quite smart, and he could understand it immediately!
The natural opposition between the imperial power and the tulip family!
Yes!!
The Tulip family is too strong and does not matter to the people of the empire, but for the imperial power, the existence of a too powerful minister is by no means a blessing for the royal family!
The most important reason why the current emperor of the empire can coexist peacefully with the tulip family and can be safe for several generations is that the current imperial emperors are simply a family with Tulips from their ancestors!
The Emperor and Duke of Tulip were both descendants of Du Wei, and were considered brothers.
This kind of blood-related closeness can resolve many contradictions to a large extent.
But... Goth is not!
The Goth's ancestor was the Knight Hussein! He was not Du Wei's son! He was Du Wei's deployment, a general, and a close comrade-in-arms!!
What does Goth represent once he ascended the throne?
The emperor lineage representing the empire will never have Du Wei's bloodline again in the future!!
From the blood relationship, the emperor and the Tulip family will no longer be related to blood!!
This directly cut off an important bond between the emperor and the tulip family!!
This is a hidden danger!
In addition, there is a second one! Moreover, this second hidden danger is even deeper!!
If Goth really became the emperor, then... the opposition between imperial power and the Tulip family will never disappear!!
Even if Goth himself will not suppress the Tulip family, even if Goth himself will continue to live in peace with the Tulip family because of his feelings for the Tulip family...
Don't go, there is a saying in this world called "The butt determines the head!"
Wherever you sit, you have to do whatever you have! What is your identity, you have to take on the responsibility!
Who can guarantee that after Goth becomes emperor, he will not think about things from the perspective of the emperor?
As an emperor, a qualified emperor must consolidate the imperial power! We must concentrate our power!
If the emperor wants to concentrate power, he must cut power from the Tulip family! This is a contradiction that cannot be reconciled!
Once Goth becomes emperor, even if Goth doesn’t do this, Goth’s descendants will do it!
Once the new royal family of Goths had a conflict with the tulip family...
Then, things are really troublesome!
Why?
It's still the same saying "Descendants of the Demon Knights"!!
To be continued...
