Chapter 420 [Women's Privileges]

The wheels roll!

The coachman had tried his best to urge the horses to run, the wheels were crushing on the stone road, and the axles made a squeaking sound.

As soon as he rushed to the front of the mansion, the car had not stopped yet, and the loyal old servant with bright hair in the mansion had already trotted out.

When Ovedo was helped out of the carriage, the old minister, who had always been strong and strong, staggered and almost fell under the wheel!

"Old, sir?"

"Let me go!"

Ovedo suddenly emitted a sharp light in his eyes, and he shook away the old servant who grabbed his arm and rushed into the mansion with great strides.

In the hall, a young man who looked over twenties had been waiting for a long time.

This young man was strong and strong, but he was wearing the costume of an imperial civil servant and wearing a plain white robe. Judging from his appearance, he looked 700 to 80% similar to Ovedo. Seeing Ovedo coming in, he hurriedly came over.

"Father?"

Ovedo glanced at his son, and did not say anything, but walked directly past him, came to the table, grabbed the kettle on the table, and did not take the cup, turned the mouth of the pot to his mouth, raised his neck, and poured it into it.

It's been a long time...

Bang!!

The kettle was thrown hard on the ground by him, and the copper kettle had been smashed to pieces.

Ovedo pinched the corner of the table with one hand, and the old minister's body was trembling, and his fingers were all white!

Finally, he took a deep breath and slowly vomited it out.

"Father? What big thing happened?"

Ovedo shook his head slowly, staring at his son, his tone a little bitter: "Span! Do you know, I don't really regret it until today!"

Ovedo's son, Span was stunned, looked at his father and said in a deep voice: "Father? What do you regret?"

"That New Year's Eve a few months ago...I..." Ovedo's voice was deep: "I... should have died that night!"

Span was shocked and stared at his father in surprise. Unexpectedly, his father said this.

After the coup of Hilo, old ministers of the former dynasty like Ovedo once became the focus of everyone's attention.

After the coup, Oviedo was imprisoned in a cell in the palace.

In the end, the old minister chose to surrender to Hilo - openly and secretly, naturally many people would rebuke and disdain him: This Minister of Finance, who has always been known for his toughness, turned out to be just a corrupt person when things came to an end.

Only Span knew how difficult it was for his father to choose this step!!

He only remembered that after his father was finally put back home, the whole night was glad that old and young people in the family were glad—but the only old minister locked himself in the study room and locked him up all night.

Even at that time, even my son, who was the son, was happy for his father's safe return, deep down, in a deep place, he could not help but feel a little disappointed about his father's final choice to betrayal - this disappointment has nothing to do with human ethics, but it probably originated from the disillusionment of his idol in his heart.

But just before his father surrendered to Hilo and returned home safely, an incident in which Kaman and Luo Xiaogou splashed blood in the hall broke out in the imperial capital!

Under such a strong contrast, you can imagine how much torment this old minister was in his heart!

Span couldn't even imagine what kind of power it was to support his father, and he still stood up. He took on the burden of the empire's finances again, and survived step by step through the ridicule and mockery in secret.

"If I were a few years older, maybe I would go with His Majesty Mahjong." One night, Ovedo, who had drunk two glasses of wine, said to his son: "But now I cannot die... because your generation has not grown up yet!"

It was precisely this that rekindled the fire of admiration for his father in Span's heart.

And until today, watching my father lose his soul and escape home as if he was running away, and watching him say such words in a frustrated tone...

Span calmed down, calmed his mind, and reached out to pull his father's sleeve: "Father! What happened?"

Ovedo smiled faintly, and then told everything that happened in the palace today in a strange tone.

Span could still remain calm at first, but after hearing it, he exclaimed immediately. He covered his mouth hard and stared at his father with wide eyes.

Ovedo remained unmoved and continued to speak out everything in the palace in that almost cold tone...

"Shilo... This, this usurper!! Is he crazy?!" Span shouted sternly: "He actually dares to attack the Tulip family!! Is he really not afraid of provoking civil war!!!"

The young man waved his arms excitedly: "This shameless usurper!! He forgot that it was the tulip family that supported the sky of the empire in the most difficult times! He forgot that it was the great first duke who made today's Roland Empire with all his might!! He..."

Ovedo was not surprised by his son's excitement.

Because he knew very well that his son had been a firm "tulipist" since he was a child. To be precise, his son was an admirer of the tulip family.

This is not surprising. In fact, the great legend of the Tulips family has always been circulated in the empire. Many young people, especially among the aristocratic class, grew up listening to the stories of the first duke of the Tulips family since childhood. The glorious image of the first duke was deeply engraved in the hearts of many young people and was regarded as the idol in their hearts!

A talented young man, relying on his own strength, created a great family and became an unparalleled prominent figure in the world. He created a legend that cannot be surpassed and became the object of admiration for thousands of people - what else can inspire young people to worship more than this kind of story?

If it were in the past, Ovedo would certainly approve of his son's view - even he grew up listening to Du Wei's legend.

But at this moment, for the first time in his life, when his son was filled with righteous indignation, the old minister fell into a strange and cold...silence!

After Span vented his catharsis, he suddenly discovered his father's silence. He frowned and looked at his slightly tranced father: "Father... what are you thinking?"

Ovedo suddenly sighed softly and whispered: "I'm thinking... what would he do if... His Majesty Mahjong was still alive."

Span was stunned, then stared at his father with incredible eyes and exclaimed: "Father? What are you... what are you talking about?!"

Ovedo sat down slowly, his hands still tightly holding the corner of the table.

The old minister's body trembled slightly, and then he sighed deeply: "Because just now, in the palace, facing the usurper of Hilo... facing his words... I suddenly realized that I was almost convinced by him!"

His expression was a little tragic!

Span's face looked even more ugly. He bit his lip and looked at his father: "You...how could you have such an idea? Father, you are the most determined and bravest person I have ever met..."

"This has nothing to do with determination and courage!"

Ovedo was a little weak, but shook his head very resolutely!

He raised his head and looked at his son: "We all respect the Tulips... No, we can even worship tulips. But... I suddenly realized that if I temporarily put aside the emotional factors for the Tulips in my heart... I looked at it with a calm attitude towards history... I suddenly realized that for a normal empire, the Tulips are indeed a deformed existence!"

After a pause, he looked at his son with dissatisfaction: "This is a bad thing...but the fact is the fact."

"In an empire, the highest authority can only be held in the hands of one person. Any existence like a powerful minister will only compete for power with the emperor... There is only so much power, if you take more, I will definitely take less!

As any emperor, unless he is particularly foolish, he will never tolerate a powerful minister sharing the supreme power with himself for a long time!

But our empire... such a special situation has lasted for more than a hundred years.

Several generations of emperors have silently endured the existence of the Tulip Family and silently endured. There is a huge existence in the empire who is fully qualified to pose a threat to the imperial power. He is silently endured, and an existence that shares the highest authority with himself!

This is unimaginable for a natural leader like the emperor.

So... say that the Tulip House is great, it is naturally great.

However, if we put aside the emotional factors... the Tulip House, such a giant, can indeed be said to be a deformed existence for an empire.

You have read history books, and I have read history books.

Imperial power is exclusive and unique!

The imperial power may make some compromises and concessions to power within a short period of time, but this time is limited. Sooner or later, the imperial power will burst out with a strong rebound. Because the imperial power is naturally impossible to be something that can be shared with people!"

Span stared at his father. He seemed to be trying to refute something, but he, who has been familiar with history books since he was a child, could not even say a word of refutation.

Although it is really hard to accept emotionally... he has to admit that his father, Ovedo, is telling the truth.

This is indeed true!

"Then you talk about His Majesty Marshi..." Span hesitated for a moment.

"I'm wondering... facing such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... what would he do if the person sitting in the palace now was not Hilo, but His Majesty Marshi."

Span suddenly looked surprised: "Father! What are you saying?! If His Majesty Mahjong was in power, he would never have done such a rebellious act!!"

"Take a rebellious act?" Ovedo actually showed a faint mocking smile on his face: "Do you think it is a rebellious act to weaken them now?"

Span wanted to refute that he wanted to say that it was an extremely wrong thing to attack a legendary family that had made great contributions to the empire. But then he thought of what his father said just now.

It is undeniable that I have eliminated my emotional tendency towards the Tulips family. If I look at it with an indifferent and neutral attitude, my father's words make sense: the existence of the Tulips family is too special! It is so special that there is no similar example in history books from ancient times to the present.

The result of long-term sharing of imperial power will inevitably lead to conflict!

No matter how much credit the Tulips made, they had no position to continue to share the imperial power in the face of the emperor's natural and legal status - unless the Tulips rebel immediately and make themselves a new royal family.

If you do not rebel, then as a noble, you should indeed maintain the authority that a noble should have.

Things like crossing the line are exceptions... they can be temporary, but not long-term.

After thinking for a long time, Span finally found a reason for himself:

"Now that the empire is worried about foreign troubles at home, Shilo dares to do such a big thing. Once a civil war starts, where will the empire's national power fall? Isn't such a stupid thing going against the flow?!"

However, Ovedo calmed down and stared at his son: "Internal and external troubles? Tell me what internal and external troubles are there?"

This time, before Span could speak, Ovedo himself quickly continued:

"Is it internal trouble? The only internal trouble at present is that Hilo has an incorrect position! But he has no competitors or imaginary enemies of the throne! Even if some people think that Hilo has despised the way he has obtained the throne, at least in the Augustine Dynasty, Hilo is the only candidate with the best bloodline with inheritance rights! The person who is most threatening to him is dead! So even if some people disdain him, in this world where the bloodline represents everything, the blood flowing from him is destined to be the best candidate for emperor at present. There is no doubt about this!

Unless the dynasty is changed, replace the Augustine Dynasty!
