However, neither the people nor the aristocratic class meant to overthrow the Augustine family's rule to the change of dynasties. Since there was no, then as the only representative of the Augustine family, Hilo continued to sit in the position of the emperor, which seemed unstable, but in fact it was more stable than anyone else!

It’s just an internal worry... I think that the existence of the Tulip family is the biggest internal worry of the empire!

Power is actually very simple.

A healthy and reasonable rule is: if you have the status, you will exercise the power that your status gives you. I am the Minister of Finance, so I will do the financial things. He is the emperor. Then he will have the power that the emperor should have.

And now, as the Duke, the Tulips family plays the power of the Supreme Emperor of the entire empire for several generations... Do you think this is reasonable?

As for the external troubles you mentioned...

Where are the external troubles?

Is it because of the military conflict with the orcs reported by the Northwest Independent Division today? God knows whether this is a conspiracy created by the Northwest Independent Division to betray the Tulips family!

The orcs and alien races have surrendered to us for a hundred years! We gradually weaken them, weaken them with economic means and attack them!

Do you think that the large number of smuggling caravans go north to trade every year, but it is really just that the royal family is neglecting to manage such things?

We use our special wisdom, in the way we humans are best at: wisdom! to weaken our enemies!

I have worked as the Minister of Finance for many years, and I can tell you clearly that the current orc kingdom is in unprecedented weakness! At least in terms of their national strength!

Due to the unrestricted population growth and the lack of internal resources, civil strife in the Orc Kingdom has become more and more commonplace! The most confidential news I have received is that in the past three years, internal strife and internal strife between large and small tribes in the Orc Kingdom have exploded more times than in the past ten years!

We use the cheapest things, food, clothing, and other consumables produced by the Roland Empire to go to the orc territory for their real resources!

We are bleeding the orcs bit by bit!

foreign aggression?

I tell you, even the most conservative generals in the Empire do not think that the orcs will pose any real threat to the Empire! With the Kaspersky defense line intact and the empire's elite main battle legions, I do not think that the orcs will pose any threat to humans.

As for our civilization level, our military means have made great progress over the past century... And what are the orcs? Power? Barbarism? Courage?

Do you still want to talk about grassland?

Looking at the founding history of the entire Roland Empire, this century has been the weakest era of the grassland and the most surrender to the Roland Empire!

Through this century, we have been constantly weakening these grassland barbarians! We used food and inferior wine to exchange enough war horses from the grassland! The only material that the grassland people have advantages over us!!

Once the grassland people no longer have an advantage over the plains people on the cavalry... then the era when the grassland people can act recklessly is already over!!

Span. You should understand!

The era where you and I are is the most powerful and prosperous era in the history of the entire Roland Empire! This is also the best era!!"

Span was speechless.

But Ovedo continued, "Do you know why I am frustrated and why I am angry?"

"……have no idea."

"Because I hate these things! I hate them!!" Ovedo clenched his fist hard: "I hate the facts that I cannot refute from the mouth of the usurper! I hate them, and he harshly opened my true cognition that had been wrapped in emotional tendencies!

Emotionally. I hate Hilo, but rationally... I have to agree with him."

Speaking of this, he slowly said: "In addition to the above, his statement also includes the most important point: As of now, it is now the best time for the imperial royal family to weaken the Tulip family for a whole hundred years! It may even be the only time! This is simply the best opportunity given by God to the royal family to regain all the imperial power! The right time, place, people, and almost everything, the Tulip family is in a major crisis!

The Tulip Family is now out of unprecedented weakness!

If you want to regain power and reshape the unique danger of imperial power - it is unique! Then now is the best opportunity! There will be no better opportunity than this!"

"First, the coup in Hilo caused the Tulips to lose a group of young elites, and they were trapped in a state of chaos, with conservatives and radicals in a state of division.

Second, the duchess did not have enough time to take office. She was too young and had too little qualifications. The most important thing was that she was a woman! Although her bloodline gave her strong advantages, these advantages were not enough to fill all her weaknesses! Especially since she was a woman, in this world dominated by men, she wanted to make the Tulips family's old group of old and qualified members who had been old and qualified. Let those arrogant soldiers bow their heads to a woman obediently - and a girl who had never proved herself and had never made any outstanding and convincing achievements. This is really difficult!

Third, the betrayal of the Northwest Independent Division, of course, this will not directly cause the collapse of the Tulips family, but will make them hurt violently! It will cause them to lose blood! It will cause them to break an arm!

The most important thing is that it will hit the Duke's prestige even more seriously!

Just imagine, shortly after taking over the family, the powerful generals in the family led their troops to betray... While everyone was attacking and condemning Sylvester, naturally many people would think that it was this young duchess who had too poor control and too weak leadership!

In a word, gender and age are the biggest weaknesses of the Tulip Duke.

The Tulip family is great! Prestige is high!

But the current tulip family is the weakest time in more than a hundred years. It is like a giant dragon - but it is a temporarily sick dragon!

What I have to admit even more is that there are also problems with the Tulip family's control over the grassland.

This abnormal movement on the grassland has proved that the so-called White King played an important role in it.

I can even say... it was Du Wei's excessive strength and glory back then that laid the root of disaster for today's empire! Several of his descendants inherited some of his geniuses.

However, when these geniuses start fighting with each other...

I don't think that the tulip home can maintain a lot of powerful quality now."

Speaking of this, Ovedo slowly said: "This dragon is in a state of illness. We don't know how long it will be sick... but it can be imagined that if he did nothing, with the wisdom of the duchess, he would sooner or later solve all internal problems and restore the dragon to health! So, this opportunity is rare. Perhaps, in the past one hundred years and the next one hundred years, at this stage, it is the best time to attack this sick dragon!

Hilo's only weakness is that his succession time was also short. It was the lack of human hearts caused by his incorrect position.

But even so, it has to be said that the timing of Hilo's choice to start was not too bad, but too good!

Just now, in the palace, Hilo personally admitted to me. He knew where his own disadvantages were.

But God will not have a second chance! If he missed this opportunity, perhaps he would never have the chance to weaken the Tulips family and take back the imperial power in his life!

There has never been anything that needs to be done when all the conditions are ready before taking action - God will not give you that opportunity.

So. In any case, Hilo will not give up in the face of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if he himself has weaknesses, he will not give up!

Because, this is his only chance!”

Span was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he whispered: "But Father... what do you mean when you mention His Majesty Marsh?"

"I mean... If His Majesty Marshi was in power, he would have done this."

"I don't believe it!" Span shook his head: "His Majesty Marshi is a good emperor!"

"It is precisely because he is a good emperor that he will do this. An excellent good emperor will definitely try his best to take back the imperial power, and will try his best to change the situation of sharing authority with others! Remember this! There is naturally no "qingen" love for the people like the emperor! In the face of imperial power, everything that tries to share power is the enemy!"

After saying that, Ovedo patted his son: "Okay... I want to give you a few things."

Span's face was complicated. Although he was still a little unwilling, he still lowered his head silently: "Father, please give me instructions."

"I know that I have suppressed you in the Finance Department over the years and controlled you under my wings. You have always been dissatisfied. It's not that I don't let you enter the army... but that I have some selfishness. In the years of peace, even if you enter the army, you don't have a stage to show your ambitions. You can only endure the experience in the army and silently waste your time on the training ground. Then, after a certain age, you will turn to a civilian position and fall into the military department to be a person who does documents and copywriting. I think this is not the life you yearn for."

"..." Span Momo nodded.

"But the situation is different now." Ovedo touched his face and sighed: "I can't see through the future situation of this empire anymore... I really want to die immediately! I'm very worried that Hilo is a madman! But he is a smart madman! What's scary about him is that he will play the craziest bet with the most rational attitude! I can't see clearly where the empire will be dragged and slid toward in the future. But... I agreed to one of his requests today."

"Request?" Span's eyes changed.

"From tomorrow, I will step down from the position of Minister of Finance and officially become the Prime Minister of the Empire." Ovedo's words shocked Span's body!!

Prime Minister!!

At least from the perspective of official positions, this is definitely a position below one person and above millions!

"I don't want to accept such an appointment, but since I did not choose to die with His Majesty Mahjong during the coup, I always have to do something to keep this life. Whether Hilo is a madman or a wise man, a usurper, or a wise ruler in the future... I always have to continue standing here and keep looking at this empire. This is the only thing I can do before I die."

"Father..." Span's voice trembled: "Are you... planning to assist Hilo... cutting, cutting, and cutting the vassal? Are you going to help him and attack the Tulips?"

Ovedo's face and tone were extremely serious!

A trace of pain even flashed in his eyes.

But he nodded slowly after all!

"I don't have less respect for the Tulips than anyone else... but at least, I agree with Hilo's words. A normal empire should not have such a huge creature. No matter how much I respect the Tulips... I am a Rolander first."

After patting his son hard, he didn't look at the strong disappointment on Span's face, Ovedo said quickly: "I made a decision too... From tomorrow on, you don't have to continue to stay in the Finance Department. I think you have already experienced it in the past few years. I have a new position, and maybe you will be very interested."

“New…post?”

...

The rushing footsteps passed through the steps and through the long corridors.

Even though the corners of the skirt were flying and almost tripped several times, she still did not slow down at all.

Finally rushed to the front door...

When the guards in front of the door saw her, they all moved away silently.

Fiona took a deep breath and pushed open the door with both hands!

After the double-opened arch was pushed open, Fiona saw Du Weiwei at a glance and the leader of the Tulip family.

Du Weiwei's red hair was slowly tied into a bunch and tied to the back of her head. This hairstyle further highlighted her slender neck with beautiful lines.

She no longer wore the noble clothes and soft long gowns of the past.

A piece of armor with a unique and magnificent shape was put on her body! The armor was carved with fine patterns: the tulip blooming in the flames!

A long sword, attached to the scabbard, lay quietly on the table beside him.

Du Weiweiping raised his arms, and right beside Du Weiwei, several serious servants were nervous and orderly helping her to tie every buckle and rope of the armor carefully.

When Fiona rushed in, Du Weiwei just completed the last step of armor-piercing.
To be continued...
