12, it's not easy to get up now
"Now there is no such person as Edward in this world. Last night I had sent royal troops to search the church's wealth. I guess it has been almost done." Tim lazily put his body into the chair and said lightly, then told Prince Siglas about what happened recently.
"That's great, great, you did a great job, it's so satisfying to get rid of him." Siglas was not angry but happy after hearing this: "This man hates him very much. He relies on his relationship with Archbishop Johnson in the Cardinal, and it is a good thing to get rid of him now. In this way, the power of the church in the Algarve region can be slightly weakened, and the exploitation of the church will be greatly reduced in the future. In addition, the gold coins and wealth obtained by the church can provide more troops, which will be easier when the trouble begins."
"Uh, uncle, uprising..." Hearing Sigras' words, Tim was frightened. He felt that this uncle was not a soft persimmon, and he seemed to have been preparing for the plan to seize the throne.
Siglas looked at Tim's stupid look and couldn't help but laugh: "What? Are you scared? Do you still have no idea about the king's throne? Don't forget that you are His Highness the Prince. Even if you keep escaping and retreating, you will be involved in the battle for the throne. Instead of being passively involved, it is better to take the initiative to get greater benefits. The army and nobles behind my uncle all hope that you can work hard." Speaking of this, Siglas was quite helpless.
The Portuguese Kingdom seems to be peaceful now, but in fact, the country has been in a turbulent wave. If this critical period is not prepared, then it will be a cruel massacre and reshuffle.
As the former commander of the Portuguese Army and the uncle of Prince Tim, Sigras naturally had to consider his nephew, but his nephew has never been very competitive, which made him a headache.
This time I finally heard that my nephew had eliminated Edward. I thought it would change from now on, but now it still looks the same. Siglas was a little disappointed and helpless.
How could Tim not see clearly the helplessness in Sigras's eyes? He must be determined to win the Portuguese throne, otherwise how would the plan to open a new route and dream of a strong country be realized in the future?
What's more, there are several brothers above their heads, and they are almost all tough characters. If they don't get rid of them, how can they live a stable life?
"Uncle is overly concerned. Of course I have ideas about the throne, but you have seen it too. My situation is the most difficult now. I must make good plans, otherwise it will be a fatal death if I reveal my feet too early. It is not easy to get up now. Let's suppress this idea for the time being." Tim stood up and walked to Siglass and said seriously.
"Hahaha, okay, okay." Siglas nodded and laughed satisfied after hearing Tim's words: "As long as you have ideas, I'm afraid that if we win, you won, you won't want to be king."
"How is it that easy? It's too early to say these things now. It's better not to think about them anymore. Now I plan to go to Lisbon and Algarve will take care of my uncle for the time being." Tim turned around and poured a basin of cold water on Siglas, so that he would not lose his composure and lose his composure.
"Is it because of Edward?" After hearing Tim's words, Siglas quickly calmed down: "Although Edward was eliminated, the Archbishop Johnson in the Clothing is probably difficult to deal with. You have to find a way to deal with it. Using the excuse of possessing a demon, you can deceive the villagers in the city, but I'm afraid you can't get rid of Johnson."
After hearing Siglas's words, Tim couldn't help but be stunned: "Uncle, what do you mean?"
"Hmph, those archbishops use their full incest to restrain the secular people, but which one of them has done it? Which of them is not a group of wives and children." At this point, Siglas was almost angry.
"Ordinary people believe in possession of demons because they are not well educated and have no ability to think independently, so they are taken away by you. But those archbishops do not believe it, because they are the biggest liars themselves, how could you deceive the liars? So no matter what you do in the future, you must believe in yourself and not rely on the misty gods. At most, it is just a kind of comfort in your heart. It is you who really succeeds."
"Uncle, don't say anything more. If it spreads, there will be unnecessary trouble." Hearing Sigras's words, Tim was so shocked that his chin almost fell. His uncle seemed to have no faith in Christianity and seemed to have always believed in the principle that man conquers nature.
After hearing Tim's words, Siglas also realized his fault and quickly stopped and skipped the topic: "By the way, since the Warren family is looking for your help, if possible, you can help them. After all, this family is still not weak in China, and many people in China are in contact with them. Once the Warren family returns to the ranks of nobles, it will be a rare help for you, but don't force yourself too much."
"Don't worry, uncle, I feel a sense of responsibility. By the way, what's going on with Castile recently?" Tim nodded, and asked about the border.
Prince Sigras smiled and said, "Castill has not made any noise about us in Portugal recently. However, the people sent out to find out that Castill's army is already moving to the border of Granada. I don't know what the noise is."
"The army has gone to the border of Granada." Tim murmured to himself. Castile was probably preparing to attack Granada to open up the port leading to the Mediterranean.
But there are still some days before the war breaks out, and Tim doesn't think about it. The most important thing now is to go to Lisbon.
"Report to His Highness the Prince, Nathan asks for a meeting." While Tim and Prince Siglas talked, Nathan's voice suddenly rang out of the door.
"It seems that he has done it." Tim couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Nathan's voice. He didn't know how much wealth the church is.
Nathan soon ran in and greeted Tim and Siglas respectively. Then he took out a list from his arms and handed it to Tim with his hands.
Tim glanced and handed it to Siglas. Siglas looked happy and said, "The church has indeed collected a lot of wealth. It seems that Edward loves money very much. He did not give much to the Archbishop of Lisbon. Hahaha, this money is enough to support a powerful army."
"Well, my uncle arranged for someone to deal with these gold coins. After Algarve stabilized, you will immediately return to the border, so as not to be caught by people with ulterior motives." Tim was also very happy about this gain. After all, he needs money for anything he does now, and he really can't do anything without money.
Siglas nodded and agreed: "Who are you going to take to this trip to Lisbon?"
Tim lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "This time I go to Lisbon, I will take Warren and a few guards."
"Is this safe? Don't you plan to let Nathan go with me?" Siglas's heart tightened after hearing Tim's words.
"Algarve still needs Nathan to maintain public order, so I can go by myself. At worst, I can bring more people." Tim shook his head and rejected Siglas' proposal. Algarve really needs Nathan to stabilize the situation, otherwise he will leave his front foot and Algarve will be in chaos, which is too unpaid.
