Chapter 1266 Another step forward
It is not surprising that Dulin was able to appear here. With Dulin's current status and reputation, it is normal for someone to inform him, not to mention that these things have not been kept confidential.
Kubar was stunned for a moment, then turned around and closed the door, walked to the hospital bed, looked at Magus who was staring at the ceiling, feeling a little sad.
Ophelia called uncle very affectionately. The relationship between Kubar and Magus is well known among the great nobles. This is a very good pair of friends, but they are going in two directions because of their different "ideas".
They are enemies in business, but in private, they are good friends. Such a clear distinction between public and private has indeed attracted many people to pay attention to it.
There are actually people who believe this kind of nonsense. Of course, most of the time people think that this is just a society that seems a little simple. This is not a fool. They are not lying to fool.
Dulin also took the initiative to reach out and respectfully followed Ophelia and shouted "Uncle Kubar". He was a little thick-skinned, but it worked very well.
Magus's experience made Kubar feel a sense of fear deep in his heart. What was frightened was not that Magus was attacked, not that he was seriously injured, but that he was old. He just fell down and became such a fragile body. All of this made him frightened and frightened.
No one can be so powerful that he even has to give in. Whether it is the gods in the book who once ruled the world with all their powers, or the sages and great men who have recorded their writings, these people eventually turned into a handful of loess, and may not even be found now.
People will die after all. No matter what they have experienced or what kind of wealth they have, they will die.
Everyone knows this. As long as people are still alive, they cannot escape the threat of death. However, everyone wants to avoid this to the greatest extent. No one purely hopes that they will die.
Many times people subconsciously ignore the years and death. Part of the reason may be that they are still young and have many years to live, so they don’t care much about the threat of death.
Another part of the reason is the pressure of life and work, which makes many people who should start to consider these issues because they are busy and have no time to think about these life-and-death issues.
But this thing is not that if you don’t think about it or think about it, it really doesn’t exist.
Before Magus' accident, Kubar never considered that he was really not young, and it seemed that he had not been away from his death for many years. He always felt that death was a very distant thing.
But now, he felt the strong smell of despair emitted by death!
Last night, he had asked the butler to order the workers to remove all the floor tiles in the bathroom, toilet, toilet... all the rooms with water that may have water. Those exquisite floor tiles that use gold, silver and gems as beautiful and priceless were smashed like waste, picked out one by one, and then thrown into the garbage dump.
All the grounds are as required by Kubar, and must be anti-slip and waterproof, which will make those grounds very ugly and uneven, but he doesn't care.
Compared to being well and living healthy, this small problem is no longer a problem for him. If the carpet was not soaked, it would be a little slippery. He wished he could lay carpets in the bathroom!
All of this is the credit of Magus. It was Magus's experience that made him start to face these things, including his own death.
He stretched out his hand and shook Dulin without any trace. He didn't care about Dulin's intimate name. Their relationship should be like this. He always regarded Magus' family as his own. Of course, his family is also Magus' family. They were originally a family without blood relationship.
"When I heard this bad news, I immediately put down my work and rushed over. The doctor was not here, and I was not sure about Uncle Magus' condition..." Dulin immediately began to talk about Magus's issue, which made Kubar feel much more comfortable again.
Whether you feel or not after you get older, your emotions, personality, and temper have changed from the past, including your way of thinking.
In the past, Kubar would only think this was a normal question, but today, he suddenly felt that Dulin cared about Magus very much. He was a good child who knew to respect his elders. The words and sentences of poverty made him unable to express the meaning of "filial piety". This is not Kubar's own problem, but everyone's problem.
The two walked outside the ward to talk for a while, then returned to the room, discussing these situations outside, so they didn't want to disturb Magus anymore. He already knew his condition, but repeatedly hearing about his condition was not an interesting thing, especially when he was unable to express it through behavior and actions.
After learning about some of the problems and difficulties encountered by Magus, Dulin said that if there is any place to use him, he hopes that Kubar will notify him.
Kubar patted Dulin on the shoulder and the two returned to the room together.
Magus was still lying face up, one eye closed and the other opened. Kubar was a little curious and asked, "Did he close this eye by himself?"
He cares about this issue very much. Even if there is a way to express it clearly, it can determine many things.
People often think that "yes" and "no", "right" and "wrong" are not complete expressions, but these two sets of expressions are enough to express the result of logical judgment. So only what Kubar or others need to say, Magus can completely solve many things by answering whether to close his eyes.
But unfortunately, this is destined not to be able to do it by Magus himself. Ophelia whispered apologetically, "I see that uncle's eyes are always open. I think he will be tired, so I asked him to close one of his eyes and wait for a while before replacing it with another eye to rest."
Kubar raised his eyebrows and smiled and said that it was nothing, but the disappointment on his face was expressed in words.
Dulin and Ophelia said goodbye immediately. After Kubar came, he must have had a lot of things to say to Magus, so they couldn't bother here, so they left on their own initiative.
As soon as the two left, Kubar closed the door, and the forced smile on his face quickly solidified, and then shattered with a click.
He tore his tie with great uneducatedness and sat by the bed and sighed tiredly, "The eldest prince's hand is stretched too long. He is speeding up to win over middle and lower-level members of the new party while you are sick, and the old party has also encountered the impact."
"He has a big appetite. No matter who he is, he can join his imperial party just by nodding. This is a very bad phenomenon. Once he completes the system of the entire organization in a short time, he will start the next step."
"He promised many benefits to others, and some words sounded so shocking that they couldn't speak, but he said it because he had nothing now!"
"When he has the ability to pay those people, he has already gained a matching status and strength. I never think he is a bad boy, but obviously he is."
"I really hope you can get better as soon as possible. Only in this way can we stabilize the situation. What's even more terrifying is that the Rose Knights fell directly to the eldest prince, and we lost one goal first!"
In the small room where both of them knew who each other was but absolutely invisible, there were seven seats in total. Now Magus has fallen, leaving only six people.
Among these six people, the Rose Knights have turned to the eldest prince, and Kubar is a separate side. In other words, if Kubar does not want to lose, he must win over two of them as soon as possible to stand on his side.
But for the eldest prince, he only needs to win over another person, and he will not lose no matter what.
Moreover, once an absolute advantage is formed, it is easy to have a snowball effect. When they are finally forced to make a decision, they will definitely choose the safest decision, which is to surrender to the eldest prince.
This is the most significant difference between business and politics. In business behavior, people only value the rate of return, which is a necessary and most critical factor. As long as the rate of return is high enough, no matter how high the risk is, there will definitely be someone to gamble!
But if the return rate is pitifully low and the risk is very small, there may not be someone investing in this project, because the return rate is too small and there are risks. This is not a stable transaction, so it means that even if there is only one percent of the danger, there is a possibility of losing.
Since there is a possibility of losing, why not choose the project with the largest return rate?
Politics are different. Politics emphasize stability. Perhaps there are times when there is a thunder strike, but more often it is stable. It is difficult for people who often take the initiative to make great achievements in the officialdom.
On this stage where the whole world is watching, as long as you can ensure that you have no bad changes, you have already won, so everyone is willing to not win or lose.
When the "power" of the eldest prince accumulates to a certain level, in order to ensure that his own interests are not lost, those people will also turn to the eldest prince's camp.
In their view, this is like a simple addition and subtraction method. First remove some unnecessary people and let power be concentrated in the hands of a few people. Then they unite to restrict the continuous expansion of the eldest prince, perfect!
The position of power has once again been unprecedentedly improved and there is no possibility of failure, so why not do this?
Once this effect is formed, it will be difficult to recover even if Magus recovers immediately.
Kubar's first job is now three things. The first thing is to restore Magus as soon as possible, and the second thing is to find out who attacked Magus when he was in Seleville, who was the main messenger, and the third thing is to maintain the balance of the power of the members of the top parliament.
Yes, that invisible basement has a completely opposite name, it is called "Prespect Council"!
"The eldest prince passed some small words last night. He thought your body was no longer suitable for continuing to work. It is recommended to remove your position and only six seats will be retained on the council in the future..." He rubbed his temples, and the headache was relieved a little. "Someone told me this news. Although those people did not talk about their own ideas, I think... they should be moved."
"After all, seven people have more power in their hands and more stable when they have the power of the empire, far less than six people.
When he heard this, Magus suddenly became excited. His body kept bounced on the hospital bed, his upper and lower lips tightly closed together, and his arms were also bounced stiffly and waving.
Kubar did not call the doctor as panickedly as last time, but was observing calmly and carefully. He felt a little reluctant when he looked at Magus who was struggling, and his brain was about to boil.
Suddenly, a wisp of blue smoke rose from the top of his head, and his brain became mature, "You mean, can't let them do this?"
This sentence seemed to have great magic. Magus stopped immediately and lay quietly on the bed, with the tight muscles on his face relaxed a little.
Seeing this, Kubar suddenly stood up and walked several steps back and forth. Magus was able to express "yes" and "no" which meant that he could already handle some things. No matter what his current situation was, as long as he was still alive, no one dared to disobey him, even the eldest prince.
Even... two generations of emperors!
With such thoughts, Kubar almost called the others excitedly, but soon he calmed down again. It would be no harm to do so.
This also means that if Magus cannot recover, then that position will remain hanging in the air. Even if Magus recovers in the future, they will also leave that position hanging in the air.
Habits are a very powerful force. People are used to the absence of people on that chair. Even Magus, whose influence has declined to its limit due to illness many years ago, could not change the ideas of these people.
The only thing you should do is to choose someone to sit on it as soon as possible and occupy that position!
He looked at Magus and said softly, "I know it's painful to do this, but we face some difficult choices. Even if we prevent those people from invading your position and power, the longer you are here, the less they care."
"Until the end, you're like those loots hanging in the room, just a symbol, and they won't let you get back there."
"Now, what we need to do is find out your successor, take that position first, and then think about what's next, what do you think?"
"If you agree, you keep calm. If you disagree, do some action to let me know..."
After saying that, Kubar raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "You have five minutes to think about it. If you don't object in five minutes, then I'll just treat this one as you agree."
Five minutes passed quickly, and when everyone felt it, it had already missed more than half a minute.
"Very good, I understand what you think, old man, I know we think the same thing, so do you have any good suggestions for this person?" Kubar finally smiled for the first time a few days after Magus was attacked. He shrugged easily, "Let me guess, how about Dulin? Last time we said we were going to introduce him to the parliament."
Although Magus's ability to act was limited, his ability to think was not affected. When he heard Kubar's name put forward, his first reaction was to refuse.
This young man has great ambitions and is very savvy and vicious. It is not a good thing to introduce him to the top of the parliament too early.
This allowed him to learn more about the rulers and the true face of this empire. Before he learned to be awe and respect, the first thing he thought of was to be presumptuous!
Originally, Magus planned to introduce Dulin to the top council when he was thirty-five to forty. After about ten years, it was enough to smooth out his sharp edges and make him more mature and restrained.
That kind of Dulin is a "perfect" Dulin, not a defective product like this.
But he stopped moving again, because he suddenly remembered that those people were about to kick him out!!
Yes, friends and enemies who have been in conflict with each other for so many years have finally found a suitable opportunity to reduce their staff. They want to join forces to kick out the largest player, Magus, who was also the former dealer.
These people are even more shameless than old love. So why not let Du Lin fight with them?
This will allow Dulin to grow up more quickly. Once he grows up when he is young, there will be few people in this empire that can firmly suppress him and he will lose control!
This is something Magus has been avoiding, but at the same time there is something to face, that is the ambition that is so rich that it makes people choke when they escape.
He concealed it very well, but he couldn't fool Magus. He knew too well what was hidden behind the young man's obedient eyes.
Do you want to bet once?
He asked himself if he wanted to bet this time, and he bet that Dulin could compete with them.
Just bet that Magus could get lucky and unexpectedly get better through that hormonal hormone.
Just bet Du Lin can understand what the country is the core of society and not do things that cannot be done!
Margus, who rarely gambles on political choices, he hesitates. He does not refuse as decisively as in the past, but is considering it seriously.
Perhaps the experience during this period made his mentality a little unbalanced and his emotions a little out of control. The words Kubar said aggravated his emotional ups and downs, and gradually made his rationality lose some.
He was thinking, seriously, and then remained silent, although he could not say anything at all.
Kubar looked at his watch. Five minutes later, he looked up at Magus, his face relaxed a little more than before, "Thank God, this makes me feel much better. At least I have a helper, and I will initiate the call as soon as possible. Will you go with us then?"
"I can't wait to see the surprised expressions of those idiots. We're going to stuff their plans back into their beeps and let them go to hell!"
Magus's eyes, like a dead fish, stared at the ceiling, as calm as ever!
