Chapter 185: The Princess' Decision (Part 2)
Angel's appearance in Cork's group was a necessity and anomaly. The same pursuit of interests and the political stance that was bound to the beginning made Angel inevitably board the ship of Cork. She was a new arrival and was a princess in another country, which made the ministers of this group more or less reject her.??????????????????????????????
If it were ordinary people, under the gaze of such powerful generals and ministers, they would probably have been shaking all over and could not say a word.
But Angel is not an ordinary person, this is a woman who grew up in the cruelest and darkest palace of struggle.
Cork collected a lot of information about his fiancée and also knew more or less about her abilities and personality. Although this woman's behavior angered him, this anger only lasted for a while. Cork was a cunning crown prince after all, and he understood that Angel's seemingly "frivolous and reckless" behavior must be a special behavior.
Otherwise, if a woman who has just arrived at the power group dares to laugh contemptuously in front of everyone, she is not stupid, who is stupid?
But if Angel is so stupid, can she survive until now?
Cork took a deep breath, his voice filled with a deep anger: "What do you have? Dear Your Highness Angel?"
Cork spoke very slowly, almost popping out of his teeth one word after another.
Angel had been sitting outside the long table in the conference room. When she saw Cork ask her a name, she stood up immediately, Shi Shiran came to a high-hanging map, smiled at Charde on the side, and stretched out her snow-white palm: "Is that OK?"
Angel's smile was really powerful. When the angry powerful people in this room saw this beautiful smile, their anger dropped in half.
Charde was stunned for a moment. He looked at Angel's beautiful and charming face, and he was suddenly dry and did not dare to look at her, so he handed the whip in his hand out.
Angel took the whip, nodded gracefully to him, carried his skirt, and nodded and smiled at the powerful people who could make Galcia tremble.
Since ancient times, no matter which country in the world or in any country, there are always some women who can only conquer a city when they smile once, and when they smile again, they can only conquer a country!
Men are born to think in the lower body. The strong ** dominate their actions and thinking most of the time, even at this critical moment, the room is no exception. The powerful people in the room looked at Angel, a beautiful and elegant woman, silent and breathing heavily. The anger accumulated just now suddenly disappeared without a trace in Angel's two smiles.
Although Crown Cork is sometimes easily furious by the affairs of Angel and Tang Jie, the quickest thing to calm down is the prince who has been crowned in the palace for decades.
Cork looked at Angel, then looked at the eyes of men in the room, and suddenly a thought arose in his heart: Beauty is in trouble!
It is a good thing for a woman to be beautiful, but if she is too beautiful, it is not necessarily a good thing!
He was thinking about it, Angel stood in front of the map more than two meters high, and suddenly she looked shaking. She raised the whip in her hand and wandered around the power distribution line marked with a red pen on the map of Pound 6: "Gentlemen, you have been discussing just now, which map has surrendered to Fernandez and which place has fallen to us again, right?"
Faced with such nonsense, the powerful people in the room did not arouse much anger and sneer, but someone said lukewarmly: "Your Highness the Princess was laughing at our discussion just now? Why are you still asking us?"
Angel smiled slightly: "Yes, I'm laughing, I'm just laughing at you, you actually regard the awakening of His Majesty the Emperor as a great news..."
"Bastard! You dare to disrespect your Majesty the Emperor!" an elderly noble whispered.
Angel didn't care at all. She glanced at the nobleman and said lightly: "Oh, it's Marquis Hunter, no wonder. When you were twenty years old, you had received the teachings of the court teacher with His Majesty the Emperor. At that time, you were in your prime and were the most beloved person of His Majesty. I was so envious! But now, His Majesty's favor to you is no longer as good as before. How long has it been since you talked to His Majesty the Emperor? I think, if I remember correctly, it should have been seven years, right? Why do you still remember to speak for him?"
Hunter was a little surprised. How could this woman know him so clearly. He stared at Angel tightly with his turbid and dim eyes, but he didn't say anything else.
He didn't say anything, but the people next to him felt that Angel was saying more and more excessively. He did not respect the emperor or the old marquis in front of him. At that moment, a middle-aged man taught Angel a lesson in a deep voice: "Your Princess, is this the etiquette of your Falco Empire?"
Angel turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man talking. She smiled and said, "Ah, it's General Ibodala. I've always heard that you are a brave general. The scar on your face is indeed majestic. I heard that it was a medal left when fighting against the violent orcs of Peking University 6? Ah, it's really admirable! But, what you asked about me just now? Haha, you are really mean, but since I am in the Pond Empire, why do you still deliberately go to the Tifalco Empire?"
Angel said something, and she recognized the powerful people in the room as if she knew it, and was very familiar with their past. She was filled with praise and thorns in her words, and her elegant tone also had a sense of indifference. What made Crown Cork look at him most was that there were some dissatisfaction in the eyes of other nobles, but Angel said the last sentence immediately calmed the other nobles who were eager to try to pick on Angel.
Now everyone is on the same boat, so why are there Falco and Pound?
Angel's eyes flicked and glanced at everyone. Seeing that they stopped talking, he smiled slightly and continued, "I smile, of course there is my reason for me. Since you must think that I am an outsider from the Falco Empire, then I, an outsider with a clear onlooker, will give me some of my opinion."
Angel's horse whip was a little bit on the map, and the landing point was Garcia. He said something that was not surprising and endless: "In my opinion, if His Majesty the Emperor dies now, it would be the real good news!"
Everyone was uproared!
The powerful people in the room immediately started to make a fuss, some shouted loudly, some sneered, and some thoughtful.
Angel looked at the people in the room. She didn't speak, her eyes were sharp and bright, and she swept over everyone's face, as if she was carefully observing each person's different reactions, and then she remembered them deeply in her heart.
Cork was a little surprised at Angel's words just now, but he was an extremely smart person. He quickly understood the role that Angel's words could reflect, and he couldn't help but be amazed and appreciated.
At first, Angel pointed out the most critical point at the moment: His Majesty the Emperor had not held a ceremony to give way to the crown prince Cork for a day, and the situation was unstable every day because the crown prince was appointed by the emperor and he could be abolished at any time. Who said that Kriza XVI would not suddenly abolish Cork for the last few days?
Although the possibility is not high, the most impossible thing to do in political struggle is not to bet on the situation or to be lucky.
Think deeper, what if Fernandez controlled His Majesty the Emperor at this time and asked him to change his mind?
Although this possibility is not great, you must be wary of others! You must expect any unfavorable situation!
Secondly, when Angel said this, he could clearly see the true feelings of the people in the room. Although these people were all old foxes in the palace, and their posture was suspected of being artificial, no matter how they act, sometimes careful observation could always reveal some clues.
Thinking of this, the eyes of Crown Cork at Angel changed immediately. This woman is not simple!
It was not until the crown prince raised his hand and the noisy people in the room were quieter, Angel continued to smile and said, "Gentlemen, your loyalty and patriotism really opened Angel's eyes and admired him. But now, we must see clearly that our life and death are in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, and he will not live long. After he dies, if you find an emperor who has saved our lives, it is not the one sitting in front of us, but another..."
Angel stared at the men in the room one by one, "...what do you do?"
Angel's eyes were terrifyingly sharp. Even these powerful people who were rising and falling in the officialdom unconsciously avoided it for a while and did not dare to look at her.
Silence, this room is silent like a grave.
If Christina, who is familiar with Angel, saw her here, she would definitely feel extremely moved and would not dare to associate the woman in front of her with the woman who was screaming and crying in the arena.
Cork stared at Angel even more intently, thinking in his heart: This woman is so smart, she knows what she wants, and what is even more awesome is that she can always fight and win over what she wants!
In order to save Tang Jie's life, she did not hesitate to find herself to negotiate terms with her. After the fight ended, Tang Jie survived, she immediately joined the power struggle like a different person, fighting for her power and position!
The most important thing is that this woman has something that only a very small number of people have, and can suppress the royal aura!
Angel stared at everyone for a while before she smiled slowly, and the horse whip in her hand once again pointed out on the map: "You are limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place, and always wondered: Once the coup broke out, once the power of both sides started a conflict, how much is the difference between the power balance between the enemy and us... But have you ever thought about why we must drag the war to that time? Why do we solve everything if we are not in Galcia? And we must let the conflict spread to the entire empire?"
"Chi..." Some of the powerful sneered.
Charde next to him said politely: "Dear Your Highness Angel, can you allow me to say a few words?"
Angel nodded to him as if he had expected someone to speak.
Charde owed his body, gave a gift, and said, "My Highness, you have just arrived in Galcia, and you may not know something. His Highness Fernandez has always liked to recruit various powerful people and manage his own power. Under his command, there are countless strong people, including a magician who can use space teleportation. Once his coup fails, he can instantly escape from the imperial capital through space teleportation and go to a place where we don't know where we are."
"What you mean is that no matter whether you win or lose, it is extremely easy and inevitable if Fernandez wants to escape from the imperial capital?" Angel asked back.
Charde sighed, "That's right, my Highness."
"Then aren't we a magician who is proficient in space-time teleportation?" Angel asked, "Let them find the teleportation point through the magic fluctuations in the air, touch it, and wait for them at the teleportation point!"
Charde smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I've tried it a long time ago. The cunning rabbit has three holes, it's useless. Our magician said that there are hundreds of such teleportation points in the empire, and it's impossible to arrange personnel one by one. Moreover, even if Fernandez doesn't use space to teleport, he can choose to go on the sea route. He has a powerful water magician around him, and he can get there in a ten-day trip in one day."
Angel nodded, without a look of frustration on his face: "So, you have been thinking about fighting a long-term battle with him on the front battlefield?"
Charde said helplessly: "Our Emperor is the throne he seized in such a protracted civil war. If possible, who would want to turn the empire into a mess? What's more, Fernandez's power in the imperial capital is no less than us. He is completely possible to win directly in the coup."
"Coup?" Angel smiled, "It's such a good word! But why should we wait for him to take action?"
Charde's face became even more bitter: "We do not have the will of His Majesty the Emperor and the title of righteousness. If we take action first, then the counties affiliated with Fernandez will have an excuse to directly raise an army."
"The title of righteousness..." Angel's smile on his face couldn't tell whether it was a mockery or a sigh, "So, we can only be passively beaten, waiting for Fernandez to take action first, and then we take this title of righteousness and accuse Fernandez of making bad plans and attempting mutiny?"
Charde looked at the room and nodded: "That's it."
Angel smiled and looked at everyone: "Now you understand why I laughed before? Do you have to wait for this righteous name to fall from the sky? If Fernandez has been holding back and not taking action, what should you do? Do you have to endure until the day of the ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor's surrender?"
Cork suddenly said in a deep voice: "If this is not the case, what else can it be done?"
Angel glanced at him, and then said meaningfully: "This is what I just said... If His Majesty the Emperor is really dead now, this is the best news! On the other hand, His Majesty the Emperor is not dead now, but has woken up. This is the worst news!"
The people in the room suddenly had their eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but look at Angel.
There were no stupid people here, and they were fools and couldn't survive. Just when Angel had said these words before, some of them were extremely smart enough to guess what Angel wanted to say. Now Angel pointed it hard again, so everyone reacted.
As long as the emperor is killed, according to the rules, the throne will inevitably be inherited by the crown prince Cork. At that time, the righteousness will be on his side!
Political struggles are often like this. Things like righteousness look like fig leaf, as if they are not important, but with or without it, they are completely two effects. No matter who they are, they are desperately yearning for the commanding heights of morality and want to grab the title of righteousness!
At that moment, some nobles trembled their lips and said, "You mean, you want to... kill..." Before he finished speaking, the person next to him blocked his mouth with his hands.
But the remaining word was not spoken, and everyone knew what it was!
Regret!
These two words are terrible...
They emerged from hell like a devil, making the powerful people here tremble all over!
But more people trembled, and a strange light appeared in their eyes, as if the devil in their hearts had been released.
This idea was not something that no one had thought of, but Kriza XVI was different from his father XVI. Although the fifteenth reigned for a long time, he was generally a mediocre king, while Kriza XVI was different. He had outstanding military achievements and was of great talent for civil and military skills. In his hands, the empire completed several victorious battles against Nanda. The civil and military achievements of the Ponder Empire reached a heyday in his hands.
This emperor is a character who respects gods both in the hearts of the people and in the hearts of the powerful and powerful families.
Just imagine, when Kriza XVI seized the throne, the empire experienced ten years of civil war, the entire empire was almost decayed, and the empire's population almost dropped by half!
But just such a mess, Kriza not only did not let it collapse in his own hands, but also relied on his own powerful strength to make this ancient empire rise again and rejuvenate!
The most unsuccessful thing is that when he rebuilt the empire with his iron-blooded skills, he also withstood the huge pressure from the Kelsman family and supported the Kelsman family's Kelsman Chamber of Commerce and the God of Light.
Among the emperors recorded in the history of the Pound Empire, many emperors were controlled by the Kelsman family and became puppets at the mercy of others. Very few emperors could not be completely controlled by this large family.
And Kriza XVI is one of them!
It is conceivable how powerful such an emperor has accumulated in the hearts of his ministers after decades of rule!
Therefore, even if the idea of regicide arises in the minds of some nobles and powerful people, they will quickly dispel them.
But now, Angel, the "outsider", boldly pointed out such a way out, everyone was moved. Even Cork's face was changing with a pair of eyes staring at Angel.
It is said that this woman is scheming and cruel in her ways. Now she sees that it is indeed not a false news!
The room was very quiet, and Cork's subordinates stared at their crown prince with their eyes, as if waiting for his decision.
Angel lowered his exercise, looking at the ground, and no one could see what she was thinking through her eyes.
Depression, this suffocating depression!
Chapter completed!
