Chapter nine(2/3)
Although the methods adopted by the heirs of Sethborg were beyond the reach of others, perhaps they did not have the only way to deal with it.
Marquis Keane once spent a lot of effort on research on Serthborg.
He had roughly figured out what kind of person the heir and the guardian Lord Hyde behind him were.
Conspiracy was originally their specialty. Earl Robert was defeated so badly that it even implicated the entire family. From this point of view, we can see how well Serceberg mastered the skills of conspiracy and methods.
"Earl Medin, your Majesty asked you what you thought just now, you have not answered yet. I believe you must have a unique opinion." Marquis Keane said.
"Marquis Marquis, the method that Count Medin can take is something we ordinary people must not be able to perform." The man who has been quarreling the most fiercely interrupted.
"Mr. Earl, I know that on the list of candidates for directors of the Presbyterian Secretariat, you are among the top but not the first candidate. Your excessive enthusiasm may not necessarily make your ranking higher." Marquis Keane said coldly.
Marquis Keane is not a person who likes to reveal his true feelings. He would say this, which obviously proves that he is extremely angry.
It is quite stupid to make Marquis Keane, a good man, angry. Marquis Keane has a very high prestige and a very popular reputation. Although he is on the side of His Majesty the King, there are many people in the Elder's House who have close personal relationships with him. In addition, there are many veteran figures who are close friends with him.
The man shrank back in a mess. Marquis Keane was not the person he could offend.
"Earl Medin, please tell me your opinion." Marquis Keane said.
Seeing Marquis Keane's sincere expression, Rebow hesitated for a while.
The riots in the capital were indeed unfavorable to them. Before that, Ribo and Eckert had also discussed how to stabilize the situation.
As Marquis Keane speculated, they, who were good at conspiracy, did find several solutions.
After cleaning up his thoughts, Ruibo said: "Mr. Marquis, although I have thought of some solutions, these methods are somewhat unpretentious."
"Earl Medin, please continue to talk. The philosopher Conn said that wisdom is not divided into high or low," said Marquis Keen.
"Marquis, I would like to ask you, what is the role of the Legal Affairs Office?" Ruibo did not answer, but asked back.
Marquis Keane was puzzled and replied:
"Earl Medin, I don't know what you are referring to, but I think the most important responsibility of the Political Department is to maintain order in the capital."
"Sir, you are right. If there is no Law and Political Department, or the Law and Political Department cannot perform its duties, what will happen in the capital?" asked Ruibo.
Marquis Keane seemed to have understood what Ribo meant, and he said: "Without the Law and Political Department, there will be chaos in the capital."
"Without a law and political bureau, there will be thieves in the capital, bandits will rampantly, and robbery will become a behavior in broad daylight, and people will corpse on the streets every day." Ruibo said coldly.
"The thieves in the capital must not be so rampant. Mr. Rabel has indeed made great contributions in this matter." Another person interrupted.
"Hey, if we want to calm the public anger, we must let them know how serious it would be without the Law and Political Department. I think in this case, someone must play the role of a sabotage." Ruibo said calmly.
"A terrible strategy, I'm afraid only the devil would think of such a sinister strategy." A cabinet minister said pretending to behave.
Ruibo glanced at the man and said coldly:
"This is indeed a strategy that only the devil can think of, but this method is not what I thought of. The original inventor was Count Robert. I believe everyone still remembers his collusion with pirates. I even remember that it was you who highly recommend Count Robert to be the imperial envoy, right?"
Rebeau's reply made the big man feel like a thorn in his throat. He secretly looked at the people in the Elder's House. In that incident, several of the bosses in the Elder's House suffered heavy losses. Count Robert died and his family was also implicated, but the huge losses were difficult to recover. Because of this, they were full of resentment towards everyone who once recommended Count Robert.
"Earl Medin, as you said, this stupid idea was made by the idiot Robert. If we use the idiot strategy, wouldn't we become idiots? What's more, everyone here knows the terrible consequences of that strategy ultimately..." another person asked, but he didn't seem to make trouble on purpose.
"The reason why Count Robert failed was because he betrayed His Majesty the King and you all, and he was unable to control the pirates tightly."
"If His Majesty and you all knew his plan in advance and he successfully controlled the situation, the result would probably be completely different."
"It is precisely because of this that I am here to tell you the strategy that the devil has come up with, and Mr. Rabel should be confident enough to control the situation." Ribo said.
"But what if someone sees this through? Someone is inciting behind the scenes, and this possibility is quite high. Once the civilians know that the thieves are acting according to our intentions, we may face greater riots." The man said.
Hearing this sentence, everyone nodded, obviously they thought so.
Ruibo shook his head disapprovingly and said in a cold tone:
"Didn't I just say it? The result of thieves will be that someone will trample on the street."
Ruibo's words made everyone gasp. Everyone here was smart, so he no longer needed to explain further.
"Since someone incites behind the scenes, we can also create false news and incite others to treat those who are incited as enemies. It is probably not difficult. At that time, all kinds of chaotic news are flying everywhere. Who would easily believe these rumors? As for those who promote unfavorable rumors, one or two corpses on the streets will not only reduce the source of unfavorable rumors, but also play a shocking role."
Ruibo still said in an understatement, as if he was not talking about life.
Ruibo's words made everyone's face discolored.
"I don't agree with this suggestion. This is the devil's strategy. Earl Robert is the best role model. Those who dance with the devil will be swallowed by the devil." The man who has been singing on stage couldn't help but shout.
When everyone heard someone speak, they started to talk. At first, they still spoke softly, but later the calls for condemnation gradually became louder.
Seeing the situation, there was signs of some out of control, Ruibo snorted coldly and said lightly: "This strategy has another advantage. Since it is called a conspiracy, it should naturally be implemented secretly. Although you already know everything, this is no different from not knowing at all. You will not know whether the strategy will be implemented and when it will be implemented."
"But one thing is certain that national interests are above everything else, and it may not be a civilian on the street, but a prominent family. This will be more convincing. Anything can happen in a chaotic situation, right?"
These words were like the cold wind of winter blew into the tent, and everyone felt a hint of chill. Ruibo's words seemed to release a demon from the Nine Nether Abyss, making everyone feel uncontrollable fear.
Everyone finally understood why Count Robert had such a tragic ending. There was no doubt that this arrogant man who borrowed power and wisdom from the devil finally fell into the hands of the real devil.
Compared with the boy in front of him, Robert was just a clown who liked to be silenced.
As Ribo said, even though His Majesty the King did not dare to object to the opinions of the people in public and insisted on implementing this strategy, it was difficult to guarantee that he was not behind his back and ordered Rabel to implement it according to the strategy.
At that time, the chaotic capital was undoubtedly completely in the hands of His Majesty the King.
Although the king's authority could not order the Elders' House to completely surrender, and even he might not be able to control the cabinet, when the capital became extremely chaotic, at that time, the power in the hands of the loyal dog Rabel was enough to completely destroy any prominent family.
Neither the Elders' House nor the Cabinet will do nothing about this.
And by that time, the first ones to suffer would probably be the families that had the most fierce opposition.
As soon as everyone thinks of this, they feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
...
The meeting ended in silence. Although as usual, no decision was made, His Majesty the King and the officials of the Legal Affairs Bureau turned aside their usual decadent and frustrated expressions, while the other ministers were silent and no longer had the courage to face each other.
When he returned to the tent, the king couldn't wait to gather all his confidant officials together.
He can't wait to issue an order.
Most of His Majesty's confidants were happy, and the only people who showed a look of worry were the court advisers Marquis Keane and Rabel.
"Marte Keen, we all know that with your noble character, we certainly do not agree with the Earl Medin's plan, but please understand your Majesty's difficulties. In my opinion, this is the only way to get us out of our current predicament." The Director of Law and Political Affairs said with a smile on his face.
Marquis Keane shook his head in a heavy mood. Of course he understood the meaning of the Director of Law and Political Affairs: "Hi, have you ever thought that the heir of Sethborough had already unknowingly made His Majesty bear a terrible crime. It was a terrible strategy and a terrible wisdom."
"Marquis Keane, did he bear a more terrible crime when he spoke this strategy? I believe that everyone now treats him and the guardian who has cultivated him as a devil." The Inspector General interrupted.
"The heirs of Serthburgh do not care about this matter. Reputation and criticism are not important to him at all. Haven't you seen this matter?" Marquis Keane said worriedly.
"For Serthburg, they did not want to obey and please His Majesty. All they wanted was a deal that was beneficial to them. I think that now their goal has been achieved. At least, I will never act rashly and I will never throw my ideas on Serthburg. Just as the heir gave you the impression, it was a place where the devil was entrenched, and no one could do anything to the use and mastery of conspiracy."
"However, although no one likes to get close to the evil devil, there are too many people who are willing to trade with them throughout the ages. Those southerners are as full of evil wisdom as devils, and like the devil, they have countless wealth."
"As far as I know, there are not a few people who want to trade with those southerners. Here are a few gentlemen who plan so, and I am not wrong." Marquis Keane said with a glance at the Director of Law and the Director of Inspectorate.
The Director of Law and Political Department twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and he turned his head to ask Rabel, "Are you worried about this?"
Rabel was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his boss was talking to him. He hesitated for a while and said, "Earl Medin's strategy is indeed quite clever, but it also pushes our relationship with the Elder House to a state of breaking. I have an unknown premonition that something will happen. In this case, the position of the southerners becomes important. As Lord Keen said, many people will seek the help of the devil at this time, and they may even trade with the devil at all costs."
Speaking of this, he looked at His Majesty the King and continued, "We cannot guarantee that the devil will not stand on the side of our enemies. The devil's intentions have always been difficult to guess. What if they are enemies of us?"
"Then let's take the lead. You don't mean to want Serthburg to be your enemy. Now it's proven that it's impossible to be tough with those southerners, and it's extremely dangerous. No one knows what the consequences will be. Don't forget that a Robert and a magician had died before. Robert was not only dead, but also ruined his reputation and even implicated the entire family. The magician was burned to death in front of us. To be honest, I don't have the courage to be an enemy of the devil." The Director of the Law and Political Department shook his head and said.
"It is probably not that simple to deal with the devil. It is a very difficult thing for us to keep them in the capital today. It is better to let them return to the south, which will benefit both of us." Rabel finally expressed his thoughts.
Only Marquis Keen and His Majesty the King nodded, while the others were completely indifferent. For the Director of Law, he still hoped to trade with the Southerners. He could have one million gold coins a year, and such opportunities would probably not be many times in his life.
For this unimaginable huge wealth, it has nothing to do even if it is a deal with the devil.
...
When the winter hunting began, Ribo then realized that Frank had so many high-ranking nobles.
Those who are eligible to accept the invitation of the palace and attend the hunting ceremony are at least an earl.
Only a few viscounts are among them, but they are all very special figures like Rabel.
Although Ruibo had already known that there were many nobles in the capital with the earl status as a noble, Ruibo was still shocked when the wide forest square was full of high-end nobles wearing dresses.
The desolate lawn in winter is covered with thick red carpets, just like a festival. Everyone wears the most luxurious dresses, wrapped in precious animal fur on the outside.
The ladies are all standing in the outer circle, and they are not the protagonists of today's grand event.
Hunting has always been a game for men, and ladies are invited, but they are just used as an embellishment.
The palace guards stood around wearing straight red military dresses.
The golden epaulettes are dotted with tassels woven from golden silk, and the tassels are swaying in the back.
They looked extremely energetic with blue belts on their bodies, and they were wearing golden helmets on their heads, shining brightly under the sunlight.
In the downwind, rows of palace servants standing neatly with horses.
These servants were carrying hunting crossbows and quiveres filled with arrows.
However, most crossbows are just showing off. In such a chaotic occasion, we must prevent others from assassinating His Majesty the King.
What's more, the protagonist of winter hunting is His Majesty the King after all. If the first person holds real crossbow arrows, that little prey is not enough to hunt.
Standing outside the attendant were soldiers wearing thick combat armor, all of whom were surrounded by them within a radius of more than ten miles.
