Chapter 1122: The Only Way for Life to Evolve
"Interesting! Kirwin actually wanted to put aside his old suspicions and join forces with me. ”
When she got the letter, Vilia had a rare look of surprise on her face.
She couldn't believe that the tyrant who had spied on her beauty and wanted to possess her could judge the situation and find an opportunity to profit from the complicated situation.
Especially as the news of Kerrwin's engagement to the princess spreads, he already has an excuse to legally acquire more land.
To be precise, if something happens to the aging Harrison the Great, the vast territory he has conquered will suddenly collapse and fall into an internal power struggle.
Countless ambitious princes and princesses will take advantage of this to win over the outside, and even collude with foreign forces, even if they sell the interests of their own country, they must ascend to the throne first.
As the so-called cubs sell their fields, they don't feel distressed, and they haven't experienced the so-called pre-dawn dark era, and they don't understand what kind of humiliation their father endured at the beginning, and finally went crazy to become the most outstanding monarch in hundreds of years.
In the eyes of these princes and princesses, their father is a cold machine, a cold-blooded animal willing to do anything for the sake of power, and there is no family affection at all.
Since he is like this to his father, he naturally does not have a good impression of the huge territory he has laid down.
A very small number of guys who are full of hatred in their hearts even want to destroy the entire country with their own hands, just to make their father feel pain and despair before he dies.
It has to be said that as a monarch, Harrison's life was successful, but as a father, he failed to the extreme.
Appreciating the humility revealed between the lines of the letter, Vilia finally couldn't hold back her laughter, and joked while laughing: "Since he is so sincere, let's work together for a while." But this time, I have to take the lead. ”
"Hehe, when Kirwin heard this, he must have gone crazy with anger. Isolt walked in from the outside at some point, and there was undisguised schadenfreude in her tone.
No one likes to yell at a tyrant, especially a self-righteous tyrant.
Now, the tyrant has fallen from a high position, and even has to write letters to his enemies in a slightly begging tone, which is interesting just to think about.
"What do you think he would do?" asked Vilia, looking up with interest.
"It's easy! An assassin skilled in stealth, a bottle of poison that can put a person into a coma. You don't understand, Harrison's prestige is so high that none of his sons and daughters can be recognized by all the vassals. Coupled with the fact that he has consciously let his children fight each other over the years in order to select the best heirs from among them, it has directly led to a large number of supporters who have a little ability. They either have power, money, or control of the military. Perhaps there would not be any major danger while Harrison was alive and awake, but if he had lost consciousness at all, a war would have quickly swept half the continent. Isolt playfully uttered her guess.
It is already well-known common sense that the fall of a political strongman will inevitably be accompanied by violent social upheaval and even trigger a large-scale war.
Especially in the feudal system, which relied on personal charm and prestige to control power, a powerful king died suddenly, and his heirs would 100% fight each other for the throne until the final winner was decided, or the country would be divided and destroyed by external interference.
Isolt had read a lot of books on politics and history, so she was well aware of the weaknesses of the so-called "Lion of Oros".
Unfortunately, most people were so impressed by the powerful Emperor's methods that they ignored that he was only a mortal, and that mortal beings had weaknesses, and fatal weaknesses.
"So, Kirwyn would send assassins to poison them for ulterior purposes?" Vilia narrowed her eyes, as if she was planning something.
But Isolt smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, don't waste your efforts." It's impossible if you want to grab his handle. Someone like him, once they decide to use underweight means, will never leave any clues. Instead of working on this, it is better to take the opportunity to get in touch with his fiancée. ”
"Fiancée?!" Vilia was visibly aware of something, and there was a gleam in her eyes.
As far as I know, Her Royal Highness, a young and beautiful princess, seems to be full of resentment about marrying an old and ugly tyrant. If we can preemptively reach a series of agreements with her, then we can reap the most out of this upheaval, and in the process sabotage Kirwin's plans. Isolt suggested bluntly.
"Not bad idea, we should make a good sum up and let that traitor do his work for nothing. ”
With that, Vilia quickly gathered his most trusted men and began to discuss the feasibility of the whole plan, and how to make one last of the last cuts for Kwyn.
......
At the same time, far away on the top floor of the Magic Tower, Zhang Cheng had already noticed the open and secret battle between his two war agents through the magic mirror, and couldn't help but smile and sigh: "Sure enough, competition and killing are the only way for life to evolve." Look at these two wretched creatures, one of them was just a small country nobleman not long ago, and the other was an ignorant princess who only knew how to make love every day, and enjoyed the flattery and flattery of young men. But now, they are actually skillful in playing with intrigues, and they all want to gain the upper hand in this duel. ”
"Master, are you sure you just let them mess around?" Allens frowned, his face strongly dissatisfied.
"Why not?" Zhang Cheng spread his hands indifferently. "Don't you think that in the process of competition, both of them have made great progress? Remember, never let your men be too comfortable, this time they will grow their laziness, and let them feel that they are the only and irreplaceable, or it will not be long before you will have to kill them and replace them with a new one. Desires can never be satisfied, what you have to do is to learn to control them, to restrain them from growing with intimidation, violence and death. ”
Allens nodded as if he didn't understand: "So your method is to create contradictions, let two of your subordinates fight in one field, and ensure that they can never become the only one." ”
"That's true in theory, but it's a little bit more complicated to do. For example, you have to balance the forces between the two so that they don't fall apart too far. Especially when selecting people, we must pay attention to the qualifications not too bad, otherwise the situation will soon become unbalanced. Forget it, you'd better do it yourself, it won't take long to understand. Now, go out for me and watch that woman's every move. ”
"As you wish......"
