Chapter 288: Big Fish (ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription) Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, and ask for a recommendation by the way
There are only so many council seats in Aylward City, and how many nobles are there in the entire Aylward area? Even if there are not three thousand, how can it be two thousand. So naturally, some people benefit, and some people have to watch.
And there are always a lot of people watching, and that can't be changed.
Now what the princess is doing is to use the majority to suppress their original handful, how do you say those nobles who have not received benefits will choose? Of course, it is impossible for the princess to satisfy everyone, but as long as the princess throws this bait, she is really not afraid that no one will not take the bait.
No, those nobles who have been praised and hinted at by the princess are all like anything, and they are all ready to behave in front of the princess, and strive to seek some benefits for their family.
As for the previous parliamentarians, who cares? Who told them to poke such a big basket, so that Her Royal Highness the princess has been completely disappointed, since this is the case, it is also their own fault, those nobles who were originally irrelevant, they didn't bother to care.
Now the original nobles with vested interests are now dumbfounded, they have always thought that the princess can't do anything to them, and the kingdom still depends on them to stabilize Aylward City.
But now? The princess has already told them with practical actions that there are nobles who want to be officials. Kick you out of the way, and somebody is on top of you, and you're nothing. At this time, those people panicked and immediately began various activities to try to reverse the current situation.
The best way, of course, is to get the princess to take back her fate.
But the princess didn't see them at all, how could she persuade the princess to take back her life? I didn't see that even Clifford's weighty old minister was scolded by the princess, and then rushed home to ask him to retire in peace, not to mention others.
Of course, there is another way, which is to run to make trouble for the princess, make a mess of Aylward City, and let the princess know who is the real master of Aylward City, and the princess will never let Aylward City go into chaos, and then the princess can only give in?
However, it was a good idea, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that it will not work. As soon as the princess came, she took the garrison and the security team, and now these two violent organs only listen to the princess, and all the chess pieces they originally planted in these two places have been removed.
The garrison regiment is okay, but it was just fired, and the security team is miserable, the three captains were all killed, and the little brothers at the bottom are not to mention the dead, and the rest are scared enough, and now they are trembling in prison.
Now, wreaking havoc in the city? Isn't that the same as looking for death? The princess has two violent mechanisms in her hands, and she will know who is doing the ghost when she checks it, so it will not be as simple as throwing it into the position, and if she can't do it, she will lose her life directly.
So this solution is no longer possible, and now they are at a loss, so they can only go to Clifford for advice.
"The princess is playing so beautifully, I underestimate her."
Although Clifford was beaten by the princess and made him disgraced, he was highly respected, and no one in Aylward City dared to underestimate him, so many nobles gathered here, hoping that he could turn things around.
"Lord Clifford, now is not the time to sigh about this, the princess now makes it clear that she wants us all to get out! We're at fault in this matter, but we've also contributed to the prosperity of Aylward City, and it's chilling that she can't just kick us out. ”
Now these people are like ants on a hot pot, jumping in a hurry, how can they have time to care about this, they feel that the princess is better to be mediocre, the less capable the better. Now the princess is powerful, but they are also stupid, and they can only watch themselves being kicked away.
Clifford doesn't really know what to do now, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, what can he do, the princess is playing too beautifully, holding the gun in one hand and the official hat in the other, what do you want him to do?
"Do you want to tell those people to stop messing around with the princess? You see, you're the only one who has that face. Before Clifford could speak, someone came up with an idea.
The "people" they are talking about are the nobles who were recruited by the princess, in fact, these people who just spoke have not looked for those nobles who have fallen to the princess.
But it's useless, it's useless to threaten and lure, to say good things and reason. Now they can only hope for Clifford's prestige, hoping that his face will suppress the group.
But Clifford felt that it was useless to do this, but he still had to do it, there was no way, this matter involved too many people, if he didn't come out, someone else would spit on him when he went out tomorrow, who called him the boss.
********
At the end of the day, I almost tossed Clifford's old bones apart, but I still didn't gain anything. The old man said everything dry, but still few people were obedient.
The old man had already guessed a little bit of this situation, but when the facts were laid out in front of him, he still couldn't accept it. I think he has been in Aylward City all his life, saying what is what, but today he can be regarded as seeing what the world is called hot and cold.
Those people didn't take what he said seriously at all, and some of them were submissive on the surface, but as soon as they turned their faces, they gave their knights and private soldiers to the princess, and didn't save Clifford face at all.
In the face of interests, everything is false, don't talk about any friendship, besides, those nobles who are excluded from the circle of power, really have some true friendship with the Montes family? If you really have a friendship, you won't be excluded.
Therefore, now that the sky is about to change, it is really too late to talk about friendship.
Don't look at the Mendes family used to be the boss, that is, everyone has no choice, the short man pulls out the general, even if they want to resist, they don't have the strength. Now the princess gives everyone another choice, to go directly to her, and the future is much stronger than following the Montes family.
Can the Montes family be compared to a princess? Defect to the princess, and the princess will take the throne in the future, so they can also follow the soaring prosperity. But what do they get by messing with the Montesian family? The great thing is to continue to follow the Mendes family to pick up food to eat.
Why can't they replace the Montes? The name of the first family in Aylward City, it seems that they can also sit down?
**********
While those nobles were messing around, the people of the security team were not without harvest these days, and they quickly got some clues.
"Are you sure?" Bauer looked at the team members in front of him with a shocked face, he couldn't believe that he had really caught a big fish by following the clues!
"That's right, captain, we have carefully checked countless times in the past few days, and we have sent people to monitor for a few days, and all kinds of clues show that it is definitely him, and he can't escape!" What the team member said was categorical! The haggard face is also full of affirmation!
"Whew, yes, yes, yes!" The shock on Bauer's face slowly receded, replaced by a face full of determination.
"You keep watching, no, I have to send someone to watch again! In this way, all the members of my direct team will be handed over to you, and you must keep him to death for me! Also, pay attention to secrecy, and keep an eye on your subordinates, don't let them leak the news, I'll go see Her Royal Highness right now! As soon as the order arrives, start to arrest people directly! ”
After saying that, he got up and went to get his coat, and saw that he could not wait to see the princess.
"Wait, Captain, is this really appropriate? After all, he's ......"
"Who is he, do I need you to remind him? But so what? Now the princess is the greatest! ”
"No, captain, I'm afraid, princess when the time comes...... You know, we'll be the ones who are unlucky! ”
"Alas...... I know what you mean, but it's our duty! No matter what the princess does, we have a clear conscience anyway! As for whether it's good or bad, I can't control it, don't worry, even if I resist something, I don't believe it, and there will really be no rules in this world! ”
That's who Ball is, he's always so conformist, but whenever it's his area of duty, he does the best he can. Now there are really not many such people, and it is no wonder that he will be hated by the nobles, and he will be easily set aside.
This kind of person is easy to deal with, he doesn't think outside the box, he looks very old-fashioned, and he doesn't like people, for example, he is very unhappy with Soram now, even if Soram does help him, but he still looks at Soram unpleasantly, because Soram is too unruly.
So this kind of person will never be the type that people like, but this kind of character, even if you don't like him anymore, you have to admire him, after all, how many people always adhere to their own principles?
********
"Mathura, how's the preparation going?"
"Young Master is ready, we will send all this group of people away tonight, this is not the first time this kind of thing, what do you have to worry about?"
Mathura is a middle-aged gangster, in Aylward City, this person has always been inconspicuous, not too famous, but people who really understand, know this person, he is a big broker, dare to take any business, is a black and white master.
Those nobles want to do some shady things, they like to look for him, once he does things happily, he can do anything. Second, he is strict-mouthed, no matter who asks him to do things, there will be no rumors outside afterwards.
However, what few people know is that the backstage of Mathura is actually the third young master of the Monters family, Rheint Montes! As the eldest in the family, he is not as favored as the eldest sister, nor is he as valued as the eldest brother and second brother, and his status in the family is like that, and he has no sense of existence.
He also knows his own situation, although the old man has arranged a position for him as a councilor, but it is basically the end, the family puts its strength on his two elder brothers, and his cultivation has not been very good, and if he wants to go further, don't think about it by the family.
Although the Montes family is strong, it is not strong enough that every child can be vigorously cultivated, after all, resources are limited, and the resources here are political resources.
In their family, the eldest is developing in the political arena, the second is developing in the army, and there is an unconscious sister to take care of, and there is no extra strength to take care of him anymore.
Reinte was not convinced by this, he never considered himself worse than others.
