Volume 3: The Vortex of Strife Chapter 176: The Parable of the Classroom (I)
Of course, Fan didn't tell Avi what he had discovered, but he could see Avi's thoughts, "Do you want to use the 'cat nest'?"
"Ahh I... There are indeed some things that I would like to investigate. ”
"It seems that it is inconvenient for me to know," Big-Nosed Fan patted Avi's shoulder, "Then you think about it first, although I brought you into the 'cat nest', but if you don't have my company, you still don't want to go in alone, after all, there are a lot of people there, and I haven't found out who the other person who is investigating you is." ”
"It's understandable that Fenrir spent money to investigate my affairs, after all, my status is so low, but I am mixed with all kinds of troubles, maybe the eldest prince will really be suspicious of me..."
Fan shook his head, "You won't be remembered by the eldest prince at all, right... Anyway, you have to remember that only me, you, and Koth know about our past, and we shouldn't make those things public in this new place. And the 'cat's nest' is not a place to be trusted, it is a place to make money, and it is also a place where intelligence flows out, everything is just profit-oriented. ”
The next day, during class, Avi began to pay more attention to Sylanes who was sleeping on the desk, and the mystery of the other party became stronger and stronger. Is this 20-year-old senior really the "cat" who received 10,000 gold coins in the "cat nest" last night?
"You have to focus on the textbooks! Now you're talking about the history of the division of the Old Kingdom! This is definitely the point of the exam!" Rost, who was standing on the podium, was staring at the distracted Avi, who immediately picked up the textbook and stopped peeking at Celenos.
Just as Avi was listening attentively again, the head of the house, Dugol, came to the door of the fourth class classroom, followed by some people.
"All students, please be quiet, Prince Amsoil has come to our institute to review everyone's learning!"
Silanos, who was lying on the table, also raised his head and looked at the second prince Ansu, who had walked to the podium, and the head of the house, Dugore, and the history teacher, Rost, were very respectful to him.
"Hello students, I know that the students of Class 4 are not noble people, I am the same as you, because I am only a prince, but I will not give up on myself because of my background, I believe that you will also succeed in your studies in the future and make your own contribution to the future of the Kingdom of Salins!" The second prince Ansu stood on the podium and lectured to the students in the audience, he was about the same age as most of the students, but his temperament and demeanor were not comparable to the civilian students in the audience, and even Avi could feel the kind of leadership temperament in Ansoo.
This temperament is completely different from that of the eldest prince Bradley, and the image of Ansoil is more of a typical aristocratic person, he is eloquent, clear-minded, and able to speak every sentence appropriately, and at the same time can touch the hearts of his listeners. The eldest prince Bradley is concise and to the point, and his words are simple but give people a sense of reassurance.
"You also have to study hard to learn! In the future, you will help the second prince make more achievements in internal affairs! You see that in the past few years, Mallot's agriculture, commerce, and even public security have become better, and this is all thanks to..."
It was only after the head of the academy and the second prince had left that Rost returned to the podium, and he began to hint at something through the history of the fall of the old kingdom, "The fall of the old kingdom has a very important relationship with the weakness of the royal heirs, and if a kingdom has only one heir, and that heir is still weak and mediocre, then the kingdom can easily be coveted by other powerful and powerful people." If you are the rulers of this kingdom, how can you help your kingdom?"
One of the students raised his hand and replied, "That is, of course, to increase the number of heirs, to select the best among the heirs, and to ensure that loyal vassals will be at his side to assist them, so as to ensure the continuation of the kingdom." ”
The other students nodded their heads as well.
"Yes, this is a very good way, but if the situation is just the other way around, there are many heirs of the royal family, and each of them has very good talents, and they are surrounded by countless important ministers with both ability and integrity, then what should be done?"
At this time, Avi had already realized that what Rost was alluding to was the current heir situation of the Kingdom of Salins, and he believed that many of the students present also felt the meaning of Rosst's words. The slightly smarter students immediately whispered, and no one dared to answer Rost's suggestive question.
Joan took the initiative to stand up and said, "Referring to the fact that the old kingdom has fallen, the absence of a strong successor will inevitably lead to chaos and defeat of the country, and the country will fall into the hands of non-royal people. So I think it is important to choose the sole successor under the supervision of the current ruler with the most stringent selection criteria, and then use the right control to place other potential heirs in the right place. ”
Ioann's henchmen immediately applauded, which did not sound like a problem, but it was obviously inappropriate in the context of the Kingdom of Salins, because everyone knew that King Byron was a hesitant ruler, otherwise the next successor of the kingdom would not have been determined until now. Avi thought of the other smart classmates who thought of him, and they all looked at Rost with expectant eyes, waiting for the history teacher's answer.
Joan's answer was of a very leadership level, and there have been some decisive and wise rulers in history who have done so, and the results were not all satisfactory, but it was clearly a good choice. ”
When John heard this, he looked around triumphantly, especially at Avi and Silaneus, who was glared at, yawned lazily, as if he didn't care about any solution.
"For example, in the northern kingdom of Kosai, two royal heirs can coexist peacefully, one has become the king to control the interior, and the other has become a general to lead the army, and the two brothers have not had conflicts because of the issue of heirs, so it is beneficial for the entire royal family to have multiple excellent heirs, and only need to make appropriate arrangements and deal with them. Joan opened his arms and began to say whatever came to mind, and his followers all nodded in agreement.
"If I were Jack, Adam's throne would be out of place a long time ago," Celenos suddenly said in a cold tone, like an ice pick, "And if I were Adam, Jack wouldn't have so much power, but the reality is... Jack is an honest idiot, and Adam is a weak sick man, and the two just coexist enough to support some people's opinions. ”
Joan immediately turned around, stared at Celenos and said, "Who are some of the people you are talking about?!"
"Some idiot who doesn't even know himself..."
The henchmen of Joan also immediately stood up, and accused Siranos of being unscrupulous and rude, "Since you think that what I am saying is idiotic, then you can say your answer, and don't be cynical there." ”
The other students also looked at Sylanenos, this rebellious blue-haired man had long been known for the Kestrel Academy, and the reason for his repetition had long been known, and the classmates had long wanted to see the skills of Sylanenos, whom the teachers loved and hated.
Celenos stretched and left Joan and the rest of his henchmen there. Rost looked at Celenos with a smile, and there was a hint of anticipation in that smile, and Avi, who noticed Rost's expression, also wanted to hear Celenos' unique insight.
Celenos suddenly walked out and gave Joan a resounding slap in the face!
Joan covered his face, completely unaware of what the other party was doing. When Sylanes raised his other hand and waved it at the other side of Joan's face, all the students just stared dumbfounded, but Sylanenos's hand stopped in front of Joan's other side of the face and walked straight back to his seat.
The loud slap was followed by a full half minute of silence, until Joan reacted, "You! you hit me?!" He immediately looked back at Rost, waiting for Rost to deal with it.
Rost: "Silanenos... You did that to Joan..."
"Don't you understand?" said Silanos, leaning his head against his crossed palms and closing his eyes, "If I had used a knife instead of a slap, you 'heirs' would have waited for Rost, the 'ruler' of this class, to deal with it, right?"
Avi looked at Yoan, who was still in a state of confusion, and the other party was obviously blinded by this sudden slap.
"In other words, Sylanenos is showing us an analogy! His answer is this?!" a female student looked like she had realized some truth.
"It's not my answer, but it's a metaphor," the chair under Syrannos's ass was now supported by only two feet, and the sound of the chair swaying reached Avi's ears, "My answer is that the 'perfect law' and the 'reasonable solution' you think of are just unrealistic dreams, and they don't apply to Roster's problem at all, after all, Rost is using our kingdom of Sahlins as the background premise of the problem..."
Rost had already put away his smile, and everyone didn't expect that Silanos would directly pick out Rost's hint!
"If there are only five people in our classroom, except for two insignificant female students, only Avi and I, and Joan, then this analogy is just right in line with the current situation in the Kingdom of Salins," Avi opened his mouth wide, and he was actually compared to a prince!" "If there is a successor to choose from these five, and the choice is on Rost, then the most effective way for me is obviously to kill the others, so that Rost can only choose me- Ideally, the current ruler would choose the most suitable person to be the successor, but if the current ruler is unable to do so, the truly capable person should realize this and act decisively. ”
