Chapter 186 The new royal power

The relationship between Yu Renliang and Lei Jite is already quite good, so Yu Renliang just exchanged a little greeting with Lei Jite, and he immediately got into the topic.

"Prince Lei Jite, in your opinion, where should the empire go now?"

Lei Jite smiled awkwardly: "Brother-in-law, you should be very clear about the current situation of the empire. You are not an outsider, I have told you the truth. Major forces in the empire are fighting, and in fact they have been dissatisfied with my father for a long time. On the outside, the Holy See has always been dissatisfied with the empire, and I am afraid that a war will inevitably be inevitable."

Yu Renliang said: "The prince is right. The empire is indeed turbulent now, but the situation is not that bad. As you said, now it is indeed a difficult time for internal and external affairs to solve problems at the same time. The royal family needs a time to re-determine the prestige to suppress internal dissatisfaction again. The war that is about to come just now has just given the royal family such an opportunity."

Lei Jite quickly understood what Yu Renliang meant: "You mean that the royal family members should take over other generals to lead a war, but over the years, there have been few such commanding talents among the royal family members. Most of the wars were fought by foreigners like Theodore."

Yu Renliang snorted and said, "It is precisely because of this situation that the prestige of the royal family is lower than that of some great nobles. If I don't turn it around immediately, I won't be able to think about it for long, and the empire will be in chaos immediately."

Lei Jite frowned and his hands trembled slightly. He was thinking about Yu Renliang's words in his mind. It is true. If a war really happens this time, if outsiders are in charge, no matter whether they win or lose, it will actually be an impact on the royal family. If you lose, everyone will blame the royal family for being cowardly and winning. The power and prestige of the great nobles will be further enhanced. Only by letting the royal family lead, and winning must be won, can the internal and external conflicts be alleviated. But now in the royal family,

Who else can lead the army? Should Alexei III be the first to deny this idea. Once this licentious king really goes to the battlefield, it is a question whether he can come back. The emperor cannot personally fight, so he can only choose from his descendants. Lei Jite thought for a long time, and there seemed to be no very suitable candidate among his brothers. In the end, he had to smile bitterly: "Maybe, I should learn the course of commanding the army immediately."

Yu Renliang laughed and said, "Why should the prince do what he is not good at? Even civilians in the empire know that the prince is a good person, but he is not a suitable commander. You are more suitable to coordinate behind the scenes, rather than go directly to kill the enemy. If the prince really wants to command himself, I am bluntly. I think the result must be miserable."

Yu Renliang said it very bluntly, and Lei Jite naturally knew it very clearly: "But, apart from me, I really can't think of a better candidate. Brother-in-law, you have attended several royal banquets. You should be able to see the corruption in the royal family. Can anyone among them fight? I don't even believe it?"

Yu Renliang said: "The prince said it is right. Send an inappropriate person. Once you lose a crushing defeat, the royal family's prestige will be lower. But now there is not a completely suitable candidate."

After the cheerful dance, Yao Xueqi took the initiative to pull Alena to chat behind, and in the front hall, Yu Renliang sat upright and drank with Theodore. The departure of the two women made the atmosphere much quieter, and at the same time, in the silence, it seemed that a murderous aura began to appear.

After Yao Xueqi and Alena came back, her expression of relaxation just now turned into a serious expression. Alena looked at Yao Xueqi and couldn't help but smile and said, "My dear sister, your face has become so fast."

"Sister, I think no matter how fast my face becomes, it will not be more difficult to understand than the great changes in the empire in the future."

Alena snorted and said, "It seems that you couple came to me on their own initiative today, and there was indeed a premeditation."

Yao Xueqi did not deny: "Sister, you can see clearly without me explaining the situation now. The royal family and most of the elders have already handed over the military power to our husband and wife, but only your lover Theodore has been slow to hand over the military power. You must know that Theodore is in charge of most of the country's military power. If he does not cooperate, we and my wife cannot go to the front line."

Alena said with a hey voice: "He is a very opinionated man, and I can't decide his affairs. The only thing I can do now is to use my way to gradually dispel the idea of ​​usurping the throne."

Yao Xueqi smiled and said, "Sister, I'm so blunt. I think you are so naive. When the empire was in a dilemma, we, husband and wife, went on a war on behalf of the royal family. In this case, he dared to openly disobey the order and hand over the military power. Do you think his idea is to be gentle with you all day long?"

Alena stopped saying anything. She obviously knew that what Yao Xueqi said was not an accusation. After the two women were silent for a while, Alena said, "Sister Xueqi, but what can I do? One is my father and the other is my lover. How should I choose?"

Yao Xueqi took Alena's hand and said, "Actually it's not difficult for you to choose. Princess Sister, I'll ask you. Do you just want to watch your man serve the royal family, but don't want to see him being too presumptuous."

"Of course." Alena nodded.

Yao Xueqi immediately said: "Then you should understand that only if a person who makes him afraid is above him can he dare not be presumptuous. At the same time, he can only serve the royal family under suppression by giving him enough rights."

Alena shook her head and said, "But Theodore is not afraid of his father at all now."

Yao Xueqi smiled and said, "I am talking about the royal family, not the Emperor."

Alena looked at Yao Xueqi's eyes, and her expression froze. She had been to the East, and of course she knew that Dongfang Eryu's ability to calculate was far more capable than that in the West. She also knew that the East, especially the so-called Central Plains, had a group of intelligent and transcendent guys. Today, she finally got to know Yao Xueqi and his wife again. Maybe in the past, Alena only paid attention to their martial arts and powerful power, but now, Alena realized that this was a couple full of ambitions, and at the same time, they had superb political minds.

Alena smiled and said, "I only now understand why you have never expressed your loyalty to the royal family, but have been desperately interacting with the powerful and powerful during this period. It turns out that you have reached some tacit understanding with the powerful and powerful before you declared your service to the royal family. At this time, both sides of you have received support from the powerful and powerful. My Princess Xueqi sister, what do you and your wife do? Can you tell me? What you said just now is to make Theodore fear the royal family, but in the current royal family, he has no one to be afraid of. He doesn't take his father seriously, let alone my brothers."
