Chapter 358 Assassination Case
Hudson's head was still buzzing when he came out of the palace.
It is difficult for emerging aristocrats to get along, and it is even harder for the bosses to get along. You can tell from the current situation that you don’t take him to play when you do things.
If he had known that it was Crown Prince Caesar's plan, he would have been too lazy to come out to be the offending bird.
Reason told him that if he kept going like this, the reputation he had accumulated on the battlefield would sooner or later be defeated.
Success is the battlefield, defeat is the battlefield.
Hudson knew very well that the main reason why everyone rejected him was not because he was an emerging aristocrat, but because he performed too perfectly on the battlefield.
If he was an old man in his 180s, everyone would probably recognize him. He would only have been there for a few days, and he would just be able to offer him high.
Unfortunately, Hudson was only in his early twenties and was able to be active in the kingdom politics for decades. If he had a thicker face, he could even be active for hundreds of years.
Anyone with a little brain knows that such potential powerful officials must be suppressed in advance. Otherwise, if Hudson continues to operate smoothly, how can our younger generations survive in the future?
The conflict in core interests determines that no matter how hard Hudson works, it cannot be truly accepted by all parties.
The current situation is: the old aristocrats are worried that they will seize everyone's interests after they grow older; the emerging aristocrats lack confidence and have their own worries, so they are unwilling to recommend Hudson, the leader, to take the lead.
Crown Prince Caesar risked offending a group of old aristocrats in China. There must be other reasons behind such a big show.
...
Looking at the disputes in the Southeast Province, you will know that for most of the time, he was forced to take the defensive position instead of taking the initiative.
If you can't play with rough techniques, then just play with technical skills.
His father's funeral was disturbed, and his throne ceremony was also destroyed.
When everyone is at peace, Hudson will be relieved. If the domestic situation is not rioting, no matter how tense the international situation is, it will not directly affect the kingdom for a while.
Don’t expect to change jobs. If you can’t survive in the Alpha Kingdom, you will only die even worse if you change your country.
After drinking a cup of tea, Hudson returned to his calmness and began to sort out the contents of the palace meeting.
There is a ready-made role model, and it is impossible for everyone to have no idea. The only problem is that there are no orcs in the south, so they can't play the trick of killing people with a knife.
"ah!"
It would be fine if a small and medium-sized aristocrat in China was unfortunately killed, and it would be a big trouble.
"Catch the assassin!"
Inviting people from the Holy See to come and crown it seemed like a joke, but Hudson knew very well that this may not be impossible to become a reality.
A group of old foxes were actually frightened. But it is normal to think about it. When an old man encounters something, he must think more.
According to this torture method, if the kingdom does not take timely action to stop it, it is estimated that the southeastern province will be almost divided before Prince Caesar establishes his prestige.
...
If such a thing happens, someone must be responsible for it. But the most important thing now is to find out who was assassinated.
However, these factors alone are not enough to make Crown Prince Caesar do things so well. Everyone is decent, so it’s enough to just give it a hint, why do you have to say it out yourself?
Even if Prince Caesar couldn't hold back, the royal family's politically experienced guys would stop him. The only explanation is: do it deliberately!
Hudson sighed deeply with his fingers and wrote four words on the table - "land annexation".
The slap in the face came too suddenly, and came from heaven to hell. Hudson didn't know how to describe his mood.
Hudson didn't know anything else, but in the past few months, more than a dozen young nobles in the southeastern province have had accidents.
Before the rise of the northern aristocracy, everyone had a relatively high moral integrity. They waited for the small aristocracy to decline before they could annex it.
It mainly depends on his next performance. As long as his current strong character is not broken, no matter how powerful the political means are, he may become the second Caesar III.
It's easy to say but hard to do.
Was the assassination successful?
There are many big shots attending the funeral, and any one of them can cause a storm.
Relatively speaking, Hudson now has better cards. He doesn't even need to work hard. He just needs to wait until he gets older and can get into the core of power.
Originally, the Hesse Kingdom was eager to try and wanted to wait for an opportunity to get a share of the pie. Now that this happened, it was like giving the excuse to the other party.
The royal family's ideas were more complicated. On the one hand, they needed his military talents to shock foreign enemies. On the other hand, they were worried that Hudson would threaten the royal power after becoming bigger.
A scream came, and the crowd immediately shouted "catching assassin". The originally orderly funeral scene was instantly invisible.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been beaten by society and had the power in his life, he would have taken the initiative to remain silent at the age of his prime.
It is useless for the little noble to find something wrong. Without evidence in his hands, can we still expect others to admit it?
If the window paper is not broken, the family will still be able to keep a short title alive after the decline; if the window is opened, it will either be "been" suddenly killed or "been" colluded with a cult.
Given the current international situation, if Prince Caesar dares to send an invitation, Pius VII will probably come to preside over the ceremony in person.
Crown Prince Caesar ordered decisively.
Either they were punished with high fines for crimes; or they lost money for their business outside; or they were robbed in their territory; or they started working with their neighbors because of a fight for their will...
"Your Highness, the one who was assassinated was Prince Claude of Hesse!"
It's the same everywhere. When your appearance harms others' interests, you are a cult.
Crown Prince Caesar asked angrily.
No matter how reasonable the story sounds, in the end, the nobles involved were severely damaged by the torture.
After all, if a boss cannot convince the public by virtue of respect, then making his subordinates afraid is also a good management method.
Facing a mad king who just overturns the table with a disagreement, everyone will be scared.
With the joint support of many factors, Hudson, who is good at attracting allies, fell into an embarrassing situation in the kingdom's politics.
It is called "hard-heartedness", but in fact it means climbing too fast, making everyone uncomfortable and lacking insecure.
"Who was assassinated?"
In the early morning, at the funeral of Caesar III, Hudson couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the great nobles who attended with red eyes.
It’s not that he had never thought about being strong, but when he thought of the heroes who died young in history, Hudson gave up this idea.
With the family fortune left by Caesar III, the royal family now has the ability to lie down any major noble in the country. However, this power is still controlled by the young and energetic king.
Who was assassinated?
No matter how much subsequent impact he was in a furious daytime, he did shock a group of old nobles.
Before you can't figure out the quality of his new boss, everyone's next actions will definitely be restrained.
Perhaps the Holy See is a stinking street in the minds of the nobles, but its influence among the people is still deeply rooted, and even a group of supporters are lurking within the nobles.
No wonder they dared to use a group of old nobles as rafts. It was because both sides stood opposite each other from the beginning, and there was no room for compromise at all.
It would be fine if it was just a political trouble, but the key was the vigilant position held by all parties, which greatly restricted Hudson's actions.
...
Now that this kind of thing happens, the ceremony will definitely be affected. If you encounter such a thing on the day of succession, it is definitely a big "bad".
The problem now is:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately sends someone to see if Prince Claude is safe now."
Everyone who sees Crown Prince Caesar wins over is known. Either the Lord has merged all his neighbors; or the Lord has unstable foundations in the new rise.
It's different now. It's too wasteful time when the little nobles themselves decline, and all the ambitious people have learned how to play.
Obtaining the support of these people is also of great significance to securing the throne.
After rationally sorting it out, Hudson was surprised to find that he had actually underestimated Crown Prince Caesar.
As soon as the Minister of Foreign Affairs Earl Francis finished speaking, Prince Caesar's face turned into ashes at the bottom of the pot. He was really afraid of anything he wanted.
If you can't change the world, then you can adapt to the world. After referring to the history of countless great nobles, Hudson found their common successful experience, which is - "Gou".
Even if it is introduced to foreign enemies, everyone tacitly does not kill the nobles in the internal struggle of the human race. As long as they do not die directly on the battlefield, they can basically save their lives.
Governors and county magistrates from all over the country only did two things - raising taxes and fueling the fire.
If you really look into it, the initiator will be the five major families in the Northland. Although they have made themselves notorious because of their large-scale land annexation, they have gained benefits!
It is precisely because of these benefits that they have jumped from the frontier lord to the top family in the kingdom.
According to the tradition of the Alpha Kingdom, the old king is usually sent to the soil in the morning, and the crown prince takes over the crown and becomes crowned ascends the throne in the afternoon.
It is ironic that the biggest black hand that caused the decline of the young nobles was not the large and medium-sized nobles in the province, but the internal struggle between the young nobles.
It’s better to let others go to war! Farming with peace of mind is the best way to go, and Mr. Hudson is a peace-loving master.
"Send the order and let the palace guards come immediately to maintain order and arrest the murderer!
Reason told him that as long as he dares to emerge now, he will either die young or have another general in the cult organization.
Things have happened, so we can only remedy it as much as possible. Now we can only expect Prince Claude to be fine, so there is still room for maneuver in everything.
If Prince Claude had an accident...
He didn't dare to continue thinking about the terrifying consequences.
The ministers on the side were also scared. The princes of neighboring countries had an accident at their own home, and this legendary thing actually happened in front of them.
