Vol 2 Chapter 1228: Three candidates

The grand event at the Imperial City Racecourse finally ended at 5:45 pm; Emperor Jukent subsequently announced that he would hold a small banquet in the Imperial City Hall at 8 pm and invite everyone who has been commended to participate. As for why the "Crystal Courtyard" built by the emperor himself was not used as the main venue... Heliga knew in her heart that it was because of that magical city mutation that caused various minor malfunctions in some facilities inside the palace, and the emperor would not I hope that any trivial matter will become a black swan that sweeps everyone's interest, so I chose a more secure method.
Anyway, the participants in the military, especially the aggressive young soldiers, are almost always involved in military affairs; although they are invited by the emperor to participate in the ceremony, most of them still have to abide by the rule that they are not allowed to drink while serving in the military. . After Heilija was awarded the Imperial Medal enough to cause a sensation in the entire empire, only those who were not so disgusted with the sudden rise of the new star in the army would participate in this small banquet that could not drink, so that the lobby of the Imperial City Hall was even Not comparable to the scale of the Crystal Garden, but it is sufficient.
Patrick told Heliga that his father, the Marquis Fernand Haynes himself, would also attend this banquet. The Marquis Rogner, who had originally planned to let his daughter take part in the event, was able to continue hiding in his hometown. It won't show up at all. In this way, there will not be an embarrassing situation where the three "four famous doors" are all together, and the Kane family is alone.
Now, Tova is going to chat with relatives because their relatives are in the imperial capital, and Tolz's group is left with Juss, Patrick, Lien and Heliga chatting together. Heliga naturally wouldn't tell them the tricky things in the "Imperial Medal"; after all, the emperor was so obliquely telling himself this fact that everyone knows in the empire, obviously not for literacy, but for emphasizing and reminding. He planned to discuss with Olibat later, and then slowly ponder it; while Patrick and Eusis were talking about the follow-up questions of the Kane family at this time.
"Father said that before I graduate from school, I don't plan to let me participate in the core affairs of these nobles, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Patrick is obviously not satisfied with his father's decision. At this time, he is facing Li Eun complained, "But Eusis should know some inside information?"
"It's the question of the candidate for the new head of the Kane family..." Juss understood what Patrick mentioned. "You said that...that's really a troublesome thing..."
"Because everyone suspects that your Majesty will directly investigate and deal with the Kane family." Heilijia saw the doubt on Li En's face and quietly leaned into his ear and said, "But I didn't expect that the final result was to put it down gently."
After all, there is no public announcement about the intention to deal with Duke Kane-the media are basically the same, insisting that Duke Kane will be sentenced to death this time. But Heilija and Euses had already met with the emperor before, knowing that the emperor wanted the heads of Logner and Haynes to solve this problem at this year’s "League of Nations"-in other words, no matter what How does Koroval himself end up? At least the Kane family won't get any extra treatment; if the prime minister swings a heavy hammer on the nobles, then everyone is treated the same, and there is no difference.
"Because of this topic, your Majesty called Roger and Haineshou to deal with it all... Therefore, I have only learned some basic information from the standpoint of a colleague of the "Four Famous Men." Juss looked at Li En's curious expression and Patrick's expectation expression, and said helplessly, "Specifically, there are currently three candidates who are eligible to be the next Duke Kane." "
Euses gave a brief introduction to them in turn. First of all, since Koroval de Kane himself has no heirs, or even a wife, there is almost no way to nominate heirs from among his direct blood relatives; moreover, after his own reputation has become infamous, he has a blood relationship with him. Being too close to each other may not be considered a particularly huge advantage. Therefore, among the aristocrats who have a close relationship with the main branch of the Kane family, it is most likely that a new duke will appear.
First of all, the Marquis of Ballard, who has a certain reputation in the entire imperial aristocratic circle-this is a chubby, short old man, he contains all the shortcomings that the great aristocracy may have-gluttony, lust, greedy for money, And the desire for power is extremely high. However, this person has obvious advantages in participating in the Duke campaign: First of all, his own title is already a marquis, which means that he has a good family background and property, which also means that he will have much less resistance when he becomes a duke. . Secondly, the Marquis of Ballard is quite business-minded. Although he is willing to enjoy the worldly life, his ability to make money is also first-rate, and this person is quite cheeky. Tradition does not exist in him; therefore, if the aristocracy is weak and needs to introduce a representative to accept the cooperation of the government, the Marquis of Ballard may also be the one who resists the least; in other words, he is quite knowledgeable about current affairs. "Junjie".
The second candidate is Earl Eaglet. His daughter is the elder brother of the current Duke Kane, the wife of the former Duke Alfred Alfred, but died in an accident many years ago. Earl Eaglet has a unique eye and a mature and prudent personality. He is most suitable to stabilize the situation in this chaotic and dangerous situation, in order to further develop the follow-up. From this point of view, this respected old man may be more suitable than the Marquis of Ballard. After all, the Marquis of Ballard has obvious advantages and disadvantages, while the Earl of Igrete is almost impossible to find. What shortcomings. The only problem is that the old man seems to be tired of the struggle in the power arena. He has been living in seclusion in the old mansion of Haidu many years ago. However, if you ask political affairs, it may be quite difficult to invite him out of the mountain. Bar.
Both of these two people are well-known in the noble circle, so Patrick and Heilijia both nodded and signaled Euses to continue. Only Lien looked blank. It seems that Umir’s family of Baron is indeed too much. Stay away from the bargaining circle of the nobles. When it came to the third candidate, Juses hesitated.
Both Euses and Patrick looked puzzled, but Heilija understood why Euses did this—this was related to a secret letter he had received before. And the person who wrote that letter signed himself as "Fluffy Mint."
