Li's path

Chapter 916 Rufas and Osborn
There is a Chinese idiom called "Smartness is mistaken by cleverness", which means that a smart person is delayed or hindered by his own cleverness.

Are Rufas and Osborne smart?

Undoubtedly yes, looking at the empire, they are definitely two of the smartest and most scheming people, with an intelligence value of 100 or higher, not to mention 95.

Most of these people have a common problem, which is easy to complicate simple things. In layman's terms, they think too much.

Taking this matter as an example, Li En wrote that book obviously just to earn start-up funds, but fortunately, he made a speculative vote at the beginning of 1204 of the Seven Lunar Calendar, and he didn't put as much thought into it as Rufas and Osborn speculated.

The reason for the coincidence that Osborn mentioned was purely because the arrangement of the other princes was recorded in detail in the royal family's materials and the Alcide family's historical materials, but the "Pseudo-Emperor" was unclear.Although Li En knew that the descendant of the false emperor was eventually brought back to the Kane family and became the new Duke of Kane, but if he dared to write this, the Kane family would definitely do everything in their power to obliterate him.Let's make up a way, but I feel too awkward, so I can only mention it as "False Emperor", which is almost crazy.

However, in the eyes of Rufas and Osborne, this has become a big chess game, and Li En has become a representative of the new generation because of this series of outstanding performances—if the person involved knows, he will be stunned, come on The previous sentence: "Damn, I'm so awesome?"

Osborne looked up at Rufas, and continued: "Underestimating Li En, ten points will be deducted. I have told you more than once, don't underestimate anyone. Even ordinary people can burst out in a critical moment. The energy of surprise, if you want to become a qualified chess player, you must take all factors into consideration."

"Yes, Your Excellency. But, Your Excellency, it's yours." Rufas hesitated for a while, and finally swallowed the "son" that was on his lips. "It's not surprising that I miscalculated."

Osborne chuckled, his son is outstanding, and being a father is always a pleasure: "I just told you not to underestimate anyone, and you raised him up, and you also belittled yourself by the way. Li En is certainly excellent, but compared to you There is still a certain distance."

"You're flattered. Li En and I have changed places. I can't turn the situation around like him." Rufas laughed.

"In this aspect, Li En is indeed very strong, stronger than you and me, but you can't just look at people from one aspect. Internal affairs, the overall situation, and how to deal with people are far inferior to Li En." Bonus points for him, "You just said that you and Li En changed places, you can't do what he did, I don't deny that, but he can't do what you do, without traces, without arousing suspicion." "Alliance" is gradually weakening. Moreover, Li En is fundamentally different from you. You are a brilliant chess player who is good at making layouts on the chessboard. Li En is a rule breaker and likes to use players outside the board. Turn the chessboard over - in war, his approach is understandable, but once peace is restored, this method cannot be used again. A country must respect a certain order if it wants to be stable. Breaking order will lead to turmoil , That's why I say that you who are good at using rules are better than Li En who is good at breaking rules."

"According to what you mean, he is suitable for the army, and I am suitable for politics?" Rufas asked.

"No." Osborn shook his head and said, "Compared to Claire, you are indeed more suitable for politics. But Li En is different. His unrestrained character is destined to prevent him from developing into military affairs. You have carefully looked at him eyes?"

"Eyes? It feels a little like you, and a little bit not like you. They seem to be hiding something, but there are some subtle differences. It seems to be something on a deeper level. Because I don't have much contact, I don't understand it." As Li As En is one of the few insiders, Rufas has naturally observed Li En, the real "Son of Iron and Blood", and the more he observes, the more contradictory he feels and the more incomprehensible he becomes.

"You've noticed it, but you didn't get to the point." Osborne nodded with satisfaction. "His eyes are more like you than mine."

"And me?"

"That's right, and you. You have a long-term vision, you both saw the end of the aristocratic system and the coming civil war, and chose to endure and made full preparations. More importantly, the purpose of your doing this is To protect relatives and important things. You are for your younger brother, for the survival of the Albarea family, he is for the Schwarzer family, and for the friends around him. Hehe, Quan Yumir moved, and even moved to a place that I don’t even know , It’s such a big deal, I guess most of the money he earned from Ryan Folt went into his airship and relocation plan.”

"When you put it that way, it's really similar." Rufas thought thoughtfully, "But I still feel that there are some subtle differences."

"Of course there is a difference. You have ambitions in the political arena, but he doesn't have such ambitions. He is just a person who is afraid of trouble and wants to get into trouble." Osborne sighed in a complicated way, " In the end, maybe you will be in trouble, and you will not be able to leave even if you want to."

"Isn't this very similar to you?" Rufas asked back, "Everyone thinks that you, the "Iron Prime Minister", are in power and extremely beautiful, but in fact, only a few of us know how difficult it is for you to be a prime minister. Aren't you also the one who took the initiative to get into trouble?"

"It's different. I left him for the sake of the empire. If he faces such a choice, maybe he will do it the other way around."

"Your Excellency, Student Li En, will one day understand your painstaking efforts."

"Understanding, but not accepting, he has already shown his attitude in this regard." Osborne smiled bitterly, "not to mention pushing him to the forefront for the stability of the empire and attracting everyone's attention. My father is really incompetent."

"Your Excellency, do you... regret it?" Rufas put away the elegant smile that only belonged to the noble son, and asked solemnly.

"I don't regret it, it's been decided since I was named prime minister by His Majesty, no matter what happens in the future, I won't regret it." Sitting on the soft chair, Osborne's back was still straight, "It's just, for Li En, for I feel ashamed of her."

"Ashamed, no regrets" Rufas chewed these two words carefully in his heart.

These two words expressed Osborn's heartfelt feelings, and also expressed Rufas's heartfelt feelings.

A "Iron Prime Minister" who left his child behind and became a "Iron Prime Minister" with mixed reputations.

A man who betrayed his father and family and secretly became the leader of "Son of Iron and Blood", "Jade City General".

Although I feel guilty, I don’t regret it! ! !
