Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

Therefore, a clever political game is not just about seizing a position. Huang Cao does not want to waste his time on meaningless struggles for power and profit.

Just because I control Victoria doesn't mean I'm in charge.

Now Victoria has become his tool, but he must not spend too much time and energy on maintaining the tool.

We can't put the cart before the horse.

So King Aslan cannot die, at least not now.

If he dies, there will definitely be other dukes who will take advantage of the situation, and a civil war is inevitable.

Other countries will certainly not let go of this fertile land of Victoria.

When the Four Emperors fight, it will not be Gaul but Victoria that will be fought.

The key point is that Victoria is already in his pocket. He can completely digest the country in a few years. There is no need to cause more trouble.

This is not a matter of mercy or not. Leaving this failed lion is just to save trouble.

After all, I came here to enjoy myself, not to increase the difficulty of passing the level.

So it’s better to let go and let someone else be the emperor and reap the benefits.

I believe that these new aristocrats will take the initiative to help me take care of everything. Although these guys are easily swayed by emotions, being able to become new aristocrats also means that they have a certain level of knowledge and culture.

"Your lives are worthless to me, but you will still be the king of this country for the rest of your time."

"So, in order to repay me for not killing you, what do you think I should give you?"

"By the way, my council members have already dealt with all the treacherous officials who wanted to rebel tonight. What's very chilling is that these treacherous officials who wanted to rebel are all your blood relatives..."

My blood relatives...

The Lion King was slightly stunned, then collapsed on the throne with his whole body weak.

The fact that the man in front of him could say this in front of him basically meant that the bloodline of Londinium Aslan had been completely eradicated by him.

The only surviving bloodline is the Duke stationed at the border, his own uncle...

No! I absolutely cannot let my uncle know about my current situation!

As the heir of Aslan's bloodline, King Victoria now knows the people around him too well.

Once he completely fails and asks him for help, even if he wins in the future, the throne of Queen Victoria will definitely not be his.

There is even the possibility that they will be abandoned after their work has been done, and their own children may be in danger.

Royal struggles have always been cruel, and eradicating the roots can be considered a good outcome.

Even the young king couldn't tell whether his uncle wanted to help him or not.

This is also the reason why he did not seek help immediately.

Perhaps he had sensed in his heart that his life would not be in danger tonight.

Moreover, in the impression of King Aslan, his own uncle was not a trustworthy person. At least that was what the previous King Aslan warned him before passing the throne to him.

Huang Cao was also very helpless and could only sigh that the new nobles acted too quickly. In the blink of an eye, they wiped out all the descendants of Londinium Aslan.

Before he could even react, the gathering place of the old nobles had been cleared out.

The originally magnificent villa was bustling with people a few days ago, but after tonight, there probably won’t be a single living thing left.

The respect this land has for bloodline was beyond his imagination, but so was its hatred.

"I understand what you mean, sir."

King Aslan is still very young, so he doesn't understand human nature very well, but he is quite capable in governing the country.

In fact, it is not really that stupid. It is nothing more than using the emperor to control the princes.

Isn’t it okay for me to be the one?

As long as this country is still ruled by Aslan and his final heir is of his own blood, this situation will never change!

Now that things have come to this, you should give in first. There is an old saying in Yan country that goes well.

Where there is life, there is hope.

73

Chapter 73 Please call me Victoria Protector when you are working!

As long as you are alive, there will be opportunities in the future.

"I like smart people like you, so you should know how to explain what happened tonight, right?"

King Aslan took a deep breath and suppressed the grief in his heart.

"My blood relatives plotted a rebellion tonight. Thanks to you, leading your loyal ministers into the palace to rescue me, Londinium was saved from this conspiracy. I wonder if this explanation satisfies you?"

"Very good! It's just missing a little bit of reward."

"From today on, Your Excellency is the Protector of Victoria, the current ninth Grand Duke, and will also own part of my fiefdom."

Huang Cao took out a map from his pocket and used a knife to mark a large area next to Victoria's territory.

King Aslan frowned slightly. It was not because the territory drawn by the other party was so vast, although it was actually quite large and its area accounted for 15% of the entire area of ​​Victoria.

However, this territory is close to Kazdel and is sparsely populated.

Although there are far fewer natural disasters than in Kazdel, there are basically no resources and it is a place that no one looks down upon.

It is also the place where the Windermere family is stationed, and it has basically no economic value.

"Take as much as you want. What right do I have to choose now?"

The young King Aslan said without hesitation.

Today, this guy must agree to give up the land, even if he wants Londinium.

Huang Cao nodded with satisfaction. This guy seemed to be more sensible than he had imagined.

If divided by territory, the area of ​​this land is as large as 15% of Victoria. It can be said that he owns the most land among all the dukes, but it will not arouse suspicion from others.

Because this land borders Kazdel, the other lands are far away from his own Garden of Eden. Now his own talents have not been cultivated, and even if he wants more, he may not be able to manage them all.

It would be better to use these lands that are beyond your control to win over people's hearts. Anyway, the new nobles will not be able to pay a penny less in the future.

Of course, Huangcao must have chosen this piece of land for a reason. Although the enclosed land looks barren on the surface, there are many rare minerals and pre-civilization machines buried underground.

It’s just that it hasn’t been developed yet, and even Victoria won’t be developed in the future main storyline.

At the same time, it is also adjacent to his own Garden of Eden, so he can directly control the situation in Victoria through multiple paths in the future, so there is no need to be sneaky.

While killing two birds with one stone, you can also once again create an image of yourself as someone who does not intend to fight for power and gain the moral high ground.

And through the hands of the new nobles, he could spread his power of abundance to the wider land of Victoria.

"Of course, not only that, from today onwards, the king's power will be fully delegated to the House of Commons. Any laws and decrees must be approved by the Speaker of the House of Commons before they can be promulgated and implemented."

Is this any different from you becoming the king? You might as well just push me to the guillotine, that would be more satisfying.

This guy is so shameless that he wants to be both a leader and a villain!

King Aslan thought viciously in his heart, but he tried his best to change the status quo and could only nod silently for the sake of his own life.

"Okay, but you have to keep me safe."

"How dare we attack His Majesty the King? The MPs are among the most loyal ministers in Victoria."

"So the MPs also need some practical compensation."

Huang Cao drew another large area on the map, dividing up all the land owned by King Asura, leaving only a very small piece.

He did not intend to keep the land, but instead gave it all to the congressmen who participated in the action tonight.

A horse cannot run fast without grass. Huang Cao does a much better job than King Aslan in winning people's hearts.

Doing so will also allow their "soil" to spread faster, and it is estimated that they will be able to completely occupy the country next year.

"Come, I will help you draft an edict, and you can read it at the meeting tomorrow morning. Don't worry, the members of the House of Commons are all famous and loyal ministers."

I think he is a notorious traitor!

How can a loyal minister call himself a loyal minister every day? How can a good person call himself a good person every day?

No one knew how terrified King Aslan was tonight.

In particular, it was clearly he who gave the land away, but the edict stated that it was Huang Cao who persuaded him to give it away.

He immediately took all the credit for the achievement. Even without this guy's coercion and inducement, King Aslan would not have given up all the territories in his hands.

After writing the edict, Huang Cao also stuffed a seed into the lion's mouth for monitoring purposes.

People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.

When the first rays of morning sunlight shine into the silent palace, the country of Victoria will no longer belong to its owner.

"Respected Speaker, it has only been five years since your reputation began to spread in Victoria. How could you have stolen Victoria's national capital so quickly?"

King Aslan was puzzled, as he had heard of the title of Speaker of the House of Commons three years ago.

After all, this guy caused a lot of trouble to his relatives and country, so he also tried to send people to find and search for him.

At that time, we didn't find out and thought that this guy had run away, so we didn't take him seriously.

Unexpectedly, it was because of his momentary carelessness that he ruined Victoria's national destiny.

"You've been chatting with me all night and you must be hungry, so I prepared some breakfast. After that, it's time to meet your subjects."

Huang Cao clapped his hands, and after the sound, a pair of chefs ran out from outside the gate.

The chefs held a large fried egg on a tray, bowed respectfully to the Speaker instead of the King, and then quickly ran out the door.

"Please, Your Majesty, please enjoy your breakfast and then go to the parliament hall. Your loyal ministers are waiting for your instructions."

Huang Cao performed a gentlemanly greeting gracefully, then walked out of the palace hall with a casual pace.

It seemed that the person I just met was an ordinary guy who couldn't be more ordinary.

King Aslan said nothing, but he was indeed a little hungry after a night of struggle.

But when he put the fried egg, which looked very good, into his mouth, he was choked by the strong taste of pepper.

"Who made this omelette? Why is there so much pepper in it?"

……

This morning is undoubtedly a carnival for the new aristocracy.

Huang Cao never plays both sides, so he plans to kill all the old nobles except King Aslan.

But even if he didn't do it now, the new nobles would spontaneously help him deal with other troubles.

After all, when the new nobles stormed the palace with their butcher knives in hand, these people's positions had to be tied to their own.

Even though the Border Duke Windermere did not want to get involved, he still let Huang Cao in and the family's direct heirs also participated in the coup.

The moment they let people in, it was destined that the surname Windermere would leave a strong mark in future history books.

But this brings not only negative impacts, but also unimaginable tangible benefits.

The Victorian Dukes are divided into two factions in today's era.

One of the factions is King Aslan’s blood relatives, the uncle stationed at the border mentioned earlier.

The other faction is Windermere and other border dukes who have unclear relations with the new nobles.

The strength ratio of the two sides is about six to four, with the Kings accounting for four. This ratio is quite considerable and reasonable.

After all, if Huang Cao hadn't been manipulating things, it would have been impossible for the new nobles to unite without any grudges.

However, since Huang Cao distributed all the land owned by King Aslan to the new nobles, it was impossible for most of the border nobles to stay out of this incident.

Since things have happened, these people can only accept the land donated by Huangcao in full with a smile.

Now that they have eaten, the dukes must do something practical!

So when the news of Londinium's coup reached the border, all the border dukes except those from King Aslan's lineage supported the House of Commons' management of Victoria.

They also organized a coalition force to forcibly blockade the territory of Duke Aslan to prevent the king's uncle from leading his troops into the city.

After all, how could you possibly give up the fat meat that’s already in your mouth?
