Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game
#544 - Internal strife 4
The other three ministers beside him were taken aback when they heard Soren's words, but then they all smiled knowingly.
Their smiles contained both recognition of Soren's intelligence and insight, as well as comprehension and agreement with the Emperor's far-sighted arrangement.
After all, the Wenk Province, which was guarded by Prince Olif, was an important gateway to the eastern part of the empire, and its strategic position was crucial.
Now that the empire is in a difficult period of internal and external troubles, and the border kings are eyeing it covetously, the consequences would be disastrous if the eastern defense line were lost.
Letting Prince Olif guard the eastern gate with all his strength serves two purposes: first, it values his ability and prestige. With his influence in the local area and the troops under his control, he is enough to deter those forces that intend to invade.
Secondly, using the succession to the throne as a bargaining chip and giving him such a huge temptation, he will surely do his best and dare not slack off in the slightest, wholeheartedly devoting himself to the important task of guarding the eastern gate of the empire.
In this way, the eastern defense line of the empire can be stabilized a lot, and more time and energy can be gained for the entire empire to deal with crises in other directions. This is indeed a brilliant move with foresight.
It turns out that everything behind this has been carefully planned.
Back in the Holy Emblem Palace, it was Neumann who first reacted keenly, and he knew Emperor Gustav's intentions well.
That's why he stood up without hesitation and vehemently rejected this decision. It seemed that he was firmly opposed to passing the throne to Prince Olif, but in fact, he was just cooperating with the Emperor in performing a crucial play.
Neumann knew in his heart that if he wanted Prince Olif to completely believe in the Emperor's determination to pass on the throne, there must be such a seemingly tit-for-tat conflict.
Only in this way can Prince Olif feel that the Emperor is really disregarding everyone's opposition and is determined to hand over the throne to him, thus making him believe most of it.
And all of this is proceeding smoothly as planned.
After Prince Olif returns to Wenk Province with a bit of drunkenness and a yearning for the throne, the subsequent arrangements will be carried out in order.
At that time, Emperor Gustav will officially grant him the titles and powers of Crown Prince and Regent.
These two identities are not simple. Crown Prince means that his position in the royal family is already second only to one person and above ten thousand people. He is the first in line to the throne.
The identity of Regent allows him to legitimately exercise some of the Emperor's powers before the Emperor's death, participate in the decision-making of many major affairs of the empire, and control a lot of power.
In order to firmly defend his throne and safeguard this supreme power, Prince Olif will definitely do everything possible to fight desperately with other border kings.
He will manage Wenk Province as solid as a rock, mobilize all his troops, and use all his means to strengthen the defense of the eastern gate of the empire, not allowing any foreign enemies to take advantage of it.
After all, if the eastern gate cannot be defended, his throne will be like a castle in the air, and may collapse in the flames of war at any time.
Therefore, as long as this series of plans is successfully implemented, the eastern gate of the empire will be stable, which is equivalent to erecting an extremely strong barrier in the eastern part of the empire.
Those forces that attempt to attack the empire from the east can only retreat, and it will also gain extremely crucial stability and add a strong guarantee for the entire empire to cope with the difficult situation of internal and external troubles.
Soren stood upright on the city wall, and the breeze gently blew, causing the corners of his clothes to flutter.
His eyes were deep, and he quietly watched Prince Olif and his party gradually move away. Their figures raised some dust on the road, becoming smaller and smaller, until they disappeared on the horizon in the distance.
The corners of Soren's mouth raised slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and he said softly: "The east is no problem, next is the south and southwest battlefield."
His tone revealed a hint of relief, but also contained a solemnity about the subsequent battles. After all, the empire's crisis is not only in one place, and all directions need to be dealt with carefully.
The shadow beside him stood respectfully, bowing slightly. After hearing Soren's words, he frowned, his face showing a little worry, and then he respectfully asked: "Your Highness, what about the Cloto family and Consort Nina?
These two forces have been restless and colluding in secret, like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, which may cause no small harm to the empire at any time."
Soren turned his head slightly and glanced at the shadow, his eyes showing wisdom and calmness. He slowly said: "Let's keep them for now. Prince Olif still needs to work hard for the eastern gate. If we rashly attack the Cloto family and Consort Nina now, once something happens to these two, Prince Olif will definitely react and realize that all the previous things were just a game set by us.
Then he may no longer be as dedicated as he is now to guarding the eastern gate of the empire. Therefore, even if we know that they have bad intentions, during this period, we can even give them some power appropriately, so that they can temporarily feel that their plans are progressing smoothly and relax their vigilance."
Speaking of this, Soren's eyes became sharp, and his tone became a little more serious: "However, you must send someone to keep a close eye on these two, and there must be no slackness.
Their every move, even the slightest disturbance, must be reported to me in time. We must not let them make any big moves under our noses and ruin our overall plan."
"Yes! Your Highness." Shadow replied immediately. He knew the importance of this matter and had already begun to think about which capable people to arrange to carry out this surveillance task, and he must ensure that nothing went wrong.
It can not only make the Cloto family and Consort Nina feel that they are temporarily in a safe and powerful state, but also firmly control their actions in their hands to prevent them from bringing unexpected crises to the empire.
At the same time, the long-established Maze Strategy Team has also completed its selection and is heading to a number of large mazes in the central provinces.
The first target is the Berus Great Maze, more than fifty kilometers outside the capital city.
