Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

The clown was me?Holding the last hope, Wei Na asked:

"you...."

Before the words came out, Wayne nodded and said:

"Ah um... In a less strict sense, I probably did it."

Not strictly speaking?

That means, you didn't do it yourself, you ordered it behind the scenes?

Just relying on orders from behind, he killed the uncle who defeated the army and drove him out of the palace?

For a while, Wei Na's psychological shadow area not only did not decrease, but expanded even more.

The psychological shadow of father and son is double, one is stronger than one!

Noticing Wei Na's eyes, how could Wei En not know what she was thinking?

But, I really can't blame him.

He, Wayne Bruce, the son of the tyrannical Aslan usurper, is actually a time traveler.

My predecessor, the real Wayne Bruce, was completely unworthy of the identity represented by this name. He was a good-for-nothing who carried out the old man's heroic bastard. Not only was he incompetent, but he was also lacking in brains.If it wasn't for his status as the only son, he wouldn't be able to sit on the position of crown prince at all, but it happened that such a guy who had become the crown prince actually listened to Lateran's bewitching, fearing that his throne would be unstable, and wanted the support of Lateran. Get on the throne early next time, and forget about giving your own father to that!

If he plotted against him, then he plotted against him. Although he probably had to be a dog for Lateran, he was still the king anyway. As a result, the child didn't live up to it. After the fight, he was frightened to death when he saw his father's miserable appearance.

This made Wayne pick up a leak.

As a senior Ark of Tomorrow player, Wayne naturally knows what kind of situation he is in. As the Victoria puppet king that Rutland originally wanted to support, after his predecessor was frightened to death, in a few years, Rutland will Tracy, who supported Kazdale, moved to Victoria, so I am not scared to death now...or I am alive again after being scared to death, what should I do?

Directly expand their ambitions, start the industrial revolution, religious reforms, smash Lateran, annex Ursus, plot great inflammation, and finally unify Terra?

In view of the existence of characters like the undead black snake on the land of Terra, if this useless character of myself changes his sex all of a sudden, he will probably be hanged on the spot before he can show his grand plans.

So is he willing to be a lackey of Lateran, enjoying the glory and wealth but spending his life as a wimp?If it was his predecessor, he probably would have liked it, but it is impossible for the current Wayne to agree to this way of living.

Now that you have come here, you have achieved such a high position, and you will spend your whole life doing nothing. How is that different from Salted Fish Titi?

He still has many people he wants to save, such as Frost Star, Big Daddy, Big Brother Ace, and even Teresia.

That being the case, what is the best way to not allow my image to change suddenly by 180 degrees, but also to maintain control over Lateran and not be completely manipulated by Lateran?

Wayne looked at his sister who he had worked so hard to find from the slums.

The answer is simple.

Be the mastermind behind the scenes!During the period of changing your own image, uphold the four basic principles!

Wei Na can fly with confidence, if an accident happens, she will bear it herself, Wei Na can rest assured, brother will take care of it!

Looking at Wei Na, who was still relieved by her uncle's downfall, Wei En evoked a wicked smile.

Do you think uncle's party is down?In fact, he did fall. After all, there are no people left, so it’s impossible not to fall.

But the so-called just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den.

Now, the blue sky above the elder brother's head!

So, Ms. Wei Na, king of advancement, go for the duck!

Chapter 3 I, Wayne, is the Oscar statuette himself

The Norfolk family has always been one of the many aristocratic forces in Victoria that should not be underestimated. The family has ruled over three mobile cities headed by the super-large mobile city-state Norfolk County for generations, which together constitute the arch guard. The eastern fortress of the unfallen city of Londinium.Although the past dynasties adhered to the creed of never interfering in the politics of Londinium, they still maintained unquestionable influence among the nobles by virtue of force.

However, its contemporary patriarch, Ernest Norfolk, has always been known as the "Wisdom Norfolk" in the aristocratic circle. The real reason is his actions in the War of the Roses that changed the fate of the entire Victoria. The decision-he sided with his uncle who started the war, breaking the principle of non-intervention that the Norfolk family had adhered to.

After all, the so-called "wisdom eye" is actually just a beautified title. Ernest's power is now in full swing, and the situation is stronger than others. A wise eye recognizes pearls, and a good bird chooses a tree, but if one day, the situation changes, and the "wisdom eye" is not kept, it will be interpreted as speculation and recklessness.

But regardless of these issues of reputation and creed, as a soldier, General Vajvan, who inherited the name of the Red Dragon of Protecting the Country, is definitely a first-class character. It is one of the few top-level military units in the entire land of Terra that do not lose to the Kazdel Wendigo Legion, the Absolutionist Order, the Lateran Pope's Guard, the Great Flame Shadow Guard, and the Blade of Emperor Ursus.

All in all, to achieve Wayne's goal of breaking the shackles and complying with the destiny, winning the support of this great nobleman is an indispensable part.

Gathering up the secret file about Ernest Norfolk in his hand, Wayne tidied up his appearance, raised his hand and knocked on the somewhat old door in front of him.

At five thirty in the afternoon, the Veuve Clicquot.

Ernest put the wine glass in his hand to his mouth and gestured, but turned his gaze to the uninvited guest in front of him, the provocation in his eyes was self-evident.

Wayne smiled helplessly.To be honest, he is obviously a British gentleman, but this kind of negotiation method of discussing world affairs at the wine table and not talking about it after drinking this glass of wine always makes people involuntarily think of the Ursas Empire and the Ursus Empire thousands of miles away. Great inflammation.

But as the saying goes, if you give up your life to accompany a gentleman, now that Wayne has come, there is absolutely no reason to leave easily. He picked up the wine glass that Ernest personally filled for him on the table, raised his head boldly, and drank it all in one gulp. .

Speaking of which, Wayne himself doesn't like to drink, he belongs to the type of pouring three glasses, but this body has a good foundation, and his predecessor was considered a sensualist before, and it is just a glass of beer, which does not affect his sobriety .

However, this really surprised Ernest. The middle-aged man who had passed his forties looked at Wayne with great interest, and said after a while:

"It is said that the adult's son is a waste, I don't think so."

"If I were a piece of trash, I should be drinking with a maid who doesn't know where she came from in the walls of the Londinium Palace, instead of going to a bar in a restaurant that can't attract customers to drink with an old man. Right, Marshal Ernest?"

Ernest nodded silently, motioning Wayne to continue.

"This is a tavern opened by your comrades in arms. In the later period of the War of the Roses, a lot of confidential information flowed out of Londinium from here, and then flowed to the northern military camp where my father was. It can be said that my father was able to succeed in the War of the Roses. , this tavern is indispensable. That's why I was able to find this place."

"But you're so sure I'll be here today?"

Ernest asked back.

Wayne shook his head: "I'm not sure, but if you squat a few times, you will always be able to squat."

Ernest was taken aback, then turned to look at the one-eyed bartender at the bar who was silently wiping his glass. This bartender used to be his bodyguard and one of the captains of the steam armor unit. After being injured by Ruya, he was forced to Retired came to this "intelligence station" under the shadows, and Ernest absolutely trusted his identity.

The one-eyed bartender naturally knew what Ernest's eyes meant. He glanced at Wayne, and then nodded slightly:

"This is his third day here."

Ernest was completely silent now.

At the same time, doubts swarmed in his heart.

His "Smart Norfolk" has always had a good eye for seeing people. Although it is only some minor details, it is enough to see a person's character and ability in daily life.

Wayne can tell the truth from the vast sea of ​​information, and finding this tavern is enough to prove his intelligence analysis ability.And he was able to squat at the closed door for three days without hesitation just to see himself, which can also show his perseverance. You know, he came to the Triumph Tavern today just to get together with old friends on a temporary basis. If he If you don't come, how long will Wayne have to wait, three days?five days?Or a week or a month?

Although it was the first time to see the crown prince with his own eyes, Wayne's impression of him was quite different from the rumored No.

But the rumors couldn't be groundless, especially the rumors of Wayne's waste had already flowed out when his father was still there. Why did these rumors exist?Why did he come to find himself?

Ernest looked at Wayne, hoping he would give an explanation.

In this regard, Wayne is also a little uncomfortable.

According to the previous memory records, Ernest is actually the best friend of Wayne's father, a veritable Iron Uncle Party member, but now, even this Iron Uncle Party member has expressed doubts about himself, which shows that the original owner's reputation is bad. What has become.

But this also strengthened Wei En's plan to push Wei Na out of the stage and stand behind the scenes.

——I only showed the intelligence of a slightly better ordinary person, but I received doubts from the strongest allies. If I really change my personality all of a sudden, I will change from "not eating meat" to "Han Guangwu" in one breath I'm afraid he will be hanged to death on the street lamp under the name of "evil spirit possession" the next day.

To change their inherent impression, this matter has to be done slowly and in the long run.

And now, it's time to show off your acting skills!

Wayne sighed, raised his head solemnly, and looked at the majestic old man in front of him, with an expression of three points of humiliation, two points of regret, and five points of responsibility that had been practiced countless times on his face. He took a deep breath, and put the bag Prepared early, the Lateran people took out the token that the Lateran gave to the predecessor when he bewitched his predecessor to kill his father, and slapped it heavily on the bar. His face was like an angry lion cub, gnashing his teeth and slamming every word. said:

"Grand Duke, do you know if you are wise enough to protect yourself?"

"If I don't do this, my father won't be the only one who falls!"

Chapter 4 Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chencang!

The angel of the cicada chrysalis stretched its four wings, and its huge halo was shining. Although it was just a glance, how could Ernest not see the origin of this token.There is no doubt that there is only one race in Terra who dares to use this emblem.

"The Lateran?"

Ernest couldn't help saying the name silently, which was an unexpected but reasonable answer.

For hundreds of years, Lateran has been expanding his influence in all parts of Terra through religious preaching and giving. Except for Yan, who pursues seclusion and has no intention of competing, and Kazdel, who has a feud with Lateran, In addition, the Lateran forces in other countries are constantly expanding, and even in some blank areas of the country, some independent mobile cities that have not joined the National Alliance have been forcibly brought under the jurisdiction of Lateran. The so-called "Latland Notary Office" was established to protect the client's property in name, but it has been carrying out intelligence and espionage work secretly, and sometimes even exceeded its authority to enforce the law. contempt for sovereignty.

Although the kingdoms of Terra have complained about this for a long time, they have been suffering from not being able to catch enough grounds. The Lateran people have always been quite measured, and they have not made any public provocations, so they turned a blind eye. Only eyes.

And Victoria has always been one of the countries that maintains great tolerance and respect for Lateran. Not only did it take the initiative to promote Lateran religion in its territory, it even established it as the state religion. Ernest never expected that those provincials The electric bill expert actually turned his mind on Victoria.

But when you think about it carefully, this kind of thing is not so unbelievable. After all, apart from Iberia, which was within Lateran's sphere of influence from the beginning, Victoria is the country that has been most deeply influenced by Lateran. If the people of Lateran are ambitious and want to fight for the hegemony of Terra, Victoria is indeed the best target - after all, there is no need to preach, and most people in the country are also believers, and they regard Lateran as their second hometown. This kind of place could not be more suitable for the novice village to hone skills after Rutlan was born.

Thinking of this, Ernest couldn't help sighing.

At the beginning, Wayne's father vigorously promoted the Lateran religion in order to consolidate his unstable rule after the War of the Roses by using the content of the Lateran religion to persuade people to be kind and to persuade people to suffer in this world, but he did not expect that in the end he would Lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot, not only failed to sit on the throne for a few years, but also lost his life in the conspiracy of the Lateran people, which is really embarrassing.

Fortunately, his son is not as useless as the rumors say, otherwise, if those Lateran people take this opportunity to support a fool king to come to power, play the trick of behind-the-scenes, listening to politics behind the curtain, Victoria's future , It's in jeopardy!

Thinking of this, Ernest finally figured it out (brained out) everything. He looked at Wayne with a little more appreciation in his eyes, and asked instead:

"The next goal of His Royal Highness Wayne is to use Lateran's support to ascend to the throne, consolidate the rule, and then bite back?"

This has to be said to be a good plan. Wayne's ten-year-long life as a dandy has firmly engraved the impression that he is ignorant in everyone's heart, even Ernest, the uncle's confidant Veteran, if we hadn't had this long conversation today, we would never have imagined that Wayne was hiding a knife in his smile, planning to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.Even his confidant didn't expect it, let alone the Lateran who hadn't really put his hand into Victoria.

In this way, while deceiving the Lateran people, they can also use the influence of the Lateran people to stabilize the position, killing two birds with one stone, which is perfect.Ernest nodded convincingly.

But Wayne made a move that made his jaw drop. He shook his head firmly and said:

"I don't plan to ascend the throne. I will take Wei Na back. I plan to let her sit in this position."

"why!?"

Ernest slapped the table, couldn't help standing up and questioning, Wayne pressed his hand, motioned him to be calm, and explained:

"Marshal Ernest, the throne is just a decoration. Our real weapon is power. Power is divided into two types, one is political power and the other is military power. Let me ask you, who owns the military power in Victoria now? ?”

Ernest was taken aback, and replied with a little pride: "Of course it's me. After the War of the Roses, all the steam armor troops in Victoria have been subordinated to me. In five years, my confidantes have basically been deployed. , plus the original military strength of the Norfolk family, even if all of Victoria rebelled together, it would not be able to make any waves!"

Wayne nodded and asked again:

"What about the regime?"

Ernest pondered for a moment, and replied:

"In the hands of your father... Now, it should be in the hands of the nobles of the council, and the power will not be returned until the new king ascends the throne."

"Then what if the parliament is all ours?"

"The regime is naturally in our hands...wait!"

Ernest suddenly raised his head and looked at the young man with a bright smile in front of him, and the question he was about to say was instantly blocked in his mouth.

He didn't need to ask any more, the answer was self-evident.

The military power is in the hands of Ernest. Ernest is a proper uncle's party and a hard-core elder brother's party. It can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. , isn't it just a decoration?

Moreover, this is much smarter than standing in front of the stage by yourself. Not only does it not have to deal with a large group of troublesome nobles every day, it is more free, and the safety factor is also much higher.

In addition to the dandy appearance that Wayne has always pretended to be, at that time, even if the Lateran people see that Victoria's decree is not from the palace, but from the princes, Wayne will not be the object of their suspicion-who would doubt a worthless man? The prince has a problem, let alone a foolish prince who doesn't even care about being robbed of his throne.

At that time, with Wei Na standing in front of the stage to deal with dangers and troubles, Wei En can hide behind the scenes, analyze the situation, and make judgments. This is the real mastermind behind the scenes, listening to politics behind the curtain. The way of the Lateran people is simply weak up!

Thinking of that scene, Ernest couldn't help but tremble all over, firstly because of the terrifying resourcefulness and talent shown by Wayne, and secondly because of awe!

Wayne's reputation as a trash has been around for several years. It can be traced back to when his father was the prince of the North, not the Lord of Victoria. , and the ability to judge the situation, how terrifying should it be?

He even suspected that the reason why the King of the North, who had always been obsessed with military force, brazenly launched the War of the Roses to usurp the throne and seize power might be the shadow of this Highness behind him. It was found because Wayne intervened behind the scenes!

He has calculated for more than ten years, just to achieve this set of Mingxiu plank road today, the king's party rectifies the chaos and welcomes Wei Na back, secretly plotting Chen Cang, Wei En's shocking conspiracy to control the court and cover the sky with one hand!

Horror, it can only be called horror, this is no longer a talent, Ernest thinks without exaggeration, maybe even those so-called immortals who have lived for thousands of years can only use tricks, right?

The contempt and suspicion towards Wayne before the wine tasting were all gone. Ernest bowed his hands in complete convincing, looked at Wayne, and respectfully said:

"Then, Your Highness, how do you control the nobles in the parliament? You know, many of them are die-hard royalists, and they have never dealt with us. It is really not easy to subdue them!"

"In fact, there are many ways, such as expanding the parliament, let us select the so-called low-level people to elect representatives, join the parliament to divide power or carry out parliamentary reforms, form a lower house, and form a political party that we secretly control. For the House of Lords, it is dedicated to discussing the messy matters of noble etiquette, and the House of Commons is dedicated to real power and state affairs, in name, it is said to maintain the elegance of the upper class and separate it from the lower class."

Ernest's eyes lit up, and he took a closer look, and found that both of these plans were feasible, and the chances of success were very high, but Wayne shook his head again:

"But this is too slow. The coronation time is approaching, and it's a bit late to start the layout now, so it's better to use a simpler way."

"An easier way?"

Wayne showed a bad smile again, glanced at Ernest, and deliberately said in a serious voice:

"The new king is enthroned, to bring order out of the chaos, in order to prevent the remnants of the previous dynasty from getting mixed up in the parliament and deliberately rebelling, the parliament is dissolved today, and another election will be held at another time!"

Ernest was surprised: "Will they agree to this?"

"First of all, this is a very normal situation. The new king has been living in the market for many years. When the king returns, it is a natural move to clear the court and the opposition. Those royalists who feel that they are about to gain power will definitely not raise objections, and our supporters only need to ask Those who are smart and useful inside will say hello and remind them that when the time comes, it will be over with a symbolic resistance. Anyway, it is not up to us to decide who will be chosen in the end. The rest are useless, and we can take this opportunity to release them Second, in order to prevent accidents and establish authority for my sister, we definitely need force!"
