Chapter 275 [Du Wei proposes]
Du Wei never thought that the Luo Lin family would have such a relationship with the imperial royal family's machinations.
Judging from Philip's remarks, this guy is worthy of being a disciple highly recommended by the scholars of Blue Ocean University. He is indeed very knowledgeable in the art of emperors and tactics. Although when he first came to the Northwest, he acted like a rookie.
.But that was all due to lack of experience. In fact, his theoretical foundation was deeply trained by Lan Hai. Otherwise, he would not have won the Du Wei title in just one year with his outstanding performance.
of trust.
Although Du Wei is smart and well-read, he has been "self-taught" since he was a child. After all, no one has really taught him or enlightened him about this kind of political strategy and the imperial family's power.
What's more, it actually involves the Luo Lin family itself! If Semel's husband, the great-great-grandmother's husband, died in something unusual... then such a thing is absolutely impossible within the Luo Lin family.
I said half a word of it! Since Du Wei was a child, it was naturally impossible for him to hear any rumors. There is no way that there is even a single sentence in the family documents and information!
Duwei had never heard of the old things Philip said about the Luo Lin family. It turned out that the documents within the family that he read at home mentioned the marriage with the Augustinian royal family, and they were all explained in a glorious tone.
, it can only be said that the Luo Lin family is valued by the royal family, which is the glory of the Luo Lin family and a reflection of its status in the empire.
However, Du Wei had never thought about how it would feel when this soft knife was cut on his body.
I'm afraid... only my father, who is now in Luo Lin's hometown, knows it well.
Thinking of this, Du Wei could no longer listen to what Philip was saying to everyone. In his mind, Semel's faint sigh seemed to be full of infinite meaning, which Du Wei couldn't even bear to think about, and didn't dare to think about...
I just tried to communicate with Semel repeatedly, but this woman stopped giving any response.
She is obviously just a magical creature, but she looks more and more like Semmel herself...
Philip was discussing with the generals. Seeing that Du Wei was distracted, he couldn't help but closed his mouth. He looked at Du Wei for a while and then called in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Your Majesty the Duke?"
"Huh?" Du Wei frowned, came back to his senses, glanced at Phillip, then looked at the generals, and forced a smile: "What Phillip said just now was wonderful, I was a little fascinated after listening to it." After pondering for a while, he asked.
: "Philip, according to your analysis, this royal marriage is clearly a trap..."
"Yes! That's right!" Dardaniel was the first to call out, but he was thinking about Duwei wholeheartedly: "Since it is a trap! Humph, this Augustine family member is too insidious! Now the Duke is not
There is nothing wrong with them, they are going to use such a dirty trick against the Duke!"
Philip gave a bitter smile and glanced at Du Wei. Du Wei understood, waved his hand to stop Dardaniel's intention to speak, and then said with a smile: "This is not a sinister thing. It's just that as an emperor, he can control his subordinates."
Techniques have always been nothing more than means of differentiation, win-win, and balance. Regardless of whether I have different intentions or not, as an emperor, it is impossible for me to watch a figure with too concentrated power appear under my command without being indifferent. This is not considered sinister by His Highness Chen, it is just a common practice.
.From his standpoint, this is the right thing to do. It would be foolish for him to allow such powerful officials to appear and do nothing."
These generals are unambiguous in fighting, but when it comes to these political maneuvers, it is no longer the case. The only one who is slightly more outstanding is the 250th General. After all, Longbottom had suffered the hardships of political struggles before he entered the army.
After many years in prison, he finally got some ideas. Although he may not be proficient, he still hit the point in one sentence. He grinned widely, looked at Du Wei with a smile, then looked at Phillip, and said: "
In this case, if we marry, we have fallen into a trap again, and if we do not marry, we are afraid of royal suspicion... It seems contradictory, but since Mr. Philip can analyze it so clearly, there must be a solution."
The look in the fat man's eyes clearly meant: This kind of intrigue is what you staff are best at...
Philip usually has a very calm temperament, is cautious and polite to everyone. Although he is Du Wei's chief staff, he has never had any airs, so he has a good relationship with all the generals under Du Wei.
At this moment, everyone was looking at the young staff member, waiting for what he would say.
After all, Philip was still young and in front of everyone, he couldn't help but blush slightly, coughed, and then said: "Everyone, there is also the Duke. As I said just now, I am personally opposed to marrying into the royal family. Although in the short term, for Your Excellency,
His reputation has been improved, but...hey, to say something disrespectful, I think you, the Duke, don’t want to sleep with Prince Chen’s eyeliner next to you in the next few decades.”
Du Wei smiled lightly: "Just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush."
"It is inevitable to win the trust of Prince Chen! But marriage is not necessary. Fortunately, the regent really values ​​the Duke, and it seems that his inner trust in the Duke is also very deep.
So, this proposal of marriage... can be considered as a relatively gentle method, without any intention of force. Otherwise, if the Duke arrives at the imperial capital, at the banquet, in front of many wealthy and noble officials in the imperial capital, then mention it publicly... that
On this occasion, if he opens his mouth, even if you are not happy, Your Majesty the Duke, you will definitely not be able to refuse!"
Du Wei thought about it, and it was indeed true. If Prince Chen really did that, the actual ruler of the empire would take the initiative to propose marriage to him in public. If he refused in public, it would be equivalent to embarrassing the other party in public. Indeed,
inappropriate.
"So, fortunately, Prince Chen doesn't seem to be so determined, or in other words, we can't guess his intentions, but his actions also give us a chance. I mean, sir... Anyway, here.
Before returning to the imperial capital for the first time, you must make an appointment to get married!"
Du Wei's eyes widened: "What...you want me to get married immediately?"
Then he shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, this is absolutely not possible!"
In Du Wei's heart, Vivian is the only woman he thinks he can accept and stay with for the rest of his life. Other women, whether it is Mrs. Lister or Angel, Du Wei cannot accept in his heart.
.
But, marry Vivian as your wife now?
After all, Du Wei was from the previous life. Although the fifteen-year-old Luo Li was very attractive and cute, Du Wei really wanted to push down a fifteen-year-old girl who was not even physically mature. He still
He really couldn't do such an animal thing, let alone this girl, whom he really liked and loved.
I was fifteen years old. In my previous life, I didn’t even have an ID card!
Philip saw Du Wei's expression. Although Du Wei didn't say who the "no" was referring to, most of the people in the room knew that the future duchess must be the innocent and lovely female magician.
.
Philip smiled and said: "My lord, I did not say that I want you to get married immediately. After all, as a duke, how can you have a hasty marriage? Even if a wedding is to be held, Count Raymond and Countess must be removed from Luo Lin.
Just invite Pingyuan. You can’t do it in a hurry. What I mean is...there is no need to get engaged. Set up the marriage first, spread the news to the outside world, and let everyone know that you are already the one...well, you and I used to
What's the name of that word I said... By the way, the precious flower already has an owner! Is that what you say?"
Du Wei gave a bitter smile and said angrily: "It's 'Famous flowers have owners'."
"Yes, that's right. Even famous flowers have their owners." Philip said with a smile: "I have been with you for a long time, and I am really a little impatient. The sentences you usually say are very reasonable to me.
of."
Du Wei sighed: "You mean, let me get engaged?"
"It's an engagement. Let's hold an engagement ceremony first. It doesn't need to be too large, but we can invite all the well-known people in the northwest to be present, and announce the news to the outside world... Hehe. First of all. I want to pay attention to you now.
I'm afraid it's not just the royal family, but also the Liszt family, and many wealthy families in the imperial capital. Once this news comes out, it will at least stop many families from thinking about it, and you will save a lot of trouble. Secondly, to be honest,
Miss Vivian has always lived in the Duke's Mansion. Although she and you are nominally the disciples of the same teacher, after all, you and her are both adults. Living together without status will lead to gossip after a long time.
.”
Someone next to him shook his head, and Dardaniel was the first to wonder: "But in this way, even if the Duke gets engaged, the royal family may not give up! Besides, according to the imperial code, as a Duke, you can only have one Duchess.
, but it didn’t say that you are not allowed to marry another woman. As a noble, it is normal to have several wives. However, if the emperor, um, no, is the regent, he must marry his sister to the duke, the status of the royal princess
Press it down, the title of Duchess must belong to her! I, Dardanelle, like this girl Vivian very much. She alone has no one to rely on in the world except the Duke. If the princess marries
When she came over, her position as a wife was robbed, and it was too pitiful for her!"
Philip smiled softly: "General Dardanelle, don't worry. This is the third benefit I want to say! The third benefit of being engaged to Miss Vivian... is that, regardless of the Duke or any other woman,
Even if we are engaged, the royal family can still force the princess to us adults! But only Vivian, no one can compete with her for the title of the Duchess's wife! Don't forget, our Miss Vivian
What’s the background!”
He had a gentle smile on his face, but he immediately alerted the big bosses in the room.
Yes! What is Vivian’s identity?
Disciple of Gandolf, the No. 1 magister in the mainland! Among other things, there are several old monster-level people in the Magic Guild, and they are nominal senior brothers with Vivian!
And Vivian herself is a genuine eighth-level magician!
An eighth-level great magician has a much nobler status than ordinary nobles! What’s more, Vivian is still young. It will not be unusual for her to advance to the ninth level in the future! The royal family will never be willing to offend someone rashly.
He is the future strongest person in the mainland! What’s more, this strong person also has several old monster brothers with extraordinary strength and great influence?
"Even facing Mrs. Lister, the princess can steal the position of the head wife. But the best thing about Master Vivian is that she is not a noble, but a magician! The magician's transcendent status makes the princess not even think about it.
I have the nerve to argue with her. Since I can't argue with her, then with the princess's identity and status, if she can't become the main wife, then she can't condescend to be the Duke's little wife. Otherwise, the royal family will lose face... It's really wonderful.
Very good! Very wonderful!" Longbottom laughed, then walked up and patted Du Wei on the shoulder: "I said, boss, what are you waiting for? Hurry up to the garden to pick a handful of flowers and find Weiwei.
Go and propose to that little girl!"
Du Wei was ridiculed by these unscrupulous "uncles" for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, I'm afraid this is indeed the best way...
Moreover, I originally liked Vivian very much. Proposing to her was not an outrageous thing.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and walked out.
To be continued...
