Jacob told Su Cheng as simply as possible that Gozewen secretly summoned Gael and Ilsa a few days ago, and told them that he would replace the crown prince with Ilsa and abdicate early.
"The reason why Gozewen abdicated early was not only because he is old, sick, and does not have enough energy to deal with government affairs, but also because Gozewen wanted His Majesty Ilsa to ascend the throne earlier so that she could put the throne as soon as possible."
Jacob explained to Su Cheng.
"Gozevin ruled the Britannian Empire for decades, and the emperor for decades was not in vain. Even though he is old and seriously ill, his prestige is still there."
"As long as Gozewen is still alive, no one dares to make a rash."
"That is why Gozevin decided to abdicate early, so that His Majesty Ilsa would ascend the throne early, and use his prestige to shock those who were dissatisfied with Ilsa's rule."
"Although Ilsa has successfully ascended the throne now, it does not mean that everything is going well."
"His Highness Gale gave up the position of crown prince and the future throne, but no one knows whether he really gave up this supreme power."
"In order to sit on the throne, father and son, father and daughter, brother, and husband and wife are slaughtering each other, looking at the history of various countries, there are not too many similar stories."
"Even if His Highness Gale is really willing to give up the throne, the younger brothers under His Highness Gale may not be willing."
"After all, His Highness Gale has been the crown prince for decades, with his own sects and fanatical supporters."
"What I worry most now is that His Highness Gael's party members and his fanatical supporters are dissatisfied with Ilsa's rule and want to push His Highness Gael to the throne and make trouble in secret."
The more Jacob spoke, the more he looked solemn.
"This problem is actually very serious. If it is not handled properly, it is very likely to cause extremely serious consequences."
Hearing this, Su Cheng nodded seriously.
Without need of Jacob to explain in detail, Su Cheng also knew how bad the consequences would be if this problem was not handled properly.
"So the most urgent task now is to consolidate and strengthen the power to support His Majesty Ilsa's rule."
Jacob continued.
"Weak those who support His Highness Gale."
"His Highness Gale has been the crown prince for decades, and his gang members have long become a climate, and it is very difficult to deal with them."
"But no matter how difficult it is, I will do it."
Jacob's tone was full of firmness.
"There is not much fancy stuff in politics. There is only one secret: make friends more, make enemies less, and win over everyone who can win over."
"I... or the 'Queen's Sect' now needs friends."
"Su Cheng, are you willing to help me and the Queen?"
Jacob did not say too obscurely or too tactfully.
Because Jacob knew what Su Cheng's answer would be, he didn't need to be too complicated and tactful.
Su Cheng's answer was not as expected by Jacob and did not disappoint Jacob.
Su Cheng sorted out his clothes on his body and then said seriously:
"I'm willing to do my best."
...
...
Without thinking about this issue, Su Cheng decided to turn to the "Empress Sect" unconditionally.
Because whether it is about emotions or reasoning, Su Cheng will choose to turn to the "Empress Sect".
Theory - Ilsa is the new crown prince appointed by Gozewen and the new crown prince of the empire. As a subject, Su Cheng naturally wants to support the legitimate emperor of the empire, and cannot support the "old crown prince" Gail who was deprived of the position of crown prince.
On Love - Before becoming a knight, Su Cheng was Ilsa's teacher and had a deep relationship with Ilsa.
Jacob was also an existence like his biological father. Su Cheng himself could not count how much help Jacob had given him.
Su Cheng has always believed in one thing, that is, if there were no Jacob, there would be no Su Cheng, the current 30th leader of the Knights of Michael and the highest leader of the Northern Front.
In terms of relationships, Su Cheng will definitely choose to help Ilsa and Jacob who have deep feelings for him, rather than helping Gael, who has no much intersection with him.
Since Ilsa ascended the throne, the political situation of the Britannian Empire has been divided into three factions—
The "Jaccarat faction" or "Empress faction" who supported the Queen's rule.
The "Galites" who dislike Ilsa and support the "Galites".
And the "neutral faction" that no one supports and does not get involved.
Long before Ilsa ascended the throne, Jacob began to prepare to suppress the "Galites".
As Jacob and Su Cheng said, the secret of politics is to make more friends, less enemies, and win over everyone who can win over
Jacob attracted everyone who could win over the "Queen Sect".
And Su Cheng happened to be one of the people who were attracted to it.
Su Cheng was originally a close confidant of Jacob. Jacob had firmly believed that he could succeed 100%.
After a secret talk with Su Cheng, the day after Ilsa ascended the throne, Jacob sent Su Cheng to temporarily train the defenders of the imperial capital on the grounds that "the imperial capital has not been trained for a long time."
He also ordered the delay of Su Cheng's return to the North, and the affairs of the Knights of Michael and the Northern Front were temporarily handed over to Willy, deputy commander of the Knights of Michael, for the time being.
This appointment contains a huge amount of information.
Training the defenders responsible for defending the imperial capital - not everyone can do this task. Those who can receive this task are often only trusted by those in power.
Ilsa is currently young and has no ability to handle government affairs. Jacob is the current authority of the empire and the current "acting emperor" of the Britannian Empire.
As soon as the Empress ascended the throne, Jacob, who is currently in power in the empire, sent Su Cheng to do this task that others are not qualified to intervene. It is equivalent to telling everyone in disguise: Su Cheng is my person, a member of the Empress.
He told everyone in disguise: The commander of the Knights of Michael and the highest leader of the Northern Front, the third leader of the imperial military, was a member of the "Empress Sect".
The third in command of the imperial military - how powerful and prestige are there in it, you can imagine.
Jacob announced to everyone that Su Cheng was a member of the "Queen Sect", which immediately shocked many "Galites" and "neutral" people who were not firm in their thinking.
In addition to winning over Su Cheng, Jacob also won over Albert, the leader of the Rachel Knights and the highest leader of the Southern Front.
Albert and Jacob were friends, so Jacob easily helped Albert to join the "Queen Sect".
Jacob also wanted to win over Issel into the "Queen Sect", but he did not succeed.
Issel has always been a firm "neutral".
No matter when, Issel strictly abides by the principle of neutrality and never falls against any faction.
This time is no exception. After Ilsa ascended the throne, Issel did not make any statement, neither expressing support for Ilsa nor supporting Gael.
Although it was a pity that he failed to win over Issel, Jacob was also satisfied with the success of winning over Su Cheng and Albert.
