Chapter 353 The Shortcut to Destruction
It was a very good thing that Ladislaus saw that this over-enthusiastic receptionist must be on to something, and couldn't help but feel very satisfied.
Although he is here to seek benefits, it is not certain whether he can open up the situation.
If after crossing the border, no force takes the initiative to contact him, Ladislaus will never forcefully intervene. "Creating opportunities even if there are no opportunities" is sometimes a manifestation of firm determination, and sometimes it is actually stupid and reckless.
It's the best thing to open the situation so smoothly.
Although the person who came to contact him was slightly different from what he expected.
"My father will hold a grand celebration banquet for you in the city of Venice." Ladislaus originally thought that the consul would greet him outside, but he did not expect that he would just invite him to the city of Venice. This seemed to be mentioned by the younger brother.
The gap in greetings at the border is a bit big.
Ladislaus originally thought that this young man came on behalf of his father, but after considering this attitude and hearing the whole story, it seemed that this was not the case.
According to Prince Gorrity, because he did not unreasonably refuse Austria's legitimate request for transit, he was recently shamelessly framed and violently attacked by a group of despicable members of the Assembly of the Republic of Venice who colluded with the Kingdom of France.
Then his father, the Consul Goriti, betrayed him mercilessly. Not only did he remain indifferent to the siege he was under, he even drew a clear line with him and made him bear all responsibilities.
"In the past month, I have deeply felt that the prosperity of the Warlock Royal Family is closely related to my personal safety. During those days when the French army was at its peak, my life was really precarious." Little brother Riti said this sad moment.
The days of hesitation gradually
Gradually, he couldn't control himself, "It was really precarious. At that time, I could be exiled at any time and anywhere for such terrible crimes as dereliction of duty and liaison with foreign countries. They wanted to throw me to the New World, which is full of ignorance and barbarism."
place."
In fact, Ladislaus felt that what the congressmen said was quite good. Although there was no such thing as "liaison with foreign countries", the charge of "neglect of duty" was appropriate.
It's pretty good that a political struggle of this level could end in exile. If your father hadn't been secretly protecting you, it would have been impossible to understand it so easily.
"You are worried too much. Consul Gritius has great prestige in your country and will definitely protect you." Ladislaus was not purely comforting.
Sure enough, he heard the answer he wanted: "Your Highness the Cardinal Archbishop, you don't know this. My father is also very dissatisfied with me. He is a consul and wants to protect me with all his strength. Why am I like this?"
The situation is precarious, he wants to use me as a scapegoat, I am his biological son."
"This shouldn't be the case. After all, you are the only son of the Consul Goriti." After the eldest son died in the hands of Hayreddin. This was the most important basis of mutual trust between Goriti and his son. Even if they were exiled, only the elder brother would
If there is no problem with the inheritance of the Riti family, then they can always return to the upper echelons of power. This is the rule of the game in the Republic of Venice.
But after Ladislaus said these words, Little Brother Liti actually ignored the presence of Frundsberg and several guards, and burst into tears in an extremely rude manner.
"I thought I was the only son left, and my father wanted to save me no matter what. Unexpectedly, he had a son with a pagan woman when he was an ambassador in Constantinople. He wanted this son
Inherit the family business." In fact, Little Brother Riti has always known about the existence of this half-brother, but never took it seriously. Although the Republic of Venice does not care about diplomats and pagans having a romantic relationship, pagans are still not considered in political life.
If you accept it, it will be useless even if you change your religion.
Ladislaus naturally knew the rules of the Republic of Venice, so he was a little surprised: "More than four-fifths of your parliament are followers of His Majesty the Merchant Friend, and there are very few believers of the Dark Sun. In fact, they are very popular.
Great oppression, is your brother planning to give up his belief in Demogorgon? But even so, naturalized people can only barely survive. They are naturally at a disadvantage politically. What are you afraid of? And I guess your father doesn't either.
If you would do this, it would be too dangerous for the Goriti family."
Even an incompetent believer of the true God is at an advantage over a talented devil worshiper, and he will receive help from the entire society.
"I've always thought so. I didn't expect that my father actually planned to transfer most of the Goriti family's property to the Ottoman Empire, leaving only a few scraps for me."
So that's it, but even though the Republic of Venice and the Ottoman Empire have the closest relationship among all the true gods of Europe. However, it is still not a simple matter to transfer property. Ladislaus is convinced that Old Gorriti is probably just
The plan is to give the son a large amount of money for development. Other property, political resources and family connections must be left to the younger brother.
However, the young master Goriti in front of him obviously could not accept this prospect. Partly because of his anger at losing his property, and partly because of the suspicion between father and son, he lost the insight of a bystander.
"Now that his son has been favored by Sultan Suleiman and has become a high official in the Ottoman Empire, he looks down on me even more. Your Highness, you must save me."
"Please rest assured that true God believers should help each other. Our Habsburg family will never allow pagans to bully true God believers." However, Ladislaus had no intention of mediating the conflict between father and son. The reason why he chose to leave from Venice
The purpose of passing through the Republic is to take advantage of the great victory and intervene in the internal struggle of the Republic of Venice.
Seeking interests for oneself, I just don’t know if little Goriti has enough rewards and internal responses. “It’s just that the Consul Goriti has just taken back the Islia area captured by Hungary, and his prestige must be on the rise. I don’t know.
Are there any nobles in the Republic of Venice who are willing to speak for you impartially?"
"Our family's property is considered a large amount of money in the entire Republic of Venice. It is true that many members of the Congress are dissatisfied with my father's move to transfer property, thinking that it weakens the country. But as you said, they dare not do it in our country."
You went against your father when he was at the height of his prestige." Although little brother Liti has only been in power for a short time, he should still be able to cultivate some allies and minions through his father's power.
"Do you have any friends in the military? As long as there is force, I guess your life safety is not a problem." Ladislaus calmly raised the matter from property distribution to a life-and-death contest.
Most of the time this is indeed the same thing. "You must be careful, for the sake of power and money, brothers, fathers and sons are unreliable."
Although he didn't know that Ladislaus was provoking him, Master Goriti couldn't help but feel extreme fear. He couldn't drink the wine, couldn't sleep with the beauties, and he didn't want such a beautiful life to end like this.
.
"I have friends in the city defense army, and I have always been in charge of our family's private army."
"What are you afraid of?" Ladislaus was even more convinced that Consul Gritius still placed his hope on this son, but this was a good thing for Ladislaus.
"This is too dangerous. Without the favor of my father, to control the private soldiers may cause unexpected disasters at any time. This is really too dangerous." Ladislaus said something completely opposite to what was in his heart. "Let's do this.
, I have an old friendship with your father, no matter what, let him sell me a favor and let you be the ambassador in Vienna. If there are still people who want to eliminate the roots after you give in, I will try my best to protect you. "
The words 'eliminate the roots' made little brother Riti sweat profusely. He hesitated for several minutes and finally said the question Ladislaus wanted to hear: "Is there any other way? Just hurt me.
, I really can’t let go of my children.”
The second son, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, was originally just going to be a rice bug, but his father forced him into a position that he was not suitable for, and then gave him a heavy responsibility without careful polishing. This is really a shortcut to destroying the family.
