Cleopatra's face turned cold and she reprimanded with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Matt, you have grown up. If you are always so irritable and don't have any courage and patience, then you are waiting to be severely stepped on by your other brothers. Come on! When someone else succeeds to the throne of emperor, they may take the head off your neck at any time! Humph, please remember, don’t show your emotions on your face at any time, and don’t let others know your true attitude And ideas! Hidden dragons in the abyss, hidden in the invisible, can only take advantage of the wind and rain to rise up. "
The seventh prince, Matt Louis, obediently obeyed his mother's instructions and quickly shut his mouth. Although there was a lot of confusion and confusion in his eyes, he suppressed it for the time being.
Cleopatra's expression softened and became gentler. She was very satisfied with this aspect of Matt Louis, that is, he believed in her and was willing to follow her arrangements.
As for his other biological son, Chris Louis, Cleopatra doesn't like him at all. Chris Louis is incompetent and arrogant. He looks down on everyone and cannot listen to any of his mother's opinions.
Cleopatra looked up at the Imperial Palace in the distance and explained: "Matt, I just said that if you all fight for it, you will end up in vain and take advantage of those three brats. Some Sometimes, when you take a step back for some things, another world will appear. Since others are trying to grab it, if you give up on your own initiative, it will leave a deep impression on your father. Only by letting your father pay attention to you can you have a chance to perform. To increase your status in your father's heart, this is the principle of fighting without fighting."
The seventh prince suddenly realized that his mother's statement was indeed reasonable. Growing up, he had very few opportunities to meet Louis XIII, and the third prince and others often waited around Louis XIII. In terms of the relationship between father and son, he is far behind. Don't even think about becoming emperor!
"Mother, I understand. But why did you mention the "One Word Nine Cauldrons" thing? My father is the emperor of the empire and a saint of the God of the Universe. Isn't it natural to say "one word and nine cauldrons"? "
Hearing his son's question, Cleopatra showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Your father is the master of that sect!" Can he remove the current prime minister? Does he dare to remove the current prime minister? "
The seventh prince couldn't accept his mother's approach for a while, and said: "But...but...but Duke Pat is very capable! He has steadily increased the strength of the empire and given us a tendency to surpass the Fulo Federation. For. ..Why...why should we remove him!"
Duke Pat has been the prime minister of the Kabasi Empire for a long time, and some people in the private sector and the government have long noticed this phenomenon. Whenever someone raised a question, they would use reasons similar to those given by the Seventh Prince, and then public opinion would be deliberately suppressed.
The surrounding guards and servants had long stayed away from the Seventh Prince and Cleopatra. They are well aware of the dangers of royal affairs, and if they can refuse to listen, they will never listen. Only in this way can they live longer. Otherwise, if you hear something you shouldn’t know one day, you may be silenced for no apparent reason.
Cleopatra felt helpless when she saw that her son's understanding of Pat as the Prime Minister of the Empire was no different from that of ordinary people in the Empire. She was even more convinced of the authenticity of the shocking secret she heard.
"Matt, there are some things that are not convenient to tell you right now. This is also for your safety. In short, you just need to follow my arrangements! I am your biological mother and will not harm you. From now on, we will always be together." "If you make a fuss about this matter, your father will gradually rely on you." Although there is no guarantee that you will quickly surpass the status of those three brats, it will at least allow you to obtain the same qualifications as them. 》.br>
The seventh prince listened to his mother's solemn words and nodded solemnly.
Cleopatra asked the seventh prince to come closer and began to whisper in his ear. As Cleopatra spoke, his expression was sometimes surprised, sometimes happy, sometimes worried, and varied.
After a while, the two separated and went about their own affairs.
In the afternoon, someone came to the Imperial Palace to summon Louis XIII to summon the seventh prince.
When the seventh prince walked out of his prince's residence, he glanced back at his mother Cleopatra who was standing by the window of the hall watching him leave.
Cleopatra gave it to the seventh prince
An encouraging look told him to go to the palace boldly without worrying.
The seventh prince admired this mother deeply. Cleopatra told him in the morning that Louis XIII might summon him soon, so that he could be mentally prepared in advance. Cleopatra also planned several responses for him in advance in order to win the favor of Louis XIII.
Cleopatra looked at the place where the seventh prince disappeared and murmured: "Let the high-level power of the empire be turbulent. Only in troubled waters can we take advantage of the opportunity to fish! Matt, I hope you will not disappoint my expectations."
No one knows what Louis XIII summoned the seventh prince to discuss. Since then, Louis XIII has taken several measures.
First: grant fiefdoms to adult princes, and at the same time grant them the official position of observer in the system where the fiefdom is located. They have the power to make military and political suggestions and observations, but have no decision-making power. The euphemistic name is to allow the princes to observe, learn and cultivate from officials at all levels of the empire. their ability to govern the country.
At the beginning, Prime Minister Pat and Minister of War and Aircraft Donald took the lead in opposing it and refused to implement it on the grounds that there was no such precedent in the empire.
There is indeed no such precedent in the Qabas Empire. In the past, only the crown prince of the empire would be awarded the observership of a certain galaxy. There would be such chaos as Louis XIII, granting the galaxy observership to all adult princes at once. It is simply This is the way to create chaos.
Louis XIII turned around and proposed to make the eldest prince Jason Louis the crown prince, and then let Jason Louis go to a galaxy to observe and learn as a galaxy observer.
Unsurprisingly, Pat and Donald jointly boycotted the establishment of the crown prince on the grounds that the eldest prince had a bad temper and lacked ability to fulfill the title of crown prince.
So Louis XIII took advantage of a court meeting to get angry, accusing someone of being disloyal to the empire and interfering with the education of the empire's heirs, and then he was absent from the court meeting for half a month.
The political situation of the Kabasi Empire suddenly became turbulent, and many middle and low-level officials had no idea why the emperor was angry. The senior officials, who knew a little bit about the situation, felt that the prime minister and the minister of military aircraft had gone too far this time. It is understandable that the emperor wants to train the heirs of the empire. You both say that others are incompetent and do not give others the opportunity to observe and learn. Are you going to let the position of the crown prince of the empire remain vacant forever?
Seeing that public opinion was unfavorable to them and Louis XIII was resolute, Pat and Donald had no choice but to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
Afterwards, both parties resigned, and Louis XIII no longer insisted on supporting the crown prince. Pat and Donald agreed to grant the adult prince the position of galaxy observer.
Second: Louis XIII personally summoned some of the mid-level officers of the empire and selected some capable people to train.
Duke Pat and Earl Donald did not want to have a fierce and obvious conflict with Louis XIII because they were criticized by imperial public opinion when the prince served as a galaxy observer.
Therefore, they adopted a temporary avoidance attitude towards Louis XIII's attempt to cultivate direct relatives in the Imperial Army to ease the conflict between the two parties. The two were confident that no matter how many people Louis XIII attracted in the army, they could eventually win them to their side.
These two measures were nothing at first, but slowly produced unexpected miraculous effects.
After the princes became galaxy observers, although they had no decision-making power, God knew whether they would inherit the throne of emperor in the future, so many middle- and lower-level officials from the galaxy began to actively gather around them and become their confidants.
In this way, these princes who serve as galaxy observers have no actual power on the surface, but they can command many forces behind the scenes.
Suddenly, many princes each had their own actual power, and some princes even controlled part of the imperial fleet.
Originally, the Pat Donald faction in the empire was the only political faction that opposed the imperial power. It was broken up and turned into a situation where the Pat Donald faction and many princes each led a group of heroes.
Pat-Donald's group felt that something was not right, and wrote to Louis XIII demanding that the princes' galaxy observers be removed, otherwise the empire might be in chaos.
In fact, Louis XIII did not expect that things would develop like this!
Especially the eldest prince Jason Louis. Because he is the eldest son, according to the imperial tradition, he will inherit the throne of emperor in the future, so he is appointed as the Galaxy Observer. There are many successors, all of whom want to achieve the feat of following the dragon.
The other princes were not willing to lag behind and worked hard to develop their power to prevent others from being liquidated after ascending to the throne.
Louis XIII also realized the seriousness of the problem. He had just entered old age and could live for another thousand or two thousand years. He did not want to abdicate others early, not even his own son.
When I remembered that the person who came up with this bad idea was the Seventh Prince, I became very angry. I felt that the bastard son had deceived me.
Just when Louis XIII was about to issue an edict to reprimand the seventh prince, the seventh prince actually took the initiative to return to Trantor from the vassal planet and entered the palace. He voluntarily resigned from his position as galaxy observer and promised to settle on Trantor from then on without the emperor's order. He will no longer return to his own feudal planet.
In fact, this means voluntarily giving up the hard-won power, voluntarily confining himself, and once again becoming an ordinary prince with no power.
If Louis XIII began to value the Seventh Prince when the Seventh Prince proposed the "One Word" and the strategy to break the situation, then now that he heard the Seventh Prince say this, his regard for the Seventh Prince increased a little more.
A prince who has the ability to know how to advance and retreat is a blessing and a blessing to the royal family. The emperor has no reason to ignore his existence.
