When Dooling and the girl went out on a date this afternoon, margus was not idle. He talked with some old friends about Dooling.
"Are you sure you can make him move in the direction you want?" Barr yawned in an art sofa. His sudden fatigue made him sleepy. Then he explained a little and complained that his private time was disturbed, "usually I should take a nap at this time..."
Maggs smiled and didn''t speak. He and Barr have been old friends for many years. They have known each other since they were only in their teens. It''s very rare that they have maintained a good relationship over the years.
The friendship between nobles has never had a shelf life. The two families of several generations may choose to go to war because of the distribution of interests, or the two families that have been hostile for a long time may become new partners because of their collusion in some aspects. There are few aristocrats who can maintain their friendship for decades like MARGES and Barr.
Interest is the main melody in aristocratic society, friendship is not.
There are two other people in the room, one in his fifties and the other in his sixties. They are all of MARGES''s peers and basically aristocrats born in the same era. At this time, they all look at MARGES.
It''s what margus has been trying to introduce Turin into the aristocratic circle. Although he is unwilling to admit it, it''s undeniable that Turin is really excellent as a young man. The key is that he didn''t have any resources and really started from scratch. Whether he used glorious means in this process or not, at least he is up now. If he was given more resources at the beginning, could he do better?
It is obvious that Dooling is a young man who can seize and take advantage of opportunities.
On this basis, he also has this great ambition as his driving force.
As early as seven or eight months ago, after Turin rejected MARGES'' proposal to introduce him into the aristocratic circle, MARGES''s first idea was to find Turin''s fatal weakness and hang him on the execution platform. Once the current group of leaders of the empire can control the situation, and the politicians who are truly loyal to the Empire are old and dead, few of the new generation of successors can confront Dooling head-on.
Durin''s climate has begun to take shape. Let him continue to develop for 20 or 30 years. When they die of old age, those people may not be able to suppress durin''s ambition.
The reason why he doesn''t dare to move now, in fact, he knows very well that he is too young and weak in the face of this empire. Disorderly showing his ambition and desire will only make him exit early.
But when he becomes stronger and has more powerful and unshakable power in his forties and fifties, he may really be able to do things that startle the world, whether quietly turning the empire into a toy in his palm or gaining power through more brutal means.
So Maggs made a plan at that time. When the general election began, he won Dooling and didn''t give him a chance to turn over. He will not leave a huge hidden danger to the successor of the Empire, and then create some stupid plans to test whether the successor is really qualified. This is not what a qualified politician should do.
Any danger should be nipped out in the bud that can be controlled. Leaving trouble to future generations is actually a sign of incompetence, because they can''t do it themselves and have to excuse themselves. Of course, this is definitely not implying anyone. After all, the world has entered a great new era.
Maggs'' evaluation of Dooling is very pertinent. If this bastard is willing to play according to the rules of the game, he will become a leader in the new generation. As long as he is dedicated to the prosperity of the Empire, he may not have the day when he will master the scepter in the future. But if this bastard does everything for his own selfish desires, let him go to hell!
Dugu Lin''s timely change was also unexpected to MARGES. He thought that Dugu Lin would realize the problems when approaching the general election. Unexpectedly, he found these problems at least a year in advance and then changed his position.
This also shows that Dooling is excellent. He has a keen sense of danger.
At this time, what MARGES discussed with several old friends here is whether to bring Turin into the aristocratic circle. If they don''t agree, Turin''s plan will be over. Only when they all agree, can Turin really cross the threshold.
After thinking for a while, he said, "it shouldn''t be a problem for me to live another ten years. In this ten years, as long as Turin doesn''t do anything detrimental to the interests of the Empire, he will soon be assimilated by us. Of course, we also need to make some changes in policy to make him recognize us."
"There are not many young people in this group who can surpass Turing in political and personal ability. We also need to consider another situation. If there is no Turing, can our successors ensure the security of the Empire and the current system like us?"
Magus''s words really have profound meaning. There are too many outstanding representatives of Yaoxing empire in their generation. It is precisely because of their existence that Yaoxing empire''s national strength has been continuously enhanced and its status in the world has been continuously raised. What will happen to the Empire once this group of elite rulers who can be said to have died in one or two hundred years, their successors are not good enough, and even it is difficult to defend Chengdu?
We should not be optimistic about the future because of the current situation. The international situation is constantly changing. Today, everyone should maintain a respectful attitude towards the Empire. Maybe someone will come forward tomorrow to challenge the authority of the Empire.
In addition, there is a federation around them. These small businessmen who linger on the day will never die to kill our empire. Once they find the opportunity, they will never be merciful. At that time, the Empire did not have three or five strong enough people to suppress the situation, and the situation would become very dangerous.
They have enjoyed a glorious life and always have to leave a guarantee for future generations and the future.
Of course, this does not mean that we can''t do without Turin. In the past years, every period has been the same without Turin, but people always want to pursue the best. Turin is a person with great potential. No one can ignore his short ten-year development process from scratch. When he entered the city from the countryside that year, he was only a half-year-old boy. Now he has developed to the peak of his personal power. If such a person gives him a bigger stage, he will have greater achievements.
Barr said a disappointing word at this time, "what if you die?"
Margus lost his smile, "No one can look after this country and those young successors forever. Even the Lord will die, not to mention us. As for what the world will look like after our death, it has little to do with us. We have given them the best foundation, but they can''t grasp it. Even if the country is destroyed one day, they deserve it."
What about the guart Dynasty, which was so powerful that the whole world trembled? The former king led ten heroes to sweep the whole northern continent under the glory of the gods. No one can resist the edge of the guart people. Countless temples will be burned and countless foreign races will be enslaved. The former king and ten heroes have made the best start for the guart Dynasty. They have tried their best, but their successors are not What are the ways to work hard?
Just like the ogding people, they had a nightmare start, but they won. They gained freedom from the guards, and then almost unified the whole continent step by step. Of course, in the history book, the ogding people unified the whole continent. All the effects, including the alliance at that time, expressed submission, and some small countries accepted the Royal canonization.
But now, what?
"The times will always move forward and will not look back. We can only do our best now. As for the future, it''s their business!"
After considering for a long time, the other three gave an agreed reply. Dooling is indeed the most potential but also the most dangerous young man. Margus is confident that he can turn him around and turn him from a person who is dangerous to the Empire to a person who will guard the Empire risk in the future. Then they don''t have to worry about this problem.
Magus can do it. Whether Dooling is suitable and how to test the final results are the things of those people in the future. They have left the strongest shield, but if these people turn the shield into the sharpest spear to kill themselves, it is not their fault.
In this world, there is nothing without risks and huge benefits, which has never been.
With such a foundation, Dooling passed an invisible "exam". Maybe he guessed that he would choose MARGES as a breakthrough.
In fact, it''s like a farce. The official propaganda of the empire is that the destiny of the country is in the hands of every citizen, but sometimes the truth is always so unexpected. The destiny of the empire is always in the hands of a few people. How can power be controlled by ignorant civilians?
In the evening, when MARGES came home, Turin had been waiting for him for a while. Turin was talking with MARGES''s wife about cooking. It could be seen that MARGES''s wife was very interested. She also took a small book to record some top secret recipes that Turin said. It seemed that she intended to use these things in practice.
He glanced at Dooling with a headache. He wondered if his wife would make some terrible food for him with those unreliable things. He loved his wife very much, so it was almost impossible to refuse to taste the carefully made snacks. This was definitely a disaster!
He coughed, "follow me, let''s talk for a while," and then walked quickly to the study.
