0498: Don't Push Too Hard.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, in the city of Lance in the South Park.
On the main avenue in the city, there are constantly noble carriages heading to the castle of Lance City.
Inside the dining room of the castle.
The second prince, Kao, sat at the head seat, with a pair of gloomy golden eyes, slowly scanning the nobles on the dining table.
The decoration of the restaurant is very simple, there is a long table that can seat ten people in the middle, and a set of cutlery is placed in front of each person.
The second is tonight's dinner, grilled lamb chops with some potatoes, nothing else, it's really - limited ingredients in winter.
On the left side of the long table is a blazing fireplace with many animal heads hanging on it.
More than a dozen maids stood in the corner of the restaurant, waiting for orders from the prince and nobles.
The Duke of Carme sat on the right side of the restaurant, which was the most honorable position next to the main seat.
He is very welcome to the arrival of his nephew, the family of the Duke of Carme has been worse than one generation after another.
Ever since the Duke of Kame learned that Emperor Opai had passed away and that his nephew Kayo had been wronged, he knew that the opportunity had come.
The Duke of Carme wants to support his nephew to the throne, so that their family will return to the center of power.
He always disagreed with his father's idea, but he had to retire in South Garden even though he was a duke.
Duke Carme felt that the big nobles should live in the imperial capital, and they should fight for power with those nobles.
"I'm very happy that you can come to the banquet tonight." The second prince Kayo raised his glass with a smile.
He looked at the nobles at the dining table and said loudly, "South Garden will not be a place to restrain us, but a place to achieve us.
The second prince, Kayo, didn't wait for everyone to respond, and quickly said, "I plan to wait until spring, and then go back to the imperial capital to take back what belongs to me."
Kayo didn't like the group of nobles in front of him. According to intelligence, the nobles who came to the banquet tonight were not cheap.
They are very good at using the resources in their hands to negotiate terms. If they didn't need the knights of these nobles, they would definitely not invite these nobles to the banquet.
"Your Highness, Second Prince, I heard that the Eldest Prince is trying to win over the nobles. What are our chances of winning?" a marquis asked with raised eyebrows.
He is a nobleman with a relatively high status in South Park except for the Duke of Carme, and he is also an old nobleman.
"That's right, if we have no chance of winning, I think we should bear it a little longer." Another marquis quickly echoed.
He also received information from the imperial capital, and there were not a few nobles that the eldest prince had wooed.
"Stayed in South Garden for so long, have you made yourself stupid?" Duke Carme turned his face to look at the two marquises.
He drank the wine in his glass, and said in a rough voice, "If you are as timid as you are, then you will never be able to get promoted for the rest of your life.
Duke Carme is a straightforward person and also very ambitious. He was very dissatisfied with the speeches of the two marquises.
He originally thought that this group of nobles would support the second prince, but he didn't expect that all of them were weighing the pros and cons.
"Although Tyon has recruited quite a few nobles, our knights in the South Garden are not soft-footed shrimp.
The voice of the second prince Kayo suddenly turned cold, he put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice, "As long as we are united, the chances of winning are still great."
He had been investigated a long time ago, and the total number of knights from the nobles that the eldest prince had recruited was about the same as the number of knights he could gather in the South Garden.
Even if the eldest prince can use his power to recruit soldiers, the second son can also use coins to recruit soldiers in South Garden, Beigang or Xiqiu.
Xiqiu is next to the South Garden, and there is only a mountain range between the two. It takes a little time to buy strong slaves from Xiqiu.
The second prince Kao slowly looked up at the nobles present, and said loudly, "If you can regain the throne, I will promise you that each nobleman can get at least ten cities...
He said a lot in one breath, but almost all of them were empty cakes. Only in this way can those nobles be willing to work for him.
The worst of the nobles in front of him are earls, and they have a lot of wealth in South Garden, so they can only bleed a little.
"We are willing to follow His Highness the Second Prince to regain the former glory." All the nobles shouted in unison.
Duke Carme nodded in satisfaction after listening, thinking that his charisma is still useful.
The second prince Kao turned his head slightly, looked at his uncle with grateful eyes, and knew in his heart that this was all due to the influence of Duke Cameron.
0 looking for flowers...
"By the way, Your Highness, did you say that Tianji had been pretending to be sick that day?" Duke Carme asked suddenly.
The second prince Kayo's face darkened again when he heard this, and his hand holding the wine glass tightened again and again.
He took a big sip of wine in dissatisfaction, and said angrily, "That guy... is really damned."
It has been a long time since James came back from Beigang, and he told the second prince what happened to him in Hailan City, including the meeting with Pete.
"Your Highness, I think it's better not to press too hard, so as not to push him to the side of the eldest prince." Duke Carme frowned slightly and said worriedly.
The current situation is very embarrassing, and you have to pay attention to skills in attracting nobles. If you don't pay attention, it is equivalent to making a wedding dress for the eldest prince.
"Then I'll deal with this guy after I ascend the throne of God." The second prince Kayo's eyes flashed a murderous intent.
He intends to take advantage of his power to take over Qiao Ji's property after ascending to the throne of the Great Emperor, and finally take care of him.
"Your Highness, I know some good news, because the family has already gone to the western territory." A well-informed Marquis said.
The second prince Kao's eyes lit up when he heard this, put his hands on the table, and said in surprise, "Tion is too cruel, even Duke Yuwu didn't like him."
He laughed halfway, regained his senses, looked at the Marquis, and asked, "Can we win Duke Yuwu?"
"Unfortunately, Your Highness, forgive me for inviting Duke Yuwu in your name, but he also failed to take the shot." Duke Kame said suddenly.
Since returning to Xiqiu, Duke Yuwu has already ordered him to go down to see no guests, and he gave Qiao Ji a reason.
Since the second prince Kao came to the South Park to express his intention, Duke Kame sent people to pay attention to the whereabouts of Duke Yuwu.
Some time ago, after getting Duke Yuwu to go to the Xiqiu territory, he asked the messenger to find him in the name of the second prince.
"Damn it." The second prince Kayo slapped the table dissatisfied.
His teeth were gritted with anger, even if he ascended to the throne, he would definitely give priority to Qiao Ji and the Yuwu family.
