Chapter 411: The worries of the 4 great nobles

Remember [New] in a second! The coronation ceremony is only the part of the whole coronation ceremony that attracts the most attention from the public, and there will be a grand banquet for important people at home and abroad afterwards.

Sharlayan was not very interested in those same-size pleasure banquets, but this banquet was different, and the new king Kael'thas would announce some important news at the banquet.

Kael'thas and Anasteria had to return to the royal court first to change out of the heavy dresses they wore.

After that, the old king who has abdicated will not attend the banquet again.

Anasterian is not someone who can't afford to take things up and let them go. Now that he has officially resigned, he has handed everything over to Kael'thas, so that he can take care of himself for the rest of his life.

The Sun King will not participate in the first half of the banquet, which is a time for the representatives of various countries and the dignitaries of Quel'Thalas to build relationships with each other.

Sharlayan was still not interested in this kind of banquet communication as usual.

After a brief exchange with Uncle Welles and Baron Sangunar and other nobles, he walked out of this familiar banquet hall alone, and came to the small garden on the side of the hall like last time.

"Uh~"

Just like last time, someone from the small garden has come first.

But this time it wasn't Cirvanas, but four people who surprised Sharlayan.

'Calpurnia, Solanian, Matis... and who is there? '

Calpurnia and Solanlian are both members of the Silver Moon Councilor, while Matis is a rising star of the Flaming Eagle Legion, and will succeed as the legion leader sooner or later.

The above three people have one characteristic in common, they are all the outstanding young generation of the four great nobles.

Then, the origin of the fourth young man whom Sharlayan didn't know became obvious. Obviously, he was also a member of the four great nobles.

Seeing the four noble young talents who turned their heads to look at him at the same time, Sharlayan narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't believe that it was just a coincidence that these four people gathered here neatly.

‘Waiting for me here on purpose? '

It is not difficult to find news that Sharlayan does not like banquets. The last time he had a "tryst" with Cirvanas in the small garden, not many people knew about it, but it was not a big secret.

As long as you are willing to inquire, it is not difficult to obtain such information with the power of the four nobles.

With the supplementary barrage of chatter, Sharlayan guessed the purpose of these four people.

Calpurnia, Solanlian, and Matis are not yet the heads of the four nobles, but with their potential, it is only a matter of time before they gain enough support within the family.

The ones walking in the front are undoubtedly Calpurnia and Solanlian, who gained the trust of Anasteria and entered the Silver Moon Council, and Mathis was slightly behind.

The Flaming Eagle Legion is not a newly formed force like the Morning Vanguard Legion.

Flame Eagle, Fire Wing, Flame Blade, and Sunfury, these four legions are the troops with the largest number of troops and the most elite soldiers in Quel'Thalas.

The Flame Eagle and Fire Wing armies are in the hands of the Flame Eagle and Fire Feather families respectively, while the Flame Blade and Sunfury are under the direct management of the Sunstrider royal family.

As the four nobles bowed their heads to the royal family, the four most elite legions of Quel'Thalas all came under the control of the royal family.

Most of the remaining Yang Yan, Sun Shadow and other medium-sized legions are also in the hands of noble families loyal to the royal family, and only a few small-scale legions have been infiltrated by the old nobles.

Moreover, this was an opening that Anasteria deliberately let go in the early years, in order to prevent the nobles who could not control the military power from jumping over the wall, and using their remaining influence to damage Quel'Thalas' political ecology and people's livelihood and economy.

Sharlayan didn't think those small legions raised by the old nobles could play a role. Since Anasteria dared to let go, it meant that he had already made relevant emergency preparations.

There is an old saying in another world, once the emperor and the courtiers.

Both Calpurnia and Solanlian were promoted by the old king, and whether the new king Kael'thas will continue to use it is still unknown.

The old king admired Mathis's bravery and combat skills, but would Kael'thas, who was used to super-standard fighters like Sharlayan, still trust him?

Today's four major nobles have long lost the courage to challenge the Sunstrider royal family head-on. The civil strife three years ago almost broke their backs.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even now that their power has been weakened, not everyone of the four great nobles can touch porcelain. They still have a lot of influence in Quel'Thalas.

The old king reused the four great nobles after the internal self-examination, on the one hand, he remembered the old feelings, and on the other hand, he kept them to deal with those old nobles with inflated ambitions.

The intelligence gathering capabilities of the four great nobles are definitely not as good as the Sunstrider royal family, which is sitting on the backlight blade, but they also have their own channels to know the direction of the high-level wind in advance.

As the old aristocrats headed by Darkan were cut in half, only Darkan saw the opportunity to cut seats early, and the power of the old aristocrats has long since declined.

The marquis and earls that Sharlayan saw before only inherited the titles of their elders at the mercy of the old king, and their influence and financial resources have shrunk significantly.

In other words, the four nobles used to check and balance the old nobles are not as useful as before.

Kael'thas has not clearly expressed his attitude towards the four nobles so far, which makes them very uneasy. The purpose of finding Sharlayan is to understand Kael'thas' true intentions by insinuating.

The four nobles are not the old nobles who still want to fight to the death. They have long known the weight of Sharlayan in the eyes of Kael'thas.

According to their speculation, Sharlayan should be reused after Kael'thas initially straightened out the government.

As the new king's confidant, he must know a lot of Kael'thas' ruling plans, which may include his attitude towards the four nobles.

Not to mention, Sharlayan really knew, that was what Kael'thas told him in private chats.

Regarding the disposal of the four nobles, Kael'thas has not yet made up his mind. He should continue to maintain the status quo in a short period of time and make adjustments at any time according to subsequent changes in the situation.

The old nobles have indeed lost their power, but there are noble forces in Quel'Thalas.

Don't look at the fact that the nobles are now united and united with the royal family, and they are unanimously targeting the old aristocrats who are not dead.

Once the remnants of the old aristocrats are uprooted by Kael'thas, will the nobles without enemies change their attitudes?

Everything is still unknown.

There is a saying that the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon.

In order to avoid finding a handy check and balance tool in case of accidents, Sharlayan suggested that Kael'thas keep the four nobles, which can be regarded as a conspicuous target for the nobles, so that the two sides can make a deal in Kael'thas. Involve desperately within the big frame.

No one does not want domestic peace, but there will not and cannot be only one voice in any country, even if this voice comes from the royal family.

If you listen to both, you will be bright, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark.

It doesn't matter if you listen to those sycophantic remarks all day long, but no matter how wise a person is, they will inevitably relax after a long time. This is human nature.

Sarlayan hopes to establish a competitor that can be seen in front of them on the premise of ensuring that the two sides will not compete viciously.

Only competition can ensure the rapid development of society. From a long-term perspective, it is beneficial to Quel'Thalas to keep the four nobles.

Although Kael'thas hadn't made his final decision yet, his attitude was clearly inclined to accept Sharlayan's proposal, and the old king had persuaded him about this before he abdicated.

Kael'thas just couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart, which was the psychological shadow left by him before he was forced to go to Dalaran to study abroad.

Thinking of the way his old father was squeezed by the four nobles back then, Kael'thas, who was born as a man, always had an evil fire in his heart that could not be dissipated.

This is something Kael'thas, the king, must figure out for himself.

The two ends of the scale are state affairs and personal grievances. If Kael'thas really wants to become the Zhongxing Mingjun he dreamed of, he must learn to abandon personal relationships and put state affairs first.

But this kind of exhortation to be generous... especially when it involves the humiliation of parents, Sharlayan, who is also a son of man, cannot do it.

In principle, he could understand Kael'thas' mood, but from an objective point of view, Sharlayan hoped that Kael'thas could control his emotions and pass this hurdle smoothly.

Withdrawing his wandering thoughts, Salayan looked at the brown-haired man he didn't know among the four without moving his expression.

"Who is this?"

"Let me introduce it~lightnovelpub.net~ Matis and Sharlayan once had some conflicts. Although it was just a dispute of emotions, it is still a bit embarrassing for him to speak up on his own initiative.

Great astrologist Solanlian has always been taciturn and not good at speaking.

So the introduction job fell on Calpurnia, who is all-round and exquisite.

Calpurnia introduced Sharlayan with a friendly smile: "Earl Deep Shadow, this is the deputy head of the Firewing Legion, Petra Firefeather."

Petra politely bowed to Sare to appease her chest: "It's an honor to 'meet' you here, Earl Deep Shadow."

"A chance encounter...? Heh~ Let's take it like this."

Sharlayan, who had confidence in his heart, smiled calmly: "Since you can guess that I will come here, you should also understand my temper."

"I don't like to beat around the bush, four, please speak up if you have something to say."
