The situation is not good.

Carloman fell into deep thought. Judging from the situation just now, it is very likely that Turpin Zhizhi chose to help Charles—this is obviously not good news for Carloman.

He was also called by the injustice before, so he asked for some words. For example, about the division of real estate, and who can be trusted, and who is worth taking advantage of.

The latter words did give Carloman a lot of insight. Relying on his fairly good memory, he managed to memorize the names that Pepin III said. Although it was half an hour later, I forgot some of them and couldn't remember them all. But Carloman feels that since 2 he has written at least 60% of it. As for the rest, he may have some impression after seeing the name. that's enough.

In fact, his memory was not that bad in the first place. But the problem is. What Pepin said to him at the beginning caught his attention.

"Although Charles' talent and Zhigang are stronger than yours, but you are officially born in wedlock, so I decided to give you 60% of the land. But after all, Charles is the eldest son, so let him go first."

Bu Ping Shi said: "Your land cannot be entangled or divided, but should be as neat as a knife cutting through the inner row. In this case, no matter what Charles chooses, he can only own 40% of the land. You are richer.

"As for the division of the land, I will hand it over to Tuping's supervisor to ensure that the division is even and fair."

uniform? fair?

Carloman snorted coldly. Since childhood, others have seen clearly that Yi Bu Ping III is obviously partial to Charles as the eldest son.

Tupin Zhizhi has been with Charles since twenty-five years ago, teaching the three-year-old Charles until he was twenty-two. Along with him, Alford, a distant relative of King Will, was taught by Tupin. Charles' distant relative, the heroic Roland, and Oliver, the only son of the Frankish University native and current Archbishop of the Frankish Diocese.

All three of them are very brave or very brave. When Charles was twenty-two, they were sent by Pepin III to the western frontiers to suppress those Spanish refugees who had begun to be dishonest again-the rebels who had frequently raised rebellions from the time of Augustus, and even earlier, the time of Alexander. Thieves, the habitual rebellion is still going on today. This is also because of their poor land and lack of water resources. The Spanish regions are mountainous and hilly. The plain area is narrow, and there are two dry plateaus in the middle, and the grain output is scarce. That's what it means to say that there are many troublesome people in poor mountains and bad waters.

Although they have been conquered and suppressed by the Gothic Kingdom in the south for more than two hundred years, they are still rich in bandits and pirates. And a mercenary army of wanted criminals.

These people don't care that Goth and Frank have signed a peace treaty or something. For them, the Gothic border is easy to plunder, so they go back to the Gothic border, and the Frankish border is easy to plunder. Anyway, the regular soldiers on both sides crossed the border, and these hooligans jumped left and right on the border, pretending to disturb .

And three years after Charles arrived in Spain, he planned to encircle and wipe out all these refugees. Because of this, his reputation not only rose in Frank, but even the Goths knew that Frank had a great prince. At that time, Carloman had just received three years of education as a supervisor. He hasn't even been able to leave Ye Yashen yet. Not to mention making contributions.

- He himself received the teaching of the supervisor when he was eleven years old, and Turpin neither taught him the wisdom of governing the country and controlling people's hearts, nor taught him riding and swordsmanship. Every day, what he studies is useless and boring knowledge such as geography, history, machinery and architecture.

It is impossible for him to become a craftsman, and he will never become an architect! What use is this knowledge to him?

Even more so with geography and history. In the future, he will definitely have supervisors or bachelors to assist him, and he can just ask as he needs.

Carloman has repeatedly hinted that Turpin is conscious. He will not be a bachelor in the future. Not to be a priest. What he wants to learn is more practical knowledge—Roman believes that even knowledge of military theory and formation of troops is always more useful than astronomy and geography.

But Tupin ignored his hint. Even quarreled with him many times. In less than four years of teaching him, Prince Charles and his three gallant squires made their triumphant return from the frontier.

That is, Carloman realized. Both Benping III and Tuping Zhizhi preferred Charles as the eldest son. Carloman believes that Charles' excellence is not unreasonable. Charles had nineteen years of education from the age of three—Caroman had only three. If he could take the same nine years, he too could be as strong and wiser as Charles, if not better!

But they were not even willing to give Carloman a chance—although Charles could only take 40% of the land, since he picked it first, Charles would definitely pick the richest 40% and leave him the poorer 60%. become!

Ten catties of iron cannot be more valuable than one catty of gold. In the face of quality, what can the size of the land determine? .

What's more, if the land is too big, he can't manage it. No matter how big the country is, he still lives in that castle. Carloman couldn't see how the country's larger land would affect him. But whether the land is fertile or the climate is pleasant, you can really feel it. The key is. Roman didn't think Turpin would divide the land fairly and equitably.

Cutting the national scholars is not cutting the pudding. How big is 40%, and how big is 60%? And what if Tuping requires five or five points in intelligence? He wouldn't even teach himself knowledge fairly, so how could he distribute the land to himself?

So Carloman decided to strike first.

A year ago, he heard that his mother would prepare a mysterious poison, which was colorless and odorless, and would not trigger the magic warning to detect poison. There are rumors that it is because of this esoteric knowledge that he secretly sent an inconspicuous attendant of his to steal a copy from the queen mother's room while the father and queen mother were hunting, and he quickly Find an opportunity to execute the servant. Now, no one in Frank knows that Carloman has this poison. Originally, he planned to give Charles some wine or barley drink when he entered the door, and let him drink first. Then invite him to dinner. Put the poison in the food. In this case, Charles must have no vigilance, and he will be poisoned by himself.

As a result, he did not expect that Turpin and Charles actually came back together. Did Turpin know the poison too?

Carloman is concerned.

Thinking about how Xiang can bypass Tuping and poison Charles without leaving any traces. Moreover, Tuping must not be hurt, otherwise the ten carts of gold and spices that the Pope had agreed with him would definitely be gone. If he kills Charles, then he is the sole heir. Tuping can only serve himself. Serve as your own supervisor and teach your children some useful knowledge from an early age. Instead of fooling yourself with some useless junk like Nian.

Then it will prove that one who can be king of the Franks,

"Caroman? Are you in the room? Just then, Carloman heard Beltrada's knock on the door.

So Carloman's eyes lit up immediately

There is a way.
