Finding that the princess had no intention of directly forcing the old king to abdicate, Leon couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but ask: "Since you are not planning to enter the palace, what exactly do you mean by what you 'should do' just now?" "Of course it refers to the order to replace non-commissioned officers and the bill to expand citizens' universal suffrage... Why do you think I want to lead people into the palace?" After being made trouble by Leon, the princess's excitement calmed down a little, and then she sat back in her seat and explained with a complicated expression: "As you said before, no matter what the final result is, what I am doing now is right. After all, only by replacing those non-commissioned officers who are simply incompetent and who rely on their birthplace to get to the position can the corrupt military department be prosperous. respite; The current parliament is basically composed of businessmen. Many members who are not businessmen have received funding from businessmen before being elected. Only by expanding the universal suffrage of citizens can the excessive voice of businessmen in the parliament be diluted... These They are all things that should be done, and we cannot just stop. " So, even if you know that you have been plotted by the old king, are you still ready to get it done? After looking at the princess with some admiration, Leon tentatively said: "What next? What are you going to do next?" And then……
Hearing Leon's question, Princess Veronica couldn't help biting her lip again, and then said helplessly: "Let's take one step at a time... Leon, I'm very confused right now. I've thought about it countless times in the past few years, what should I do if the reform fails to be implemented, or something goes wrong in the process. But I really haven't thought about what to do if my father... if the royal family suddenly turns back, I still need some time to think about it... Anyway, thank you for the reminder. " When she said this, the princess, who had stabilized her mood a lot, first glanced at Leon gratefully, and then sighed with a slightly lonely expression: "In the past, I always thought that as long as I did a good enough job and paved a feasible new way for the kingdom, my father would hand over the throne to me with confidence. After all, although he criticized my ideas, he always supported me. No effort is spared. But now it seems that I may have been eliminated from the beginning. His preferred successor has always been Joshua. After all, if you are not capable, you can still learn. If you are unable to learn, you can still leave it to someone who is capable. And my 'problem' seems to be bigger. For him and the entire royal family, I have some... well... how should I put it..." "You have betrayed the class you were born in, or to put it more bluntly, your butt and the royal family are not on the same page." "Yes...that's pretty much what it means..." After hearing Leon's words, the princess couldn't help but subconsciously moved her plump body and sat on the edge of the chair. Then she nodded helplessly and said: "Yes, that's what it means. To the royal family, I am an alien who betrayed them... But next time I will only say the first half of the sentence. I can almost understand what you want to express... Also, class... …” After thinking about this word carefully, the princess couldn't help but blink her eyes, and then commented with a hint of admiration: "The levels are divided like steps, arranged one step at a time, and then they are clearly distinguishable from each other. It is almost difficult to cross without external force... The word you summarized is really not generally appropriate to describe the current kingdom." "..." Classified like steps... After hearing what the princess said, Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled. I have heard this word many times in my previous life, but mostly I heard it in a confused way and used it in a confused way. This is the first time I have thought about its meaning. After looking at the princess who was bright-eyed and knew the meaning after hearing it for the first time, Leon couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "So...do you want to think about it again?"
? ? ? Hearing Leon's question, the princess couldn't help but blinked in confusion. "What to consider?" "Go back and lead people into the palace, force your father to give up his position, and then..." "You... I'm feeling uncomfortable. Can you stop making trouble?" After hearing what Leon said, the princess said in a dumbfounded voice: "The only official garrison in the royal capital is the palace guard. The only one who is qualified to deploy troops in the royal capital is the king, not even the queen. Even the guards around me were sent to me from there. , Who do you want me to take to the palace? Also, it is the entire royal family that rules the kingdom. What everyone recognizes is the soldiers that the royal family can mobilize, the wealth that the royal family possesses, and the civil servants who sit in the seventeen ministries, are willing to obey the royal orders, and control a large number of kingdom affairs, not The chair that represents the throne. Even if I can really conjure up an army and seize the throne, I may not be able to take over these soldiers, wealth and power, and the nobles will rise up against me immediately. Although the nobility and the royal family are currently at odds, if I really break the rules, the House of Lords will immediately convene a meeting to determine that my throne is invalid and recommend Joshua or other royal family members to come to power. And the businessmen in the House of Commons who pursue stability will probably not agree with a queen who rose to power by breaking the rules... In short, if I really break into the palace, everything will really be over. " "Not necessarily." After patiently listening to the princess's words, Leon thought about it and analyzed it calmly: "Humans are creatures that easily develop habits. The old king has been ill since six years ago. During these six years, you have basically been in charge of many affairs of the kingdom. He only shows up occasionally. The royal party officials in the 17 major departments said that they were loyal to the royal family, but in fact they have been following your orders for the past six years. Many of them, like the military ministers, were simply appointed by you and have become accustomed to following your orders. So your advantage is much greater than you think. As long as you can stabilize the situation, these royal party officials may not necessarily stand up against you. Most of them will choose to sit on the fence and wait and see, or even take the initiative to join you." "???" "As for the soldiers, it is even more difficult. That's the problem. As long as you can implement the officer selection order, even if you can only replace 30% of the middle and lower-level officers, your voice in the military will be infinitely elevated. If you can temporarily stabilize the situation, you can even get unimaginable support. After all, on one hand, there is the old rule that suppresses them for a lifetime, not looking at talent but only looking at birth, and on the other hand, they are given the opportunity to climb up, and even prepared to give them more new queens... This choice is not difficult to do, right? " "Leon? !" Looking at Leon staring at her with burning eyes and really starting to analyze the possibilities, the princess was suddenly shocked and said in disbelief: "Do you know what you are talking about? !"
