Chapter 1359 Time Comes, Heaven and Earth Are Together
With a long sigh, the empress murmured: "In this case, how will the royal family deal with themselves? Wouldn't it disappear from this land along with the elimination of the aristocracy?"
"So in addition to the Constitution, we have to propose another set of secondary laws, that is, the Royal Family Law. Without violating the Constitution, it clearly stipulates the rights and obligations of the Royal Family, including privileges. What can and cannot be done
What, everything is clearly stated. The concept of letting the emperor rule the empire is transformed into the emperor being the empire."
"What's the difference between the two?" The empress was a little confused.
"Separating the 'emperor' from the aristocratic class has become a concept of another level. Although the choice of officials is in the hands of others, they are appointed by the emperor on behalf of the empire. These ministers can rule the empire and are also representatives of the emperor.
The subjects of the empire hand over this power to their hands. Everything is done with the approval of the emperor, that is, the empire. When this system is completed, the emperor will become an indispensable part of the empire.
, but the nobles are not. So the emperor cannot abandon it, unless someone intends to abandon the empire, but the nobles are free to do so."
"But have you ever thought about what happens if, after they gain power, they choose to ignore these laws and plan to go further?" Alegria asked worriedly.
"There is only one throne, who takes the throne?"
The magician asked a rhetorical question, blocking the empress's question. But she still asked without giving up: "What if the lower assembly, after destroying the nobles, repeals the royal law when it points the finger at the royal family?"
"If someone dares to abolish the laws that are the foundation of the empire, it means that there is no need to abide by all laws, right? Then it will be time for everyone to compete with each other. Whoever can beat others to the ground will have everything.
It would be quite interesting if someone dared to change the rules of the game like this."
Lin thought for a while and then said seriously: "And don't tell me, your Majesty, if no one is specifically targeting the royal family, the power accumulated secretly is not enough to resist this level of rebellion. If you are not in power, there will be nothing to lose."
Possibility of popular support; since the people will not be disappointed in the royal family, if the Parliament wants to eliminate the royal family, it has no basis in popular support and can only resort to conspiracy.─”
Waving his hand, Lin said easily,
"─But there are so many people in the parliament, what kind of conspiracy is possible to succeed without telling others? Unless the entire parliament agrees to eliminate the royal family, but is this possible? Even if the emperor at that time could not completely grasp it, he would never know it.
The representatives selected from the territories directly under the royal family shouldn’t be made to hate themselves to the point of their bones.”
Suddenly getting too many ideas that were very different from his past experience, Alegria took a moment to think about it, and then said: "Because the members of the upper council are nobles, they will not change. But the cabinet and the lower council have so-called terms of office.
, ministers and representatives need to be re-elected regularly. With this design, many extreme situations can indeed be avoided. This is another layer of your idea."
"Yes, Your Majesty. The biggest advantage of such a system is that the upper limit of governance is very low and the lower limit is very high. Basically, there will be no extreme situations, such as a faint king who loses his country and ruins his family, or a tyrant who slaughters people everywhere. It's a pity.
Yes, even if there is a certain emperor who is really talented and has countless good ideas and methods in his mind, there is still no way to personally go into battle and become a famous emperor for a generation."
"Because no matter what you do, there are always opponents in the decision-making system. And those in power not only have term limits, but when they lose trust, they can also be dismissed by the decision-makers themselves," Alegria said.
He added his own thoughts.
Lin cracked a smile and said, "Yes, that's it."
"But I don't agree with your statement that the nobility will be eliminated." Alegria questioned: "Such a ruling system will only give birth to another kind of 'nobility'. And if the existing group of
If they can adapt to such a system, they will be able to form a larger force than before. Even beyond the level of the Grand Duke."
"Hey, Your Majesty is enlightened and can see this layer." Someone's praise did not bring good looks to the empress. Lin smiled and continued to explain: "If someone can adapt, he can hold more information than before."
There is nothing wrong with big power. But how many people will be eliminated? And since this matter is promoted by us, it means that we can make arrangements as soon as possible and strive for greater benefits. And all of this is in line with the trend
, all we have to do is to be one step ahead of others. In the previous middle and worst strategies, you had to fight against the entire empire on your own. However, the best strategy is for the entire empire to stand behind you and push you forward."
"If someone is aware of this general trend, they can benefit from it. But the biggest benefit is us who are leading this trend. Is this what you want to say?" Alegria asked with a slight hesitation.
"Yes. Compared with talents who perform very well within the rules, those who make the rules will be the biggest winners. With this advantage in hand, even if you do nothing next, the emperor will be as stable as a mountain.
No one can shake it."
Alegria asked again: "Then have you ever thought about other people in the royal family and what they think?"
Lin said directly and rudely: "Who cares about them? Do they support you, Your Majesty? Or do they help you break through the current predicament? A group of guys who are just eating corpses will be eliminated along with the nobles. Let's see who will feel sorry for you."
"Corpse smell? What does that mean? Forget it, don't care." Alegria gave up understanding those strange terms. Instead, he looked at a certain magician with a serious expression and said, "Then what else do I want to know now?
One thing, what other plans do you have behind the bank?"
A straight-ball duel, this is it.
A certain magician showed a weird smile, which made Alegria even more convinced that there was an unknown purpose behind the goddess of gold coins. She said:
"Exchanging imperial power for the improvement of laws and systems seems to be beneficial to everyone. If I really want to suffer a loss, it's just me. But in fact, there is a big hole behind it. I who suffered a loss in the early stage may not necessarily suffer all the way to the end.
, but those who think they have taken advantage are likely to cry out later.
"The first half of this strategy gave me a very familiar feeling. When I thought about it carefully, oh, isn't this the benefit brought by the Bank of the Gold Coin Goddess? It seems to have no shortcomings, and it is difficult for anyone to let go of it.
The reason why the nobles delayed their agreement was just to take advantage of it. So I want to ask, what is the second half of the bank's strategy that is unknown to outsiders?"
Lin asked: "Really want to know?"
"Can't you tell me?" Alegria tilted her head and looked at a certain magician with a sly look.
"There are two types: a simple version and a complex version. Which one do you want to know?"
The successful empress made a simple judgment: "Let's talk briefly first. See if I can understand it and whether the matter has anything to do with me."
"Wise choice, Your Majesty. The simple version is that the common purpose of the gods is to increase faith and strengthen the godhood. The goal is directly to the powerful level of divine power of the eight lords of power."
The empress was shocked. "Is it possible to do such a thing?" After she calmed down, she immediately said: "If banks can really be spread throughout the whole land, maybe it can be done. But, is that all?"
"hehe."
"Don't fool around with a silly smile. What else is there?"
After wiping his forehead for a while and wondering if there was a cold sweat on his forehead, Lin continued to tell the truth and said: "That's really the only goal. But in this process, the goddess of gold coins is not the only one who benefits."
"Yes, World Tree?" Alegria guessed.
This unexpected answer surprised Lin. He asked: "Your Majesty, why did you make such a judgment?"
Alegria did not pretend to be enigmatic, but said directly: "The clue is very clear, it is those elves. Although people who have reached a certain level know that the high seats behind the Ikaruga Alliance are the World Trees, but they
Usually they don't take care of things, more like in name. However, it is unlikely that the elves of the Ikaruga Alliance will directly form an alliance with the goddess. Because the native race of the gold coin goddess is not an elf, there is no way to use the reason of the same origin to drive that arrogant
race.──”
Alegria stared at someone with a scrutinizing gaze,
"But even a legendary figure like the Red Sword Master has taken action, so we can only think that there is a higher-level existence behind it. Based on what you said today, I am very curious about the reasons for the World Trees to take action.
?And what about you? What did you get in this process? Even when I wanted to recruit you, you put forward a magic tower as a request. They want your help, and it must be a high price."
It's all about myself.
Lin scratched his head and said: "As for this question, I will reserve the answer for now. After all, the matter involves other parties, and it is hard for me to say anything without their consent. Your Majesty will not want me to say anything without your consent."
Under such circumstances, just talk nonsense about today’s conversation to some irrelevant people.”
Mouths opened in dissatisfaction, Alegria complained: "What's the matter? Haven't you told me all the secrets of the gold coin goddess?"
"Ha, Your Majesty, let me ask this, which god doesn't want his faith to spread throughout the land? I believe that everyone wants to, but they have not found a suitable method."
Maybe it was really none of her business, or maybe she gave up on forcing the magician in front of her too much. The empress did not choose to continue asking. Instead, she returned to the topic related to herself and said: "Okay, I understand. Anyway, there are a few choices today.
, I have to think about it carefully before I can tell you the answer. It doesn't matter."
"Of course, Your Majesty, you really need to think carefully about important things. If you decide on a certain strategy right now, I would have to worry about how serious you are."
Seeing someone's wise attitude, Alegria asked again: "I'm curious, you clearly recommended the last method, why did you name five methods with different degrees of good or bad?
"
He didn't expect to be asked such a question. Lin thought about it seriously and said with a smile: "Maybe this is a test I proposed.
Let’s see what choice your Majesty will make.”
"That means if I make the wrong choice, you will give up helping me?"
"No. I will not go back on what I promised. But my attitude and preparation will be determined by your choice. After all, if you choose to go on a killing spree, how could I not be prepared to escape at any time."
He was still a little angry at first, but after hearing the answer, Alegria smiled. It should be said that this man completely conformed to the rumors on the forum, and he did not look like a hero who came to save himself.
