Chapter 247

So... directly support Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya and let the Queen and Minister of Finance behind him fight the Princess?

After listening to the old noble's proposal, a group of old nobles began to weigh the pros and cons and fell into deep thought.

The collective shift of most of the old noble groups to lean towards the royal family, which wants to curb the power of the old nobles, sounds like a stupid idea.

After all, Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya and the Queen are also members of the royal family. Leaning towards him will also be subject to many constraints. If he really defeats the Princess and successfully becomes the "representative" of the royal family's will, he will also crazily target the old nobles, and the situation will still not change.

But just like what the Lionheart Duke did, when you don't have the ability to be a chess player, you might as well try to sell yourself to the person who is most willing to pay.

For the Princess who has successfully grown up, these old nobles of theirs don't have much value. But for Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, whose succession rights are precarious and who may be "married" out of the Kingdom at any time to marry a mother monkey on the other side of the sea, the support of these people is like sending charcoal in the snow!

In order to get the power to compete with the Princess, Watching Watching Qiaoshuya and the Queen standing behind him will definitely spare no effort to win over these people and take the initiative to cede benefits and offer exceptionally generous conditions. This gives room for maneuver.

As for what Watching Watching Qiaoshuya will do after he comes to power... talk about the future later!

At present, if we can't press the Princess who has grown up, these people will be locked in dog cages immediately, or even be slaughtered in large batches, and they don't even have the qualification to consider the future! Not to mention that compared to the cunning Princess, the arrogant and self-righteous Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya is much easier to deal with!

"This method is good... I agree!"

The young noble who wanted to vote Hearing Hearing Li Ang and his sister down before stood up first this time and was the first to express support for the new proposal.

Immediately after, a large group of old nobles whose interests were threatened and who strongly resisted the implementation of the new decree stood up and also expressed their support.

"I also agree."

"Seconded!"

"Just this, we have no choice!"

After more than half of the old nobles had expressed their stance, the more conservative ones, even if they still had doubts about this proposal, couldn't come up with a better way for a while, so they chose to acquiesce, or simply held the intention of trying, and agreed.

"Since the vast majority of people agree, let's decide this first."

After looking around the almost one-sided situation in the room, the middle-aged man who presided over the meeting took over the conversation and announced loudly:

"In order to counter the Princess's new decree, we will collectively lean towards the Queen in the future and try our best to support Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya to succeed to the throne.

In addition, ugly words are said in front. Among the ninety-two nobles present today, even if there are people with different opinions, please keep in step with everyone. Even if you don't support Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, please don't hold back.

Otherwise... don't blame others for not being affectionate."

It is impossible for the collective shift of the old nobles to the Prince to be hidden. Even the gathering of the old nobles just dispersed and had not yet started to act, the Princess had already obtained the corresponding information.

"This is troublesome..."

After getting the list of old nobles who chose to lean towards Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, looking at the long list of shocking names, the Princess's brows couldn't help but furrow deeply.

Not to mention Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, she couldn't know the ambitious stepmother better. Even without this, she wouldn't give up the plan to let Watching Watching Qiaoshuya succeed to the throne, and would definitely find an opportunity to make a big fuss. And now that she has the support of the old nobles, the movement she makes will definitely be bigger.

The bad thing is, if it's just some intrigue, it's fine. For her, whose brain is the same as Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's, she only needs to dig a small pit, and she can fall and get a bloody nose, and be honest for a while.

But her brother, her cheap uncle, is the current Minister of Finance of the Ministry of Finance. He and the family behind him are the actual controllers of the Ministry of Finance. She can't intervene at all.

And what she needs most to push the new decree is financial support. She doesn't even need to do much. As long as she uses some small means to block the financial mouth when competing for the throne, it is enough to make her new decree die in the womb directly.

As for the way to break the game...

Picking up the quill dipped in ink, after writing a few words on the paper, the Princess couldn't help but sigh faintly.

The best way is to take the initiative to provoke a small-scale border conflict and trigger a bloody incident.

With the lesson of the War of Defense six years ago, as long as it enters a state of combat readiness, even if it is only the most basic state of combat readiness, the Queen and the Ministry of Finance dare not hold her back at all.

Otherwise, let alone letting Watching Watching Qiaoshuya succeed to the throne, as long as the Queen dares to make trouble at this time, the father is afraid that he will climb out of the hospital bed directly, wishing he could strangle Watching Watching Qiaoshuya with his own hands.

However, although this method can break the game, it doesn't even need her to come forward. As long as she hints to Old Hill, as the Minister of National Defense, he can do things silently.

But the purpose of her pushing the new decree is to avoid the Kingdom falling into the flames of war as much as possible. This kind of thing is really contrary to her original intention...

Then only try other ways.

After crossing out the option of "war," the tip of the quill in the Princess's hand moved to the side and drew a circle on "forced push" with force.

The most suitable at present is to take advantage of the timing when the old nobles have just leaned towards Watching Watching Qiaoshuya and have not fully negotiated cooperation, and first complete the legislation of part of the new decree through the Upper House seat of the Laien family.

As long as the part of the new decree that restricts the privileges of the old nobles and facilitates commercial development is forcibly pushed out, the Chamber of Commerce that controls the Lower House will have a place to exert force, and will help her push part of the new decree down.

Even if the Ministry of Finance wants to block her later, it will be checked and balanced by them because it touches the interests of merchants. As the largest source of financial tax in the Kingdom, the Chamber of Commerce composed of merchants also has a significant influence on the Ministry of Finance. In this way, she has the possibility of prying the Ministry of Finance and getting the budget for the complete implementation of the new decree...

Just this!

After checking "forced push," the Princess didn't stop writing, but pointed at the paper with the tip of the pen and continued to ponder.

To achieve all this, she must get the Upper House seat of the Laien family and push her new decree out. And to get the Upper House seat of the Laien family...

She must complete the marriage with the Laien family! That is, she must handle Hearing Hearing Li Ang!

The quill dipped in some ink, wrote "Hearing Hearing Li Ang" after "forced push," and the Princess, who had completely clarified her thoughts, pondered for a while, and then rang the bell to call the maid waiting outside:

"Milly, is Master Wang Erde's Morning Star Troupe performing recently?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The maid recalled and nodded, then asked considerately:

"If you want to go out to relax, the Morning Star Troupe sent the top-level suspension tickets..."

"No."

After waving her hand to refuse the maid's proposal, the Princess ordered:

"Help me buy two tickets with slightly better positions in the box area on the second floor... Remember to buy a couple's box!"
