422 Do You Want to Consider It?

Discovering that the Princess didn't have the intention of "bringing a sword to the capital" and forcing the old King to abdicate, Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but ask:

"Since you don't plan to kill your way into the palace, what exactly did you mean by the 'things you should do' just now?"

"Of course, it refers to the sergeant selection order and the proposal to expand the voting power of citizens... How could you think I was going to bring people to kill into the palace?"

After being teased by Li Ang, the Princess's excited emotions calmed down a little, then she sat back in her seat and explained with a complex look:

"Just like what you said before, no matter what the final result is, what I am doing now is not wrong. After all, only by replacing those sergeants who are completely incompetent and can only get promoted based on their background can the rotten military have a chance to breathe;"

"And the current parliament is basically of merchant background. Many members who were not of merchant origin also received funding from merchants before being elected. Only by expanding the voting power of citizens can we divide the excessive right to speak of merchants in the parliament... These are all things that should be done and cannot be stopped just like that."

So, even if you know you were plotted against by the old King, are you still prepared to finish the matter?

After looking at the Princess with admiration, Li Ang tentatively asked:

"And then? What are you going to do then?"

And then...

Hearing Li Ang's question, Princess Veronica couldn't help but bite her lip again and said helplessly:

"Let's take it one step at a time... Li Ang, my heart is in a mess now. I have thought countless times over the past few years what to do if the reform cannot be pushed through or if something goes wrong in the process."

"But I really didn't think about what to do if Father... if the royal family suddenly turned against me. I still need some time to think about it carefully... In short, thank you for your reminder."

When she said this, the Princess, whose emotions had stabilized quite a bit, first looked at Li Ang gratefully, then sighed with a somewhat lonely look:

"In the past, I always thought that as long as I did well enough and paved a feasible new path for the Kingdom, Father would rest assured to hand the throne to me. After all, although he had some criticisms of my ideas, his support had always been unreserved."

"But now it seems that maybe I was out of the game from the beginning. The successor he favored has always been Watching Watching Qiaoshuya. After all, if the ability is insufficient, one can still learn. If one can't learn, one can still hand it over to someone with ability."

"And my 'problem' seems to be bigger. For him and the entire royal family, I am a bit... hmm... how should I put it..."

"You betrayed the class you came from, or to put it bluntly, your butt is not sitting with the royal family."

"Yes... that's about what it means..."

Hearing Li Ang's words, the Princess subconsciously moved her full body, sat on the edge of the chair, and nodded helplessly:

"Yes, that's what it means. For the royal family, I am an alien who betrayed them... However, just say the first half next time. I can almost understand what you want to express... Also, class..."

After carefully pondering this word, the Princess couldn't help but blink her eyes, then evaluated with a hint of admiration:

"Dividing levels like steps, arranging them one by one upward, and then being distinct from each other, it is almost difficult to cross without external force... The word you summarized is really not generally appropriate for describing the current Kingdom."

"..."

Dividing levels like steps...

Hearing the Princess's words, Li Ang couldn't help but be stunned.

He had heard this word many times in his previous life, but most of the time he just listened to it in a muddled way and used it in a muddled way. It was truly the first time he had pondered its meaning.

Looking at the Princess, who was bright-eyed and understood the meaning for the first time, Li Ang was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked:

"So... do you want to consider it again?"???

Hearing Li Ang's question, the Princess couldn't help but blink her eyes in confusion.

"Consider what?"

"Go back and bring people to kill into the palace, force your father to give up the position, and then..."

"You... I'm feeling uncomfortable in my heart, can you stop messing around!"

Hearing Li Ang's words, the Princess said somewhat laughably:

"The only organized garrison in the capital is the palace guard. The only one qualified to mobilize troops in the capital is the King himself. Even the Queen can't do it. Even the guards around me were assigned to me by that side. Who do you want me to bring to fight the palace?"

"Also, what rules the Kingdom is the entire royal family. Everyone recognizes the soldiers the royal family can mobilize, the wealth the royal family possesses, and the civil servants who sit in the seventeen departments and are willing to listen to the royal family's orders, not the chair that represents the throne."

"Even if I could conjure an army and grab the throne, I might not be able to take over these soldiers, wealth, and power. The nobles would also immediately stand up and oppose me."

"Don't look at the fact that the nobles and the royal family are tearing each other apart now, but if I really break the rules, the Upper House will immediately convene a meeting to judge my throne invalid and recommend Watching Watching Qiaoshuya or other royal members to take the stage."

"And those merchant parliamentarians who pursue stability in the Lower House will likely not agree with a Queen who came to power by breaking the rules... In short, if I really kill into the palace, then everything will be over."

"Not necessarily."

After patiently listening to the Princess's words, Li Ang thought for a while and analyzed calmly:

"People are creatures that are easy to develop habits. The old King has been sick for six years. In these six years, many affairs of the Kingdom have basically been handled by you. He only shows up occasionally."

"Those royal officials in the seventeen major departments say they are loyal to the royal family, but in fact, they have been listening to your orders for these six years. Many, like the Minister of Military Affairs, were even appointed by you personally 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 officials may not necessarily stand up and oppose you. Most will choose to sit on the fence, or even take the initiative to vote for you."

"???"

"As for the soldiers, it's even less of a problem. As long as you can push the officer selection order, even if you can only replace 30% of the middle and lower-level officers, your right to speak in the military will be infinitely raised. If you can temporarily stabilize the situation, you can even get unimaginable support."

"After all, on one side is the old rule that only looks at background and not talent, and has suppressed them for a lifetime; on the other side is the new Queen who gives them a chance to climb up and is even prepared to give them more... This multiple-choice question is not difficult to do, right?"

"Li Ang?!"

Looking at Li Ang, who was staring at her with burning eyes and really started to analyze the possibility, the Princess was shocked and said in disbelief:
