Chapter 757: Leng Qiu's Plan
After being silent for a long time, the eldest prince said: "I have to admit that what you said is very reasonable. But I can't agree with that. β
"Are you worried about the status of the royal family?" In Leng Qiu's opinion, the eldest prince is used to living a high-ranking life, and it is unacceptable to let them give up their noble status and be equal to everyone for a while.
The eldest prince did not deny it, and nodded, "It's not that I can't let go of the current glory and wealth, it's just that the inheritance left by our ancestors cannot be destroyed in our hands." β
"How can this be said to be ruined? This is a new life, a kind of creation!" Rong Zhen said.
"According to you, the leader of the ideal kingdom is elected by the people, and at that time, my royal family will be nothing, what is the difference between extinction?" the eldest prince asked rhetorically.
"Heh, what's the matter? Are you so unconfident in the royal family?" Zhao Bufan sneered. "If your royal family has the ability to rule this country, then why worry about losing the election, if you don't have that ability, even if the entire Falling Moon Empire continues to be ruled by your royal family, it will not escape the fate of destruction. β
"Thisβ" The Great Prince was silent again.
What Zhao Bufan said is not unreasonable.
Leng Qiu spoke again, "If the eldest prince still feels a little embarrassed." Otherwise, it would retain the privileges of the royal family, but it would deprive the royal family of its military powers. The deprived military power was naturally in the hands of the man elected by the people. Of course, members of the royal family are still eligible to run. In that way, it will not harm the interests of the royal family, and if the royal family has the ability, it will still be the supreme ruler of the ideal country. β
"What if the new leader is the first to choose to overthrow the royal family and want a dictatorship?" asked the fourth prince.
"Dictatorship is not possible, because elections are not as simple as voting, they need to be done in a comprehensive manner. As for what you said, whether they will take the royal family under the knife, this is unknown. However, one thing I can assure you is that as long as the royal family does not make too many mistakes, such as what the second prince did before, they have no reason to take action against your royal family. Leng Qiu said.
"You're thinking too simply, even if we agree to your terms and join forces with you to build the ideal country. That's not possible. The eldest prince said. "The situation in the Falling Moon Empire is complicated, and the major families and forces are also crisscrossed. Even the current royal family has to give them three points. And the kingdom you are talking about does not allow so many forces to exist at the same time. In this way, it is undoubtedly an enemy of the major forces, and even if it is the power of the entire royal family, there is no chance of winning. β
Leng Qiu nodded and said, "Since it is equality and freedom, naturally there is no room for so many
of family forces exist, as they threaten this balance at all times. As for the odds you're talking about..."
Leng Qiu paused, and said: "Even if it's not for the purpose of establishing an ideal country, presumably, these family forces are also thorns in the side of the royal family, right?"
The fourth prince said, "That's right. As a subject of the Falling Moon Empire, he has a heart of disobedience. It's really hateful. But, as I said before, there is nothing we can do with them. β
"The trend of the times cannot be stopped, and anyone who wants to stop it will surely see their own insignificance and turn into a speck of dust of the times. Leng Qiu said.
"Having said that, you have to show some practical skills!" the fourth prince said coldly.
After all, anyone can say pretty things.
"Only you will be afraid of the so-called family power!" Leng Qiu also said coldly. "I can't hide it, I just want to talk to you, I really can't bear to kill too much. If you don't agree, then I'll have to take it myself!"
"You..."
The fourth prince was angry, but he was held down by the eldest prince.
"This matter is very important, and if we are not careful, our royal family will fall into a place of no return!
Hearing him say this, Leng Qiu knew that things might have taken a turn for the better.
Leng Qiu said: "I didn't force you, presumably you have been sending people to keep an eye on our movements." You should know that several cities under my jurisdiction are already united in one heart, although I dare not say that it is impregnable, but if you want to fight, we will fight to the last man!"
"The place where you are located is remote, and the people are fashionable and simple, so you can be united and all the people are soldiers. But it can't be done here, not to mention that the major families have their own ghosts, and even the people are too selfish. To put it bluntly, once your policy leaves the territory of the Qin Clan's royal city, it will be useless. The eldest prince expressed his opinion.
"Perhaps, but without an attempt, there is no chance of success!" Leng Qiu replied.
The eldest prince was silent and said: "I am not a person who eats the ancients, if you can let me see a little hope of success, even if it is not impossible to abandon the entire royal family!"
"Uh..."The words of the eldest prince made Leng Qiu a little surprised, but I heard Rong Zhen talk about it before, the eldest prince looks cold on the surface, but he loves the people like a son, is deeply loved by the people, and is also a popular candidate for the next heir to the throne, now it seems that this is really the case!
"Compared to the people of the Falling Moon Empire, what is my royal family?"
After how many fierce ideological struggles.
"The eldest prince is really a person who understands righteousness! I sincerely admire him!" Leng Qiu said this completely from the bottom of his heart, as he said before, as long as there is no accident, the eldest prince is the new emperor of the Falling Moon Empire, and there is no need to take a risk with him.
"Don't rejoice too soon. First of all, you have to show the qualifications or skills that can let me play with you. The eldest prince said.
To tell the truth, when the eldest prince heard about Shura City and the surrounding cities, he was shocked, for example, although he himself was deeply loved by the people, but those people may not have the same heart as him, to put it bluntly, everything is false.
But it's not a joke that all the people are soldiers, just ask, if you don't want to take your life with you, who will do so many tricks with you?
But then again, this is just saying that the military and the people are united, and it may not work if you really want them to go to the battlefield. For example, in Blue Moon City, aren't Lan Xuanyue and the soldiers and civilians of Blue Moon City also working together, but the combat effectiveness of the people is basically negligible, which is why Lan Xuanyue let the people evacuate.
Of course, this also varies from person to person, after all, the most important thing is the individual's physical fitness.
"Qualifications are to be played step by step with strength, and you have already seen our strength. Leng Qiu said.
The eldest prince was silent again, Leng Qiu was telling the truth.
"And what do you want to do as a first step?" asked the Grand Prince.
"Tell me first, what are your chances of becoming the new emperor?" Leng Qiu asked.
"Do you want to?" the eldest prince thought of something.
"That's right!" Leng Qiu nodded and said, "We wish you to ascend the throne." When the time comes, you can aggravate the Qin clan, and the Qin clan's royal city and the area under its jurisdiction will be returned to the Qin clan. I will prove my abilities to you in the Qin Clan's Royal City. At the same time, you can also implement the same policy in some remote areas, so that you will not touch the strength of the major families, and you can slowly accumulate strength. When the strength is enough, what are the major family forces afraid of?"
"But how do we know that you won't slowly accumulate strength and wait for an opportunity to swallow us after occupying the Qin Clan's royal city?" the fourth prince said coldly.
"I'm still saying that, I'm just here to warn you, if you don't agree, I'll have to take it myself. Don't say anything that is beyond your means. Even if you use the power of the entire Moon Empire to crusade against us, you may not be able to kill us. β
"Besides, there are people from other empires all around. If I tell them about my plan, I believe that they will approve of my plan and send troops to help. When the time comes, we don't know who will kill the deer!"
