Chapter 492: Leo's Response
Daisy thought for a while, and then said: "The situation may not be as serious as you said, this emperor election meeting is only an expedient measure at present, and it is unlikely to last for a long time." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ After all, it is simply impossible for the emperor to be unable to designate his own heir. β
Leo shook his head and said: "That said, but power is such a thing, as long as it is caught in his hands, no one will be willing to let it go again, and the model of the Elective Emperor Council is obviously beneficial to the ministers, so it can definitely be supported by all the ministers." β
"Under such circumstances, it would be foolish for the Emperor to insist on going against all the ministers, because the Emperor needs the support of the ministers to rule and keep the empire running, not to mention the super families behind these ministers who have tentacles in every corner of the empire."
"So once this Elector mode starts, it's hard to brake. As the saying goes, taking people's money is like killing their parents, and power is even more touching than wealth, if you can get power if you oppose the emperor, then these ministers will definitely not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of the emperor. β
Daisy asked, "Then there's no solution?" β
"Of course there are, and there are quite a few." Leo said: "But the premise is that the emperor who is about to ascend the throne has enough wisdom and means to be able to divide the ministers and firmly grasp most of the power, so that the model of the emperor election will not be supported by enough power, and it will naturally be difficult to continue." β
"A wise emperor?" Daisy nodded thoughtfully, with a thoughtful expression on her pretty face: "In other words, if a relatively mediocre emperor is elected at this emperor election meetingβ"
Leo said: "Then it is very likely that the model of the Elective Emperor Society will continue to be maintained, and it will become more and more solid under the reinforcement of generations of ministers. Because every time the emperor election meeting is held, it means that the emperor must give more power to the ministers, so the more time passes, the stronger the power in the hands of the ministers, until finally the emperor is completely hollowed out, and there is no longer the slightest power. β
Daisy suddenly slapped her thigh: "Then let's just let this emperor election meeting fail?" Adjudicators No. 1 and No. 2 are best at assassination, and in one night, I promise to make the whole city of Ridmar chaotic, and by the time those princes and princesses are fighting to the death because of our fanning of the flames, the Elector will surely be yellow, isn't it? β
Leo looked at Daisy's red palm print on her white thigh, and felt distressed and longed for his own hand to be patted on it, and was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "That's not okay." β
"Why?"
Seemingly a little tired of speaking, Leo picked up his cup and took a sip of water, before continuing: "Not to mention that all parties are very vigilant in the upcoming election of the emperor, and there is a great possibility that they will be found fanning the flames. What's more, even if the whole of Ridmar City is really in chaos, we may not be able to emerge victorious. β
After drinking the water, he still seemed to be a little thirsty, Leo simply grabbed a pear on the fruit plate in front of him, took a big bite and said, "What is our purpose?" It is the final victory, that is, to enthrone the eldest princess as emperor. As for how the eldest princess became the emperor, and what impact this method will have on the future of the Spani Empire, it doesn't really matter at all. β
Leo couldn't help but smile as he spoke, and said: "This is a game of thrones, each side has its own demands and goals, what the ministers need is power, the heirs need the throne, and what about us?" Although we are also one of the players of the game, our position is fundamentally different from that of all other players. Don't forget, we're outsiders from the church! β
Leo threw aside the eaten kernel, picked up the tissue in his hand and wiped his hands, and said with a smile: "So the current situation is not the best stage for us to show our means?" β
What Leo didn't know was that the way he laughed at this moment was quite similar to the "old fox" Bishop Gavin in his heart.
Daisy let out a long breath and looked at Leo with a somewhat complicated expression: "Lord Leo, I must say that your growth rate is really beyond my expectations, no wonder the great Supreme God of Light can bestow his favor on you. β
Leo shrugged his shoulders and said to himself, "That great Supreme God of Light in your mouth will only use his light of judgment to chop me to death, okay?"
Of course, Leo wouldn't say it in front of Daisy.
Daisy asked, "So how are we going to take advantage of the current situation?" β
Before she knew it, Daisy was no longer just verbally referring to Leo as "Adult", but truly regarded the former student as a true leader.
Daisy has a feeling that Leo's growth will not only surprise her, but also many people, including Lady Cheeto.
Leo thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's very simple, we should be prepared now, if the election of the emperor will go on normally, then we will strive to make the eldest princess the one with the most votes; If the Elector is destroyed, or if Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess does not win in the Electoral, then then we will muddy the waters and repeat the battle for the throne of the princes thirty years ago, and see who has the biggest fist. β
Leo called for a pen and paper, and quickly wrote several letters, and then asked Daisy to call in both Adjudicator No. 1 and No. 2, although they had each given them three letters.
"No. 1, wait for you to go to the palace of the eldest prince, quietly put this letter by the side of the eldest prince Emmanuel, and remember not to be found by others."
"No. 2, you go to the Ice and Snow Giant Bear Family Mansion to squat, see if you can find the traces of the second prince and get any news related to the second prince's condition, and by the way, help me monitor the whereabouts of Prime Minister Paul, remember not to expose yourself, if there is any abnormality, be sure to notify me as soon as possible."
"Sister Daisy, please take this letter to the Golden Lion Family Mansion, and be sure to hand it over to Duke Lion with your own hands. By the way, this time you're going to go through the front door and take my token with you. β
The three of them took their orders and left, and Leo thought for a while, and picked up the pen again.
One after another of the church elite rushed in at Leo's call, and hurried out with all kinds of secret letters, messages, and orders, and the whole courtyard suddenly became lively.
When Daisy and Number One came back and everything was arranged, it was dusk.
It wasn't until the waiters brought the hot and delicious dinner that Leo realized that he had spent the whole afternoon in the dining room before he knew it.
"Time flies." Leo shook his head, grabbed one leg of lamb from his plate, and took a hard bite without grace.
Leo hadn't taken a step out of the chair he was sitting in that afternoon, but he was still very hungry.
Who said you don't need physical strength to use your brain? This is definitely an excuse to discriminate against smart people! Leo thought indignantly as he munched on the tender leg of lamb.
As night fell, a carriage drove to the State Guesthouse and stopped in front of the courtyard where Leo lived.
Everything that Leo had laid out during this busy afternoon was like pebbles thrown into the surface of a calm lake, and slowly began to ripple in circles.
