Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Concept of Royalty

In the eyes of most people, more power is better, but the children of the Byrons do not think so. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Their father, Mel, had great power, and there were a great deal of people at home and abroad who wanted to look at his face. Everyone in the Bluestone Palace worships their father, the guards and maids respect them from their father, and every child in Mel is proud of his father.

But pride is pride, if five or six years ago, you asked your children, do you want to be like your father? They will answer in the affirmative 100 percent. But now, without exception, they will give a negative answer.

In the past, the children didn't know their father's hardships, and only saw the beautiful side of their father, so they wanted to be like their father. Now, the children have experienced their father's hardships and the pressures they have to endure to govern the country, so they don't want to be like their father.

In the eyes of the children of the Byron family, the king had to do his best, sacrifice greatly for the country, and do many things that he did not want to do, because their father was like that. They received a rigorous education when they were young, but they did not suffer as much as a ten-thousandth of their father's hardship.

If the father's efforts were rewarded, the children might yearn for that life, but this is not the case. His father's efforts were ignored by many people, and even the guards and maids of the Bluestone Palace only remembered his father's brilliant achievements, as well as some policies that brought great changes to the kingdom. But my father's dedication is much more than that.

Children may not resist living like that if they were forgotten, but that's not the case. The rebellion in the country chilled the children, they could not understand the actions of the rebels, and their father had already done so much for the country, but they still wanted to betray and hurt their father.

The performance of the people disappointed the children. They don't want to serve this kind of people, but they also don't want to be dumb kings and tyrants, and live the life of a common man. So they don't want to be like their father - they don't want to be rulers, to be precise.

The princesses are lucky because it is a patriarchal society, and their inheritance is very low, with princes in front. The princes were more unlucky, none of the six princes wanted to be the crown prince, but one of them was destined to be the crown prince, because the throne must be inherited by someone.

Laughing, Nanyi and Leah love their son very much, and they don't want their son to live like Meier's, so Nami and Leah will support Hart as the crown prince. The reason why Xiaoxiao didn't say anything was because she owed Nami for Dingwu's education as the crown prince. She agreed to Dingwu to be educated as a crown prince because she felt that Dingwu would not suffer too much, but the fundamental reason why she did this was that she didn't want Hart to have any possibility of becoming the crown prince.

As long as Dingwu is educated by the crown prince, he may become the crown prince, and Hart will be safe. Xiaoxiao has been comforting herself with the first reason, but doing so does not alleviate the guilt in her heart. So when Ulis came to persuade her, she couldn't make a firm statement.

Nanyi handed over this matter to Xiaoxiao because she trusted Xiaoxiao. Ridiculous but out of selfishness, without asking Dingwu's opinion, he let Dingwu accept the crown prince's education. At first, Nam Yi thought that Dingwu was voluntarily educated by the crown prince, but when Dingwu complained to her, saying that he didn't want to be king from the beginning, Nam Yi knew that Xiaoxiao had betrayed her trust.

So in the incident of supporting Hart to become the crown prince, Namyi's choice is completely revenge on Xiaoxiao. As for Leah, she is only protecting Hamel and has no intention of targeting anyone. After the sixteen princesses unified their voices, Xiaoxiao, as the queen, was powerless to change the result, so she could only continue to remain silent.

In terms of the choice of the crown prince, the side hall supports Hart, and Gray supports Hamr, and there is already nothing to do. But Maier, who was far away on the front line, didn't know about the changes in the Qingshi Palace, and thought that the crown prince must be Dingwu, so he would say such things in front of everyone.

In the absence of a crown prince who has not yet been decided, Maier's statement is tantamount to treating Dingwu as an heir, giving the impression that he supports Dingwu. But in fact, Maier has not seriously considered this matter, and the Byrons family has not discussed the results, and various departments in the country are still on the side. In this case, Maier's speech will make the domestic departments create a third team, making the situation even more confusing.

There is no doubt that this is a big mistake, and it is a big mistake to hold a family trial.

Although Maier made a mistake, Gray, Yunxin, and his wife still took care of his face, and did not let the children attend the family trial meeting, nor did they let outsiders know about it. Gray and Yunxin counted him down in front of his wives, and Mel felt aggrieved, but he could only suffer in silence.

If you win a battle, you have to be trained...... Although one yard is one yard...... But you're training too hard, aren't you......

At this time, Maier did not realize the seriousness of the situation, and it was not until he learned about the recent situation in the side hall from Xiaoxiao that he understood why Gray and Yunxin would discipline themselves fiercely in front of their daughters-in-law.

Yes...... Indeed, you can't do it without training.

The wives all support Hart as crown prince, but Maier publicly states that if Dingwu succeeds him, they will definitely have trouble because of this matter. One wife can be coaxed, two wives can be persuaded to be awkward, and three wives can be barely maintained, but if sixteen wives are awkward together, there is nothing Mel can do.

Now Gray and Yunxin have severely disciplined Maier in front of their daughter-in-law, although her husband has done something that makes him unhappy, but this is unintentional after all, so he will not be trained so badly. Seeing Meier's aggrieved appearance, the princesses were not only angry, but also felt that their husbands were quite pitiful, how could they be awkward with him again?

"It's all my fault...... If I hadn't made a decision for Dingwu without asking him, things wouldn't have turned out the way they are......"

The appearance of smiling and blaming himself made Mel very distressed, and he hugged Xiaoxiao in his arms and said softly.

"It's not your fault, it's my fault, it's my fault."

"But you don't know what's going on at home—"

Mel didn't want Smile to continue, and a kiss sealed Smile's mouth. He knew what Xiaoxiao would say next, it was nothing more than that you didn't know what was happening at home, and then if I hadn't let you out at the beginning, there wouldn't have been these things now, and finally cried out because he blamed himself too much.

This conversation has happened more than once. Whenever something happens to the Byron family and someone is hurt, Xiaoxiao will blame herself like this. She always felt that Myer's hard work was caused by herself, and if she had been more decisive when she was young and took Maier to fly away with her, there would not have been so many things.

Xiaoxiao loves Maier and loves this home, but her heart is only so big, and she can only hold so many things. She doesn't care about any glory and wealth, she doesn't care about any position of power, and she doesn't care about the world, she just wants her family to live a happy and comfortable life, that's all.

However, compromises and forbearance again and again only brought temporary stability. There are more and more troubles, and the relationship between the family members is becoming more and more complicated, and sometimes Xiaoxiao even mistakes the Aoishi Palace for the Black Shrine. Whether it is a princess or a maid, they will gang up and intrigue. Fortunately, the maids of Qingshi Palace are mainly Tairong fairies, and Xiaoxiao likes Tairong fairies, because they are simple, value the collective, and will not play tricks with others.

It is precisely because of their existence that the turbidity in the Bluestone Palace can only be hidden underground, and they dare not come out easily. Because black becomes more pronounced against the background of white. Against the backdrop of purity, the filthy will be even more disgusting.

In today's side hall, the princess who is willing to honestly follow Xiaoxiao is only Xiaoye, Xiaoniao and Zhenxin, although the others are willing to obey her leadership, they all have other ideas in their hearts. Xiaoxiao, who grew up in the Black Shrine, can see through people's hearts through a mask, and find someone who is willing to be loyal to her wholeheartedly.

Since the Kingdom of Taeyong still needs Maier, he can only stay in the Bluestone Palace for two days. He stayed there for the past two days, and Xiaoxiao persuaded him that if the children really love each other, then let them go. Maier knew that Xiaoxiao had to say this because she couldn't withstand the pressure of the princesses, so she could only nod her head in distress.

Mel knows the consequences of doing so. As long as Hart married his loving sister, he had a direct relationship with the Ministry of Administration, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Defense, the Guard, the New Shrine, and the Kingdom of Urgus, thus gaining the support of the majority of the people. If Mel insisted on making Dingwu or Hamel the crown prince, there would be internal strife in the kingdom of Byrons. Even if the children have no intention of competing for the throne, the people below will forcibly push them to the throne for their own benefit.

Before making a formal decision, he approached Gray and explained his thoughts to Gray. Gray sighed helplessly, although Dingwu and Hamel are more suitable than Hart to be the crown prince, but the situation is stronger than people. The Kingdom of Byron is ostensibly a monarchy, and the power of the monarch is really not small, but in fact, the cabinet has more real power than the monarch. The monarch is subject to many restrictions when acting in his actions, especially the restrictions of the cabinet, and many things are not the sole decision of the monarch.

In the case of the marriage of the close relatives of the Byrons family, all the cabinet ministers responded with support, and most of the princesses also responded with support. If Mary persists in opposition, he will be under pressure from both the side hall and the cabinet. Mel has been a king for so many years, and his ability to resist pressure is much stronger than when he was younger, but this time the pressure is completely beyond his ability.

In order to get a step down, Liu Xiu put forward a "royal concept". He said that although the Byron family is a Letting family, Myer's wife comes from various races and has different living habits, and his children are all mixed-race children, who grew up in a chaotic cultural atmosphere, and are very different from the real Leting people in terms of thinking, and they are no longer Leiting people in the strict sense.

Today's Byron family is sought after by the people, and Liu Xiu feels that Maier can take this opportunity to elevate the Byron family, so that the people feel that the people of the Byron family are not ordinary people and should be noble. Noble people should be different from ordinary people, the term "royal family" is too petty, it is better to use "royal family" instead, which directly highlights the difference between the Byrons family and the people, and can also take advantage of the situation to let the Byrons family break away from the Leting race, and do not have to do things according to the habits of the Letin people.

As long as the people accepted such a statement, the "royal family" could set its own rules, cultivate its own culture, emphasize its noble blood, and not have to act according to the customs of any race. In this way, the intermarriage of the close relatives of the Byrons family became a matter of course.

At the same time, the concept of royalty also strengthens the legitimacy of the Byronic family. When the people accepted the supremacy of the royal family, no one without royal blood could rule the country. However, people at this time did not find out about this until more than 700 years later, a general of the empire intended to split the country, and he did not have royal blood and became emperor despite the obstruction of his subordinates. It didn't take long for his troops to mutiny, killing him and his cronies and surrendering to the Imperial Army, after which the hidden value of the concept of royalty was discovered.

On April 15, 154 AH, at the behest of Myr, the Kingdom of Byron began to popularize the concept of royalty throughout the country. Maier did not deliberately elevate the Byron family like Liu Xiu, but still preached the idea that everyone is equal, saying that the royal family is just a family dedicated to governing the country, and there is no so-called noble blood.

But the original words reached the people and were quickly misinterpreted. They thought that Mary had said this out of humility, that His Majesty had proved the nobility of royal blood by his humility, and that His Majesty, who possessed many virtues, would certainly have taught better children, and that the same would have been true of his children's children. In this way, the bloodline of the royal family will only become better and more noble, and it will become an existence that can only be looked up to.

Mary overestimated his place in the hearts of the people, and in the minds of many people, Mary had become second only to God. They don't believe that Mary is ordinary—to be precise, they don't want to believe that Mary is ordinary. They want to look up to Myer, so no matter what Myr says, they will elevate the Byrons family and ennoble the royal bloodline.

The subsequent development of the matter was similar to what Liu Xiu expected, after the concept of royal family was popularized, the marriage of close relatives of the Byron family was understood and supported by the vast majority of people. As for the rest of the people, they are not opponents, but fanatical supporters. They feel that the royal bloodline is too good and should not be tarnished by ordinary blood, and this excellent bloodline should be passed on through consanguineous marriage.
