Benjamin looked at Josephine, who was crying silently, shocked, he had never heard of this statement, on the territory of the original forest country controlled by the druids, there were thousands of elves enslaved, just like the current dwarf slaves were enslaved by the elves, unimaginable, without any status, arbitrary domination, as a commodity trade, etc., he couldn't imagine that as the king of elves, he was high, but many of his people lived in a miserable world. If it is really as Josephine said, then, for a thousand years, the territory of the forest country under the control of the druids has carried the blood, souls and resentments of the elves! And all this, I have never received any hints from my father Cross, and the elven royal family, nobles, clans and other forces in a corner of peace have long since gradually forgotten or even abandoned their own clansmen and left them to fend for themselves......

Seeing Benjamin pondering, Josephine wiped her tears, looked up and said, "What kind of elf king are you?" We are in dire straits, after thousands of years, several generations of hard work, to break free from the sea of suffering, originally wanted to defect to the territory under the rule of the elf king, low-key forbearance, can be more comfortable, but I didn't expect to get such an end of extermination! Hahaha, what are you not a faint king? Thousands of generations have been waiting for it, but what they are waiting for is ruthless abandonment! In a corner of peace, continue to enjoy yourself from above, and all the people are ministers with a wave of the scepter, but they are at ease! Why should my people surrender to such a faint king? Who among the thousands of elves who are still enslaved will surrender? Who will surrender to the major forces of the Forest Country? It's not me who bullies, it's you! Raising a butcher's knife will only cut at his own people, but to the outside world, he is a soft egg who compromises and surrenders with humiliation! How do I submit to such a king? Of course I'm guilty, the sin is that I brought the wrong people here, the sin is that I thought I was lucky to leave the sea of suffering, but I entered the hell furnace, hahaha! ”

Benjamin was stunned and remained silent, but Josephine became more and more agitated as she spoke, until she was taken out of the palace by the guards and taken back to the barracks for care, and the palace finally fell silent.

"Yes, what qualifications do I have to be the Elven King? What qualifications do I have to point fingers at the actions of others, or even judge them from above? Demon Spring Villa is just fighting hard to defend the living space of its own people, and it couldn't be simpler! The sphere of influence is not only divided into the Demon Spring Villa, but everywhere in the Forest Country, and he thinks that he has no ability to deal with other big forces, but why should he attack a small family that only wants to survive? Is it true, as Josephine said, that only the governors are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps? What can we do to eliminate this inequality? Benjamin sat on his throne with a haggard face, thinking.

"Which of the royal families, clansmen, and aristocratic forces who think they have noble bloodlines does not have their own private armies, and which ones do not fight to the death? Although several generations of elf kings are heartbroken, they are powerless to change the status quo, and a small family in Demon Spring Villa, just because they are not noble clansmen, because they are weak and unable to fight, do they attack them? How many small families like Magic Springs are there in the forest country, including the territory occupied by the druids, who are only trying to survive in the cracks between the noble clans, the major forces, and the oppression of the druids, and they, as the largest nobles, have to personally raise their butcher knives and slaughter their own people who are powerless to protect? In this way, even if the country is restored, even if he monopolizes power, what is the point, will he be happy about it? ”

……

"General Dacomar, I said that it is inconvenient for us to participate in the core affairs of your Forest Nation!" Lan Xian'er was very unhappy and said to Da Kemal, who came in a hurry, "You better go back and tell Your Majesty that if you need other help, we will be happy to serve, but it is related to your state affairs, we don't want to fall too deep, and ask him to understand!" ”

"Madam, Your Majesty has not recovered from his serious injuries, but now he is losing his temper in the palace and drinking alone!" Da Kemal said anxiously, "No one can persuade him, you are His Majesty's most intimate friends, you must find a way to persuade Your Majesty, I beg you!" ”

"Drinking?" Daniel was furious, "Is he crazy? We worked so hard to pull him back from the ghost gate, and he spoiled himself like this? He will die, and we will not save him. ”

Nicole was also annoyed and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Da Comar said, "Your Majesty has seen Josephine, and then she has become like this, and I don't know what that slut has said to Your Majesty!" ”

Noah said very dissatisfied: "It's really annoying, I want to go to you, I still have a lot of things to do!" Don't bother me with this kind of thing in the future, I'm going to die and live every day! ”

"Eh, let's go and see it first!" Lan Xian'er said.

……

"I thought that being the king of elves, no matter how hard and tired I was, even if I had no close friends and became a loner, at least let my people live and work in peace and contentment under my leadership; I thought that if I worked hard to restore the forest country, I would definitely overcome all obstacles and be invincible; I thought that I could thus become a king who was loved and admired by all the people. You tell me, why is it different from what I imagined, why do I have to carry the burden of a thousand years alone? ……”

Benjamin, who had been robbed of the jar, nagged at Blue Fairy, Daniel, and Nicole.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Benjamin sighed stupidly and said: "Several of you are here, all of you have been born and died with me, including Da Kemal, now there are no kings and ministers here, we don't talk about state affairs, just chat with a few friends, can't we?" ”

"All living beings are suffering, and Your Majesty is not the only one who suffers!" Lan Xian'er said, "Your Majesty only talks about his own suffering, it is too selfish!" ”

"Even you call me selfish?" Benjamin looked up at the blue fairy dissatisfied, and said.

Lan Xian'er ignored Benjamin's dissatisfaction, and continued: "While a person has rights, he must also have equal responsibilities, His Majesty wants all the people to admire, wants to build a foundation for all generations, and wants to do what the ancestors failed to do, and must suffer the humiliation that ordinary people can't bear!" Your Majesty's ancestors left your Majesty a throne, property, and a suffering people, and a weakened national body with constant internal friction! Your Majesty has power but does not want to bear this responsibility, and has a starting point that is much higher than others, if you do nothing and achieve nothing, will you be worthy of the expectations of your ancestors and the expectations of all people? The first king Cross only gave you a throne, if you want to be a real king, where is it so easy? ”

"You mean, I'm not an elven king yet?" Benjamin asked, puzzled.

"What is a king?" Lan Xian'er said, "Is it a king to get the throne?" Auguston ascended the throne and ascended the throne, do you recognize him as your king? Even if you defeat Auguston and ascend the throne yourself, do you think you are the king yourself? Cross's royal decree and Auguston's royal decree were issued from the throne, but how many people in your forest country would listen? The true king should bear the expectations of all the people, seek benefits for the people, protect the people, and let them live in peace, work happily, be prosperous, and have dignity...... Such a king, even if he does not sit on the throne, can rule the world, because such a king, his throne, is the faith of all peoples! ”

"The throne of the faith of all peoples?" Benjamin pondered for a long time before he said in frustration, "Although what you said is difficult for me to understand for the time being, I believe that you are right, and I am willing to take on this responsibility, but it is easier said than done, not to mention that I am confused now!" I have not been able to protect a small family like the Magic Springs from being enslaved by the enemy, although they still call me king, and as you and Josephine have said, I am not worthy of it, and I am ashamed of it! ”

"The national hierarchy system of the Forest Empire has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!" Lan Xian'er said, "Your Majesty probably thinks that it is difficult to break the national order and seize power from the bottom up, as you said when you were in the western region of Germany, right?" To be honest, I admire and admire what His Majesty said at that time, to eliminate the power controlled by the nobility and to ban the slavery status of the dwarves. Your Majesty certainly has his own ambitions, and the hierarchical system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it is necessary to build a new empire on the basis of the broken and fragmented country, and restore the territory occupied by the druids! All beings are equal, and I am very much in favor of Your Majesty's suppression of aristocratic forces and elevation of the status of other low-status races! Is it easier said than done? It's not easy to know, Your Majesty already has great ambitions, why can't you do it according to your own heart, and fall into clichés? ”

"All beings are equal, all beings are equal...... Benjamin muttered.

Lan Xian'er continued: "Your Majesty, do you know who is the greatest aristocratic force in the Forest Country? It's the Elven King! Your Majesty's current worry is that since you want to suppress the power of all the nobles in the forest country, how will Your Majesty, the biggest nobleman, deal with himself? Your Majesty wants to concentrate power in your own hands, but it goes against the original intention of equality of all beings, unless Your Majesty suppresses it even yourself! Your Majesty has worked so hard to fight the country, but it can only be shared equally with everyone, which is somewhat unbalanced! ”

Daniel said disdainfully: "Hmph, now that the restoration of the Forest Country has not even seen a shadow, it is a little too early to consider the issue of benefit distribution?" ”

Nicole shook her head and said, "No, Daniel, it's important!" Failure to solve the question of what to fight for will eventually lead to confusion in top-down thinking, confusion and lack of will! Not only Your Majesty himself, but all those who are fighting for the recovery of the Forest Country should be clear about their goals, and continue to fight hard without this goal! ”

Daniel said strangely: "Although I don't understand politics, isn't the recovery of the Forest Country everyone's goal?" Shouldn't everyone be moving towards this goal? ”

Nicole continued to shake her head and said, "The goal of recovering the forest country is wide, but why should the forest country be recovered? What does the recovery mean to everyone who fights after the liberation? To put it more bluntly, after the recovery, what kind of benefits will be distributed to everyone who participated in the war, this is the most important thing! Your Majesty's annoyance is that you feel that you are breaking the old pattern and building a new empire in a bottom-up way, and the new way of resource allocation in the empire is naturally bottom-up, taking care of the people at the bottom first, and only then will it be the turn of the nobles and clans, and it will be Your Majesty's turn! Such a distribution method is of course not completely agreed with His Majesty himself! His Majesty was conflicted in his heart and wanted to break the separation of aristocratic forces, but his own largest aristocratic group had to disintegrate first, so this made His Majesty feel that the biggest vested interests of the forest country was not himself, but he lost his rights and resource advantages, which was completely meaningless! ”

Benjamin stared at Nicole for a long time before he said, "I've thought about it for a long time and I haven't figured out what's wrong, but you have broken it!" ”

"The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "If Your Majesty really has such an idea, then it is really a little ridiculous!" But it doesn't matter, the rules are in the hands of the strong, His Majesty can promulgate a new elven code, in which the rights and obligations of the people are clarified, while retaining the existence of the royal family, but the royal family must make concessions in front of the code, that is, to transfer the rights of the royal family to the parliament, the elf king no longer participates in the affairs of the country, let the parliament govern the country through the elven code, everyone, including members of the royal family, must obey the constraints of the code, and the elf king exists only to supervise whether the implementation of the council meets the requirements of the code! ”

"Then what's the point of me, the elf king, if I don't have the right and strength, I don't have the right to speak, but you want me to give up the right to go?"

Lan Xian'er said: "As a rule-maker, of course, Your Majesty can set some privilege clauses for himself, such as having veto power over the decisions of the council, such as retaining the qualifications for the appointment and removal of some members of the council, such as retaining a certain size of the elven guard, such as retaining a part of the royal estate, and so on!" Although the strength of the royal family has been greatly weakened, because there are no other noble forces in the entire new country, it is impossible for other forces to threaten the royal family, and the royal family is still the most powerful faction in the forest country and has the greatest power. The tide is rising, and now that the water level has dropped, there is nothing wrong with His Majesty's strength coming down! ”

"Rely on the code to govern the country?" Benjamin had never thought like this, but he was not a pedantic person, and he was keenly aware that if the code was formulated reasonably and in line with the interests of the majority of the citizens of the forest territory, it would be of great help to the forest territory, and the state machinery of the entire forest territory would be run at high speed, and the situation of the division of the heroes would be gone forever. In this way, the Mori Domain will definitely become stronger, and the survival of the royal family will also be strengthened by the strength of the empire.

"Let me think again!" Benjamin paced slowly, pushing out the main hall of the palace......
