Nine-year-old Queen Victoria's daughter, Beatrice Marie Victoria Fyodor, became the ultimate target of Emperor Tom's legal empress.

Does Tom know how much of an impact a foreign relative can have on a regime?

Of course, Tom is a man of earth.

Tom, a traditional earthman, treats the throne differently than Europeans.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and in any unified region, the peak of the value of two powers is not allowed.

And in the history of Europe, there has always been a fierce confrontation between divine power and royal power (imperial power),

On the other hand, in the earth dynasty, the imperial power has always been greater than the divine power.

In addition to the issue of theocracy, the government of the earth dynasty was different from the relatively decentralized government of Europe, and the emperor system of the earth dynasty was a relatively centralized dictator.

At the same time, there is one of the most important differences between Europe and the local dynasty.

In the history of Europe, there has never been a great unified empire.

Therefore, for the emperors of Europe, even if you only have a small piece of land and do not pocket all of Europe, you can call yourself emperor and emperor.

So, for Europeans, the pinnacle of power is not the emperor's position,

In the history of Europeans, he did not become the first person to unify the European continent plus European religion,

Therefore, the theoretical pinnacle of power in their minds, whether it is the position of the European emperor or the papacy of Europe, is just a transitional stage at the peak of European power, not the real pinnacle of power.

But for Europeans who have not experienced great unification, it is really a bit of a fool's dream to let them dream of becoming the first emperor of Europe, and Europeans can only retreat to the next best, pursuing the position of emperor or pope in one place.

On the other hand, for the people of the earth, for the people of the earth, the vast majority of dynasties have done it: from the ocean in the east, the desert plateau in the west, the ice fields in the north, and the rainforest in the south.

In the thousands of years of history of the Earth Dynasty, all these emperors who were not suitable for human habitation were not worthy of being called emperors of great unity.

Obtaining the position of Emperor of the Earth Dynasty means that in the minds of the people of the Earth Dynasty, all the places that can be fought have been defeated.

At the same time, the emperor also had to carry out cultural imprisonment and religious control.

In the end, the emperor of the earth dynasty represented the peak of the land, religion, culture and other aspects of power of the earth dynasty.

These factors led to the fact that in the minds of the traditional people, the emperor's position represented the pinnacle of all power.

It is this kind of difference that makes the royal history of Europe and the Celestial Empire very different.

Because the position of emperor represents the pinnacle of power, the people of the earth dynasty have a relatively unified and highest ideal - that is, to be the emperor.

And the highest ideals of Europeans are not fixed, there are popes, emperors, and so on.

These differences led to the fact that the rights disputes in the history of the Di Dynasty were concentrated on the imperial power.

And the power disputes in Europe are more colorful, there are imperial power struggles, there are divine rights struggles, there are divine rights and imperial power struggles, and so on......

And the population of the Dicho has been greater than the total population of Europe for the vast majority of the time.

We all know that the more the population, the more rolled.

Not to mention the small population of Europe, and it is several positions at the same time,

Not to mention the large population of the earth, there is only one position,

Which side of the imperial struggle do you say is more game-oriented?

The level of the struggle for imperial power in the local dynasties, before the scientific and technological revolution and the emancipation of the mind, always represented the highest level of internal struggle in the feudal imperial power

Tom is also a man who is well versed in the history of the dynasty, and of course knows how much influence he will have on his regime when he becomes Victoria's son-in-law.

But Tom had already prepared a way to deal with it, and Tom had a way to prevent his relatives from seizing power in his family.

Before understanding Tom's methods, we must first understand one of the fundamentals of the power grabbing by relatives in the history of the Earth Dynasty - the mother is more expensive than the son.

Install the latest version. 】

All the relatives who left a strong mark in the history of the local dynasty have one characteristic, that is, they are the mother family of the emperor of the current dynasty.

The first emperor is sooner or later, the emperor is young and unable to take care of the government, so for the emperor, the most trustworthy person is his mother.

There is no doubt that for the emperor of the earthly dynasty, his mother is much more reliable than his father's imperial brother.

After the imperial power was delegated to the mother, it was good that the mother could take care of the world alone, but the emperor's mother would die sooner or later, and after her death, her power would eventually go to her child, the emperor of the earth.

But if the emperor's mother is unable to take care of the whole world alone, she will have to give her someone to trust.

Because the emperor's mother was a woman and had not experienced the cruel experience of male power grabbing power in a large family, it is said that most emperor's mothers would delegate power to her male family members.

Eventually, these male family members became a core group of relatives who were involved in politics.

And after these male family members gain rights, the rights after their death will not necessarily be attributed to the emperor.

There is a high probability that these male family members will hand over power to their male children and grandchildren.

In this way, it only takes the turmoil of a generation of young emperors, and the imperial power will quickly fall away in a generation.

In addition to this acute seizure of power by relatives caused by the emperor's ascension to the throne at a young age, there is also a chronic seizure of power by relatives.

That is the involution between princes.

If the emperor has many princes, according to the historical tradition of the local dynasty, he has always been the most "popular with the people" prince as the prince.

The will of the people here is, to put it bluntly, the heart of the middle ruling class.

If the middle ruling class is seriously dissatisfied with those in power of the imperial power, then this emperor will step down the next day.

In order to ensure the continuation of his imperial family, the first emperor could only be forced to choose the prince who won the heart of the middle ruling class.

And the same two princes,

A prince's mother is the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, and a prince's mother is a flat-headed commoner.

The mother's family on both sides will hope that the prince who is related to their family will ascend the throne and become emperor.

They would all run around for the prince, seeking help from the middle ruling class.

so

Which prince do you say is easy to win the "hearts of the people"?

Which prince do you say has a high probability of becoming the crown prince?

When the prince ascends the throne, the mother's family will be rewarded for their achievements in the dragon.

For the mothers of these ministers, who were already in power, money could not move these mothers.

In order to stabilize the throne, the newly enthroned emperor had to delegate power to his mother's family.

When the mother family is in power, of course, she will have full authority to defend the emperor of her own family.

But after a few generations of emperors, the mother's family gradually drifted away from the new emperor.

And the rights given to the mother's family cannot be justifiably taken back.

After more than ten generations of emperors, the dynasty ushered in the last generation,

After the relatives divided the imperial power more than ten times, it is strange that the imperial power of the last dynasty was not hollowed out.
