"Why, Solomon?"

After leaving Perth Palace, Reginer sent Solomon to his mansion for a private meeting with him.

"Why don't you stop Her Highness from insisting on the idea of war?" Solomon picked up the steaming coffee in front of him, a drink passed down from the plane of Farusion that had a refreshing effect.

"Because I can't do it. Solomon said.

"Stephanie is the Queen's sister. ”

"However, my wife's relationship with Her Majesty is not very good, and it is Her Majesty's unilateral dislike, which everyone knows. Solomon said.

"Alas, ....... go on like this"

"You are very embarrassed if you go on like this, and look, your majesty may call you into the palace again tomorrow, and ask you to go and talk to the council about raising taxes again, because the little money I promised to borrow for her will not meet her needs. ”

"That's because you're perfunctory, and I know you have a way to borrow more money, and you don't. ”

"I can borrow more money, but businessmen are not stupid, and the purpose of the bank is to borrow money for profit, not to do charity, to help a woman who has lost her brother to fulfill her wish for nothing, and it is very likely to fail, so all the investment will be in vain. ”

"Wars can also be won, and kingdoms can really expand their territory, just as they conquer other planes. ”

"But the chances of failure are greater, and the people who borrow money will be like the bankers and goldsmiths who have been jumping off buildings and rivers during the year. ”

"Well, I can't convince you. But, Solomon. That new army of yours. You're actually done, aren't you? Although I did suspend the appropriation. Regina said.

Solomon fell silent. After a while, he finally spoke: "But I will always always send a regiment of troops to that place in rotation at most." ”

"You're doing military training. Regina hit the nail on the head.

"Even if it is, but according to your appropriation, I can only complete the equipment and training of one regiment now. Solomon smiled, and he patted Regina on the shoulder, "You also admit that the queen's behavior is quite risky now, why don't you stop her?"

"What Mansfield and these old courtiers promised in front of His Majesty was to assist his successor as much as possible. ”

"Including their dangerous, risky, and even crazy behavior?" said Solomon.

Regina said displeasedly: "I admit that His Majesty Margaret's current behavior is a bit risky and improper, but it is far from what you said. ”

"You're already hoping that I'll stop her. Solomon said lightly. "If you really don't think it's strict, that's okay, we can read on. Allow me to prophesy that perhaps tomorrow and the day after tomorrow she will summon you to the palace again, and force you to go to the parliament again to give an ultimatum to make up for the shortfall in borrowing by a direct tax increase, which will obviously not work in either the upper or lower councils, and will be rejected. Her Majesty would then retaliate, and she would use her veto power to reject any laws and decisions recently passed by Parliament, including decrees from ministers in the Cabinet who refused to fully support her. ”

"This. This will deepen the antagonism and affect the normal order. Shock appeared on Reginer's old face. But he had to admit that Solomon's prophecy was very likely.

"She may even dissolve Parliament. Solomon finally uttered a prediction that even Regina had not thought of.

In the Perth Palace, after Solomon and the others left, Margaret was still angry, and Archbishop Cameron did not leave, he looked at the queen with the mischievous demeanor of an old man looking at his granddaughter.

"How can this be. Marquis Solomon will definitely be able to borrow more money, he has the ability, he is not willing to serve me!"

"And that Regina, I told him to go and talk to the council about raising taxes, and he had a bitter face, isn't that how it should be, and every subject just adds a little more to their king's revenge. "If the parliament refuses again, I will use my veto to overrule all their recent decisions, and I will also give a little color to the ministers in the cabinet who do not support me." ”

Cameron smiled and nodded, but Margaret suddenly became deflated again, "But what should I do if that doesn't bring them to their knees?"

"Your Majesty can dissolve the Parliament, it's your right. Cameron laughed.

"Yes, that would definitely get them to agree to a tax increase. Margaret said happily.

"Ahem, Majesty, even if this trick can work, it will definitely not get immediate results, they will always have a process of resistance, and they may even hold on for a long time, until they can't resist Your Majesty's determination to really give in. Cameron conceived Margaret wholeheartedly, "But the war is still going on, and you can't stop and wait for them." ”

"What then?" said Margaret, "the Marquis Solomon has always promised to borrow only a part. “

"Your Majesty, you still have us. Cameron said calmly, "I know that His Majesty allowed the Church of Light to return, which made many people unhappy and questioned His Majesty behind his back. But I can assure you that our support for Majesty is sincere and strong, and like this time, we can help Majesty. ”

"How can I help, the church borrowing?"

"Yes, we can provide borrowing money to support His Majesty in fighting this war before he convinces Parliament to raise taxes and get sufficient funds. Cameron bowed.

"Great, I knew that the church was my greatest support. Margaret clapped her hands and said, "Archbishop Cameron, I can promise you that when we win this war, I will give the Church the rights and interests of the beast plain in return." ”

"Ahem, that, Your Majesty, that's not what we need. There was a rare hint of embarrassment on Cameron's old face.

He stated his true purpose, "In addition to the principal, we really just want to get back the property that His Majesty Edward and the nobles took from the church. ”

"Oh, that's right, but there might be some resistance to getting the nobles to return it. Margaret pondered.

"If His Majesty is willing to take the lead in setting an example. Add the veto and the threat of dissolution of parliament. It can be done. And if it succeeds, it will also greatly increase the prestige of His Majesty. You can rest assured that the example I said you need to set is just a gesture, you just need to return one or two items casually, and we will focus the loss of the property on recourse to others. Cameron said.

"I promise you. "I also want to maintain the good relations between Asturias and the Church of Light." ”

"Rest assured, if your ministers do not support you, the Church will always be on your side. Willing to assist you, help you, and serve you. ”

"Thank you and the church for your support, my mother and I were faithful and still are. Margaret said.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for daring to propose a marriage for you. ”

"Isn't it too early to get married?" said Margaret, surprised.

"A proper marriage between nobles has always been one of the means by which nobles secure their position, and didn't that Marquis Solomon benefit from this?" Cameron laughed, "I am thinking about you and Asturias, and the crown prince of the Saxon kingdom will be happy to propose to you, in that case." Will your children inherit both Asturias and Saxons, or will your future throne be inherited by the wife of the Marquis of Solomon?"

"The woman?" said Margaret. I don't know if it's anger or fear.

Cameron sighed: "I boldly propose this marriage in front of you, but also for the relationship between the church and the kingdom and His Majesty, I don't want to have another twist and turn in a few decades, and the painstaking repair of His Majesty will be ruthlessly ruined." ”

There was a holy, compassionate kindness on his face, as if not only Margaret were like his granddaughter, but all of Asturias were like his granddaughters.

On the silent balcony, Solomon sat alone.

A white wrist gently rested on his shoulder, "What's the matter, Solomon, is it Her Majesty the Queen who has caused you trouble again?" I'm sorry, I think it's because of me." ”

Solomon grabbed Tiffany's wrist with his backhand, "Of course not, the trouble that His Majesty caused me is nothing. ”

When Tiffany heard him say this, her heart lowered slightly, and she spun in front of him.

"What's stumbling on you?

"Church, they're just a bunch of sideburns. ”

"But I can tell you're not in a relaxed mood. ”

Before she could finish speaking, Tiffany was pulled into Solomon's arms and sat on his lap.

"That's because the decisions I might make will involve you, and that keeps me hesitating and hesitating. ”

Solomon wasn't lying, but it wasn't the real reason for suing Sù Stephanie.

From the moment it was decided that Margaret would ascend to the throne, Solomon struggled most with his own direction.

Before that, he had been trying to promote the birth of capitalism in this fantasy world, and the emergence of such things as freedom and democracy.

Now there is a new possibility in front of him, he may not be able to help Tiffany ascend to the throne.

However, if he had known that Tiffany had a chance to ascend to the throne, then why would he have done those things, so that even if he could put Tiffany on the throne now, the decline of the royal power was inevitable.

However, if the ass is once again in the perspective of royal power, as a traverser, he knows that when the wheel of history has already turned, even he can't stop it.

This is where he is really embarrassed and frustrated, and he feels sorry for Tiffany, but he can't tell her the truth.

"But I can only be happy. Tiffany looked into Solomon's eyes seriously, "Could it be that my husband is fighting, but my wife can only be by the side and can't help? Do you remember the days when we fought together in the Academy Elf Chess? As long as I face it with you, I will not be afraid of any kind of enemy, and even if the result is a failure, I will never regret it. ”

The expression on Solomon's face suddenly became strange, how could he fail, but he bought the stock and threw it out before it reached the highest level, and he made more than half of the money.

But hearing Tiffany say this, Solomon's heart knot was untied quite a bit.

"Ahem, yes, it's been a long time since we've been fighting elven chess together. Tiffany, maybe one day, I'll find a way to invent something so you don't have to go to the Academy's Magic Chess Department to connect to the Magic Chess. ”

"Really, I remember your promise. ”

Under the night sky, laughter rang out like silver bells. (To be continued......)
