Chapter 422 Do you want to consider it?

Chapter 422 Would you like to consider it?
Leon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he found out that the princess had no intention of "taking the sword to Luo" and forcing the old king to abdicate. Then he couldn't help but ask:

"Since you are not planning to charge into the palace, then what exactly do you mean by 'what you should do'?"

"Of course, I'm referring to the order to replace non-commissioned officers and the proposal to expand citizens' universal suffrage... Why do you think I'm going to lead my men to storm the palace?"

After being teased by Leon, the princess calmed down a little, and then sat back in her seat, explaining with a complicated look:
"Like you said before, no matter what the final result is, what I am doing now is correct. After all, only by replacing those non-competent officers who rely on their family background to get promoted can the corrupt military have a chance to breathe.
The current parliament is basically composed of businessmen, and many members who are not businessmen have received funding from businessmen before being elected. Only by expanding the right of citizens to vote can the excessive voice of businessmen in parliament be diluted... These are things that should be done, and we cannot stop here."

So, even though you know that the old king has schemed against you, are you still prepared to finish the job?

After looking at the princess with some admiration, Leon tentatively said:

"And then? What are you going to do next?"

And then……

Hearing Leon's question, Princess Veronica couldn't help biting her lip again, and then said helplessly:
“Let’s take it one step at a time… Leon, I’m very confused right now. I’ve thought about this countless times over the past few years. What should I do if the reforms can’t be implemented or something goes wrong during the process?

But I really haven't thought about what to do if my father...if the royal family suddenly turns against me. I still need some time to think about it...Anyway, thank you for your reminder."

At this point, the princess, whose emotions had stabilized a lot, first looked at Leon gratefully, then sighed with a slightly lonely look:
"In the past, I always thought that as long as I did a good enough job and found a new and feasible path for the kingdom, my father would be confident in handing over the throne to me. After all, although he had some reservations about my ideas, he always supported them with all his strength.

But now it seems that maybe I was out from the beginning. His preferred successor has always been Joshua. After all, if he lacks the ability, he can still learn. If he can't learn it, he can hand it over to someone more capable.

My 'problem' seems to be bigger. For him and the entire royal family, I am a little... um... how should I put it..."

"You betrayed the class you were born into, or to put it bluntly, your butt is not sitting with the royal family."

"Yes... that's about what I mean..."

After hearing what Leon said, the princess subconsciously moved her plump body and sat on the edge of the chair, then nodded helplessly:

"Yes, that's what I mean. To the royal family, I am an alien who betrayed them... But next time, just say the first half of the sentence. I can almost understand what you mean... Also, class..."

After pondering the word for a while, the princess couldn't help but blink her eyes, and then commented with a look of admiration:
"It is divided into levels like stairs, arranged one by one, and separated from each other. It is almost impossible to cross without external force... The word you summarized is really appropriate to describe the current kingdom."

"..."

Divide the levels like stairs...

After hearing the princess' words, Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled.

I have heard this word many times in my previous life, but most of the time I just heard it confusedly and used it muddledly. This is the first time I have figured out its meaning.

Looking at the princess who understood the meaning of the words the first time she heard them, Leon could not help but remain silent for a moment, then asked tentatively:
"So...would you like to reconsider this?"

??? Hearing Leon’s question, the princess couldn’t help but blink in confusion.

"What to consider?"

"Go back and lead your men to attack the palace, force your father to give up his position, and then..."

"You... I'm feeling really bad, could you please stop making trouble?"

After hearing what Leon said, the princess said with a smile:

"The only organized garrison in the capital is the palace guard. The only one who is qualified to mobilize troops in the capital is the king, not even the queen. Even the guards around me were assigned to me by them. Who do you want me to lead to attack the palace?
Also, it is the entire royal family that rules the kingdom. What people recognize is the soldiers that the royal family can mobilize, the wealth that the royal family owns, and the civil servants who sit in the seventeen ministries, are willing to obey the royal orders and control a large number of kingdom affairs, rather than the chair that represents the throne.

Even if I could really conjure up an army and seize the throne, I would not necessarily be able to take over these soldiers, wealth, and power, and the nobles would rise up against me first.

Even though the nobles and the royal family are fighting fiercely right now, if I really break the rules, the House of Lords will immediately hold a meeting, declare my throne invalid, and nominate Joshua or other members of the royal family to take office.

And most of the businessmen in the House of Commons who pursue stability would not approve of a queen who came to power by breaking the rules... Anyway, if I really break into the palace, then everything will be over."

"Not necessarily."

After patiently listening to the princess' words, Leon thought for a moment and calmly analyzed:

"Humans are creatures that easily develop habits. The old king has been ill since six years ago. During these six years, you have basically been in charge of many affairs of the kingdom. He only shows up occasionally.

Those royalist officials in the seventeen ministries claim to be loyal to the royal family, but in fact they have been obeying your orders for the past six years. Many of them, like the military ministers, were even appointed by you personally and have become accustomed to following your orders.

So your advantage is much greater than you think. As long as you can stabilize the situation, these royal party officials may not necessarily stand up to oppose you. Most of them will choose to sit on the fence and wait and see, or even take the initiative to join you. "

"???"

"As for the soldiers, it's even less of a problem. As long as you can implement the officer selection order, even if you can only replace 30% of the middle and lower-level officers, your voice in the military will be infinitely elevated. If you can temporarily stabilize the situation, you can even get unimaginable support.

After all, on one hand, the old rules that have suppressed them all their lives are to look at one’s background and not their talent, and on the other hand, they are given the opportunity to climb up, and are even prepared to give them more new queens... This choice is not difficult to make, right?"

"Leon?!"

Seeing Leon staring at her intently and really analyzing the possibility, the princess was shocked and said in disbelief:

"Do you know what you're talking about?!"
