"This matter is not as simple as you can see." Calvin said: "From the current perspective, you can understand the reason why Mrs. Neri lived to this day. It was not so simple at the time." He waited for Moyer's taste. After looking at the details, he continued: "Although the rebellion of the Desman Empire has lasted for several years, the rebels have never achieved a critical victory, and even their record has always been more defeated than defeated. The dignitaries of the kingdom. Although there are people who are dissatisfied with the emperor, these people do not represent all the dignitaries, nor do they have enough military power. They forced the palace to even negotiate with Demon, and were later purged by the emperor twice. Therefore, the empire after the queen regency Although she was in danger and faced pressure from many sources, she was not at a point of desperation. At the time, many people thought that the queen would fight to the death for the regime, but when she proposed to reorganize and give way to politics, everyone was surprised."

"It will be unexpected, no one would have thought that a person in power who has spare capacity would take the initiative to give up power."

"This is where she was thinking." Calvin said, "The change of Desman will happen sooner or later. Even if she withstood the pressure at the time, the emperor had offended too many people when he was alive. There will be new imperial courts, new rebellions, and even assassinations. She surrenders the power when she still has cards, and can get more bargaining chips. And more importantly, the powerful and the rebels once accepted. In the future, no matter who is in power or what kind of system is changed to her bill, she can no longer rebel against her or persecute her. Since the current regime is inherited from her, denying, rebelling or persecuting her will destroy the bottom line. The legitimacy of the existence of the Smanian Republic."

Bi Moyer was surprised: "The key is that she can do this, so that the powerful and the rebels can accept her surrendering power in this way. The methods and operations here are probably even more sighing."

"The details are difficult for outsiders to know. The relationship between the rebels, the powerful and the imperial power gives Madam Neri more room for manipulation." Calvin said: "Mrs. Neri has gained far more than that. Because it is. To change the political system, the Republic gave her a special territory, and even allowed her to have her own private arms. At the same time, she alone occupied three seats in the Senate, because her transfer of power to reform is tantamount to giving up her husband’s imperial power, and her sons and daughters. In order to thank her for her dedication, the Republic allowed her to inherit the decision-making power of the three seats at the same time. Think about it, her fate could not avoid the fate of most subjugated monarchs, and was destined to be liquidated. But now in a sense, Not only did she live well, she also had her own kingdom, and in a sense became the mother of the Desman Republic."

Bi Moyer deeply felt that this noble lady was not simple. It would be impossible to make a situation that is about to be mutiny and seize power as it is today without some ability and means. But what he pays more attention to is the performance of the Archon Demon, the changes before and after Demon during the incident, and the ambiguous attitude that not only made the situation what it is today, but also allowed him to ascend to the pinnacle of power.

Calvin looked at the changes in his son's eye brows and asked: "Are you thinking about Demon's role and means in it?"

"In this coup d'état, wasn't he the one who benefited the most?"

Calvin nodded his approval: "His performance in the latter part of the incident was indeed the reason why he was able to become the chief consul. Because only he was able to gain the trust of all forces, that is, he showed surrender to the emperor, and failed to obey the emperor. He ordered to slaughter the dignitaries. Coupled with his own appeal and ability, there is nothing more appropriate than him."

Bimoyer said: "He was dismissed during the Queen's regency, but he really surrendered his military power. I didn't expect it. He didn't obey the order to fight the rebels. If he gave up the military power, he wouldn't worry about being cut by the queen in annoyance?"

"You are still too immature." Calvin said: "The crux of the crisis of the imperial regime is not in him, he is not the main body of the contradiction. Killing him will not change any status quo, but will only make the situation worse. He just knows. The empire is about to change, and I want to understand this, so I made that series of actions. However, in this change from beginning to end, you should pay more attention to Mrs. Neri. Demon’s methods are of course. It’s remarkable, but Nerif’s talent is the most unfathomable among them. You must know that if the Emperor Desman is still there, it will be impossible to make political reforms happen. And the timing of his death was just before the empire’s peril. In the last setting sun."

"Father, you mean..."

"I didn't say anything." Calvin said lightly: "The emperor's death is the unanimous answer from Desman across the country. Although his health was very good before his death, this time is indeed just right. I was thinking, if Mrs. Neri had the idea of ​​restructuring the political system before the emperor passed away. She is too smart, hahahaha...Then her follow-up operations are probably just to consolidate the layout of her negotiation capital."

After hearing this, Bimoyer was shocked in a cold sweat.

Calvin smiled slightly: "Do you still think she is a gentle and kind lady?"

"Sure enough, can't people who are immersed in the power field just look at the surface..."

Calvin said: "In Desman, Mrs. Neri is an absolutely inaccessible person. Her life and death are related to the political situation of the entire country. The Grand Archon is the successor and balancer in the middle. The Archon to the north. The leader represents the faction of the restoration of imperial power. The southern consul is the original rebel faction, the western consul is the new faction, and the eastern consul is the centrist of the old aristocracy. This is why Mrs. Neri will be so careful in every move and act. As a representative of the old system of imperial power, those who meet with Mrs. Neri in private will be suspected of having other intentions no matter what. Especially when there are people in the country who advocate restoration, anyone who Mrs. Neri sees will become extremely sensitive."

"In this case, why are there still restoration factions in the five consuls?"

"This is the balance of power." Calvin said: "The ruling power needs the Restorationists to balance the rebels. At the same time, Mrs. Neri needs a group of old schools to maintain her own interests. Of course, the things in between are too complicated to say. To some extent, Madame Neri’s existence is a restriction to the Restorationists. Therefore, in such a situation, anyone who sees Madame Neri in private will undoubtedly involve themselves in an irreversible vortex, especially you. Such an identity."

"Because I am the son of a foreign minister?"

"Not only that, what you should think of is that you are the son of the ambassador of the Moyue Empire. Moyue is an empire!"

"What's wrong with this?" Bimoyer didn't react for a moment. In his opinion, there are so many god-system countries in this world, why is it unique here?

Calvin said: "Your sensitivity is too bad, compared to Otis, too much difference! Seeing her in your identity will not only cause the people of Desman to be suspected of colluding with foreign officials, but also let us Your Majesty the Seventeenth is worried! Do you also want to learn from experience and change his system!? Don’t forget, you are the grandson of the most prominent Christian family in the Moyue Empire!"

It was the fourth time that Bimoyer was frightened into a cold sweat tonight, and this time he really felt a bit of cold.

Calvin looked at the clock: "This is the end of the conversation tonight, you should rest."

"I'll go back to my friend to rest." Bimoyer stood up and said.

"Heh." Calvin was still sitting on the sofa with his legs on his feet, and said, "What do you think this is? This is the embassy. You are not an official of the empire. Do you still want to stay here?"

Bimoyer put on his robe and walked to the door and opened the door, then turned around and said, "If you say anything about the marriage contract, I will never accept your arrangement!"

"I hope you can say... do it." Calvin stared at him with a flat but irresistible look: "Close the door when you go out."

"Huh~!" Bi Moyer closed the door heavily.
