Chapter 129 Margaret's Little Thoughts
Seeing Roger's expression of disgust, Frankenstein shook her head with a smile, "You should give up on it, we must have prevented you from becoming the younger brother of the nation."
It turns out she was just joking.
When the Secret Law Association designed the Glory Vow, it also considered this aspect, so it took enough precautionary measures to prevent the empire officials who will hold important positions in the future, all regard Roger as the most important family member in their hearts...
At that time, he became a "little prince". All the administrative officials are his sisters, so can't he run amok in the empire?
So, Frankenstein just casually told a strange joke about an alchemist.
Roger sighed helplessly. He found that after getting acquainted with Frankenstein, although there are various benefits in alchemy, the evil taste of the mechanical girl is still a carbon-based creature.
This may mean that although she has carried out a very crazy mechanical transformation on herself, at least her brain is still close to that of a human being...
Because robots have no sense of humor, right?
But watching Frankenstein browsing through various data and reports at a speed that exceeded the reaction limit of the human eye, Roger lost confidence in his judgment again.
As far as this reading speed is concerned, is it something that humans can do?
...
...
The next day, the headline of "Long Live the Queen" reported that Queen Yongye and the nobles had reached the "Imperial Charter" and the precious picture of the nobles swearing the oath of glory.
In this report, the author declared in an optimistic tone that this was great progress for the empire.
The current empire has become the most advanced country in the Eternal Night World, with a unique and excellent system. Under the leadership of the Queen, they will build a more powerful Green Vines Empire, etc...
The next few editions are analyzes of the specific content of the Imperial Charter, such as:
[Although our queen possesses supreme force and power, she is so calm and restrained. She established the Imperial Parliament to exercise legislative power, and divide and limit her absolute power.
This move will turn the empire into an empire for all people, whether it is the new aristocracy or the common people, they all have the opportunity to protect their rights and interests.
This is the far-sighted wisdom of the Eternal Night Queen. This is the change that the ancient, evil, and old-fashioned decaying empires can’t achieve. This is the unique attempt made by the Green Vines Empire to protect the people at the bottom. direct expression of sex. 】
Dio's self-decorated small western-style restaurant in the business district.
Margaret sat across from Dio, holding the newspaper, looking at this analysis, and couldn't help but frowned, making a gesture of humbly asking for advice:
"It's weird. We won. Why do we need them in the council!? Lord Dio, you must know the answer, right?"
Roger's shadow puppet held Dio's face, casually stirring the coffee, with a polite face, but inexplicable doubts piled up in his heart.
It's already the fifth day in a row.
Every morning, this little half-breed devil would find himself at the time when he woke up, bringing a hearty breakfast, and then started chatting while eating.
The topics include the work of the two of them, as well as the current political news and gossip. In short, Margaret's emotional intelligence has enough opportunities to show, and she will never be left alone.
But the shadow puppet doesn't need to eat. It only needs to wander around the shadow plane every day to complete the charge and continue to appear alive and kicking.
After charging for five minutes and working for a whole day, the battery life of the Shadow Puppet is top-notch.
But in the end, Margaret was staring at her, and the shadow puppet had to accompany the senior to eat and answer her questions.
After all, Dio's identity is the Minister of History, and he was also in charge of the compilation of "History of the Green Vines Empire". It would be too problematic if he couldn't answer such an easy question.
Especially the white-haired beauty on the opposite side, looking at me with innocent and curious eyes, admiration and trust on her face; unaware of the effect she had. It was really hard for people to refuse this kind of opportunity to act...
When facing Dio, Margaret's attitude was much better than that of Roger, and the charm of the mixed race was finally reflected.
"As the article said, this is a means to reflect our advanced nature." Roger simply replied.
"However, for the sake of advancement, we distributed the power we had won so hard, and there are still a bunch of councilors telling us what to do. Angelina has done too much!" Margaret was still very dissatisfied.
She thinks that this wave was done by her right-handed pig teammates. They could wipe out those nobles, but in the end, they gave them a sigh of relief and got a bunch of parliamentary seats.
For her to write, the Imperial Charter only needs two items:
First, what the Queen said is correct;
Second, if in doubt, please refer to Article 1.
As a result, the current charter, like Angelina's sticky and lukewarm personality, states that the queen is supreme, but not completely supreme.
Margaret expressed her doubts, and here she simply publicly expressed Angelina's dissatisfaction.
Roger was not surprised to hear that. The contradiction between the left and the right has been around for a long time, and it cannot be resolved in a day or two. In addition, the setting of the "Imperial Charter" is indeed confusing.
Moreover, there are many very long entries. I think Margaret's character is not interested in reading them. It is understandable for misunderstandings to arise.
Seeing the anger and confusion shown by the small ceiling fan, Roger couldn't help but analyze his favorite settings for her as a teacher:
"Don't worry, those congressmen can't tell you what to do. The imperial parliament has no right to interfere in administration and military affairs. All they can do is make legislation. Moreover, the legislative procedure stipulates that the queen's proposal must be made by the parliamentarians before they can vote. So most of the time, you don't feel their presence at all."
The Margaritas are also very smart, but they are not good at this kind of twists and turns in internal affairs procedures. With Roger's point, she suddenly realized, "That means they can only defend passively, and they can never take the initiative to attack.?"
"That's right, they can only defend passively. The most important value of the Imperial Council is to prevent His Majesty from setting up an insurance policy, a procedural cooling-off period."
Roger pointed out the most important role of the Imperial Council: the dog leash dedicated to the Queen of Eternal Night.
"Your Majesty, she just...has a strong intuition! Then is there any other benefit to the Imperial Council?" Margaret tried feebly to uphold her idol, so she didn't dwell on this issue, because she knew in her heart that Roger didn't say anything wrong.
However, it is because of small flaws that my Majesty is so real, so cute, and so charming!
Roger replied, "Of course, the councilors gave nobles, commoners, and magicians a feeling that they can participate in the establishment of the highest power in the empire and ambitious people will take the initiative to submit.
Especially the civilian class, as their education and wealth improve, they have more access to information, and the wisdom of the people is enlightened. Everyone will identify with this empire more and have a stronger sense of belonging.
Externally, the existence of the Imperial Parliament can hold up the banner of democracy and attack all autocratic empires. As long as we declare it vigorously, the people in the surrounding countries will feel envious and yearn for it, and they will have a reason to attack those backward countries righteously.
Margaret slapped the table and stood up excitedly, "Wonderful, you don't have to work hard on the Earl of Glamorgan in the future, all you need to say is that you are too backward, and we are here to solve the suffering and suffering people at the bottom... That's it." It's done!"
She suddenly realized the unlimited right of fire of human rights defenders.
Roger smiled, "So, Lady Angelina's design of the "Empire Charter" can be regarded as well-intentioned, creating many advantages for the empire, right?"
Margaret blushed suddenly, avoiding Roger's playful gaze, turned her face to the side, and hummed, "Forget it, let's do it!"
Damn it! This wave was played by that blue-haired Madonna again!
She felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, today's breakfast was almost finished. The little devil got up, saluted, and said crisply, "Master Dio, I'll see you at the cabinet meeting later."
She used her magic to clean up the dining table and left wagging her tail.
Roger looked at her back, he was a little dizzy, and he still didn't understand what schemes were running through Margaret's head.
He finds himself for breakfast every day, and he doesn't say what it is. It can't be to gain favorability.
However, Roger has never rejected her, and he still has his little things:
When cooperating in the military department before, he felt that Margaret was not hopeless, and there was still a chance to bring her back from the narrower and narrower road, to avoid the tragedy in the game plot.
There are infinite opportunities in the empire, no matter how Du Wei is, there is no need to compete with Angelina all the time. There are so many blue oceans that need to be explored, and then to gain the favor of the Queen of Eternal Night, why bother to squeeze the single-plank bridge?
If Margaret could think about it a little bit, the Charles family would have one less enemy.
It's not a good feeling to be thought about by a prime minister who suggested cutting off his head every day...
But how to enlighten Margaret, Roger has never had a good idea.
Well, to be more precise, I have never thought about this matter.
After all, I can't finish the things in my hands. Wouldn't it be nice to have that spare time to go on a date with little Joey?
If it doesn't work, head over to the magician's camp and chat with Tasika!
Most of the time, Margaret is like a little hedgehog and doesn't show face to you at all. For Roger, the younger brother of the enemy, it's really hard to find an entry point.
What's more, he is now trusted by Queen Eternal Night. I'm afraid Margaret will find him doubly unpleasant.
But now, this small ceiling fan was delivered to Dio on her initiative, which made Roger see an opportunity.
Perhaps this identity can be used to reconcile the conflict between Margaret and his sister.
Although I still don't have any specific ideas, if I follow the trend and continue to observe, there may be a chance...
Roger made up his mind to wait and see what happened, so he put Margaret's affairs aside, and began to sort out the topics to be discussed when he entered the palace.
Although the road to the centralization of the empire has been determined, how to go about it? Even Roger, a modern person, only knows the result, not the process.
China's history is too long, there are only a few words in the history books about the big things, and the conflicts of interest, courage, and wisdom behind them have all been omitted.
He didn't have a completely correct answer on how the Green Vines Empire should take the next step.
Just like the "Imperial Charter", he gave some general directions for reference, but the specific items were discussed between Angelina and the cabinet ministers.
They, the people of the empire, are the ones who understand the national conditions of the empire best. Under Roger's strategy that transcends the times, they select specific tactics to implement.
So in terms of follow-up development, Roger helped the empire establish a general direction. But he could only establish a general direction.
As for the results, it is already enough to check whether the empire has gone astray. It's impossible to have the foresight of every specific thing.
So the more deeply he participates in the governance of the empire now, the more he feels that his contribution is insufficient, and he regrets why he didn't read more history textbooks and political textbooks.
Or make more commentary videos of P club games, expand relevant knowledge, and become wise (*￣︿￣)
So now, even if Roger has the consciousness of a modern person, standing in his position, he can still have a humble attitude. Learn more, think more, and improve his basic skills so that he can be more aggressive in cabinet meetings.
He indeed has many beautiful pictures in his mind, but how to realize them is a long way off.
...
...
After walking out of Dio's house, Margaret didn't leave immediately. She stood at the door, showing a bit of confusion, her tail drooping listlessly.
What have I been doing these days... Why does it seem like I have forgotten my original intention?
She came to Roger because of an imperial meeting in Fergus Castle. Roger and Angelina sang together to finalize the imperial policy, leaving her aside and making her feel weak, pitiful, and helpless.
So since she was motivated, Margaret felt that she urgently needed foreign aid in the cabinet.
In the end, the foreign aid candidate she chose was Dio Brando.
Compared with other noble cabinet ministers, this civilian-born cabinet is the closest to herself as a demon half-breed, and he doesn't show that much discrimination and hostility towards her.
Of course, there is no special intimacy. I chatted a few times, but it was neither salty nor bland. It was a normal colleague's attitude.
But it doesn't matter, I can take the initiative.
She knew that in the official circles of the empire, she was not very popular, but this was not a matter of her charm.
It's because she is an extreme fan of Queen Yongye. Facing those greedy, obscene, and self-interested nobles, she naturally has to put on a tough stance, not afraid of offending anyone, to protect Her Majesty's interests, which has ruined her popularity.
But Dio was different. He was born as a commoner, and he didn't have the stink of those nobles. He dared to write the history of the empire in a straight line and dared to speak out in court about the flaws in the Queen's decision-making.
Margaret was very angry at the time, but now that she thought about it, this is also a manifestation of loyalty, she is responsible to the empire and Her Majesty, and that's why she dared to disregard personal honor, disgrace, life, and death, and make such a move.
After figuring this out, Margaret became less and less resistant to taking the initiative to approach Dio and finally decided to break the ice and draw closer to Dio.
Let's start with delivering breakfast every day.
It's just that while eating breakfast, the two of them communicated more and more. She found that her mind was more than simply thinking of becoming allies.
