Chapter 422 The History of the Principality of Principe

The Principality of Princes was established in the 110th year of the New Era, and has a history of more than a hundred years.

At first, it was separated from the southern realm of the empire.

At the beginning, it also followed an imperial rule structure similar to an empire.

However, a series of wars followed, resulting in an increasing number of immigrants in the country.

This creates conflicts between immigrants and original nationals.

In addition, there is also a conflict between the races and civilizations of the East and the West.

In order to balance various contradictions, the Principality finally revised its ruling method, adopting a mode in which the eastern and western palaces take turns ruling.

The East Palace is biased towards Eastern civilization, while the West Palace is based on Western civilization.

The East Palace is mainly composed of the Dongfang family.

For Nishinomiya, the Campbell family is the leader.

The emperor was chosen from the closest descendants of their two families.

And take turns governing.

In principle, the emperor is replaced every 24 years.

Strictly speaking, the so-called emperor is actually a hybrid of the Dongfang family and the Campbell family.

Of course, it mainly depends on the performance of the dominant gene.

The emperor's wife has two.

An Donggong was selected from the Dongfang family.

The other is from the Campbell family.

The next emperor will be born from their offspring.

Generally speaking, the emperor who was born in the East Palace will be in power this time, and the next one will be the one from the West Palace.

So take turns swapping.

Hearing this, Yuan Xiao found it interesting: "What if the queen doesn't have any children?"

Su Ye explained: "That will select a new emperor from the corresponding family."

For example, the next time it is Donggong's turn to be in power, and the Empress of Donggong has no heirs, a new successor will be selected from the Dongfang family.

In this way, the confusion of blood relationship caused by the marriage of close relatives is avoided to the greatest extent.

"It is said that it is the Dongfang family, but in fact, apart from the direct descendants, many of them belong to the five clothes," Su Ye continued, "There are also branches of other surnames, such as the Feng family, the Tang family, and the Du family, all of which belong to the Dongfang family. .

It's just that if the surnames are different, they have no right to inherit the throne.

The Campbell family at the West Palace is also in a similar situation. "

After the emperor is selected, the most important thing is the queen's choice.

Avoid the influence of close relatives, and generally choose the most core family in the family.

Of course there are other surprises as well.

For example, because of her beauty, talent, etc., she was chosen as the queen.

"East and west take turns to rule, and it is also the most distinctive political system in the New World," Su Ye affirmed this, "In the later 'Age of Disorder', great chaos and massacres did not occur in the principality, and that is the reason. "

Yuan Xiao can imagine that the historical background of this world is extremely special. The Principality adopts a relatively soft political system that takes into account Eastern and Western civilizations, which does have its benefits.

"Then is there any situation of continuous ruling?" Yuan Xiao asked.

Su Ye nodded: "Yes, but not many. The last time was the era of disorder. At that time, the emperor belonged to the Dongfang family. He served for three consecutive terms, that is, 36 years."

Yuan Xiao pinched his chin: "It seems that the strength of the Dongfang family should be higher than that of the Campbell family?"

Dominating a country for more than 30 years can indeed do a lot.

Unexpectedly, Su Ye shook his head: "The emperor at that time didn't have too much thought, and he had a good grasp of the balance between the two families.

After all, at that time, domestic problems were nothing compared to foreign troubles. "

It turns out that in the era of unity to the outside world, the interior is of course very united.

"On the contrary, the era of disorder ended, and after the mainland entered a period of peace, the internal conflicts that accompanied the struggle for imperial power became increasingly acute." This is also a common problem of all regimes, and Su Ye is helpless.

The development of human history is still inseparable from such a vortex, even if it is a new political system.

"That is to say, the struggle over the imperial power in the principality is very fierce," Yuan Xiao could imagine, "but strictly speaking, the blood relationship between the two families is actually mixed."

To put it bluntly, we are all relatives.

Su Ye nodded: "The direct line of the two families is related by blood, but the offshoots and branches do not include the separated families with other surnames, so the problem is complicated.

In addition, the political views of the two sides are also different.

Every change of imperial power is bloody.

In the beginning, the emperor's designation was all in advance, but later, the successor was frequently assassinated, and now it is rarely designated in advance. "

Yuan Xiao pondered, it seems that the imperial family of the principality is very introverted.

"This is also the reason why the political system is recognized by most people, but the principality is the weakest of the four major countries." Su Ye concluded.

Most of the resources are trapped in internal friction, and external expansion does not appear to be so urgent.

Yuan Xiao roughly understood the structure of the principality: "Then, what does this have to do with Xiaoman and me?"

Su Ye continued to explain.

In the past, the emperor's replacement and succession had bumps and bumps, but it still had results.

The problem lies with this emperor, that is, Dongfang Xiaoman's biological father - Sean Campbell.

Sean Campbell is the fourth emperor of the principality. Before he took the throne, he was said to be very talented.

But after succeeding to the throne, a series of performances were disappointing.

It's not a faint king, but it's far from a bright king.

Basically there is nothing to do, eating, drinking and having fun is its daily life.

That's all right, his Queen Donggong, who is Dongfang Xiaoman's mother, has only given birth to Dongfang Xiaoman's son so far.

On the other side of the West Palace, two princes were born.

But according to the change of regime, the next emperor should be born from the East Palace.

The problem is that Donggong gave birth to a daughter, namely Dongfang Xiaoman.

If the succession is forced like this, the empress will inevitably appear.

The New World is still a world where patriarchy prevails.

The so-called female emperor has never appeared in history.

This put the principality's imperial family in a dilemma.

Either support the empress, or if the regime is in power, continue to keep Nishinomiya in power.

Either way, the results are not satisfactory.

In addition, there is another solution, that is to choose another male from the Dongfang family in the East Palace as the next emperor.

But in this way, the existence of Dongfang Xiaoman has become an extremely embarrassing place.

"In recent years, it has basically revolved around this issue," Su Ye stared at Yuan Xiao, "There are countless people who want Xiaoman's life.

In addition to Xigong, there are also people in Donggong's own family who want Xiaoman's life. "

Yuan Xiao understood that the existence of Dongfang Xiaoman was a hindrance to the two palaces.

It must be removed and then quickly.

"Last year was Xiaoman's 20 years old family experience, so she simply left the imperial family and came to Lirenwell to carry out," Su Ye said, "If the experience is in China, it must be a bunch of assassinations."

Empress, it's not so easy to achieve.
