Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 626 The Queen's Persuasion

The development of things did not exceed Perfect's expectations. The prime minister and cabinet system was conducive to the concentration of power and could also break free from the shackles of parliament. It was a tempting bait for those who were determined to gain greater power.

Even though they knew that their throats would be pierced by the fishhook if they swallowed it, they still couldn't wait to swallow it.

This system was quickly discussed and approved by the Imperial Conference, and it was decided to hold the first election for prime minister after the reorganization of the National Assembly was completed.

Perfect was not surprised at the news. He even felt that these people were very patient in waiting until the National Assembly was reorganized before electing a prime minister.

"I thought they would be more eager to elect a prime minister and a cabinet, and then control the parliament through the prime minister and the cabinet! I didn't expect they would have the patience to form a parliament first." In a mansion in Belloberg, Perfect was drinking tea with the queen. She couldn't help but express her opinion when she mentioned this matter.

The Queen's health is getting worse day by day, and she is refusing treatment, which makes the situation worse.

Even Perfect can only use the excuse that "Princess Anne is still young and her death will shake the empire" to hold the empress back.

But even so, it was no problem for the Queen to have afternoon tea with Perfecto and chat about the recent major events in the empire.

It’s just that the Queen’s energy is not as high as before, and most of the time she just listens without making any response.

But when Perfect mentioned the cabinet and the prime minister, the queen nodded approvingly and said affirmatively: "With the advent of a new era, the knowledge and ability required to manage a country are getting higher and higher. It is no longer possible for the monarch to manage a country personally as in the past.

It is inevitable to set up a special management agency and let special people do special tasks. It is also helpless to disperse the imperial power that has been concentrated with great difficulty.

But this is also a development of the times. The history of kings handling various affairs personally and the country being run by lords of all sizes will eventually be gone. Perhaps it is not bad to hand over power to the people like France did. What do you think, little Perfect?"

"The system is not a sign of advancement or not. Feudalism or democracy are just forms. The key lies in whether this system can be effectively implemented." Perfect shook his head and did not respond to the topic raised by the Queen.

And with her knowledge, she had long understood that the parliamentary system would largely become a sinkhole, and democratic elections even more so.

However, she did not intend to tell the Queen about these things. After all, even in the original world, these problems would happen two hundred years later. For the current empire, this is still a very advanced system, and those who are elected are still elites, not as bad as those political animals that later developed into the ultimate form.

The Queen didn't care about Perfectok's attitude. She understood that some things were no longer something Perfectok could decide whether he wanted to or not.

So she tacitly did not bring it up again, but asked Perfecto, "Little Perfecto, will you run for the first prime minister of the empire? You have the ability and prestige. If you are willing, I can express my support for you on behalf of the royal family."

For the Queen, supporting Perfecto was a cost-effective and multi-faceted undertaking.

She was of course aware of Perfect's disinterest in politics, but she also knew that Perfect was indeed capable of making the country a better place. And the product of this special situation in the North was not a good thing for the entire empire in a sense.

There are now various problems within the empire. The Queen has long been aware of the contradiction between the emerging bourgeoisie and the aristocracy. The conflict of interests between the two has become the primary problem that the empire needs to face.

If she were still young and had enough energy and determination, she might be able to slowly solve these problems.

But now she is dying, and although the heir she is training is not incompetent, he is still a little lacking in quality.

If the external environment of the empire is stable, then the queen will not care. Although there are many insects among the nobles of the empire, there is no shortage of loyal people who perform their duties. Relying on them, the empire can still overcome difficulties.

But it happened to be the end of the world, and the empire was facing a very severe test.

The best way to solve various problems at this time is of course to put Perfect in the position of Prime Minister and use this position to restrain her from splitting the North from the Empire.

After all, she is the Prime Minister and holds great power in the empire. It would be too embarrassing if she deliberately split the North away.

What's more, the Queen herself knew clearly that Perfectot had no such ambition. In addition to preventing this possibility from happening, the most important thing was to suppress such ideas from arising within the Northern faction.

The Queen knew very well that sometimes once the people below had a certain idea and it became a trend, it would drag others and even leaders in that direction, causing many problems to deviate from their original track.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a possibility, and also to use Perfectot's talents to help the empire through this difficult period, placing Perfectot in the position of prime minister is the best way at the moment.

But for Perfect, she really didn't want to be this crappy prime minister.

So she shook her head and said to the Queen: "Forget it. This kind of work, which is both laborious and exhausting, will not get you a good position in the end. I'd better leave it to those who really want to be Prime Minister! I don't have the energy or mood to argue with a bunch of insects about trivial matters every day."

"If you don't want to govern this country with the insects, then replace them all. When you become the prime minister, you will have the power, right?" The queen looked at Perfectoct lovingly with a slightly mischievous smile on her face: "To do what you want to do and to make this country what you want it to be, isn't this the meaning of power?

Isn't the reason why others yearn for this position because they want to impose their own will on this country and make it become what they want it to be?
Instead of asking someone else to do it, why don’t you do it? There will always be times when someone disagrees with you.”

"Even if I really sit in that position, the emperor of the empire will become a decoration?" Perfect asked back.

"If the emperor needs to become a decoration for the better of the country, then make him the most gorgeous decoration." Although the queen's voice was weak, her words were full of sonorous determination.
