Chapter 701 Three-piece set for usurping the throne
Neither the Duke of Gloucester nor Prime Minister Wellington was obviously likely to agree to Perfectcott's request immediately, and it was impossible for them to agree.
If they agree to this, their political careers will be over.
Even if Purficott does not intend to become a dictator who rules and dominates everyone, the power without interference and restraint will still make her a power monster, breaking the already unbalanced politics of Victoria today. situation.
In fact, Purficott himself doesn't really want to break this balance.
With her resignation from all positions, a relatively stable pattern has now been formed among the Northern Faction, the Royalist Party and the emerging Workers' Federation.
Although their work efficiency is indeed not very good, it is compared with Purfico.
If you just look at themselves, Perficott thinks they are actually doing pretty well.
Moreover, Victoria's current power structure of separation of powers between the National Assembly, the cabinet, and the royal family is sufficient to ensure the smooth operation of the country. Her intervention will only disrupt all balances.
This is contrary to Purficott's idea.
She really didn't want to worry about it anymore. She had worked hard and done so much but still couldn't find a good one.
Of course, Purficott didn't really care about anything and just gave up his power.
As the lord of the North, she has not given up her territory. This means that even if she has no title or position, as long as the North is still under her control, the troops in the North will still listen to her. Then she can still control the situation and control everything.
After all, with the army in hand, she can truly achieve dictatorship at any time.
She doesn't do it, it's just that she doesn't want to do it, not that she can't do it.
What's more, just as the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Prime Minister of the Cabinet still come to beg her for work, even if Purficott does nothing, her influence on the entire Victoya is still here.
She can influence and interfere in the political situation at any time if she wishes.
This is a relatively ideal living situation for Purficott. He can exert influence on the political situation at any time, and no one dares to listen to his words. At the same time, he has no troublesome government affairs to deal with, and can spend most of his time doing what he wants. Things to do...
This kind of living state is probably very desirable to anyone.
Purficott has finally achieved such a life now, and of course she can't trick herself back into wiping the butt of those idiots in the government.
The reason why I deliberately mentioned this to the Duke of Gloucester and Prime Minister Wellington was just to put pressure on them, and at the same time, the lion asked for a high price.
She knew clearly that they would not agree and was waiting for their counter-offer.
According to Purficott's prediction, the bottom line they can agree to is to recognize the political independence of the North and Purficott's special status.
The political independence of the North is actually not very important to Purficott.
If this is realized, the Northern Territory will basically be equivalent to the past earldom or principality, roughly equivalent to a country within a country.
This is the most typical relationship model between feudal lords and vassals in the feudal era, and it is also a typical embodiment of the saying "A vassal's vassal is not my vassal".
However, with the development of society and technological progress, especially the explosion of productivity after the steam revolution, centralization of power became inevitable, and the power of local lords was gradually returned to the central government. At this time, it is no longer 'the vassal's vassal is also my vassal', but 'everyone is my vassal'.
Take the North as an example. Although the nobles and knights in the North are loyal to Perficott, they are also loyal to the country of Victoria and obey the decrees issued by the Queen, the head of state, as well as the National Assembly and the Cabinet.
But once the political independence of the North is recognized, everything will be different.
The nobles and knights in the north will only need to be loyal to Perficott. If she chooses to be independent, the north will no longer be Victoya's territory, and these nobles and knights will no longer have any obligations to Victoya.
Therefore, acknowledging this is a complete acknowledgment that the entire Northern Territory belongs to Purficott, and the Victoria Empire can no longer interfere, at least not with any rule of Purficott in the Northern Territory.
Although no one is interfering with Purficott's rule in the north, there is still a difference between no one interfering and no one being able to interfere.
After obtaining this legal recognition, if Purficott wants to be independent in the future, Victoya will have no reason to interfere or stop her.
The acknowledgment of Purficott's special status pales in comparison to the acknowledgment of this.
Especially now that Victoria has abandoned its core territory, and the northern border has actually become the new core territory, if it wants independence, Victoria will be severely damaged.
But for Purficott, the former does not actually bring about any substantial changes in interests. On the contrary, the latter is more worthy of concern.

After all, the latter can bring her more political benefits and allow Purficott to have a more transcendent status in Victoria's political arena.
As Purficott does not intend to seek independence in the north and become emperor herself, her political influence has now reached its peak and limit.
Unless she is willing to run for a term as prime minister or simply become a dictator herself, she is unlikely to go any further.
After all, she can already influence the election of the prime minister, and even the prime minister is hers. If she further expands her influence, she will be able to influence the royal family, and she will "do the old things of Yi Yin Huo Guang and imitate the example of Prime Minister Cao."
In other words, what Perfection is asking for today, in the words of the original world, is to gather the three-piece set of "false festival axe, opening ceremony of the government, together with the three divisions, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese and foreign military, and giving Jiuxi" to the powerful officials to usurp the throne.
In fact, she already has the Jie Jie Yue, and the term "extraordinary power" itself can be regarded as a symbol of royal authority.
It's just that at that time she was given such a title because she had a mission, and she didn't really have the authority equivalent to the emperor.
But for the current Purficott, this is actually no longer important. The authority of the northern lords is actually almost the same in terms of deterrence. The only difference may be the gap in righteousness.
Compared with the power of the Northern Lords, there is actually no substantial difference between the power of Kaifu Yi, the Third Division, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese and foreign military forces.
Purficott is the de facto lord of the Northern Territory. She possesses all the ruling power in the Northern Territory. She is considered a separate country both in fact and in law. She can even easily influence the country's domestic and foreign policies.
She is not the same as the three divisions, but can control the changes of the three divisions.
Only the last one plus Jiuxi is what Perfectcott lacks now and what she wants.
That is, a special status above all else in politics.
