Chapter 510 The Royal Family and the North
Although he was interrupted from fishing and had to go back to sit in the office and continue working, Purficott also dragged Princess Anne over and asked her to Help yourself with various matters.
This undoubtedly made Princess Anne feel that she had shot herself in the foot. She was unwilling to deal with these government affairs, especially since what Purficott had given her was political affairs in the north. , it’s not her responsibility.
However, Princess Anne did not resist these things, she was just a little reluctant.
But Purficott plausibly said that since she interrupted her rest time, she could only come to help her, and to a certain extent, Purficott was also doing it for the future. Be prepared.
After all, the North is her territory. Logically speaking, everything in the North belongs to her. Even the king cannot change this, or interfere with it beyond her.
This is an ancient and sacred contract between nobles and kings. Although the traditional feudal system has been broken with the advent of the industrial age and capitalism, at least legally the northern border is the territory of Perfectcott. , as long as the empire still recognizes this, it must respect her right to rule the north.
Not to mention, Purficott's control over the Northern Territory is also in place. Even if the empire's center has been moved to the Northern Territory, she cannot interfere with her control and rule of the Northern Territory.
However, although this is the case legally, the purpose of Purficott and the empire from the beginning was to build the northern border into a shelter that could cope with the apocalyptic disaster, rather than to seal off the territory.
Moreover, the center of the empire has now been moved to the north. If Purficott does not think of unnecessary conflicts or unnecessary troubles, she must consider how to place the nobles and important ministers in the center of the empire. And more importantly, how to coordinate the relationship between the northern border and the imperial center.
This is like the traditional feudal era. The king came to the territory of a certain lord because of refuge. If the king did not want to betray his relatives, he could not interfere with the lord's ownership of his territory.
But at the same time, the lord must also respect the king, because that is the monarch to whom he is loyal.
As for coercing the emperor to order the princes, or the king taking the opportunity to seize the vassal's territory, that is another situation.
Although Purficott has the foundation to be a powerful minister, she is not interested in this kind of thing.
Her purpose from the beginning was to deal with this disaster, and now she has done what she can. If it were not for the evil sect and the returning old gods threatening the future of mankind, she would Maybe just leave it all behind and go hide for some peace and quiet.
After all, working overtime every day to deal with these government affairs is really too difficult for Purficott.
If she really likes to do this, why would she need to make a stand-in doll to replace herself while her real body goes fishing and soaking in hot springs?
But it was obviously impossible for her to say this to others, not even to Princess Anne.
Although Purfict can share various things with Princess Anne based on their relationship, her status as the eldest princess also determines the existence of conflicts between her and Purfict. Differences in political stance.
If nothing else, even if Purficott is really willing to give up the power of the Northern Territory, she can do so, but the officials in the Northern Territory and her vassals will not agree to this. Give up power.
Power is a good thing, everyone wants it, and even if the person who really has power doesn't want it, those with interests will force her to continue to hold the power in her hands.
It is precisely because of this that Perficott had to seize the power of the North and ensure that everything was under his control.
As for the imperial center? She could only transfer part of her power to a certain extent, and adopt an attitude of respecting the royal family and the center of the empire, in order to stabilize the demands of a certain group of people. As for the royal family itself, although the Queen and Princess Anne do not value power that much and were already trying to gradually transfer royal power to Parliament before the disaster, it is impossible for the royal family to declare a constitutional monarch now.
The reason is the same as the reason why Purficott cannot give up power in the north.
The contradiction between the two positions has undoubtedly caused various conflicts between the Northern Faction and the Imperial Faction.
Although with the pressure of Perficott and the premise that mankind must face a doomsday crisis, everyone should exercise restraint as much as possible, but conflicts will always break out one day.
Perfect now asks Princess Anne to intervene in the affairs of the North, which is actually a signal.
Although she is unwilling to deal with these bad things, it does not mean that she does not know how to deal with these things.
"Aunt Anne, in which city do you plan to relocate the empire's center and royal family?" Purficott flipped through the documents in her hand and looked at the contents. She suddenly asked: "There's another northern city." Officials at the border reported that there were conflicts between the nobles who had migrated from the empire and the local residents. This was the sixth time this month! ”
The implication of Purficott's words is obvious.
Princess Anne couldn't help but have a headache, and she didn't want to care about these things.
But as the heir to the imperial throne, she clearly understands that there are some things that can't be ignored if she doesn't want to.
So after thinking for a while, she said: "Perhaps the royal family should be relocated to Belloberg? Chernobog is the capital of the North, and it is inappropriate for the royal family and the center of the empire to be here."< br>
In fact, if the royal family and the empire center want to seize power in the north, then staying in Chernobog is the most advantageous approach.
After all, this is the ruling center of the entire Northern Territory, and everything that happens in Chernobog will affect the entire Northern Territory.
But if the royal family and the empire center take the initiative to go to Beloberg, it means that they have chosen to avoid it and ceded the right to rule the north.
This is why both Princess Anne and Purficott hate politics, because even if they just do some actions to avoid trouble, they will be interpreted as various messages by interested people.
So instead of doing this, don’t give in to avoid conflicts.
Hearing what Princess Anne said, Purficott nodded in agreement after thinking for a while: "In that case, then build a new city in Beloberg to house the various facilities in the empire's center. Department, and also built a temporary palace for the royal family.”
Although it is said to be a temporary palace, in fact as long as the royal family does not plan to return to Longton, this will basically be the official palace in the future.
"Keep everything simple. At this time, you should put all your resources on how to build more energy towers and shelters." Princess Anne persuaded Perfectcott.
