.    Political science is vulgar if it does not use history to broaden its horizons; if history is not related to actual politics, it will degenerate into pure literature.  ¡±¡ª¡ªSir John Leigh

    After repeating my original declaration in the Imperial Parliament, I raised my head and looked at the seats of nobles and citizens of Weeping Willow City in the court.  "To the subjects of the Empire, I hope that you can enjoy as much as possible the freedoms and rights that everyone should have; but I must tell you that your freedoms and rights include the imperial government you have;  Life and property belong to your own laws, not to your share in the power of the government.

    "Because there is nothing of your own in that governmental power, not me, not the Imperial Parliament, not the Imperial Nobles, not the Imperial subjects, neither I nor you have any legal property in the Imperial Government.

    The rights in the imperial government are granted to everyone in this empire by His Majesty the Emperor. Let us better safeguard what can ensure the safety of your property and lives - the law.  Labor, taxes, everything is based on thisand I am here precisely because of the reverence for this right, the reverence for His Majesty the Emperor. If I am willing to use force to make all of this surrender to me, then I don't need to  came here.

    "It is precisely because His Majesty the Emperor has given us the right to form this government that, as the executor of His Majesty the Emperor's will, I cannot use His Majesty the Emperor's troops to suppress the legal rights that His Majesty the Emperor has given us.  Similarly, in accordance with the wishes of His Majesty the Emperor, we modified the laws of the empire, even though many people complained about it at the beginning.  But now, the examples we have experienced have justified it, a code that protects the legitimate rights of all.  It protects us all, royalty, nobles and commoners.

    I am also happy to see that you are beginning to know how to protect your rights.  This is what His Majesty the Emperor wants to see, and it is also what the Imperial Family wants to see, because you already understand how to reasonably use the rights granted to you by His Majesty the Emperor.

    As for how to maintain it, I hope everyone here will remember my words.  Whether you are royalty, nobility or subjects of the empire, I hope you will remember this.  Remember this every time you use this right to protect your own interests.  If the powerful can ignore the law, destroy and trample the law wantonly, then how can the powerful ensure the safety of their own lives or their own property?  "

    After finishing speaking, he looked around the silent court, smiled and nodded gently.  Then he walked down with the "Word of God"

    A moment later applause suddenly rang out from behind, resounding throughout the entire court.

    Hearing the applause from behind me and looking at Kailo who looked a little excited in the royal seat, I smiled lightly.  Kailo is still too young. I think under Li's guidance, he will understand when he grows up.

    Holding power in hand and denying power.  This is also the most shameless thing I have ever said in my life.  But it works.  The imperial nobles and subjects, who are now in a weak position, need these very much.  Especially for the people of the Holy Rana Empire who have begun new thinking.  Sometimes a king rules a country with the same laws as a gang leader.  At any time.  Saying nice things with a stick is much more effective than just saying nice things without a weapon.  And what I did today.  It's just holding a stick and saying nice things.

    As for the difference between a wise king and a faint king in historythe former carries a stick and says good things.  The latter just beat people randomly with sticks.  A person who hits someone with a stick may quickly attract retaliation.  And a king wields power and beats people randomly.  The burial place is his own kingdom.  Take a look at all the kings and gang leaders throughout the ages.  It will always last longer to hold a stick in hand and say it is to safeguard justice.  But he only knows how to hit people with a stick.  Idiots who go around shouting "might makes right" are often just arrogant for a moment.  Want to become a believer in "might makes right".  The first thing to do is to look at how the kings who have repeatedly repeated this sentence and succeeded in using power in history.

    It is natural for people to yearn for freedom, happiness and all beautiful things.  But it is also instinctive to avoid difficulties and fears.  Power is a group effect based on evasion of responsibility and fear in people's disordered nature.  Savior.  king.  This is how dictators are born.  If they give people the land of fear.  Then you will only get a group of slaves who are timid and continue to evade responsibility.  And now this country does not need slaves without responsibility and identity.  We already have too many slaves from previous wars.

    There are two ways to fight in the world: one is to pass laws.  The other is through force.  "The Prince" in the previous life has made it very clear.  This is not just telling kings how to choose their "weapons".  It is also telling the kings what kind of struggle they are prepared to give to their subjects.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

      "You are the best father" on the carriage returning to Weeping Willow Palace.  Kailo, who had been silent since coming out of the court, suddenly raised his head.  Said this to me.  "You are an example of chivalry."

    After listening to the second half of the sentence, I fell silent.  After a while, he smiled helplessly and put his hand on Kailo's shoulder.  Shaked his head:

    "My spirit is too far away from me, Kailo. Everything I do is contrary to what you see today."  Sometimes what you see may not be real. The reason why I do this is because I understand that a monarch does not have to have all the good qualities, but it is necessary to appear to have all the qualities.  Try to appear kind, trustworthy, humane, pious, and upright, if possible.  However, you must be mentally prepared at the same time. When you think you must give up doing this, it is best for you to know the opposite method.

    "For responsibilities that may threaten the authority of the royal family, the monarch should entrust others to arrange it, while matters of honor should be handled personally.  What I did in the past was to hand over this right of responsibility to the imperial government and the Parliament of Nobles. What I do today is just to follow your grandfather's teachings and let everything take its course, showing kindness and kindness.

    You will become the emperor of this country in the future and rule this country from a height that I have never stood before, just like your grandfather.  So every word that comes out of your mouth should demonstrate the five virtues I mentioned, especially if you are not prepared to give up doing so.  As your father, I spend very little time with you, and the time that father and son spend alone together like now is even less, so there is not much I can teach you.

    But when father and son are alone like this, I still hope to be able to tell you something that I have never told your mother or any other mistress. I think you can understand it now.  Because I believe you will have many mistresses in the future"

    As I said that, I sighed softly, and with Kailuo's confused look on my face, I continued: "Kailo, I love your mother, and the things you heard about my past when you were by your mother's side may be beautiful. But  I have to tell you personally because I might make the same mistake in the future.¡±

    "Is she the mistress?"

    "No, uh she is a mistress, but not all mistresses. I have never regretted any other mistresses, only one of them. She was the wife of the lord of Weeping Willow City. This is what I must warn you. As a  For a king, the most hated thing is for the king to be greedy and violate the property and women of his subjects. The original mistake caused Gordon to die for many soldiers because of those direct and indirect relationships. Soldiers can  He should die for any other reason than the greed of his commander."

    "Well I think I will remember it, father. But I don't like Christina to be my queen." The topic between father and son did help the relationship between father and son, and Kailo also gave his thoughts to  Speak up.

    "Why? Christina is very good. Smart, beautiful, gentle and polite."

    "She is too weak and does not have the attitude that an imperial queen should have. I hope that my queen can be like my mother and sister. Although Queen Christine is very good to me, I don't want my queen to be like her in the future.  "

    "Haha" He smiled and rubbed Kailo's hair.  "Don't let the nobles of the Fire Eagle Kingdom and the Principality of Hessen hear what you say, otherwise they will jump with anger. Moreover, I don't think you need a queen like your mother and sister. The subjects of the empire need a queen even more.  Gentle queen, I believe you will like her when she grows up. She is still a child now. And you are about to become an adult. And you won't see her for another year. You must go  Return to Stone Castle and stay at the headquarters of the Knights of Gordon for four years, while also trying to complete the documents I asked the Imperial Government to handle for you. Did your brother-in-law tell you about what happened in the military camp?  ?¡±

    "Well, yes." Kailo nodded twice in succession, and his excitement was palpable: "I can't wait."

    ¡°Didn¡¯t Wallace tell you that he was as tired as a dead dog every day at Toss Fortress?¡±

    "No!" Kailo shook his head: "But he showed me the whip marks on his body. The chief military minister had whipped them himself when he went to inspect the Toss Fortress. My sister was very distressed and ran to talk to her mother and Her Majesty the Queen.  She complained, but her mother ignored her, and she went to the Chief Military Minister's house to cause trouble for Mr. Lan Yuan."

    ¡°¡­¡± I was speechless after hearing what Kailo said. I really didn¡¯t know what to say to this.  Finally, he blinked twice and said, "Well your sister is better than your mother. What happened next? Did Lan Yuan find Her Majesty the Queen or your mother?"

    Kailuo pursed his lips and shook his head and replied: "Well, this?I don¡¯t know.  Later, Mrs. Lan Yuan and my sister returned to Weeping Willow Palace together. She and my sister were talking and laughing. As for the Chief Military Minister, he didn't like to talk much in those days.  "

    "Uh from now on it will be my turn to patrol the stone castle and whip you."

    "Are you willing?"

    "No matter how reluctant you are, your grandfather beat me to pieces when I was a child."

    "UhFather."

    "What's wrong?"

    "Younever mentioned anything about my grandfather to me."

    "Uh" (To be continued,)
