Chapter 223: Not the Supreme King?2

"Are you saying that your power is limited?" asked Dream, "you are the most noble person in the country, and your power should not be controlled by any means, is there anything you can't do?"

Dream was indeed quite incomprehensible - she had the impression that the king should be able to do anything, like the emperor of the Floating Continent, who could dictate anything, but the king said that he needed a talisman......

"You don't know, in the nations of the widows—oh, or rather, in a considerable part of the nations of the earth—the power of the king is limited. The king said, "The power of the army, the power of money, the power of the law, and so on, are divided among the ministers." ”

This way of governing can be found in many surface nations - as the king said, his abilities are limited, whether it is the judgment of events or the energy to deal with affairs, it is impossible for one person to deal with everything. Therefore, the state needs to delegate power to various departments in order to function effectively. In order to prevent the king from changing the decisions of the ministry for personal reasons, measures were generally taken to limit the king's power.

This is completely different from the floating continent management model in the fantasy impression - in fact, this way of decentralization is more correct. As for the kind of emperor who is able to interfere in all the policies of the floating continent, it is based on two conditions - first, the people of the floating continent are generally moderate and will generally adopt a fully cooperative attitude towards the newly issued policies; second, the management of the floating continent is all for the people from top to bottom, and will not mix the slightest bit of their own interests in it, and the policies formulated are naturally completely in line with the interests of the people. Under the influence of these two aspects, there is no obstacle to the implementation of the policy of the entire floating continent - however, there are no countries on the surface that meet such conditions.

"In other words, don't you have the power to make the army retreat now?" asked Dream, frowning. If he said so, it would be too funny for the king of a country to do nothing.

"Yes, the outnumbered have no right to make the army retreat directly. The king shook his head, "The widow can only decide some important matters that affect the fate of the country, such as the direction of the development of the whole country. There is really no way for a widow to interfere in something like this. ”

It seems that there is no way to start from his side......

"In that case, there's nothing you can do?" said with a sigh, "You know, if the war continues, it will be detrimental to the development of the country......

"That's right, and the widow is also very worried. The King nodded with a sad face—the Dream could see that his expression was not so sincere, and seemed to be ...... Pretended.

"Didn't you make any effort to stop the fighting?" asked Phantasmaginee again.

I was already beginning to doubt the position of this king...... No, the king was quite suspicious from the start.

"If you want to stop the fighting, you have to ask the Minister of War to give you the order. "The widow has proposed to him many times," said the king, "but he shows no sign of withdrawing...... Why don't you try to convince him?"

Did you actually throw such a troublesome errand to yourself...... There's no reason to shirk it!
