"Yo! Big slacker, I thought you were going to sleep until the sun went down! "Probably because she was born with thick nerves, Lyudmila didn't feel much about the change in identity, and she had the audacity to mock His Royal Highness the prince in public.

Roland felt that he could not condone this bad atmosphere, and walked over and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"How do you know I've just woken up, could it be that you snuck into my bedroom to observe?"

"What do you mean by sneaking in, I'm doing my rounds openly!" Lyudmila pretended to be reasonable, but her face couldn't help but flush, "I am the chief butler of the royal family, of course, I must know the quality of His Royal Highness's sleep at any time." ”

"When did you become the Great Butler, Old George, does you know?" Roland looked at her suspiciously.

"I sealed it myself!" The giant girl crossed her hands on her hips and did not show weakness, "Old George was invited by me at my expense, and he has to listen to me!" ”

"If you really care about whether I sleep well, you should stay with me...... Forget it, don't talk about this. ”

In front of his elders, Roland was embarrassed to flirt. However, Lyudmila had already heard his subtext, and her pretty face turned even redder, and she glared at him fiercely: "You bad guy, what is going on in your head!" ”

Evgenia smiled and looked at the little couple arguing, came over to hug Roland, pulled her daughter and walked out the door: "Their father and son have something to talk about, don't make trouble here." ”

"Really! Genia, don't always treat me like a child, okay! The eldest girl, who thought she was mature enough, also wanted to stay and make suggestions for national affairs, but she was forcibly dragged away by her mother.

Rudolph picked up his pipe and pointed to the chair across the desk, "Sit down, what you said yesterday afternoon touched me a lot, go back and think about it, our country is like a house that has just been erected, a fragile gust of wind can blow it down, and national building is like adding bricks and tiles, far more complicated than erecting a shelf, where to start makes me feel big, tell me your opinion." ”

Roland noticed that his father's face was slightly tired, which showed that he was overthinking and did not sleep well. Polishing a match to light tobacco for his father, he sat down with his hands on his cheeks and stared intently at the blue mist rising from his pipe.

"Why don't you speak?" Rudolph asked his son with a smile.

"I'm thinking of a basic question," Roland said unhurriedly, looking into his father's eyes, "and we already have a country, so the next question is what kind of political system we are going to design for this country." ”

Rudolph smiled, "This is indeed a big problem, not only you and I are concerned, many people have been discussing this issue since the victory of the revolution, as far as I know, the intellectuals and merchant class in the capital are especially concerned about this matter, just now Genia conveyed to me the opinion of the majority of the Club of the Awakened, and the call for a constitutional government is very high, hoping to establish a constitutional monarchy like Fizhen in the Far East, but the army has a different opinion on this, Alexei and Pavel conveyed to me the general attitude of middle and high-ranking officers, They are willing to pledge allegiance to me and to the royal family, but they do not want to see the prime minister or the leader of a political party become the commander-in-chief of the army, so they prefer an absolute monarchy. ”

"Both opinions are reasonable, but they also have their drawbacks, and I think you can compromise and retain as much royal power as possible under the premise of constitutionalism." Roland replied.

Rudolph was not satisfied with this vague statement, and immediately asked: "How to compromise, tell me more specifically." ”

"In principle, I am not opposed to constitutionalism, but the matter of constitutionalism cannot be decided by the awakened faction, you are the monarch of this country, what kind of requirements do you have for royal power? I mean the bare minimum. ”

"I have seriously considered this question, and the preliminary conclusion is that at least the following five points must be guaranteed: first, the right of the sovereign to enter into an alliance or to declare war on the enemy nation on behalf of all the people; secondly, the hereditary power of the monarch must be guaranteed by law; Thirdly, the monarch is the supreme commander of the army, and the military must swear allegiance to the monarch, the personality symbol of the state; Fourth, the monarch has the right to dispose of the country's fiscal revenues; Fifth, the monarch should have the power to dissolve the cabinet. Rudolph finished speaking, took a deep breath on his pipe, and looked at his son with an inquiring gaze.

Through Rudolph's coherent demands, Roland heard that he had thought deeply about the boundaries of the monarch's power, and analyzed the feasibility on the basis of these five requirements.

"The first three are not a big problem, the fourth and fifth are a bit troublesome, let's talk about the fourth article first, in modern times, the governments of Varess have established a relatively complete financial budget system, looking at the Yasan Empire and the major princely states, including the emperor of the holy city of Yashan, no monarch is so absurd as to dare to spend all the treasury on royal expenses, which is both unnecessary and will attract criticism, I propose to amend it to "The monarch has the right to withdraw a part of the national tax as a guarantee of royal life", It seems reasonable to set the maximum ratio of royal income to national tax revenue in the form of legislation, and as for the ......monarch's power to dissolve the cabinet," Roland smiled lightly, "If you insist on fighting for this power, of course I will support you, but we must be mentally prepared for a long and protracted war of words with the cabinet ministers." ”

Roland knew very well that every power that his father was fighting for now would be written into the constitution, and as the undisputed heir of the Kingdom of Kolas, the legitimate power that his father had now won would also be inherited by him in the future, so even if it was a little excessive, he would stand on his father's side and try his best to help fight for it.

Rudolph nodded, "I'll think about it carefully, by the way, there is one more thing I almost forgot to tell you, the Awakening Club intends to reorganize into a political party, what is it called the 'Party of Order'." ”

"Party of Order?" Roland's face changed, "What does it have to do with Fei Zhen's order party?" ”

"There is no direct affiliation, but the party program of the Awakening is basically copied from the program of Fei Zhen's party of order, and the backbone of the party is also from the big businessmen, big factory owners, bankers, and intellectuals, which can be regarded as a spiritual 'fraternal party'." Rudolph thought that his son did not know much about the current situation of party politics abroad, so he introduced to the political ecology of Fijgen, the world's first and most representative constitutional monarchy in Vares: "Fijen has two major political parties in China, and they have formed a government for a long time." The Party of Order is conservative and mainly represents the interests of businessmen, and from the point of view of the party's main thrust, it promotes mercantilism in foreign trade and magic industrialization in domestic construction, but its attitude towards the people at the bottom is relatively indifferent, and it is not merciless in suppressing the domestic workers' movement; in addition, there is also an opposition party, which calls itself the 'Party of Fairness', which demands that the state give more welfare guarantees to the people at the bottom, and makes a lot of noise, but it has not yet been given the opportunity to form a government, and it is not known whether its governance ability is as beautiful as their propaganda slogans. ”
