Chapter 131 Centralization Order As Sally had expected, Queen Elizabeth declared that the war in the country would be extinguished, and that all the ruins were to be done, and that she would be the queen of the United Kingdom of Appia and Butany on the same day, with all the rituals and manners to be simple, without inviting envoys from other countries, and without extravagance.
The merger of the two countries, with Elizabeth Susu as Queen of the United Kingdom, was unanimously approved by the upper echelons of the Principality of Butani, known to the whole country, and her reasons were reasonable and reasonable, and there was no reason to stop it, and the queen's coronation ceremony was hastily completed in the presence of the dignitaries of Apia and Butani.
Subsequently, the queen issued three decrees in front of all dignitaries and dignitaries: 1.
General Francis was appointed as the supreme military commander of the country, and the garrisons of Appia, Butani and Croia were controlled.
Although Appia's army was clearly loyal to the queen alone, this order was still very pleasing to the military, at least after the merger of the two countries, the queen not only did not bring in her cronies to occupy the position in the Butani army, but also attached great importance and trust to the Butani army.
Article 2 The Cult of Hope shall be appointed as the State Religion of the United Kingdom and shall be followed by the teachings of the Cult of Hope.
This is something that everyone has thought of for a long time.
As for the concepts of "divine authority of the monarch" and "I am the state", these officials are more acceptable than the Holy Religion of Light, which puts divine power above the political power, because while praising the monarch, their status is also higher.
Before that, they couldn't hold their heads up in front of the clergy.
Baron Liorgis's family power was in favor of the Duchy of Butankani, and as a result, when people paid for the formation of a holy war to expedition to Apia, a few ordinary priests could also influence his decision, which shows the arrogance of the divine power.
Therefore, this doctrine is in line with the appreciation and approval of almost all the secular people in power, and the Pope and Archbishop Christopher were shocked when they heard this doctrine, precisely because this doctrine is so demagogic.
Once it is propagated, it is easy to ignite a wildfire in the hearts of the upper echelons of power and shake the thousand-year-old foundation of the Holy Religion of Light.
The Queen's third decree gives a glimpse of the political vigor and iron-fisted methods of this swaying and pitiful beauty.
She ordered: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, generals, nobles, judges, and other honorable lords: I, Elizabeth I, the first monarch of the United Kingdom of Appia and Butani, hereby solemnly declare and command you: No law shall be valid unless it is signed by my decree No diplomatic clause shall be null and void unless it is signed by my decree Unless I have decreed and signed it, any order to mobilize the army or to appoint or dismiss officers at or above the rank of general shall be null and void Unless I decree and sign it, any additional or reduced tax shall be void Unless there is an edict from me and I personally sign it, any major policy involving civil affairs, land, etc."
On this day, the historical loose feudal power structure of emperors, monarchs, lords, and city lords was broken, and the phenomenon of "my vassals are not my vassals" ceased to exist in the United Kingdom of Appia and Butani.
Elizabeth's five decrees, known as the "Five Divisions of Centralization", later became the standard for all kings, laying the foundation for the emergence of a unified civilization on the continent and the construction of a highly civilized centralized state.
Thousands of years later, academic articles unanimously held that the "divine authority of the monarch", "I am the state", and the "five divisions of the centralized order" were unified ideologically and culturally, which enabled the ancient system of feudal division of princes to advance into a more advanced civilization, so that the ideological and cultural imprisonment of thousands of years and the stagnation of the historical process were changed.
The great Elizabeth I, with her superhuman courage and foresight, pioneered the trend and became an indispensable and important figure in the course of history.
Her fearless courage and pioneering spirit have made her worthy of the title of a great man.
There are also many wild histories and biographies, which vividly describe how she was fearless and fearless in the face of the representatives of the old forces with outdated ideas, and how she was able to impress the ministers with grace and power.
At that time, the great god Jedi Sakr sat in the clouds, laughing at these vivid novels, and if it had not been for the angry Queen Elizabeth who kicked him in hatred and kicked him right again, he would have fallen off the clouds.
The truth is that at that time, all the adults of the civil and military generals did not say a word, but they were not impressed by her, but were confused by the whimsical decision of the queen.
They didn't react at all, and some even wondered if they had just put a tyrannical, militaristic and militaristic Grand Duke Butani in prison, only to have another mad queen.
If it were left to the Hereafter, such a decree would be nothing, and everyone would think that it should be so.
At that moment, however, it was an unprecedented feat that had never existed in people's minds before.
"My vassal's vassal is not my vassal", this is a system that the tyrannical and arrogant Archduke Butani who only knows how to use force can not be broken as a matter of course, and this is a system that the Emperor Tagore must also abide by.
As monarchs, they stand at the top of the pyramid of power, and can only directly control a small group of people.
Their decrees, taxes, and administrative powers have never been directly implemented in every corner of the country.
However, when the old power structure of the Duchy of Butani was completely destroyed, and more than two-thirds of the magnates, officials, and lords of the city died or were imprisoned due to religious internal struggles, regime changes in the principality, etc., and there was no new power structure to fill this gap, Queen Elizabeth whimsically proposed a new possibility in order to change the embarrassing situation that she was the invited monarch.
The queen finished announcing the decree and raised her head slightly.
On her beautiful and proud head, the countless precious stones adorned with a magnificent crown radiated a light as bright as the stars, making her look down like a goddess.
Then, with an elegant and confident smile, the queen announced her retirement from the court, and while all the civil and military officials were still in a daze, she got up and left the conference hall.
Elizabeth Susu left the conference hall, and as soon as she turned the corridor, her brisk and steady pace disappeared.
Since all the soldiers in the Grand Duke's Mansion had been replaced by new recruits from the military, and it was difficult to find out whether any of these people were loyal to the Grand Duke of Butani, for the safety of the Queen, Jedi temporarily served as the captain of her guard and stayed by her side.
At this time, when he saw her vague steps, he immediately stepped forward and supported her.
"What's wrong with you" Jedi couldn't help but be startled as soon as she helped her, the queen's face turned pale, fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably.
"I, me, me", half of the queen's body weight pressed on Jedi's body: "Take me back, I'm too nervous, I can't control myself."
Jedi hurriedly quickened his pace, helped her to the door of the dormitory, and saw that two maids were still following behind, and hurriedly said, "The queen is not very comfortable, you stay at the door" So saying, he helped her into the door, sat down at the table, poured her a glass of water, and the queen took a breath and drank it, and sat there gasping for a long time before the expression on her face returned to normal a little.
She pressed her heart and forced a smile: "Now the council hall must be messed up, if I am still there, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on to it now, if they see that I am stubble, it will be bad." ” "Look at you", Jedi took her hand and said softly, "Why didn't you make such a decision with me in advance, I am afraid that it will be counterproductive." ” Elizabeth shook her head lightly, her eyes flashing with wisdom: "No, Jedi, I have seriously considered the current situation of the Duchy of Butani, nearly two-thirds of the high-ranking officials and nobles have been killed or captured, and their territories and cities can be directly controlled in the hands of the principality, so that the principality has the vast majority of the power, and the remaining one-third are not aligned, there are many people who are wise and wise, and there are few who dare to rise up and do the opposite, so there is hope for success in this matter."
I lobbied General Francis, and with the Kingdom of Apia as my backing, if I don't change now, I won't have a chance in the future.
I have done this not only because of the evil consequences of the bloody and bloody struggle between the various forces of the two countries during this period of time, but also because the two countries have become one, which is easier said than done.
If there is no unification of government decrees and a high degree of centralization of power, even if it is as strong as when the Grand Duke was there, it will not be able to control it, and friction and conflicts will occur from time to time.
If I do not change, sooner or later I will have to follow in the footsteps of Grand Duke Butani, or stand on one side and become the executioner of the other, or I will be abandoned by both sides and imprisoned. ” At this time, her complexion had recovered, and her speech became calmer, she held Jedi's hand and said softly: "Last night, the Grand Duke's Mansion changed guards, you were busy, and the people around me also changed a lot of new people, so it was inconvenient to look for you for a while."
And my sudden return to the city yesterday has already disrupted the position of those who have other plans, and another strange move today will make their unstable alliance even more chaotic, so."
She let out a long sigh of relief and smiled: "Either I don't do it, if I want to do it, I will do a good job of this queen, my decision has been thrown out, now it's up to them, if they fight to let the Duchy of Butani continue to be chaotic and depose me as the queen, then I will go back to Apia."

If I need to stay, then I have to change according to my decision."
She put Jedi's hand on her cool jade, smooth and delicate cheeks, closed her eyes slightly, smiled at the corners of her lips, and said softly: "Whatever, with you by my side, I will be bold and dare to do anything."
In my life, from the princess to the queen, from the queen to the duchess who does not live up to the name, I have enjoyed the blessings that others have not enjoyed, and I have suffered the sins that others have not suffered.
But in the end, no matter how great my ability is, I have never really spread my wings and fly freely, no matter how great my ability is, I have always been a canary in a cage.
Until I met you, I pretended to be a little maid, happily by your side, doing those things that were copied and written, but my heart was both down-to-earth and comfortable.
I appeared with you in the legendary world of Babel, saw the tower that offended the main god, saw the golden turtle beside the god, and flew to the battlefield where thousands of troops and horses fought with the artifact."
"Everything is like a thrilling and interesting dream, in which I am always the only heroine, and you are my prince.
Now, really, with you by my side, I am not afraid of anything, I dare to do anything."
Elizabeth Susu suddenly laughed out loud, and the scene of her nervous face being pale seemed to have been thrown out of the clouds by her, and there was a mischievous smile in her eyes.
Jedi looked into her eyes and suddenly smiled.
What kind of authority and position, the country and the society, others hold it in their hands and tremble for fear of bumping it, I want to play it, as long as this heart can be put down and seen, I am afraid of it Queen Elizabeth's chaotic punch did catch these masters in the Butany officialdom off guard, they were secretly received by Queen Elizabeth yesterday, and after they came back, they all had ghosts in their hearts, and they didn't know who else secretly expressed their allegiance, and resolutely stood under the queen's flag.
Immediately after today, the queen has the audacity to announce an unprecedented "centralized order", if there is no strong people secretly supporting, she dares to be so arrogant, almost everyone believes that the queen has the strong support of people who can influence the regime, so they dare to issue such an order.
Needless to say, no one dared to contact them again, and the supreme leader of the military, General Francis, was returning to the city by car with the queen, and the queen showed extraordinary respect for the military.
She appointed Francis to control the Apia army, and the generals were rewarded with their own awards, and the gold coins used as pay were being shipped from the kingdom of Apia, even if the military people now patted their chests and said that they had nothing to do with the queen, no idiot would believe it.
Now what makes them even more jealous is that they don't know how many of these ostensibly angry officials are still playing, and if an official is cautious, more and less talk will arouse more officials' vigilance, and finally the atmosphere becomes extremely strange, because of the lack of trust, the officials are guarding against each other and expend a lot of strength, and the accusations against the queen become innocuous complaints.
The person who convened the meeting had already left, and the officials present had their own evil intentions, and the meeting ended.
The people of the council are still relatively trusting of each other because they are completely self-contained and do not have much interaction with other departments.
That night, Speaker Wilfer met with a few close friends and, after some deliberation, decided to convene Parliament tomorrow to veto the Queen's order.
When some of his friends hurried away to inform the other councillors, his wife, Mercetes, complained: "Wilfher, if you are sure that you have seen the joy of the people as the Queen enters the city, you should know that the people only want to live in peace."
The city of Butani has shed enough blood during this time, why do you have to run out against the queen at this time?"
"What stupid things to say" Speaker Villefer, who had a cowardly personality and did nothing when Butani was in power, rebuked his wife: "I am the Speaker, and this is the power given to me by the state.
I'm responsible for the people, it's a bad decision to bring Queen Apia as a monarch, she's even more dictatorial than the Grand Duke, go back to your bedroom, woman, you don't understand politics at all" Mrs.
Mel walked out of the room indignantly, and her daughter, overhearing the quarrel, whispered, "What has happened, mother?"
” Madame Mel shook her head and said, "Your cowardly father has stood in the shadow of the Grand Duke of Butani all his life, but he has been out of the limelight these days, and his head has begun to heat up.
It was the power of the army that overthrew the Grand Duke, the United Parliament, but the army wanted to find a basis for justice in law.
And your poor father has never enjoyed such applause and cheers, he is too intoxicated, and he really thinks that he has so much power in his hands, that he has become a savior, pray, my child, that your father will not anger the Queen."
The next morning, senior officials from various departments such as finance, foreign affairs, civil affairs, taxation, and transportation rushed to the Queen's Palace.
Queen Elizabeth had just issued the "Five Divisions Centralization Order" yesterday, but early this morning, the parliament suddenly issued a notice, declaring that the Queen's order was illegal and that all departments were not allowed to directly accept the Queen's instructions.
Frightened by the bloodshed, and unwilling to get involved in a power struggle, the high-ranking officials rushed to the Queen's palace to inform the Queen of the situation and ask who should be instructed in the affairs of the Principality.
Queen Elizabeth listened to the news from the maid, and her heart couldn't help but feel nervous, it seemed that she did not frighten these officials, and they immediately returned the color.
Seeing her distracted look, Jedi couldn't help but smile and said: "Why think so much about opening the bow and not looking back, since you have taken the first step, then you have to go resolutely Now if you take a step back, they will go further" Su Su stared at Jedi, her heart was filled with courage, she nodded, took a long breath, suddenly puffed up her chest, and strode out:
