"East and west take turns to rule, and it is also the most distinctive political system in the New World," Su Ye affirmed this, "In the later 'Age of Disorder', great chaos and massacres did not occur in the principality, and that is the reason. "

Yuan Xiao can imagine that the historical background of this world is extremely special. The Principality adopts a relatively soft political system that takes into account Eastern and Western civilizations, which does have its benefits.

"Then is there any situation of continuous ruling?" Yuan Xiao asked.

Su Ye nodded: "Yes, but not many. The last time was the era of disorder. At that time, the emperor belonged to the Dongfang family. He served for three consecutive terms, that is, 36 years."

Yuan Xiao pinched his chin: "It seems that the strength of the Dongfang family should be higher than that of the Campbell family?"

Dominating a country for more than 30 years can indeed do a lot of things.

Unexpectedly, Su Ye shook his head: "The emperor at that time didn't have too much thought, and he had a good grasp of the balance between the two families.

After all, at that time, domestic problems were nothing compared to foreign troubles. "

It turns out that in the era of unity to the outside world, the interior is of course very united.

"On the contrary, the era of disorder ended, and after the mainland entered a period of peace, the internal conflicts that accompanied the struggle for imperial power became increasingly acute." This is also a common problem of all regimes, and Su Ye is helpless.

The development of human history is still inseparable from such a vortex, even if it is a new political system.

"That is to say, the struggle over the imperial power in the principality is very fierce," Yuan Xiao could imagine, "but strictly speaking, the blood relationship between the two families is actually mixed."

To put it bluntly, we are all relatives.

Su Ye nodded: "The direct line of the two families is related by blood, but the offshoots and branches do not include the separated families with other surnames, so the problem is complicated.

In addition, the political views of the two sides are also different.

Every change of imperial power is bloody.

In the beginning, the emperor's designation was all in advance, but later, the successor was frequently assassinated, and now it is rarely designated in advance. "

Yuan Xiao pondered, it seems that the imperial family of the principality is very introverted.

"This is also the reason why the political system is recognized by most people, but the principality is the weakest of the four major countries." Su Ye concluded.

Most of the resources are trapped in internal friction, and external expansion does not appear to be so urgent.

Yuan Xiao roughly understood the structure of the principality: "Then, what does this have to do with Xiaoman and me?"

Su Ye continued to explain.

In the past, the emperor's replacement and succession had bumps and bumps, but it still had results.

The problem lies with this emperor, that is, Dongfang Xiaoman's biological father - Sean Campbell.

Sean Campbell is the fourth emperor of the principality. Before he took the throne, he was said to be very talented.

But after succeeding to the throne, a series of performances were disappointing.

It's not a faint king, but it's far from a bright king.

Basically there is nothing to do, eating, drinking and having fun is its daily life.

That's all right, his Queen Donggong, who is Dongfang Xiaoman's mother, has only given birth to Dongfang Xiaoman's son so far.

On the other side of the West Palace, two princes were born.

But according to the change of regime, the next emperor should be born from the East Palace.

The problem is that Donggong gave birth to a daughter, namely Dongfang Xiaoman.

If the succession is forced like this, the empress will inevitably appear.

The New World is still a world where patriarchy prevails.

The so-called female emperor has never appeared in history.

This put the principality's imperial family in a dilemma.

Either support the empress, or if the regime is in power, continue to keep Nishinomiya in power.

Either way, the results are not satisfactory.

In addition, there is another solution, that is to choose another male from the Dongfang family in the East Palace as the next emperor.

But in this way, the existence of Dongfang Xiaoman has become an extremely embarrassing place.

"In recent years, it has basically revolved around this issue," Su Ye stared at Yuan Xiao, "There are countless people who want Xiaoman's life.

In addition to Xigong, there are also people in Donggong's own family who want Xiaoman's life. "

Yuan Xiao understood that the existence of Dongfang Xiaoman was a hindrance to the two palaces.

It must be removed and then quickly.

"Last year was Xiaoman's 20-year-old family experience, so she simply left the imperial family and came to Lirenwell to carry out," Su Ye said, "If the experience is in China, it must be a bunch of assassinations."

Empress, it's not so easy to achieve.

Chapter 422

Yuan Xiao understood that it must be very difficult for Dongfang Xiaoman to survive till now.

At the beginning, she should have no big goals as a princess.

However, as the date of Sean Campbell's administration approached, the lack of a male heir in the East Palace became the biggest problem.

On the side of the West Palace, they naturally hope to continue to maintain the rule of the West Palace.

But the Dongfang family in the East Palace hoped to elect a new emperor from among their own clan.

The existence of Dongfang Xiaoman is an obstacle for both parties.

"Fortunately, although Xiao Man's father, Sean Campbell, has done nothing, he is still very persistent in the political structure of the principality." Su Ye took out his mobile phone and opened a photo and handed it over, "It is also he who strongly demanded the establishment of the female emperor system. "

Yuan Xiao took a look. It was obvious that this person was of Western descent, but there was a shadow of Dongfang Xiaoman in his eyebrows.

"So, Xiaoman's ability to live up to now is inseparable from her father's blessing." Yuan Xiao asked.

Su Ye nodded: "I am the emperor's chosen guard for Xiaoman, and I only protect her alone.

At the beginning, it was said that Xiaoman was in poor health and had no ability, so he completely inherited his father's genes.

It's just that I don't know what happened later, and now, it's the Xiaoman you saw. "

Su Ye felt a little embarrassed about this.

When she was first appointed as Dongfang Xiaoman's guard, she was still very resistant.

But after getting in touch with it, I found that Dongfang Xiaoman was different from what I imagined.

Yuan Xiao smiled, he knew it well.

Dongfang Xiaoman is probably not so easy to kill.

At least the Xiaoman he knew was like this.

"However, Xiaoman has never promised to inherit the throne," Su Ye frowned, "The empress looks dignified and has many restrictions.

She told me that her heart is not in power. "

Yuan Xiao couldn't help agreeing, Xiaoman always looked at her with a smile on her face, but it was hard to figure out what was going on in her heart.

"If you hadn't had an accident this time, in order to save you, she would not have gone back and agreed to become the empress." Su Ye said, looking at Yuan Xiao with complicated eyes.

Yuan Xiao's heart warmed up, Luo Jia and the four major countries targeted him, if there was no Dongfang Xiaoman's rescue, he really didn't know what would happen.

"The representative of the Principality is from the West Palace." Yuan Xiao quickly figured out the cause and effect.

Su Ye nodded: "This involves another issue, which is your existence."

Yuan Xiao was stunned: "Do I also have an influence on the political situation?"

Su Ye sighed: "The trouble is, your identity is Xiaoman's husband."

In the past, the emperor who inherited the principality was male, so there were two queens, and even other concubines, and there was no problem with these.

The common law of the world allows the system of polygamy.

But when it came to Dongfang Xiaoman, the empress, things changed again.

Empress, you cannot have two husbands.

The common law in the world stipulates that women can only have one spouse, no matter whether you are married as a wife or a concubine, only one is allowed.

Hearing this Yuan Xiao sneered: "Isn't this discrimination against women?"

Su Ye glanced at him: "Do you want to share Xiaoman with other men?

There is this law because when we first arrived in the New World, the number of men was scarce.

Most of the males died in the Old World.

Most of those brought to the New World at that time were old and young women and children.

That's why there are such regulations. "

It is quite reasonable to say that, such a law was enacted in order to encourage childbearing.

Yuan Xiao is definitely unwilling to share Dongfang Xiaoman with others.

If there is someone, he will definitely kill him.

Su Ye continued to explain.

In this way, it is equivalent to saying that Dongfang Xiaoman's husband is Yuan Xiao.

Originally, when the empress succeeded to the throne, there were two sources for her husband's choice.

One is from the Nishinomiya Campbell family, which is also preparing for the next generation of Nishinomiya to inherit the regime.

There is another one that can come from the Dongfang family. In this way, the Dongfang family's control of power has been consolidated.

But now, there is an extra Yuan Xiao.

Yuan Xiao is not a member of any power, but he is Dongfang Xiaoman's legal husband.

This is equivalent to blocking the road between the east and west palaces.

In their eyes, Yuan Xiao must be cut into pieces.

"There is such a thing," Yuan Xiao felt innocent, "That's why you said, I don't know how I died."

Su Ye nodded: "So this action against you comes from this reason."

"I thought the Dongfang family could help me for Xiaoman's sake," Yuan Xiao sighed, "Sure enough, politics is dark."

"It's impossible for them to help you," Su Ye said frankly, "You are doing things so smoothly in the Principality, it's because Xiaoman used his own power."

Yuan Xiao suddenly realized.

No wonder the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education of the Principality give themselves the green light from time to time.

It turned out that it was all because of the existence of Dongfang Xiaoman, the imperial family.

It is good to have a soft meal with a background.

Yuan Xiao expressed his satisfaction.

"Then if I go to the Principality too..." Yuan Xiao asked tentatively.

"There are a lot of people who want to kill you and Xiaoman," Su Ye said helplessly, "Xiaoman and the others don't dare to assassinate them now, so it's hard for you to say.

In addition, there is a battle in the court, once you are caught, Xiaoman and Xiaoman are likely to abdicate.

The abdicated emperor, after the new emperor took office, might find a reason to kill him.

In addition, you and Xiaoman have a child, although they are adopted, they can be regarded as the descendants of the empress.

Even carrying them is dangerous. "

Yuan Xiao gritted his teeth: "So, my family went to the Principality, and it was close to death.

Can I not go? "

A joke, such a complicated matter, just listened to it and said it for a long time, if you really want to do it, you must have a headache.

It would be better to stay in Rirenwell and cut the leeks well.

Su Ye sneered: "If you go, you will have a narrow escape, but if you don't, you will die.

In the past, at any rate, there was Xiaoman, occupying the status of empress.

If you don't go, if the emperor does it, I guess you will be killed in a short time. "
