Chapter 807: To commit corruption, all you need is evidence. To commit rebellion, all you need is a list of names.
The two men started a new game of chess, but this time the game was just a casual one, and what they were discussing was the real topic.
Prince Charles took the initiative and let his soldiers move forward two steps. "What are you going to do next?"
He used "you" instead of "you guys", and was asking what to do next, so naturally he was asking how Mo Cheng planned to settle Andel next.
Obviously, both the former Queen and Prince Charles are aware that at this moment, the country of Andair has only one master.
"Probably keep quiet for a while, then make internal reforms and complete centralization." Mo Cheng casually moved the chess piece and continued, "To be honest, I think the idea of enfeoffment is really stupid. What's even stupider is that you haven't considered how to make those nobles who oppose centralization die in accidents."
The feudal system is not a bad idea, but as the situation becomes more turbulent, the feudal system will sooner or later need to be transformed into a centralized system to combat various natural and man-made disasters.
What also surprised Mo Cheng was that Queen Caroline and Prince Charles did not implement any covert means to deal with the nobles who opposed centralized power.
You have to know that the relationship between the royal family and the nobles at that time was just short of a direct war. If strong enough, she would have had to learn from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and be dissolved in the water.
In fact, if Mo Cheng hadn't existed, Mishas would have died at the hands of the Inquisition when they sneaked into Fairhaven.
Not to mention that afterwards the nobles colluded with [Black Prison] and borrowed the power of the Black Prison demigod to successfully rebel.
Prince Charles touched his nose awkwardly. "In fact, there are various [accidental] arrangements. But I have been suppressing those plans because the situation was not right at that time. It's just..."
Prince Charles didn't say anything else, but Mo Cheng understood it very well. The other party just didn't expect that the nobles would be able to go all out and succeed.
"Speaking of which, I'd like to know what your next plan is after all the power is concentrated in your hands."
Perhaps to cover up his own embarrassment, or perhaps because he was really curious about Mo Cheng's actions, Prince Charles asked another question.
Mo Cheng thought for a moment and said, "First of all, it's not about concentrating all power in my hands. At this moment, the queen of Aundair is Mishas, and I have no interest in that throne."
After experiencing the mecha world, Mo Cheng has become indifferent to this kind of thing. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to guarantee that he would not be unable to control and kill all the troublemakers in his territory.
If he really sat on that throne, the first thing he would do would be to amend the law and put one crime above all others: thought crime.
Any thought that shows dissatisfaction or hatred towards Mo Cheng is a sin, and a serious sin.
By that time, Mo Cheng estimated that he would use [Nightmare] to sense other people's thoughts, and then kill people everywhere, leaving behind a handful of money after killing them, just like the leader of the Shadow Country did .
If he were to sit on the throne, it would be considered an achievement if he could last three months without slaughtering all his subjects.
"Then we will train the army and start taking back power from nobles across the country, starting from both ends, from the top down and from the bottom up."
Mo Cheng's plan stunned Prince Charles. It was not that the plan was perfect and had a high possibility of completion. On the contrary, it was a very big and empty statement.
But Mo Cheng also added, "I have a friend who was from the Inquisition, but later left that damn place. She helped me train a group of very good investigators."
Upon hearing this news, Prince Charles raised his eyebrows and said, "You are from the Inquisition. It seems that you are planning to have your spies secretly investigate some private issues of the nobles."
Prince Charles had no doubt about those trained spies. The five big words "Inquisition" were the best golden signboard.
After the Church of Light and the Inquisition had a complete falling out, expelled it from the church, and declassified the Inquisition's action plan, all countries in the world couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
There are countless high-ranking officials of the country, the ministers trusted by the king, the attendants around him, and even the people beside him who are trained by the Inquisition to stab with daggers when necessary.
After those secret files were declassified, more than a dozen senior officials of many countries suffered from insomnia and were afraid to close their eyes when sleeping.
At the same time, after that, all countries launched a round of bloody purges, killing almost everyone who had been wrongly killed.
If the Glorious Pope was not the spokesperson of glory and had great power, and had not expelled the Inquisition from the church, other countries would have even thought of becoming France, the filial son of God.
"But you still have to be careful." Prince Charles thought for a moment and reminded, "Some nobles are hiding some problems. Those problems may not be related to the rebellion, but they are hidden very well. Once they are discovered, your spies will suffer heavy losses."
What a spy needs is not powerful military force. On the contrary, sometimes the selected spies must be weak people with low power, so that it will be easier for them to blend in with the target in an inconspicuous identity.
Once the spy is discovered, it will be difficult for him to even have a quick death.
But Mo Cheng smiled when he heard what Prince Charlie said, "It doesn't involve rebellion, nor does it involve bloody sacrifices to evil gods, so the little secret is probably something like corruption. If it is found out, no matter how serious the crime is, it won't be punishable by death."
"But if we kill the spies, the investigators sent out by the palace, then it would be a complete rebellion."
“Corruption requires evidence.”
"To rebel, all you need is a list of names and a circle on the map."
"I don't even need a list, I can just clean up the mess for him!"
…
After finishing another game of chess, Mo Cheng did not stay any longer and left directly.
It is hard to say whether it was because of his head being shaved for the second time that made Mo Cheng feel that if he continued to stay, he would most likely follow the example of Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi.
After all, a physics chess master is also a chess master.
Anyway, there are people watching over Fairhaven now, so Mo Cheng can handle it well without him. At the same time, if he had a choice, he really didn't want to deal with those things.
After Mo Cheng ran away in such a rude manner, Prince Charles was quietly packing up his chess pieces when a voice suddenly came from the doorway, "What's going on?"
It was Queen Caroline who returned, and it was obvious that she knew that Prince Charles and Mo Cheng had talked about something.
"He has no interest in the throne and told me that Mishas is the queen of Aundair. At least when it comes to the throne, we don't need to dwell on these things too much."
Prince Charil shrugged, "After all, no matter who sits on the throne of Aundair now, the heir will always be the child of Mishas and Mo Cheng."
