Chapter 1258 It’s getting cold, it’s time to put on more clothes
Both Lillia and the others in Andel knew very well that what they would face later was not something that Andel alone could handle.
Not to mention their own forces, the royal family of Aundair does not have the ability and qualifications to command dragons and Titans.
What a group needs is someone who can make the final decision, and only Mo Cheng has the ability and qualifications to make the final decision.
As for the others, the Dragonborn would not obey, let alone the dragons. It is simply impossible for them to obey the orders of the ignorant Aundair royal family.
"Besides..." Lilia added, "If you don't become the king, we won't be able to make any progress."
Mo Cheng rubbed his temple helplessly. He knew what Lilia meant. "You guys want to put some clothes on me, right?"
A group needs a clear channel for upward mobility, whether this channel is under existing rules or under rules that have not yet appeared, but it must exist.
Why did the Xuanwu Gate Incident happen in the early Tang Dynasty?
In addition to the targeting of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, there is also the push from the generals and advisers of Li Shimin's Tian Ce Palace, who need to go further.
It was obvious that their positions in the Tian Ce Mansion had reached their limit, with no room for advancement. Even if Li Jiancheng became the emperor, let alone room for advancement, the only room for them would be downward movement.
So they needed Li Shimin to ascend the throne and transform from a so-and-so in the Tiance Palace to a general of the Tang Dynasty.
With channels for advancement, these people who conquer the world can obtain rewards and status commensurate with their abilities.
Similarly, Andel is now unable to allow the various groups of people gathered by Mo Cheng to see the proper channels for advancement.
Aundair is too young.
The only way that everyone can accept is to carry out industrial restructuring, let the original group directors, the Andel royal family, abdicate, and form a new interest group with Mo Cheng as the main body.
Mo Cheng naturally understood this. At least he had done well in politics and history classes, and had not yet returned all the knowledge points to the teacher.
But obviously, understanding it doesn't mean Mo Cheng won't have a headache because of it.
He has always tried to avoid such things if possible, but now it seems there is no possibility of avoidance.
"Well, I guess you must have their interests at hand."
After thinking it over, Mo Cheng decided to first listen to what everyone's interests were.
Hearing this question, Lilia couldn't help but show joy on her face. Being able to listen to the interests showed that Mo Cheng had no intention of directly refusing.
"First, the Winterhold School of Magic, led by Principal Muzel, demands sufficient funds and materials, as well as more knowledge about otherworldly worlds. At the same time, Archmage Muzel also wants to go one step further. He wants to become a god."
"The dragons hope to obtain land where they can reproduce and thrive, as well as gods who can protect the dragon race."
"The nobles headed by the Aundair royal family have much simpler ideas. They are interested in land, property, and status. They really like the military merit system you introduced before, but they hope that this system can be more secure."
To be more secure, it means that the person sitting on the throne should be replaced by Mo Cheng, who proposed this matter. In this way, the nobles can pledge allegiance to the Dragon Emperor.
Compared to the previous situation where they couldn't even meet, being able to pledge allegiance in name would obviously give these nobles a great sense of security.
Then Lilia talked about the interests of various forces in the country. After she finished, she sighed as if she was tired, spread her hands and said helplessly, "You see, basically after listening to their interests, you will know that only you can sit in that position. Only in this way can their interests be guaranteed."
"I forgot one more thing."
Mo Cheng tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, "[Platform] and your interests and needs have not yet been discussed."
"Ahahahahahaha..." Lilia sneered twice, then said quickly, "I want to do stock market..."
"How about we talk about how to kill the goddess of money and then push you up to sit on the throne of money?"
"Don't keep saying that I'm going to be put on the street lamp and my project will be stopped. In ten years, the goddess of money will only be my subordinate god, at most she will be on an equal footing with me!"
"Don't even think about it. Your bloodline restricts you from becoming a god, let alone being a subordinate god."
Mo Cheng shook his head. He didn't know why Lilia had an indescribable craze .
Unlike the dragon who likes to pile up gold and jewelry in the room, Lilia wants to see her assets - both tangible and intangible - improve.
Just like players like to see improvements in experience points, levels, and skills, Lillia likes to see improvements in her assets.
"Humph, if you don't let me do it, then don't do it!"
Lilia's eyes turned, and she didn't know what she was thinking about in her mind about the operation of hanging the street lamp. Obviously, for this girl, as long as Mo Cheng didn't suddenly appear in front of her and tell her to stop the project of hanging the street lamp immediately, then she could do whatever was not prohibited by law.
"Oh, you have caused me so much trouble."
Mo Cheng let out a long sigh, for him, sitting on a throne was just a hassle, especially when he had all kinds of forces under his command, it would be an even bigger trouble.
But at the same time, he also knew very well that if he wanted to continue without causing any major chaos, he had to take that position.
No matter if he is really doing work or just being a mascot, he has to sit in that position.
"So have you made a list of people who are responsible for this? Let me make it clear to you first. I won't be in charge. Don't expect me to do this."
Mo Cheng's agreement did not surprise Lilia. In fact, this persuasion was just a formality. She knew what kind of person her guardian was.
Whether he should be responsible for this is still up for discussion, but if you tell him that only he can do it, he will definitely agree to it without hesitation.
"I know you won't be in charge, so I've already discussed it a long time ago. We just need to hold a ceremony after a while."
As she spoke, Lilia asked with a smile, "By the way, do you plan to wear a dragon robe or other clothing for the abdication ceremony?"
This little girl is quite familiar with Mo Cheng's culture. Perhaps it is for this reason that she is the one who discusses this issue with Mo Cheng.
Lilia stretched out her fingers and counted, "Give him the Nine Gifts, grant him the imperial seal and axe, wear a sword and shoes when entering the palace, do not need to bow when entering the court, do not need to name when praising or bowing, open the government and be the same as the three officials, command the military forces at home and abroad, be the chief of the hundred ministers, give him a fief of twenty counties, raise the emperor's flag, and be named the King of Qin..."
"We don't need to stage a mutiny. We don't need to wear the yellow robe anymore."
"Are you going to do Fengshan?"
"What about three refusal and three concessions?"
