American TV Series: Starting with Sheldon’s Wool Collection
Chapter 460: Force the Emperor to Abdicate
"Dad, I told you, I don't want to inherit any title. Why do you still have to call me back?" Nicholas, who had just returned to Genovia, asked his father.
"It's not up to you. Who do you think paid for your study abroad to achieve what you have today? Now is the time for you to give back..." Finance Minister Marbury stared at his son with hatred.
But from the bottom of his heart, Marbury is actually very satisfied with his son. The other party went to America to study in the United States since he was a child. Over the years, he not only got admitted to the Ivy League, but also got a doctorate in mechanics.
This kind of achievement is simply a dimensionality-reducing blow to the lagging Genovia.
You know, Princess Mia, who is now loved by the public, only received a high school diploma after returning from studying in America.
A comparison between the two is enough to illustrate the excellence of Nicholas. It is equivalent to a golden phoenix flying out of the chicken coop.
"Okay, I will use the knowledge I have learned to benefit Genovia. But, can we talk about the title later?" Nicholas, who studied abroad since he was a child, actually doesn't have much affection for Genovia, but seeing the old man Dad's expression showed that he still chose to compromise.
Nicholas, who had just graduated with a Ph.D., still had some scholarly energy.
After changing his thinking, he also realized that helping a small, backward country develop would give him a great sense of accomplishment.
Of course, if circumstances permit, he would still prefer to stay in a developed country and show his talents.
"What can we do without rights~" Although Marbury was very satisfied with his son's reaction, he still said: "It is very difficult to change a country, and knowledge alone is not enough. We also need to master rights, very, very big rights... …”
"Hmm, what do we need to do?" Nicholas said casually, looking at his father's slow enthusiasm.
"It's not us, it's you." Marbury said pointedly: "I want you to propose to Princess Mia and become the Duke of the Kingdom to completely control this country. Otherwise, we can only launch a coup and overthrow the Queen's rule. Only by being a king can we change this country.”
"Are you crazy?" Nicholas didn't expect his father to be so ambitious and said in surprise: "I have never even seen a princess. I don't want to marry an unknown woman..."
"Also, it is even more impossible to launch a coup. Although I have not lived in Genovia before, I also know that the people here have a very high support rate for Queen Reinadi."
"If one of us fails, we will all be doomed!!"
As if he was too surprised, Nicholas' tone unknowingly became three points higher.
"Of course I'm not crazy. If the situation hadn't forced me to do so, I wouldn't have wanted to launch a coup." Marbury said frankly: "So, the choice is still yours. As long as you can get the princess, things won't be that complicated..."
"And this is not an injustice to you. Although Princess Mia behaves eccentrically, it is undeniable that she is very beautiful and is barely qualified to be our daughter-in-law."
Nicholas, who knew that his father was going to "rebellion", was still in the mood to pay attention to whether the princess was beautiful or not. After calming down, he said: "With what I have learned and your status as the Minister of Finance, we are fully capable of guiding her slowly." When this country develops, why does it have to take extreme measures?”
As expected of a high-quality talent who had studied abroad, Nicholas immediately grasped the key points of the problem.
"I've said it, I don't want to either. But with the development of the times, women's character determines that they are not suitable to be leaders. Have you ever heard of any powerful country where women are the masters of the house." Marbury, a man Ism's speech: "So, even if you take Princess Mia in the end, I hope you can ignore her... Only we are the future of the kingdom."
Let's talk about Marbury. As the Minister of Finance, although his title is not high, he is definitely the richest man in Genovia.
After you have money, you naturally want rights.
Despite his high-sounding words, he tried hard to show that he was only for the country, but in fact everything was prepared to usurp power.
"Is this really true?" Who doesn't want to control a country and become the king? Nicholas, who calmed down, was a little tempted, but still said: "Why did I hear that Queen Elizabeth manages her country well?"
"Queen Elizabeth is just an example. How can our queen compare with her?" Marbury quickly skipped the question and continued: "That's it, I will organize a banquet to present you to the princess. Proposal creates opportunity, you have to seize it..."
"Is it too hasty?" Nicholas, who had just returned from his PhD degree, was a little bit reluctant to put the product on the shelves.
"If you still want to save this country, then marrying a princess is the softest way." Marbury said with a serious expression: "Otherwise, if it comes to a coup, the people and we will only lose more."
Yes, Marbury has made the most complete preparations to usurp power, even at the expense of bringing in external forces.
Once Nicholas' proposal to marry the princess fails, he will launch a military coup.
And what he relies on is the Voltu family in Washington State, a powerful pure-blood vampire family.
Of course, Marbury also knew that this strategy of "traitoring the country for glory" was not suitable for confessing to his son now.
After all, young people are somewhat passionate.
Talking too much will affect the final plan.
On the second day, the royal family and ministers of Genovia received a banquet invitation from Finance Minister Marbury to celebrate Nicholas' return from school.
"I heard that Marbury's son graduated from an Ivy League university. He's such an amazing young man..." At the main seat of the banquet hall, Queen Reinadi was very pleased with the emergence of an outstanding young generation in the country.
Then, she turned to her granddaughter and said, "Mia, you can get in touch with the young man named Nicholas in the future to see what he thinks."
One thing for another, although Finance Minister Marbury's reputation in Genovia is not good, Queen Reinadi did not look down on Nicholas because of this.
Instead, she was considering for the country, to see if her granddaughter could pull Nicholas, a talent, into her camp and contribute to the development of the country.
"Well, I know..." Princess Mia, who was wandering in the sky, was suddenly named and was a little unresponsive.
In a hurry, she probably didn't know what she said.
However, Queen Reinadi just smiled and shook her head at her granddaughter's rude behavior, and didn't mean to care too much.
After all, the queen is also an experienced person and knows that her granddaughter has reached the age of love.
The fact is just as Queen Reinadi guessed. As the October banquet of the kingdom approaches, Princess Mia is indeed considering how to get Mike to propose to her.
‘If it doesn’t work, take the initiative to confess to Mike…’
This is exactly what Princess Mia is thinking now. As for the son of the Minister of Finance, Nicholas, Princess Mia didn’t pay much attention to him.
If she hadn’t been forced to come by Queen Reinadi, she might not even attend this celebration banquet.
As for Marbury, as the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom, although his reputation is not very good, he is rich, so there are many nobles and ministers who are willing to get close to him.
This can also be seen from the seats at this banquet. Except for a few neutral parties, the number of nobles and ministers around Marbury is almost the same as the number of people on Queen Reinadi’s side.
In the banquet hall, there are also two groups of people, openly and secretly.
Finally, as the time of the banquet came, Marbury stood up and walked to the center of the venue. He bowed slightly to the queen and said, "Queen Reinadi and Princess Mia, please allow me to solemnly introduce my son, Nicholas, to you."
"He graduated with a doctorate from the Ivy League Department of Mechanical Engineering. Because he was concerned about the development of the kingdom, he took the initiative to return to this land where he was born and raised..."
In the opening speech like a eulogy, a tall young man dressed in Genovia clothes slowly walked in from the main entrance.
His tough appearance won him a lot of praise.
In particular, the ministers who wanted to please Marbury praised Nicholas even more.
Even though Nicholas was a little resistant to this scene before, he was a little flattered at this moment.
It was only when his father pulled him that Nicholas realized that he needed to say hello to the queen and the princess now.
"Respected Queen Reinadi and Princess Mia, Nicholas greets you~"
Nicholas came back to his senses and bowed slightly like his father, showing the etiquette that aristocrats should have.
At the same time, he did not forget to observe Princess Mia quietly.
Princess Mia wore a plain white dress today, and with her noble temperament, she looked so beautiful that she seemed to be glowing.
This scene made Nicholas slightly stunned, and he was not as resistant to his father's proposal as before.
"Welcome home Nicholas, the future of Genovia needs young people like you~" Queen Reinadi welcomed Nicholas' return.
"Queen Reinadi, taking advantage of this good day, I have a double happiness, and I want to get your permission." Marbury took the opportunity to stand up again.
"Oh, what else is good?" Queen Reinadi put away her smile and turned to look at Marbury to see what tricks the other party was going to play.
"It's like this, my son has returned to China after completing his studies and helping Genovia develop is a happy event. As for the other happy event, please allow me to keep it a secret and let him tell it himself." After Marbury finished speaking, he did not forget to signal his son with his eyes.
"Well, I have heard that Princess Mia is beautiful and lovely. Today, I found that she is more beautiful than the legend, so I want to propose to her. Please be my witness." Nicholas showed some sincerity, looked at Mia with "affection", and said, "Can I have this honor? Princess Mia."
"No, I already have someone I like." Princess Mia immediately refuted.
She had no feelings for Nicholas, but now she felt that he was "hateful".
Queen Renadi above also looked unhappy at this moment, staring at Marbury, waiting for him to give an explanation.
Half a year ago, Mike came to Genovia once, and Princess Mia went to greet him. Then the scandal of this "golden boy and jade girl" combination was almost known to everyone in the kingdom.
At that time, the royal family did not come forward to clarify the scandal, which was regarded as tacitly acknowledging the relationship between the two.
As the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom, Marbury naturally knew about this matter. Now he is urging his son to propose to the princess. If he is not confused, then he must have ulterior motives.
"My son is a top student at an Ivy League university and has a doctorate. There is no better young man in Genovia than him, so he is the most suitable person to marry the princess." Marbury said confidently: "And with the marriage, Nicholas can also help the princess and better develop our country."
In his righteous words, the general trend seemed to be on Marbury's side.
Those ministers and nobles who curry favor with the powerful also took the opportunity to praise Nicholas and the princess.
"I won't interfere with Mia's feelings, and of course I won't force her..." Queen Reinadi suppressed the noisy voice and said, "Who she will marry in the end depends on her own wishes."
After that, the queen looked at her granddaughter and handed the right to speak to her.
"I said, I already have someone I like. We will get engaged at the royal family dinner this year." Princess Mia expressed her attitude in public, without even looking at Nicholas.
Nicholas, on his side, didn't have so much affection for Princess Mia. After hearing the clear rejection, he wanted to retreat tactfully.
But before he could retreat, he was pulled to his side by his father.
"Your Majesty, as long as the princess and Nicholas are engaged, the Marbury family will assist her wholeheartedly..." Marbury seemed to have not heard the princess's statement at all, and continued to lobby Queen Reinadi.
At this moment, everyone saw that Marbury had ulterior motives, and the atmosphere of the banquet became solemn in vain.
Even Marbury's supporters didn't expect him to be so bold, and finally didn't dare to speak up casually.
"What do you want to say?" Queen Reinadi sat up straight, staring at Marbury and his son, with cold eyes.
Queen Reinadi, who has been the queen for more than 40 years and has supported the development of Genovia alone, is naturally not a fool. At this time, she tasted a different taste from Marbury's attitude.
"I want to say that Queen Reinadi is old, and the country will be handed over to Princess Mia sooner or later. When there is no one to help, are you sure she can manage the kingdom well?" Marbury showed his fox tail and said, "Of course, if there is support from the Marbury family, the situation will be different..."
"How dare you! Marbury, do you want to force the palace?" Just as Marbury was showing his own value and speaking out of treason, the royal butler Joe standing next to the queen interrupted him.
This time, Marbury's little thoughts were exposed.
The general trend is beyond people's control.
"Force the palace?" Marbury smiled and shook his head, "I don't like this word. If I really want to say it, I prefer to use cooperation. The princess marries my son, and we help the kingdom develop."
"What do you think, Queen Reinadi?"
Marbury, who had completely let go at this time, looked at the queen arrogantly, with a hint of threat in his eyes.
"Come on, arrest Marbury~" Queen Reinadi responded: "I want to see how much contribution the Marbury family has made to the kingdom over the years."
Among them, the meaning of liquidation is self-evident.
The connection between the Minister of Finance and the richest man in the kingdom means that the Marbury family cannot withstand investigation.
Many ministers who support Marbury are already considering how to draw a clear line with each other with flickering eyes.
After all, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
However, as the person involved, Marbury did not show any fear on his face. Instead, he asked more arrogantly: "Queen Reinadi, are you sure you want to do this?"
"You arbitrarily requisitioned people to mine, but the benefits were put into your own pocket. In addition, you secretly lured and protected the ministers of the kingdom and wantonly violated the laws of the kingdom..." Queen Reinadi said: "What else do you have to say about these crimes?"
It turned out that Queen Reinadi had already figured out Marbury's crimes. The reason why she did not punish him immediately was that she wanted to wait for a suitable opportunity.
It would not cause unrest in the kingdom by accusing one person.
Now that the powerful finance minister has jumped out himself, isn't this the best opportunity?
"The Marbury family has served the kingdom for hundreds of years. What's wrong with making some money and enjoying it? And you said that I lured and protected the ministers. If it weren't for us, could you govern the country well?" Marbury was still arguing, and he didn't show any guilt. He was obviously crazy.
His appearance also scared Nicholas on the side.
"Forget it, it's useless to tell you so much. I will prove with my actions that the Marbury family is the future of the kingdom~" After Marbury made a speech, he shouted to the outside of the door: "You can start, and I will fulfill my promise to you later."
This is going to launch a coup!
The guards called by the queen have not appeared for so long, which has made many "smart people" feel that something is wrong.
At this time, everyone looked at the door.
It was at this time that three mysterious people in black robes slowly walked in from the entrance of the banquet.
If you look closely, you can find that there are spots of blood on the black robes of these three people.
