If Minerva were male, what would become of Charlemagne?
The question, once studied when Richelieu proposed a political marriage, once again surfaces in Li Lin's thoughts, rolling with the bumps of the carriage.
First of all, the Crown Prince's position would become precarious. Compared to Louis, who has some talent but is a complete mess in big strategic directions, "he" performs closer to an ideal heir in various aspects. This would not only win the heart of Charles IV but also gain popularity among important ministers. Richelieu, who values the kingdom itself and the royal family while remaining indifferent to traditions, would not have a significant objection. With careful cultivation and experience, a new king capable of leading Charlemagne out of the storm of turbulence is likely to emerge. As for "his" brothers, they have no ability to resist, at most causing some trouble or resorting to assassination.
