That was addressed, they could try, but realistically they'd be betrayed and abandoned by allies. Once they failed their family would be executed, as traitors are.
Powerful enough to be a threat, but not powerful enough to take on the royals, government, army and fellow nobles with few if any allies. She's just trying to keep her family alive and get the target off their backs. Other options could be available to reduce their power and influence, but she's just following the script she knows.
honestly the author doesn't understand old medieval age politic or she is just playing dumb
in most cases for such a family there is only one choice:
-having them marry the royal family (so they can back you up financially )
if the family does have only daughter it's easy as taking candy from a baby to just let someone from the royal family marry a daughter and take over as ruler for the estate
because honestly they aren't a threat unless they try to rise their military strength
Really ? But historically she makes sense, just like generals get broken or murdered in chinese novel when the official power feels threatened, if her family has to many asets, and influence, they'll be tripped, sooner or later.
she happens to know it will happen in her generation because of the game, so she aims at a lesser evil, or do uou believe having few predictions of the future necessarily opens the way to better solutions ? How could she possibly have that much influence in just one year ?
First, saying that his father is easily trust people is already doesn't make sense. I mean, how can someone like that able to raise that high?
Second, she have one year right? I able to teach my parents about scam in less than one hour. So, can't she teach her father not to trust people easily in one year?
Next, you said "generals" get broken or murdered in chinese novel right? As we already said, "generals" mean involved in military. Royal see threat if a fam have a big military influence.
And If I were the royal, I will not remove someone who have a big money and instead marry my children to that house so I will gain more.
seriously? you don't want ur family to be TOO powerful?? just overthrow the government, i stg not worth the read
