@saph This time it MIGHT be a revolution for Mia purity/nobility cause they fear the other nobles would influence her as she grow old. If a good apple is with rotten apples it would became rotten much faster same with eggs. There is also the possibility that other nobles would sabotage her reforms.
The last king of France Louis XVI once tried to reform France but blocked by nobility. His intention of reform backfire making situation worse alongside his support for the American revolution which ironically inspired the french in having a revolution of their own and it supporting the americans cause even worst debts and financial crisis.

Wikipedia entry for Louis XVI
The first part of his reign was marked by attempts to reform the French government in accordance with Enlightenment ideas. These included efforts to abolish serfdom, remove the taille (land tax) and the corvée (labour tax),[1] and increase tolerance toward non-Catholics as well as the abolition of the death penalty for deserters.[2][3] The French nobility reacted to the proposed reforms with hostility, and successfully opposed their implementation. Louis implemented deregulation of the grain market, advocated by his economic liberal minister Turgot, but it resulted in an increase in bread prices. In periods of bad harvests, it would lead to food scarcity which would prompt the masses to revolt. From 1776, Louis XVI actively supported the North American colonists, who were seeking their independence from Great Britain, which was realised in the 1783 Treaty of Paris. The ensuing debt and financial crisis contributed to the unpopularity of the Ancien Régime.
