Leopold thought for a moment and asked, "If the other party knew that you were back, they wouldn't give up, right?"

Renard shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and asked rhetorically: "Don't say it's that arrogant and unreasonable guy, it's you, will you sit idly by?"

Speaking of this, he looked out the window: "Not to mention that guy, even this Duke in front of him is not as easy to deal with as he imagined, his father is an Imperial Earl, and he is also a member of the House of Lords." ”

"That's harder. Leopold's brow furrowed.

Although Constantinople was a centralized state, it did not mean that the emperor could do whatever he wanted, because all his decisions had to be reviewed by the Senate before they could be carried out by the local government or the military.

That is to say, this Senate is the existence of the imperial power and the real nerve center of the entire empire.

In addition, the Senate also has legislative power and the power to appoint and dismiss.

It is not difficult to understand the legislative power, just talking about the power of appointment and dismissal, any feudal officials and military and political dignitaries who want to move their positions must first be approved by the Senate, otherwise even if the emperor Lao Tzu opens Chrysostom to appoint and dismiss someone, it will have no effect.

It is not difficult to see how powerful this Senate is, which controls almost the power of the entire imperial center.

The Senate is divided into the House of Lords and the House of Representatives, the House of Lords is jokingly called the House of Nobles, and the House of Representatives is jokingly called the House of Commoners.

The House of Lords has 99 seats, which guarantees fairness, impartiality and openness in decision-making, and at the same time ensures that there will be no balance and opposition in decision-making.

Only the nobles can serve as members of the House of Lords, and they can be re-elected for a term of four years, and every four years the nobles will compete for the position of this councilor, and even beat their heads to the ground.

The House of Representatives, on the other hand, has 999 seats, which also guarantees fairness, justice, and openness, and ensures that there will be no balance and confrontation in decision-making.

The members of the House of Representatives are all civilians, and they can be re-elected for the same four years, but unlike the nobles, no one wants to be a member of the House of Representatives.

Because everyone knows that the House of Representatives is nothing more than an archway, a torii that shows the benevolence and justice of the decision-makers, and has no real power at all.

The fundamental purpose of the existence of the House of Representatives is to applaud the decisions of the House of Lords, and then to inform them widely, regardless of whether or not they undermine the rights of civilians.

In this way, the upper head is angry, and the lower part is going to be poked in the backbone, and a few people are willing to go.

The most important thing is that this position is for public welfare, and there is no salary to be paid.

Of course, if you are willing to grovel to some members of the House of Lords and be their lackeys, then they will still be willing to reward you with food, but there are still a few people who can drill the camp after all.

Reynard was still looking out the window, looking in the direction of the Sheriff's Office, and after a while, he said, "If I'm right, Douc has probably been released by now." ”

In fact, he expected it a little late, and after Duke was arrested, he immediately identified himself and asked someone from the Public Security Bureau to verify it.

In just forty minutes, the Earl of Matthew took his son back, and from this you can see the weight of the status of a member of the House of Lords.

After all, robbery is a felony, and the lightest sentence is to be sentenced to labor camp in the mine, and the other party just made a light sentence to get his son out: "Do you think my son will go to robbery?"

Well, in the face of a count's questioning, the people of the Sheriff's Bureau could only say, "Definitely not." ”

Count Matthew left with his son, as for his fox friends and dog friends, they didn't pay attention, people with energy and background can naturally come out, and those who don't have energy and background deserve to die.

The Earl did not shout, "My son has been framed, and you have to arrest him, because it is too bad."

And the people in the Public Security Bureau are definitely not willing to wade into this troubled water, and it will be themselves who will lose face at that time.

Officials who dare to reverse black and white and chase after the big people to pat on the back are either rising or falling into hell, and people sometimes have a good job.

However, Count Matthew doesn't care, and it doesn't mean that Duke will be magnanimous to forgive Renard: "If you want to kill him, I'm going to skin him." ”

Twice in the hands of the other party, the noble young master's heart was almost blown up.

Count Matthew, who was still resting in the carriage, opened his eyes suddenly, and gave the other party two slaps in the face, which made him dizzy.

Then the Earl closed his eyes again, as if nothing had happened.

Duke was so still that he almost stopped breathing.

After a long time, Count Matthew closed his eyes and said, "Don't always talk about revenge, a dog that bites people will not bark." ”

He indecently compares himself to a dog, and he is not ashamed at all, because he is essentially a dog that some people use to bite people.

Sometimes, it's better to be a dog than a human.

Duke swallowed hard, covered his face and asked, "Father, what should I do?"

Count Matthew slowly opened his eyes, and after a deep groan, he said: "I have investigated the other party after you were beaten, and he seems to have his back against the third prince and Princess Alice, and the second prince has also been in contact with him. ”

The Count paused for a moment, but Duke did not interrupt his father, but waited quietly.

After a long time, Count Matthew continued: "Now it is unlikely that you can deal with him alone, and you must cooperate with people. ”

"Cooperation?" Duke looked down for a moment, then said a name: "Hank Moore?"

Count Matthew finally had a smile on his face, it seemed that his son was not as unbearable as he imagined.

Duke took a deep breath and said, "I had a holiday with him, you should know." ”

Count Matthew spread his hands and asked, "What does that matter?"

He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Son, remember a sentence, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, and is the holiday between you and him serious?"

Is it serious? Of course not!

It's just a marriage that has been ruined, as a descendant of the Moore family, the fourth son of the current Chancellor of the Exchequer, will Hank Moore lack a woman?

Count Matthew leaned back in his chair and said, "Count Adrian and I belong to the same camp as the crown prince, and in essence, you and Hank have a great hope of becoming friends. ”

"The crown prince, the crown prince. Count Matthew chewed these three words, and then shook his head and smiled: "Our Supreme Emperor His Majesty has never concealed his ambitions, and he actually wants to become a top figure like the Eastern Emperor. ”

"It's a pity that he doesn't know how to keep his head up, if I were the emperor of the empire, before I achieved my goal, I would definitely be a man with my tail between my legs, and our Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Aldington did a very good job. ”

Count Matthew smiled lightly, and everything was silent.
