Chapter 144: The Wrong Direction
"Sacrifice".
It is a dedication made for something worthwhile or for the future. It's noble, it's worthy of admiration -- but only if it's genuinely valuable in the eyes of people.
Otherwise, in the eyes of onlookers, no matter how beautiful what the victim does, it will be a foolish thing.
"I've never seen such an idiot king!" Not long after Nona left, the Count of Fenmere welcomed a new guest in his garden. "Old Michehaki, I heard that is gone?"
"Yes, quit." Michehaki was holding a small plastic broom from China, unhurriedly dusting off the snow from the branches of the flowers and plants he had planted, without the hysterical and hoarse embarrassment he had just hauled. "No one knows that His Majesty Doniva's royal illness is not so serious, and he doesn't know that he is really that stupid, does he?"
It is completely impossible for this group of aristocrats, who have renounced their real power and official position, to say nothing about the privileges of the nobility in the new constitution (in essence, to deny it), and to have no opinion on the expression of "equality for all" in the new constitution.
To put it more bluntly, they just want aristocratic privileges. In particular, Count Finnmere and others, who considered themselves to have made an indelible contribution to Doniva's ascension to the emperor's throne, naturally felt that "I don't care if other nobles want to weaken their privileges, but at least we must keep all the meritorious ones, and according to the common practice of Elta's empire, our privileges must not only be maintained, but also strengthened."
There is nothing surprising in this way - the investment of the aristocracy itself in Doniva has a bit of a lottery idea, that is, they are optimistic about this one, not the one in the imperial capital Garcia, who has become the ninety-five.
Since the lottery tickets are all bought and the numbers are right, why not cash them out? Applying the thinking of lottery ticket buyers, it is easy to understand why the resentment and incomprehension of these nobles cannot be dissipated for a long time.
You can't say to these players that the issuer at the time of purchase is different from the issuer now, right? If this is really on the opposite side of the portal, if the issuing agency is not crushed to death by public opinion and trampled to death by the masses, then it is really a hell.
But this is an irrefutable fact in the current Elta Empire. The aristocracy could not survive in the new Elta Empire, which would transition to a parliamentary system in the future, but it could become the cornerstone of a solid state existence in the old Elta Empire, which was imperial, poisoned...... Such a difference in mud and mud, no matter who you change, you can't accept it well, let alone adapt to it.
"Silly, really stupid." The little broom in Fenmeer's hand trembled slightly, "Not to mention the flat-headed people and mud legs, they are the noble royal family, who doesn't want to wear that crown and take this entire continent as a bag?" But I didn't expect Doniva to be playing with people from another world now to make some 'constitution' and cocoon himself! Marquis Ronaco, do you think so? ”
"I've read the Constitution." Marquis Ronaco's calm tone was secretly rippling, "The future emperor will be like a clay idol, worthless except for the mud-legged people to 'worship' and 'admire'!" What kind of system? His Majesty Doniva doesn't know, where will the mud-legged people who have obtained real power manage an emperor? I'm afraid I won't even take care of his daily life, right? When the time comes, if he is allowed to go to the 'people' and 'everyone is equal', I wonder if he will cry? ”
Doniva certainly did not fear that she would be evicted from the palace by the "people" and end up in a homeless situation - because the "Elta Imperial Property Administration" had been established, and its estates included the castle district of Garcia's inner city, the ruins of the palaces of the Elta Empire, and the fiefs of the royal family...... Of course, Doniva and his sister, as well as all the royal direct family, could not have filled all these places, so relying on the future rents and tourist attraction tickets of these estates would be enough to give peace of mind to the royal family who had no real power.
"The guardian of the borders of Cielta, the master of the city of Piexiano, the Marquis of Carolas Chabenruno has come to visit!" When the Marquis of Ronaco and the Count of Finfmere sneered at the Emperor together, the servant's report and the Marquis of Carolas's rebuke arrived in the middle of the garden, "You two have been thinking from the wrong starting point and direction, but you just don't listen!" ”
"Garoras, we think you have a point." Fenmir and Joronaco bowed together and saluted the Marquis of Carolas, "Your Majesty Doniva can't be so stupid, the current Emperor is either really stupid or has become a puppet puppet of the people of another world. ”
"Hmph, thanks to you, you still have a bite of His Majesty Doniva Emperor Elta before." Garolas straightened his hat and looked at the two nobles in front of him who had long been fiefdomed, "Now that all the administrative organs of Elta, from villages and towns to provinces and cities, have been occupied by the people of the other world and the mud legs they have cultivated, where is there still a place for His Majesty Doniva?" The hand done by the people of the other world is to press layer by layer, so that His Majesty Doniva has no second choice, and finally obediently become their puppet. ”
That's actually quite true. Because it has always been Chinese who have always transmitted modern books, biographies, historical materials, and novels to Doniva Siravia through Prance and through translation; The content and genre of these books vary, but the content and message are the same:
The feudal monarch is turning back the clock of history and has no future. It can be said that the family tragedy of Doniva's biological parents is the internal cause, and the information and signals transmitted by the Chinese are the external cause, and the two are indispensable - and in the central government's timetable for the transformation of Elta, it is also clearly pointed out that the Elta Empire cannot and is not allowed to have a second way out except for the Yangguan road to the representative body to run the country.
"The priority is not to make His Majesty Doniva change his mind." Garolas dragged the two fools into the house and whispered, "The current Elta is not 'the emperor said it doesn't count in a few years', but 'the emperor says it doesn't count now', haven't you noticed?" ”
"Nope." The two replied in a whisper.
Seeing that the face of the Marquis of Carolas was getting more and more stinky, Joronaco further added: "Isn't Your Majesty Doniva still deciding on national affairs?" Doesn't anything still have to be signed by him before it can be issued and executed? Didn't he just come out a few days ago to oppose the 'expansion of the war against the Bilunar Church and the idea of aggressiveness'? ”
"I'll just say so." Garolas stopped, looked into the other party's eyes and asked, "Have you ever bought the 'radio' sold in the 'Friendship Mall' in the city?" Or have you ever bought the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" sold in 'Xinhua Bookstore'? ”
"Nope." The two replied in unison. The Xinhua Bookstore and Friendship Mall in Duncheng have been open for some time, but most of the items they send their servants to buy are just some items such as eating, drinking, and enjoyment, as long as it involves spiritual food and the like, they are basically not interested.
And so he still wants to oppose the policies of the people of the other world--Galloras sighed as he looked up to the sky. The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which made him unable to release the volume, also made it very clear, "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles". This book is one of the best ways to understand people from other worlds, but now these two idiots haven't even read the whole book; Take 10,000 steps back, they don't even get a radio, how can they understand people from another world?
"Then the Elta Pioneer and the Elta Army must be read daily, right?"
Caroras soon saw the two of them let out a .jpg Dumbledore shaking his head in unison.
"I've told you a long time ago, go, to subscribe to a newspaper!" Garoras couldn't hold back the anger in his chest, and it all squirted into their faces. "Damn, you don't have to pick up the newspaper yourself! The newspaper delivery person will also put an iron box on the iron gate of your garden for free, and you just need to go to the door every day to pick it up! Don't you know that it's full of new decisions, new policies, and national events of people from other worlds in the Elta Empire? ”
The two of them were at a loss, still thinking to themselves: Isn't our work object mainly aimed at the Emperor of the Elta Empire? What is the use of understanding the policies of people from other worlds, dynamics? To change the status quo of Elta, isn't it a change of heart from His Majesty Doniva?
"I know what you're thinking." Garolas let go of his hand and sighed, "You just haven't understood who the enemy is standing in the way of our goal of revitalizing the nobility and emphasizing the rights of the nobility. You can't be blamed for this, it's not that you don't understand, it's that the world is changing too fast. ”
"You want to say that the reason for all this is because of people from another world?" Fenmere looked embarrassed, "I suffered a lot at their hands, but in retrospect, His Majesty Doniva asked me to take a stake in the textile factory, but I didn't, and it was my own foolishness. In addition, no matter how much they say about their measures to revitalize the country, they can't be said to be full of malice towards Elta, right? ”
Fenmere already regretted losing his temper with Nona - calm down and take care of the flowers, he could understand that what Nona said was five points true, but he still hadn't read the meaning of Nona's words - only at this moment, it would be said by Carolas himself in front of him.
"The trouble is that they want the Elta Empire to 'become an advanced country', which is not malicious." Garoras smiled, "You two still haven't understood, have you?" Privileged people, whether they are royalty or nobles, are a great obstacle for an 'advanced Elta', and people from other worlds cannot tolerate either of the two, so for Emperor Elta, they have to use a larger shackle, that is, the "Constitution of the Elta Empire" to lock his space for activities, and for us nobles, they can do it with only one of them......"
