Chapter 1223 The Imperial Party
The call came from Maggs, who told Durin to turn on the TV and watch Radio One.
Strange as he asked his secretary to tell the people in the conference room to dismiss, he walked to the break room in his office and turned on the TV.
In fact, the people of the empire prefer to enjoy, and in the offices of the top officials of most departments, there will be a separate rest room.
There was a comfy bed, a washroom, and some more personal items.
When they are tired from work, they can rest anytime and anywhere, and ensure that their physical and mental condition is always good, which can be regarded as a responsible attitude towards work.
Durin closed the door, turned on the TV, sat on the edge of his chair and watched the screen, and the word "live" appeared in the upper right corner of the screen, which meant that all the footage was delivered directly to the viewer from the scene.
Live streaming technology is not too advanced technology, because the areas that can be broadcast are very limited, and if you want to broadcast live, you must have the equipment used for live broadcast to be able to connect to the main line of the local cable TV company.
In other words, most of the live broadcast venues are no more than 200 meters around the cable TV signal line, and if it is too far, it is too late to arrange too long a line temporarily.
The building in the picture Durin is a little familiar, and for a while he can't remember what place it is, but the person in the picture Durin knows it.
A young man who looks to be in his thirties, he has a very decent appearance and a very good temperament, especially the shape of the two collar buttons on his neckline, which is the shape of the royal family crest.
This is a member of the royal family, he is the second son of His Royal Highness the Grand Prince - Hikari, a very famous playboy in aristocratic circles.
He may not be richer than Doolin, more powerful than some of the other big capitalists, or more powerful than some politicians, but his natural royal blood makes him very popular within the empire.
The middle-class yearning for aristocrats and royalty is crazy, which makes Hikari as popular as a superstar in this group, and it happens that the middle class is the main consumer of some mid-to-high-end brands, and among the many members of the royal family, he is a good mix.
At least for now, with a lot of advertising revenue and some extra income, he has a good life.
Dulin was still a little strange when such an "inconspicuous" guy appeared on TV, and after waiting for a few minutes, the royal chief suddenly appeared in the picture, and Dulin suddenly remembered that this should be a hotel on the Imperial Avenue.
More members of the royal family then appeared in the frame, and at this time, the host walked back from a distance, holding a press release in her hand.
Most formal political events will have an official press release, which is more like a core idea, no matter how media people write or write it next, they must recreate on the core idea expressed in this press release, and cannot exceed the line of the content of the press release.
It ensures that serious political events are not misinterpreted in a way that can lead to huge misunderstandings, sometimes not terrible, but sometimes they can implicate a lot of people.
The host looked at it for a while before picking up the microphone with a ghostly expression, opened his mouth and didn't make a sound, and it took about ten seconds before he faced the camera and began to introduce the situation behind him.
"His Majesty the Emperor fell into a coma this morning while visiting the garden, and then he has been awakened after resuscitation, and we have now learned from the doctor that His Majesty's current condition can no longer take care of more work, and after a noon discussion, His Majesty finally decided to abdicate and pass the throne to His Royal Highness the Third Prince......"
The change of power of the royal family and the emperor is indeed a big deal for the handover, the royal family only "retreated into the background" in the history of plausible and false, and Maggs did not completely abolish the royal family, which allowed the royal family to be preserved in the form of a mascot.
But even if the royal family is just a mascot, the influence of this mascot is very amazing, just the change of the throne has alarmed the entire empire, and even some foreign embassies in the empire are discussing what kind of specifications to use to celebrate the new emperor's accession to the throne.
What makes people a little strange is that His Majesty the Emperor did not pass the throne to the relatively low-key eldest prince, but to the third prince, if it wasn't for Maggs telling Du Lin some of the inside story, Du Lin probably wouldn't have guessed why this happened.
I thought it was just a change of era, a change of royal power, but when Du Lin was just about to turn on the TV, the hostess spoke again, and this time what she said really aroused Du Lin's interest.
"Just now, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince publicly announced that he would form a 'Baath Party' and actively participate in the construction of the imperial state......"
When the reporter finished saying this, a very contemporary word suddenly popped up in Durin's mind - "imperial party".
His Royal Highness the eldest prince holds the real power of the royal family in his hands, and now the emperor is dissatisfied with the choice of the eldest prince back then, whether he is angry or how he passed the throne to the third prince, which makes the eldest prince face a choice.
Either hand over the power belonging to the royal family in his hands to the three princes who are about to ascend the throne, complete his "mission", and then become a mascot without power, and be suspicious or even killed by his younger brother.
Either choose to stick to your choice, oust the three princes from power, and ascend the throne to become the emperor himself. But this also has great sequelae, and the illegitimacy of the throne will make him, the emperor, a "puppet emperor" in some people's mouths.
An illegitimate emperor means that the power in his hands is also illegal, which means that he cannot represent the royal family, which will embarrass him very much, and what is more troublesome is that this will make some people pinch out of thin air in some outcast royal orthodox bloodlines to question and hurt the authority of the imperial family.
It seems that the eldest prince has no choice but to solve this dilemma very quickly through another way, that is, to form the Imperial Party.
In such a situation, the eldest prince is active in the political arena as the first person of the "royalists" and the imperial party, so he does not need to hand over the power in his hands, on the contrary, some royalists and members of the royal family will take the initiative to move closer to him.
The ascension to the throne of the third prince in turn became a bit funny, and the old emperor's desire for revenge not only failed, but also made his son, the new emperor, a victim.
As long as there are no problems with the imperial party of the Great Prince, even if they are not able to play more roles in the political arena, at least the power of the imperial family will be in the hands of the Great Prince for a few decades to a generation or two.
There is even a more interesting possibility that the royal family will be excluded from the real imperial party and become the real mascots!
This hand is very beautiful, but at the same time, it will also bring huge changes to the political ecology of the entire empire.
The division of the empire between the new party and the old party has made each other feel that the resources and power at their disposal are very scarce, and if the imperial party is added, the next political situation will be even more complicated.
Du Lin was thinking about a question at this time, would such a change have anything to do with his plan to run for election?
He thought it was quite possible that Maggs was very good at creating such things to achieve his own ends, and that the new party, which had been undefeated for thirty years, lost to the old party, and prevented Boworth from coming to power.
It is not impossible that the Baath Party will win the first election of its "comeback".
