Chapter 1224: Ancient Wisdom
The eldest prince used the way of forming the imperial party to skillfully avoid the old emperor's tricks, but instead stabilized the power in his hands, which was also unexpected by everyone.
Including Maggs, he didn't expect that the eldest prince would suddenly announce that he would form an imperial party to participate in the politics of the empire, and afterwards the eldest prince also called to explain the situation, and His Majesty the emperor suddenly wanted to pass on the throne and asked for a press conference of the royal family immediately, so that he had no time to discuss with everyone, and could only stabilize things as soon as possible.
Although this statement is understandable, there is still one thing that is unacceptable, except for those royalists.
In fact, there are very few such things as royalists today, and how loyal the royalists were to the royal family back then, and how bad their attitude towards the royal family was after Mags overthrew feudal rule.
It was not about personality or loyalty, it was purely about profit, and a large number of people who held the power and wealth of the royal family became Maggs's accomplices.
What would seem impossible to many has become a reality, because by doing so they have been able to usurp the power and wealth that the royal family has temporarily given to them and become their own, which has achieved the goal of benefiting others and benefiting themselves.
It was not a small estate, a small fortune, anything related to the royal family meant great prestige, wealth and profit, and this group of people had already made it.
Whether they were aristocrats or pioneers of capitalists, they had successfully stood on the brightest stage of the empire.
Moreover, the aristocracy, the more powerful the aristocracy, the more rich and historical the aristocracy, the less likely it is to be a real royalist or imperial party.
In the long process of development, these powerful nobles have long formed their own faction, and more nobles will surround them and form one noble interest group after another.
Just like the new party and the old party at this time, with Mags and Kubal as the core, it was the same in the past, the opponents of the royal family were the big nobles, and the small nobles were not even qualified to stand in this ring.
The reason why people think that the aristocracy and the royal family seem very close in daily life is purely because the interests of both sides have reached a high degree of convergence on certain issues.
For example, the need for social stability, the need for crime reduction, if these general directions are the same, then they will seem to give people a very harmonious feeling.
However, there are still fundamental differences between the two sides on the choice of essential interests.
The royalists who were now active in the empire were in fact "losers", and in the process of the rapid transformation of the feudal dynasty into the new era, there were some people who chose the right path, and then they became the lucky ones in the new era, and became representatives of vested interests.
But there are also those who choose the wrong path and sink in the long river of history at once, they do not admit that they are failures, in order to whitewash their failures, to cover up the stupid mistakes they have made, then there is no more suitable mask than "loyalty".
People don't forgive traitors, they laugh at stupid people, but they don't treat anyone who remains loyal badly, so this group of people became royalists.
They use the facts, that is, their own failures, to tell anyone that they have always been in the original camp in the process of historical changes, so they have not reaped any benefits and become losers, not because they have failed, but because they have lost because they are loyal.
Now the formation of the imperial party by the eldest prince is simply indescribable happiness for this group of losers, like ...... It's like ...... It's like seeing a father's smile with a straight face, and I feel comfortable from the bottom of my heart, and now my life is finally comfortable.
The appearance of the Imperialism immediately swept the public opinion and media throughout the empire, and even what happened on Durin's side made way for this news.
Strictly speaking, the empire recognizes the participation of any group in the management of the state through elections, but there are some things that people can listen to, but they cannot take seriously.
It's like Dühring's often saying that everyone is equal before the law and the Imperial Charter saying that anyone can impeach the prime minister.
Go and try to impeach?!
But the eldest prince set a precedent this time, which made some groups and organizations suddenly feel that the opportunity has come and the New Year is coming.
Before everyone could come to their senses, the day after the incident, the workers' union suddenly announced that it would form a labor party and participate in political activities.
If it is said that the great prince formed the imperial party in order to save the decline and had to do a radical move, then the group of workers and trade unions is taking advantage of the fire to rob.
After Dühring stabbed the workers' union in the back, Maggs directly tore over the roof of the workers' union, turning this organization, which was almost equivalent to the chairman of the workers' union, into a democratic republican organization.
All organisational leaders are elected by the workers' representatives themselves, which means that the power at the top of the trade unions is not always in the hands of a single person or group of people.
The changing hierarchy of power has made the struggle within the trade unions quite fierce, and they have also created several internal factions, fighting each other very much, focusing most of their energy on how to canvass for votes, how to gain more power and interests for themselves.
Naturally, it is impossible for the trade unions to unite and show their sharp minions as before, and in addition to the fact that some factions within the trade unions have good contacts with the capitalists, the cohesion of the workers' unions is now much worse than before.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was concerned about the name of the workers' union, it would have split into several other organizations long ago.
Now that these people suddenly find themselves fighting too much with themselves, how can it be interesting to form a party and fight with others on the political stage at the level of the empire?
After a night of discussion, this group of people formed a consensus on major decisions for the first time - Mazheva is just doing it!
The timing was so clever that at any other time, people would not have accepted the existence of the Labour Party, or even that the old and new parties would have been able to put their ideas to an end at a higher level.
However, the day before, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince had announced the establishment of the "Imperial Party", and they later announced that if the "Labor Party" could not be passed, it would mean that there was great discrimination and loopholes in the Empire's charter and laws.
So, some people from the bottom of their hearts define the behavior of the workers' union as taking advantage of the fire, of course, according to the original interpretation - when you see your neighbor's house is burning, and you think of stealing his scattered belongings instead of putting out the fire, then your behavior is shameful.
They also summarized a phrase to describe the phrase, which is called "Disasters should not be a gift from the devil."
