Chapter 194: The Storm (14)

"Then, Your Majesty Audrey. Since it is a proxy government, why can't we participate? We, as counts, have an unshirkable duty to Rune. And things haven't been going so well for Rune lately. ”

Boris smiled faintly, although Coren lacked a little light in his brain, he spoke clearly. That's not bad.

Coren not only included himself, but also all the dukes, pulling the maximum strength.

Duke Gabriel said first.

"I think Count Cologne is right!"

Then one after another, the dukes came forward.

Those present almost dumped a large piece.

Evans could see that the situation was not good, but he was not a nobleman, and there was no place for him to speak here.

Wayne gradually realized that this was a trap. The food has not been solved, and the anxiety of the war on the Eastern Front proves the mistakes of Audrey's administration. Plus Audrey is the acting politician. It became a matter of course for the Earl, the Duke to participate.

Wayne saw that it was all over the place, so he simply didn't do anything.

"Since the duke, the earl have all been added. Why didn't the marquis, viscounts, and barons add them? They were also part of Rune, and they were also fought against His Majesty Creon I. ”

Boris's smile froze, power is not something to share. It was not easy to get the duke involved, and now those marquises, viscounts, and barons are also involved, which is equivalent to diluting their power in disguise.

Boris hurriedly said.

"Count Nils, do you know how many people will participate in the resolution in this way, thousands! ”

Wayne said.

"A thousand people naturally have a way for a thousand people, but if you can't do it, you can vote! Everything is decided by the number of votes. ”

Boris quickly understood the proposal, and in fact Wayne's approach was not unusual. Isn't this an enlarged version of Ortunno's Cabinet and the Presbyterian Church of Stuart?

"Count Niels, you have to think clearly, if you go wrong, you are a sinner of Rune. ”

"Count Boris, now is an extraordinary time, and we must use extraordinary means!"

Boris very much did not want to share power with more people, but if the count, the duke could participate in the decision. So why can't those viscounts, barons, marquises?

There is an unspoken rule in the upper class of Rune, that is, marquises, viscounts, and barons are classified as lower nobles, and dukes and marquis are classified as upper nobles. Judging from the size of the territory or the political discourse, there is no problem with such a division. But no one will say it, and that will cause public outrage. This is a fundamental repudiation of Creon I.

Boris thought about it again, and vassal his own viscounts, and there were no fewer barons. At that time, it must be that you have more votes, so what is not your own decision?

Coren thought of this, too.

"It's not a long way to go. ”

But there is another acute question, Audrey is not an ordinary nobleman!

It's not the top level of Rune's intelligence, but it's above average. It takes a little effort to think of this.

Wayne decided to take the initiative.

"But Her Majesty Audrey can't do that, she will be the birth mother of the next Emperor of Rune. It cannot be simply grouped into one category, and in this way, Her Majesty Audrey has a veto. ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a great power. Able to reject any offer.

The face of the nobleman who was still entangled just now is even more ugly at this moment, his power has been diluted, and now he is still put on a layer of shackles.

But Audrey is a hurdle that can't be overcome.

The situation was far beyond Audrey's control, and she was now dizzy and couldn't figure out what was going on. All that's left to do now is say nothing and see what Wayne does.

Boris's eyes flashed with clarity.

"I think Count Nils is very right, not only to ensure the correctness of the decision, but also to take into account the power of His Majesty Audrey. I think it can be done right away. ”

Coren hasn't come to his senses yet, but Boris must have a point.

also agreed, and the rest of the dukes were not easy to object.

Wayne continued.

"With so many nobles discussing the affairs of the empire together, it is obviously not appropriate for such an event to be used for meetings. I propose that it would be more appropriate to call it Parliament. ”

The substantive framework has been decided, and it obviously doesn't matter what the name is for these people.

Wayne continued.

"We had previously proposed to publish a newspaper in the imperial capital, and now I think it would be okay to put the establishment of parliament on the front page by the way. Moreover, I have broken the treaty with the Papal States, and I can set up a corresponding workshop in the imperial capital. ”

Boris and Koren are clearly not against it either.

Langton suggested.

"In that case, I think it's time to give the council a try. The first is to agree with the Falcon Legion to support the Eastern Front. ”

The crowd nodded.

"There don't seem to be any tickets, though. ”

"We each took a piece of paper and wrote our agreement and disagreement. Isn't it enough to count the number of agrees and dissents at the end?"

"That way you know who voted against and who voted yes. I feel like anonymous voting. ”

.....

Soon the details of the vote were discussed.

An abstention was also attached.

In the end, the ten dukes present and the three counts all cast their own votes.

Audrey looked at the results and was a little interesting.

"Two abstentions, eight against, four in favour. ”

Suddenly, the faces of the audience were different.

It was agreed that two of the votes must have been cast by Jonathan and the Duke of Langton. After all, their territory at that time must have hoped that there would be as many reinforcements there as possible.

Boris and Cologne looked at each other, as if they had seen through each other's plans.

These two votes were theirs, and they both wanted to win over the two dukes. Wayne beat Hatcher, he didn't have to please the two dukes, and it seemed that he couldn't please him. He seems to have a lot of grudges with both of them.

And he has the right of veto, and although Boris may well have come up with a countermeasure, it cannot be denied that it is a big killer. And it is estimated that there are many viscounts and barons under his hands. First of all, there are about 20 in the northwest, plus about 100 in the family territory. Although it does not play a decisive role, it has been a force to be reckoned with for a long time.

Audrey into a hot iron.

"In this case, the food problem in the imperial capital will also be solved. See if you agree to let those merchants sell grain at a low price. ”

After a vote, there was not a single vote against. Boris didn't even bother to pretend to be a businessman.

Wayne hoped that the merchants would realize that these nobles were unreliable through this incident, and then develop their own power.

What's more, he didn't expect the parliament to be established in this way. It was as if God had played a big joke on him.
