What is Grand Aristocrat?

There are many ways to interpret the term "great noble", and the most correct ones are nothing more than two. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info one is that the title is high enough, and the other is that the life of the family is very long. The former is very easy to understand, the more the male uncle and the prince, the higher the power, the higher the status, and the more terrifying the power. The latter is a little different, and even some counts can call it a great noble! Why is this so? Because the life span of the family is long enough, and the hereditary succession is not replaced, and as long as the bloodline is constantly extinguished, the family will always exist.

Compared with those high titles of reduced succession, this kind of hereditary title is the real nobleman with background and strength. There is no hereditary replacement, so no matter how high the title, there will always be a day when it will be lost, completely knocked out of the dust, become a commoner, only with the hereditary replacement of the title, can we continue to open up a new era.

Twright is obviously such a big nobleman, and the hereditary earl title may not be as good as the many marquis and a small number of dukes in the imperial capital in terms of pure rank, but no one will underestimate him. No matter how long it takes, as long as he doesn't rebel, the earl will still be an earl thousands of years later!

Compared with the manor of the golden aristocracy, Twright's plus is obviously a little "small" and not so "glorious", and it is not even as good as the manors of some wealthy merchants in the surrounding area. But no one really dares to underestimate Twright, and they won't talk about his house.

It was getting dark, there was no ballroom at the banquet hall, and Wren sat down with Celeste and the Twlett family at a very ordinary long table. The long table is not really long, only two meters long, and it is not a fine wood, and the tablecloth is very unusual. This is an ordinary family feast, like those common people's family feasts, there is nothing special. But a family banquet is a family banquet, which itself represents a different meaning from a banquet.

"After a few months, I didn't expect you to do better than I thought you would do in Ortlenburg. At the dinner table, Twright elegantly held a knife and fork and looked at Wren, "When I left, I was really afraid that you would be useless, and then your face would be ugly, and my face would be ugly." "You can't imagine how ugly Vito's face is after knowing what happened to you in Ortrenburg, and he has been a stinky face for many days, and I can't help but want to laugh when I think about it." ”

Twright put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin to cover his mouth, laughed a few times, leaned forward apologetically, and apologized to the other two ladies at the table, "I'm very sorry, please forgive me for my rude behavior, but this is too coke." ”

Twright has a straight face when he is serious, giving people the feeling that no one should enter, and this person is extremely troublesome. But he let go of this attitude and returned to normal life, and he was a very funny person. Every full-fledged politician will have several faces, switching back and forth between them, and even themselves, in the end, will forget which one is real and which one is fake.

The two ladies didn't care about this, Twright moved the stool, approached Wren, lowered his head and bit his ear quietly, "I don't know if you've heard of it, the old emperor fell ill too quickly, and many things didn't have time to explain, and she may have to enter the secret cave after Pars's coronation this time, this is an opportunity." ”

The Secret Cave is a very special resource in the hands of the Golden Aristocrats, in the Secret Cave, people with divine bloodlines can be endowed with certain special abilities by the Heroic Spirit of the Ancestor. In addition, you can also learn a lot of top-secret knowledge by reading some books hidden in the secret cave. Before each patriarch inherits this position, he must enter the secret cave and undergo some baptism. Wren's father was too sharp to explain these things.

After he died, Wren wanted to go in again, but it was even more difficult. After all, without the care and support of the elders, the golden nobles are quietly fighting with each other, even if Wren's request is reasonable, everyone can drag it out for three or five years. In the end, he will definitely be able to get in, but it will definitely not be that simple, and he will have to pay a series of costs and promises.

Hearing the news, Wren raised his eyebrows, "I haven't heard of this news. ”

"So you'd better go and see the old emperor tomorrow, and if he nods, Vito won't object. ”

Wren nodded, and said, "I heard that the old emperor's condition is very serious, can he still speak now?"

Twright sat up straight, picked up a knife and fork and skillfully cut off a piece of lamb chops, wrapped it in his mouth, chewed it lightly twice, and suddenly the delicious mutton turned into gravy and slid into his stomach. He tilted his head, "It's hard to speak, but nodding or shaking your head or something like that can be done." They made a number of cards, each with a few simple words written on them, and the old emperor was able to replace his mouth with a small stick tied to his finger. Of course, conversations that are too complicated are still difficult to say and require help. ”

If you can't recover quickly after a cerebral infarction, it will basically become a big trouble and accompany you for the rest of your life. The old emperor was too old, maybe he would die one day, and he didn't think about recovery or anything, and he could earn a day if he could live in bed for one more day. He also knew very well in his heart that the rest of his life was over, but fortunately, he could still live for a few days, and he was not so sad.

"It's just a farce, how could it lead to such serious consequences?", Wren was still very curious, and couldn't help but ask one.

Twright smiled mysteriously and shook his head, "There are some other circumstances in there, I can't say, I say it now, maybe I'll be killed in two days." In short, the things in this are more complicated than you think, and they are also dangerous, and they have shaken the country's foundation. But...... Forget it, when I didn't say it. Twright shook the knife, "Remember, I didn't say a word!"

Twright was so solemn that Wren didn't want to ask much, he grabbed a roast lamb rib wrapped in tin foil and tore it, just enough to make the mutton turn into a trace when it was torn, but it didn't feel too dry. The strong smell of mutton fat stimulates the taste buds in the mouth, and the pepper and snow salt with a touch of basil leaves make for an amazing taste. Celeste and Twright's wife chatted very speculatively, and the little girl was unconsciously flattered by Twright's wife, and suddenly had a good impression of this woman and lost the initiative.

After all, she is a little girl who has never seen the world, and there are no secrets that cannot be said, otherwise Wren would not have brought her here.

"I've heard that some of the monopolies in Ortlenburg are interesting, and the whole Imperial Capital is discussing them all this time, and I plan to do the same in my territory. Twright turned the subject back to an issue that could be discussed in the open, "but I'm certainly not as bold as you, and I still have a governor on my head. ”

Wren relaxed in this environment, and he shrugged his shoulders, "Do you think I'm really willing to go against almost half of the nobles of Bell Province under such pressure? Look at Ortrenburg, what's there? There's not even the slightest thing to use except all sorts of scum and insensitive, that's all I can do, I'm not going to really stay in that place for five years. Wren crackled and complained, "If I don't have to go back, I'd rather be an ordinary person in the imperial capital." ”

"This is your mission, Wren. Heaven has given you a special identity, and you should fulfill your responsibilities. ”

"Hell Mission!"

After eating, the two went into the study and talked a lot about what happened after Wren left the imperial capital. Including the matter of the division of the prince and the princess, everyone was originally fighting, and the old emperor did not express his position, everyone has hope to get the sweetest fruit. But no one expected that after the old emperor fell, Pars immediately showed his edge and overturned all the original plans. None of her older siblings and younger siblings benefited, and they were only given a small fief, and the title was not even hereditary.

This certainly makes people feel that the new emperor is a little mean, but if he is still like this to his brothers and sisters, he will definitely be even more harsh to outsiders. But the Empress of Pars made many unexpected moves, in addition to the exile of some nobles, she also brought up a new group of nobles, and also gave special favor to some old nobles. Her actions are inexplicable, and inexplicably also bring a lot of uncertainties to everyone, and no one can figure out what kind of person this new empress is.

From the current point of view, everyone is still in a wait-and-see period with each other, and no one has taken the initiative to jump out and cause trouble. But this is definitely not a normal phenomenon, the contradictions between the major aristocratic groups and the gold aristocratic groups have been around for a long time, and in the final analysis, it is the uneven distribution of interests that has led to many contradictions between them. The three positions of the empire, namely the prime minister of the empire, the marshal of the empire, and the head of the imperial parliament, have always been controlled by the golden aristocracy, and from the founding of the country to the present, there is almost no difference from the lifelong hereditary system, which makes the nobles from the bottom very dissatisfied with this system.

Just as the golden aristocracy has been thinking about how to reinvent the power that has been divided, and the new aristocratic group is also actively planning how to gain more power, the contradictions between the old and new ruling groups will only become more and more serious, unless one party compromises to alleviate it. But whoever compromises means that there is a high probability of being politically eliminated.

The gold aristocracy has never been a soft-handed person, and the emerging aristocratic group is not all courtiers.

In short, the current political situation in the imperial capital is very complicated, with all kinds of hills, which is a very severe test for the ruling methods of Empress Pars.
