Chapter 280 A moment's gains and losses don't mean anything, only the ultimate winner is qualified to write history
Empress Pars thought for a moment and then suddenly looked up at Wren, what Wren said did move her, this bait is really heavy enough, and heavy enough, I am not afraid that those fish will not take the bait, "But you still haven't explained, what is the purpose of these things like Twright and Bowen, and Sarcomo, Wren, don't fool me." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Have you considered that if the parliament is expanded to five hundred seats, how can you ensure that the vast majority of its councillors will stand with you and the empire?", Wren's rhetorical question was very sharp, this is indeed a big problem, once the nobles enter the parliament and become members, the final result will still flow to the aristocratic group. There was always an irreconcilable contradiction between the nobility and the royal family, and this contradiction has existed since the early days of the country, and that is the Act of Reduced Succession.
This bill is like a sharp sword hanging over the head of every nobleman, perhaps those hereditary nobles can avoid it, but how many of the nobles in the entire empire do these great nobles occupy the whole empire? I am afraid that it will only be about five percent, or even less than five percent. Reduced succession made all nobles nervous, because it was inevitable, and once they lost their privileges and status, they would no longer be able to enjoy the special treatment they have now.
Becoming a civilian is easy to say, but in reality?
If the nobles want to consolidate their status and privileges, they must climb up, but the royal family cannot endlessly reward nobles and titles, there are fundamental contradictions and conflicts between the two, and contradictions and conflicts are inevitable and unavoidable. Keeping up with the royal family doesn't necessarily lead to a bright future, but the nobles can huddle together. The aristocrats formed a group and took care of each other, and even if someone was left behind, they were able to lend a hand.
The aristocracy can do this, but the royalty cannot.
This also led to the aristocracy always standing against the royal family and standing in opposition to the royal family.
Empress Pars was naturally well aware of these circumstances, which was also a stubborn problem of the Orlando Empire, and she looked at Wren with bright eyes, waiting for him to continue to explain.
"Twright, Sarcomo, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, including the so-called civil rights, the point of existence of these things is to broaden the criteria for the selection of members of Parliament. Twright's speech gave impetus to the birth of civil rights, and some would become representatives of the people, participating in the Imperial Diet. Sarcomo's business party is a representative of the merchants, and the soon-to-be-established Labour Party is a representative of the workers. These representatives will not be nobles, and there will be no direct conflicts of interest and contradictions with the royal family. They can be bought, they can be traded, and their existence is like extra weights at both ends of the scale. ”
"Of the five hundred seats the nobility occupies half of the seats, you occupy fifty seats, and the representatives of these various parties occupy the remaining two hundred seats. In other words, as long as the conditions are met, and enough benefits are given that are insignificant in relation to the nobility, these two hundred seats can be called upon by you. You can now imagine that at this point you are no longer going to lose, all that remains is to figure out how to win. ”
"As for the rest, we'll have to wait a little longer. Wren didn't finish his words, at least keeping the push for party building unspoken.
Now was not the right time, and he drew a flatbread for Empress Pars, but he could never draw the knife and plate used to divide the flatbread outside the flatbread. The partisan thing has great lethality, and it is a greater threat to the royal family than the aristocratic group. Wren now took advantage of the fact that the rulers of this world were unfamiliar and ignorant of the parties and took the lead. Once the partisan consciousness awakens, or Wren tells the Empress of Pars about the party in advance, perhaps this matter will not go so smoothly.
The purpose of the aristocratic group is to keep warm in groups, they do not have a clear purpose, and everyone is seeking their own interests in the aristocratic group. They were just an organization formed to fight against the royal family, and they didn't really want to be together for some amazing purpose. Compared with the parties, the aristocratic group is more passive than trying to take the initiative.
But parties are different, and the so-called party is simply a group of people who share the same goal and unite and fight for that goal. The word unity is completely different from the word huddle, whether it is pronounced, written or interpreted. Once there is a clear goal, the destructive power will increase, and the object of this destructive power is the authority of the royal family. The parties will be more active, more lethal, and in the end will be more sharply opposed to the imperial power.
Compared to the more selfish and chaotic aristocratic group with its chaotic goals, the party is too pure, so pure that it is terrible.
It is undeniable that there will be conflicts of interest within the party, but this conflict of interest will not affect the larger objectives. Once there is an opposition between individual interests and collective interests, then individual interests must be subordinated to collective interests, which is difficult for an organization like the aristocratic group to achieve.
After listening to Wren's explanation, Empress Pars's brows furrowed, and her mood became much better, and even the sun became brighter. She gave Wren a blank look, if it weren't for the fact that she looked too ordinary, it wasn't white eyes, but flattering eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance? I won't object to your plan. Empress Pars raised her hand and swept Wren's shoulder, even though nothing had fallen on it at all.
Wren smiled, "If you know all the plans, then the noble group may know too, and they will definitely be wary and even opposed. Isn't that bad now? Everybody was in the dark, and by the time they found out, it was too late. ”
He still didn't tell the truth, or he didn't tell the whole story. Why do you have to tell Empress Pars at this time? It's because the selection of councillors is about to enter the preparatory stage, and people's attention will be diverted again. The most important thing now is reform, not the election of representatives of a few interest groups.
Convincing Empress Pars is only the first step, the second step is to convince those who are excluded from the vested interests of the core interests, convincing these people that it is absolutely impossible to rely on Wren alone, and the cooperation of Empress Pars is also required.
Empress Pars raised her hand and pressed it to her chest, slowly breathing a sigh of relief, the expression on her face softened a lot, and her eyes were not as cold as before, "Okay, I accept your explanation. But Lord Wren, if you have similar plans next time, please be sure to let me know first, at least let me know a little, not like this. And you should also thank me for not being a tyrant, if it were my ancestors Orlando I and Orlando II ......", she glanced up at Wren's neck, and the rest of the words were silent.
An emperor who dared to fight the most in the entire Holy Empire, and an emperor who dared to start a civil war that lasted for eleven years, all had the unwavering will of iron and blood, and they would not give Wren such a chance to let him mess with him.
Of course, then again, if such an emperor really reigned, the aristocratic group probably would not dare to be as arrogant as it is now.
"Do you want to stay for dinner at noon?", Empress Pars solved the confusion in her heart, relieved her anger, and began to take the initiative to invite Wren to come. She found that in this empire, if everyone was ranked by ability, Wren might be ranked first. Although she was reluctant to admit this result, she had to admit that at least she had no way to restrain the increasingly powerful aristocratic group.
Once the Imperial Diet is lost, it means that she must compromise with the noble group, and now, this big problem has been solved by Wren. My heart was empty, and the whole person felt much more relaxed, and I walked lightly.
The two turned and began to walk back, Wren shook his head and refused Empress Pars's invitation, "You shouldn't have done this now that you know the truth, you should keep your anger going, and then rebuke me and kick me out." Until the dust settles, we are enemies, not friends, and we should not give our enemies any opportunities or clues. ”
"Okay, okay, I got it. Empress Pars immediately put on a straight face, as if I was angry, snorted coldly at Wren, and glared at him again. But this face still didn't tighten, and I couldn't help laughing.
Wren couldn't help but sigh that God had given this empress all the beauty and power, but he had forgotten something when he pinched her face, and had not given her a face that matched her identity. It is also not known who will become the rightful prince ...... this empire.
When the two of them reached the edge of the court, Empress Pars's face had already turned cold, cold like an eternal glacier, exuding a strong meaning. The servants and guards didn't even dare to breathe, and lowered their heads one after another, not wanting to get into trouble.
She snorted angrily and looked into the distance, Wren smiled wryly and left quickly.
Soon, news of this place spread outside the palace, and the whole palace was like a huge sieve with amazing holes, and nothing could be carried around.
This news didn't make many people take it to heart, after all, everyone could see that there was a shadow of Wren in these things recently, and he couldn't get rid of his involvement. At this time, people were more concerned about the problem of Twright, who was seriously injured in the assassination of Twright in the royal prison, and some of the great nobles began to incite the Privy Council and the Council of Elders to protest to the royal family, believing that the royal family could not guarantee that the rights and interests of the nobles were reasonably protected, and once demanded that Empress Pars immediately release Twright, or at least keep Twright in a safer place, not in prison.
In the face of the nobles' attack, Empress Pars seemed to be unable to resist, and finally reluctantly agreed to let Twright go home to recuperate.
For the nobles, it was a victory and a testament to the power of their unity to influence the will of the supreme ruler of the Empire, Empress Orlando VII Pars.
It's really gratifying, congratulations!
