Chapter 293 A loud voice doesn't necessarily make sense, but if the fist is big and heavy, it must be justified
There was an uproar!
Someone stood up and reacted very violently, "What do you think of the Imperial Council as a technical service center? Can anyone come to the technical service center? What about us? Are we all skilled women?"
This must be a councillor, and only a councillor would have such a big reaction, the eagle would never want to eat in a circle with pheasants, and these nobles would not want to mingle with the commoners. The so-called class www.biquge.info the nobility raised the social status of the aristocracy and made them detached from the cornerstone of this society. More than 2,000 and 3,000 nobles have no commoners, are they still nobles? Twright and Wren once said that every nobleman must step on hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of commoners, otherwise he cannot be called a nobleman.
His words are not untargeted, there are two meanings of these words, the first meaning is very simple, a family does not have so many commoners to support, and it is impossible to show a face that is in line with his identity and status. The aristocracy has never had anything to do with frugality, and even the Duke of Ganwen, the prime minister of the empire, who lived a very frugal life, had his estate cost more than a million gold coins. The price of the land, the price of the building, the price of the decorations in the building, and the status represented by living here have nothing to do with frugality.
And the second meaning is that a qualified nobleman must have a fief. The fiefdom was very useful, in addition to providing material wealth, it also provided a certain number of warriors to the nobility. In this era of peace and prosperity, the conquests between the nobles were almost never broken. Especially in the provinces far away from the imperial capital, the official nobles and lords often fought in full swing. Without a fief, there is no source of troops, and without a source of troops, it is impossible to guarantee one's own safety.
Empress Pars did not like the Archduke of Joan of Arc, and perhaps even Orlando VI did not like the old woman, but they all gave the Archduke Joan of Arc the necessary respect, and they respected the old woman herself? No, they never respected a title, or a person, even if he/she was a saint or a ruler. What they respected was the power in the hands of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc, the iron knights inherited from the 15,000 eras, and the 30,000 fearless warriors who were enough to destroy the two provinces.
Only with these powers can the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc be the Grand Duke. If not, perhaps she had died when Empress Pars ascended the throne.
The royal family never gives up every opportunity to kill a powerful enemy, and the shameless Orlando family has done enough of it, and they intend to continue to do it.
Therefore, the commoners are the real masters of this country, but these nobles, all the vast majority of nobles in this hall, do not understand this truth. They also think that the world is the same as it was in the past, and that the fooled commoners are like cattle and sheep who dedicate their lives to nothing else. The emergence of guilds was an important turning point in social progress, and it also heralded the transfer of power from a small group of people to the hands of the majority.
This is the inertia of history, the inevitable result of the wheels rolling forward.
In the face of such a fierce reaction, Wren shook his head pitifully and pathetically, stupid people often can't see the distance. This kind of person is also destined to be eliminated by the times.
He pointed to the guy, he didn't want to know the name of the man, "As the imperial residence of the Orlando Empire, how many commoners and nobles are there in this city?", he didn't wait for the man to answer, and continued: "How many commoners and how many nobles are there in this country?"
"The tragedy of Balatan is imminent, and the soul of Angelo, who died in the bloodshed of Veneer, is still crying, is this the commoner you know? Have you ever considered that the commoner can also cause such a terrible injury to the nobles?", Wren waved his arm and pointed at Terlet, "Count Terlet, please tell us how many farmers in Nawulechen have joined a guild-like organization. ”
Twright said a shocking number with a blank face, "There are about 700,000 to 900,000, including almost all the peasant families of Nawu Lechen. ”
Wren nodded, "Very good, thanks for the numbers." Since he looked at the person who reacted first, the sneering expression made the man's face flush and he gritted his teeth, "Let's take a middle number, 800,000 farmers, and their families, which is a huge number of nearly four million people. Tell me, then, if these three organizations are compelled to rise up against the rule of the aristocracy in the face of some problem, I would like to ask all of you, who will be able to suppress the revolt of these four million people, and who will, after killing these people, find another four million people to fill the void of the Wu Lechen?"
"Some people want to say it's impossible, it's just my imagination. I would like to ask, then, before the rebellion of the Balatan Self-Salvation Society, did anyone think that this group of workers would use weapons and a tough posture to resist the rule of the aristocracy? What was their purpose? Is it difficult to meet these two inconspicuous demands, compared to the death of a few nobles with titles, the death of hundreds of noble members, the death of more than twenty merchants, and the cost of nearly 30,000 civilian casualties?"
"Why is this happening? It's just that their voices are not loud enough, and the nobility, merchants, and elites don't pay attention to their voices, and even if they hear them, they pretend they don't know. They made demands and opinions, but because of their status and social status, they were not taken seriously, and in the end they had to use another way for us to face them, and that was to kill. ”
"Here, I propose a hypothesis, if the person who makes these two demands is not an ordinary worker, not a commoner without the slightest political position, but a member of the Imperial Diet who has the power to sit in attendance, will the result be the same?", Wren's voice grew louder, and his voice was filled with a certain determined force, and he let out a thunderous cry, "No!"
"There will be no more Balatan massacre, there will not be so many casualties, there will not be so many losses, simply because the person who made this proposal was a member of the Reichstag. Is it ridiculous? Is it pathetic?!At least, I think it's ridiculous and pathetic. History is a book that summarizes many failures and successes, and constantly alerts us, but we always inadvertently ignore these lessons, and then keep repeating mistakes and failures with blood and tears. ”
"Gentlemen, though I hate to say it, I have to say it!", Wren calmed his tone, glancing at Queen Pars, "the times are pushing for change, and new changes are coming. We have given Desi the pride of being human beings, and we should also give them the most basic power. We can be rulers, but we must not make dictators who insist on going their own way. Will it be detrimental to you to let some representatives of the people into the Imperial Diet?"
"Not necessarily, we can negotiate and compromise with each other by the minority obeying the majority. The intention of the Full Moon Dynasty on the Western Front has never disappeared, and the power accumulated by the Byron Empire on the Eastern Front for 260 years is eyeing it. And we, for refusing some small changes, are we going to shed blood against our own people?"
Wren clenched his fists with five fingers and slammed it the table, and a loud bang spread throughout the hall, "The fall of the Holy Empire more than three hundred and seventy years ago seems to be just yesterday's thing, today, we must learn a lesson and prevent such a thing from happening again!" Every Desi should contribute to the strength of the empire!"
He straightened his back, straightened his chest, raised his hand and pinched the corner of his clothes and tugged down hard, making them more decent. He raised his head, his eyes swept over all the nobles present, his face showed an extremely strong expression, and a momentum suddenly exploded, with a slight contemptuous smile, he opened his mouth and said, "I am in favor, who is against?"
The entire hall of parliament was silent, only deep and shallow gasps, and there was a deep shock in Gampon's eyes, and there was a complicated light in Empress Pars's slightly squinted eyes. The representatives of the gold nobility beside Wren also had their own thoughts.
Rennes was too aggressive, which made some people feel worried and some people faintly excited.
After a moment, Nengalel stood up, he glanced back at the dense aristocrats, then turned to look at Wren, and flicked his collar with a smile, "I agree!"
Boom, the entire congress hall exploded in an instant, as the leader of the southern aristocratic group who ranked third in the struggle against the imperial power, Nengalel actually agreed to such a proposal? This is simply an incredible thing!
However, what they didn't expect was that one after another nobles stood up and expressed their approval.
Even Isaac stood up, his impatient look and cynical chuckle, "In the desert, after getting lost, we don't rely on maps to find directions, but on instinct. My instinct told me that I should support the proposal of His Excellency the Count of Rennes. He laughed twice, and a delicate silver ornament loomed in his hand, "I approve!"
The two leaders of the noble bloc voted in favor, which meant that at least half of the nobles would support the proposal, and even if Pilagos was against it, there was a strong chance that it would be passed in the Imperial Diet.
Empress Pars's clenched fists were covered with slippery sweat, and her heart was thrilled with a constant amount of Wren.
The Imperial Diet, which was controlled by the aristocratic group, is finally showing signs of disintegration, which also means that she will gain more authority and more power!
