Chapter 196: Cessation of War (2)

Soon.

The news that the Northern Army and the Southern Army were preparing to retreat spread in full swing in the central provinces, and many people throughout the central region began to breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, not only Diana had a hard time, but Wes's side was not smooth, his position as Grand Duke came very strangely, although he strongly suppressed the entire Magnolia, but some internal troubles continued.

Don't think that Diana's withdrawal is a victory for Wes.

Sometimes the victors in a war are not necessarily the two sides involved in the war.

Since Diana announced the withdrawal of troops and began to withdraw them one after another, the whole Magnolia has fallen into an inexplicable atmosphere, and smart people seem to smell something, and they are all in a hurry, constantly communicating, communicating, compromising, and trading in private. And stupid people are also affected by this environment, and begin to instinctively huddle together for warmth, although they don't know what everyone is planning, but there is nothing wrong with following the trend.

Sure enough.

After the withdrawal of the last Northland troops from the centre, the heavens of Magnolia began to change faintly, and the newly appointed Prime Minister Frances introduced a groundbreaking bill, the Act on the Legislation and Implementation of the Principality and the House of Representatives, known as the "Act of Parliament".

This bill was introduced by Prime Minister Frances, and it went directly to the Royal Parliament, which went directly through all political and legal departments.

The Imperial Council.

This was supposed to be a state emergency mechanism, and in the event of the sudden death of the Grand Duke, a few respected nobles were elected by the entire Violet to serve as regents, and of course, the so-called high esteem was largely determined by power and status.

For example, in Wes's Imperial Council, there are a total of six regents, namely the patriarch of the Valen family, the chief of the Valen family, the current prime minister, Frances, and then the chancellor of the exchequer, the minister of intelligence, the secretary of security, the secretary of military affairs, and the university scholar.

These six nobles can sit firmly in the Imperial Council to replace the new Grand Duke Weiss in such a turbulent time, and they naturally have huge forces behind them.

In fact.

When many small and medium-sized nobles talk about the sudden death of the eldest duke in private, they must mention these six families. With Wes's wasteful character, how could he have planned such a perfect coup d'état, and then seized the Grand Duke with lightning speed.

In such a sudden change, whether it was the blockade of the Boleri Academy of Magic, or the purge and surveillance of the entire Magnolian princess faction nobles, it was all carried out under the impetus of an invisible black hand.

It's just that the war broke out very suddenly.

Many smart people are dragged down by the war in front of them, and they fail to discover the secrets in the first place. However, after Diana began to withdraw her troops, many people began to wake up from the stalemate of the war, and some people immediately noticed some clues behind the whole chaotic war.

It wasn't until the "Act of Congress" was introduced that everyone found out.

The center of the entire violet was unknowingly controlled by the six powerful clans representing the strength of the wealthy clans in the central region, especially Frances, the patriarch of the Valen family. This man is much younger than many powerful ministers, he is only fifty years old, and among a group of gray-haired old nobles, this person is undoubtedly the youngest one.

His wrists and strength are also amazing.

There are many rules and regulations in the bill of Congress, but there is only one way to sum up: to expand the rights of the aristocracy, to form a cabinet and a Congress, and all laws and regulations regarding major policy changes in the Violet State must be passed by a unanimous vote of the members of Congress.

This is a seizure of power with the Grand Duke!

It can be said that once this bill is passed, the Grand Duke will not be able to form a great deterrent in terms of political and military strength, except for nominally becoming the master of the country. It is like a key that completely opens the door to the rights of the aristocracy, and many previously unimaginable Bills of Rights and Interests have the possibility of passing!

Generous!

This is simply a subversion of the country's regime, but it is clear that this bill speaks to the hearts of the vast majority of the aristocracy. The whole of Magnolia, however, fell into an eerie calm.

Although there are six nobles in the lead, don't forget.

Wes Pars's family also had a number of real nobles who represented the interests of the Grand Duke, some of whom controlled the important political branches of the country, and others, such as the Marquis in the east, who directly owned the army that subverted everything.

None of the small and medium-sized nobles dared to make a sound. In fact, this bill seems to pay attention to the demands of all nobles, so that the rights of the nobles have been released to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it raises the glory of the holy nobility to the level of royal power.

But think about it.

How are important members of parliament elected to Congress? There must be a series of deals and compromises behind the birth of each member of parliament, after all, a member of parliament represents a sacred right to change the laws of the country.

This will inevitably lead to an incomparably fierce competition for seats in the parliament, and in such a fierce political struggle, the vast majority of the petty nobles can only watch, and at most they can only speak in the parliament, but in terms of actual decision-making, only those wealthy families who really hold the resources of the state.

But even so, the meaning of this bill is fermenting.

Many of the feudal lords began to pay attention, and even many nobles who were in a wait-and-see position in the Central War sent envoys to form a large group of envoys into Magnolia.

These local lords should be nobles who are more eager for the establishment of a parliament in addition to the wealthy clans.

As long as the Congress is formed, the local lords who occupy most of the violet lands will have enough capital to reach out to the central government. They can prop up a central aristocracy, combine local and central to ensure their own interests, and under the huge institution of Congress, they can have more room to maneuver to avoid situations that are detrimental to their own interests.

Know that the larger the organization, the more loopholes there are for representation.

In the past, when power was centralized, the local aristocracy faced a grand duke, and the grand duke was the one who looked for loopholes, and he was the state. Now, once the parliament is established, there is more room for maneuver between the councillors, the family and the grand duke, and the local aristocracy can also indirectly participate in the decision-making of the state.

Every local nobility longed to enter the royal capital as victors, but the former royal capital was like the cold throne of the Grand Duke, which kept them from stopping.

Now they see an opportunity to pursue long-term benefits for future generations and for their families.

All the local nobles abandoned their original positions, and they entered the royal capital to frantically start to promote the passage of the bill, and they actively cooperated with any nobleman, and countless gold coins and resources were used. In order to get the bill passed, they were very active in pushing Weiss to sit on the throne of the Grand Duke.

These people see it very clearly.

The six wealthy families are the real speakers, that Wes is just a grand duke living in a dream, if there were many people who supported Diana before, but when they saw that Weiss had hope to promote the establishment of Congress, they did not hesitate to turn to Wes.

Because only Weiss became the Grand Duke, and he was orthodox, the establishment of Congress left nothing to say.

Diana was a shrewd princess, and she would never have made such a decision at the expense of the Pars family, so at this point, Diana had already lost.
