Of course, because the Temple of Light worships the goddess of light, the temple also has a sun-emblematic emblem on its coat of arms, with the only exception. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, it is said that the earliest implementer of this noble badge system, the founding emperor of the Empire of Light, Emperor Maud I, was the first inspiration for these rules. The sun pattern of the temple symbolizes the goddess of light, and the sun pattern of the royal family naturally represents the royal family's monopoly on the secular power given by the gods.

But you can't draw flags, you can't draw swords, you can only decorate the stars?

Joseph pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he sketched a few random strokes on a piece of drawing paper, drew a figure of a badge, and then said to the learned old scholar: "Excuse me, just design the badge for me according to these patterns I have drawn, oh, by the way, remember the size and order of these patterns, don't mess up!"

The gray-haired old scholar looked at the patterns drawn by Joseph, and suddenly looked at him with some surprise and asked, "Is it just these patterns, according to this arrangement and size, there is no problem, but will it be too simple?"

"It's okay, you just follow this drawing, I don't think it's easy at all!" José suddenly had a strange smile on his face.

Su Ya on the side saw Qiao Se showing this look, and only felt that the badge he drew might not be a serious thing...... This guy must not design any taboo patterns?!

Thinking of this, Su Ya couldn't help but take a few steps closer, and then saw what the pattern was drawn by Joseph, but she couldn't help but be a little surprised for a moment: on the drawing paper, what Joseph drew was nothing else, it was the pattern of five stars.

Among the five stars, the first star from left to right is the largest, the other four are slightly smaller, except for the first big star, the four stars are arranged in an orderly arc, although it looks very simple, but if you look closely, you feel a special beauty and extraordinary momentum in it.

"This pattern ......" Su Ya was stunned, although there was nothing wrong with this pattern, but looking at the strange smile on Jose's face, she still confirmed it with some unease.

"What, there's nothing wrong with this pattern, right?" Qiao Se smiled mysteriously, looking at Su Ya's blank expression, and couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed:

Hehe, what kind of sun totem, is it as powerful as my five-star alignment?!Brother This family emblem is the national emblem of the Great Heavenly Empire! How can you natives of another world understand it?!

.........

After taking a lot of effort to complete the family badge, Jose had a deeper understanding of the aristocracy of the Bright Empire.

And in these days in the imperial capital, Qiao Se also learned about the political system of the Bright Empire from many sources, and had a general understanding of the so-called imperial framework.

The Bright Empire is roughly equivalent to a feudal society in terms of civilization, and due to the different political and cultural development of the empire, there is also a big gap in the understanding of centralized power. Although there were emperors in the empire, most of the local areas were ruled by local nobles.

For example, a nobleman with a title like Joseph can get a fief according to the laws of the empire, and within his fief, the lord has financial power, and about 10% of the tax revenue is basically owned by the lord. But don't underestimate this, you must know that the territory of many big nobles is about one province, and the empire has only a dozen provinces in total, and one percent of the annual tax revenue of a province is definitely a lot of income.

Even for a minor nobleman like Joseph, the fiefdom would not be too small, and in addition to that, the nobleman had a certain amount of judicial power. You must know that the great nobles in the empire all have their own industries and workshops under their own names, whether it is handicrafts, daily necessities or food, etc., and there are even several large families that specialize in producing ordnance for the empire and undertaking military orders.

Therefore, even if they do not rely on the financial income of the fief, as long as these nobles issue some decrees in the fief that are beneficial to their own industry, it is enough for their families to obtain a stable and continuous wealth of their families. The so-called integration of officials and merchants, under such means, these nobles can naturally attract a large amount of funds, and these funds can provide more taxes for the empire, so it can be said to be beneficial to the empire's economy.

However, in the eyes of modern people like Joseph, this kind of government, which is similar to the feudal system, has certain hidden dangers within the rule: first, the monopoly of the local political economy by the great aristocracy, although it seems to be beneficial to the imperial economy, has a great influence on the centralization of power. In particular, imperial law allowed the aristocracy to have armed forces such as private armies, and there was a risk of local power separation.

However, the situation on the mainland of Ceylon is different from that of the ancient Celestial Empire, at least in terms of people's ideology, the idea of centralization does not have a clear concept. Even the ambitious Mondvia IV, while admiring Chaucer's theory of centralization, had only a vague idea of how to change the political structure.

However, after hundreds of years, the Bright Empire is also quite stable in terms of political structure, although the nobles have a certain amount of power, but it cannot create any situation of separation and self-reliance. The key is that among the many traditional nobles in the empire, most of them value the honor and inheritance of the family very much, and it is very rare for a powerful nobleman to start a rebellion.

In the history of the Bright Empire, even if there were some powerful nobles and important ministers who overthrew the emperor and controlled the affairs of the empire, there were very few nobles who tried to overthrow the empire. Speaking of which, although there are some drawbacks to aristocratic politics, the aristocratic thinking formed by this has brought a lot of stability to the rule of the empire.

Looking at the entire empire, except for places like the Northwest and the Papal States, the aristocratic forces are almost all over the empire, and compared to the situation of the three major external empires, the internal aristocracy is almost nothing harmful to the imperial power and the empire, after all, powerful enemy countries such as Macedonian Isby are the biggest hidden dangers of the Bright Empire!!

And within the empire, what must be decided is the challenge of divine power to royal power!

Of course, no one dares to openly claim such a conclusion, because anyone who dares to spread such a statement has a very accurate analysis of the political pros and cons of the empire, but the political mind is almost at the level of a child.

When the temple openly burned at the stake the first scholars for demagoguery, no one dared to make such remarks casually.

But many people who understand know that within the Empire of Light, the only one that can compete with the imperial power and pose a threat to the imperial power is only one organization - the Temple of Light!!
