Moseley left the prime minister's office in a fit of rage.

He thinks Ma Wei is too arrogant!

If you don't even listen to the intention, let him leave!

It's hard for this kind of person to make a big deal!

In the office, assistant David looked at the closed door and couldn't help asking: "Prime Minister, although Commissioner Mosley is young, he is a very capable person, he has been invited to the cabinet after only two years of joining the Conservative Party, and he is a rare talent."

"Oswald Mosley is really not easy." Ma Wei said: "He is probably here today to join the Liberal Party." ”

"And you still refuse him? If you reject him, I am afraid that the Conservatives will not turn to the Liberals in the future."

"I didn't want them to take refuge in the first place." Ma Wei said: "The dominance of the family is not a situation that His Majesty and the Pope want to see, everything must have a balance, and without competition, power will be highly concentrated, causing turmoil." ”

"Is this what the Pope and the King mean?" David looked surprised.

"Leviathan-style political structures are a thing of the past, David."

Throwing a mint leaf into his mouth, Ma Wei said quietly: "The king is no longer the leader of the will of the kingdom, nor is the cabinet, and even the parliament can only be regarded as the embodiment of the will of the people. ”

"God needs the faith of believers, so they impose their own creative thoughts on believers, but believers are independent individuals, they will be influenced by those around them, but they still have the ability to think for themselves."

"Because of self-reflection, believers are able to distinguish between right and wrong, and the individual subjectivity in the Leviathan nation is difficult to convince them, and they have a unique set of moral standards forged through the melting pot of society, which is the basis on which they judge the world."

The more David listened, the more confused he became, he knew what the Leviathan state was, the theory put forward by the famous philosopher Thomas Hobbes in the three hundred years, opposing the divine right of kings, advocating absolute monarchy, and advocating the use of 'state religion' to control the people and maintain 'order'.

But Ma Wei's words undoubtedly mixed believers and people with gods and power, which is also something that David did not understand.

Believers—people—gods—power is inseparable.

Seeing David's confused face, Ma Wei explained: "To put it simply, the will of the state is no longer the will of individuals under the autocratic system, but the will of the people and the will of the whole. ”

Hobbes believed that the state was the people's distribution of a part of their rights to the king, and then they submitted to the king's will and were granted asylum, and in an autocracy, the people were numb and all obeyed by the king's orders. But in reality, since the Glorious Revolution, all this has been turned upside down, power has been redistributed, and capitalism has begun to develop wildly. ”

"Now that the gods have come, God needs to get the faith of believers, so he has to listen to the voices of believers, which hinders the development of capitalism, because the vast majority of believers come from the bottom of the people, and it is precisely the people at the bottom who are exploited by capitalism, and the church as a substitute must protect the interests of believers, so as to break out sharp social contradictions."

David somewhat understood: "Prime Minister, do you mean that the emergence of the Labour Party and the decline of the Liberal Party are actually the result of the collision between the church and capital?" ”

"Your point of view is fresh and goes straight to the heart of the matter."

Ma Wei nodded and said: "The church, before the advent of the gods, also belonged to a kind of capital, through the interpretation of doctrines and gods to obtain monopoly and supreme power, but since the advent of the gods, the core of the church has changed, the gods no longer need them to define, but the real meaning has appeared, so they began to teach believers according to the true gods, in this process, it is bound to conflict with capital and even secular power." ”

"It's a good thing to have conflict, conflict often means innovation, capital and secular power are obviously not the opponents of the church, but the church can't directly eliminate capital, after all, the existence of capital has made the rapid development of science and technology and improve the lives of many people."

"If only the church is concerned, the lack of subjective initiative will lead to social stagnation, and only by using capital can people live a better life."

"That's why we need to balance!" David suddenly realized: "A delicate balance can make both sides have the motivation to compete!" Prime Minister, you deliberately Moseley! ”

"That's right."

Ma Wei smiled, "You finally understand what I mean." ”

Saying this, Ma Wei didn't think so in his heart.

It is true that he deliberately angered Moseley, but the fundamental purpose was to force Moseley into the camp of the Four Princes, not the Liberals.

As prime minister, he could not openly persuade Moseley to join the Labour Party, so he could only try to force him out.

Unsurprisingly, after the first cabinet meeting, Moseley took the initiative to visit Arthur and said that he had something important to discuss.

"Commissioner Moseley, shouldn't you be meeting at 9 Downing Street right now?"

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the meeting has ended." Moseley sat across from his desk and lit a cigarette: "The new prime minister is a man of simplicity and ability. ”

No complaints, no hostility, except for a brief moment of anger at the time of rejection, Moseley has returned to his normal heart.

It's useless to complain, it will only be annoying, it won't solve the problem at all, and hostility is even more ridiculous, people are prime ministers, and the revocation of your position is a matter of one sentence, and any handsome man who knows the current affairs will not express his dissatisfaction with the big people who have a higher status than themselves or even can decide their own life and death.

Negotiation is like this, you make your demands, I talk about my conditions, complaining and explaining will only fall into inferiority.

"You said you had something very important to look for me, but I don't know what it is?"

Arthur asked his secretary to bring him hot tea, which was much more gentle than Mavey's attitude.

"I've always felt sorry for you, Your Highness." Moseley said straight to the point: "Although Your Highness is the youngest of the four princes, your wisdom is no worse than the other three princes, and I always think that Your Highness, your situation is not suitable for your ability." ”

Looking at Moseley, a 22-year-old young man with a shiny mid-point, Arthur asked with interest: "In the Conservative Party, you are already one of the few, why don't you stick to it?" ”

"The Conservatives can't live up to my ambitions."

Mosley said calmly: "Your Highness, my goal is more ambitious than you think. ”

Arthur nodded slowly: "From your eyes, I see ambition, and I'm also curious, how many people like you are in the Conservative Party?" ”

"If His Highness is willing to accept it, I think there will be more than a dozen, at least."

"What do you think of Labour?"

"I think Labour is doing the right thing!" Moseley suddenly became excited, and his eyes were shining: "If the original economic environment is followed, I think it will take at least 30 years or more for the Labour Party to be founded, and it must have gone through the war before similar ideological sprouts can appear." ”

"But Your Highness, the most powerful thing about you is that you seized the fleeting opportunity! It should be said that the opportunity is what you take the initiative to create! ”

"You used the Education Reform Act submitted by the Liberal Party with the women's unions to stand up when workers needed help most! The emergence of women's unions and the Education Reform Act was a surprise! Without them as a catalyst for the domestic economy, Labour would not have been able to build such momentum in such a short period of time! ”

Moseley said quickly: "If you can do this, either Your Highness has a master behind you, or Your Highness you are the master!" ”

"You see it very thoroughly." Arthur said.

"The only thing I can't understand is that the women's union and the Education Reform Act are both ideological waves started by the Liberal Party, but the second prince and you are not on good terms, and he has no reason to help."

Moseley frowned and said, "I really can't figure out why the Liberals would come up with a bill that seems to be beneficial to themselves, but is actually helping Your Highness." ”

What a keen sense of smell!

Arthur narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said: "You can't use the results to deduce the process, as far as I know, Shukri proposed the Education Reform Act in order to speculate on the house, as for the women's union, it was just an accident, without Duke Chevali, the feminist movement would have been suppressed a long time ago, and Duke Shevali was not a member of the Liberal Party." ”

"Maybe it's a coincidence."

Mosley flicked the ash of his cigarette and changed his words: "Your Highness, do you think I am qualified?" ”

Without much hesitation, Arthur got up and held out his hand to Moseley:

"You're welcome to join us."

Moseley also stood up, shook hands with Arthur, and said in a serious tone: "Your Highness, you will not regret today's decision, I promise you." ”

Moseley was relieved to join the Labour Party, and when Mavey refused, he panicked, if neither the Liberals nor the Labour Party would accept him, then he would have no place to carry out his ambitions.

Fortunately, everything is going well, and the Labour Party is willing to accept his surrender, and then all it takes is to find an opportunity to change the court.

"Commissioner Moseley, please stay."

Moseley, who was about to board the carriage and leave, heard a voice behind him, stopped, and looked back to see a young man in an octagonal hat and a jacket.

"You are?"

"My master, please meet for a while."

The young man in the octagonal hat pointed to a four-wheeled carriage that was coming not far away, and smiled, "Please don't refuse. ”

Glancing at the young man's slightly bulging waist, Moseley knew he had no choice, and after the carriage opened, he lowered his head and slipped in.

In the dark compartment, the pungent smell of perfume filled the air, and what appeared in front of Moseley's eyes was a middle-aged man with round cheeks, holding a goblet with half a glass of red wine.

Drinking red wine in the car?

What freaks?

Coming from an aristocratic family, Moseley did not like to drink red wine in a rickety carriage, and he was taught to be elegant, no matter what situation, what situation, what status, to be elegant.

Smoking in the car was the limit of what he could accept.

"Commissioner Oswald Mosley. The youngest member of parliament in the Kingdom of Windsor, you were only 21 years old when you entered the House of Commons, and before that, you attended the Royal Military Academy for a while. ”

Hearing that the other party knew him so well, Mosley was a little curious: "Who is Your Excellency?" Didn't know that kidnapping a cabinet member is a felony? ”

"Kidnapping? No, no, no, you're mistaken. The middle-aged man ordered the coachman to stop the carriage, pointed to the unlocked door and said, "This is not a kidnapping, but an invitation, you can leave at any time, at any time." ”

Moseley was not in a hurry to leave, he did not feel the danger, so he was naturally curious about what the other party was looking for him, seeing that he was not leaving, the middle-aged man ordered the coachman to move on, and then said: "I haven't introduced myself yet, you can call me Mr. Butler, if you need anything in London, please feel free to look for me." ”

"Mr. Butler." Moseley felt the name familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it: "What are you looking for me for?" ”

"Do you know the Doomsday Party?"

"You're the Doomsday?"

"Yes." Mr. Butler nodded slightly: "It seems that you know us, so it will save you too much trouble, and if you are also a savior who is worried about the fate of mankind, please also join our Doomsday Party"

"The reputation of the Doomsday Party is not very good." Moseley said.

"That's just a rumor spread by some people, and for someone like you, if it can help you achieve your big ambitions, you will even sell your soul to the devil, right?"

Mr. Butler smiled and said, "If you need help, our Doomsday Party is your best choice, not your soul, not your money, and will not bear the name of a human traitor." ”

"I didn't want to be a traitor to humanity." "I'm doing whatever it takes, but that doesn't mean I'm going to surrender to the devil, and I've never seen the devil!" I don't even know what they look like! ”

What does the devil look like?

Mr. Housekeeper thought of Freya, the other party's beauty, mature charm, can be called the best, even he coveted it, few men can hold it.

Mr. Butler has a rough guess about what the devil looks like, and he knows that many devils are not as ugly as described in the teachings of the churches, and that they are devils, not that there is a problem with aesthetics.

Thinking about it, it was impossible for Mr. Butler to tell Moseley about Freya's status as a devil, and continued to persuade him: "Mr. Moseley, please believe me, you will not be willing to make a contract with the devils, they are a group of cunning creatures, instead of cooperating with them, it is better to choose the Doomsday Party." ”

"What's the benefit of working with you?"

"We'll help you achieve your ambitions, don't you want to be prime minister? It's simple, it's not difficult at all. ”

"Simple?" Moseley sneered: "The new Prime Minister Nicholas is only 27 years old, the Liberal Party, the Democratic Party and even the church support him, this kind of person has a terrible long tenure, as long as he does not make mistakes, the prime minister has always been in his bag, why the Doomsday Party?" Are you going to assassinate him? ”

"Assassination is too low-level, and we have a better way."

Mr. Butler said lightly: "The prime minister is appointed by the king, as long as he has the support of the king, it is just a matter of changing the prime minister, are you right?" ”

"You can get the king's support?!"

Moseley's eyes widened:

"How is this possible!"
