Section 145 Wait and Wait (I)

The ascension of a new king to the throne brought joy to St. Quentin.

Whether certain people in the House of Lords were happy or unhappy, they could not prevent William from ascending to the throne.

Edward left enough for his son before he died, the regular army of the kingdom was in the hands of the royal family, and most of his former ministers also expressed their support for William: "We recognize no one but William." ”

And his successor is not bad, and the table at the enthronement ceremony is remarkable, which makes the old courtiers such as Regina and Mansfield very pleased, as if they saw Edward's appearance when he was young.

Of course, his age was an issue, so the dukes thought that someone should "adjudicate" or consider taking some government affairs to the House of Lords to decide and deal with them, but the House of Commons did not mention it.

But they couldn't do it, although Edward was gone, but the legacy and majesty he left behind were still there, and with the assistance of his old courtiers, they couldn't shake it.

Even in the House of Lords, there will be people who will come out against them, for example, when the Lords represented by the three Dukes are "willing" to help the immature monarch perform more duties to the Kingdom, and there will be other Lords who raise the issue of equal power in the House of Lords.

As a result, the Dukes' plan was immediately unable to proceed, because the House of Commons was now unequal, and the members of the House of Commons wanted to have equal rights, which was a normal idea, but it was certainly not approved by the majority of the Lords.

When the House of Lords quarreled over equal rights, the dukes didn't have much energy to try to get more out of William.

Because according to the previous separation of powers, although the deputies did not have the right to make proposals, they could not put forward bills. But if there is a bill on equal rights in the upper and lower houses of parliament first. But they can participate in the discussion and decision.

However, if you think that there are slightly more people in the House of Commons. It would be a mistake to take advantage of this bill and get equal rights directly, because the complexity of the House of Commons is actually greater than that of the House of Lords.

The House of Lords was actually very distinct, and when the parliament was expanded, the charter was formulated, and power was distributed, it was originally a tool for the great nobles to seek confrontation with the king in politics, although Edward mixed sand into it. However, only those with the title of baron and above are eligible to enter the House of Lords, and qualification does not mean that they must enter, according to the rank of knighthood, and the same title is decided by the king, and there is an upper limit on the number of people.

This kind of restriction is destined to be a high door valve in the House of Lords, even if Edward has someone to enter, such as Solomon, but it can only initiate bills, the nobles in the royal party are undoubtedly in a weak position in the House of Lords, and some neutral aristocratic councilors who are not attached to the dukes may not be absolutely on the opposite side of the dukes. For example, on the issue of equal rights between the House of Lords and the House of Commons, the attitude of the Spencer family is very vague.

And in the House of Commons. The lords of the House of Lords will also mix sand into it, and Edward is not the only one who will do this.

For example, they will also pick people who have a close relationship or interest with them to run for the House of Commons, so as to form a role in the House of Commons that can act as a-stirring stick. The most common trick is the previously mentioned merchant guild leader and his subordinate merchants, who rely on the special relationship with the great nobles and the ancient rules of commerce to gain power, and the new merchants represented by the commodity exchange are originally in competition, but they are gradually in the end, but because of this, such merchants need the support of the duke or other great nobles to save the status and interests of the river, and although the money in their hands has lost its vitality, it is absolutely in line with the requirements of the kingdom charter for entering the lower house。

The other type is the most trusted confidant or servant of the great nobles, if it is the latter, they decisively give a free body, and take the opportunity to give a rich property, and then the "free man" who has obtained the wealth will immediately sign up for the election. Once elected as a member of the House of Commons, it is conceivable that this member of the House of Commons will definitely become an extension of the tentacles of a certain big man in the House of Lords.

In general, the big nobles can use it to mix sand in the House of Commons, and there are still fewer people who act as-stirring sticks, otherwise they would not be so scoundrels as to turn their servants into free men to run for election.

However, because of the will of the big people behind them, these puppets can often unite and make a unified voice although they are few, while their opponents, although there are many people, they are like scattered sand, each with different interests and demands.

Moreover, people do not know enough about the role of the enlarged parliament, whether it is the correct vote or the active candidacy, it is at a very low level, and there are still many members of the parliament who have old thinking, and do not realize the importance of equal rights, but are influenced and bewitched by the words of those puppets, and some people feel that it is not wrong to follow the decisions of those big people.

In this situation, if Edward does not die, he may have a headache.

Of course, this is a special case, if the number of votes is determined by the number of people, the parliamentarians who obviously occupy the majority cannot vote for their due power, which can only appear in the beginning of the political life.

The only way to use the king's ruling power was what Edward wanted to see the most, and although he didn't enjoy it, his son had the opportunity to act as a balancer.

As a result, the new king ruled that the members of the House of Commons were inexperienced in politics and should not have equal power with the House of Lords for the time being.

The House of Lords was relieved, but the new king then issued a new order to complete the last order of the previous king to reform the cabinet, and pointed out that this was absolutely necessary, because he was young, so wouldn't it be possible for more people to help the king if the cabinet was expanded?

The dukes seem to have no reason to object, especially after William ruled to settle the affirmative action struggle, if the House of Lords resists this order, will there be another affirmative action battle?

Only two of the three dukes were currently in the Cabinet, and the House of Lords was occupied by the great nobles, and it was obvious which was more in the interests of the majority of them, which even the Medici and Bourbon could not defy the will.

Therefore, the expansion of the Cabinet has been carried out in a logical way, and the former Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, Minister of Defense, Minister of International Trade, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Supreme Court of Justice have been promoted. Expanded for eight people. The Secretary of State for the Home has been added. There is also a Minister of Education, Edward has agreed and initiated the plan to establish at least one magic school in each major city, and the senior school that can accompany the middle mage such as the School of Magic is also planned to build two more, and this budget has also been approved in the Parliament, and this huge plan will be promoted by whoever presides over the promotion, and the management of one by one. It is time to set up a special department.

In addition to the addition of cabinet positions, personnel have also been adjusted, for example, Ludendorff of the Spencer family was adjusted to the position of Minister of the Interior, and the position of Minister of Trade was held by Solomon, Solomon finally entered the cabinet, and was a very important Minister of Commerce, but no one objected to this decision, unless Solomon could not be allowed to enter the cabinet at all, even those who did not like him must admit on the surface that he was the most suitable for this position.

The position of Minister of Education fell to Benjamin of the Disraeli family. This position was originally contested by the Byron family and the Childers family, another large family close to the royal family, but it was the Disraeli family who had the last laugh.

Solomon becomes Minister of Commerce. It is also possible to directly manage the current Ministry of Commerce, and if he thinks, it is better to have a special department responsible for managing the industry that has now sprouted.

However, even Asturias, which was the first to begin to change, mostly believed that the main role of the industry created by the study of magic was to strengthen the army.

Therefore, the cabinet was expanded without the emergence of a minister of industry, and the Solomon could at most create an industrial bureau under the current Ministry of Commerce.

For example, Reginer's Ministry of Finance used to be responsible for registering companies and businessmen and reviewing their qualifications, but in the future, the first responsibility for this was attributed to the Ministry of Commerce of the Solomons, and the Ministry of Finance would devote its main efforts to the construction of the tax system.

In addition to the Ministry of Commerce, Solomon has to hand over some new things to him, such as the Magic Research Institute, which has just started, but the council controls the main budget allocation, and the councillors are not interested in it.

Casually, Solomon's brother-in-law was still good to Solomon, because Solomon's status as the commander of the legion did not fall because he entered the cabinet, but agreed to Solomon's construction, and simply began to really recruit new soldiers in the name of this legion, and equipped it with firearms, becoming the first legion to be fully equipped with firearms.

This made Solomon surprised by the courage of the new king, first let Solomon enter the cabinet, then his legion from fiction to reality, and Tifanie's marriage, William seemed to be using great force to win over Solomon.

Although Solomon had been labeled as a royal party before, after Edward's death, how to turn Edward's Solomon into William's Solomon always needed a process.

Of course, Solomon also maintained a certain level of sobriety, and William was more of a gesture, a gesture of buying a horse's bones.

For until now, no one can deny Solomon's power. Whether it is in business or military, the latter Solomon secretly helped Rhine and Wolf repel the orc royal court, which should have been a legendary thing, as long as you know that Solomon played a role in it, you can't deny that the reason why it has not caused a sensation so far is mainly because Solomon is more obscure, whether it is the orc royal court, Aurora, Whether it is the Saxon countries, they must have guessed that Asturias played a role in it, but after all, the details are still too short to circulate, and only after a long time will more people know about the original situation.

And in Asturias, this matter is relatively low-key, it can only be purely inverted and collided with the death of Edward at the same time, although it is a legendary thing, but it is not as good as the death of the king.

So Solomon didn't even enter the cabinet when Edward died, and the commander of the legion was a virtual person, which was actually quite aggrieved.

And now that he has obtained the above benefits all of a sudden, it is not without Edward's plan before he died, and he deliberately left it to his son to show grace. Moreover, although the Minister of Trade and the Legion Commander were rare to have both, if Solomon had really devoted himself wholeheartedly to commerce and trade, and even to the industrial production he intended to foster, would he really be able to fully control the all-armed legion?

Solomon almost understood that this may not have been thought up by William, but most likely from the head of the Iron Lord, who thought that he did not have enough men to master this army, and the commanders at the grassroots level would definitely have to supplement it with the help of the Guards Legion guarding St. Quentin, so that Freyas would have the opportunity to master the backbone of it, which meant that this army was still firmly in the hands of the royal family.
