"Oh, no, Your Majesty the Great Emperor, you can't do this, those galaxies are all fiefdoms of our family, and now for the safety of the empire, they will be handed over to other civilizations without our consent, and no compensation will be given, which is not in line with the procedures of the imperial law at all!"

"Yes, those galaxies are related to the development of too many industries of our family, and it would be too unreasonable for the empire to directly decide on them without giving any compensation!"

"Without the supply of resources from those galaxies, in the next hundred years, our family's power in the empire will suffer a great blow, and His Majesty the Emperor is clearly generous to us and accomplishes his own merits......"

"We're going to object! Our family must not lose their fiefdom! ”

"The fiefdoms of the nobility have been the sacred and inviolable private property of the empire since ancient times, and we must not let our precious property be misappropriated by others for the slightest threat!"

"Against, against, against!!"

……

Any force that forms a considerable scale will slowly acquire a certain degree of complexity over time.

As an aerospace civilization that has developed for hundreds of years, the Danube Empire relies on maintaining the balance between imperial power and aristocratic power to maintain the stability of its interstellar power, and its internal forces also have quite complex relationships.

In peacetime and most of the time, the interests of the nobles and the emperor were identical, so they were able to unite and cooperate with each other in an active and sincere manner, and to reap the benefits of the whole civilization outwardly.

But this does not mean that the relationship between the two will always be free of contradictions.

Whenever it comes to obtaining benefits and safeguarding interests, the two will inevitably advance and retreat together, but whenever it comes time to distribute benefits, both will show their ugly side.

At present, for the survival of the entire empire, the emperor of the Danube Empire took the initiative to make a deal with several aerospace civilizations under the command of the righteous order, and agreed to return several galaxies that had been invaded by the empire, which undoubtedly violated the interests of the entire elite class.

Because since those galaxies were invaded by the Danube Empire, they have long been divided within their civilization and have become the private fiefs of several powerful families.

The galaxies that existed as the private fiefdoms of the nobles were like public properties contracted out within the Danube Empire, and the powerful families were responsible for their own operation and development, and the final profits needed to be handed over to the imperial government for a certain percentage.

Although the final income of a galaxy is bound to be a lot by the imperial government, the last part that remains still brings a lot of benefits and sweetness to the powerful families in charge of the relevant galaxy.

Under this model, the imperial government led by the Danube Emperor was able to coexist with the elite and rely on each other.

Now that the Emperor casually said that the galaxies that were controlled by the families behind these magnates and listed as their private fiefs had been handed over to their former enemies, of course the magnates could not bear it.

Those galaxies have been operated and developed by their family for hundreds of years, and it has cost their family a lot of material and human resources to build, if they are so easily given away by the emperor as a dowry, then what will become of these powerful people and the family behind them?

Tool man?

When you use it, you use it, and after you use it, you have to cut it off as a leek?

Hehe, if the emperor wants to cut them off as leeks, then he has to see if the other party's knife can be sharp enough to cut off these powerful people who have taken root in the empire.

In the face of the opposition of the magnates, the emperor of the Danube Empire was full of gloom, and he couldn't help but scold in the emperor's office:

"A bunch of brainless idiots!"

He frowned, naturally understanding the reason why these magnates were against this deal.

Although the magnates are well aware of the threat posed to the Empire by the Ghost Ship Incident, which cannot be properly addressed by their own civilizational strength now.

Now there is a chance to turn to the civilizations of the righteous order, and it is worth paying the price of only a few galaxies to have a chance to save the future of civilization.

This is a long-term interest consideration, and it is understandable that everyone in the entire empire sacrifices some interests for the sake of the future of the entire civilization.

After all, the loss of those galaxies is not only the loss of these magnates, but the loss is even more, but the imperial government led by him, the emperor!

But the reality is that if there is no way to deal with the threat of the ghost ship incident, all the powerful will live in anxiety and fear.

But once such a solution to the threat with a high probability of success appears, those powerful people who are relieved will be extremely shrewd and begin to calculate their gains and losses in this incident.

In the final calculation results, they think that they have suffered a loss and their interests have been damaged, and they will naturally think about making up for what they have lost.

The emperor of the Danube Empire had a headache to think that those powerful people were clamoring to oppose the deal he initiated, but in the final analysis, they were not really opposed, but hoped to gain some benefits by opposing the attitude.

The magnates wanted to make him, the emperor, compromise, and then use this compromise to gain benefits from within the imperial government.

However, the time was now at stake, and the emperor of the Danube had to compromise with this pressure from the magnates.

Secretly making a statement to the vampire-like magnates, the Emperor relaxed some of the harsh requirements that the Imperial Government had previously imposed on these elites, and relinquished some of the interests that had previously been in the hands of the Imperial Family.

Sure enough, after receiving enough benefits, the elites obviously had a better attitude towards the matter, but they still chose to be conservative.

After secretly greeting the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of those insatiable magnates, the emperor of the Danube Empire was able to eliminate the opposition of the magnates and obtain their support in this transaction.

"Damn, insatiable bunch of worms!" The Emperor cursed.

This time, in the distribution of interests within the empire, he can be said to have suffered a heavy loss as emperor.

And those so-called magnates actually committed such blackmail at such a critical moment that would endanger the life and death of the entire civilization, and he, as the emperor, was not surprised at all, but accepted all this quite helplessly.

There is no way, he must accept it, and he must make compromises with those magnates, otherwise if the empire that loses the opportunity to contact angels from those space civilizations under the command of the righteous order, if it really suffers the revenge of the civilization behind the ghost ship, then the most heavy loss must not be those magnates, but he, the emperor!
