Blackstone Code Chapter 1153: Before the storm
Lynch didn't believe that Mr. Trueman didn't know what was going on, and considering that it was in an unclassified public setting, he shook his head, "Hopefully God bless Gavra and everything will pass."
Mr. Truman smiled and nodded, "Yes, no matter what kind of disaster, there will be a day in the past."
Not long after, the owner of the restaurant brought food for the two of them.
Beef rib is a boneless pork rib, a large piece, weighing about a pound, and its deboning marks can be clearly seen.
The fascia used to tightly wrap the bones has not completely atrophied, and there is a certain space in the middle, which should be the bones that have just come off.
There is also a pork sausage on the top of the plate, about one-half pound. If you dine in this ordinary roadside restaurant, if the meal cost is not low, then the boss better give more.
Ordinary people have only two demands to eat, either cheap or enough to eat.
This is the kind that can be full, not cheap, but if you can eat meat, this kind of restaurant is also very marketable, especially for those who work in the labor force.
They need a good meal once in a while!
Ordinary sauces are paired with ordinary vegetables, and an ordinary but very solid pork sausage. The two of them don't seem to think that these ingredients are inferior at all, and they are delicious to eat.
On the other side of the strait, His Majesty the Emperor of Gevra is standing by the window looking at the stars.
The weather is good today, and the sky is full of stars at night. It is like a curtain in an opera house. After this darkness, there is something bright shining on it, so that those little lights can make people feel Feel your own insignificance.
It was a good night, the wind was mild, and the temperature was right, but the emperor of Gafra didn't seem to feel the slightest comfort because of it.
His face is ugly, and his eldest and second sons are standing not far behind him.
He still has a daughter, but he didn't come. After he killed the brothers and sisters who were a threat to him, he understood a truth.
Being emperor, you don't need to have too many children, and you don't need to give those hopeless people a little hope, it won't make them motivated, it will only destroy them.
So there are only two of his sons in the room, but among those two sons, there is one more idiot.
The eldest prince looked at his younger brother with some worry, and there was some dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Just now, the second prince actually stated that he believes that the withdrawal of the royal family from the core of power is the inevitable direction of social development.
This completely angered His Majesty the Emperor, and those ministers who betrayed him did not make him so angry and dissatisfied.
He knows that the royal family and the aristocratic group will never stand together, so whether the prime minister or other ministers, their seizure of power is an inevitable process of the alternate development of the Gefra political system.
The royal family held power for a while, and then the ministers held power for a while.
Only this time, the Prime Minister seemed to want to flip the table, and he actually came up with an idea - a constitutional monarchy.
Let the royals give up enough power to become a mascot.
The reason is that the dictatorial regime has been unable to keep up with the rapid development of the international community. In order to meet such rapid development, the backward system such as the monarchy must be eliminated.
During the confrontation between the two sides, I didn't expect that my second son would also stand in the noble camp.
His Majesty the Emperor turned around and looked at the Second Prince, "I asked you to go to the Royal Academy in order to make more friends, outstanding talents, and top scientists in the society."
"These people can help you in all kinds of ways in your future life journey, but I'm definitely not asking you to oppose me."
He looked at the chief executive of the royal family, which was also his own form, "Take this **** down, don't let him come out without my consent..."
The manager bowed slightly and walked to the second prince's side, "Please come with me..."
There is a place for people to be placed under house arrest in the palace. Gafra's royal infighting has almost never stopped. The previous emperors built many rooms with special functions, which were used for confinement, punishment or even abuse. their former competitors.
On the way to the confinement room, the second prince was walking and suddenly asked, "Uncle, do you think I'm wrong?"
He confronted his father just now, and His Majesty the Emperor spoke out about the disadvantages of the monarchy, and the advantages of a constitutional monarchy.
They can guarantee the uniqueness of the royal family to the greatest extent, and hold some amendment powers, such as the power to deny and impeach the Prime Minister.
It may seem that more power is in the hands of the aristocracy, in the hands of the royal family, but that's not quite the case.
The royal family still wields considerable power and is not responsible for the failure of any policy, they just enjoy the results.
If someone wants to go into politics, they can do so through elections.
The way the federal Congress and the president play has made this remote place, once only indigenous and exiles, now a force that can be opposed to Gafra.
This further shows that the monarch... or dictatorship, has no market.
No one can be omnipotent and omnipotent, even God may not be able to do it. In this case, concentrating power on one person is the greatest dereliction of duty for all citizens!
So the second prince clearly knew that he was also a beneficiary of imperial power, but he still stood on the side of the noble group.
He didn't want to betray and overthrow his father, he just wanted the country to be strong.
The manager walked slowly, without speaking, the corridor leading to the confinement room became more and more depressing, and the second prince was a little desperate.
Once he's in solitary confinement, it means...it may be difficult for him to leave, he knows what his father's character is, and he won't admit his failure until the last minute.
Seeing that the confinement room was in front of him, the director suddenly stopped, he turned to look at the second prince, "I support your statement very much, if a civil war breaks out between the noble group and the royal family, maybe... we will lose everything. "
"I will tell Your Majesty that you have been locked up..."
The second prince looked at his uncle, the head of the royal family with some confusion, the latter said with a smile, "Do what you want, here I will help you hide it first, don't expose yourself too early ."
The second prince's despairing heart was instantly illuminated by light. He nodded vigorously, hesitated for a while, and then held the hand of the general manager with both hands and said sincerely, "Thank you!"
Afterwards, he left without looking back.
After watching the second prince leave, the director returned to the study. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor was discussing with the first prince to strengthen the security force of the palace and mobilize some elite guards of the royal family.
His Majesty the Emperor saw the Director, and the eyes of the two exchanged in a very short moment, probably like-
"Done?"
"Done!"
Simple like this, His Majesty the Emperor bowed his head and continued to deal with the work in his hands, as a dictator, an emperor who killed all his brothers and sisters who threatened him, and ascended the throne as a "bastard".
His control over the royal family and the palace far exceeds that of any imperial emperor, so there is no such thing as a "defection" event that he did not instruct.
To put it more clearly, he asked the chief to let the second prince go.
As an emperor, a politician, he is well aware of the value of giving himself a way back.
Compared to the second prince's slightly "naive" idea, the eldest prince stood very firmly on His Majesty's side.
The emperor doesn't have many children, he's not like his stallion father, who grabs a girl in the court casually, whether it's a maid or a servant who can pull off each other's pants and carry out the great cause of the race.
Of course, he would also like to thank his stallion father. It was his stallion behavior at no time and no occasion that made him the emperor he is now.
His Majesty the Emperor hates the feeling of brothers and sisters fighting each other, and he knows that as far as an emperor is concerned, he is not the best.
He has not received the most professional emperor education. His pure blood brothers can always accompany his father, watching the old emperor handle various government affairs, and even make some decisions on his behalf.
He can't, he's a bastard, and he lacks a strong kin, aside from his impure blood.
Unlike His Royal Highness the Third Prince who put the most pressure on him, his mother is the daughter of a certain Grand Duke of Gafra, and even if he cannot inherit the throne here, he can go back to inherit the duchy.
At the same time, the principality was his aid in his struggle for the throne.
The current emperor has nothing, he takes every step carefully, he is an excellent executioner, on a stormy night, with a few loyal people, he attacked and killed all those who were loyal to him. Threatening siblings.
In a sense, he is a qualified emperor, at least he is a capable and courageous emperor.
He wanted his children not to be so stupid fighting each other~IndoMTL.com~ So he restrained his desire and only had so many children.
At this time, he was thinking about some of the next countermeasures. The phone in the room rang, he walked to the side to pick it up, and the manager took the initiative to stand in another corner of the room to ensure that he would not accidentally overheard something.
After a while, His Majesty the Emperor returned to the table expressionlessly and continued to study some countermeasures with his eldest prince.
This call was not just to His Majesty the Emperor, but also to the Prime Minister.
He's been sleeping for a while, and it's hard to stay up late when you're older.
It's not that they can't get up, they can go to bed later, but as long as it's a little later, there is a high possibility of insomnia.
He has a lot of complicated work every day, he can't sleep too late or even not sleep, he has to be responsible for his work.
At this time, the phone ringing woke him up. He opened his eyes and lay down for more than ten seconds before he put the pillow behind his waist, sat down, and answered the phone.
