Blackstone Code Chapter 1241: 1 gust
After breakfast, the two went to the Privy Council together.
The Privy Council and the Royal Palace are a block away.
Not the distance between the left side of the road and the right side of the road, but the distance between one end of the road and the other.
It is said that Emperor Gefra I has always been wary of the nobles. It may be that he himself knew that the establishment of the royal family from the seizure of power would cause the dissatisfaction of the nobles. In short, these two places are a little far away.
It was almost ten o'clock when Lynch arrived at the Privy Council, which was not too late.
The Gefra people are used to having breakfast at nine o'clock. Their noon actually refers to the time period from 1 to 2 o'clock, not the time period from 11 o'clock to 12 o'clock. About nine points in the Commonwealth.
The Privy Council is very big, and it's not the first time Lynch has come here, but this time it's much more lively than the last time.
When there was still a distance from the parking lot, both sides of the road were already full of cars, and many nobles were walking towards the main building of the Privy Council.
The little Count's car went directly into the parking lot of the Privy Council. The parking spaces outside were already full, but there were still some vacancies here.
But no one will park indiscriminately, every vacant seat has a master, and the earl and below do not have the right to park in it.
The car stopped, and the two got out of the car. Someone noticed this, but they just nodded and had no intention of coming over to say hello.
These are all etiquette, and the nobles pay great attention to etiquette.
"It seems that you are no different from before." Lynch stood by the car and joked casually.
The little earl was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "I don't understand?"
Lynch looked around, "Look, no one came to stand with us, you are still the same as before, excluded by mainstream groups."
The little earl smiled, a very indifferent smile. He took the lead and walked towards the building, and while walking, he said indifferently, "They look down on us, just as we look down on them, it's nothing, I'm used to it."
Before this, these new-generation nobles were actually very unpopular with the Privy Council nobles, and many of these new-generation nobles were "dead in one lifetime".
Their titles do not have the right to inherit, or they are just barons and viscounts, they can only be passed down to one or two generations, and they will become commoners again.
The hereditary nobles in the Privy Council, or nobles who have the means to maintain their status as nobles all the time, disdain these "temporary nobles", they feel that these people are not real nobles at all, and even live with them Shame on the room.
They don't have much sense of presence in the Privy Council. Often when nobles chat, these people either don't come, or they can only sit in the corner when they come.
They don't speak the whole time, and even if they want to say something, others will ignore them, and they won't be quiet to listen to them.
Lynch is also a minor noble, an imperial baron, and it seems unlikely that His Majesty the Emperor will give his descendants a chance to inherit the title, a typical "death in one lifetime".
With Lynch's help, these new generation of nobles quickly gained a firm foothold in the Ameria region, and they are now rich and have some power.
Others look down on them, why do they look down on others?
The two entered the Privy Council. The council hall of the Privy Council is in the center of the entire building, which is very grand.
At this time, aristocrats of all sizes have gathered here. As the struggle between the noble group and the royal family has heated up, the nobles scattered all over the empire have recently returned to the imperial capital.
They gather here every day to share or discuss some issues. When there is a discussion, there will be as many people as they are today.
"Our position is there...", the little earl pursed his lips and led Lynch to a corner, where the little nobles who participated in the welcome ball yesterday had gathered there.
When they saw Lynch coming, they all stood up to greet him to show their respect for Lynch.
After shaking hands with everyone, Lynch sat down with the little earl, and the nobles around them used their status and strength as their ranking method, surrounding them layer by layer.
In the entire Privy Council, these people are only a small number, maybe even less than 5%, which shows how many nobles Gaevra has enshrined in the entire history.
The nobility has also become an obstacle to the development of this country!
"There is something wrong with the atmosphere today...", a nobleman sitting beside the two conveyed a message in a low voice, "Last night it was said that the secret police had been dispatched, and some people couldn't come in the morning."
Lynch was a little surprised, as was the little Earl.
Lynch and the former Countess hadn't seen each other for a while after the ball last night. The two chatted about future political changes and how the little Count would deal with himself.
The little Earl fooled around with the two girls until dawn. He was young, younger than Lynch, and he was not only a nobleman but also held a lot of wealth.
A wish that is difficult for many people to achieve, like sleeping with those beautiful girls without taking any responsibility, is as easy for him as the cook asking him what he wants for dinner.
It also made him fool around with different girls all this time, and the former Countess also talked to Lynch about it, and she was a little concerned.
Her husband was always thin because he often fooled around with women.
She doesn't want the little earl to follow the same path. Now, only Lynch can persuade the little earl.
Both of them spend the night doing very focused things, ignoring what's going on outside.
Lynch frowned, "Do you know how many of those nobles were arrested for what reason?"
"Or are they just restricted?"
The nobles have their own laws and courts, and everyone has been avoiding these issues, trying to make the commoners think the country is fair.
Whenever a nobleman commits a crime, they are first tried in the noble court, and then the Privy Council gives the final ruling, and then it is their turn to receive a legal "fair" trial in the ordinary court.
All the nobles who were tried in court were actually abandoned by the noble group long ago.
Those nobles who have not been abandoned by the noble group are also unlikely to appear in ordinary courts, let alone be tried and sentenced!
Although the secret police have great power, they also have many restrictions. Lynch doesn't know much about these things, so that's why he asks this question.
The little earl frowned and glanced at the big nobles sitting in the most central place, his face was very ugly, as if he had turned into a horse face.
When his uncles and aunts competed with him for the title, the big nobles did not cause less trouble.
Obviously it was a family matter, and he was taken to the Privy Council. If it weren't for his luck, and the emperor's firm grasp of power at that time, his right of inheritance would have been deprived by the Privy Council.
Someone then explained to Lynch that the secret police can only ask the nobles to cooperate. In the end, whether these nobles are guilty or not, the Privy Council has the final say.
The little earl glanced at Lynch, and the two looked at each other, almost already knowing.
At ten forty-five, someone rang the golden bell, and a heavy voice sounded, which instantly drowned out the discussions of the nobles.
In the most central seat, there are seven nobles, and these seven are the nobles with the highest status in the Privy Council.
There isn't a single Imperial Minister here, and the Imperial Minister and the Privy Council are always at odds, at least in the past.
Loyalty to the emperor or to the nobility is a choice.
Loyal to the emperor to gain power, they may serve in various confidential departments.
Loyal to the nobles...probably can only be a noble noble.
"If you hadn't dozed off on a woman's belly last night, you should have known that some people were under control."
The duke sitting in the middle looked at the others. He was thin, but gave a very "majestic" feeling. When looking at him, most nobles would look away.
His eyes wandered halfway through the hall, stopping for a moment in the corner on Lynch's side.
The two looked at each other for about two or three seconds before His Excellency the Duke looked away.
After he looked around, he continued, "We caught a group of spies a few days ago. After interrogation, we found that some people betrayed the interests of the country for a little personal gain."
"We found some of them, if any of you don't know who they are, look around you ~IndoMTL.com~ for some missing people."
"This is not the end, but the beginning."
"We will continue the trial, and I also want to know how many people enjoy the privileges and conveniences that the Empire bestows on them, but they are doing the ugly business of betraying the Empire!"
"Remember, this is definitely not the end, and it won't be that simple, we'll be sure to dig everyone out!"
His Excellency the Duke said and paused for a moment, his emotions seemed a little excited.
After he calmed down, his tone became soothing, "Recently, you have all stayed in the imperial capital, whoever leaves will be arrested!"
He said, looking in the direction of Lynch, "Baron Lynch, you too!"
"If you don't have a place to live here, we can help you with accommodation!"
Lynch stood up and bowed slightly. He was only a baron, and he was facing a hereditary duke. He had to show his respect, "Your Excellency, I have a place to rest."
"I was also very angry when I heard the news. Everyone has the same attitude towards traitors. If there is a need for me, I will try my best to cooperate."
His Excellency the Duke smiled a little more, but it quickly subsided.
Lynch's "cooperation" satisfied him, he was a man of interest.
He continued, "I have a proposal here that needs to be discussed..."
Speaking of which, he opened the portfolio in his hand and took out the documents, "...the motion on impeachment of the First Prince!"
