Blackstone Code Chapter 754: Agreed

If the previous day's news made some sensitive people aware that some changes in Gavra's political landscape were about to take place, then the next morning's news confirmed it.

Because in the conflict that happened yesterday, people died.

No matter whether the emperors and ministers of Gaevra are willing to admit it, it is impossible to evade one point, that is, a certain consciousness and power at the bottom of society are awakening.

The education, the knowledge and the broadened horizons people have received have given them more and more mature ideas than before. They are no longer "fools", at least not all of them.

In the past, people's life probably consisted of receiving some seeds from the nobles during the sowing season, working in the fields during the day and working in the fields at night, trying to produce more fruits.

The former's bumper harvest allows farmers to live a comfortable life, and the latter allows them to live a comfortable life when they are old.

Other than that, they don't really have much pursuit.

But now people have more pursuits, they will be dissatisfied with the life in the past, and they want to fight for more, for example... as a human being, some of the most basic rights, their own life, their own of private property.

This is also the reason why Gefra also has courts and laws. In the past, there were no such things. Laws and courts only appeared after the country was unified.

The importance of the law is self-evident. Someone died in the repression, which means that it has risen to a certain extent, and more importantly, this matter is not simple.

It's not an ordinary conflict that results in someone dying, it's a matter between the commoners and the aristocracy, and it's inherently tricky.

In the Palace of the Rulers, His Majesty the Emperor has no expression, and expressionless expression is not enough to describe his expressionless face, and numbness may be more suitable.

It's as if every muscle has lost its strength, maintaining its original, unaltered form.

"I heard that some people have petitioned outside the palace."

The monarch and his ministers had been sitting face to face for several minutes. After a few dull minutes, His Majesty the Emperor asked.

This is what the royal family chief told him. There were already some people standing outside the palace holding signs to petition early in the morning.

It's just a petition, not a demonstration. They hope that His Majesty the Emperor can intervene in this matter, first to find out the policeman who made the murder, then to try him fairly and justly, and then to find out the problems of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his subordinates, and to chase after him. Refund the funds involved in this fraud case and return as much as possible to those victims.

People lost their way and could only pray that the emperor was still on their side.

But they seem to have made a mistake. The royal family has never sided with the commoners. They only care about themselves, not the so-called commoners.

The reason for this wrong perception is actually a political need in another form. For example, His Majesty the Emperor does not want to be reported by foreign countries, and he is laughed at by foreigners.

For example, there are times when he has to maintain the good name of the royal family and take the initiative to do trivial things - there is actually a disagreement here.

His Majesty the Emperor will deal with some trivial matters because these trivial matters will not cause subsequent political stance issues and political conflicts.

No aristocrat would object because "His Majesty the Emperor helped an old grandma solve the problem of a leaking house", or cause a new round of political unrest, they would not care about such a small matter.

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){} Because small things do or don't have uncontrolled consequences, the emperor sometimes does a little for certain needs no big deal.

But in the eyes of the people, His Majesty the Emperor can even take care of such small things as "the old grandma's house leaking water", so he will definitely take care of bigger things.

The reason why he doesn't care now is not because he doesn't want to do it, but because he doesn't know it, so everyone should petition.

Sometimes ideals are really beautiful, people don't want to believe that reality is not real nonsense, but they can't accept it.

The atmosphere in the ruler's hall became a little depressed again. When the ministers came, they saw the petitioners and the signs they held high in their hands.

But obviously, the emperor can't do this, at least not now.

Obviously no one spoke, obviously they didn't do anything, but His Majesty the Emperor sitting on the steps could perceive a very special atmosphere in the ruler's hall today, as if there was something invisible in these ministers rapid flow between.

He looked at these people, not rushing, not impatient, just watching.

The ministers continued to sit as if they didn't hear it, this is not the time for them to come out.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is gathering people to discuss what to do next, the Prime Minister is gathering people to discuss what to do next, and the other ministers are not idle.

In any case, they are more inclined to let the Prime Minister hold the financial power.

This is not to say that they are all supporters of the Prime Minister, it is just that a Prime Minister who can compete with the Emperor is clearly superior to a powerful Emperor, and now His Majesty the Emperor has ascended the throne by killing his brothers and sisters, and is born with a tyrant Factor, let him have all the power, that is the worst situation.

The dull atmosphere continued, and about seven or eight minutes after His Majesty the Emperor asked that question, the Chancellor of the Exchequer spoke.

"Your Majesty, these matters are all because of me. I have decided to resign from the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer and accept the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..." He said, took out a letter of resignation and handed it over to the chief executive who came. , which will be handed over to His Majesty the Emperor by the General Manager.

The surrounding ministers were a little surprised, and some nodded slightly. They saw the Minister of Finance's plan.

As expected, the Chancellor of the Exchequer continued, "I know there are some problems in my own job, but this job is very important. Before I dismiss my post, I recommend that Your Excellency the Prime Minister temporarily take over the financial work."

His Majesty the Emperor took the resignation letter from the Chancellor of the Exchequer and looked at it. He didn't even look up at the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as if he didn't hear what he said.

Others, whether political enemies or close friends of the Chancellor, applaud his strategy.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer did not seem to have any intention of stopping, and continued, "Gavra has always been the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer when necessary. It is not a precedent for the Prime Minister to do my job, and it is more convenient for the Prime Minister's work. At the same time, it is easier to carry out the work of prosecuting me personally, I urge Your Majesty to allow me to resign."

He didn't say how much credit and hard work he had for the country, didn't say how important his work was, didn't say how important he was, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he gave His Majesty the Emperor an impossible choice.

The Prime Minister sat on the side with a sneer on his face. After all, he was someone who was greedy for power. This sneer quickly subsided and became normal.

"It's written like shit..." His Majesty the Emperor expressionlessly tore his resignation letter in half and threw it on the ground.

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){} He gave the chancellor a sidelong glance, knowing that this was his way of protecting himself, but he was also a little unhappy, "Your responsibility should be yours. It's easy for you to resign, and I'll allow you to resign when the mess is cleaned up."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer glanced at the resignation letter torn in half on the ground, knowing that it was just a scene from His Majesty the Emperor.

Even the resignation letter has been torn up. If he wants to resign, he will write another one, but if things really settle down, how can he be stupid and write another resignation letter?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer sighed, and he looked at the others, "Your Majesty, some people have gathered outside the palace to petition, requesting to suspend my work and review me, I will take my responsibility, and at the same time I also hope that you will agree to their request."

"Two things, don't interfere with each other, I continue to do my job, and those who investigate me continue to investigate me."

He said, bowing his head slightly, indicating that he was finished.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the Prime Minister who was still a mascot and pretended to be innocent, and asked with a half-smile, "Let's leave this to the Prime Minister."

The Prime Minister frowned slightly. In fact, this matter should be handed over to the Minister of Defense or the Minister of War. They all have relevant security departments to investigate these matters, rather than handing him over to an empty Prime Minister.

Everyone knows that he has no one under his command, the Prime Minister has no financial power, and other ministers and institutions can ignore him because he can't restrain other people's necks.

It's definitely not an easy thing to ask him to investigate everyone's money bags~IndoMTL.com~ There are too many interests involved.

The people above can still guarantee their position, but the middle and lower levels will have some ideas.

I can't find anything, the Prime Minister's authority has been lost, and the emperor has given him power but he can't do it well. It can only show that he is indeed suitable to be a mascot.

As for the serious investigation, he has no one under him. He needs to second people from other departments. It is difficult to say whether the people in these departments and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as well as those under his command, have any interests.

Besides, these seconded people belong to a third-party force that has not yet joined the battlefield, and their bosses will tell them that they are not doing enough work, and it will be difficult to find out at that time.

In this way, the time will be dragged on, which is equivalent to giving the Chancellor of the Exchequer a lot of time.

This is the drawback of the Prime Minister's lack of financial power. No one can ignore him.

The Prime Minister quickly raised his brows. Sometimes the political game was just a few words. He pursed his lips, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.

"I will be responsible for this matter." Surprisingly, and reasonable, he agreed.

Actually, it’s not okay if you don’t agree. If you agree, you still have a little initiative. If you don’t agree, you can only participate in the game outside the game, and you will lose some opportunities.

Now they compare, who has more people and who has more supporters.

If he doesn't call other ministers, he sets up a new department to investigate these matters. As long as he can find those capable people to do it and investigate the chancellor thoroughly, he will win the game.

Of course, the Gavra financial index, which should fall, must still fall.
