Blackstone Code Chapter 755: Another example
Blackstone Code Text Volume 0755 Another example is that every inch of the luxurious and exquisite room exudes the smell of money. The precious artworks and gold gems can be seen everywhere, so that people who enter here will have an illusion—
Those things that can be seen everywhere are actually not very valuable!
But that's all there is to it, and when they've left this place full of wealth within easy reach, when they've calmed down in the cold wind outside the door, they'll realize that something, and Not as good as they thought.
Art is valuable, so are gold and gems, but noble titles are even more valuable.
There are two kinds of titles in the Gavra Empire, the first is hereditary nobility. Most of these nobles are lords who have been active in Gafra during the lord melee.
They were nobles for generations, and they are still nobles today.
The titles of these nobles are not something that His Majesty the Emperor can move casually. Only after the votes of all nobles in the Privy Council can they be moved slightly, but only once, not all.
Hereditary nobles are the foundation of the existence of the Privy Council, and the nobles in it are also very clear about this. They will not allow His Majesty the Emperor to arbitrarily move the titles of hereditary nobles.
There is also a kind of aristocracy, which was born in the "post-Gavra period", that is, after the royal family began to enter the political stage and unified the entire Gavra.
During this period, "lords" have not completely withdrawn from the stage of history, but it is almost at the end. When the emperor canonized nobles, he no longer canonized hereditary nobles.
A hereditary nobility is inherently of little benefit to a nation.
They hold all kinds of privileges. Just look at the capitalists. If the capitalists want to develop and grow, they cannot do without the support of the nobles.
This has also caused the domestic market of Gafra to lose its competitiveness. Everyone is doing a business similar to a monopoly without competition on their own territory.
What's even more terrifying is that these nobles will exist for generations, eventually making this structure a distorted structure.
Since then, His Majesty the Emperor has never conferred hereditary nobility, only non-hereditary nobility.
There are also two cases among these nobles. One is the aristocratic inheritance. Each generation, the title will be lowered by one grade. This type of aristocratic inheritance can only be canonized as an earl at the highest.
The marquis, dukes and princes further up will only be conferred when the royal family is married, so as to elevate the status of the minor nobles and make them at least worthy of the royal family in face.
These titles, marquis, dukes, and even princes, have no inheritance. In other words, the children of such nobles do not inherit the titles of their fathers, but the princess begs the emperor to grant him another grace.
This is also the second type of aristocracy among the non-hereditary aristocracy. There is only one generation, and when they die, when the nobles and privileges of the aristocracy are cancelled.
But rules are rules, and sometimes enforcement is another matter.
When the prince dies, his title will not be inherited. If the princess is very close to the royal family and the emperor, then the emperor will choose one of the prince's descendants who is pleasing to the eye and continue to enshrine it.
If the emperor and the princess are not very close and refuse to be enshrined, then this "Prince family" will die, and the descendants will be reduced to "ordinary people with noble blood"
In addition to these people who marry the royal family, there are actually some people who can also get the emperor's grace, such as the emperor's dog legs, those jesters, those who can make the emperor happy.
For example...Lynch.
try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){} These people are all minor nobles, barons, viscounts or earls, they also die in one life, but if they have a good relationship with the emperor, they will die by themselves When the emperor was still in power when he was dying or when he was about to die, if he could beg the emperor to grant him another favor, he would be able to continue for a generation.
But in any case, in the eyes of the traditional "lords and nobles", these people are all small nobles and inferior nobles. They will lose their noble status anytime and anywhere because the emperor does not like them, or the emperor dies .
If these people usually behave fairly well, don't show off, and don't provoke people to hate, they can still be a rich man without their aristocratic status.
If their predecessors acted arrogant when they had titles, nobles set about picking them up after they lost their titles.
Sometimes aristocrats are not as beautiful as people think. After all, there are only a few who can be beautiful.
Therefore, when they still have a little privilege, when they can be regarded as the noble class, they should try their best to form a group, and the Privy Council will also have the opportunity to ask for grace.
In short, if you want to gain moisture and power for a long time, you must make a choice.
The well-mannered gentlemen and the gorgeous ladies in the room gathered in a small room. The aroma in the room was very good. They were all incense of flowers and plants, not as pungent as chemical perfumes.
The men gather to discuss things, it seems that all nobles are naturally keen on various current affairs.
The ladies also gathered, but they were talking more about a handsome young man in the crowd.
Some of them say amazing words from time to time, but everyone is not too surprised, they have long been used to it.
It is difficult to say whether some customs are good or bad. It can only be said that when there is demand, it is good, and when there is no demand, it is bad.
Sitting in the crowd, Lynch is not too aware that he has become the topic of discussion among the ladies. He occasionally looks at the place where the ladies gather, and smiles and nods, causing the ladies to laugh out loud.
"The Prime Minister has got the ticket, and he will form his own team next."
What happened in the ruler's hall in the morning came out unsurprisingly. The ruler's hall and the parliament building are called "rooms without walls", which means that what happened here cannot be hidden at all.
A nobleman replied softly, "Mr. Lynch, do you think it's possible, we...", he said without continuing, and looked at Lynch with a keen attitude.
The others were also slightly taken aback, and their eyes changed a bit.
The prime minister wants to form his own team, which means that if he can win the next fight, then these people under him will get a real power.
The most painful thing for nobles is to have money, status, and influence, but only without any power.
They are indeed more noble than those ordinary officials, but ordinary officials have power that they can't get, real power.
If you get close to the Prime Minister at this time and become the Prime Minister's "own people", once the Prime Minister succeeds in seizing power, they will be able to hold real power.
These little aristocrats are not so calm one by one, and their eyes are a bit "hot" when they look at Lynch
Lynch shook his head, "It's impossible."
After he finished speaking, he explained it in detail, lest these idiots do some tricks in private to sabotage his plan, "First of all, the prime minister is a great noble, and he will only place his own people in the real core position."
"As for some other less important positions, they will be handed over to the Privy Council to select talents. The last time he went to the Privy Council for a circle was to express his closeness to the nobles."
try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){} "If the Privy Council can put pressure on His Majesty on his side, then he must make appropriate concessions."
"As for us, we have not yet entered the eyes of His Excellency the Prime Minister. At most, he has given us two or three secondary positions such as the deputy chief of the police station."
"These positions have no practical effect. Don't, it will hurt the Prime Minister's face, so at this time, you must be able to hold back and don't move around."
Looking at the expressions of these people, Lynch felt that they could only be minor nobles, and it was not unreasonable for them to be the poorest minor nobles. Their IQ was flawed.
The person asking the question was a little discouraged, nodded and closed his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking.
At the same time, another question was raised, "Mr. Lynch, do you think this Prime Minister's struggle for power will be successful?"
This question was asked very suddenly. Whether it was the surrounding small nobles or the ladies who were a little further away, they were all attracted by this question, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Don't look at the power struggle between the prime minister and the emperor. It seems that it has nothing to do with the people here, but in fact it is not the case. It is not only related, but also very close.
Lynch pursed his lips. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture to hold the cup. The nineteen-year-old fanatical little earl immediately poured a glass of wine for Lynch and sent it to Lynch's hand, not at all. I don't think I'm doing this to damage the count's image.
Moistening his throat with the fragrant wine, he said with a smile, "The prime minister can largely win..."
There was a little more buzz in the room, and people had mixed expressions, but they were happy with the result.
Lynch had told them before that if the Prime Minister wins, everyone will make more money.
If the emperor can win, then everyone can almost let go, and if you hold it, you will lose money~IndoMTL.com~ Just looking at this profit as the result, it is more in their interests that the prime minister can win.
The nobleman who asked the question continued, "So are we going to be on the Prime Minister's side?"
The room was quiet again, and everyone looked at Lynch with bated breath. Every word and every word he said seemed to be the truth.
He smiled and shook his head, "I haven't decided who we are on yet."
The questioning noble wanted to say something, Lynch raised his hand to stop him, "I know what you are asking, you want to ask me, since the Prime Minister can win, why don't we stand on the Prime Minister's side... …”
The nobleman nodded, and the others were also a little curious. They thought so too. Only a few of them showed some different expressions of thinking on their faces.
Lynch chuckled, "When we solve a problem, we tend to look at the problem as a whole."
"If the problem itself is not complicated, then there is obviously no problem in doing so. It is like the simplest math problem. One plus one equals how many."
"It can be assumed that a problem is very complex. If we look at it as a whole, it may make us make some mistakes in the process of dealing with it."
"We're going to take this complex issue apart."
"For example, we isolate the short financial index. It is a very simple thing. We short and the Prime Minister pulls the index down. Apart from this factor, we will not refer to any other factors." /
"For example..."
