Blackstone Code Chapter 780: Lynch’s perspective
We often use "isolated events" to affirm the "purity" of a thing
It's not that the content of this incident is elegant and pure, but that there is no connection between it and other things that have happened, or have not happened yet.
And this term is more used in matters related to politics.
People often say that a certain event is an "isolated event" and has nothing to do with other events, but how many political events can be as pure as a real "isolated event"?
None!
Politics itself is driven by interests. Without the drive of interests, it is impossible to have a series of political behaviors, and this precisely explains the reason why there are no "isolated incidents" in politics.
His Excellency the Prime Minister shook hands with Lynch in public. What did it mean?
If it was the Prime Minister himself, or Lynch himself, they would probably tell others that it was just a very simple handshake, with no more complicated and deeper purpose, it could be seen as a A simple and pure thing that does not need to be interpreted arbitrarily.
But is this true?
Not long ago, the Prime Minister was thinking about taking Lynch's operation, and now he shook hands with him and chatted cordially for a few words. If there is nothing else in it, no one will believe it.
Self-conscious nobles began to interpret these manifestations, such as how did Lynch resolve this trouble?
He decided to take his group to Anmeria province for development, so the Prime Minister stopped targeting him and shook hands with him.
What does this mean?
This means there must be a lot of other behind-the-scenes deals behind this one, out of sight!
Everything related to power is followed closely, so another group of marginalized people come to interact.
These nobles, who had nowhere to grow their families on the island, began to seriously consider whether going out could solve the dilemma they are currently facing.
This is also the purpose of the Prime Minister and Lynch shaking hands, they want to persuade more people to go with Lynch to new places to develop, even between the Emperor and the Minister, there is already a new idea.
They plan to save some of the new nobles and minor nobles to Amelia, and leave the island to those big nobles, splitting the nobles into two camps...
Lynch received these nobles and chatted with them about how to get rich together. It can be seen that these nobles were very interested in Lynch's proposal, and some of them expressed their willingness to go to Amelia Province with Lynch Do field trips and try to invest locally.
Things have come to this point, and the incident caused by the round of financing has gradually subsided.
On the 29th of November, the last Sunday, rumors of the choice of the senators of the Privy Council "inadvertently" began to circulate among the aristocracy.
No one knows who first broke the news, it seemed like it popped into people's minds and all of a sudden there was a lively discussion about it.
The aristocratic group is as angry as Lynch expected. They have invested a lot of enthusiasm in the world. They were decided early without their own knowledge. They are particularly dissatisfied with this. Some of them It is believed that the old nobles of the Privy Council have sold out the interests of the aristocratic group.
The veteran aristocrats who were criticized by people did not respond to people's accusations until that night, a great nobleman expressed his attitude and their attitude in a private event.
His approach was very simple, just reiterating the rules and regulations of the Privy Council.
In this Privy Council with "seniors" as its core and "elders" as its branches, ordinary nobles do not have the right to vote at all!
No matter what they did before making the final decision on this matter, courting relationships or trading for sex, it is meaningless and worthless. They are not the masters of the Privy Council, and they cannot grasp the final advice of the Privy Council. .
As soon as this attitude was publicized, the entire Privy Council was blown up, and even affected all the imperial nobles.
The little Count is also paying attention.
In the luxuriously decorated room, Lynch crossed his legs and watched TV shows. Since the introduction of the Commonwealth's programs into Gavra, some of Gavra's TV programs are also rapidly reforming.
For example, some current affairs talk shows, although these shows did not overly praise nobles and officials before, they could maintain a neutral position, but they rarely criticized nobles.
Gavra's culture is like that, you can talk about it privately, but not overtly.
Aristocrats don't get angry just because two people meet on the street and say "the nobles are all **** sick", but if you put these things on a TV show, the host or guest will be in front of the TV. The audience in front of the plane said that "all the nobles are **** sick", and that's a big deal.
They don't tout it, and they don't demean it, so Guevra's previous political chat shows were always boring, and only occasionally watched by nobles or politicians.
This is different from the Commonwealth. The people of the Commonwealth seem to be born conspiracy theorists and fall into the darkness from birth. It is a correct political value to criticize the government, officials and even the incompetence of the president.
You have to say that officials and the government are competent and excellent, and people will doubt your purpose.
But as long as you scold the president and the federal government a few words, you can immediately find a group of good friends in some clubs such as workers' bars and some working-class clubs.
This time, they were different, they found a subject and started lashing out at him!
The show is still a little naive and is still trying to develop this genre, which is generally an effort.
Not pretty, but commendable.
The little earl who was sitting next to him tried to speak several times, but in the end he didn't speak. It was not until the end of the show that Lynch turned to look at him, "What do you want to say?"
He had already seen the interesting appearance of the little earl, he just wanted to see how long the little earl could endure, and the result was quite unexpected.
For 19-year-olds, it is the stage of proving themselves to the outside world and asserting themselves. Young people in this period rarely care about other people's opinions, they only care about "what they want to do"
It can be said that it is a kind of reversal period, and it is also the stage with the highest peak of reversal in the reversal period. It is rare that he can endure it until now.
What's more, Lynch probably guessed the question he wanted to ask, and also understood that this kind of matter related to his own interests was not so bearable.
"Mr. Lynch, the senators of the Privy Council did this...", his expression was a little sad, and he also carefully worded, "Is it... as people say, betrayed the interests of the entire aristocracy?"
People are paying attention to this right now, and so is the little earl.
As one of the nobles of the Empire, and still so young, even if the incident didn't really affect him, he would have an equally betrayed resentment.
For young people in this period, they were sometimes selfish and sometimes so broad that touching the interests of the collective could be seen as a violation of the individual.
Lynch shook his head, turned off the TV, and the former countess sitting not far away took the initiative to get up to prepare some tea and cakes for the two of them.
Lynch frowned, thought for a while, and then asked, "Tell me your opinion first."
The little earl took a deep breath, "The nobles in the Privy Council should be united, but now they are ignoring the interests of the vast majority of us and letting this rare opportunity go."
"Some people say that it may be that the Prime Minister gave the elders some benefits in exchange, so that they can't come up with a list, and some people say that it may be other transactions. In short, they betrayed the interests of all of us for their own interests!"
He was a little excited and a little angry when he said these words, but you can imagine how angry he was when he heard the news.
"What else?" Lynch asked slowly.
"Also?" The little earl was stunned for a moment, his eyes became confused for a moment, after a while, he shook his head, "I don't know, Mr. Lynch, but I think there must be something here , they must have also made a decision to hurt the nobles!"
Lynch nodded noncommittally, "Does people think so?"
The little earl said with certainty, "Yes, at least those people I know see it that way."
Lynch had a smile on his face after hearing this. He thought about it, and then laughed out loud. The little earl looked at him a little confused, he didn't think it was a funny thing.
"The leisurely life makes you forget that political struggles can never be seen on the surface..." Lynch said, pausing, and the former Countess came over with fresh tea and pastries~IndoMTL.com~ and some fruits.
Eating fruit in winter is not an easy task. The winter in Gevra is very cold, and there is no possibility for fruit trees to grow naturally in nature.
However, this problem is not a problem for the nobles. Some nobles' farms will use boilers to create a warm room that maintains a constant temperature in winter, which can also be called a sun room. fruits and vegetables.
After saying thank you, Lynch held the teacup in front of him and took an apple from the former countess's hand.
"Can I listen too?" she asked.
"Of course, it's your power." Lynch didn't object, he took a bite of the apple, sweet and crunchy.
While chewing on the fruits that ordinary people can never eat in winter, he sorted out his thoughts a little, "On the surface, the elders of the Privy Council betrayed the interests of the nobles, and they and the Prime Minister reached some agreement with us. The unknowing deal gave the Prime Minister the power he wanted."
"But actually, these elders are saving you!"
