Chapter 755 Another example

Every inch of the luxurious and exquisite room exudes the smell of money, 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 this is only here, after they leave this place where wealth is overflowing at their fingertips, when they stand outside the door and calm down in the cold wind, they will realize that some things are not what they imagined so beautiful.

Works of art are valuable, as are gold and gems, but titles of nobility are more valuable.

There are two titles in the Gefla Empire, the first is hereditary nobility.Most of these nobles are lords who have been active in Gefra during the lord melee.

They have been nobles for generations, and they are still nobles today.

The titles of these nobles are not something that His Majesty the Emperor can change at will. Only after the vote of all the nobles in the Privy Council, it is possible to change them a little bit, but it is only a little bit, not all of them.

The hereditary nobility is the root of the existence of the Privy Council, and the nobles inside are also very aware of this, and they will not allow His Majesty the Emperor to change the title of the hereditary nobility at will.

There is also a kind of nobility, which was born in the "post-Gafla period", that is, the royal family began to step onto the political stage and appeared after the integration of the entire Gafla.

During this period, the "lord" has not completely withdrawn from the stage of history, but it is almost at the end. When the emperor canonized the nobles, he no longer canonized hereditary nobles.

In essence, hereditary nobility does not have much benefit to a country.

They have 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 Gefra's domestic market to lose its competitiveness, and everyone is doing a monopoly-like business in their own territory without competition.

What is even more frightening is that these nobles will continue to exist from generation to generation, and eventually this structure will become a distorted structure.

Since then, His Majesty the Emperor has never conferred hereditary nobles, only non-hereditary nobles.

There are also two types of nobles among these nobles. One is the nobles with reduced degrees of inheritance. Every generation, the title will drop by one level. The nobles with reduced degrees of inheritance can only be canonized as earls at most.

The marquis, duke, and prince who are further up will only be blessed when the royal family is married, so as to elevate the status of the minor nobles, so that they can at least be worthy of the royal family members in appearance.

These titles, marquis, duke and even prince, are not inherited. In other words, the children of such nobles do not inherit the titles of their parents, but the princess begs the emperor to give him another favor.

This is the second type of nobility in the non-hereditary nobility. There is only one generation.

But rules are rules, and sometimes implementing them is another matter.

When the prince dies, his title will not be inherited. If the princess has a close relationship with the royal family and the emperor, then the emperor will choose one of the prince's descendants that he likes, and continue to grant her favor.

If the emperor is not very close to the princess and refuses to grant favor, then this "prince family" will die forever, and all descendants will be reduced to "ordinary people with noble blood"

In addition to these people who are married to the royal family, there are actually some people who can also receive the favor of the emperor, such as the emperor's henchmen, those jesters, and those who can make the emperor happy.

Like... Lynch.

These people are minor nobles, barons, viscounts or earls, and they will die forever, but if they have a good relationship with the emperor, when they die or die, the emperor is still in power, and they can beg the emperor to grant him another favor , it can be passed on to the next generation.

But in any case, in the eyes of the traditional "lords and nobles", these people are all minor nobles and inferior nobles. They will lose their status as nobles anytime, anywhere because the emperor doesn't like them or the emperor dies.

If these people behaved fairly well in normal times, they were not ostentatious, and they were not annoying, they could still be a rich man without being aristocratic.

If their predecessors were arrogant when they held titles, the nobles set out to deal with them when they lost their titles.

Sometimes nobles are not as beautiful as people imagined, and those who can be beautiful are only a few after all.

So when they still have some privileges, when they can be regarded as aristocratic class, they should try their best to form a group, and the Privy Council will also have the opportunity to speak out and plead for grace.

In short, if you want to get nourishment and long-term power, you must make a trade-off.

The well-groomed gentlemen and gorgeous ladies in the room gathered in the small room. The aroma in the room smelled very good, and it was all the incense of some flowers and plants, not as pungent as chemical perfume.

The men gathered together to discuss things, and it seemed that all nobles were naturally keen on various current affairs.

The ladies also gathered together, but what they discussed was more about a handsome young man in the crowd.

Some of them uttered surprising words from time to time, but everyone was not too surprised, and had 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 a need, it is good, and when there is no need, it is bad.

Lynch, who was sitting in the crowd, was not very aware that he had become a topic of discussion among the ladies. He occasionally looked at the place where the ladies gathered, and nodded with a smile, which often caused the ladies to laugh out loud.

"The Prime Minister has already got the tickets, and then he will form his own team."

What happened in the Palace of the Rulers in the morning was unsurprisingly spread out. The Palace of the Rulers and the Capitol are called "rooms without walls", which means that what happened here cannot be hidden at all.

A nobleman responded softly, "Mr. Lynch, do you think it is possible, we..." He said without continuing, looking at Lynch enthusiastically.

The others were also slightly taken aback, and their eyes also changed a bit.

The prime minister wants to form his own team, which means that if he can win the next struggle, then these people under him will get a piece of real power.

The most painful thing for nobles is to have money, status, and influence, but without any power.

They are indeed more noble than ordinary officials, but ordinary officials hold power that they cannot get, real power.

If they are 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 grasp the real power.

These little nobles are not so peaceful, and the eyes looking at Lynch are a bit "hot"

Lynch shook his head, "It's impossible."

After he finished speaking, he explained in detail, lest these idiots do some small tricks in private to destroy his plan, "First of all, the prime minister is a great nobleman, and he will only place his own people in the real core position."

"As for other less important positions, they will be handed over to the Privy Council to select talents. Last time he went around the Privy Council, it was to express his closeness to the nobles."

"If the Privy Council can stand on his side and put pressure on His Majesty for him, then he must make appropriate concessions."

"As for us, we haven't been able to get into 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 want them, and it will hurt the face of the Prime Minister. So at this time, you should 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 IQs were flawed.

The person who asked the question was a little discouraged. He nodded and closed his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the same time, someone asked a question, "Mr. Lynch, do you think the Prime Minister's struggle for power will succeed?"

This question was asked very suddenly. Whether it was the little nobles around or the ladies 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 as if it has nothing to do with the people here, but in fact it is not the case. Not only is it related, but the relationship is very close.

Lynch pursed his lips. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture to hold the glass. The 19-year-old enthusiastic little earl immediately poured a glass of wine for Lynch and handed it to Lynch. Do damage the Earl's image.

Moisturizing his throat with fragrant wine, he said with a smile, "The Prime Minister can win to a large extent..."

There were some buzzing voices in the room, and people's expressions were all kinds of strange, but they were still very satisfied with the result.

Lynch told them before that if the prime minister wins, everyone can make more money.

If the emperor can win, then everyone can almost sell it, and if they continue to hold it, there will be losses.

Judging from the results of this income alone, it is more in their interest for the prime minister to win.

The noble who raised the question went on to ask, "So are we going to side with the Prime Minister?"

The room fell silent again, and everyone looked at Lynch with bated breath. Every word he said seemed to be the truth.

He smiled and shook his head, "I haven't decided who we're on for the time being."

The noble who asked the question wanted to say something, Lynch raised his hand to stop him, "I know what you want to ask, you want to ask me, since the prime minister can win, why don't we side with the prime minister..."

The nobleman nodded, and the others were also a little curious, and they thought so too, only a few of them showed some different thinking expressions on their faces.

Lynch chuckled, "When we solve a problem, we tend to look at it as a whole."

"If the problem itself is not complicated, then there is obviously no problem in doing so, just like the simplest math problem, one plus one equals how many."

"It can be assumed that a problem is very complicated, and we look at it as a whole, which 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 isolated the shorting of the financial index. It is a very simple matter. When we are shorting, the prime minister pulls down the index. Apart from this factor, we will not refer to any other factors."

"Let's say..."
