After walking around the Privy Council, the prime minister entered the more inner conference room.
Since the Privy Council is an administrative body, there must be a distinction between superior and subordinate.
In the past, when the Privy Council could still perform its duties, the highest power of the Privy Council was called the "elder".
The Privy Council was also known as the "Senate" for some time, implying that this institution is the territory of the "elders", and everything should listen to them.
Under the elders, there are "elders". The way to distinguish between elders and elders is very simple. That meeting is not like now. Nobles pay special attention to their appearance.
At that time, the nobles were still popular to wear linen robes, so the elders' robes would have golden barley ears and the elders' robes would have silver wheat ears, so as to distinguish the status of the two.
The rest are ordinary nobles. They also wear robes, but the robes only have family emblem and no ears of wheat.
Later, the power of the Privy Council was gradually abandoned, and the elders began to put down their airs and want to unite all the nobles. Unfortunately, the changes in the political system and the transfer of power made it meaningless for them to do so.
The conference room here is for the elders and elders. As for the nobles in the hall outside, they are not allowed to enter here without permission.
The prime minister is not a member of the Privy Council, but he can come in directly without the permission of others. This is the characteristic of power and can ignore most rules.
After the people sat down separately, the prime minister looked at the big nobles around him, and his smile was very vivid. "Have you come to a conclusion that who should be the chancellor of the exchequer these days?"
The great nobles sitting around the conference table made a simple communication with their eyes. The great nobles sitting in the first seat coughed a little and attracted everyone's attention.
"Mr. prime minister, we have been discussing this issue for a long time, but after all, it involves an important position, and we don't have enough time, so..."
The prime minister shook his head and said, "so there is no result, is there?"
The nobles around nodded one after another, and some of them explained, "there are too many excellent people. It is difficult for us to make a choice. There is only one position. If we choose this, we won't care about that."
"At that time, some people will quarrel about it, and even doubt whether our election is fair and just. You know, those who lose will always have many reasons."
After hearing this, the prime minister did not deny that it was like a gambler. Anything could be a reason for them to lose money.
Today, I was unlucky. I didn't wash my hands after going to the toilet. I was facing the window or my back to the window. Who borrowed money from me and didn't pay it back
Those gamblers can easily find dozens or hundreds of reasons to be responsible for the money they lose, and the aristocrats who lose the election are the same. They come casually, such as what kind of secret operation, and don't even need to consider it.
Therefore, it will take a long time to select this candidate.
The prime minister frowned. "What we lack most now is time. It is impossible to leave the position of Chancellor of the exchequer vacant until you choose someone to arrange work. This will delay us a lot of things."
"This is not any other position. It is related to the planning and allocation of the entire national budget. There is no way to give you so much time."
"Before the end of the month, you must choose a candidate."
At this time, one of the nobles suddenly reminded, "Your Excellency prime minister, it's the end of the month."
"It's the end of the month?", the prime minister looked suddenly for a moment. He looked down at his watch with a small window of the calendar on it.
Now such watches with calendars are very popular. Only a few companies master the key technologies, and it is difficult to find a watch on the market.
He looked at the calendar and sighed, "it's really the end of the month. I don't even feel it!"
He said and shook his head. "I'm too busy these days. I have too many things to deal with. I really miss the quiet days before."
"Although boring, there is a lot of personal time."
The nobles in the room just smiled and didn't take it seriously. It's just like what they are discussing now. It doesn't mean that the content of the discussion has any direct relationship with the result of the matter.
"I'm really nervous in a few days. Why don't you try?" the prime minister asked again.
It seems that he is indeed asking about it, but in fact everyone knows what he is asking and how to answer.
"Your Excellency, although the Privy Council is jokingly called a nursing home, it does not mean that we have no sense of responsibility. We can't choose a suitable candidate in a short time. It's better to..."
The chief nobleman looked at the nobles around him and whispered, "you should take up the post first."
The prime minister was a little stunned. He looked at the nobles in front of him and shook his head with a bitter smile. "It's no good. I proposed with your majesty that I should take a part-time job first, but... He refused."
The chief nobleman smiled and said, "this time we will personally talk to your majesty about it. Your Majesty must agree."
The prime minister was moved and hesitated, "but those people outside..."
The chief nobleman raised his hand and pressed falsely, "competing for power and power is never as important as the stability of the Empire!"
This is actually a process. As Lynch and others said, from the beginning, the emperor did not want to fight with the prime minister to the end. He gave in from the beginning.
But this kind of concession did not let everything out, and the prime minister did not pay anything.
If their current conversation leaked out, most of the nobles outside would be angry.
During this time, they have solicited relations everywhere, held various secret meetings and operated everywhere for that position.
If you can't get that position, you should be able to grasp some benefits.
But what I didn't expect is that the great nobles in the Privy Council sold them out as soon as they turned around and helped the prime minister get the financial power. Bai was happy and lost some things. If the emperor released appropriate goodwill at this time, some of these nobles would turn to the emperor without hesitation.
In other words, the prime minister actually pushed a part of the aristocratic group to turn to the emperor as a price to obtain the opportunity to hold concurrent financial power and realize his power.
Did the emperor lose money?
It seems, but not exactly.
Although he lost his financial power, now the development plan of the whole country is there, and the prime minister can't violate it at will, and everyone is consistent in the general direction, all for the sake of this country.
The power in the hands of the emperor was reduced, but in exchange for the support of a large number of nobles, who will become the cards he will grasp again next time.
You know, the prime minister is very old. No one knows how many years he can sit in this position.
Three or five years, ten years at most!
Ten years later, a new war is bound to break out, which will affect the whole world. At that time, how can the prime minister, whose physical strength, energy and mental strength have begun to decline, continue to stay in this position?
As long as he steps down and has the support of the aristocratic group, his majesty will have the opportunity and possibility of dictatorship to a certain extent. As long as enough aristocrats support him, he can even hold the post of prime minister and finance minister when the war breaks out!
Coupled with the imperial franchise, his control over military power, administration, finance, military and politics, and a high degree of unity, an authoritarian emperor will be born!
Even if those nobles do not support him to realize his dictatorship dream, he at least has the opportunity to regain financial power. As long as financial power is in hand, even if the candidate for prime minister compromises, he is still in power.
With the present opportunity in exchange for the infinite possibility of the future, the emperor did not suffer a loss in this deal.
The prime minister knows the emperor's plan very well, but he doesn't mind. He even cooperates very well. They are gambling on who will show his flaws first!
The contents of the conference room have not been disclosed for a short time, but it has not been disclosed for long.
After three days, that is, when the court meeting next Monday, it will be known all over the country!
At that time, a big play will be staged, and the "victim" of the emperor will begin to attract those angry nobles to stand on his side.
Of course, the Privy Council will unite the nobles as much as possible. They can't let all the nobles fall to the emperor. That's irresponsible.
The prime minister stayed in the Privy Council for less than an hour and left. Not long after he left, some gossip flowed into the Privy Council from the outside.
People don't know where to get some information, something related to Lynch.
They heard that Lynch planned to take the money they made to the province of ammeria for development, and His Majesty gave them some preferential policies.
If this news is put on someone else, it is just an ordinary news, but if it happens to Lynch, it must attract people's attention.
You know, not long ago, Lynch took the group of waste nobles around him to devour hundreds of millions of dividends in the financial market. Now he thinks that the eyes of other nobles are still a little red.
Those big nobles may not care, but not all nobles are so rich. There will always be some nobles who only have the face of the nobles and don't have much money.
Just as everyone was leaving for lunch, several nobles found Lynch.
"Mr. Lynch, I hear you're going to invest in the province of amria?"
Lynch looked at these people. The little count wisely introduced them to Lynch. These are young nobles. Most of them have more or less relations with the royal family, such as blood closeness.
No matter how cruel the emperor is, he is also human. As long as he is human, he will have some "small problems". For example, they are more willing to trust their blood relatives than strangers.
Therefore, looking at the small aristocratic groups in the gavra Empire, almost half of their ancestors were once members of the royal family, or had a very close relationship with the royal family, so they continued to get enfeoffment.
After the little count introduced these people to Lynch, Lynch smiled and nodded, "indeed!"
The leading young nobleman was very modest, "can you talk to us about the province of ammeria!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
