Cleaning up the house is always the simplest and most effective way to help everyone get rid of prejudices and unite together.
Under this kind of high pressure, no one would want to be an "other". Everyone will desperately cling to the core of the organization and behave like a united activist.
The Duke's few words were like a thick smell of blood filling the meeting hall. There is no doubt that the days of those "traitors" may not be easy.
As a powerful empire, whether it is the Privy Council or the Prime Minister, it must at least maintain "a superficial sense of justice."
They will not take the initiative to frame someone, that would be a disaster for politics!
If right and wrong become political tools, this country will definitely be hopeless. Whoever masters such a tool can reverse right and wrong. How can we save this country?
Those spies may be real, and the people the spies bite may be real, but if these people bite some people, they may not all be real.
A few real people, plus a large group of fake ones, in such a serious time, in order to solve such a major case as soon as possible, it seems that mistaken arrest, miscarriage, or even manslaughter can be forgiven.
Moreover, these injuries will be given the "name of the collective". It is not a decision made by an individual, but a decision made by a collective.
There were expressions of contempt on the faces of some nobles. This might be the last time they participated in such a meeting of nobles. The royalists believed that they had clearly seen the face of the noble group.
In fact, sometimes...some things are very interesting.
The ministers who were regarded by the emperor as "one of his own" rebelled against him.
Those royalists who he used to enhance the atmosphere were still firmly on his side at this time.
Putting the enemy in a high position may be why the emperor lost in the end. He believed in himself too much and underestimated the nobles too.
His Excellency the Duke would not show any impatience because of the obvious displeasure on these people's faces, and he continued to read the impeachment letter.
The royal family itself is a nobility, but it is the most powerful nobility, so the impeachment of members of the royal family will ultimately be handled by the Privy Council.
This was how it was when the Privy Council was born, and then... as everyone knows, it gradually lost its power. To this day, it seems to have regained its former glory.
A servant began to distribute information, and at the same time His Excellency the Duke began to explain the information.
"Someone discovered that His Royal Highness the First Prince used his status to conspire to embezzle a large amount of national wealth while the Minister of Finance was still in office..."
Lynch also received a piece of material, with various data recorded on the first page.
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, in a certain project, what did the eldest prince's people do and how much they were paid, followed by a correction value, which is the market price.
It can be seen that the eldest prince can be paid several times or even more than ten times the market price every time.
Immediately, some actors were angry.
"How could he do this!" A nobleman slapped the table and shouted so loudly and angrily that people could almost see what he had for breakfast this morning.
In fact, not only the eldest prince, but also the nobles like to do this, and the methods of the nobles are more direct and... shameless.
But no one impeached them, but someone impeached the eldest prince. Coupled with the actor's embarrassing performance, it was like going through a formality.
Stripping the eldest prince of his heir status is very important for the next work. If His Majesty the Emperor discovers that he has no chance of winning, he will directly abdicate the throne to the eldest prince.
An emperor can leave the core of power by "giving up". This tragic move will make the people of Gefra and some nobles stand on the side of the royal family again.
In fact, in the final analysis, the reason why the prime minister wants to overthrow the monarchy of Gefra from the beginning is that "dictators will make Gefra fall into hell." As a rhetoric, the emperor's dictatorship is the core of the conflict that triggers the struggle between the aristocratic group and the royal family!
The core reason why the Privy Council is now able to compete with the royal family is that the Prime Minister and the ministers are on the side of the Privy Council.
The Prime Minister has stated that in order to prevent the dictator from pushing Gaevra into hell, he is promoting the abolition of the monarchy. This reason has been recognized by ministers and nobles.
Even some discussions in society are actually biased towards the Privy Council. The emperor did do many "stupid things".
For example, he transferred funds that should have been used on the main island to Amelia, which made the people of the main island who thought they were superior to others very dissatisfied.
The emperor's previous decisions have earned him the title of "dictator".
Nowadays, the actions of the aristocratic group and ministers are mostly just from the perspective of the people.
Faced with this situation, the royal family actually has no good solution.
The core force that overthrew the monarchy was the power held by ministers and the coordination and unity of the prime minister at the center.
If His Majesty the Emperor wants to confront the aristocratic group forcefully, then a civil war will inevitably break out!
There is no doubt that.
With so many nobles in the Privy Council and powerful ministers, if the royal family dared to mobilize the army or navy to return to the island, the private soldiers hidden by the nobles would be able to assemble in the imperial capital and attack the palace the next day!
Yes, the nobles no longer have private soldiers on the surface, but which noble does not have some security guards and other subordinates?
The number of various servants hired by some great nobles exceeds a thousand. Even if only one tenth of these people can participate in the war, they are still a terrifying force.
If a civil war breaks out, Gaevra will never be able to catch up with the Federation, and even second-rate countries can leave Gaevra behind!
Therefore, as soon as the situation changed, His Majesty the Emperor summoned the military generals and transferred them away from the island for various reasons.
Although the current emperor Gaevra is a violent emperor, he also knows very well that the overthrow of the monarchy does not mean that the royal family will step down from the political stage.
But a civil war broke out, and once the royal family lost, they would definitely die!
Resolving this dispute through political means is the emperor's last effort, and it is also the last bottom line that everyone is trying to maintain.
Once the emperor loses his last chance, he is likely to admit defeat directly.
As the core of the contradiction, the "dictator" takes the initiative to put down his power and undergo a change of power. This may not mean that he will not be unable to get a chance of "rebirth".
When the time comes, maybe the people of this island will side with the eldest prince, and some nobles may also waver. They have forced the emperor to abdicate, and if they continue to force him... it seems a bit too much.
As long as everything is given such a short chance to breathe, the eldest prince may not be unable to make a comeback.
Therefore, from the beginning, the nobles and ministers who were proficient in political struggles had no intention of giving the royal family any chance.
Impeach the eldest prince and strip him of his status as heir.
As for the second prince... that was just the final compromise. The second prince supported the de-monarchy!
Yes, it sounds a bit strange to say it, but it is the fact. The nobles actually know very well in their hearts that these are the "two baskets" of the royal family.
If the emperor wins, then the second prince will be an idler for the rest of his life.
If the nobles win, then the second prince can immediately come to the stage as a royal noble.
In this battle, they had only two enemies.
The emperor, and the eldest prince.
More and more criminal evidence is being put in front of people, including the case where the eldest prince is suspected of murdering a palace maid, although there is no clear evidence that the death of the palace maid is related to the eldest prince.
But everyone knows that the poor woman must have been killed by the eldest prince, and it is possible that His Majesty the Emperor was also involved.
At the same time, in the emperor's study room in the palace, the eldest prince was pacing around anxiously.
He knew that those outside were impeaching him, and he was not afraid of such impeachment.
When a noble impeaches a member of the royal family, it does not mean that the noble must be guilty if they think they are guilty. Even ordinary defendants in court must go through a process of self-justification, right? !
A member of the royal family must have such power. As long as he never admits to any crime, the Privy Council must produce enough real evidence to make the eldest prince bow his head and plead guilty.
Yesterday, the Prime Minister met with the eldest prince in the palace. The content of their conversation was about the charges and the issue of impeachment. The eldest prince said that everything had nothing to do with him and firmly denied it all.
But then the Prime Minister suggested that since he believed these were false accusations, slander, and a frame-up carried out by the aristocratic group to achieve some ulterior political purpose, then why...not let more people see the whole process?
He actually wants to live broadcast!
Live broadcast of the battle between the eldest prince and the nobles in the Privy Council!
His Majesty the Emperor watched his son walking back and forth in front of him, and waved his hands in disgust, "What are you afraid of?"
he asks.
Da Xingzi stopped, stunned, and then expressed his respect for the emperor, "I... I don't know."
"You're afraid of messing up. You're afraid that you can't defeat those nobles and lose the right to inherit." The emperor did not give his eldest son any dignity, which went straight to the core.
He shook his head as he spoke, "What you want is the supreme power of the country of Gaevra, but you can't even accept this challenge. How can you take on the important task of reviving a country?"
"Whether you end up losing or winning, it's not a bad thing for you."
The eldest prince was silent, and he asked after a while, "Can we... win?"
There was confusion in his eyes. At first he didn't think it would be a problem for them, but as time went by, he realized that something was getting out of control.
His father became more and more powerless, and the nobles outside were working together like crazy, so that now they have become the ones in decline!
He was afraid of this defense because he couldn't feel that they could win at all, and the future was dark!
His Majesty the Emperor tilted his head and thought for a moment, "The chance is very slim..."
