Lynch stood up with a smile on his face that was different from that of the Gaevra noble. He didn't look arrogant, but very friendly, and his confidence could be seen.
But if someone looks down on him because of this, they will find a hidden edge in his eyes.
He bowed slightly, which was the attitude of the lowest non-hereditary baron towards a hereditary duke. Then he straightened up and nodded, "Indeed, Your Excellency, Duke of Phoenix."
Duke Phoenix's temples twitched. He felt that Lynch was looking for trouble, but he wasn't sure.
He felt that there was no need for Lynch to do that. In fact, he was not in the same group as the royal family at all.
Even the Duke of Phoenix and the Prime Minister at this time knew very well why Lynch would let the young earl conflict with Kipling and his wife's father, the old aristocrat. This was to ignite the possible conflicts between the old and new aristocrats in advance. Under relatively fair circumstances.
So they let this approach go. After all, they were not members of the royal family, and they could not support the royal family.
But for some reason, Duke Phoenix looked at Lynch and felt that this young man's thoughts were not pure.
"Then are you willing to share it?" The Duke, who came back to his senses, smiled and showed his grace.
If you don't consider the starting point of the nobles and their attitude towards interests, as well as the smelly arrogance, in fact, they are sometimes more polite than ordinary people, and much more.
"certainly!"
Lynch paused for a moment, and some of the subtle discussions in the room also disappeared, "My question is actually not complicated. Is it a case or routine for the eldest prince to be tried in front of the public?"
"Every change in the system will have a great impact. The eldest prince can be tried in front of the people. Does it mean that the nobles will also be tried in front of the people in the future?"
"If it is, then..." Lynch shook his head, "This is definitely a disaster for us. No one wants to be embarrassed by those outside."
"If not, then of course it's best!"
Duke Phoenix's brows were already raised, as were the nobles around him.
Lynch's question seemed childish, asking a meaningless question, but they didn't think so.
These nobles who have moved from the military side to the political side have an innate sense of politics. Lynch's words don't seem to be anything special.
An individual case, a common case, whatever you want to call it.
But actually no, he complicated a very simple problem!
And this method, the method of complicating simple things, is itself a very distinctive political method!
If the answer is an example, there is no doubt that Lynch and even the royalists will definitely do something with this, and there is a high probability of success.
Duke Phoenix already has some opinions and speculations on this point.
When he and the Prime Minister talked about what the future of Gafra would be like, they were in the same direction, which was to let citizens assume more responsibility.
It sounds a bit nonsense, but it is the fact. Now the responsibility of the entire country of Gefra falls on the shoulders of the royal family and nobles, which is not suitable for the development pattern of the future world.
The parliament must be elected by the people. While retaining power, it can allocate responsibilities to the people. Although this approach is a bit shameless, it is also very suitable for Gaevra now.
The "world" in the past was relatively "narrow". Perhaps to Gaevra, the entire world was just some land near the main island.
They have fewer opportunities to make choices, which means fewer mistakes.
But now, the world has become bigger, and it won’t take long for a decision to be made. Once the choice is wrong, the person who made the decision will bear terrible responsibilities.
This is actually not conducive to the development of the country. It is possible that the rulers simply make conservative decisions out of fear of making wrong choices.
In fact, at some point, the Gaevra nobles still envied the federal people's "universal responsibility" system. When a politician made a mistake, people would think, "We voted for the wrong person."
Of course they will also consider how incompetent and stupid politicians are, but this thought will not be so strong that the other party cannot survive in society, and there will still be a chance to correct it in time.
For example, the conservatism implemented by the Federation for many years was replaced in one day without any obstruction. It is simply a miracle of the world!
Gefra people often look down on the Federation and the federal people. It is just a place where Gefra exiled criminals. The federal people are the descendants of criminals and free people, and the federal government is also the government established by these people.
But now, they need some federal models to help Gaevra progress.
There is no doubt that public opinion will become more and more important. Once public opinion becomes particularly important, "individual cases" will become an inducement to undermine the unity of Gaevra's rulers and the grassroots.
It is impossible to do it as an exception every time when attacking political opponents, and as a rule when not attacking political opponents. Faced with such a government, the people will be very disgusted.
As for the routine...
Duke Phoenix looked at the nobles in the audience and knew exactly how big a problem it would cause once he said the word "routine".
In fact, this was originally a very simple matter. No one said anything. If the trial of a noble was broadcast live occasionally, wouldn't it be over?
It can even be treated as if it does not exist, and no one will care about this issue because they do not pay attention to it, do not care about it, and do not pay attention to it.
Until Lynch asked the question.
Case?
Or is it routine?
Duke Phoenix glanced at Lynch again, very rudely, before he said, "This is just an example..."
The serious expressions on the nobles' faces suddenly softened, and some of them smiled again. Lynch also smiled and leaned behind him and sat down in response to "I have no problem."
People started talking about watching the trial of the eldest prince on TV. It must be interesting.
Duke Phoenix, on the other hand, was thinking about why Lynch asked this question. Is there a deeper meaning?
He looked at the people around Lynch and suddenly frowned, Amelia!
This problem must be related to Amelia, which made him a little troubled.
You know your potential opponent is trapping you, but you just don’t know what it is and how to avoid it.
From now on, we can only take one step and see one step.
At the end of the discussion, when Duke Phoenix asked if anyone else had any questions as usual, the old noble stood up angrily.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, first expressed his respect for the nobles on the stage, and then began to accuse Lynch and the little earl of their atrocities yesterday!
"...My leather goods store and financial company were all burned down, causing me at least millions or even tens of millions in losses!"
The old earl's eyes were almost red. He was so distressed at losing so much money in one night that he couldn't sleep all night!
The economic and financial ecological environment of the island is not good to begin with. The nobles have long firmly controlled various ways to make money. In addition, Amelia's open policy has "hooked up" some capitalists on the island. Now the economic environment of the island is Even worse.
The nobles are actually very rich, but this money is often real estate, art, and various things that cannot be cashed out immediately.
Are nobles like the young earl poor?
He is not poor at all. He has a lot of manors and castles at home, as well as various works of art. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has a fortune worth hundreds of millions or more.
But such a rich man doesn't even have the ability to hold a dance party. Whenever he wants to hold a dance party, he starts pawning various works of art and investment products at low prices.
Therefore, cash is also a very important part for the nobles of this island.
His financial company was burned down, and at least millions of dollars in cash were gone.
Don't underestimate the "pure kindness" of the common people in Gefra. You don't have any bills and want to make these people who borrowed money pay back?
What a joke!
They will never pay it back. This is not the Middle Ages anymore. The people live in the territory of a certain noble. The noble is the supreme ruler, and they have to pay back the money whether there is a note or not.
This is a new era now. If you borrow money without a note, you have no money!
There are so many nobles in Gefra. If we don’t lend money to them, there will always be another one!
This fire really made the old count feel heartache. He was breathing heavily and the expression on his face was a little distorted.
The little earl stood up slowly. Unlike Lin Qi, he had learned his way of highlighting a higher level of style in front of others.
"Why don't you tell me that you also burned down my financial company, causing me to lose tens of millions of notes?"
"You also smashed my other properties and caused me heavy losses?"
"Don't make it seem like you are the only one in the world who suffers. The way you look now makes people feel sick!"
"You are a noble, not a shrew. Mind your manners, sir!"
He had a mocking smile on his face, "Ah, I forgot, and my damn uncle, who failed in his attempt to seize my title, stole the property my father left me and joined you."
"I still remember that you were very supportive of his attempt to seize my title. You are such a damn model of nobility!"
In the end, the little count couldn't help but say swear words. Sometimes people are like this. The more they think about it, the angrier they get. He was originally very calm, but the more he spoke, the angrier he became. He said the curse words without even thinking about it, and he suddenly felt very happy. .
Sometimes, when it's time to swear, you still have to say a little bit of swearing.
Kipling also stood up, pointed at the little earl and began to criticize him, and then more and more people from both sides participated in the scolding.
The surrounding nobles looked at the two groups shouting and cursing in the Privy Council with joyful smiles on their faces. The place had not been so lively in a long time.
Suddenly, Lynch picked up the cup on the table and threw it over. The "confrontation" between the two parties suddenly escalated, and a fight was about to begin!
Duke Phoenix couldn't help but slapped the table several times, "How long are you going to be fooling around?"
