1259 Everyone Has to Sacrifice
Early the next morning everything that had been speculated appeared in the newspapers.
It is also very interesting for the newspapers that dare to report these news to report this matter.
Lynch bought all the morning newspapers published in the imperial capital. Most of these morning newspapers reported on the fight between the nobles in the Privy Council. They also described in detail why the two sides were fighting and to what extent the fight had reached.
Surprisingly, there were some reporters hiding outside the Privy Council. They used their cameras to take pictures of the scene, which became the front-page headlines of newspapers.
Some of them are pictures of nobles being injured. Kipling curled up on the ground and being kicked violently by Lynch and the little earl has become a photo that exists in various newspapers.
Lin Qi looked at himself in the photo. He was indeed very handsome, as handsome as ever, even when he was fighting.
News that should obviously not appear in newspapers is so unabashedly missed by major newspapers. There must be something hidden behind it!
Maybe it's...a conspiracy.
One of the most basic elements of authority is the sense of distance. If this sense of distance is missing, authority will be less authoritative.
For example, people have considerable respect for the authority of law enforcers, but they lack enough respect for their friends, even if their friends are also law enforcers.
This is what distance brings.
Distance does not refer to the distance between people, so there is a sense of distance between a person and too many things in this world.
The "distance" mentioned here is actually the way of behavior.
When a wolf sees a dog that looks like a wolf eating shit, it will definitely have a sense of distance and know that the thing is definitely not a wolf.
The same is true on the other hand, when people discover that nobles actually fight and get their heads bloody due to certain conflicts, the sense of distance and mystery disappears.
Ah, it turns out that nobles are almost the same as us ordinary people, there is no difference!
That’s what these reports bring!
"Have there been similar reports before?" Lynch asked casually while eating breakfast.
He spent the night at the little earl's manor last night. The main reason was that the little earl was pestering him too much and always wanted to say something. The child was too excited.
After being bullied for so many years, he finally took a breath. In his world, Lynch is the one who supports the world, great and shining!
The little earl ate his breakfast. Gefra's breakfast was a little more special than the federal breakfast. Foods made from various fish and meats and cheese became must-have items on the table.
There are also various side dishes, which are not as simple as the ordinary breakfast in the Federation.
On the table, Lynch could see cooked fish, raw fish, pickled vegetables and various things.
The little count likes to squeeze some lemon juice on a kind of raw fish, then stuff it into his mouth with a meal bag. Seeing how he enjoys it, it's like he has eaten something particularly delicious.
What a young man who has never seen the world!
Lynch's question made both the former countess and the young earl think about the matter, and both finally shook their heads.
The former countess has been in contact with the nobility for longer than the young earl, and she also knows more about certain things here.
"In the past, scandals about nobles rarely appeared in newspapers. Only very special scandals would..." She thought for a while and told Lynch some of the things that had happened.
From these things, Lynch found that every exposure of aristocratic scandals seemed to have a very clear purpose.
Except for a few that came to light, the scandals largely settled themselves in the Privy Council.
Moreover, Gaevra is a rights-based country. What can and cannot be reported is not the final say of the publishing house.
This is different from the Federation. If people can discover the president's scandal, it may put the president on the front page of the newspaper overnight. This is the justice given to federal people in a federal society where the press pretends to be free and everyone pretends to be equal.
The president has made mistakes, and he must be punished just like us. Therefore, in the federation, from a city councilor to the president, the people will not feel any distance. They even dare to criticize certain political ideas in front of these people. childish.
Someone even took the president to court!
But in Gefra, these are not allowed. Nobles are nobility. Even if nobles make mistakes, it is their own business. Ordinary people do not need to know the process or the results.
Therefore, these overwhelming reports immediately gave Lynch the idea that someone was behind these things.
"These reports...are there problems?" After the little earl swallowed the food in his mouth, he finally discovered these abnormalities.
Both mother and son at the table looked at Lynch, who was playing a very important role. He nodded slightly and picked up a newspaper, "I heard that the Privy Council has its own ideas about the next rule after overthrowing the royal family. …”
The former countess was stunned for a moment. She looked at Lynch, "Do you need to heat up the soup?"
She was asking if she needed to step aside.
The status of women in Gefra is very low, much lower than that of women in the Federation. Of course, when men talk about important things, women should avoid it appropriately.
The traditional thought is that women cannot tell which information is important and which is unimportant. Coupled with society's stereotyped prejudice against women who are vain and show off, it is believed that women are often the key to leaks.
So the former countess consciously planned to leave, but Lynch stopped her.
He comes from the Federation, a place where the feminist movement is highly developed!
"Thank you, but no need." He said and continued to bring the topic back to the previous question, "The nobles want to firmly rule the power of this country, which is exactly contrary to our overthrow of the royal family."
"What we need is a more enlightened governing body that can keep up with the development of the world, have sufficient leadership capabilities, and lead the entire country to new glory."
"But the aristocracy obviously does not belong to this kind. Once the class is solidified and the power is solidified, it will bring absolute corruption and backwardness."
"Some people should have seen this, so they want to break the people's 'dependence' on the nobles. When people no longer think that the nobles are insurmountable, people will take the initiative to assume more responsibilities."
"Those citizens of the empire, civilians!"
There were many political elements in Lynch's words, and both the former countess and the young earl fell into thinking.
Lin Qi hesitantly picked up the meal bag, tore some into pieces, mixed some marinated fish meat together, and took a bite.
Just a sip.
To be honest, it doesn't taste very good. This kind of fish may not have any fishy smell itself, or the fishy smell is covered by spices during the raw pickling process. It doesn't actually taste like a special fishy smell.
It's like eating a piece of fat that has cooled down a bit, but it's just average.
After waiting for about two minutes, the former countess had come to her senses.
Through eye contact, Lynch knew that she understood what he meant.
The little earl was a little late, but he almost figured it out. His expression was very subtle, "It's not just the royal family who will be knocked off the altar this time..."
Lynch gave him a very positive response, "Yes, even nobles will be pushed off the altar. Maybe we will soon usher in a system where nobles and civilians govern together!"
As a nobleman, the little earl's mentality was slightly uncomfortable. He was a nobleman and was proud of his status as a nobleman.
In the past, in order to support this status and the dignity of the nobility, he had to bear a weight that he should not bear at his age.
Now suddenly, when he heard Lynch saying that the nobles might also suffer a terrible blow, he felt a little dazed at this moment.
This is what happens when people lose some kind of support.
Fortunately, he was young and recovered quickly.
"Then from now on...the privileges in our hands..."
Lynch shook his head, "You are mistaken. Privilege is not something that nobles are born with. It is given to nobles by the royal family."
"When the royal family becomes a mascot, the privileges in the hands of the nobles will naturally be taken back, and the nobles will gradually fade out of the political stage."
"In the future, more ordinary people will step in, and maybe the prime minister will eventually come from ordinary people."
"But if you have enough ability and can be recognized by people, I believe you still have a chance."
Lynch smiled as he spoke, "This is just an extreme idea. It is possible that this process will be very long. For now, Gefra is still controlled by the nobles."
"If you want to change, it takes a lot of time and cannot be completed in one or two years."
"But...", he threw the newspaper in his hand back on the table, "downplaying the value and status of the nobility will continue!"
The little earl let out a heavy sigh after hearing this. These things were so heavy that he could do nothing but sigh.
After a while, he asked, "So is there any good news?"
He looked at the sumptuous breakfast in front of him and said, "I'm a little disgusted."
Lynch laughed and said, "Of course there is good news. For example, after we beat up those people, we don't have to pay any price!"
"Fights in the Privy Council will become the norm from now on. You need to start working on your body."
"I heard you're always hanging out with the girls late at night, and that's not good for your health, you know what I mean?"
The former countess looked at Lynch gratefully. It was hard for her to talk about the little count's addiction to sex, even though she was the little count's mother.
She always needed to avoid something. The young earl was still the head of the family, and it was hard for others to say what he did.
But Lynch can say that's why she's grateful.
The little earl's face was slightly hot, and Lynch's eyes were like knives. He didn't dare to raise his head, and pursed his lips, "I think I understand."
