Every inch of the luxurious and exquisite room exudes the smell of money. The precious works of art and gold and gemstones everywhere give people an illusion——

Those things that can be seen everywhere are actually not very valuable!

But this is limited to here. After they leave this place full of wealth at their fingertips, and when they calm down in the cold wind outside the door, they will realize that some things are not as beautiful as they think.

Art is valuable, gold and gemstones are valuable, but the title of nobility is more valuable.

There were two titles in the gavra empire. The first was hereditary aristocracy. Most of these nobles were lords who had been active in gavra during the scuffle.

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

The titles of these nobles can not be moved at will by his Majesty the emperor. Only after the vote of all the nobles in the Privy Council can they be moved slightly, but only once, not all.

Hereditary aristocracy is the foundation of the existence of the Privy Council, and the aristocrats inside know this very well. They will not allow the emperor to change the title of hereditary aristocracy at will.

Another kind of aristocracy was born in the "gavra period", that is, after the royal family began to step on the political stage and integrate the whole gavra.

During this period, the "Lord" did not completely withdraw from the historical stage, but it was almost the end. When the emperor canonized the nobility, he no longer canonized the hereditary nobility.

Hereditary aristocracy is essentially not much good for a country.

They have all kinds of privileges. Just look at those capitalists. If capitalists want to develop and grow, they can't do without the support of aristocrats.

This has also caused gavra's domestic market to lose its competitiveness. Everyone is doing similar monopolistic and non competitive business on their own territory.

What's more terrible is that these nobles will exist for generations, and finally make this framework move towards a distorted structure.

Since then, his majesty has never canonized hereditary nobles, and only non hereditary nobles have been canonized.

Among these nobles, there are also two cases. One is the nobles with reduced inheritance. Each generation, the title will be reduced by one grade. The nobles with reduced inheritance can only be canonized to the count at the highest.

Further up, marquis, Duke and prince will be granted only when the royal family is married, so as to raise the status of little aristocrats and make them worthy of royal members at least in face.

These titles, marquis, Duke and even prince, have no inheritance. In other words, the children of this noble do not inherit the titles of their parents, but the princess asks the emperor to grant them again.

This is the second kind of nobility in the non hereditary nobility. There is only one generation. When to die, when to cancel the nobility and privileges.

But rules are rules, and sometimes implementation is another matter.

When the prince dies, his title will not be inherited. If the princess is very close to the royal family and the emperor, the emperor will choose one from the descendants of the prince who looks good to his eyes and continue to grant him.

If the emperor and the princess were not very close and refused to grant enfeng, the "Prince family" would die all his life, and all his descendants would be reduced to "ordinary people with noble blood"

In addition to those who married the royal family, in fact, some people can also be granted by the emperor's majesty, such as the emperor's dog legs, those jesters, and those who can make the emperor happy.

For example... Lynch.

These people are little nobles, barons, viscounts or earls. They also end their lives. But if they have a good relationship with the emperor, and the emperor is still in power when they die or are about to die, they can beg the emperor to grant another grace, and they can continue for a generation.

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

If these people usually behave fairly well, do not publicize, do not provoke people to hate, and can be a rich man without aristocratic status.

If their predecessors were arrogant when they had the title, the nobles would set about cleaning them up after they lost the title.

Sometimes nobles are not as beautiful as people think. After all, only a few can enjoy the scenery.

So when they still have a little privilege, when they can be regarded as the aristocracy, they try to hold together, and the Privy Council also has the opportunity to speak and beg for grace.

In short, if you want to get moisture and power for a long time, you must make a choice.

The good looking gentlemen and the colorful ladies gathered in the small room. The smell of the room smells very good. They are fragrant by some flowers and plants. They are not so pungent as chemical perfume.

Men gathered to discuss things. It seemed that all nobles were naturally keen on all kinds of current politics.

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

Some of them say amazing words from time to time, but they are not too surprised and have long been used to it.

Some customs are hard to say whether they are good or bad. We can only say that when there is demand, they are good, and when there is no demand, they are bad.

Sitting in the crowd, Lynch didn't know that he had become the topic of discussion among the women. He occasionally looked at the place where the women gathered and nodded with a smile, which made the women often laugh.

"The prime minister has got the ticket. Next, he will set up his own team."

What happened in the ruler's Hall in the morning was not unexpected. The ruler's hall and the parliament building called "a room without walls", which means that what happened here can't be hidden at all.

A noble whispered, "Mr. Lynch, do you think it's possible that we......" he didn't go on, looking at Lynch with a keen attitude.

Others were also slightly stunned, and their eyes changed.

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

The most painful thing for nobles is money, status and influence, but they don't have any power.

They are indeed more noble than ordinary officials, but ordinary officials hold the power they can't get, the real power.

If we approach the prime minister at this time and become the prime minister's "own people", once the prime minister succeeds in seizing power, these people will be able to grasp real power.

These little nobles were not so calm one by one, and their eyes were a little "hot" when they looked at Lynch

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

He then explained in detail to prevent these fools from making some small moves in private to destroy his plan. "First of all, the prime minister is a great aristocrat, and he will only install 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, he wanted to express his closeness to the nobles."

"If the Privy Council can stand on his side and exert pressure on his majesty, then he must make appropriate concessions."

"As for us, we can't get into the eyes of his Excellency the prime minister. He can give us at most two or three secondary posts such as deputy chief of the police station."

"These positions have no practical effect. Don't hurt the prime minister's face again, so you should be able to hold back and don't move at this time."

Looking at these people's expressions, Lynch felt that they could only be little nobles, and they were the poorest. Those little nobles were not unreasonable. Their IQ was hard.

The questioner was a little discouraged. He nodded and closed his mouth. He didn't know what he was thinking.

At the same time, someone asked a question, "Mr. Lynch, do you think the prime minister's struggle for power can succeed?"

The question was asked suddenly. No matter the little nobles around or the ladies a little farther away, they were attracted by the question, and the room was quiet all at once.

Although the power struggle between the prime minister and the emperor seems to have nothing to do with the people here, it is not the case. It is not only related, but also very close.

Lynch pursed his mouth. He reached out and made a gesture to hold the cup. The 19-year-old fanatical little count immediately poured a glass of wine for Lynch and sent it to Lynch's hand. He didn't feel that doing so would damage the image of the count.

Moisten his throat with fragrant wine. He smiled and said, "the prime minister can win to a great extent..."

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

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

If the emperor can win, we can almost get rid of it. If we hold it again, there will be a loss.

It is in their interests that the prime minister can win simply by taking this gain as the result.

The nobleman who asked the question continued, "so are we going to side with the prime minister?"

The room was quiet again. Everyone held their breath and looked at Lynch. Every word he said seemed to be the truth.

He smiled and shook his head. "I'm not sure who we're on."

What did the nobleman want to say? Lynch raised his hand and stopped him. "I know what you want to ask. You want to ask me, since the prime minister can win, why don't we stand on the prime minister's side..."

The noble nodded, and the others were curious. They thought so, too. Only a few people showed some different thinking looks on their faces.

Lynch chuckled, "when we solve a problem, we often look at it as a whole."

"If the problem itself is not complicated, there is obviously no problem in doing so. It is like the simplest mathematical problem. One plus one equals several."

"Assuming that a problem is very complex, if we look at it as a whole, it may make us make some mistakes in the process of dealing with it."

"We have to take this complex problem apart."

"For example, we isolate shorting the financial index. It is a very simple thing. We short and the prime minister lowers the index. In addition to this factor, we will not refer to any other factors."

"Let's say..."
