My name is Ren

Chapter 272
The Imperial Parliament is the only national institution that can resist the power of the royal family, not one of them.To some extent, the Imperial Council is a battlefield, and in this battlefield, the Orlando family or other golden nobles are the weaker side.Even if Queen Pars appeared in the parliament in person and demanded the passage of certain policies and regulations, it would take the entire parliament to go through a voting process to determine whether Queen Pars' request could be met.

This is a battlefield where you can't see the smoke of gunpowder.You can't see the cruelty of blood splattering here, nor the cruelty of broken limbs and arms flying around. This is the battlefield of civilization, but its cruelty and cruelty are not weaker than a massive war.

The existence of the Imperial Parliament also eased the tense atmosphere between the aristocratic group and the Orlando royal family, and pushed the two sides into the arena of civilization, using voting as a form of war to compete politically.

The Orlando family and the golden nobles don't have to worry too much about the sudden desperation of the noble group, starting a war to overthrow their rule.The aristocratic group can also restrict the power of the royal family politically, and return the color.The value and significance of the existence of the Imperial Parliament has exceeded the duties performed by the Imperial Parliament.

The entire imperial parliament is divided into three camps:
The weak and weak wall-riding faction belonged to the kind of people that no one wanted to see, and most of these people were false aristocrats.They only have the title of nobility, but they don't have fiefdoms and subjects as a foundation, and they don't even have the qualifications to set the table.In the entire noble class, these nobles are the weakest nobles, and those who are firmly sealed look down on these people.Their value lies entirely in their own buttocks. The better and higher the chair they sit on, the more power and status they have.If they cannot hold important positions in certain important departments, then they will become marginalized people in the circle of power just like Bethel.

The wall-sitters of the Imperial Parliament are often the important ministers of the previous period, such as the princes and ministers during the Orlando V period, such as the nobles who were reused during the Orlando VI period.They rise because of an emperor, and they will be weak because of an emperor.Immediately after Empress Pars came to power, several prominent MPs became fringe figures.They are not reconciled to all the treatment they have suffered, but they are powerless.

Such people are eventually either deprived of the title of member of parliament as they grow old, or they join a certain camp and become the lowest-level figures.

Secondly, there is the same weak royalist faction. The Imperial Parliament has never taken the will of the royal family as a benchmark. What the members like most is to sing against the royal family.The royalists were struggling in the imperial parliament. If it weren't for the imperial constitution that granted each heir to the throne a certain number of members to be promoted as a bargaining chip for the royal family to balance the forces of all parties in the imperial parliament, perhaps the royalists would have been overthrown by those aristocratic groups. The MPs cleared out the Reichstag.

And the rest, which is also the most powerful party, is the small group formed by various noble groups.They occupy the most voting seats in the Imperial Parliament, and if they want to pass a law, regulation, or policy, they must obtain the consent of half of them before they can be finally passed and implemented.It can be said that the Imperial Parliament is the biggest mountain on the road to centralization.

During the reign of Orlando I, there was no institution like the Imperial Council that made trouble for him. The reason why this institution exists and continues to this day is simply a problem left over from history.

During the period of Orlando II, the most chaotic civil war broke out within the empire. In order to quickly quell the civil war and prevent the increasingly tense situation on the Western Front, Orlando II promised those nobles who helped him quell the civil strife during the civil war, promising that they could select representatives. Govern the empire with the royal family of Orlando and the Golden Nobles.

This is also the solution of Orlando II's desperation. Although he lost part of his power, he quickly quelled the civil strife.At the same time, the reflection brought about by the civil strife also made Orlando II discover that if the nobles were allowed to use force to advocate their own interests and political ideas, civil wars would continue to erupt.Thus the Imperial Council was born. Initially, the full name of the Imperial Council was "Orlando Supreme Legislature". Later, it changed its name several times, and finally became "Orlando Empire Supreme Resolution Organ", referred to as the Imperial Council.

The birth of the Imperial Parliament played a vital role in the stable situation in the Orlando Empire. The nobles began to influence the national policy of the empire by voting, which obviously did not require much cost and could fight against the royal family.After more than 200 years of evolution, the Imperial Parliament has become a battlefield between the aristocratic group and the royal family. The aristocratic class obviously found that they can completely fight against the royal family after forming a group, and the aristocratic group was born from this.It can be said that the aristocratic group is actually the predecessor of the party, dividing the aristocratic class and the royal family into different parties to check each other.

But to this day, the Imperial Parliament has become a lingering shadow of the royal family, and has become a feast for those with vested interests to divide the cake.

Perhaps after decades or hundreds of years of evolution, the aristocratic group will follow the changes in the political system and the distribution of actual interests and become a party, but obviously Rennes can't wait that long.What he is going to do now is not what Empress Pars imagined, to increase his authority and stabilize his position by cleaning and purging.

His purpose is to promote the establishment and birth of the party.

His first knife was about to be chopped on the head of the fence sitter.

The Fencers occupy about twelve or three seats in the Imperial Parliament, which is pitifully small compared to the total number of seats in the entire Imperial Parliament, but if they are united together, it is also a force that others cannot ignore.

Ren wants to integrate this power and use it for his own use.

"Grand Gaiyin, I have a list here..." Ren tapped his knuckles on the table and pushed a list over. Nine names were crowded on the thin list, and most of these names were Members of Parliament on the Fence. "You should know what to do."

Gein took the list and glanced at it, his face changed.Members of the Imperial Council are not district councilors. Each member has a very high status. It can be said that each member has the potential to become a great noble, and some of them are already great nobles.He was silent for a moment, not worried about his own safety at this moment. As a nobleman, he knew very well that actions were just means to achieve an end.

This method can be brutal and cruel, and it can also be some kind of transaction, "What can I get?"

Ren held out a finger, "A seat in the Imperial Council!"

The price he offered was something Gein couldn't refuse, and Gein knew that he would never be able to refuse. Once he became a member of the council, his status and status would immediately undergo earth-shaking changes.Those who look down on him, those who hate him and hate him must smile when they see him, salute him and say hello.Gein's breathing became a little short. He moved his buttocks to make himself sit more comfortably, licked his dry and chapped lips, and looked straight at Ren, "It doesn't seem to be enough."

Human nature is greedy, there is no doubt about it, even ignorant infants and young children will not easily let go of their mouths when faced with sweet milk, even if their stomachs are already full.They will not stop breastfeeding until they persist until they spit out the milk they just ate.

A moment ago, Gein might have faced great danger, but now he had to bargain with Ren for his own benefit.

Ren asked back: "So what do you want?"

"Give me at least two seats. I will offend many people. If I don't have enough benefits and protection, I would rather do nothing." Gein looked at Ren without fear, and Ren nodded after a moment .

"I can also give you one more vote, but I also have a condition, that is, when I need it, the two votes in your hand must unconditionally obey my request." Ren stood up and looked down at Gein, "Otherwise I will find another person who is willing to cooperate."

Gein stood up with a big smile on his face, this time he was not at a disadvantage.If being dragged by a horse for a certain distance can be exchanged for two seats in the Imperial Parliament, he is willing to be dragged by a horse to turn around every street in the entire imperial capital.

"make a deal!"

It took only two hours for the Privy Council to send personnel to the old library from when Gein was arrested to when Ryan and Gein reached a cooperation agreement. Their purpose was to take over Ryan's job and investigate Ryan. The truth about the backstab.The Privy Council manages the crimes of the entire aristocracy, which is also a way for the aristocracy to protect themselves and prevent the royal family of Orlando from having too much power in aristocratic issues.

In the same room, there is a different atmosphere at this time.Gein was still sitting on that chair, he shook his head, looking decadent.Opposite him, sat three investigators appointed by the Privy Council to investigate the assassination of Rennes.

The person sitting in the middle was the first to speak. He carefully examined every inch of Gein's body, and asked after a long time: "Lord Gein, have you been under national security before we came here?" All the inhumane forced confessions and retaliatory injuries?", the man said and glanced at Ren standing in the corner, with a warning color in his eyes.

Gein nodded and raised his head. His left eye was black and blue, and there were two cuts at the corners of his mouth. The dry blood stains showed a dark red color under the action of oxidation. "They beat me and tried to frame me."

The leading investigator nodded, "I also saw the injuries on your body, I'm sorry we came late." He looked at Ren with sharp eyes, "Your Excellency Earl Ren, may I ask you?" Who gave you the power to torture nobles without the consent of the Privy Council? In the last two imperial parliaments, I have not heard of any application for the scope and authority of the Ministry of State Security."

Ren smiled indifferently, "This is the power given to me by the royal family, and it is also the power given to me by the sacred blood and the covenant." He looked at the three investigators provocatively, "I am just interrogating a person suspected of assassinating me, It is very likely that he is the criminal of the main messenger. As a golden nobleman, I have the right to use any means against anyone who may threaten the safety of the golden nobleman, this is the power granted to me by the imperial code."

The three investigators obviously made Renn succumb without thinking about a few words. After discussing in low voices for a while, they made a new request, "We respect your power and the Imperial Code. You are interrogating Gai During the process of Lord Guyin, we will supervise the whole process, you can no longer do any physical harm to Lord Guyin, and you must give Lord Guyin the dignity and rights he deserves in accordance with the regulations of the Imperial Code."

"It's up to you!" Ren moved his shoulders, walked to the door, stopped when he was about to leave the room, turned sideways and looked back at the three investigators, "Please believe me, There will be an answer soon."

There was no direct interrogation. After Ryan left, two special investigators in gray uniforms followed. Their faces were expressionless, like machines without emotions, and they kept pointing out some questions over and over again.The whole process was extremely boring and long, but there was no trace of fatigue on their faces.

Time passed bit by bit, and it was already late at night. The investigator from the Privy Council rubbed his face and stood up, "Okay gentlemen, this is it for today."

But the two special investigators from the Ministry of Security didn't seem to hear what he said, and kept asking questions like a machine.Gein, who was already exhausted, did not lose his balance due to dozing off, nor was he tilted on the chair.By this time, he could hardly keep his eyes open, and he became numb to the repeated questions.

At the moment Guy Yinjue fell into sleep, a glass of cold water was poured on his head.He shivered, and immediately raised his head to look at the people in the room. Seeing that his eyelids began to droop again and his eyes became dim, he fell into sleep again after a while.

Faced with such a special interrogation method by the Ministry of Security, the investigators of the Privy Council couldn't say anything.They didn't make any aggressive actions, not even offensive words, they just kept asking questions that had been asked countless times, and prevented Gein from falling asleep.The three investigators have come to their senses that this interrogation method is more cruel than extorting a confession by torture.Not to mention that Gein couldn't stand it, the three of them, as bystanders supervising the interrogation, couldn't stand it anymore.

Time passed bit by bit, and Gein would sometimes be awake for a while, but more of the time he was fighting against sleep.

As the sky gradually brightened, two of the three investigators had fallen into a deep sleep, and the other had just woken up. He looked listlessly at the boring interrogation method. In his heart, he even had a desire to make Gein plead guilty voluntarily. impulse.

This kind of interrogation method is really too tortured.

Just when his patience was exhausted, one of the two special investigators in charge of the interrogation suddenly slammed the table.Ask loudly: "Why is the question just now different from what you answered before? What are you hiding?!"
