My name is Ren

Chapter 276 The Wheel of History We Call It Inertia, Under the Effect of Inertia, Everyone Will Be Carried

"Uncle Tretter, tell me about the aristocratic group of the empire."

What Ryan said stunned Tretter for a moment. He immediately sat up straight, looked at Ryan with a serious face, and looked up and down at his friend's child.Once upon a time, Treite wanted Ren to be his son-in-law, and he liked Ren more than other heirs of nobles at this age.Especially after Rennes went to Ortrenburg, he was almost too satisfied.Compared with Rennes' wanderings in the imperial capital before, the current Rennes is simply a perfect marriage partner.

With a sacred bloodline and a golden aristocrat, he was born with an extremely strong political foundation.Coupled with his outstanding performance in politics at this time, it is not difficult to imagine that as long as he does not go wrong, does not make mistakes, and does not fall, he will inevitably become a very important person in the entire empire in the future, and he may aspire to be the prime minister. position of power.But when Ryan said this, Tretter's thoughts disappeared.

As one of the great nobles in Orlando, he really knows what a noble group is, and he also clearly and clearly understands how powerful and terrifying the noble group is.Ren obviously wants to attack the noble group, even if not now, there will be a day in the future.So he is unwilling to take risks, after all, he is not a gold nobleman, and he doesn't have that kind of confidence.

Ren asked this question, and Twright also planned to talk about it, maybe this can dispel Ren's thoughts.

After deliberating over and over again, Tretter spoke eloquently.

Noble groups did not exist at the beginning. At the beginning of the empire, people had not thought of fighting against the royal family and the golden nobles. At that time, the horror of the holy covenant was still there, and not many people dared to confront Orlando who overthrew the holy empire. The family, and the gold nobles.At that time, the twelve golden nobles completely ruled the country from top to bottom.All people, whether slaves, pariahs or nobles, lived under this high degree of domination.

This situation did not change until the death of Orlando I and all the first generation of the gold nobles.

The extremes of things are the opposite. During the reign of Orlando II, the nobles under the high-pressure rule broke out due to tax issues. Orlando II did not hesitate to oppose the vast majority of the nobles, and included armed taxation into the constitution.This means that if a nobleman dares to resist the tax, then anyone has the right to levy it.You must know that it has only been forty years since the overthrow of the Holy Empire to Orlando II, and many nobles have not recovered from their severe injuries.

A single document from the royal family required them to pay a large amount of taxes, which was tantamount to cutting off their foundation to restore their strength, so a war broke out.This was a civil war that lasted 11 years. The entire empire was almost shattered. People continued to stand up against the atrocities of the empire, even the nobles with the title of duke.During the protracted war, Orlando II was devastated, but this also made him more aware of the dangers of the aristocracy to the royal family.

In the end, he had to compromise. In order to quickly assess the still endless civil war, he could only compromise with some nobles and give up part of his power.

(There is an introduction in the previous chapter, so I will not talk about it.)
Once the nobles discovered that once their will was united enough to stand against the royal family in the Imperial Diet, the nobility group was born.The small nobles surrounded the big nobles, forming huge forces one by one.If the royal family wants to move anyone, it will have to face an entire noble group.Survival in a group has very well limited the privileges and power of the royal family, and let the nobles see another possibility of reaching the peak of power.Under the continuous changes and promotion of history, the imperial parliament, which was originally a special institution intended to be used by the royal family to disarm the nobles, has instead become a shackle that the royal family put on itself.

Resource sharing, power sharing, and intelligence sharing, the loose nobles condensed into a firm fist.

Even the royal family did not dare to take advantage of it easily.

The long narration made Twright's mouth dry. He took a sip from the full wine glass for the third time, and let out a sigh of relief, "Ren, I understand your desire to restore the authority of the family, but this You have to take it step by step. Although running is faster than walking and getting closer to the finish line, it is also easier to fall. On the runway of power, as long as you fall, the people behind will step on your body and move forward without giving you any The opportunity to get up. When you can get up, you will find that you have been left far away."

"So, as your father's closest friend, I would like to advise you to think carefully before doing anything, and don't easily do something that makes you regret."

Faced with Twright's advice, Ren nodded, but he didn't take it seriously. He smiled and said, "Uncle Twright, I understand your painstaking efforts, and I don't intend to have a direct conflict with the aristocratic group.", When he said this, Tretter breathed a sigh of relief and made his sitting posture looser and more comfortable, but what Ryan said next made him smile bitterly, "So I plan to use a roundabout way to disintegrate the whole The inherent situation of the ruling class."

"Can I trust you, Uncle Tretter." Ren asked.

Salcomo also looked at Tretter. His granddaughter is now with Ren. Everyone knows that marriage is a fart, and they let it go when they need to. But before the fart is released, marriage is still a fart. Something that proves loyalty.

Tretter nodded, "Not even a word of communication between us will leak out, I promise."

Ren tapped his knuckles on the table lightly, and said, "I plan to change the system of the Imperial Parliament."

Treite jumped up and stood up. He stared at Ren in a daze, with a look of shock on his face.You must know that the [-] seats in the Imperial Council were established during the period of Orlando II, and no one has thought of changing the status quo of the Imperial Council until today.As the noble group's most beneficial weapon against the royal family, anyone who dares to reach out to the imperial parliamentary system will be crushed by the noble group, even if that person is a golden nobleman.

Tretter's shock at this time cannot be described in words. Ren is simply asking for his own death. When he was about to warn Ren sternly, Ren walked up to him and put his hands on his shoulders. Push him back onto the sofa.

"I didn't think about abolishing the parliamentary system. I think the parliamentary system is very good." This sentence reassured Tretter a little. At least Ren was not blind enough to rush to die, but Ren's next sentence , which caused Treite to stop thinking again, "I just think that [-] seats are too few, at least we need to expand to more than [-] seats."

"The entire empire has thousands of aristocratic families, as well as forces like the Industrial and Commercial Party, and there are many illegal and legal armed forces. This does not include the civilian forces and elites who are completely dominant. Everyone, everyone Organizational power, each class has its own political views and interests. Judging from the turmoil in Bell Province and the Baratan tragedy, the current political system can no longer completely suppress the power from these bottom classes."

"Then the restructuring of the Imperial Parliament is imperative. The awakened civil forces also need a place to express their ideas and appeals. Instead of using an institution like the Advisory Council to fool the ghosts, it is better to give them a place to stand with us." An opportunity at the starting line. The Industrial and Commercial Party is the best embodiment. If Salcomo becomes a member of the Imperial Parliament, he can represent the group of merchants and send their voices and appeals to the privileged class."

"Business groups will become more stable because they have a channel to claim."

"Then what if the working class, the citizen class, and the elite are all involved?" Ren walked back to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a beautiful silver cigarette case, opened it, and went to the empty one next to Tretter. Sit down on the sofa.He put the cigarette case on the table between the two sets of sofas, and cut out a few small pieces.Tretter subconsciously took out the pipe of dragon's blood wood, crushed a piece of it and stuffed it in.

Ren took out the scythe and lightly smoked it, and the flames flickered up immediately. After the two got closer for a while, Treite exhaled a puff of smoke that exuded a strange fragrance.

Wren had a pipe too, and he took a puff too, staring closely at Tretter.

Treite frowned and thought from time to time, and for a moment he suddenly smiled and shook his head, "You scared me, Ren." Before Ren could speak, he said again: "Your ideas are a bit...whimsical, but I have to say , your thoughts really make me not know what to say."

Ren knows well that this is a plan that is absolutely possible, otherwise he would not have this plan.

In fact, all nobles can see that the Parliament is the private land of Queen Pars, but the Imperial Parliament is the domain of the nobles.No matter who wants to advocate a certain policy, it must be agreed by many parties before it can continue to be implemented.This involves all kinds of shady transactions and political fornication and compromise.Compared with the noble group, the royal family has greater anger. After all, logically speaking, the entire empire belongs to the Orlando family.

But now, Her Majesty Queen Pars, Orlando VII, wants to do something at home, but she needs the consent of all the residents. This makes her lose her dominant position, which is also unacceptable to her.

Rennes' purpose of clearing out a group of wall sitters is to free up some seats in the Imperial Parliament. These seats are the bones he threw out, and the royal family and aristocratic groups will inevitably compete for each other.When both sides are tearing their faces apart and preparing to have a fight, Rennes will properly propose a proposal to expand the seats.Queen Pars, who was a loser anyway, would readily agree that expanding the seats would reduce the power and deterrence of the aristocratic group.

And the aristocratic group will agree that more seats mean that their power and influence will expand again.

At this time, it is not so difficult to promote the reform of the aristocratic group and turn the aristocratic group into a party.Once the aristocratic group becomes a political group with an independent system, the centripetal force of the small aristocrats surrounding the big aristocrats will weaken, and the authority of the big aristocracy will be weakened.
