My name is Ren

Chapter 686 If you don't have enough courage to break the eggshell, new life cannot come to this world
"We can't let him continue to follow his own preferences, and do whatever he wants!" Vito looked at the imperial officials and nobles present with a gloomy and sad expression. What he mourned was not who left this world, but It is the power that is slowly and irrepressibly slipping away from his hands.This feeling is really uncomfortable. Seeing the power disappear bit by bit, the anger and hesitation in my heart can't be understood by outsiders.

He believed that the nobles present had the same idea as him. The Imperial Council had been the front line of the nobles' fight against the royal family since the time of Orlando I.Orlando I also knew very well that he needed to give the nobles who could not vent a channel through which they could vent.When the imperial power was strong, the members of parliament were just for show. They would express their dissatisfaction with the royal family and the emperor himself by abstaining from voting.

When the imperial power declined, they would slap the royal family in the face and His Majesty the Emperor with negative votes.

This is a very necessary institution, and it is also a place where nobles trade and compromise with political ideas. If there is no imperial parliament, then what else can restrict the ever-expanding imperial power?Ren is not the kind of emperor who can easily change his original thoughts and is relatively easy to talk to, and this is precisely the key point.

Ren is too strong, he doesn't care what the nobles think, the younger generation of nobles in the empire are bewitched by Ren, they even think that the Desi Empire without the Imperial Parliament can achieve a high degree of political and ideological unity , This is simply a stupid joke!Even the Imperial Council is gone. Doesn't that mean that what Ren said is what it is?

Such arbitrariness, no one can restrict him and the emperor with power in his hands, it is really terrible for the entire empire and the entire Desi people.

What would the empire do if one day Ren couldn't maintain his clear mind, keen observation and amazing judgment?To perish with him along with his whimsical and absurd impulses?

Well, aside from the issue of the Imperial Council, what makes the nobles even more unbearable is that Renn wants to take back all the nobles' fiefdoms and the power in the hands of all the nobles!

This is what scares them the most.

The fiefdom that had been in operation for hundreds of years was suddenly taken back by Rennes, and the nobles who had been lords for hundreds of years also suddenly lost their leadership positions, so what else do the nobles have?What else can there be?Even the number of private soldiers and servants is fixed at an unacceptable number. What exactly does he want to do?
In fact, some people are clear in their hearts that Rennes will gradually cancel the existence of "nobility".He once said that from today onwards, if there is no war, no nobles will be canonized, and even if the canonization is at most, only three people will be canonized at the same time.As the nobles continue to pass on their titles to their descendants, the nobles will eventually disappear completely and become a page of the past in history.

This is not a sensational threat, but something that will definitely happen.Once there are no nobles, what else is there in this empire?
Countless civilians?
Is that what he wished for?
An emperor, plus the civilians of the entire empire, then no one can interfere with the possible wrong direction of the royal family, and no one dares to question his policies in Congress. Perhaps this is also the fuse that hastened the demise of the Desi Empire.

After Vito's words were finished, the nobles glanced at him in low spirits. The old tyrant of the Capperfield family did not come because he was unwell. Many people thought that the old tyrant was in poor health and must be angry with Ren .They sent a young representative, a representative who had hardly ever been seen before, a young man named Spelko.Before he came here, the old tyrant had told him not to speak out his truest thoughts under any temptation, and if possible, to keep silent the whole time. This is not a naive expression, but a mature expression.

Bearing in mind the old tyrant's explanation, Spelko kept his mouth shut, and when Vito even signaled that he should stand up and say something as a golden nobleman, he lowered his head and pretended not to see.The old tyrant's prestige in the family was so high that no one dared to say anything about killing his own children and grandsons.He is like the "emperor" in the Caperfield family, a one-size-fits-all existence.

Any clansman who dares to go against his request and will cannot escape his black hands.For the sake of his own life, Spielko finally chose to remain silent.

Other nobles also had no voice, and the reason for all this was that Ren was too strong.

This kind of strength is not only manifested in military power, but also in political power. Ren, who was not the emperor of this empire, has the courage to throw the table with Pars, so will he be afraid of them... nobles? ?

Now the reason why everyone closed the door in a small room and said these words, isn't it just showing their weakness that they can't do anything about Ren?If someone can confront the current Rennes head-on, why not say it in Congress, why come to such a small and closed place where there is no Rennes?When will the aristocrats have to learn from those untouchables to form associations?

After all, it is still too weak, and Rennes is too strong.The power of the two sides is not equal and unbalanced, which has caused the current situation.Defeating the great chief and using a series of means to plunge Byron into civil war, for the chauvinistic Desi people, Ryan is like a high and bright god.They adore him, trust him, and follow him without reservation.

If anyone dares to stand in front of Rennes, he is not embarrassing Rennes alone, but challenging the entire Desi Empire and all Desi people.

The only theme in the room was silence, no one knew how to solve the current predicament, until an inconspicuous nobleman spoke.

"Why, can't we take a good look at the reform plan proposed by His Majesty Rennes? Maybe he is not as authoritarian as we imagined, and he may have left us enough space in the new political system..." , in the eyes of everyone, the voice of this little nobleman became weaker and weaker. He had an illusion that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had the intention. Vito's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately asked someone to bring over the materials that Ryan had sorted out.In his impression, although Renn does things more extreme in many cases, he will leave a way for people to survive, or he seldom kills them all.Since he decided to take back all the power in the hands of the nobles, he will definitely make up for the nobles in other ways.

You must know that Rennes can be so tough, part of it is indeed his personal style, and on the other hand, it is also related to the support of many nobles in the empire, so that he has the confidence to continue fighting with the uncompromising nobles.Since these nobles are willing to support Wren's policies, does it mean that Wren has left enough places for them in the new political system, or replaced the existing one with a form different from that of the nobility?
Vito immediately stood up and said loudly: "Bring more information, one copy each, we must understand it!"

In the palace, there were also a large number of young nobles in front of Rennes.Most of these nobles relied on the support of the blissful salon, obtained the right of inheritance, and inherited the title.Their status, power, wealth, and decency at this time all come from the support of Rennes. In addition, Rennes prefers to use young people who are avant-garde and more able to accept new things. In the Desi Empire, the status of young nobles , has been greatly improved.

"The abolition of the aristocratic system is to solve the huge hidden dangers hidden in the current empire. This hidden danger comes from class contradictions. How did the civil war in the Byron Empire arise? To put it simply, it is a class war. Half-orcs belonging to the untouchable class Once we have the power to change our status, we will launch a war without hesitation, and this is a series of problems we are about to face." This can be regarded as Rennes giving these young nobles a small lesson, he needs to put himself Conveying the thoughts of these empires to the rising sun, at least let them understand why they made a decision that was regarded as crazy in the eyes of others.

He spoke very seriously, and the young people below listened very seriously, and they also knew very well that they would occupy a dominant position in Rennes' new regime.So if you want to ensure that your power does not shrink and you are not abandoned by this new world, you must follow in the footsteps of Rennes, and you must not fall behind.

"In the German Empire, we are facing the same problem, the free people class, the citizen class, the social elite class, the privileged class, the aristocratic class. There are many contradictions between classes, and these contradictions are because we are a A unified nation, so it has not erupted for the time being. If we are also a country composed of multiple races like the Byron Empire, the problem will become acute."

"Everyone will have victimization paranoia, and always feel that they are being targeted. Once someone stands up like Thrace, we need to face a war. Only by hiding the serious issue of class, at least not easily let People discover that class contradictions will disappear. Of course, whether these contradictions or hatred, they are not completely gone, but have been transferred, and this is what we need to face next.”

"The work you need to do now is to learn how to manage a city well, how to develop a poor and backward city into a prosperous city. In fact, I also understand that developing a city does not mean a person's true Ability, but at the moment, this will be one of the reference standards for assessment, and it is also the most important standard."

"Some people may say, what do we have without the title, this is actually a wrong concept." Ren nodded slightly, took a cup of green tea from Feng Kesi, took a sip and moistened his throat, "Liuku Si..." Amidst the good-natured laughter of the young man sitting below, a handsome blond-haired pure-blood Desi young nobleman stood up, bowed slightly and saluted, and called his majesty.Ren also smiled, "Have you ever killed someone? I mean those civilians who didn't offend you. Have you ever seen someone who didn't like you, and then killed him?"

Liukus was taken aback, and shook his head again and again, "No, Your Majesty, I am not a bloodthirsty person."

Ren asked again: "Have you abused anyone? For example, your wife, maid, slave girl or ordinary women on the street, of course men can too."

Liukus blushed and shook his head, denying again and again: "Absolutely not, I swear to you, Your Majesty, I have never actively tried to hurt anyone."

Ren shrugged his shoulders and put the tea cup on the table at hand, "Look, as a nobleman with a title, you have never killed civilians wantonly or abused anyone, so what does this title give you? ", without waiting for others to answer, Ren answered the question himself. He pointed to Curius and spit out two words, "Decent!"

"We often refer to people with titles as Your Excellency. The word Your Excellency itself is a very decent word, but if we remove these flashy things and directly look at the essence between the old and new systems, we will find that there is nothing wrong with it." The difference is too big, but the new system has expanded the power in your hands! What power did you have when you were city lords and lords, now you have the same power after you become mayor, and the power in your hands may even be more powerful. big."

"Because you have the possibility of promotion, and this possibility cannot be given to you by the nobility system. Even if you have higher talents and higher titles in the old system, the place you can manage is still a small fiefdom. But in the new system, you may manage two to three cities, or even all the cities in the entire province need to accept your management and guidance!"

"Further up, you can even manage everything in a certain area of ​​the entire empire. Although at the basic level, you may feel that the power in your hands has shrunk, but the new system has given you unlimited possibilities. In the past , only the golden nobles can hold important positions such as prime ministers and marshals. But in the new system, any one of you here may jump to the top."

Ren stood up with a smile, "The Desi Empire is a young empire, and the emperor of the empire is a young emperor, and I, the young emperor, also hope to see the empire glow like never before in your young hands. Glorious past!"

"The empire belongs to me!", he said with an inspiring tone, "It also belongs to each of you!"

"Desi Empire wins!"

This is the end of the talk. Ren needs to let these young nobles who are willing to follow him know that what he does is not to hurt their interests, nor to take away their things.He just gave the empire a better tomorrow, a more stable future, and gave them greater hope, that's all.

Just when Ren was about to leave, someone suddenly stood up in the corner of the room, raised his fist high, and his high voice was filled with fanaticism, and he called out Ren's name.

Ren froze for a moment, and nodded at that guy. He was a new nobleman from Ortrenburg, who had achieved enough meritorious service in the war and was canonized as Viscount of the Empire.

Even though he has become the emperor now, he still has a different feeling for Ortrenburg, and he raised his right arm and clenched his fist with five fingers!

Some people in the room knew this, some didn't, but soon some people thought that this way of saluting was far cooler than bending over and pouting their buttocks. They also imitated that guy, raised their right arm high, clenched their fists with five fingers, and shouted With Ryan.

For a moment, the forest-like fists and shouts in the room gave Ren an illusion of returning to Ortrenburg in a trance!
