The wave of Richard's death continues. For the nobles, if they simply die alone, they will not care at all and will not be involved.

But the problem is that Richard wrote a book of regrets before "suicide". It was this book of regrets that really pulled the nobles into the "battlefield".

In fact, if there is really any terrible content, it may not be true. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already checked this letter of regret, and the content has also flowed out. Most nobles know what is written on it.

It's nothing more than the obsession and desire for money that made him take the risk and make the wrong decision, and finally the fear and pain when he was in desperate situation, what really induced him to death was that he found that someone in his secret residence seemed to be watching him.

A lot of pressure finally crushed him, and he decided to end his life with his own hands.

His life is very short, and there is not much experience that can be shown to everyone. He does not want to be locked up, interrogated, and after experiencing all kinds of pain, he will die in jail all the time, or be directly sentenced to shooting.

Hanging is the only way he can retain his dignity, and it is also the only power he can control at the end of his life.

In addition to these, there are also some things and some people involved, such as how he exploited loopholes to get the company listed...

After being appraised by the handwriting appraisal expert of the Ministry of the Interior, the book of regret is indeed the same as Richard’s previous handwriting. Although there is a slight difference, it is within the permitted scope.

Handwriting will change with changes in mentality and emotions. For example, when people are particularly proud, they will write more casually than usual, and some details may be handled differently.

The stress and fear experienced before committing suicide can also change the handwriting.

This result also made it clear that the content of this letter is true and reliable.

Some key names were mentioned in this letter. These people... are all under the Chancellor of Finance.

The finances of any country are very important things. In the Federation, the Ministry of Finance manages it. This position can be traced back to the beginning of the federal state.

In the Gevlar Empire, the Minister of Finance handles the money, but the Minister of Finance is not a specific post that has existed for a long time!

According to the various records of the current Gevlar Empire, although this empire had the position of "chancer of finance" in the past, this position was often ignored by people, because often the prime minister was also the minister of finance.

This has evolved into a tradition that has lasted for many years.

After all, the prime minister of the country is an important assistant to help His Majesty the emperor in his daily work, and he needs enough power to run the country well.

But in recent years, for some reasons, the Minister of Finance has been independent again and has become a formal official position.

Sometimes the emperor will appoint the chancellor, and sometimes the emperor will not appoint the chancellor. This also leads to the prime minister’s power sometimes being great and sometimes not so great. Without the chancellor’s nod, all the thoughts of the prime minister will always be thoughts. .

The position of the Chancellor of the Exchequer can be said to be an emptiness of the Prime Minister to a certain extent. Therefore, only the Prime Minister who also serves as the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be recognized by the nobles as "the prime minister."

As for the prime minister who does not concurrently serve as the chancellor of the exchequer?

That is a mascot. After asking the emperor, he must go to the Minister of Finance. The Minister of Finance may not agree with the other party's proposal. In the end, the Minister of Finance and the Emperor will make a decision after discussion. Isn't this a mascot?

Now several important subordinates of the Chancellor of the Exchequer appeared in Richard's book of repentance (suicide note). For a moment, the noble cliques were like sharks smelling blood, becoming restless and excited.

The prime minister went to the palace immediately, and no one knew what he had chatted with the emperor, but on the third day of the incident, the prime minister appeared in the Privy Council.

Lynch was restricted to the island, so he had nothing to do and ran to the Privy Council.

Many aristocrats in power think that the Privy Council is a nursing home. After all, the aristocrats here are those without any real power. Not only them, but their elders have been far away from the center of power early. This situation will only get worse.

In a few years, they may not even have the right to see the emperor. After all, they are just "ordinary people" with a noble title, not someone in power.

These people who once mastered power, but have no chance to touch power now and in the future, have the greatest obsession and resentment towards power.

From the fact that they had nothing to do to add to the emperor, you can see how irritable this group of people is, but they pretend very well.

The Prime Minister came near noon, and if he comes too early, there will be no one here.

The nobles were all people who didn’t get up until half past nine. It was unbearable for them to get up after nine o’clock. After a simple dressing up, they went to the Privy Council to chat and enjoy a free exquisite lunch. , And then in the afternoon we bragged and beaten up, and one day passed.

This is the life that common people yearn for, but it is also a manifestation of the helplessness of the nobles.

The appearance of the Prime Minister caused a small sensation among the nobles. This was the first time that the Prime Minister appeared in a broken place like the Privy Council in more than ten years. The old nobles in the Privy Council seemed to be a little surprised.

The Prime Minister did not stay for too long either. He just walked around and walked around, accompanied by some great nobles, and then told everyone not to run around recently. He left after some unsafe conditions outside.

He seemed to show his face and didn't say anything, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he had revealed what he wanted to say.

Although the nobles have no power in their hands, this does not mean that they have also lost political power.

This sounds like a conflict, but in fact, the division of power and politics is not the same thing at all.

The political abilities of the nobles are used well, sometimes more effective than power.

In fact, before the Prime Minister came, everyone was already discussing a question. Now that the Minister of Finance is in a huge crisis, is it possible to be overthrown?

It is very rare to bring down a hereditary aristocrat who holds power in Gevlar. It may be that no one has fallen for decades or hundreds of years.

But once someone falls, it means that a lot of power is released.

People's enthusiasm is born of power.

In people’s discussions, the most common view is that the Prime Minister will exert his strength. If he does not exert his strength, he will always be a mascot. He will appear on various occasions on behalf of the emperor all day long, saying that there are not many opinions and opinions of others. Autonomy.

The prime minister is the real prime minister only when he has the financial power.

If he wants to exert his power, he must be recognized by the emperor and more aristocrats, and he nominally shows the view that "property rights will cause malpractices if left behind", and half-coerced the emperor to give property rights to the prime minister.

This promise is not easy. The prime minister has to fight other ministers, such as the army ministers who have long wanted to do it but have nowhere to go, such as some princes of the Privy Council who are obviously hereditary nobles but have little power, and the emperor himself.

Ordinary people know that whoever has the money bag is the head of the family. The emperor also wants to hold the money bag firmly. This is the reason for the independence of property rights. The emperor and the prime minister are fighting for property rights.

The Prime Minister has to defeat the three parties before he has a chance to become the real authority. His arrival is a way of expressing his attitude and position.

When the salon was held in the afternoon tea, people began to talk about this topic.

"I think the Chancellor of the Exchequer is not so easy to fall..." A nobleman who looked only in his forties, but was actually close to 60 years old, seemed to speak insightfully about his views.

"We all know that in the end, the main decision-making power is still in the hands of your majesty. If your majesty can choose to turn a blind eye on this matter, or even if he chooses to throw away the minister of finance and keep him, it will be more valuable to your majesty."

"Once the Minister of Finance is eliminated and his own hands are inserted, Your Majesty will be able to vacate the Minister of Finance, and he will firmly control the financial power..."

This statement has been recognized by many nobles. If the emperor himself controls the financial power, he will actually have the capital to become a dictator.

With military power, financial power, and wooing a group of nobles to control power, it is possible that the empire will soon usher in the most powerful emperor.

When talking about these things, no matter whether the nobles treat the emperor or the ministers, there is no fear or avoidance, just like talking about other nobles.

At this time, someone interjected, "We all know that this will happen, don't those ministers know?"

The significance of the salon is to express one's own ideas and communicate without obstacles.

Once again, the nobles around to join in the excitement nodded their heads without a stand, which was indeed the case.

If the power in the hands of the emperor expands, it means that the power in the hands of the nobility is shrinking.

Sometimes the nobles and the emperor are in the same group, because they may have to face a strong political opponent, such as a powerful political opponent.

Sometimes the nobles are in the same group, they want to contain the power that the emperor can't control ~ lightnovelpub.net~ to avoid the emergence of dictator tyrants and other kings.

Of course, the core of these struggles is power.

There are so many powers, and one share is one less. No one wants to be suppressed by others all the time, so power must be divided, not too much, not too little, and balanced.

Once the emperor showed signs of "seizing power," it was very likely that other ministers would unite together.

Throughout the afternoon, the nobles were discussing these things vigorously and lively. This is also the source of their happiness. It also means that some of them may be on the political stage because of this change.

Lynch was sitting aside as an "outer". No one asked him what he thought. He was just a "newborn." He didn't even know which nobleman was called. Ask him what he thinks. It was purely for nothing.

Although he didn't participate in it, but with these people's chat, he gradually smoothed out some context.

At nine o'clock in the evening prime time, a political talk show suddenly bombarded the Minister of Finance unexpectedly...
