Chapter 629 Royal Cabinet
The news that Princess Anne had pacified the Mauwa colony quickly spread back to the north.
This news is no less than a shot in the arm for the royalists, making them feel that there is still hope for the royal family.
Although it sounds a bit against the trend of the times, for the royalists, ensuring the survival of the royal family has a different meaning to them, and it can even be said to be the meaning of their life.
After all, this is still an era where the feudal lord system exists, and people's hearts are bound by loyalty and oaths. It has not evolved to the point where people can easily sell their souls for money and interests.
Although the royalists are also full of various interest demands, they have to admit that there are indeed people who are loyal to the royal family. They only want the royal family to continue to exist and ensure that the interests of the royal family are not affected.
But now that the Royal Council has reached a resolution, and the National Assembly system and the prime minister-cabinet system have also been approved by the Queen, they can no longer return everything to the feudal era model.
So these people settled for the next best thing and put forward a proposal that sounded a bit bizarre, that is, to elect Princess Anne to serve as the Prime Minister of the Empire and form a royal cabinet.
When he heard the news, Purficott rolled off his chair with laughter.
"What on earth do these people think? They actually want to trouble the royal cabinet?" Purficott laughed so hard that he was out of breath and asked an incomprehensible question to the old butler beside him.
Although Purfict smiled so gaffefully, the old butler Foster did not remind Purfict to pay attention to etiquette.
The old housekeeper just looked at his young lady lovingly and lamented that she had not laughed so heartily for a long time.
From this point of view, Foster felt that these royalists did a good thing worthy of praise. At least they made Purficott happy.
However, the loyal old butler explained to Purficott: "They are not stupid, but out of loyalty to the royal family. Just like my loyalty to you and the Brandlis family, regardless of No matter what happens, this loyalty will never waver.
Even if they know that they are doing something stupid, they still hope to maintain the royal family's rule over the empire and maintain the royal family's supremacy. "< br>
At this point, the old housekeeper can understand the royalists. Just like when Perficott's grandfather passed away, her parents also passed away one after another, the entire Brandlis family was in turmoil, and Perficott was disbanded. He had killed all the servants, and it was all up to him to support him at this time.
But even in those years of struggling to support himself, the old butler never wavered in his loyalty to the Brandless family.
"Loyalty indeed should not be ridiculed, but the behavior of these people makes me doubt their IQ." Purficott seemed to have laughed enough, but he did not get up from the ground, but remained lazy. Lying on his fur carpet, he said casually: "If they are smart enough, they can understand that with the process of the industrial revolution, the emerging bourgeoisie itself will seize power from the old aristocracy.
This is no longer the feudal era, and it is impossible for the royal family to continue to hold the supreme power of the entire empire. In the past few decades, both the royal family and the aristocratic parliament have been continuously transferring power.
Centralization and parliamentary power are already irreversible trends. The reason why the empire did not become a democratic country like France was largely because the royal family transferred power in exchange for the feudal aristocracy. Compromise with the bourgeoisie
I was able to go against the trend of the times and become a powerful fiefdom noble again, because of the special circumstances caused by the special background of the times.
Under the torrent of doomsday, only I can save this world and this country, so I have become a powerful fiefdom noble that will never appear again in this era, and I still have the armed force to threaten the empire. exist.
If they use me as a reference and think that the times are back, it will only give them an illusion. A royal cabinet is absolutely impossible. No matter which force it is, it is impossible for the royal cabinet to really exist. "
Perficott said this, looked up at his old butler, and said to him: "Let the news out and say that I will not participate in the prime minister election. "
"Yes, miss. "The old housekeeper didn't ask Purficott why she did this, she just faithfully carried out her order.
After the old butler left the room, Purficott rolled on the ground, then got up and sat at his desk.
On the table is an unfinished document. This is a new law drafted by Purficott for the empire. It contains a lot of information about improving workers’ working conditions and improving workers’ treatment. content.
Originally, she planned to become the Prime Minister of the Empire after being persuaded by the Queen. This law was also prepared by her for her term as Prime Minister.
But now she is affected by the idea of the royalists trying to establish a royal cabinet, and she feels that it may be most appropriate not to participate in the election.
As a result, this half-written draft law seems to have lost its meaning.
However, Purficott does not intend to give up on it. Instead, he plans to finish the draft and then throw it to the elected members of the northern faction. They will propose this draft law to find something for the future new prime minister and the National Assembly. trouble.
Of course, what is more important is to promote the improvement of workers' treatment and improve the lives of the people at the bottom.
Although Purficott in the north has tried its best to improve the treatment of workers, if this matter does not have the legal protection of the empire, it will be difficult for the north alone to drive everything.
And the Northern Territory is suppressed by Perficott's own prestige, rather than by law and social progress.
Originally Purficott planned to do this by herself, but now it seems that if she becomes prime minister, she will have to fight with a group of idiots. She suddenly feels that she will still be the mastermind behind the scenes. It's a good time. Taking office as prime minister is somewhat incompatible with her.
After all, Purficott does not consider herself a politician in essence. Manipulating politics is neither her specialty nor what she wants to do.
It would be better to leave things to professionals, and she would control these people behind the scenes to implement her will.
And this also has the advantage of preventing her from becoming a target on the table.
After all, the memory of the original world had already told her that when the electoral system develops to a certain stage, politicians will be able to do all kinds of dirty things in order to win the election.
Even if it is only the initial stage, Purficott does not believe that those political animals will have any moral integrity.
