The eldest prince used the method of forming the imperial party to cleverly avoid the old emperor's tricks, and instead consolidated the power in his hands, which no one expected.
No one, including Magus, expected that the eldest prince would suddenly announce that he would form an imperial party to participate in the politics of the empire. Afterwards, the eldest prince also called to explain the situation. His majesty, the emperor, was suddenly about to pass on the throne and requested that the royal family convene immediately. The press conference left him no time to discuss with everyone, so he could only stabilize things as quickly as possible.
Although everyone can understand this statement, there is still something unacceptable, except for those royalists.
In fact, there are only a few such things as royalists today. How loyal the royalists were to the royal family back then, and how bad their attitude towards the royal family was after Maggs overthrew the feudal rule.
This does not involve issues such as personality and loyalty. It is purely based on interests. A large number of people in charge of royal power and wealth have become Mags' accomplices.
What seemed impossible to many people became a fact, because in doing so they were able to seize the power and wealth temporarily handed over to them by the royal family and make it their own, achieving the purpose of benefiting themselves at the expense of others.
That's not a tiny bit of industry or a tiny bit of wealth. Anything related to the royal family means huge prestige, wealth, and benefits. This group of people has already made a fortune.
Whether they are nobles or pioneers of capitalists, they have successfully stood on the most dazzling stage of the empire.
Furthermore, when it comes to aristocrats, the more powerful the aristocrats are and the richer their heritage and history, the less likely they are to be true royalists or imperialists.
In the long process of becoming prosperous, these powerful nobles have long formed their own faction, and more nobles will surround them to form one noble interest group after another.
Just like the new party and the old party at this time, with Mags and Kubal as the core, it was the same in the past. The opponents of the royal family were the big nobles, and the small nobles were not even qualified to stand in this arena.
The reason why people think that the nobility and the royal family seem to be very close in daily life is purely because the interests of both parties have reached a high degree of agreement on certain issues.
For example, the need for social stability and the need for a reduction in crime rates. If these general directions are consistent, then they will seem to give people a very harmonious feeling.
However, there are still fundamental differences between the two parties on the essential choice of interests.
The royalists currently active in the empire are actually "losers". During the rapid transition from the feudal dynasty to the new era, some people chose the right path, and then they became the lucky ones in the new era. Became the representative of vested interests.
But there are also some people who choose the wrong path and sink in the long river of history all at once. They do not admit that they are losers. In order to whitewash their failures and cover up the stupid mistakes they have made, there is nothing better than " Loyalty” is a more appropriate mask.
People will not forgive traitors and will laugh at stupid people, but they will not treat anyone who remains loyal, so this group of people became royalists.
They use facts, that is, their own experience of failure to tell everyone that they have always stood in the original camp during the changes in history, so they did not gain any benefits and became losers, not because they failed, but because They failed because they were loyal.
Now that the eldest prince has formed the Imperial Party, this group of losers is simply indescribably happy. It's like... It's like... It's like seeing the father with a straight face showing a smile that he hasn't seen for a long time. It feels like a heartfelt feeling. Cozy, my life is finally comfortable now.
The emergence of the Imperial Party immediately swept the entire empire's public opinion and media, and even what happened in Dulin gave way to this news.
Strictly speaking, the empire recognizes that any organization can participate in the management of the country through election, but everyone can listen to some words, but they cannot take them seriously.
This is just like Dulin often said that everyone is equal before the law and the Imperial Charter says that anyone can impeach the Prime Minister. The first part is true, but is the second part true
Go and try impeachment? !
But the eldest prince set a precedent this time, which made some groups and organizations suddenly feel that an opportunity had come, as if it was the New Year.
Just before everyone recovered, on the second day after the incident, the workers' union suddenly announced that it would form the Labor Party and participate in political activities.
If the eldest prince's establishment of the Imperial Party was a radical move he had to make to reverse the decline, then the workers' union was taking advantage of the situation.
The workers' union has not been having an easy time in the past few years. After Dulin stabbed the workers' union in the back, Magers directly knocked off the roof of the workers' union and turned this organization, which was almost equivalent to the chairman of the workers' union, into a a democratic republican organization.
All organizational leaders are elected by the worker representatives themselves, which means that the power of the top leaders of the union will not always be in the hands of one person or group of people.
The ever-changing power levels have made the struggle within the union quite fierce. They have also created several internal factions, fighting each other endlessly. They focus most of their energy on how to canvass votes and how to do more for themselves. gain power and benefits.
Naturally, trade unions that are constantly fighting among themselves cannot unite and show their sharp claws as before. In addition, some factions within the trade unions have good contacts with capitalists. Now the cohesion of workers' unions is much worse than before.
If everyone hadn't been thinking about the workers' union, it might have split into several other organizations.
Now these people suddenly find that fighting with themselves is too low-level. How can it be fun to form a party and fight with others on the political stage of the empire
After a night of discussion, this group of people formed a unity of opinion on a major decision for the first time - Mareva is the one to do it!
This timing is very clever. If it were placed at other times, people may not accept the existence of the Labor Party, and even the old and new parties can directly destroy their ideas from a higher level.
But His Royal Highness the Grand Prince announced the establishment of the "Imperial Party" just the day before. They then announced that if the "Labor Party" cannot be passed, this means that there are huge discrimination and loopholes in the Empire's charter and laws.
Therefore, some people sincerely define the behavior of the workers' union as taking advantage of the fire. Of course, the original explanation is - when you see your neighbor's house burning with flames, what you think of is to steal his scattered belongings. If you are not putting out fires, then your behavior is shameful.
They also summed up a phrase to describe this sentence, called "Disaster should not be a gift from the devil."
