My name is Ren

Chapter 87 Behind the truth there is another layer of truth

What is a great nobility?
There are many ways to explain the term "big aristocrat", and the most correct ones are nothing more than two.One is that the title is high enough, and the other is that the life span of the family is very long.The former is easy to understand, the father-in-law of a male uncle, the higher the level, the greater the power, the higher the status, the more terrifying the power.The latter is a little different, even some earls can be called great nobles!why?Because the family's lifespan is long enough, hereditary will never replace, as long as the bloodline is not cut off, the family will always exist.

Compared with those high-ranking titles inherited by descendants, this kind of hereditary titles are real, rich and powerful nobles.Without hereditary replacement, no matter how high the title is, there will always be a day when it will be lost, completely knocked out of the world, and become a commoner. Only with the hereditary title can one continue to open up a new era.

Treite is obviously such a great nobleman. If the hereditary earl title is purely in terms of rank, it may not be as good as the many marquises and a small number of dukes in the imperial capital, but no one will underestimate him.No matter how long it takes, as long as he does not seek rebellion, the earl will still be the earl after thousands of years!

Compared with the manors of the golden nobles, Treite's Ga is obviously a little "small", not so "glamorous", and even inferior to the manors of some wealthy merchants around.But no one dared to underestimate Tretter, nor would he take his house as an example.

The sky was getting dark, there was no banquet hall, and there was no dance. Ren brought Celeste and the Tretter family to sit at a very ordinary long table.The long table is not really very long, it is only two meters long, and it is not made of precious wood, and the tablecloth covered is also very common.This is just an ordinary family banquet, just like those common people's family banquets, there is nothing special about it.But a family banquet is a family banquet, which itself represents a different meaning from a banquet.

"It's been a few months, I didn't expect you to do better than I imagined in Ortrenburg." At the dining table, Treite held a knife and fork gracefully, looking at Ren, "It was really hard when I left. I’m afraid that you won’t have any achievements, so your face will be ugly, and my face will also be ugly.” Now, he is getting more and more interested in talking, and his eyebrows are beaming, “You must not have imagined that Vito knew that you were in Ortrenburg. After what happened, how ugly his face was, and he had a stinky face for many days, I couldn't help laughing when I thought about it."

Tretter put down the knife and fork, picked up the napkin to cover his mouth, and laughed a few times. He leaned forward slightly in apology, and apologized to the other two ladies at the table, "I'm very sorry, please forgive me for not A polite gesture, but this is too much fun."

When Tretter was serious, he had a straight face, giving people the feeling that no one should enter, that this person was extremely troublesome.But he let go of this attitude and returned to normal life, and he is a very funny person.Every full-fledged politician has several faces, switching back and forth between each other, and even themselves, eventually forgetting which one is real and which one is fake.

The two ladies didn't care about this, Treite moved the stool, approached Ren, lowered his head and whispered to his ears, "I don't know if you have heard, the old emperor fell ill too quickly, and many things I haven't had time to explain, but after Pars is crowned this time, she may enter the secret cave, this is an opportunity."

The secret cave is a very special resource shared by the gold nobles. In the secret cave, people with sacred blood can be endowed with certain special abilities by the heroic spirit of the Yuanzu.In addition, by reading some books that are treasured in the secret cave, you can also learn a lot of top-secret knowledge.Before each patriarch inherits this position, he must enter the secret cave and go through some baptism.Ren's father kicked his legs too neatly, and he didn't have time to explain these things.

After he died, Ren wanted to go in again, but it was even more difficult.After all, without the care and protection of the elders, and the golden nobles are fighting each other silently, even if Rennes' request is reasonable, everyone can delay it for three to five years.In the end, he will definitely be able to enter, but it will definitely not be that simple, and he must pay a series of prices and promises.

Renn raised his eyebrows when he heard the news, "I haven't heard of this news."

"So tomorrow you'd better go see the old emperor. If he nods, Vito won't object."

Ren nodded, and said again: "I heard that the old emperor's condition is very serious? Can he still speak now?"

Treite sat upright, picked up a knife and fork and skillfully cut off a piece of lamb chops, wrapped it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and immediately the delicious lamb turned into gravy and slipped into his belly.He tilted his head, "Speaking is very difficult, but nodding or shaking the head can still be done. They got some cards, and some simple words were written on each card. The old emperor used a small card tied to his finger A stick can replace his mouth. Of course, too complicated conversations are still difficult to speak and need help."

If you can't recover quickly after a cerebral infarction, it will basically become a big trouble and accompany you for the rest of your life.The old emperor was too old, he might die someday, and he didn't think about recovery or anything, he earned every day he could live in bed.He also knew very well in his heart that the rest of his life was over, but fortunately, he could steal a few more days without being so sad.

"It's just a Luan Luan farce, how could it cause such serious consequences?" Ren was still curious, so he couldn't help asking.

Tretter smiled mysteriously, and shook his head, "There are other things in it, I can't say, I say it now, maybe I will be killed in two days. In short, there are more things inside than you imagined. It's complicated and dangerous, and it has already shaken the country. But... forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Treite shook the knife, "Remember, I didn't say a word!"

Tretter was so solemn that Ren didn't want to ask too many questions. He grabbed a grilled lamb rib wrapped in tin foil and began to bite. It was just right so that the lamb would become a little bit when it was torn, and it wouldn't make people think too much. Dry.The strong smell of suet in the mouth stimulates the taste buds, pepper and snow salt with a little basil leaves, the taste is full of praise.Celeste and Tretter's wife chatted very speculatively, and the little girl was unknowingly flattered by Tretter's wife, and immediately developed a good impression of this woman and lost her initiative.

After all, she is a little girl who has never seen the world, and there is no secret that cannot be revealed, otherwise Ren would not have brought her here.

"I heard that some of the monopoly in Ortrenburg is very interesting. During this time, the entire imperial capital has been discussing this matter, and I plan to implement this in my territory." Treite changed the topic back to On issues that can be discussed openly, "But I'm definitely not as courageous as you, and I still have a governor on my head."

Ren gradually relaxed in such an environment, he shrugged his shoulders, "Do you think I'm really willing to fight against almost half of the nobles in Bell Province under such pressure? I don't want to either, but I It has to be done. You look at Ortrenburg, what's there? There's not a single thing you can use other than all kinds of scum and insensible people, that's all I have to do, I don't intend to really Stay in that ghost place for five years." Ren crackled and complained, "If I don't have to go back, I'd rather be an ordinary person in the imperial capital."

"This is your mission, Ren. God has given you a special status, and you should fulfill your responsibilities."

"Damn mission!"

The two went into the study after eating, and talked a lot about what happened after Ren left the imperial capital.Including the division of the princes and princesses, everyone was arguing about it, and the old emperor didn't make a statement. Everyone has hope to get the sweetest fruit.But no one expected that after the old emperor fell, Pals immediately showed his edge and overturned all the original plans.None of her older brothers and sisters got any benefits, they were all given only a small piece of land, and there was not even a single hereditary title.

Doing so made people feel that the new emperor was a bit harsh, and even if he was like this to his brothers and sisters, he would definitely be more harsh to outsiders.But this Empress Pars made a lot of unexpected moves. In addition to exiling some nobles, she also recruited a group of new nobles, and she also favored some old nobles.Her behavior was inexplicable, and the inexplicability also brought a lot of uncertain factors to everyone. No one could figure out what kind of person the newly appointed queen was.

From the current point of view, everyone is still in a wait-and-see period, and no one has jumped out to cause trouble.But this is definitely not a normal phenomenon. The contradictions between the major noble groups and the gold noble groups have been going on for a long time. In the final analysis, it is the uneven distribution of interests that has caused many conflicts between them.The top three chairs of the empire, namely the prime minister of the empire, the marshal of the empire, and the head of the imperial parliament have always been dominated by the golden nobles. From the founding of the country to the present, it is almost the same as the lifelong hereditary system, which makes the nobles from the bottom very dissatisfied with this system.

Just as the golden aristocratic group has been thinking about how to gather the power that has been entrusted, the emerging aristocratic group is also actively planning how to gain more power. The contradiction between the old and new ruling groups will only become more and more serious, unless one party compromises. ease.But no matter who compromises, it means that it is very likely to be eliminated politically.

The golden aristocrats have never been soft-hearted people, and not all the emerging aristocratic groups are jesters.

In short, the current political situation in the imperial capital is very complicated, with all kinds of hills everywhere, which is a very severe test for Queen Pars's governance methods.
