Arthur, who was in charge of the matter, was surprised and surprised that the Imperial Parliament could make a resolution on the case of the Grand Principal of Franmino so quickly. What was surprising was that after all, his lord gained greater power and
As a follower, he will also rise.
What is unexpected is that although the Imperial Parliament of the Holy Empire is not as inefficient as the Brook and Franz Parliament, the former is constitutional monarchy, and the royal power is occupied by the parliament and cabinet. Often, one side proposes something, the other side will most likely argue because of it, while the latter will always be the first to do so.
After overthrowing the Iris Dynasty, it entered the parliamentary era where flowers bloomed. Shirks scolded the streets and threw shoes and fought each other. A proposal usually takes a month or two or even three or five months to make a trip.
It's all cold!
As a state authority where representatives of all states and local nobles gathered together in the Holy Empire, it usually takes ten days and half a month to pass a resolution. This time it would be so happy, completely beyond Arthur's expectations.
outside.
Of course, the faster the better.
"I think that Emperor Joseph appreciates me for my own initiative to consider the empire? With the attitude of the Double-Headed Eagle family, the Imperial Parliament will not pay much attention to the establishment of a grand priest on the New World, nor will it deliberately follow this.
What objections did the emperor raise against the emperor? He naturally did it with the flow..."
John half complained and half explained to Arthur.
"For the Holy Empire, it is naturally more beneficial to establish a state-owned principality under the Imperial flag than to join Emsdan. After all, after Emsdan swallowed the Sands State, he already belonged to the largest country under the Holy Empire flag.
In that case, compared with those small states in the empire with only a few thousand square miles, Emsdan's voice, whose territory has increased greatly and is far away in the New World, will greatly increase his voice and become transcendent.
, This is not conducive to the balance of power within the empire, nor is it conducive to the double-headed owl family to control the empire's power."
Although Arthur had good abilities, he had no experience in political power and strategy at the top, so he was naturally not comparable to John, who was baptized by William III by words and deeds and baptisms of his previous life.
After listening to John's explanation, he immediately thought deeply.
Then he said, "Then your majesty, aren't you the one who suffers the most among the three parties?"
The three parties refer to the noble families of the Holy Empire and the Duchy of Franmino, as well as the Kingdom of Emsdan represented by John.
John shook his head and smiled:
"It's not a problem to suffer a loss. Anyway, the position of the Grand Duke falls on me. If I care about this little power, I would not have proposed to establish a constitutional monarchy before. I don't plan on the matter with Franmine for the time being.
Too much intervention, just like Haigar, lay a solid foundation first and then take it slowly.”
Yes, John, the newly established Duchy of Franmino, was ready to build a constitutional monarchy.
It was not John who believed that the constitutional monarchy was better than the centralized system for historical progress. In his opinion, the system was not distinguished from the superiority of the law, but only depends on whether it was appropriate.
He did this only because he was in the throne of three countries and did not have the time to do the political affairs of the country personally, so it was just right to hand over the daily affairs to these idle nobles. Otherwise, these guys who were used to power would be idle after they were idle.
It would be bad if you think about it all day long and do something out of the box.
In addition, the reason why John chose to establish a grand priest rather than a kingdom was because in the Western world, inheritance of the throne was a very serious and rigorous issue. In Europa, which only had ancestors, such as kings or electorates, the emperors, etc., were the ancestors.
Only families with titles are eligible to obtain the right to inherit the throne.
Unless ordinary nobles marry into the royal family, they will have a very small chance to ascend the throne, otherwise it will be completely unlawful. A ready-made example is Bonama, the First Empire of Franz, who once conquered most of Europa.
The military commander recognized his great military achievements, but once he proclaimed himself emperor and was involved in the power of the emperor, he was still rejected by all European countries and publicly denounced him as usurping politics.
Although this time it was just a grand priest, not a kingdom, as the emperor of the empire, that emperor Joseph could arbitrarily grant the throne of a grand priest to others, as long as he could take out a real fief.
If he promoted an ordinary nobleman to the monarch of a great priest, he would probably be boycotted by all the royal families and nobles of the empire.
According to the tradition and system of Europa, the Grand Duke is the monarch of a grand duke, with a status of one level higher than the duke and prince, and only half a level lower than the king, but also an independent country. Except for formal occasions, you must go first when you meet the king of another country.
In addition to rituals, there is no difference between power and kings.
That is, John was elected as the Crown Prince of Emsdan and King Hegal, and was crowned by the Grand Duke of Franmingo. Otherwise, unless it was a prince or princess,
If the family of electoral princes and dukes has been qualified to be awarded the throne of Grand Duke by the emperor.
Arthur understood that John was not greedy for power when he stood up, but as a more traditional aristocratic school, he still advocated monarchy and centralization rather than constitutionalism.
"Your Majesty, will there be troubles of power imbalance in the future if these families are allowed to rule the Grand Duchy?"
"Don't worry, although this world is extraordinary and hidden, it is the extraordinary world where great power belongs to itself. As long as my strength does not regress, those guys will not be able to make a big wave. There are really corrupt people, so kill one group and exchange for another
Just criticize it, anyway, there are some people who are rushing to become officials and nobles!"
John did not care about this. Although he, the Grand Duke, was only nominally, the Grand Duke of Franminco, still adopted a constitutional monarchy within the country, and was ruled by the parliament and the cabinet, but if one of the monarchs was strong, it was not impossible to regain power.
Has Brook repeatedly broken the constitution and returned to the monarchy? In his history, he repeated the monarchy and constitutional monarchy several times, and then killed the domestic people?
John is not in a hurry to take action against Franmine. After all, since the three western states period, they are all considered their own side. Although the royal power and constitutionalism are naturally opposite, they are also cooperative. The current situation is the most important thing.
Or develop the Emsdan Kingdom.
John's murderous words shocked Arthur. Sure enough, the monarch's perspective on the problem was different from that of his followers.
So one month after John arrived in New Franceco, things finally settled.
The families of the New Franmino State formed a noble parliament and announced their allegiance to John, Crown Prince Emsdan and King Hygar, but did not submit to Emsdan and Hygar, but to the Holy Empire to become one.
Grand Duchy.
That's right, beyond the outside world's expectations, things have changed a bit. The new Franmino State did not directly belong to the Kingdom of Emsdan, but to the flag of the Holy Empire and became the grand priest enthronement by the emperor.
This also means the Holy Empire. During this period, John and New Francemino have been in three-party contact with the Old Continent through the Holy Empire's office in New Francemino.
In fact, it was the temporary and gradual department of several Holy Empire merchants. After all, the Old Continent usually only established embassies in major countries and regions of the New Continent. New Franmino was originally relatively remote, and in the past, they usually involved the affairs of the Holy Empire expatriates.
They are all managed by offices located in Sands State.
The reason why it became an independent Grand Duchy under the flag of the Holy Empire was that the new Franmino state government expressed its external pressure to the outside world, so it did not allow Emsdan to annex the new Franmino state. Emsdan
As the party who suffered a loss, after accepting this fact, he also expressed dissatisfaction with several powerful people.
