The royal family had used hundreds of years to establish their authority in the hearts of the people. If they wanted to make the monarchy a thing of the past, they had to first make the people lose their respect for the royal family.
This was very important. Sometimes, Guevra was very old-fashioned and rigid.
If you rashly changed something that had always existed and the people followed it, it would lead to fierce resistance from the people.
The royal family's authority was in the education of the people for thousands of years. The royal family was always shown as a great and positive image.
Just like what was recorded in the history books of Guevra, the royal family of Guevra ended an era of chaos and constant war, making the entire island completely peaceful.
The people no longer lost their lives because of war, and they no longer had to suffer the harsh treatment of the nobles.
Everyone should be grateful to the royal family. The reason everyone could live today was because the royal family bravely stood up at the most critical moment.
Most of the time, 'history' was like this. They would not tell the people how the royal family cleverly and treacherously took away the power of the joint council.
They also would not tell the people that the royal family had launched many dishonorable wars. However, in the history books, these were all 'pacified rebellions'.
The people believed in everything the royal family had done. They believed that the royal family had contributed to the country. They believed that only under the leadership of the royal family could the country find its way back to glory.
At this time, it was not the best time to make a move against the royal family. It was also a time when they had no choice.
If the situation was relatively stable and the public opinion slowly seeped in, perhaps everything would have happened naturally.
When the people discovered the shortcomings of the monarchy, and the royal family took the initiative to abolish the monarchy, the people would not have so much hatred.
But now, it was different. If they did not change now, it would be too late!
Therefore, some actions had to be done quickly and ruthlessly.
It was necessary for the Crown Prince to appear in front of the people and accept the 'justice of the people's judgment'.
First of all, the live broadcast of the trial would completely destroy the image of the royal family in the eyes of the people. Look, not only did the royal family not bring any good to the people's lives, but they also trapped us in some trouble that we did not know about.
The people would become angry because of this. This anger would be incomparably fierce because it came from 'betrayal'!
We believed in the royal family, but not only did the royal family betray us, they also hurt us. The whole world knew the royal family's true colors, and we were the last to know!
This kind of anger would destroy the position of the royal family in the hearts of the people. Once the image of the royal family was destroyed, it would be difficult to rebuild it in a short time.
This was the right time to propose changes to the country's system.
The Duke of Phoenix and the other nobles were discussing the details of the trial of the Crown Prince in a side hall. It was not going to be an easy task.
The royal family would definitely try to stop it, the royalists would definitely try to stop it, and even some of the people would try to stop it.
Therefore, how to make it play its role would be a test of these great nobles' abilities.
In the Privy Council, there were many similar side halls. It did not necessarily belong to anyone, and anyone could use it.
When two or more people needed to talk in private, they could enter these side halls and close the door. That way, no one would enter rashly.
No one would disturb them, and no one would eavesdrop on them. That would be a stupid thing to do.
Just as Duke Phoenix was talking about some of the questions he was going to interrogate, someone knocked on the door of the side hall, interrupting their work.
Duke Phoenix stopped what he was doing and looked at the door. After a few seconds, he said, "Come in."
The person who entered was a staff member of the Privy Council. The staff members here were actually relatives of some of the nobles, and they were not close to each other.
They could be considered as nobles, but they could also be considered as not nobles. Working for the nobles was the best choice.
With a high salary and a leisurely job, many people were willing to work here.
After all, the families of the nobles were very cruel. Not everyone could enjoy all the benefits.
The Duke of Phoenix looked at the staff who came in and asked casually, "Is everyone here?"
He thought that since all the nobles were here, it was almost time for the meeting. The earlier the meeting ended, the earlier they could go back. One could not treat the nobles the same way one treated ordinary people.
They had to know when to "go to work" and when to "leave work".
However, the staff member's words made Duke Phoenix lose his ability to think for a moment.
"Lynch and the old noble fought at the door. The old noble's nose was broken, and there was blood all over the floor …"
After a while, Duke Phoenix came back to his senses and asked with a strange expression, "Did you call for an ambulance?"
The staff member shook his head. "No, they didn't let us. Also …" He hesitated for a while before saying carefully, "They are still fighting, and there are more people involved!"
When Duke Phoenix brought a group of nobles to the steps of the Privy Council, the courtyard was already in a mess.
Apart from the surrounding nobles who didn't think that the commotion was too small, many nobles who shouldn't have been involved were also involved.
After all, the young duke was not the only one who had been wronged all these years. They had been wronged enough.
They were all nobles, but they did not behave like nobles in the Privy Council. Everyone could bully them, but they still had to cooperate.
It was like they were happy to be bullied because they could not be unhappy. Once they were unhappy, the old nobles would mess with their businesses and find ways to create trouble for them.
People only saw the nobles' glory in front of others and tried their best to climb up, but they did not see the pain they suffered behind others' backs.
This time, the group of people involved in the fight had expanded!
If they were beaten up or insulted by others, they would definitely return the favor. More and more people were dragged into the group chat.
Although it seemed that Lynch's group was at a disadvantage because of their small numbers, they were all young or in their prime. It was just right for them to deal with those old men.
Duke Phoenix's blood pressure instantly shot up. He had always thought that under his leadership and management, the Privy Council might be the most united and stable in history.
Until this moment, reality gave him a hard slap in the face.
Last night, he had promised the Prime Minister that there would be no problems at all in the Privy Council. Also, Lynch, the young duke, and the old nobles' conflict had always been under control.
This happened early in the morning. His cheeks were burning!
"Hold … your hand!" he shouted.
But who would care about what others shouted when they were already crazy from the fight?
Lynch used his pair of leather shoes that were worth more than six thousand dollars to kick Kipling, who was curled up on the ground with his head blown off. The young duke was also helping. The two of them kicked with all their might. Who would care about what others said?
This might be the darkest day in the history of the Privy Council. Some of the nobles who they did not think of as nobles finally took off their hypocritical coats. They became frightening and unsettling!
It was only when Duke Phoenix asked the staff to pull the people who were fighting away that the fiery scene gradually calmed down.
Lynch stood to one side and tidied up his clothes. Half of his flower collar had been torn off and the buttons had collapsed. He could not continue to use it, so he felt like he should just cut it off.
The slightly open collar did not match his noble attire at all, but it unexpectedly gave people a very special feeling.
The young duke admired Lynch the most. He thought about it and also tore off his flower collar.
The others also began to learn from them. Soon, this group of people who were thought to not be able to stay in the aristocratic group for long tore off their flower collars.
It was also at this time that people realized that this group of people was not a specific person. They were a group, a phenomenon!
Facing the crowd who had calmed down, Duke Phoenix did not know what to say.
Say, "You are impudent"?
They were all nobles. Although his title was high, it was not high enough for him to control everyone here.
Say, "Why are you fighting?"
Not to mention saying it out loud, just thinking about it made him feel stupid.
For a moment, everyone was in a deadlock. On this cold winter morning, they faced each other in the cold wind.
Finally, with a sigh, the Duke of Phoenix described what he had seen as "extremely disappointed" and turned to leave.
Lynch's lips curled into a smile. He curled his lips and unexpectedly turned to leave with his group.
As they left, when they passed by the group of nobles who had been beaten up, the young duke pointed at them with his finger.
He was probably the most excited person today. Even now, his body was still trembling slightly. Part of it was because he was tired, and part of it was because he was excited!
"Did you see the punch I gave him?"
He chased after Lynch and asked softly. He even made a gesture of hitting someone.
Lynch nodded his head cooperatively, which made the young count very happy.
"I've wanted to beat him up for a long time. This is too painful. Every cell in my body is singing!"
He continued to ask, "When can we beat them up again?"
Lynch walked to the car and stopped. He looked at the young duke and said, "Soon!"
Soon, the news of the nobles fighting in the Privy Council spread. The first time people heard about it, they felt that it was unbelievable. In the past, the nobles had always maintained their dignity on the surface.
No matter how dirty, despicable, shameless, and despicable they were behind their backs, they could not find any fault with them on the surface.
Even if a free person cursed them, they could still smile and nod. As for what they said behind their backs, it was not important.
Therefore, when the nobles really got into a fight, many people excitedly asked if there was any evidence and also asked who had won.
This seemed to have become a national topic. Even many people who were at work were discussing it.
