Chapter 104 Balance is the Passive of the Monarch
Out of a certain psychology, Selim specially selected a batch of test papers to correct by himself.

Don't ask why, it means that Sai Dadi is in high spirits.

Flipping through the test papers in front of him, Selim couldn't help being a little surprised.

Although most of the papers he selected were from the finance and personnel departments, the quality of the answers was too high.

Among them, what Selim admired the most was the paper he was flipping through.

This person answered all four of the big questions very well.

For example, regarding the analysis of the parliamentary system in Poland, this person answered just right.

"In the political environment of the Polish-Lithuanian Federal Republic in the middle and late stages, a situation was formed in which three political forces check and balance each other, namely:
The king, the traditional kingship represented by the royal family.

The vast Shilachita class. (In a broad sense, any nobleman is considered to be the Shilachita class. In a narrow sense, the Shilachita class is only those small and medium-sized nobles with a large number of wealth and status.)
A handful of very powerful noble magnates.

These people are also the main body of the Polish Parliament or the Polish Parliament is the product of their compromise.

The mutual restraint of the three political forces has formed a benign and stable political environment, and the dominance or weakening of any one force will have a very bad impact.

However, in the later period of the Polly Federation, with the defeat of war and economy, the royal power was hit hard, and the political ecology was seriously unbalanced.

The crazy expansion of the power of Shilachita and the noble magnates directly caused a series of bad political phenomena represented by the "one-vote veto power", which accelerated the decline of the Republic to a certain extent.

The Polish nobles who insisted on Sarmatianism believed that they were the ruling class of the country and had a natural mission to protect the ancient custom of "golden freedom".

On the other hand, the various privileges brought about by "golden freedom" are also practical benefits.Schlachta proudly defends his privileges, and anyone who attempts to reform will be considered an act of treason.

So what was Sarmatianism to the Polish nobility, for the Poles the democratic view of law and order, self-government and electoral system was an integral part of Sarmatianism.

Although the elected king still holds the central position of the country, his power is limited by various legal actions and demands.

In addition, only the nobility received political rights, that is, suffrage in Semik and Sem.Each Sejm MP has a "free veto" capable of vetoing all proposed new bills or laws with one vote.

Finally, if the king failed to obey the laws of the country, or tried to limit or doubt the privileges of the nobles, they had the power to refuse the king's command and remove him from power through the army.

Sarmatianism recognized the strong autonomy of the nobles and the vital voting rights of the Sejm, and the king's powers were carefully guarded and greatly limited.

Schlachta believed that if the king did not abide by the law or questioned the privileges of the nobles, they had the right to refuse to obey the king's orders, and even to mount an armed opposition.

But this is a political system that is too ahead of the times or too difficult to operate. The royal power, aristocratic power, and parliamentary power form an iron triangle that checks and balances each other.

Schlachta believes that the "Golden Freedom" and Sarmatianism of the Federation are the best political systems in the world. Tom was paralyzed. "

Selim was still flipping through the test paper, but suddenly his eyes went dark.

A pair of warm little hands covered his eyes, followed by laughter like silver bells.

"Your Majesty, guess who I am."

Selim raised his hand helplessly, trying to push the girl's hand away, but found that the girl didn't move at all.

"Okay, Anna, stop making trouble. When will you come back, why don't you let me know in advance."

"Anna? Who is Anna?
Shouldn't you be calling your dear Qili, Your Majesty?
Or you have other girls' names, like Kerenna.

What's so important about Anna. "

The girl still refused to let go, the words were obviously joking, but they sounded resentful.

Selim smiled, put down the paper in his hand, and hugged the girl behind him into his arms.

exclaimed the girl.

"His Majesty."

The two began to fight on the sofa, and it took a while for Selim to coax the girl.

"Okay, ok, you know me, how can I like these vulgar fans, how can they be compared with you?

You know, we have been together since childhood, how can others catch up with you in my heart. "

Hearing that the majestic Sudan in front of outsiders was coaxing herself patiently at this time, the girl burst out laughing. She pressed against Sudan's ear, let out a sigh of relief, and asked softly.

"Then me and the princess, who is more important to your Majesty?"

Hearing this, Selim couldn't help feeling a little lost.

Before Sudan could answer, a trace of loneliness flashed in the girl's eyes, and she smiled again.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'm just kidding you."

Sudan took a breath in his heart, and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Anna, don't talk nonsense, Kelenna belongs to Justinian."

The girl was obviously aroused, and the two chatted about it.

No one mentioned who was more important in Sudan's heart.

As for why the girl came back at this time, it's not important, everyone knows it well, doesn't it?

How dare a king ask for pure love?
At the moment when many courtiers and families have suggested that the Sultan lacks heirs, Anna's return is enough to shut everyone's mouths.

Moreover, this is also an opportunity for the New Order faction to introduce more forces.

It is definitely not enough to only absorb Muslims. In Selim's vision, the Balkan nobles are also an indispensable part, and the Greeks took the lead in entering this system.

After being weakened by the Sudan once, the Greeks have lost their independent status, and they have completely become the Patriarch Nicholas of the Orthodox Church. They can just serve as Anna's help after she enters the palace, and take this opportunity to join the New Order faction.

As for the neutral faction headed by the Kara Osman family, at this time, it is necessary to understand whether to continue to sit on the wall or choose a faction to join, or follow the original routine to send women into the palace and form a faction of its own.

Harem politics has always been a necessity in a country with a strong oriental flavor.

This point will become more obvious after Anna gives birth to Selim's heir, because supporting a future king is a huge and irresistible temptation for anyone.

Although the current Sudan is still young and strong, this does not prevent everyone from investing in advance.

As for Selim, according to the traditional four-wives system (the four wives are the most honored according to the Islamic law), he can just pick four representatives, which are his sharp weapons for balancing the court.

He is different from the useless Polish royal family. The parliamentary system is the balancer of the Polish royal family, but the Sultan does not need this.

The current faction is just a transition, and maintaining balance is also a phased need. After this phase, absolute monarchy is Selim's pursuit.

Everyone has their own ghosts, and they just need harem politics as an adjustment.
