The Crescent of the Sultan

Out of a certain psychology, Selim specially selected a batch of test papers to correct by himself.

Don't ask why, just ask that Emperor Sai is in a good mood.

Looking through the test papers in front of him, Selim couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

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

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

This person answered all four major questions extremely well.

For example, regarding the analysis of Poland's parliamentary system, this person gave the right answer.

“In the political environment of the Polish-Lithuanian Federal Republic in the mid-to-late period, a situation was formed in which three political forces checked and balanced each other, namely:

King, the traditional royal authority represented by the royal family.

The vast Shilachita class. (Broadly speaking, any noble can be regarded as the Shlachta class. In a narrow sense, the Shlachta class is just a large number of small and medium-sized nobles with varying wealth and status.)

A few very powerful aristocratic giants.

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

The mutual constraints of the three political forces form a benign and stable political environment. The dominance or weakness of any one force will have very bad consequences.

However, in the late period of the Bolivian Federation, with the defeat of war and economy, the royal power suffered a heavy blow and the political ecology was seriously imbalanced.

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

Polish nobles who adhere to Sarmatianism believe that they are the ruling class of the country and have the natural mission to protect the ancient custom of "golden freedom".

On the other hand, the various privileges brought by "golden freedom" are also practical benefits. Schlachta proudly defends its privileges, and any attempt to reform is considered an act of treason.

So what is Sarmatianism to the Polish nobility? For Poles, the democratic vision of law and order, self-government and electoralism is an integral part of Sarmatianism.

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

Furthermore, only the nobility received political rights, namely the right to vote in Sejmik and Sejm. Each member of the Sejm has the "free veto" power to veto all proposed new bills or laws with one vote.

Finally, if the king failed to obey the laws of the land, or tried to limit or doubt the prerogatives of the nobles, they had the power to reject the king's command and remove him by force.

Sarmatianism recognized the strong autonomy of the nobility and the important voting rights of the Sejm. The power of the king was carefully guarded and greatly restricted.

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

But this is a political system that is too ahead of its time or too difficult to operate. The royal power, the power of the aristocracy and the power of the parliament have become an iron triangle of checks and balances. Once the power of the aristocracy is too expanded, the country will fall into a fatal state of anarchy.

Schlachta believed that the federation's "golden freedom" and Sarmatianism were the best political systems in the world. However, as the power of the aristocracy expanded, the royal power was squeezed, and the emergence of the "one-vote veto" also made the Mu was paralyzed. "

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

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

"Your Majesty, guess who I am."

Selim raised his hand helplessly, trying to push the girl's hand away, but found that the other party had no intention of moving at all.

"Okay, Anna, stop making trouble. Why didn't you inform me in advance when you were coming back?"

"Anna? Who is Anna?

Your Majesty, shouldn't you call you dear Qili?

Or you have other girls' names you can call, such as Klenna.

What's so important about Anna? "

The girl still refused to let go. Her words were clearly meant as a joke, but she sounded resentful.

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

the girl exclaimed.

"His Majesty."

The two started quarreling on the sofa. It took a while before Selim coaxed the girl to peace.

"Okay, okay, you know me. How can I like these vulgar fans? How can they compare with you?"

You know, we have been together since childhood, how can others match the position you hold in my heart. "

Hearing that the majestic Sultan in front of outsiders was patiently coaxing her, the girl suddenly laughed. She leaned against the Sultan's ear, took a breath of hot air, and asked softly.

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

Selim couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded after hearing this.

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

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

Sudan took a deep breath and hurriedly changed the subject.

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

The girl was obviously interested, and the two started talking.

No one mentioned who was more important to the Sultan.

As for why the girl came back at this time, it's not important. Everyone knows it, right?

How dare a king ask for pure love?

At a time when many courtiers and families have complained that the Sultan lacks heirs, Anna's return is enough to silence everyone.

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

It is definitely not possible to only absorb Muslims. In Selim's vision, the Balkan nobles are also an indispensable part, and the Greeks are the first to enter this system.

After being weakened once by the Sultan, the Greeks had lost their independent status and had completely become members of the Orthodox Patriarch Nicholas' faction. They could just be used as Anna's help after entering the palace, and they took this opportunity to join the New Order faction.

As for the neutral faction headed by the Kara Osman family, at this time they have to figure out whether they should continue to sit on the fence or choose a faction to join, or follow the original routine of sending girls into the palace and form their own faction.

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

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

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

For Selim, according to the traditional four-lady system (religious law stipulates that four wives are the most noble), he can just pick four representatives. This is his weapon 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 factions are just a transition, and maintaining balance is also a staged need. After this stage, absolute monarchy is Selim's pursuit.

Everyone has their own secrets, and they just need harem politics to mediate.
