Being the wealthiest large squire of Denmark[1] and personally honoured by his peasants Frijs played a role in politics from the 1850s. During the internal debate about a new constitution after the 1864-war he was appointed prime minister in 1865 inaugurating the rule of the conservative party Højre that lasted until 1901 His cabinet was expected to widen the influence also of the farmers disappointed by the issuing of the conservative 1866-constitution but was besides marked by a beginning reclaiming of the moors and by railroad-founding. After his retreat in 1870 he led the negotiations with the French preventing a Danish participation in the Franco-Prussian War. He left politics 1880.
