MTL - Magic Tower Starry Sky-Chapter 1431 secret constitutional convention
When the mystery is revealed, many people will feel rightly so. This time is no exception.
Those who can get the title of grand duke are all human beings. As long as the IQ is poor, it is impossible to inherit the family business in the environment of the Karlsruhe Empire, where the selection of talents is not selected, unless all other heirs die.
So in the face of the empress' invitation, in fact, the invited grand dukes had already arrived near the temple of the Church of the Three Holy Lights. And arrange the manpower, ready to see who the other invitees are.
Although the real master hid it well, but the competent people sent out to spy on the news just like this, yo, they are all acquaintances. Everyone has played against each other publicly and privately, and who is the master behind who is still unclear.
Now everyone is here, and there are no new faces around. A group of people simply met and made up their minds, then turned around and reported to their respective masters. Only then did the grand dukes know that those who were invited were all old opponents of the same rank as themselves.
Now that the answer to the mystery was revealed, everyone didn't intend to dance with the empress' arrangement, and went directly to the temple of the Church of the Three Holy Lights. A group of people entered secretly through the side door, leaving only one personal guard, and the rest of the followers were scattered around the temple, faintly surrounding the temple.
The priest on standby led these noble people to the prayer room where the empress was waiting. This is not a place where calamus is treated, but a place where people in the church really use it to pray to the gods.
The three holy emblems of the Lord of Justice, Lord of Life and Lord of Protection are hung on the altar. Except for the last one which was dull and dull, the other two radiated a slight holy light.
St. Alegria did not kneel down to pray. The self-esteem of the emperor of the empire is not allowed to kneel down to any gods.
But when the grand dukes arrived, the empress stared blankly at the holy objects of the three gods with a hesitant expression. And the impolite and trespassing magician was by his side. Other than that, there are no other followers.
The early arrival of the Grand Dukes did not cause any trouble to the inviters. The empress didn't look as anxious as the grand dukes imagined, and when they appeared, she knelt down and begged for shelter.
On the contrary, the empress still maintained her usual indifferent demeanor. This can't help but make the grand dukes doubt the correctness of the words spoken by the magician. His Majesty the Emperor, do you really mean to ask for peace?
"Masters, the meaning of the great magician Gabrash Tripwood is my meaning. I will discuss it with you in detail here." After speaking, the empress looked back at the holy emblem of the gods, As if in silent prayer.
With the opening of the empress, Lin directly asked some soul-pointing questions, interrogating several masters present, lest they talk about their own qualifications. If you really want to argue with the nobles, you can't see the end for three days and three nights. So get straight to the point.
Lin said: "My lords, how long do you think the current political situation can last? All the nobles unite to suppress His Majesty the Emperor, until the end? Will the status quo be maintained if another Emperor comes to power? Which emperor do you all feel satisfied with? Your Majesty was able to be crowned and enthroned, didn't it mean that you thought she was qualified and could satisfy you. Why are you not satisfied today?"
Grand Duke Mu Xi, as an indicator of the hardliners, still said what he would say at this time: "As long as I wait for the day I am alive, this situation will not change. Or do you think that with your own strength, There are ways to turn things around."
"My lord, I believe you can do what you say. But what about after a hundred years? Even if you don't say a hundred years, this generation will all die. Every one of you lords is older than your majesty. Although the tomb only pretends to be dead, isn't it Just pretend to be an old man, but in terms of remaining lifespan, His Majesty has a chance to live longer than any of you. Then, will the situation be the same at that time?"
"Just say what you want to say, don't ask nonsense questions." Although the Grand Duke of Oz does not belong to any faction within the empire, his words carry a lot of weight. Because he has maintained a state of war with the Haider Empire for a long time, his style of acting is quite bright, and he doesn't like long-winded and hidden ways of speaking.
"If there is a way to make the current situation a statute and continue for a long time. The so-called long-term means that no matter who the emperor changes, the families of the adults have been passed down for generations, and the political affairs are still dominated by the nobles; the emperor is far away from the power of governance. It is only a symbol of the empire. Then, are you willing to support Your Majesty, especially to keep her away from things like today."
The most knowledgeable Grand Duke of Parma said: "It sounds like a long time ago, there was a republican parliament in the era of the Elf Empire. If this is the case, then why do we still support an emperor?"
Lin praised the other party and said: "My lord, you really know the past and the present. This is very good. But you don't know why the Elf Empire was not transformed into an Elf Republic during the time when there was no emperor. There will be several generations of emperors; after several generations of emperors, they will become dominated by the republican parliament. In this way, the ancient dynasty era, the golden age, and the silver age, the elf empire has gone through a period of time, and finally fell apart."
"Why? That's how history is recorded, and things have changed like this. There are so many whys to talk about." said the Grand Duke of Pircenza, who belongs to the same camp as the Grand Duke of Parma and is still in a leadership position.
It's just such an explanation, even the Grand Duke of Parma, who is his younger brother, sighed softly, too lazy to criticize. Of course, it is even more impossible for Lin to accept this kind of brainless explanation, and said:
"Whether it is a human being or an elf, the trait of laziness exists in the personality. When in a republican parliamentary system, as long as there is a strong man who solves most of the problems for most people, then everyone is happy to give power Hand it over to him, so that he can deal with more problems. Such continuous superimposition, and finally this person becomes the emperor, this kind of existence that gathers all powers in one body. Then a few generations are not as good as the first generation, and the hereditary dynasty will be ruined. That’s right, it’s going back and forth like this. If your lords plan to get rid of the emperor and restore the old republican parliamentary system, can’t you count on the day when the emperor will replace me? You must know that under such a system, once you fall from the altar, you will die easily. The family is destroyed. Even if it is not completely wiped out, it is still seriously injured. How many times can the family of your lords withstand the toss?"
"So, what are you going to do?" One of the two grand dukes in charge of maritime affairs in the empire, Grand Duke Infanta knew more about the things on Dragon Island than others, so his attitude was more cautious. I don't want to mess with this magician who can face the dragon god.
"It's still the parliament, but the parliament supports the emperor, and the parliament exercises the responsibility of governing on behalf of the emperor. This is a common practice. Even if there is a strongman in the parliament, he will not be able to stand on his own as the emperor or replace him. Because supporting and allegiance to the emperor is very important. premise."
As a rational member of the hardliners, Grand Duke Montezuma said: "You speak very well, but how do you ensure that your majesty's successor will admit such a thing? If you can't do this, then what you said before will last forever. The continuation is a joke."
Lin smiled and asked an irrelevant question. Said: "My lords know how to play chess, no matter what kind of chess it is. What do you think is the most important thing in chess? Wisdom? Chess records? Guidance by famous teachers? Actually it is not. A kind of chess can be accepted by most people To study the method of victory, the most important thing is a common rule that will not change. What we have to do is not to support the emperor, not to support San Alegria, but to support this set of rules.”
While speaking, Lin displayed the content of the constitution he had prepared on the water mirror screen and enlarged it for the nobles to watch. There are a lot of words, but it is not a tome of the history book level, and it takes a little time to scan it once.
The grand dukes naturally knew that the content of this text titled "Constitution" should be the focus of today. Even if you don't study the content carefully and judge the pros and cons, you can browse it roughly to give yourself a little idea.
At the beginning of the content, it first explained the powers of being born as a human being, the method of election and being elected, and also involved the composition of the parliament, and then the legislative power, executive power and judicial power. The final focus is on the legal status of the Constitution and the ratification process.
In particular, the ratification process emphasizes that the parliament upholds the constitution, and that the constitution can only be enforced on the premise of swearing allegiance to the emperor and fulfilling its duties for the empire. It can be said that once someone tries to abolish the emperor, UU Reading www. uukanshu. com will abolish the constitution together, and the two will be tied together.
After the grand dukes had read it once, they all looked back at the part they were most concerned about, which was the composition of the parliament. The parliament is divided into upper and lower councils, the upper council is composed of nobles, and all people with titles are ex officio members.
The members of the Lower Council are elected by the people from all over the country and are re-elected regularly.
The candidates for the formation of the cabinet will be elected by the members of the lower council from the members of the upper council, and then the cabinet will appoint the remaining ministers in power. The minister's term of office will be re-appointed with the re-election of the next parliament.
It can be said that this Ge Kui, just like the former prime minister of the empire, holds the ruling power of the empire. The difference between the two is that the prime minister of the empire is appointed by the emperor, basically who the emperor wants to appoint depends entirely on the emperor's mood. Ge Kui was elected by members of the lower parliament, and the emperor appointed him unconditionally.
"Why is there a lower parliament? And what about this term?" asked the Grand Duke of Oz. In fact, this is also the most concerned issue of the other Grand Dukes.
Lin still asked a rhetorical question, but this time he didn't digress. "So adults think, how should Ge Kui be born?"
"The most powerful person will be in charge." Grand Duke Mu Xi said decisively.
"That's right, that's the truth. But what kind of person is considered the most powerful? And will this person's perceived strength be recognized by others? It's like now, whoever the adults think is the most powerful can be Serve as the cabinet?" Lin asked with a smile.
The current Karlsruhe Empire does not have the post of Imperial Chancellor. Basically, the positions of ministers in power are divided among the great nobles of each camp.
To put it simply, although everyone is now united to deal with the emperor, no one is still in a state of disobedience. That's why the nobles are divided into five camps, because this is the current state of the empire.
