MTL - Magic Tower Starry Sky-Chapter 1433 disposition of opponents
The royal law has more content and also involves more details.
Such as the obligations of being a royal family, the scope that is not allowed to be involved, the privileges that can be enjoyed, etc., are all clearly stated in a positive way. Where there is no clear statement, it is stated in the preface that even the emperor must abide by the laws formulated on the premise of not violating the constitution.
The order of succession is not much new, it is still the same old method, according to the order of closeness and chronology. However, the most important and possibly most controversial aspect is that the scope of application of imperial law is limited to the emperor's third-degree relatives.
The rest, those who have been knighted, are regarded as nobles. What is different from ordinary nobles is that they have an extra order of succession to the emperor.
It can be said that a law draws a frame and circles the royal family. It seems to limit power, but the power possessed within the frame has become inviolable. At least compared to the current situation of the empress, if the royal law can be promulgated, she can break free from the defenses of the imperial nobles.
Grand Duke Mu Xi sneered first and said: "There are royal laws, why don't you come up with a set of noble laws?"
Facing the doubts of the grand dukes, Lin smiled and said: "Didn't I say that, Your Majesty is looking for a few adults to seek shelter and help this time. While His Majesty promised not to interfere in political affairs and hand over power, this The royal family law is a guarantee for your Majesty. If you disagree with the royal family law, then there is no need to implement the constitution, and everyone will break up."
After clapping his hands, he spread his hands, and a certain person looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. He also said: "As for the aristocratic law, isn't the legislative power handed over to the parliament? You can discuss it yourself and formulate it yourself. As long as you can get the consent of the majority, no matter what kind of law it is, the entire empire should Compliance, this is the meaning of the existence of the law. And the constitution is the bottom line of everything. Or, ──”
Lin's tone changed, and he used a tentative tone.
"──My lords don't mind, the rights and obligations of being a nobleman are determined by His Majesty."
Another thing that cannot be let go. For things like power, of course, the greater the better; for things like obligations, of course, the less the better. It's about one's own interests, how can it be made by others, and then oneself can't get involved at all.
So at this time, it was inevitable that the Grand Duke looked at Grand Duke Mu Xi who had been saying the wrong thing and giving reasons with blatantly disgusting eyes. If the person on the other side takes those words seriously and changes things, how much benefit will I lose that the other side gave away for nothing?
It's just that for the latter, apart from himself, it's hard for others to judge whether this is an act or real. Anyway, Grand Duke Mu Xi has a thick skin and doesn't care about other people's eyes. Not only did he swallow back what he had said before, but he continued like a normal person:
"As for the affairs of the nobles, we can make up our own minds, so you don't need to worry about it. It's just that you have come up with such a method. If you want to implement it smoothly, you don't just need our consent. How do you plan to solve the other group of people?"
Grand Duke Mu Xi refers to a special group of nobles, that is, those nobles with royal blood. The promulgation of the royal law obviously hurt the interests of this group of people.
You must know that before this, although they were also members of the nobles, they were invisibly superior to others in the noble group just because they had the qualifications to succeed the emperor. In terms of conduct, they are also defaulted to have some of the emperor's privileges, and some people can even act as emperors.
Now it has been cut across the board, except for the emperor's right of succession, they are excluded from the royal family law, which means that they are no longer recognized as a part of the royal family. Who would be convinced by such a cut?
It's just that this time, before the magician could come up with an excuse, the empress, who kept silent all the time and didn't even look in the direction of the negotiation meeting, opened her golden mouth and said, "It's up to you to find a way to solve this problem. Don't you think that there will be a second emperor to do what I plan to do now? Even if there is, think about the price you and I have paid to this day. If you want to have the next chance, the price you will pay will be even higher Lighter or heavier?"
The meaning of resentment and threat in the words is clear and understandable, but no one feels uncomfortable. Because the empress has the attitude she has today, and they forced it out. So they changed the topic with appreciation for the empress' disrespect and gaffe.
Grand Duke Oz asked directly: "So magician, how do you want us to cooperate with these things?"
The grand dukes no longer asked whether the content could be modified, nor did they worry about the details of the text. As for abolishing the emperor directly and pulling the other party to the same noble rank as himself, I never even thought about it.
In addition to the drawbacks that the magician said, the republic and the emperor took turns, they also had to consider that the empress would recklessly pin the name of rebellion on them. Abolishing the emperor and taking away the power of an emperor are things at different levels and cannot be compared.
Once rebellion is defined as a fact, there are only two outcomes. Either there were endless civil wars, the emperor fought against the nobles, and the nobles also fought among themselves, or the emperor took the opportunity to concentrate power. Either way, it is not the result that the grand dukes want.
So it seems that following the magician's proposal is the most beneficial to all parties and the fastest to achieve the goal. And they know very well that once this set of laws is promulgated, it will be like a river flowing into the sea, and its momentum will be unstoppable.
Just like the magician in front of me, the bank promoted by the goddess of gold coins. Even though there are advantages and disadvantages, as long as the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it meets people's needs rather than dispensable, it will be quickly accepted by everyone.
If you want to stop such a general trend, you have to pay a double price. The question is, why block?
The grand dukes knew about these two laws tonight, and wished they could directly promulgate them to the entire empire tomorrow, and take over the power they had already seized from the emperor openly. But this kind of thing is impossible even if you think about it.
The identity of this magician from another world has long been an open secret. It cannot be eliminated, nor can it be used for oneself, so it is a good choice to use the wisdom of the other party.
It's like Her Majesty the Empress, who only happened at night, and came up with a seemingly feasible solution in the middle of the night. If it wasn't for that magician's handwriting, I have to lament that the empress's scheming is so deep that even her close friends can use it to play all the nobles in her hands.
However, what kind of person this His Majesty is, everyone has already seen it clearly in the past ten years.
Since it was written by a magician, the grand dukes believed that the other party would have a plan to implement it. Instead of drawing a big cake and not giving anything else, everyone has to find a way to make the cake by themselves.
This is not blind confidence in the magician in front of him. Rather, the other party only drew a cake, and if others were to find their own way, the great nobles present would be even more wishful for it. Because they have the opportunity to act from it. As long as they have the opportunity, they can bite off more benefits.
So the smartest way for this magician is to arrange everything properly. At worst, there should be a general direction for everyone to follow.
The Duke of Oz's question is not so much a problem with the implementation of the plan, but a test of the magician. See if the other party understands the key points, or just know how to draw cakes, and success depends entirely on luck.
Lin didn't feel the anger of making things difficult or being tested. The magician, who didn't think too much like the nobles, said bluntly: "The first step, it's not difficult to say, it's just that you have tried your best to prevent this matter before. That is to conduct a census and establish a household registration system."
How many people are in a noble's territory is a question that everyone will be curious about. But this, like the wealth and military power of the nobles, is an undisclosed secret. If others want to know, they can only insinuate.
So before today, the nobles would find ways to resist this kind of thing, or lie about some fake figures that seemed reasonable. But if it is necessary to elect representatives according to the number of people, it is absolutely unfeasible to continue to falsify the population.
The most important thing is that this kind of thing is bound to be supervised by other nobles. Because no one wants others to cheat and increase the number of parliamentary representatives; and others don't want to cheat themselves. The end result is that no one can cheat.
After the census, the establishment of the household registration system is to ensure that a person will not travel to multiple places, so that certain places of residence will increase some non-existent book population.
These two things must be completed as soon as possible before it is possible to proceed to the next step, which is to elect or elect representatives of the lower parliament. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
If there is a commoner who is popular, or willing to be a representative of the district, and no one is competing with him, he will be elected as a representative of the parliament. If there are many people who are willing, they must be selected through elections.
The election method is also written into the constitution. Basically, it is the three principles of secret ballot, one person one vote, and the one with the most votes wins.
Lin did not take the time to formulate various detailed rules including elections. In Midi, it is impossible to be completely fair and just. Because under the social concept of respecting strength, everyone's concept of abiding by the law is too weak.
Moreover, in the early stages of system change, it is even more impossible to get things in place in one go. At this stage, things are especially taboo and complicated, which makes people feel frustrated and even repelled.
As for the question of how many people can elect a member of parliament, Lin originally thought that this would be the focus of debate among the grand dukes. The result is that whatever I write, everyone obeys.
That is, one representative is elected for every 10,000 people. However, in certain Homo sapiens gathering places, the population of the area is less than 10,000; however, as long as there are more than 2,000, a representative can be elected. For large gathering places, the mantissa after 10,000 people is also a comparison method. That is, if the mantissa is less than 2,000, it will be regarded as non-existent; if it is more than 2,000, one representative will be added.
On the contrary, what kind of person can obtain citizenship with the right to vote and be elected? The grand dukes are arguing endlessly about this.
Some people wish that even babies have such powers. In order to increase the number of representatives that can be elected in one's own territory. But later I found out that under the nature of the law that treats all people equally, if I increase, others will also increase. After coming and going again and again, it didn't become more dominant, so I gave up.
When everyone discussed a preliminary consensus, it was already dawn.
