Anhua City's telegram was immediately sent to Yi Xingchen. Chapters are updated the fastest
Yi Xingchen finished a quick browsing, and sent a commendation telegram to everyone in Anhua City, instructing the Ministry of Defense to promote Zhang Yuan's military rank.
He had been dealing with official business until the evening, and Yi Xingchen, who was very tired, returned to the bedroom of the palace and reunited with the queen.
As soon as he entered the door, Yi Xingchen saw Liu Yiyi, half-lying on the bed, playing computer games with great interest. Seeing his wife beside him, Yi Xingchen instantly felt exhausted.
"You're back. When Liu Yiyi saw Yi Xingchen, she immediately smiled, got up from the bed, and changed into a set of pajamas for Yi Xingchen, so that he could be more relaxed and comfortable.
After changing his clothes and drinking the hot tea handed over by Liu Yiyi, Yi Xingchen chatted with Liu Yiyi casually about the affairs he encountered.
"Do you think Anhua City can solve the threat of the Roman legions?" Yi Xingchen said to Liu Yiyi.
Although Yi Xingchen was just a very simple sentence, how could Liu Yiyi not understand the hidden worries of the people around her? She smiled slightly, as if she was comforting Yi Xingchen's feelings, and as if she was objectively analyzing the current situation, and said: "This is the first time that Anhua City has faced the impact of foreign enemies, and we can also see that this is the first test of Anhua City. If Anhua City cannot protect itself, it proves that at this stage, Anhua City does not have enough strength to build a city, so it is better to shelve this plan and withdraw all the people to the empire; if they can protect themselves, they can naturally take charge of the party on their own, dominate one side, and if they can bring benefits to the empire, the empire should naturally give some protection to Anhua City. β
In Yi Xingchen's heart, he secretly praised this woman's unique vision, but when he saw Liu Yiyi's stern look, he suddenly couldn't help laughing, and subconsciously wanted to tease her, so he complimented: "Yiyi, what you said is so reasonable." β
Hearing this, when Liu Yiyi met Yi Xingchen's eyes, he found that his eyes were already full of banter, and his cheeks immediately turned crimson, and he couldn't help but shyly punch Yi Xingchen......
Since Liu Yiyi stepped down, she has actually only stopped her status in public office, but she still lives in Xinghua City from time to time, and even participates in banquets held by Xinghua City citizens. Her existence and proper appearance in front of the public were actually an indirect demonstration of the majesty of the royal family of the Xinghua Empire to the people.
Liu Yiyi's approach, Yi Xingchen did not stop it, but expressed his support in his remarks. In fact, as an imperial family of the empire, it does need to be close to the people, and this approach can play a good buffer role while strictly implementing the national policy of the empire, and increase the people's sense of belonging to the Xinghua Empire.
It's just that what surprised Yi Xingchen and made him both surprised and helpless was that because of Liu Yiyi's frequent appearances, the civil and military ministers of the imperial cabinet once again remembered an unresolved bill in the past, and then brought up the old matter again and collectively wrote a letter, asking Yi Xingchen and the queen to work hard to cultivate royal descendants for the empire as soon as possible.
When he heard the ministers write again, Yi Xingchen's feeling was still not much better than last time, and he still felt that these ministers were either really idle and bored, or they were too concerned about the affairs of their descendants.
If this was in Blue Mercury, Yi Xingchen would feel that this was already a matter of interfering with him, but this was the Xinghua Empire, and Yi Xingchen was the emperor of a country, so his every move was naturally not his personal problem. Therefore, Yi Xingchen can certainly understand the thoughts and attitudes of the cabinet ministers. After all, the Xinghua Empire is an imperial country after all, and if there is no crown prince for a day, the ministers will inevitably be worried and uneasy, and they always feel that some unstable factors will affect the future strength and growth of the empire.
From this point of view, Yi Xingchen should of course also be cautious about the issue of heirs. It's just that understanding is understanding, disliking or disliking. After all, Yi Xingchen has lived in Blue Mercury for many years, and his way of thinking is inevitably different from that of another empire, especially when it comes to the decision of personal family life, he is not willing to be led by others, so the ministers say that Yi Xingchen did not change his decisions and arrangements because of their attitude.
"On the other side of the new city, an opera house was built. Mrs. Lisa and a group of singers are stepping up rehearsals for a series of repertoire. The opera house also sent us an invitation to the opening performance in three days' time. Three days later, let's go to the opera together, okay?" Liu Yiyi suddenly remembered a new process arrangement on the side of Xinghua Imperial New Town, and immediately reported to Yi Xingchen, and by the way, she also coquettishly told Yi Xingchen that she wanted to ask Yi Xingchen to accompany her.
Yi Xingchen hugged Liu Yiyi and said, "Well, this arrangement is very good. Mrs. Lisa is indeed a very good elder, and the Imperial Comprehensive Vocational College she is in charge of has also trained a large number of professionals for our empire. When the time comes, I will go with you and pay tribute to her. β
Yi Xingchen had words in his mouth, focusing on the premiere, but ignoring Liu Yiyi on the side, in fact, the drunkard did not mean to drink. Sure enough, Liu Yiyi muttered, and her pretty face wrinkled. In fact, she didn't think about so many official things, she just wanted to go to the opera house with Yi Xingchen to watch the opera, thinking that it was a good pastime for the two. Moreover, Yi Xingchen has always been busy with official business, and Liu Yiyi also saw the opportunity, just thinking that Yi Xingchen could accompany her to the opera house, thinking that the two could enjoy the world of two. But Yi Xingchen is really too incomprehensible.
But seeing that Yi Xingchen was still thoughtful, he was obviously still thinking about the Comprehensive Vocational College of the Imperial New City, alas, men always have to be careless. However, Liu Yiyi didn't want to complain about him, ruining the warm atmosphere of the rare get-together between the two, anyway, this could be regarded as achieving her goal, so Liu Yiyi didn't say anything more.
At this time, Yi Xingchen noticed that Liu Yiyi's sudden quietness, and thus discovered his "sin", so he smiled slightly, hugged Liu Yiyi, and said some love words......
The next day, Yi Xingchen took the guards to the Imperial Citizens' Assembly Building in Xinghua New Town, and today, the second plenary meeting of the Xinghua Imperial Citizens' Assembly was officially held.
Fifty-six members from all over the country will discuss the constitution for the election of the new legislators and assist the council in electing new legislators. This time, a hundred deputies will be elected. Among them, there are a fixed number of 10 MPs, nominated by the royal family, while the remaining 90 seats are elected by citizens of major cities across the country.
The number of the latest citizens' assembly indicates that the majority of the members will be elected in Hing Wah City and Hing Wah New Town. The rest of the cities have corresponding seats for councilors according to the number of citizens, for example, Xilin City has nine councillors, Nantucheng has seven seats, Beisha City has five seats, Wangdong City has five seats, and Nanyun City has two seats.
After the new full members of parliament are elected, a government election will be held to elect the prime minister, and then the prime minister will form a new cabinet.
As for the candidate for prime minister, there is no high threshold, as long as any citizen of the empire and has been nominated by more than ten parliamentarians, he can meet the conditions to become a candidate. A national referendum can be held with at least two or more candidates. All citizens of the empire can vote on who will be the prime minister of the empire.
All candidates for prime minister must also go to several major cities before the final election convention, take turns to give campaign speeches, express their policy ideas, and vote in each city. Such a requirement is to maintain the legitimacy and fairness of the public election, so that all citizens of the empire can put themselves in the shoes of these candidates and have a direct understanding of these candidates, and then there can be a more fair election result. Under this premise, the number of jΓΉ is counted and the prime minister is elected.
When the emperor confirmed that the prime minister had not violated the laws of the empire, he established the status of the prime minister, and the prime minister formed a cabinet in accordance with the laws of the country.
This election of the citizens' parliament is related to the change of the imperial cabinet, and it is not okay for Yi Xingchen not to pay attention to it. It was also the first actual combat of the imperial system. To put it more broadly, whether the empire can continue in the future depends on whether the electoral system can be carried out smoothly and finally completed. As long as it is customized, there will be no major chaos within the empire in the next one or two hundred years.
The Citizens' Assembly officially began, and Yi Xingchen, as the emperor, was the first person to take the stage to give a speech.
"I am the Emperor of the Empire, Yi Xingchen. The Citizens' Assembly is the legislature of the Empire, and the members of the Citizens' Assembly are the components of the Citizens' Assembly, each of whom has the responsibility and obligation to continuously improve the state system, and to ensure the continuation of the Empire, not only to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the citizens of the Empire, but also to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the citizens of the Empire......"
"The laws of the empire emphasize the equality of all men. Every citizen and citizen has corresponding rights and obligations. Ladies and gentlemen, you are all good citizens of the Empire. Each of you parliamentarians represents a certain number of citizens. I would like to remind all Members, as well as future Members, to uphold the public spirit and make the laws of the country and undertake the development of the country...... I have great expectations for the Citizens' Assembly......"
After Yi Xingchen's speech, the speaker of the parliament came to the stage and thanked the emperor for his support to the parliament, saying that the parliament must be for the country and the people, formulate laws that are in line with the will of the people of the empire, and resolutely not harm the interests of the country.
Speaker Dala then read out the details of the parliamentary elections, which serve as a code of conduct and procedures for the election of members of parliament. After that, the parliamentary elections were announced, and the official opening began. Within a month, the country will set up a poll box.
Yi Xingchen specifically allowed the parliament to use telegraphs to elect members. The major newspapers of the empire also published a report related to the election of parliamentarians. He tried to spread the idea of elections throughout the empire.
Not only that, Yi Xingchen also had the idea of establishing a radio station and establishing listening centers in major cities across the country.
The establishment of a radio station in the Xinghua Empire was an important tool for the unification of the empire. With the radio station, the voice of the Emperor and the Cabinet will reach every corner of the Empire. There is also the benefit of cultural unity, Yi Xingchen also wants to unify language and writing, and radio stations are excellent tools.
Today, there is no shortage of radio station operators in the Xinghua Empire. Blue Mercury Xinghua Island TV Station has been established for more than half a year and has already cultivated many talents. It should not be difficult to transfer some talents from Xinghua Island TV station and establish the Imperial Radio station first. As for the equipment, the equipment is procured directly in China.
Western Regions, Lou Lan Country, Lou Lan City.
Nearly 10,000 Roman legionary troops lined up neatly in front of the gates of Lou Lan City. In fact, more than 100 trebuchets are loaded with boulders and can be launched at any time.
In the palace of King Lou Lan, King Lou Lan hid in the main hall, trembling.
"We might as well surrender!" Lou Lanwang said worriedly.
The goal of the Romans was to sack Lou Lan City. Once we open the gates, what awaits us will be the wrecklessness of the Romans. Lou Lan's minister objected.
When Lou Lanwang heard this, he was terrified, "Then what should we do?"
"Your Majesty, you should fight back. "The ministers expect King Lou Lan to go to the city gate and lead Lou Lan's defenders against the Roman bandits.
It's a pity that King Lou Lan has never been a king who dares to go to the front line in person. Otherwise, he would not have given in to Anhua City. At the end of the day, he's a man who is afraid of death, and he's also an otaku. He spent most of his life hiding in the royal palace.
Therefore, King Lou Lan refused.
On Lou Lan City, the defenders had panic on their faces, but none of them retreated.
Because of the inaction of King Lou Lan, the intentions of the Romans, and the propaganda of people with intentions, became a fact known to passers-by. When behind him was his own family, the defenders stood firmly on the city wall and swore to defend it. Today, Lou Lancheng relies on the belief of protecting his relatives to support his own indomitability and resist the enemy army. If the Roman legions had announced that they would not plunder the city, but only the kings and nobles, perhaps the people would not have had the idea of fighting to the death.
Dirac rode on horseback, looked at the bleak Lou Lan City, smiled, and said, "This city has no soul. β
"My lord, why don't we open the city gates?" asked one of the subordinate officers, puzzled.
"Do you think they're going to open the gates and let us in?" said Dirac.
For the Roman legions, the king of Lou Lan would not be deceived if he had the slightest brain. Dirac and other officers of the Roman legion did not know that Lou Lan Guo had experienced the blow of the Xinghua Expeditionary Force, and that Lou Lan Army had been abolished. Therefore, Dirac and they strongly believe that if they do not show the strength of the military horse army, the people of Lou Lan Country will not let them rob.
This was also the main factor in the Roman legion's rejection of Lou Lan's emissary, after all, the Roman legion did not need a small contribution, but wanted to loot a city. Normal people would not open the door of their house and let others go in and rob them.
"How's that going?" Dirac asked.
"It's going to take another day. The subordinate replied.
"I don't want to waste my time. Dirac dissatisfied.
"Yes, please rest assured, it will only be fast, not slow!" the subordinate replied
