Chapter 757: Treatment of Honorary Nationals of the First Class
Robbie is a stubborn and reasoned guy, and sometimes he doesn't even make sense, otherwise he wouldn't be the first to stand up in parliament and bombard Bentley. It was up to him to judge Bentley, and he didn't care whether Bentley was the only son of Old Roy or not, he only cared whether Bentley broke the law or not, and whether he was punished or not.
Things turned out as Zhao Changshu expected, and after the trial, Bentley was hanged, which was a public execution. The gallows were set up in the central square of the Imperial City, in front of the Provisional Council Hall.
Bentley staged a coup d'état here, and here he went to his demise, and he deserved to die.
At the time of the execution, Zhao Changshu went to see it. He wanted to see for himself how this inhuman thing was hung from the gallows.
When Bingley was taken under the gallows, his face was pale with fright, his legs trembled, and he couldn't even walk, but kept muttering: "You can't kill me, I'm a prince, I want to see my father, my father has loved me the most since he was a child, he won't kill me, he won't kill me!"
Bentley was as neurotic, blind, just repeating the phrase over and over again.
Zhao Changlan was mixed in the crowd and looked at Bentley's embarrassed appearance, and a somewhat distorted pleasure rose in his heart, that is, this bastard let so many good brothers lose their lives, injured injuries, Bentley is indeed innocent!
In the end, Bentley was put on the gallows by the executioners, who pressed him by the body and put the noose around his neck. Bentley struggled, and his muttering turned into a loud shout: "I want to see my father!"
No one paid attention to his rants, and he was eventually hoisted high and went where he was supposed to be.
Royal Hospital.
King Roy, who had just improved his body, suddenly felt his heart twitch for a while, and he seemed to hear the cry of his son Bingley.
"Brute, who made you do such a unconscionable thing!" said King Roy, closing his eyes and thinking silently in his heart, two lines of cloudy tears streaming down his increasingly old face.
"Roy, you're crying, you're grieving for Bentley? Actually, you can pardon Bentley. Princess Lin on the bed next to her said.
After King Roy's health improved slightly, he insisted that the doctor arrange him and Princess Lin in a ward, and the doctor could only obey his orders.
"Aifei, you are wrong. I'm not sad about Bentley's life, I'm sad about the loss of the father-son relationship between us, and I'm actually responsible for that. Alas!" King Roy let out a long sigh.
Just then, there were several knocks at the door.
"Come in. Princess Lin said softly, and then he saw Zhao Changshu push the door open from the outside and walk in.
"Finished?" asked King Roy, hesitating.
"It's over. Is there a lot of reluctance in His Majesty's heart?" Zhao Changshu sat down in front of King Roy's hospital bed, nodded to Princess Lin first, and said hello before saying to King Roy.
King Roy didn't answer, just closed his eyes again. His eyes were filled with tears again, after all, Bingley was his own son, and they had a beautiful father-son relationship.
"Roy, have you ever wondered why you and Bingley are the way they are? Zhao Changshu looked at the tears in the corners of Roy's eyes and said lightly. When he was alone with Roy Sr., he always called Roy Sr. by his first name.
"Power. Roy said in a deep voice.
"Yes, it's power. In the 5,000-year history of China, I don't know how many times fathers, sons and brothers have killed each other. The reason for this is none other than the word "right". It is these two words that swallow up the father-son relationship between you and Bentley little by little, and in the end only the pursuit of power is left. Zhao Changshu said calmly.
Roy looked at Zhao Changshu thoughtfully and said, "What do you want to say?"
"If you don't decentralize power, what happens between you and Bentley today may happen someday in the future. If you want to avoid such a thing, there is only one way, and make the Kingdom of Pico a true constitutional monarchy. Disperse the highly centralized royal power. The king is only a shopkeeper. This will also be good for your recovery. Zhao Changshu said to Roy without any scruples.
Roy was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Changshu to say this to him today, this question, in fact, Zhao Tianlong told him when he was prime minister before, and he also gave Zhao Tianlong a lot of rights at that time, but he never let out the most fundamental rights.
No one in power wants to give up their power.
If it was before, if Zhao Changshu said such things to King Roy, King Roy would definitely be unhappy and even reprimand Zhao Changlan, but today, King Roy fell into deep thought.
First Bentley imprisoned him, and now he himself sent Bentley to the gallows, which really had to be thought about.
Zhao Changshu did not stay in the ward for long, and got up and left after finishing speaking.
"Roy, I think Zhao Changlan's words are very reasonable, power is important, but I think family affection is more important than power. I don't want our children to be sent to the gallows by you one day in the future!" Princess Lin said as she touched her stomach with her hand after seeing Zhao Changshu leave.
Roy looked at Princess Lin's belly, which had not yet bulged, and fell into deep thought.
A day later, King Roy signed the King's Decree, and the whole country of the Peake Kingdom held a public election, as a result, Zhao Ziwei was elected as the Prime Minister of the Peake Kingdom, reorganized the parliament, and amended the Bill of Rights?????? The Kingdom of Pico began a huge transformation from top to bottom, from a monarchy to a true constitutional monarchy. The head of state, King Roy, is no longer specifically concerned with state affairs, but only serves as honorary leader.
"Aifei, will you blame me for doing this? In the future, when our little baby grows up, there will be no absolute power. ”
In the royal hospital, King Roy asked Princess Lin with a smile on his face.
"I only hope that in the future, you two can share the joy of family, so that you don't care about power or power! I'm afraid that Ziwei is still young and can't afford to find a burden!" Princess Lin shrugged and said to King Roy.
"Hehe, don't worry, don't look at Ziwei as just a little girl, this child's heart is big! I have seen a lot of winds and waves, and the huge Tianlong Consortium can manage it, not to mention the small Piqué Kingdom!"
Half a month later, the United Nations General Assembly convened as scheduled, due to the continuous efforts of the previous Kingdom of Pique, China, and the International Committee of the Red Cross, at the United Nations General Assembly, when the vote on whether to admit the Kingdom of Pique as a new member, the number of affirmative votes exceeded two-thirds of the total number of votes, and the Kingdom of Pique successfully became a member of the United Nations.
When the news reached the Kingdom of Pique, the whole country celebrated, and Zhao Ziwei's prestige increased unprecedentedly, because this was the result of her continuous efforts in the international arena before.
After all, the Pique Kingdom is a small country with a permanent population of only more than 30,000 people, and there is no problem of accumulation and difficulty in returning, and this reform is approved by the king himself, from top to bottom, so it is very successful and very fast.
A month later, everything in the kingdom of Pico was in full swing. Bidding for giant oil fields is also on the agenda again. Can the Kingdom of Pico take off again after the earthquake, and still count on this big oil field!
After their unremitting efforts, PetroChina finally won the right to exploit the oil field, and they produced technology and labor, but the extracted oil could only be sold to the Piqué Kingdom. And the price is two-thirds lower than the market price.
This condition seems to be a bit harsh, but in fact, Hua Petroleum has made a lot of money. You must know that the oil fields they purchased in Iraq were also sold by PetroChina to the Southern Petroleum Company of Iraq for only $2 per barrel! The international oil price at this time was $105 per barrel! The difference is that PetroChina will charge a service fee of $1.3 per barrel in the process.
Compare it with this data, and you can know how much Hua Guo made in this deal with the Pique Kingdom.
The most important thing is that the existence of the Pico Kingdom, as well as the ambiguous relationship between the Pico Kingdom and Huaguo, make it a pair of eyes for Huaguo at the door of M country, and its strategic location is extremely important.
During this time, Zhao Changshu and the brothers of the Poison Dragon Society had hardly been busy. Zhao Changshu stayed in the hospital almost every day to accompany his injured brothers.
Hung's injury has gradually improved, and he is able to move freely, but he is not yet able to do strenuous exercise. More than a dozen other injured brothers have largely recovered.
Since Zhao Lance and the brothers of the Poison Dragon Society played a great role in this coup, Old Roy wanted to reward Zhao Lance and the brothers of the Poison Dragon Society in the name of the king.
After Zhao Changshu learned the news from his sister, he immediately asked, "How much money does Old Roy plan to give me?"
Zhao Ziwei rolled her eyes at her brother and said, "Brother, why do you think of money when you talk about awards?
Zhao Changshu smiled at his sister and said, "He doesn't give me money, what do you give me? In order to help the Piqué Kingdom, I spent so much money, shouldn't he give me some kickbacks? No, I have to talk to Old Roy about this." ”
Besides, now that the Piqu Kingdom is being rebuilt after the earthquake, how much money will cost you, and where will there be money to reward you!" Zhao Ziwei said angrily, as if she was wholeheartedly for the people of the Piqu Kingdom.
"Then what will old Roy reward me and my brothers? He will reward me with a group of maids, and I can't afford to raise them!" Zhao said with his hands outstretched.
"The first-class honorary citizen of the Piqué Kingdom! This honor is glorious enough, right? You must know that in the entire Piqué Kingdom, only our father has ever gotten!" Zhao Ziwei said with some pride.
"What? First Class Honorary Citizen? What do I want to do with that? I don't want to be the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Pique. No, I'll have to go to Roy Sr. and ask him to give me another reward. "Zhao Changlan is really leaving.
"Brother, don't you know yet? First-class honorary citizens have privileges! You can enjoy the treatment of a king and marry eight wives!"
