Chapter 751: Hands Up!
The parliament of the Pico Kingdom is nominally the parliament of the previous country, but due to the earthquake, the Pico Kingdom cannot even find a complete and decent place. Coupled with the turmoil in the Piqué Kingdom, this time the parliament has become very informal, and even looks a bit child's play.
The parliament hall is a temporary square building, made of light steel materials, with the assistance of country M, and the construction workers only took half a day to complete. Outside the building, there was a circle of heavily armed soldiers, all of whom had been arranged by Bentley, but they were all dressed in the uniforms of the Royal Guard, pretending to be the Royal Janissary.
Otherwise, it would be a bit nondescript for the Kingdom of Pique to convene a parliament, but to get a group of soldiers from country M to stand guard. Fortunately, everyone is of Western descent, and they all look similar, and no one can recognize them when they change their skins.
The furnishings in the council hall are also very simple, basically not decorated, with the rostrum in front and the seats of the councillors below. Presumably, Bentley had long expected that there might be discordant voices in the parliament, so he did not invite media reporters, and occasionally reporters who came to get the news were also sent away by Bentley in various ways.
News is all about after-the-fact shots, and Bentley understands this rule, and when the dust settles, it is time to invite reporters.
Bentley directly turned the council into a conclave. He had prepared his butcher's knife, and in the council, if anyone dared to stand up against him, he would not hesitate to chop the butcher's knife in his head in his hand.
In times of emergency, you have to use an iron hand! This is Bentley's belief. Of course, his main target is still Zhao Ziwei, if Zhao Ziwei is not taken down in the council, even if she can inherit the throne, she will keep making trouble for herself.
The meeting began at 8 a.m., and at 7:50 a.m., the members of the House entered the meeting room. Two guards stood at the door, searching every member who entered the room. The councillors were full of arguments and complaints, but the guards ignored their nagging and just went about their business.
Zhao Ziwei walked to the door, followed by Zhao Changshu and Michael, and walked to the door of the conference room, where the guards stopped them as usual. Zhao Changshu originally thought that the guards would leave him and Michael outside, but he didn't expect the guards to just leave the guns on their bodies, then looked at him deeply, and then didn't say anything, and let them enter the conference room directly!
"What the hell is going on, why can we go in?" said Michael, who had never liked to speak, with a sweeping look in his eyes. In his mind, the parliament of a country is a very sacred and majestic place. What he saw now was clearly much more than he expected.
Zhao Changshu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, maybe you want to wipe us out, right? ”
"What kind of council is this, I have the feeling that the boss of the underworld has convened a meeting of his subordinates?" Zhao Ziwei whispered to Zhao Changshu.
"Hehe, it's okay if it's really a regular gang gathering, Bentley is going to use force, and the national coup is much more serious than the gang rebellion. If you don't get it right, it's a chaotic war. Zhao Changshu whispered to his sister, and then turned his head to Michael beside him and said undoubtedly: "Look at my eyes later." ”
Michael is also a very arrogant guy, if it was before, Zhao Changshu spoke to him like this, he would definitely be disdainful, but now Michael is convinced by Zhao Changshu. Therefore, after listening to Zhao Changshu's words, he did not object, but just nodded lightly.
Zhao Ziwei walked into the venue, found her seat and sat down, Zhao Changshu and Michael stood behind her, as if they were two generals.
Zhao Changshu glanced at the surrounding councilors, and he found that the councilors who came in with bodyguards were not just his sister, but several. It seems that the sound of gunfire overnight and the turmoil of the situation have made these parliamentarians feel threatened.
At eight o'clock in the morning, when the council began on time, Bentley first made a short speech, which meant nothing more than to express his governance methods after becoming king, and how he led everyone to fight the earthquake and rebuild their homes.
After Bentley's words were finished, the official presiding over the council came to the stage and said: "Now begin to vote by show of hands, in favor of Prince Bingley's ascension as the next king." ”
Bentley set his sights on Zhao Ziwei's direction, and in his script, it was time for Zhao Ziwei to stand up and go crazy, and then he would take down their brother and sister in one fell swoop. Today's slightly less formal parliament is the bureau he made for the Zhao Changshu brothers and sisters. In order to get rid of these two siblings in one fell swoop!
Unexpectedly, as soon as the presiding official's words landed, it was not Zhao Ziwei who stood up and became angry, but another councilor: "I don't agree with Prince Bingley to succeed as king immediately." ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone looked at this councilor, even Zhao Changshu and Zhao Ziwei glanced at the councillor who spoke, they didn't think that in the current situation, there were still people who dared to oppose Bentley. He was the only son of King Roy, and it was not to blame that he had the right to inherit. If it weren't for Zhao Ziwei's already knowing that King Roy was still alive, even she would have no reason to object to Bentley's succession to the throne.
"Now that King Roy has not been found, I think the focus of our work should be on continuing to find King Roy and earthquake relief, rather than rushing to prepare for a new king to ascend the throne. ”
The councillor who spoke was called Robbie, and he only listened to him speak without being humble or silent.
Bentley's gaze suddenly turned to Robbie, and Robbie looked at Bentley fearlessly, and after about half a minute, Bentley said: "Commissioner Robbie, don't you think that only when our country has a new king can we better lead everyone to a great victory in earthquake relief?"
Robbie said fearlessly: "Your Royal Highness, to be honest, I don't think you can lead the people of the Pico Kingdom well. Since the earthquake, instead of focusing on finding King Roy and leading everyone to fight the earthquake relief, you have become obsessed with political struggles, turning the entire Pique Kingdom into a miasma, and there is a tense atmosphere everywhere. Do you think this is a normal national parliament? If you want to deny me, please explain what happened to the gunfire the day before yesterday and last night? Is our country invaded by a foreign enemy?"
As soon as Robbie finished speaking, there was a discussion all around, the kingdom of Pico is such a big place, they can't not have heard of the fierce battle that happened in the past two nights, it is impossible for them to have no ideas, and now they are ready to question Prince Bingley in the parliament.
After Robbie bombarded Prince Bingley, he immediately pointed the finger at Zhao Ziwei and said to Zhao Ziwei: "Miss Ziwei, I know that since the earthquake, you have done a lot of things, such as giving relief to the victims, asking for international assistance, and so on. But I would like to ask you to explain to you what the gunfire has been going on for the past two nights!"
Councilor Robbie had obviously secretly investigated the cause of the shootout, and this time he came prepared, so without waiting for Bentley and Zhao Ziwei to answer, he continued: "I don't know what kind of hatred there is between you and Prince Bingley, but now is a time of national crisis after all, and you are provoking a civil war at this time, which is destroying the Kingdom of Pique!"
After Robbie's words, the topic of the meeting immediately changed, and the original discussion of the king's succession suddenly turned into a denunciation of Prince Bingley and Zhao Ziwei.
Billy sat on the rostrum, just staring coldly at the commotion below, not saying a word, he was laughing at these guys in his heart, giving them the name of a councilor, and really treating himself as a dish, daring to say anything! No matter when, strength is the most important thing, and when they have had enough of arguing, he can shut them all up with a word.
Zhao Ziwei was a little breathless, just wanted to explain it to everyone, but felt that her brother standing behind her gently touched her back, and she immediately understood what her brother meant, so she also calmed down and looked at the messy councilor.
A group of parliamentarians saw that Bentley and Zhao Ziwei did not speak, and the discussion became even more fierce, citing scriptures and listing one crime after another on the heads of Bentley and Zhao Ziwei. Anyway, there is no media at today's meeting, and even if it breaks through the sky, I am afraid it will not be known to the outside world.
Zhao Ziwei is better, after all, she has been presiding over the earthquake relief work for the past two days, and Bentley has been forced to endure almost 80% of the spitting stars.
Zhao Ziwei was still breathless, Bentley couldn't hold his breath, he suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Shut up for me!"
Bingley is His Royal Highness the Prince, he slapped the table, and a group of parliamentarians stopped talking, but they looked at Bingley with a frosty face in a little stunned, and they didn't know what nerves he suddenly had.
"Since everyone wants an explanation, then I will give you an explanation. Don't you want to know what was going on with the gunfire the night before and yesterday evening? I tell you, I am exterminating traitors! Shouldn't we be exterminated when our country has traitors, who fornicate with foreign countries, and who betray national interests?" Bentley said loudly as he stared at Zhao Ziwei and Zhao Changlan.
"Who! who's a traitor?" asked Robbie subconsciously.
"Foreign Minister Zhao Ziwei! She and his brother Zhao Changlan stole national interests, and they deserve to die! Do you know what the real purpose of my meeting today is to arrest Zhao Ziwei! Come on! Take down the traitor Zhao Ziwei for me!" Bentley stood on the rostrum and shouted loudly.
The seven guards who had already prepared outside broke into the council hall with a cheer, pointed their guns at Zhao Ziwei and Zhao Changlan, and shouted: "Don't move! Raise your hands, whoever moves will be killed!"
The sudden change frightened a group of councillors, and their bodies did not dare to move, but only moved their eyes back and forth on Zhao Changshu and Bingley.
Bentley sat on the rostrum with a victorious attitude, and said to Zhao Ziwei with a sneer: "Zhao Ziwei, what else do you have to say this time? Let me tell you, this is the Piqué Kingdom! This is the country of my Roy family, not your Zhao family!"
"Bingley, you are also worthy of being called a member of the Roy family, you human-faced beast-hearted thing, let me ask you, why do you want to imprison King Roy?" Zhao Changlan, who had been standing behind Zhao Ziwei and did not speak, suddenly stood up and said.
