Datong, as soon as the "Datong Constitutional Law" was promulgated, the local general elections began immediately, and the forces of all parties could not wait for more than half a year - the Liberal Party was rich and powerful, not only to consolidate its position as the largest party in the Federation, but also to try to gain more seats and official positions, spending a lot of money to brag about the achievements of its own party, the Civic Party has many powerful people, but there are too few scholars to find a few talents, following the Liberal Party's ass and shouting, striving for a piece of the pie, as for some other small parties such as the Workers' Party and the Small Peasant Party, the strength is still too weak, and they are content to show their faces.

The Liberal Party that dares to challenge is the People First Party, which is dominated by the local gentry, and has indeed done a lot of good things over the years. Liu Zongzhou and Sun Qifeng put forward the party's policy program -- emphasizing the basics and suppressing the last, reducing taxes and increasing taxes, supplementing agriculture with business, and improving people's livelihood.

The People First Party got off to a good start, and for a time it was quite supported by the country gentry and farmers, but the pig teammates appeared - the new Central Secretary of the People First Party Wang Yingxiong couldn't keep his mouth shut, and together with a group of loyal ministers and filial sons of the Ming Dynasty, they constantly denounced Datong for indiscriminate and unruly loyalty and filial piety, and threatened to return to education after winning the election. The Liberal Party seized the handle to accuse the People First Party of dreaming of restoring the Ming Dynasty, and the "Liberty Daily" also broke the news that there was a god card of Concubine Qi in the temple of Taichang Temple in Nanjing, which stated that Zhu Laosi was born to Concubine Qi, not that he said that he was the son of Queen Ma, and the Ming Emperor who advocated education did not even recognize his mother, what does the so-called education have to do with loyalty and filial piety? The "Citizen" then poked out the Taiyuan Prefecture private division of the city tax case, and the voters immediately shouted, and the local trial and criminal judge responded to the public opinion and invited dozens of backbone members of the People First Party, including the Taiyuan prefect candidate, to tea. The Civic Party candidate Malik finally has a chance, the young man is the grandson of the grand imam of Hami, Mahad, who was transferred from the presidential palace to Shanxi two years ago, and has made great achievements in building water conservancy, and took advantage of the weakness to be elected as the prefect of Taiyuan.

The People First Party has lost its old nest and the army is in great turmoil, the defeat in the local elections has been revealed, and the prospects for running for the federal Senate and House of Representatives are naturally bleak. Liu Zongzhou and Sun Qi were powerless to return to the sky, and at the same time submitted their resignations to the party, which caused turmoil in the party, and the old guys scolded the voters for being stupid and ignorant of loyalty and patriotism, and they quit the party and returned to their hometowns, and the young party members were here to make a future, and they were unwilling to give up halfway, and held an emergency meeting in Taiyuan to elect Zhang Zhiyao, the secretary of the Central Committee of the People's Party and the political envoy of Shanxi, to take charge of party affairs.

In mid-September, after the local elections and the subsequent election of the Bundestag, the Liberals won more than half of the seats and retained their position as the largest party. After losing the general election, the People First Party House members were shameless, and walked into the meeting hall hand in hand with the House of Representatives of the People First Party, headed by Gao He, who proudly announced: The People First Party has officially merged into the People First Party, and he himself is the newly elected prime minister of the Party -- the Liberal Party was taken aback, and the People First Party will inevitably increase in strength if it absorbs the People First Party, and if its wings are stiff, I am afraid that it will have to go it alone, but the Liberal Party has not had time to take care of the Civic Party, and they have caused infighting.

Li Yu was elected president of the Federation, the governor of the metropolitan government, and the president of the Senate without any suspense, and Batur became vice president, and the election of the Senate, the Grand Law Division, and the Criminal Division was also smooth, but the Prime Minister's Office was unexpectedly difficult to give birth - the presidential office's nomination of the Liberal Party prime minister candidate Wu Xian spoke out and refused to nominate his party comrade Han Mingde for re-election as the governor of the Department of Taxation, and at the same time threatened to use the veto power of the Prime Minister's Office to oust Huang Da, the governor of the banknote bureau selected by the Chamber of Commerce.

Han Mingde was born to be a profiteer, to introduce landlords to fill the land to the name of the clan to evade taxes as a common business, and even boldly forged official documents to evade taxes, Wu Xian wanted to clean him up when he was the governor of Shanxi, but Han Mingde had many eyes and ears in the officialdom, and when he heard the news, he fled to the border and defected to his fellow villager Li Jianji, after the Datong army entered Shanxi, Li Jianji had the intention to expand his power, and felt that this guy was good at tax evasion and tax evasion, and he must be able to do a good job in tax collection, so he recommended him to take Fan Yongdou's class as the governor of the tax department. Huang Da is not a good thing, this person is a native of Taizhou, Yangzhou, and he is doing a lot of money business in his hometown - smuggling copper money to Japan for silver, and the silver is transported back to Jianghuai to exchange for gold, and then the gold is exchanged for silver from the hands of the Taixi people, using the price difference to profit from it, and when the crime is crazy, he even entangled the lawbreakers to steal the treasury of the Nanjing Baoquan Bureau. God is too unfair, people like Han Mingde and Huang Da can still shine brightly, Wu Xian has long been unpleasant, but whether they can move them has to be decided by the Liberal Party bosses.

Bao Zhen, the prime minister of the Liberal Party and vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, is also a native of Taizhou, Yangzhou Prefecture, of course, he will not let his fellow villagers suffer, and he is furious at Wu Xian: "Wu Luyou, you have the ability to find someone who understands money and business, if you dare to veto Huang Da, you don't want to be the prime minister." ”

"Wu Luyou, Han Mingde is older than you, he has made remarkable achievements in taking charge of the Taxation Department, and the tax revenue is expected to reach five million this year, why are you holding on to other people's braids, the party's resolution cannot be changed, you must nominate Han Mingde." Li Jianji, the head of the Liberal Party's affairs, was also enraged and jumped up to speak for his own people.

"A gentleman is not in the company of villains, not to mention Huang and Han's generation, the Prime Minister's Mansion is not a place to hide filth and dirt, Wu does not follow the chaos of life, and this prime minister is not appropriate." Wu Yu replied lightly.

"You probably want to say that our party is hiding dirt, Wu Xian, you have always looked down on us businessmen, and you want to get rid of the Liberal Party when your wings are stiff, so get out of here as soon as possible!" Sun Tingyao, the party inspector of the Liberal Party, was a little annoyed.

Wu Xian laughed, walked to the front desk and said loudly: "The Chamber of Commerce is lawless, forming a party to manipulate state affairs, recruiting troops for its minions, building a bank banknote bureau to issue banknotes and minting coins, and setting up an arbitration office to cut off commercial affairs, known as " The Second Prime Minister's Office', for more than ten years, has relied on power to run industry and commerce, and the merchants have made great profits and accumulated countless family fortunes, while the citizens of our federation are struggling to make a living, foolishly thinking that industrial and commercial coins are the important affairs of the country, and the rights and interests belong to all citizens, how can they be entrusted to the hands of the merchants, for the long-term peace and stability of the Datong Federation, propose to the monarchs to dissolve the Chamber of Commerce, and the cashier office is state-owned. ”

This guy eats inside and out, and the businessmen don't say a word about the good things they do, but they say all the bad things, which is clearly provoking trouble, and the Liberal Party grits its teeth with hatred, but the House of Representatives of the small party is instigated and stands up to accuse the Chamber of Commerce.

"The rich man of the Chamber of Commerce is not benevolent to the rich, his wages are small, and he treats people as cattle and horses, even the women and children who work, which is simply too bad!" The Workers' Party (WP) House of Representatives said that this was a bit unreasonable, and that all the citizens of Datong had received military training and had weapons in every house, so who would dare to provoke them, but the Workers' Party was worried that the refugees who had fled into the country would take their jobs, and they often bullied the foreigners who worked.

"The concession company of the Chamber of Commerce indiscriminately kills locals overseas and robs other people's land, how can we be so tyrannical as a country of freedom, equality and benevolence!" The Small Peasant Party and the Liberal Party have no grievances, and they have pulled out the that has nothing to do with a dime, and I have never seen them so kind.

"They are still deceiving people, boasting that they can lobby the House of Representatives to agree to send troops to Sichuan to suppress thieves, but there is no movement yet." Long Wenguang, the governor of Sichuan on the jury, couldn't help it, and with tears in his eyes, he accused Qin Shang of how he tricked him into making a contract, trying to take Sichuan's Jingyan and the Yangtze River waterway into his hands - Sun Tingyao's face was red, and the Qin Shang Group's ghost idea was to give Sun Kewang as much time as possible to crack down on the local forces in Sichuan, so that they could monopolize Sichuan industry and commerce in the future, how could they lobby the House of Representatives.

The Liberal Party became the target of public criticism, the Civic Party remained neutral to see the excitement, the new speaker of the Parliament, Wang Jimo, the former governor of Xuanda, took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, and several small parties took turns to fight and scolded the Liberal Party to the point of blood, Bao Zhen was mad, glared at Wu Shan and said fiercely: "Wu Luyou, I won't make any noise, let's go to the Dafa Division to fight a lawsuit." ”

Ortai, the former chief judge of the Grand Law Division, was transferred to the vice president of the Senate to carry out Senate affairs, Zhang Pengyun returned to his hometown, and Bai Yuzhu was transferred to the Shaanxi branch of the Great Law Division. The nine chief judges discussed the case together: the two sides had clear demands, the Liberal Party demanded that Wu Xian be disqualified as a prime minister, that the parliament directly vote on the prime minister nominated by the Liberal Party and the officials of various departments, and that Wu Xian demand the dissolution of the Chamber of Commerce and that the Bank Money Bureau be placed under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office - the facts of the case are simple, but the provisions of the relevant provisions of the "Datong Constitutional Law" are relatively vague, and it seems to be beyond the jurisdiction of the Grand Law Division, and there have been no similar cases before, so it is a headache to deal with.

"The Grand Law Division only decides right and wrong, does not ask anything else, and refuses to let them find the presidential palace, and the Liberal Party has turned the infighting into a state affair, which is simply cocking its tail to the sky." Wei Jingyu said angrily, and Omulun and Guo Linsheng immediately nodded in agreement.

"It's not proper, since this case is related to state affairs, it can't be delayed for a day, so it's better to ask the presidential palace to convene the two governments, two courts, and two legal divisions to hear it together." Temur shook his head.

The Presidential Palace, the Prime Minister's Office, the House of Representatives, the Senate, the Grand Law Division, and the Criminal Trial Division will try cases at the highest level in Datong, but the Grand Justice Division feels that it can't afford to lose face, and the Prime Minister's Office is still an empty shelf, so Timur's proposal was naturally vetoed, and everyone turned their attention to Wang Ying, who is proficient in Song law, and has learned Yuan law from Ortai, and has studied the judicial process very deeply.

Wang Ying thought for a moment and said: "It is foolish to think that Datong implements precedent decision-making, law, justice and good customs are the basis for the trial, there is no situation that cannot be followed, and all disputes should be accepted, this case is the first case involving the Constitution, and the trial result has a far-reaching impact, and it is related to the authority of the Grand Law Division, and it must not be shirked." ”

"Ziheng is right, even for the sake of the future of the Grand Law Division, we must also accept this case, as for whether it is under the jurisdiction of the Grand Law Division, we can also make some articles in the judgment." Zhu Yiqian, the old qualification, nodded.

Liu Tianren, the new chief judge, looked out the window for a while, and finally made up his mind: "The Grand Law Division accepts this case, but it is a matter of state affairs that cannot be delayed, so you will stay up all night tonight to try the case." ”

On the afternoon of the next day, Wang Ying and Omulun read out the judgment in the House of Representatives: The "Datong Constitutional Law" came from public discussion and is the foundation of the eternal solidity of the Federation, but the world is changeable, and the law is inevitably omission...... since the Grand Law Division has been instructed to decide on constitutional law disputes, there are provisions according to the articles, and there are no provisions according to the principles of justice and justice to interpret and adapt, the Grand Law Division believes that according to the "Datong Constitutional Law", it is the right of the Presidential Office to nominate the Prime Minister to the House of Representatives, and it is the right of the Prime Minister to nominate officials of the Prime Minister's Office to the House of Representatives. The status quo of the Banknote Bureau has become an inherent pattern of the Federation, and any change is a creation, and creation is the right of the House of Representatives. Therefore, the Liberal Party, as the majority party, has the right to nominate and dismiss candidates for prime minister, but it should propose to the Presidential Office, and the officials of the departments and bureaus of the Prime Minister's Office should also nominate to the House of Representatives through their own party's candidates for prime minister, and must not ask the House of Representatives to vote directly.

After the reading was completed, the two big judges laughed a few times and slipped away - the old slippery head, it does not hurt half of the fur of both sides, so that people have no way to refute, the verdict of this case is a precedent, the Grand Law Division not only got rid of the trouble, but also took the opportunity to poach the right to interpret the constitution from the House of Representatives, and sat on the pattern of the coexistence of the judiciary and the legislature and government affairs.

When King Fu ascended the throne, the Datong Federation sent a letter to Nanjing in the name of Li Yu, expressing his willingness to respect the Ming Emperor, but the courtiers regarded Datong as deviant and more sinister than the Qing court and thieves, and at the same time worried that Datong would hold King Xiaoding hostage and covet the imperial system, and they were always hostile to Datong. However, the situation changed abruptly, Jiangxi announced that it would join the Datong Federation and expel the court officials, and then Chen Hongfan ran back from Beijing to report that the Qing court refused to negotiate peace and detained Zuo Maodi, Ma Shaoyu and other envoys except him. The internal and external difficulties are coming, the Nanjing court remembered to improve relations with Datong, so it sent the former trilateral governor Yu Yinggui to the rank of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and Chen Zilong to send an envoy to Datong with the military department - this errand is not easy to do, Datong people did not give the two envoys a good face, the original Datong governor's office has been replaced with the "Federal Trial Division" brand, people simply ignore them, the prime minister's office is in the general election to send them to naturalize to find the presidential palace, and the presidential palace refused to accept the edict on the grounds that the edict has not been reviewed and voted by the House of Representatives, and was kicked around like a ball. Chen Zilong was angry and asked to see Li Yu, but he didn't see anyone, but he was forcibly taken back to Datong by Zhao Ji and Li Jiantai.

The House of Representatives is still staging a farce, the Liberal Party announced in public the revocation of Wu Xian's party position and expulsion from the party, Wu Xian simply fought with Bao Zhen and Li Jianji to the end, Li Jiantai and Zhao Ji accompanied the court envoys to the door, and the quarrel was forced to stop - the scholar should have face, and the people of the court can not see or not, Wu Xian and Wang Jimo and a group of former high-ranking officials of the court slipped out of the chamber.

"My emperor has a decree, and the ministers kneel down to receive the decree...... Chen Zilong walked to the front desk and shouted, but found that the people in the audience sat still, and a wave of anger suddenly surged, pointing at everyone and shouting angrily, "You are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and you dare to be disrespectful to the king, and you don't want to make a big salute!" ”

No one responded, but looked at him like a fool, Chen Zilong was so angry that he almost had a seizure, Yu Yinggui pushed him, and whispered "Datong did not kneel and bow, it would be good to sit down and listen", and then read the edict with a smile - Li Yu, the marquis of Cha Guihua, is brave and peerless, and has the heart to serve the country, and the first emperor also has praise in Japan, and the emperor is generous and rewarding, and he is specially named the king of Zhendong, the governor of Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi military and political affairs, and the imperial court in Henan, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Sichuan has a strategy, that is, to send officials to give preferential treatment, All the armies of Datong should return to the north and send troops to restore the rivers and mountains as soon as possible.

The Nanjing Imperial Court wanted to snatch food from our mouths when it gave us a small profit, and sent us to merge with the Qing Dynasty, thinking beautifully! The House of Representatives in the audience was enraged:

"His Royal Highness King Ding, the widow of the first emperor, is in Datong, and the orthodoxy of the world belongs to me, and the private Fu King of Nanjing is a puppet dynasty, and Datong will never be edicted!"

"Khalkha, the Western Regions, Tibet, and the West Sea only obey the federal president who inherits the authority of the Mongol Great Khan, and the Ming court is a fart, and if you are not convinced, you will fight."

"Nanjing's money and the eastern captives, the land and the peace, the Manchu Dynasty is all rebellious, and they don't want to give orders to us."

"The Nanjing Imperial Court levied violently, and sent an additional 500,000 taels in addition to the three salaries, which is not as good as the Dongyu, and the people of Jiangxi have no way to live, and they would rather fight than obey the edict!"

"Henan does not obey the edict!"

"Hubei is not edicted!"

"Sichuan does not obey the edict!"

……

Chen Zilong is the leader of the Restoration Society, and he has always been able to speak well, but at this time he didn't even have a chance to talk back, and scolded angrily, "Three hundred years of Ming monks, how many rebels there are", hid his face and cried away.

"It's none of my business, the Nanjing courtiers blamed me for losing the towns on the three sides, and kept letting me sit on the cold bench, and only temporarily gave me the title of envoy to Datong, I was really wronged!" Yu Yinggui shouted with resentment, and ran away after Chen Zilong.

After driving out the Nanjing envoys, the House of Representatives boasted to each other as if they had won the battle, but Gao He gathered the members of the Civic Party and quietly discussed for a while, and then strode to the front desk to make a solemn speech.

"Gentlemen, the Nanjing Imperial Court dares to force us just to rely on the imperial system in hand, and my Datong is the destiny of heaven and must be justified, so the Civic Party proposes to support His Royal Highness Dingwang to ascend the throne," before the words were finished, it caused a burst of laughter, which was indeed ridiculous, and the Civic Party, formerly known as the White Lotus Sect, actually wanted to carry out restoration, and even Gao He himself couldn't help but want to laugh, and only after fixing his mind did he say, "Don't misunderstand, gentlemen, in fact, my party's idea is like this......"

After Gao He finished speaking, the audience immediately burst into applause, and even Bao Zhen sighed that the brains of the Civic Party are rotten, and this kind of ghost idea can be thought of.

"Enough is enough, now it's time for me to speak." Zhao Ji had been sitting on the bench and watching coldly, and then finally spoke.
