Chapter 227: The Prime Minister's Weakness

At this time, Wu Fan was in a cemetery in the suburbs.

He stood in front of a tombstone, the light and shadow of the setting sun, extremely beautiful, in the orange-red light, the tombstone was impressively written: Liu Hezhen's tomb, five sunken stone inscriptions.

'And Jane. Our vision has come true. The Great Song Dynasty achieved democracy and freedom. ’

In the distance of Wu Fan, next to the cemetery were a large number of security personnel, who looked at Wu Fan from a distance.

Wu Fan is the prime minister, and everywhere he goes, there is a lot of security protection. In order to give him privacy, the security personnel had to watch from a distance. Reporters and other things are not allowed to take pictures and report on them.

'Who is this man?' Why did the Prime Minister stand there for so long. ’

She was a friend of the former prime minister and an opponent of the former government. It is also said to be the prime minister's girlfriend. ’

Wu Fan put down a bouquet of flowers, "We have worked hard to get to where we are today. You have paid with your life, and I must let the children and grandchildren of the Great Song Dynasty remember your name.

I have decided to submit a bill to choose the day of your sacrifice as your day of remembrance. The country has a day off to commemorate you.

I know that your sacrifice is not compensated for by a memorial day.

But your spirit, I want the world to remember forever.

Remember that there is a woman in the Great Song Dynasty who is brave enough to move forward for freedom. ’

After speaking, Wu Fan stepped into the bulletproof car.

'Go back to the Prime Minister's Office. ’

Back at the Prime Minister's Office, Wu Fan originally thought of drafting a bill for Liu Hezhen's Memorial Day immediately. But then one of the staff came up and said,

'The Prime Minister is no good. Some people in the capital took to the streets to protest. They were a lot of landless peasants. They're angry at that new bill you approved. They said they lost their land because of that bill. ’

Wu Fan was puzzled, 'How could that bill cause the peasants to lose their land?' ’

The aide explained, 'That bill is good for people who own a lot of land. Those people don't have to worry about owning a lot of land and paying heavy taxes. Of course, the land that was originally leased out was repossessed. ’

Wu Fan hurriedly said. Then we'll change it right away. ’

The staff shook their heads. 'Mr. Prime Minister. I guess it's not that easy. ’

Why? I'm the president, so of course the bill can be changed. Wu Fan said puzzled.

The staff said, 'It's a democratic government now.'" You can draft bills. But the bill needs to be approved by Parliament. And now the parliament is mostly made up of landlord members. This kind of bill that is not good for them, they will not pass it for you. And do you remember that when you first took office, they asked you to hand in the previous bill to be changed? That is, it was because of the change of Li Yibai's bill that this trouble came out.

And our country can't change it overnight. In this way, the credibility of the government will be greatly reduced. There will be great opinions from all walks of life. In the future, others will play with our laws. ’

Wu Fan was born at the bottom and knew the suffering of the people, so he smashed the table angrily.

These magnates are truly hateful. As soon as I took office, I fell for them. I'm going to talk to them personally. ’

The staff shook their heads, 'Prime Minister. You'd better stop looking for them. I represent them. They sent me to persuade you to leave this matter alone.

But I think you should know something, so I'll explain it to you. ’

The staff also secretly laughed at Wu Fan's incompetence in their hearts. A man who didn't understand anything came to power and became prime minister. I'm a nerd at all, with no ideals and no administrative experience.

'No, I can't. Wu Fan walked around the office. I'm going to talk to them anyway. ’

'Prime Minister, in your cabinet, Zhou, Zhao, Li, and the three major ministers are all members of the big landlord class. The reason why they elected you to power is because you oppose Li Yibai. Opposing him will inevitably make it easy to introduce bills in their favor. So it's useless if you go. Our current government is the government of the upper classes. ’

Wu Fan ignored him. Straight to the Parliament.

The parliament building is not far from the Prime Minister's House, where there are about five hundred parliamentarians.

Of course, there are a hundred members of the House of Lords, and only three or four of them are important figures.

These three or four people are the most talkative, and they can lead a lot of people to veto everything.

The person Wu Fan wants to see is Zhao Xinfa. At the beginning, Zhao Xinfa supported his candidacy. When he was canvassing for votes on a national tour, Zhao Xinfa always stood by his side and stood for him.

And he had also heard that Zhao Xinfa spent a lot of money for his canvassing. There is also the act of spending money to buy tickets.

But he thinks it's only a small part of the story, and it doesn't have much impact. And he will definitely do a lot when he is elected. Such small imperfections are negligible.

After Wu Fan became the prime minister, Zhao Xinfa also became the president of the House of Lords.

It can be said that Zhao Xinfa is the biggest representative of the landlord class.

Entered the House of Lords building.

Because it was the prime minister who came, many people bowed and avoided it.

Wu Fan didn't have time to greet them, so he went straight to Zhao Xinfa's office.

'Prime Minister, why did you come to me personally?' If you have something to say, send someone to say hello directly. I'm going to go somewhere personally. Isn't this a matter of etiquette? ’

Zhao Xinfa was surprised when he saw Wu Fan coming.

After Wu Fan sat down, he said directly, "Dean Zhao, don't be polite. I came to you just to ask you what happened to the bill you asked me to change last time. ’

Zhao Xinfa's eyes rolled, he knew why Wu Fan was here.

With a wicked smile on his face, he said, "Mr. Prime Minister, the bill we asked for revision last time is fine." Our new Government is all about equality. Of course, we rich people shouldn't have to pay such high taxes. And when we brought it up, you agreed. ’

At that time, I was confused because you deceived me. Wu Fan said resentfully.

Zhao Xinfa hurriedly said, "You can't say that, you are the prime minister, you are a high and powerful position, and one person is above ten thousand people." Except for the emperor, you are the biggest. Of course, speaking should be a good word. Others just give you advice, and the decision is up to you. ’

Wu Fan said seriously, "That's good." I'm going to change this bill now and continue to change back to the original version of Li Yibai. Now I've made a new decision. ’

Zhao Xinfa smiled darkly, "No problem." Your Excellency the Prime Minister is full of words, and our subordinates dare to resist. I ask the Prime Minister to submit the draft bill to our House of Lords for review. ’

But ....... You have to give me a pass. Wu Fan ordered fiercely.

'Haha...... Prime Minister, you can't force me like that. I want to pass it, but as for what the other legislators have to vote on, it's not up to me. After all, a democratic society, as you know, one person, one vote, is no longer the same as before. Zhao Xinfa said with a slick smile.

"You ......" Wu Fan was furious. 'I know the whole House of Lords, the MPs listen to you. They see you as the leader. ’

'Prime Minister, don't talk nonsense. I don't have much power. It's just a show of hands like everyone else. It's all written in the Constitution. And Prime Minister, you can't force me like that. We are a democratic society where everyone is equal. Although you are my superior, I must respect you. But I also have my human rights, and if you threaten me like that, I can impeach you or sue you in the Supreme Court. It's not Li Yibai's era now. ’

After speaking, Zhao Xinfa smiled again.

'You ......' Wu Fan stood up, he was helpless. That's right, the constitution is clear and that everyone is equal. There is no longer a prime minister in the era of Li Yibai, who has all the power of life and death.

Zhao Xinfa still had that evil smile on his face.

That evil smile was deeply imprinted in Wu Fan's heart. At this moment, he was deeply aware of the shortcomings of a democratic society. It would be so difficult for him to do something.

Wu Fan had no choice but to leave.

After Wu Fan left.

Several other lawmakers came to Mr. Zhao's office.

Zhao Xinfa said arrogantly, "Hmph." We don't look at him as having a little bit of fame to exploit. He thought he could be prime minister. He's just one of our ponies. I really think I'm the master. ’

That's what Dean Zhao said. This change of dynasty will not change our interests. Ha ha. A councillor pandered.

'That's it. It's a good democracy. Previously we needed to beat around the bush against things. Now it can be directly opposed. And no one can help us. Ha ha. ’

Zhao Xin laughed wildly, revealing two big black teeth.

Wu Wangfu.

Li Yibai was watering the flowers, and Long Wu was standing aside.

'What's going on in politics lately?' ’

Long Wu said respectfully, "Recently, Wu Fan has introduced the bill, and many farmers have taken to the streets to protest. Now he is in a dilemma. On the one hand, the assembly of the landlord class did not allow him to amend the bill. On the one hand, the peasants at the bottom took to the streets to protest, but he could not suppress it. ’

'To be expected. He is a scholar, how can he know how to govern the country. Li Yibai said while watering.

'Daddy. When are we going to make a move. Long Wu said eagerly.

'What's the hurry. Wu Fan did it slowly, waiting for the people to get tired of him. Naturally, he stepped down. Many people will need to ask us to come to the stage. ’

Li Yibai smiled faintly.

But I fear that the fruits of our reforms will be lost in this way. Long Wu said worriedly.

'No, it won't. This democratic system also has a usefulness, that is, the government changes quickly. Whoever can't do it can quickly step down. I believe that in such a short period of time, the economic loss is not so much. Let's wait and see what happens. ’

'Daddy. I want to go to the United States. Li Xiaobai walked over and lowered his head and said.

'What are you doing in the United States?' Li Yibai asked.

'It's been a long time since I've been to Disney Amusement Park. You see how long I've been at home. This man is getting sick. Li Xiaobai said brutally.

Li Yibai glared at him angrily, 'Hmph. It wasn't because I was in a position of power that they were afraid of me. You're going to jail a long time ago. There is also a chance to talk casually here. Now you give me a little honesty, now it's not the same as it was at the beginning, I stepped down, you don't do anything wrong, no one can protect you. You are not allowed to go anywhere. ’

Miss Gong Er walked over, "Husband." Xiaobai has already changed it. You just let him go. Big deal, I'll go with him. (To be continued......)
