"Void?"

"It's the same as the Elta Empire before and after the 'Prince Breaks the Covenant'." The staff officer smiled and summed up the same situation faced by the two countries at different times and to different degrees, "We can give opportunities to backward, ignorant, and erroneous rulers, but I'm afraid we won't give them more than once." With a second time, we try to make them understand what the cost of making mistakes willfully is. ”

That's true. As a king, he would rather let his legal system stop at his children and grandchildren, and be established by others as a country, rather than see his country being actually changed in a state where the name is retained, and even the tradition, the country name, etc.

What is more serious than this is that the country that changes everyone but does not change its name is better than its own children and grandchildren, and even better than when it was governed. If it is better to change the dynasty, the heroic spirit of the emperor can also praise the heroes of the generations, who is going to today. But the name of the country is still one's own, but the one who is in charge of affairs is not his own family - not even the nobles.

It's just such a group of mud legs, "cultured" mud legs, who dare to come to power and discuss the country? If Charles, the former emperor of the Elta Empire, suddenly poked his head out of a corner of Garcia City and saw this scene, he would have to die of anger on the spot.

But if you don't, the Elta Empire will be left with no name. Naturally, the dead don't take the name seriously, but what about the living?

Walking through the ruins is not an easy task.

As soon as the annual leave is over, it is not only the soldiers and builders who are busy planning the next war, but also the last link that forms a complete new Elta empire is also working hard to close. Laws such as the Currency Law of the Elta Empire and the Marriage Law of the Eta Empire, which have been audited since the beginning of the year, are being closely audited. The Constitution of the Elta Empire, which has completed three rounds of additions, deletions and audits, has also been officially declared "complete" and can be opened to the public in full details.

This is part of the constitution that was implemented during the period. From the first day of January of the following year, the most powerful chief executive of the Elta Empire will be the Prime Minister, and will no longer be the Emperor of the Elta Empire. The election of the Prime Minister is ultimately determined by the members of the National Assembly, and this election elects the President and Deputy Speaker at the same time.

In order to be a candidate for parliamentary elections in the Elta Empire, one must first have the nationality of the Elta Empire, sufficient to be called a "national of the Elta Empire" - that is, natural persons who are not of the nationality of the Elta Empire cannot be included. This seemingly natural regulation is also a fuse for China itself to prevent political forces from hijacking Elta's political circles across borders and then undermining the existing established order.

Being at least 18 years old, having no criminal record, and having a diploma in lower secondary education are all unremarkable. The qualifications for the diploma are mainly set in consideration of modern political ideas, and the understanding of the National Assembly related to voting proposals and enacting regulations, and the age and criminal record requirements are long-established facts and practices in the modern parliament and the National Assembly.

Members of the Council are elected from among the eligible candidates in their constituencies according to their place of origin. This was the cornerstone of the representative system adopted by the Elta Empire, and all the cabinets, state organs, laws and regulations were born.

Members of the National Assembly are re-elected for a term of four years, and will not be dissolved in advance unless there are very special conditions. Day-to-day projects include the annual budget audit, the review of new laws and regulations, and the election of the prime minister every four years, all of which are included in the regular annual Diet.

When the Extraordinary Diet is not normally held, as long as a quarter of the members agree to convene an extraordinary Diet to deal with serious and urgent problems such as war, natural disasters, etc., then the conditions for holding the Extraordinary Diet are met. In addition, if more than two-thirds of the members are not present, the resolution of the plenary meeting shall be deemed null and void; The removal of a member of parliament and the introduction of a constitutional amendment further limit the criteria for non-attendance to one-third, and the two items must be approved by at least two-thirds of those present.

At first glance, there is not much difference between the future Elta Imperial Congress and the modern parliament that adopts a Western representative system. The constitution also retains the "interface" of the two houses of the Senate, the upper and lower houses, to throw out amendments precisely at some point in the future.

This, of course, is the "final stage" marked by the Constitution. The point in time is eight years later - the current Elta Empire, where even the executive power has not penetrated to the grassroots level, how can we establish constituencies and elect parliamentarians who represent the interests of the people in that place? How can the people, accustomed to living in the shadow of the empty "emperor" on the top of the distant mountain and the bureaucrats under him, truly believe in their own value and start to contribute to the improvement of society, instead of being once again confused by the petty favors of some people and obediently surrendering the votes that determine their own destiny?

The Elta people have no experience, but fortunately, the Chinese have enough experience. Undoubtedly, both the Chinese side and the Elta leadership know very well that this representative system is not really "boiling" for the Elta people, but allows the administrative forces that have failed to penetrate the grassroots level of the Elta Empire for hundreds or thousands of years to dissipate all the local forces that are "rock-solid and sincere cooperation" against the central government, and then establish an efficient and real-time administrative system in the countryside and cities.

And that's going to take time. In order for the people to understand the election of members, they must first understand the meaning of the words on the pamphlets and billboards. And before they can read the meaning of the words, they need to recognize the letters. The latter is statistically distinguished from the former by "relative" and "absolute". To this day, Elta's "absolute" literacy rate is pitifully low, that is, people who can't read the alphabet can account for 40% of all people.

Someone has to do the work of literacy. But the work of eradicating illiteracy, as well as the work of sanitation and food and clothing, is part of the "government affairs", so how will Elta transition in the eight years before the realization of the content of the constitution? This is the "transitional government" part of the Constitution. In this part, the Emperor had the right to dismiss any Elta government official, including the Cabinet, by direct appointment, under the direction of his advisers, beyond the Cabinet; the power to sign laws so that they can be put into effect; It even has the right to directly oppose and withdraw the resolution adopted by the Cabinet...... It can be said that in the formal government after the transitional government, the National Assembly assumed the role of the highest organ of power. And during the Transitional Government...... The power vacuum caused by the lack of a role in the parliament was naturally borne by the emperor and the various advisory groups behind the emperor.

There was probably only one restriction on the Emperor: Emperor Elta could not amend the Constitution. At the end of the constitution, there was also an explicit clause that the emperor must cede power to the parliament after eight years, at which time the law would automatically take effect.

Of course, Doniva Siravia will not regard these laws as a great disrespect to him - it is still a restrictive device that he has put on himself, even to remove officials from the cabinet, it is only at the suggestion of Chinese advisers that he does it. As soon as the Elta Imperial Congress is formed, he will immediately lose his direct interference in the political situation as he wishes, hand over everything to the law, and the parliament under the regulation of the law will happily receive a "pension" that can be fed and clothed, and become a figure who will remain in history and is still praised by the people...... Why not?

Although he sometimes felt that he had lost power, Emperor Doniva was relieved to think that all the power was now given to him by people from another world. There's no other reason - people from other worlds want to do it themselves, and it's good for everyone and for themselves, so why not?

It's just that there are people who don't want to do it.

"Does this seem to mean to severely limit His Majesty's power?"

In a villa on the southern outskirts of Duncheng, a man and a woman, an old and a young, sat and talked side by side. And on the table between the two of them, there was an open copy of the Constitution of the Elta Empire.

"Of course. Within eight years, His Majesty was left with the power to appoint officials for a limited period of time. The woman sitting in the second seat replied respectfully. As for eight years, after the end of the era of the 'Provisional Government', the Emperor of the Elta Empire will truly become a royal decoration. ”

"Really meow and play the piano!" Behind him was a whole wall of aristocratic heraldic blankets, and the old man angrily tapped his cane on the floor, "Appoint officials, you can only appoint officials." No matter how much we owe him the Michehaki family, he should remember the old and give us a proper seat! How is it that by now, not only has the due reward not come, but the rights and interests of the nobles have been cut into a dead letter? ”

The Michehaki family is one of the traditional nobles of Cielta, and the Michehaki family head Fenmir Michehaki, who sits here, can be said to play an extremely important role in Doniva's foothold and even development in Cierta. It can be said that without him, or if Fenmere does not want to help the down-and-out royal family from the capital, there is no way to do anything in this place.

As soon as Elta's war with the Church of the Two Moons ended, some of the "enlightened nobles" and Doniva lost their common external pressures and turned to non-cooperation, even minor confrontation. Of course, Doniva is against a whole group of nobles, and the weapons and ammunition used are "self-destructing" - when the emperor has cut himself into a dog, are you embarrassed not to file yourself?

Even the royal family was exonerated, and Doniva laughed and trampled this rule to pieces. Although the Constitution of Elta was formed some time after the war, its main thrust was already implemented in the various organs and departments of Cierta. When the Western Expeditionary Army retreated, the remaining royal family of the former Elta Empire were pulled out one by one by the little dolls who were all over the puzzle pieces, and many of them were directly sentenced to death. The charges were simple - they had dealt with and even directly involved the group of civilians that Elta should not have captured.

Of course, at that time, the nobles who were close to Emperor Doniva did not take this matter seriously at all. The royal family is in civil strife, and the cubs of the enemy can stay? Dirty power struggles and nothing more...... Aristocrats, what is there in the royal family that is not dirty? It's not weird.

"Fenmere, Donivata is the same." The woman beside Fenmere yawned, "I think his only weakness is his sister, Princess Pine." As for the others, Femmer, have you forgotten? How was the Bowwitt case in Shield City handled? ”

"The Hazefinger family has no noble backers." Fenmere touched his beard twice, seemingly casually, "Nona, it sounds like you're reluctant to take Bezesara seriously." ”

Nona's brows furrowed on the spot: "What do you mean by taking it seriously?" It's just a fox out of a civilian pile. Wait, Fenmere, you don't really take her seriously, do you? ”

Doniva's affair is also gradually beginning to surface in Cierta. The open and secret battle between Nona, the last descendant of the former eastern aristocracy, and Bezesala, a commoner of the Western Elta Empire and now the interpreter of the Elta Imperial Government, is now clearly a victory for Bezesara - it is rumored that Doniva will marry her in May, and then ...... Never take a concubine.

The power of this rumor can be said to be decisive. The battle under the stage of the palace is logically undefeated - the loser will at least be included in the harem, and there will always be a chance to turn the tables. But now that the Elta Imperial Marriage Law is about to be enacted, even Doniva, the king of a country, is unable and unwilling to circumvent the constitution and evade the regulation of the law - that is, unless he divorces Bezesara or Bezesara dies, Nona has no chance of reversing the defeat.

"You and her, we didn't take it seriously." Fenmere smiled subtly, "All we care about is power, the power in the hands of His Majesty Emperor Doniva, and we are not interested in other superfluous people and things. ”

Under the provisions of the new constitution of the Elta Empire, nobility has been completely transformed into a title, a title that represents honor and prestige. And then what? The aristocracy's right to exoneration was crushed to pieces by a simple phrase "all men are equal"; The nobles' domains were quietly deprived, and the right to collect taxes was confined to the "state-led tax authorities".

With such a set of combination skills, don't talk about leftovers. Even the broth, the nobles could not drink a few drops - in fact, even the backlash of the nobles was considered within the established facts.

"If you want power, won't you ask for it yourself?" New hatred and old hatred came to her heart at the same time, and Nona was naturally a little overwhelmed. "Do you think you're going to keep pushing me to get close to His Majesty Doniva, do you think that will change his mind?"

"There's no way." Under the gloomy canopy, the light shining through the windows was also seriously insufficient, making Fenmere and the coat of arms behind him look extra dim, "The current nobles only have the ability to fight by this means." Nona, if you can't succeed, then you can only marry into the hands of non-nobles, right? Think about it yourself—"
