Chapter 171: Snatching power
(1st Update)
Facts have proved that Ye Kai's prediction is not wrong at all, the meeting has reached the seventh day, scolding the government has become a norm, although some rhetoric and remarks lack the necessary logic at all, but the voice of the parliamentarian still occupies the entire venue, and all people or things that disobey this voice are marked with a big cross, like a praying mantis that has been run over by a car print, and can no longer make a single word of defense.
In addition to the large number of people, there is another reason that you can't refuse: we are patriotic citizens, we represent the will of the people, and we make suggestions for the sake of this country, what's wrong?
Intentionally or not, the parliamentarians hold this kind of innocent mentality, the tide of wandering in the Senate is blowing more and more crooked, the meeting has evolved to the final stage, almost forming an unwritten convention, who first questions who is the warrior for the country and the people, who scolds more ruthlessly who will win everyone's applause, every time the meeting is held, a group of parliamentarians scramble, there is a Ming Dynasty imperial history to carry the coffin of the "backbone".
That is, driven by this trend, several draft laws have been difficult to deliver, and major and important cases have emerged one after another, such as the "stamp duty case" of the governor of Henan and the "bullying and oppression of the advisory bureau" by the governor of Guangxi.
The time limit of the meeting has been repeatedly delayed, and the bills that have not been dealt with in a few days have accumulated more and more, looking at the meeting schedule in his hand, Pu Lun, who is the speaker of the Senior Minister's Yuan, has a headache, he is also an enlightened constitutionalist, he has visited Europe and the United States, and is convinced of the benefits of the constitutional system, but sitting on the speaker's seat on a high place, Pu Lun felt for the first time what an invisible torment this is.
This meeting is no longer something he can lead.
As the speaker of the parliament, Pu Lun is still like this, and Zaifeng, who is in power behind the scenes, is also somewhat anxious, and the atmosphere of the venue inevitably reaches his ears, in addition to anxiety, a strong doubt is haunting him, isn't the Information Council a transitional body, how can he do these things that exceed his authority? In addition to not being able to elect a cabinet and amending the constitution, it seems that there is nothing lacking compared to a real parliament, right?
Zaifeng wanted to treat it as a compromise vase, but he didn't expect it to be a powder keg at all.
The Senior Administrator and the Imperial Court had a quarrel, which was contrary to everyone's original intentions, and after a few days of stuffiness, Zaifeng could no longer sit idly by, he had to do something, of course, it was obviously unrealistic to directly reprimand the parliamentarians, but fortunately, there was still a card in his hand as the chairman and vice chairman, he told Pu Lun and the executive vice speaker who presided over the meeting that the parliamentarians could not be allowed to deviate from the agenda, especially not to exceed their authority, and they should strictly abide by the order of the proceedings, and if necessary, some leaders could be expelled from the field.
originally thought it was foolproof, but the result was unbelievable, Zaifeng's order did not work when it came to Pu Lun, and his old nephew of the royal family did not follow the order, but politely refused.
Although he was angry in the Senior Administration, Pu Lun still replied on the recital: "The parliamentarians are enthusiastic and patriotic, and the public is in a vacant position, so it is not appropriate to intrude, and there are constant conflicts between the parliament and the government in Europe and the United States, and the regent is not a disease." In short, Pu Lun twisted around and hung himself to express a meaning: Isn't our Qing Dynasty going to establish a constitution, then we are what Europe and the United States are like, let them go if they want to speak, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little crime, the constitutional signboard promised can't be smashed.
A basin of cold water was poured on the fire, and the consequences can be imagined, when Zaifeng saw this reply, the fire in his heart suddenly flared up, how did you stand on the side of the parliamentarian with a royal family? Despite repeated urging, the effect was not obvious, and the angry Zaifeng angrily dismissed the vice speaker who presided over the meeting, not only beating Pu Lun hard, but also giving a warning to all those who have a bad heart, the Senior Council cannot be controlled by a group of ordinary people, at least not before the official establishment of the National Assembly.
The order was passed on, but I didn't expect Pu Lun to buy it, this time he didn't bother to speak, and he couldn't get sick the next day, and put on a posture of "I don't think I'm good at it, Speaker, your regent will go play in person", Zaifeng really can't do anything about him for a while, and what's worse, this is just the beginning.
As the agenda progressed, the friction between it and the government became greater and greater, and in the end, the inquiry desk of the Senate became the last place that officials wanted to come, and it was simply masochistic to be spat on by more than 100 people.
Of course, this trend is indispensable to the shadow of Zai Zhen and Yi-Xuan, they are guarding outside the Senior Council, but the small actions are one after another, and they deliberately put on a sympathetic face for the parliamentarians, although they cannot talk about leading the direction of the meeting, but they have played a solid role in fueling the flames, and soon, a wave of artificially created troubles rushed to these high-ranking government officials.
On the eighth day of the meeting, the word "harmony" still did not appear in the Senior Council, and after some arguing, the agenda came to this one with difficulty, to deliberate on the "Anti-National Secession Law" submitted by the Constitutional Editorial Office.
Everyone on the table had a draft document, and the parliamentarians were reading it intensely, especially certain sensitive words that would make a good argument for rebuttal, and for a short time, the commissioner on the question table trembled.
"Lianggong, do you think this draft will pass?"
Sitting on the seat of the elected councilor, Ye Kai and Yang Du muttered quietly.
"This case is from the hands of the skin, and the content is naturally impeccable, as for the final result?"
Half a day later, Ye Kai shook his head: "I don't know."
I don't know what Ye Kai's words made Yang Du's heart churn, since the last time the two discussed, the next direction of the Senior Administration Yuan is amazingly consistent with the latter's prediction, these days I have seen so much and heard so much, I can't tell the difference between half of the face of things, and many things are not said on the surface.
"This bill is aimed at external invasions on the frontier, and it has nothing to do with the previous bills, so there shouldn't be so many obstructions, right?"
Although Yang Du said so, to be honest, he was not sure, he was both lucky and worried, and he hid a worry in his heart.
On the other hand, Ye Kai was very calm, he didn't continue to discuss, and waited patiently for the result.
"It's useless to talk too much, Huizi, let's see what these councilors say."
Hearing this, Yang Du didn't say anything more, the case shook his head, and set his eyes in front. (To be continued.) )
