Chapter 172: Negation, Negation, Negation

(1st Update)

Today's regular meeting of the Senior Council was presided over by Vice President Shen Jiaben, and after Pu Lun said that he was not sick, the new executive vice president did not stop for a day, and he was anxious for several days, while dealing with the excitement of the parliamentarians, while pushing the agenda forward with difficulty, and he was busy with everything else, and the whole person sat on the rostrum with his head.

"It's time for deliberations, so I ask the parliamentarians to ask questions."

Shen Jiaben announced in a loud voice, and as soon as he heard this, several government commissioners suddenly looked like they were facing a great enemy, and their expressions were highly nervous.

However, this time their response was somewhat in vain, and there was no opposition on the scene within a few minutes, and compared with other bills, the "Anti-Secession Law" is more aimed at external troubles, and the controversy is relatively small, so it seems that this time it should be able to pass through the risk.

"Good Father"

Yang Du turned his head and smiled, the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.

Ye Kai held his breath and didn't answer, it won't be over until the end, this is Ye Kai's habit and behavior, because there are too many things that have been dramatically reversed at the last moment, and he needs to be warned.

Sure enough, just when everyone thought that there was nothing to question about this bill, suddenly, an untimely voice sounded from a corner.

"This Member of Parliament is not familiar with the term 'state of emergency' in the Anti-Secession Law, and I would like to ask the Commissioner to explain it in detail."

Yang Du's ease instantly came to naught, and his fingers curled up involuntarily.

One man's voice managed to attract everyone's attention, and the full circle of councillors began to wake up, constantly rummaging through the draft documents in their hands, trying to find that sensitive word.

This is a bad sign.

Under the watchful eye, the commissioner of the Constitutional Editorial Office began to explain: "'State of emergency' refers to a state of temporary grave crisis that occurs or is about to occur in the frontiers or provinces, such as invasion by foreign enemies, rebellion, incitement to independence, and territorial conquest, when the central government, the governors of the provinces, or the relevant state affairs organs may, in accordance with the authority prescribed by law, decide and declare a temporary state of grave crisis to be imposed in a local area or throughout the country, in which the imperial court may take special measures to restrict the people's ability to move, such as curfews and clearancesor mobilize all forces in the place where the incident occurred in accordance with the law, and compel local citizens to provide certain labor or property with or without compensation, such as requisitioning people's resources, material resources, and financial resources, and members of society are also obliged to cooperate with the measures taken by the government during the state of emergency to respond to and resolve emergencies. ”

"I heard what the commissioner just said, under this state of emergency, the government can expropriate all the material resources and property of the people without compensation, doesn't it mean that once the local people are in turmoil, the local people will go bankrupt, become pawns, and ghosts in front of them, and the people of our country are innocent! The city gate was on fire, and the pond fish were actually made to suffer. The congressman who spoke just now cried out in pain.

"The government infringes on the legitimate property of the people in the name of the government, and this is the act of the evil government, and the provisions of this evil law stipulate that if it is passed, the people will hang upside down forever, and our country will sink forever.

The congressman's questioning caused quite a commotion in the venue, and many people began to raise their voices and echo it, and the four words of the state of emergency became extremely evil and continued to ferment in everyone's hearts.

Negation! Negation! Negation!

The crowd was excited, and the officials of the Constitutional Editing and Revision Hall in the commissioner's seat were directly stunned on the spot, and they all opened their mouths slightly, not knowing what to say.

"Members of parliament have misunderstood, this state of emergency is not aimed at the people, but an expedient measure to deal with external threats, and besides, this is also an extraordinary law of last resort, and the conditions for application are strictly limited, and it is not always available."

The voice of the Constitutional Editing Hall was drowned out in the roaring torrent, and the neighing argument was exchanged for the sneers of the audience.

"I said that this lord, let the people go bankrupt, once is not enough, and I want it several times, if the people of a province go through this state of emergency, tens of millions of people will suffer and suffer for life, this is worth it!"

"Humph! I would like to ask, if the country is breached at that time, and you and other people in the corpse position are ruined and relieved, I wonder if you will be the first to rush to the front and be the martyr of the evil law! ”

A series of questions poured down on the commissioner's desk like cannonballs, and they were all stunned, their throats as if they were stuffed with cotton, and it was really difficult to argue.

"This, this"

Dozens of elected legislators stood up, raised their eyebrows coldly, and shouted in unison, "If anyone defends this evil law, he is a wicked person!" If there is any more person who defends the department that has established this evil law, he will be the head of the wicked! ”

Button down such a big hat, see who else can dare to say "no".

The voice was established, and the audience thundered with joy and applause, as if it had become a circus in the big world.

"Members of parliament, be quiet, be quiet, and don't disrupt the order of the venue."

Shen Jiaben kept slapping the table to suppress this boiling emotion, and his gray beard kept shaking, this was not the first time he had done such a thing.

"What else does the commissioner have to say?"

A group of people bowed their heads and were silent, thinking that they should end it quickly, anyway, this "evil law" was also designated by the officials of the Editing Hall, and it had nothing to do with them.

Shen Jiaben shook his head, smiled bitterly, and then turned his head back to the front and asked, "Do the parliamentarians have anything else to say?" ”

Yang Du stood up.

"This member is a member of the Constitutional Editorial Hall, President Shen, please allow me to say a word on behalf of the Constitutional Editorial Hall."

Shen Jiaben nodded and gestured to continue.

There was silence in the venue, countless pairs of eyes stared at it, and many people whispered, Yang Du, isn't this Yang Sanlang who convened the Congress, how could he speak for the government?

"This member is the office of the Constitutional Editorial Museum, and the "Anti-National Secession Law" was compiled by me and several senators, and if you want to say that the government is good or evil, people in the court do not want to mention it, but if you want to say that this law is an evil law, I will never agree with it!"

As soon as he came up, Yang Du showed his attitude, although this law was proposed by Ye Kai himself, but the most painstaking thing was Yang Du, in the past month, he had read a lot of Eastern and Western books and copywriting, and it was only after the two of them had worked hard for a long time to write this law, and the "state of emergency" was also written by the two of them for a long time.

"In the past 30 years, the external troubles in the frontier have become increasingly severe, Britain, Russia, France, and Japan have coveted our borders for a long time, and the imperial court is busy with the new policy, and its financial resources are already stretched, and it is afraid that it will not be able to deal with the separatist forces, so I ordered myself to formulate this law, the purpose of which is to mobilize all forces to resist foreign enemies and internal strife.

"Councilor Yang, do you think it's right for the evil government to steal people's property in the name of officials?" As soon as Yang Du finished speaking, someone immediately retorted.

"This councilor, you are often evil to the government, evil to the court, do you have to be evil for this government, do you have to be evil for this law, how can this subjective assumption represent the truth, if you have to say so, then what you just said, I can't agree with it!" Yang Du sneered at each other and said in an almost mocking tone.

There were many discussions in the venue, Ye Kai sat next to Yang Du, not only did he not stop him, but he was also very supportive in his heart, if only one voice existed, it would be difficult to guarantee that this law would not be stillborn, and the Information Administration Yuan would also become a hall of words.

Although the councillor who was humiliated in public did not dare to squeak anymore, there were still many people behind him, and the vast majority of those who agreed with his views were also in the majority.

"Lord Yang, this councilor noticed that you are both a member of the King James Council and an official of the Editing Hall, then it is not surprising that you say this, as we all know, the King James Councilor is appointed by the imperial court, and cannot represent the will of the people, so to speak, it is just to do things for the imperial court, and it is just the eyes and ears of the imperial court.

All the guns were aimed at Yang Du in unison, especially his identity, and the title of the councilor in his mouth became more dazzling "Lord Yang".

"There is one more thing, please think about it, the legislative power of all countries is in the House of Representatives, only I am a country, and the legislative power is not in the House, but in the Imperial Court, that is, the corner of the Constitutional Editorial Office, so this Congressman may ask Lord Yang, should this legislative power be in the Senior Yuan, or should it be in your Lord Yang's Constitutional Editorial Hall?"

As soon as the words fell, Yang Du was speechless for a while. (To be continued.) )
