On Friday, May 16, 1636, the first round of caucuses for the House of Representatives election to Congress ended.

Compared with previous elections, the number of candidates in the House of Representatives this time is significantly smaller, and the caucuses went extremely smoothly. There is not much discrepancy with the information held by most people, and under Wu Yuan's intensive and active organization, Zhang Mingcheng's future status as speaker of the House of Representatives is basically a matter of ironclad, and another wave of people who "can't twist their arms and thighs" have also adopted a gentle and humble attitude and have not had any quarrels.

I have long known that these "young people" will definitely connect in private, and the old people who have made a powerful pass do not have much ability to interfere except for a wry smile, and procedural justice in this situation is in line with the rules. After learning the results of the first round of preliminary voting, the old man Liu Mingjun had insomnia on the hospital bed all night, except for a more silent and tired expression, the old man did not say a word more.

Now, after a realignment of disruptive connections and circles, the terms "progressive," "liberal," "centrist," and "conservative" have become clearer in many people's minds.

With the resignation of Dong Jiunan and Liu Baidong from the Senate, the so-called former state-owned faction with a large number of scandalous records has been torn apart, and the few technical talents in the circle have also left to start their own businesses. Instead, it was a large number of people gathered by the "national progress consciousness" advocated by Wu Yuanyi.

With such a gold-lettered signboard and leader, there is no way for people who can mix in the state-owned group to prepare to "change their minds and face and be angry." A considerable number of them are unlucky people who were disappointed in the collective scandal a few months ago, and of course there are many neutrals who were impressed by the South African Development Forum, and there are still many progressives.

The ex-privatists, who were mainly private entrepreneurs in finance and trade, were also affected, but under the concept of self-reliance, autonomy and freedom, a small number of ex-nationalists who were unlucky enough to be tied up with the former privateists were persuaded to join the liberals. However, a very small number of people quietly changed their stance against Wu Yuanyi's appetite for "persuasion and propaganda".

In and out, the number of liberals does not seem to fluctuate much on the surface, but the real strength is weaker than before. The main loss is some business tycoons dominated by professional and technical talents such as Lin Youde, Jiang Zhaolong, and You Qi. After experiencing internal scandals, he finally put himself in the right position and returned to a neutral position, watching the various reactions between progressives and liberals, and becoming a low-key but must not be ignored force.

The conservatives, led by old politicians such as Bao Zitu and Qi Jianjun, can be regarded as falling to an even more "unpopular" point after this national reform action of "righteous annihilation".

Although there are a few older elves behind them, it is clear that in the next few years, the conservatives who have completed a major internal grooming will not be able to interfere too much in the affairs of the young men except to hold the last Senate fortress. But it must be mentioned. Until the effects of the internal scandal have fully dissipated, the military has clearly shown more kindness and trust in conservatives.

On Monday, May 19, an official vote was held. The list of 40 members of the House of Representatives has landed, and compared with the previous terms, there are 18 progressives, and the number has shrunk significantly, falling below half for the first time. There are 14 liberals, and the proportion has risen rapidly. There are only 2 conservatives. It's bleak. The remaining 6 are completely neutral.

The former state-owned parliamentary structure has changed dramatically, but it has also maintained a slim majority, and it is clear that it was reached through a series of private compromises. This is just the right ratio of factions. It leaves room for procedural mediation when any type of issue that is likely to reach a stalemate in the future, and it is the beginning of the neutral faction having a key voice.

Zhang Mingcheng was easily elected speaker of the House of Representatives, and then after a day of meetings. Zhang Mingcheng and Senate Speaker Bao Zitu submitted two nominations to President Li Ping for the new prime minister: one is Tang Ke, the former governor of Songzhou, an old conservative with honest duties and rich administrative experience; The other is Wu Yuanyi. The former governor of Nanshan, who has a senior resume and is active and aggressive.

The two nominations were bound to be another vote, but even Tang Ke himself considered himself to be a mere decoration, and the result confirmed everyone's suspicions, and Wu Yuan Yishun was elected as the new prime minister. The impact of the black riot incident caused by the governor of Nanshan caused by Wu Yuanyi before, this time surprisingly no one came forward to publicize it.

Calm and harmony is probably the keynote of this year's early House of Representatives election and cabinet reshuffle, which is expected and tastes like chewing wax.

On Friday, May 30, after the last ten days of calm and calm, the caretaker cabinet led by Qi Jianjun officially announced its dissolution, and the leadership of the cabinet was transferred to Wu Yuanyi. The list of members of the new cabinet, which Wu Yuan drew up early on, was submitted to both houses of the National Assembly as early as the day after the House of Representatives election ended.

Qi Jianjun declined Mr. Wu's offer to become minister of civil affairs and will soon move to his farm in Heping City, Haizhou, to recuperate and prepare for the Senate election in two years' time.

Zheng Quan, whose firm and resolute style and relationship with the military, was still valued by Wu Yuanyi and continued to serve as defense minister.

Mi Valley, the intelligence chief and arms smuggler who has been floating in Europe for more than a decade, finally sat in the position of secretary of homeland security this time. Unlike the "sneaky" Liu Yun, who is full of oily brains, Mi Gu's personality is more introverted and calm, and he is more decisive. As for Liu Yun's next move after leaving office, no one knows, but when it comes to drilling ability, no one will worry that Liu Yun will not find food.

Liu Xin, one of the few young conservatives, resigned as finance minister before the election, and instead entered the House of Representatives and continued to serve in the SASAC. No matter how many departments Liu Xin has made unhappy, his professional administrative ability and stereotyped attitude of looking at money bags for everyone are the most reassuring people in the current state of internal "mutual distrust" continues to intensify. The new finance minister is Zhou Qifeng, who has served as the Minister of Commerce of the Cabinet for two consecutive terms.

Su Zining has resigned from the post of foreign minister ahead of schedule, and this time he has replaced the vacancy in the Senate, and for the first time "willingly" started a career politician. Yan Xiaosong, who had been a vice minister for more than ten years, was finally corrected, and Shi Wenbo, who had always held the title of European consul general in the Azores, was pulled back by Wu Yuanyi to become the vice minister of foreign affairs.

Liu Lanxi is no longer the police minister this time, and chose to teach at the Capital Police Academy. The post of police minister was taken over by Feng Bin, a former retired army officer. Feng Bin was a policeman before the catastrophe, but after the crossing, he didn't mix well in the army, and many of his subordinates who were less qualified than him back then were climbing up. And he sat in the position of president of the Army at West Point for many years. After knowing that the Chinese and American Army under the leadership of Lieutenant General Chen Liwen had little future, Feng Bin chose to retire with the rank of colonel and continued to work as a policeman.

The biggest surprise was that Hong Changlin, the former state-owned minister of industry, refused the invitation to stay in office and went to Gangneung City instead. It is said that he had already negotiated with the mayor of Gangneung, Lim Chao-eun, to set up a large coal mining enterprise there, and a group of people who had withdrawn from the state-owned energy and mining group followed.

As for the personnel changes in other cabinet departments, they are scattered and do not fall within the scope of the attention of the general public.

……

Monday, June 2. Light rain.

Today is the first working day for the new Cabinet to officially start its work, and it is also the day for the new session of the House of Representatives. However, at such an important beginning, both in the Cabinet and in Congress, there were some absences.

In the special high-end ward of the National Hospital in Manchester City, Liu Mingjun, who had been hospitalized for more than a month, fell into a deep coma in the early hours of the morning. The 85-year-old policeman seemed to be asleep at this time, with only vague breaths between his snorts.

"Grandpa......"

"Grandpa......"

Zheng Quan and Liu Lanxi, who had been on guard all night, waited quietly in front of the hospital bed with their five children, and there were a number of visitors who came after receiving the news. Except for a few doctors and nurses who were still walking around and whispering, the adults in the ward remained silent. Only Liu Mingjun's grandchildren wept in front of the bed.

The eldest Liu Zhuhai, a Chinese orphan adopted by Zheng Quan and Liu Lanxi in 1626, is 17 years old this year and has studied at the Capital Police Academy. This child was personally taken out of the welfare home by Liu Mingjun back then. followed the old man's surname Liu, which can be regarded as inheriting the mantle of the old policeman.

The second eldest Liu Zhuhe, the first biological son of Zheng Quan and his wife, was born in 1623. He is only 13 years old this year and attends Manchester National High School. According to the private agreement between Liu Lanxi and Zheng Quan that year, the first biological son of the two must be surnamed Liu, regardless of gender.

The third Zheng Xuan. The eldest daughter of Zheng Quan and his wife, she was born in 1625 and is 11 years old this year, and has just graduated from a national elementary school.

The fourth Zheng Ting and the fifth Zheng Ying, the other two biological children of Zheng Quan and his wife, are only 9 and 7 years old respectively. Zheng Ting, Zheng Ying, and Zheng Wei are all regarded as the heirs of the Zheng family with the surname Zheng Quan.

The five children called the old man on the bed with different titles, but at this time, Liu Mingjun had lost any perception of the outside world except for his indifferent and calm expression.

"Natural failure of body organs...... Brother Liu has been tired for us for so many years, it's time to rest......"

As the person in charge of rescue treatment, former President Chen Yuanyuan touched the pulse of the dying old man, shook his head slightly, then took off his glasses, and only said to Zheng Quan and his wife in a tone of half regret and half relief.

As soon as the words came out, the five children beside the bed suddenly burst into tears, and Liu Lanxi even dragged her husband's arm, tears raining down.

"The pillars of the country, riding the crane away, is really the pain of the whole country...... However, the old pavilion is full of children and grandchildren, benevolent and filial piety in the world, famous in the sea, and died in old age, which is also a happy thing. Chang Kun, who has already served as the mayor of Jersey City, stood behind the crowd at this time, his sleeves touching the corners of his eyes, looking particularly heartbroken.

……

The next day, the obituary of Liu Mingjun, former speaker of the Senate, was published at the same time as the temporary additional issue.

The old citizens of Manchester City, who have been immigrating for more than ten years, fell silent with newspapers, especially the first batch of European immigrants who have been immigrating for 15 years, and they have taken their families to stand and pray outside the manor of Liu Mingjun.

Liu Mingjun refused the state funeral treatment after his death as early as a few years ago, privately appointed a number of funeral mourners, and even donated all the $100,000 savings in his name to the Manchester City Welfare Institute and the Capital National University in his will. The death of the first and oldest old man since the catastrophe has caused an indescribable sadness.

However, even so, the Congress still forcibly appointed the representative of the old man Liu Mingjun to support the coffin, and the coffin was buried in the most secluded corner of the national cemetery, and all the funeral expenses were earmarked by the cabinet.

As a descendant of the surname Liu, Liu Lanxi took her sons Liu Zhuhai and Liu Zhuhe, holding a black and white photo taken by the old man a few years ago, which could not be smaller, and walked at the front of the funeral procession. The coffin bearers included Liu Lao's son-in-law Zheng Quan, former Premier Qi Jianjun, former President Chen Yuanyuan, and current Premier Wu Yuanyi.

The funeral was low-key, simple and dull, as one of the funeral people personally designated by Liu Lao in front of him, Su Zining and Yan Xiaosong could only choose to follow silently behind the team at this time.

"The Senate has passed, the amendments have been reviewed, and the preliminary vote in the House of Representatives has passed, and the efficiency has been surprisingly high in the past few days......," Su Zining, who was already a senator, whispered to his friends in the slowly moving stream, "The adjustment of the functions and powers of the Congress and the Cabinet is a big step completed, and next, it is probably the proposal submitted by Wu Yuanyi to adjust the restrictions on the industrial policy of overseas territories, and the Oriental Union Group and the future African Development Group will each take what they need." ”

"Will the National Security Council object?" Looking at the coffin on the carriage in the distance, Yan Xiaosong showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, "It should have been the plan you put forward with Qi Jianjun back then, and the result of the discussion between the old men, right?" Even the name was later hung under the name of the National Security Council. ”

"It's pointless to oppose it, or it's a little bit looking forward to seeing what Lao Wu can do." Su Zining smiled and brushed away the white paper money that fell on his shoulder, and exhaled softly, "And it's obvious that Lao Wu has reached an agreement with Bao Zitu, Zhang Mingcheng, and Ren Changle." Sooner or later, this kind of policy restriction will be lifted, it is only a matter of the size of the lifting process and the speed of time. ”

"Well, as soon as Lao Wu came, he threw a few good things out, and people from all factions had very high expectations for him...... By the way, I came back from Virginia last week, and there was basically no problem there, and the peaceful evolution went fairly smoothly. Yan Xiaosong quietly pointed to the guide and lowered his voice, "They are willing to guide the local freedmen to choose self-government and completely break away from the English royal family at the 'right' time, but they demand that the local council still be retained at that time." Hehe, interestingly, we haven't started the local council politics ourselves, and they have taken the lead as soon as they come, and we seem to be 'backward' in comparison. ”

"Interesting, this is a signal to force the reform of domestic politics." Su Zining was also stunned when he heard this, "We were thinking about how to eat it without putting in the effort, but we didn't expect that there would be such a 'side effect'." Looking back, we have to refer to the 17th-century local politics of the English colonies. ”

I don't know when, the funeral procession stopped advancing, probably the front funeral has begun, people have left the line and leaned forward, wanting to witness the last burial ceremony of the old man Liu Mingjun. (To be continued)
