Chapter 348: Establishment of the Code
Time always secretly sped up his pace when others weren't paying attention, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the founding of the Morok Kingdom.
Before that, Wang Erhu, who had never made an official appearance, directly convened a meeting, and in addition to the people he brought over, there were also the last royal family of the Morok Kingdom, Marika Morok, and the last surviving general, Morrogan.
"The reason why I have come here today is that I have decided to continue to defend Marika's status as a royal daughter." As soon as Wang Erhu came, he directly picked out the topic, he doesn't like to beat around the bush, and the meeting must have the appearance of a meeting, and he must not always talk about some of the haves and haves and nots, and it is definitely the best way to go straight to the topic.
Everyone in the conference room was instantly stunned, since ancient times, imperial power has been an insurmountable and untouchable thing. Wang Erhu's move is unprecedented. The first thing the enlightened emperor did after he ascended the throne was to purge the old tribe, and only after the people with different surnames were cleansed would they feel at ease.
Morogan was even more surprised, Marika was still young, and only knew that this uncle who had replaced her father's throne was very kind, very amiable, and treated her very well, but he didn't know that this was digging into her family's old book and shaking what belonged to him.
He was very unwilling, as the last general of the kingdom, he was lucky, but he was unlucky. It was his duty and obligation to protect the country's territory and sovereignty, but at this time, Morok had already changed masters, he wanted to be decadent, and he wanted to slump from now on, but the young Marika, the last trace of the blood of the Morok royal family, was still there. Therefore, he did not dare to exile himself, and even forced himself to continue to grow up, and forced himself to continue to go deep into the construction of the kingdom to prepare for the restoration of the kingdom in the future.
It's just that he has begun to waver recently, because Wang Erhu's policy is very good, the people of the kingdom are doing well, and the future of the kingdom is also bright, and he is wondering whether he has done something wrong, whether he should let this young king and not have the heart to restore the country.
Now, he is even more confused, this is no longer the kingdom of His Majesty Morok, but the kingdom of His Majesty Wang Erhu, but he raised such a question at this time, why is this?
"Your Majesty, it is not in accordance with the law of etiquette to do this, there can be no two royal families in the country, and now that you are the emperor, then there will only be a royal family centered on you in the palace, and there must be no other royal family." The Prime Minister was the first to refrain from doing it, because once Wang Erhu's precedent was set, it would lead to future generations following suit, and it would be difficult for the imperial power to be concentrated at that time.
"Yes! Your Majesty, doing so will lead to the fall of imperial power! At this time, the old nobles also stood up, although they are no longer nobles, but the position is still there, after all, the ability is there, Wang Erhu needs to use them.
"......" Morrogan clenched his fists tightly, he wanted to stand up and scold those people, this is the kingdom of His Majesty Morok, the kingdom of His Royal Highness Marika Morok, not Wang Erhu's, he is an outsider.
But he didn't dare, not only because he couldn't beat him, but also because he couldn't convince himself to deny Wang Erhu's policy.
"Ahem, are you done? Am I getting your opinion? No, I'm just informing you, it's like a decree to be issued, and it's just for you to draw up a proper etiquette charter, which you know better than I do. Wang Erhu coughed, he didn't want the hand of friendship he extended to this continent for the first time to be severed like this, so he directly changed the matter that was originally taken out for discussion to be a finalized established fact.
"Your Majesty, this, no country has such a ceremonial charter! Since ancient times, the emperor has been the only one who went to worship the heavens and then ascended to the throne! "The Prime Minister had no choice, he originally thought that this young king would be a person who was easy to talk and even easy to control, but he did not expect that he would be so resolute and decisive, and he would never hesitate to give orders. It's hard to do!
"Yes! Your Majesty, this has never happened in history, so we don't know what to do! "Many ministers have expressed their incompetence, and it is clear that they are ready to shirk it. After all, between Wang Erhu and Marika, they directly ignored the young Marika, and chose Wang Erhu, if this happened today, it would be a disaster for them when Wang Daughter grew up, especially since there was a general behind her to support her.
"Since you don't have to get one out for me, there is one thing I need you to remember, this throne of mine was elected by the emperors of all the empires on the mainland, and I had no intention of taking this throne, but for the sake of those people, I accepted it. Also, Marika was originally the princess of this country and the best heir of this country, so she is qualified and has the right to support herself, the founding ceremony, it is not my kingdom that opens, but the people of the Morok Kingdom have become the kingdom of the Morok clan, I am just a passer-by who was forcibly pulled in, and it is no longer appropriate to forcibly intervene, let alone let the original owner of this country lose his rights again. Wang Erhu frowned, to be honest, he just wanted to be a person who only took money and didn't do anything, especially when he saw his wife working hard for the country, so he pushed Marika out.
Of course, all this will not start until she grows up and can handle government affairs, and now, he really can't leave the whole country running.
"......" The entire conference room fell silent in an instant, they were shocked, with their experience and experience, they really couldn't figure out what the purpose of Wang Erhu's move was? That's not realistic!
"Alright, do as I say! Marika is too young to participate in politics or decide anything, but she is treated like a princess, and when she grows up, the country must have her voice. Wang Erhu sighed, it seems that it is the same as he expected, in a country where imperial power is supreme, the alternation of new and old imperial power will definitely be full of blood, even if he automatically retreats to others, it will not be possible for you to back down.
From here, he also saw that it is difficult for the world to implement socialism, but it can still do some foreshadowing.
Now that the king had decided, it was difficult for them to say anything, so they had to start thinking about a plan.
Morogan's face turned red with excitement, he deserved to be a world-class hero, worthy of being a hero of the Morok Kingdom, and his mind was so broad. The Morok royal family will not be extinct, and there is hope for the Morok royal family.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Erhu and other ministers began to discuss the constitution of the founding ceremony.
In order to commemorate the contribution of the former king to the country, the country name is still Moroc, and Marika Moroc, the widow of the former king of the Moroc Kingdom, is the queen daughter of the country, and the princess has the right and obligation to participate in politics and has the right to veto. There is also a question of all the government affairs of contemporary kings.
And Morogan Murrogan, the former border general of the Morok Kingdom, directly became the protector general because of his defense of the country and his heroic fighting.
The meeting thus entered another climax, Wang Erhu proposed the establishment of a parliament, and the national parliament should be used to discuss and draft a plan for major state affairs, and then the king would make a decision, and finally the relevant departments would choose the action.
Such a decision was undoubtedly another depth charge that set off huge waves, but it was a great opportunity for the ministers to show their style, so it was the only thing that was directly passed by the whole of the local community.
This means that they will enter the political core in the future, which is definitely an unprecedented attempt, and even the previous unhappiness has been directly forgotten by them.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Erhu asked people to come up with a legal code, which strictly stipulated the national nature of the Morok Kingdom and the integrity of the kingdom's national territorial sovereignty. The rights granted to the people by the state and the obligations of the people are strictly stipulated, and even the obligations and responsibilities between slave owners are stipulated for the protection of slaves. The safety of the people's lives and property is strictly protected, and the laws of commerce, agriculture, industry, and nobility are strictly stipulated.
The entire codex was more than one meter thick, two meters wide, and three meters long, and had to be carried into the conference room by two people. Even flipping a book requires one person to be responsible.
Dixon and his little friends were in a cold sweat, because the code of laws was drafted and made by them together with His Majesty the Wise Emperor and the Empress and the other princesses, and of course the ministers with strange thoughts.
It is definitely a happy thing to be able to work with the emperor's family, Dixon, who was originally from the grassroots, feels that this is definitely the proudest moment in his life, but it is absolutely unthinkable to plan such a thing as ministers and nobles with the emperor, if it is known that there is their share, they will definitely die a miserable death.
It's just that to their surprise, those ministers began to get impatient in the first few pages of the code, and directly passed it by one vote, and even praised His Majesty Wang Erhu's unprecedented planning and vision.
This made these grassroots people breathe a sigh of relief, and it was good that they could get through it, but they were worried that these ministers would vomit three liters of blood after knowing the contents in the future?
However, this is no longer something they can manage, His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts are indeed unprecedented, and it is indeed the greatest mercy to the people of the entire Morok Kingdom and even those poor slaves, and he is the best emperor in this world.
Wang Erhu smiled and discussed some details with the ministers, and his heart had already been happy, his code was able to pass by some means, but all these old nobles were dragged into the water, no matter what kind of impact it would bring in the future, it would be a big thing and a small thing.
This is also the first time that he has spoken his voice to the world, and it is also to clarify his goals to them, and it is also to promise his people that he will do what he wants as promised.
The people of the Morok Kingdom did not know how lucky they were, to have a powerful king who was feared by the Holy See and other forces, a king who could ignore the threats and ideas of other forces, a king who could freely control his own country, change the nature of his country, and even no one dared to say a word, such a king led a country that was all strong, and the people led by such a country were undoubtedly strong and invincible.
It's just that such a country is still in its infancy, and there is still a long, long road to go for its prosperity, and it is destined to embark on a bumpy road as a maverick, depending on whether their king can smooth out these bumps and unevenness one by one......
