Chapter XIII Parliament

At 8:61 a.m. today, the 97th Ministerial Meeting of the Judiciary of Sulphur Hill City was held on time at the Supreme Court, and the meeting was presided over by the President of the Supreme Court.

The meeting decided that all the staff of the judicial organs should conscientiously study the documents of the city lord of Adam on the four struggles of the city of Sulphur Mountain, earnestly perform their duties and functions as judicial organs, abide by discipline and law, and carry out law enforcement work in accordance with laws and regulations.

At the meeting, Zuihou, the veteran pacesetter and model of the judicial system, and our most respected old judge, the Sleepless One, made an important speech, asking all party and government organs and staff to earnestly understand the spirit of the superiors and unite in the spirit of Anne. Levin is the core of the second generation of the Party Central Committee of Sulphur Mountain City, unwavering, not wavering, insisting on one core and two fulcrums

Okay, I can't make it up, except for Zuihou's sentence that makes Anne the boss, it's all a lie

"Don't say I'm a dictator, I'm here to ask for everyone's opinions. I'll tell you a big piece of news, and don't tell the outside world just yet. In the future, Annie, well, is the precious illegitimate daughter of Margaret and Adam, the future boss of Brimstone Mountain City, everyone has no opinion, if you have an opinion, if you have an opinion? Hehe, of course I'll be humble enough to accept opinions, well, just accept them. ”

Slandered those two fools without concealment, I thought that when this bombshell fell, they would be extremely shocked, but at this time, the Four Heavenly Kings sitting below were strangely and inexplicably silent.

They looked at each other, for a long time, you look at me, I look at you, zuihou, everyone looked at the always honest Kane, and he stood up.

"Did you just know about it, my lord, this matter was known to the whole city half a month ago. We thought you were informing us that we were going to seize power. ”

"What!!"

So, I was speechless.

Then, it took me a long time to figure out what was going on.

Originally, Margaret had already guessed that I would not take over the power, and discussed with Adam the successor, and appointed Anne, who was originally going to have a lightning handover and complete the power exchange before everyone reacted, but the big-mouthed Adam leaked his mouth in public, and then, such a powerful news, naturally the whole city knew

"Who is Annie? If the lord of the castle intends to step down, aren't Grant the Speaker of the Municipal Council, the sleepless of the judicial system, and Margaret of the Executive Yuan more powerful candidates, and what do they think? Will the other Guardians leave as well? So, who will protect the city of Brimstone? ”

For ordinary citizens, they never worry about who will come to power, they only worry about whether the price of vegetables will rise tomorrow and whether the housing prices in the city center will fall.

Well, what they really care about is never the rotation of political parties and the coming to power of big names, but whether their lives will change because of this, and whether tomorrow will still be full of hope

And Adam, the head of the Big Three, is going to step down, and as the protector of Brimstone Mountain City, he plans to quit, but what he takes over is a little girl who has never heard of it, so, is she living in the town? Will the other Dungeon Masters take this opportunity to intervene? Will the other bigwigs in the city listen to her?

This may seem to have nothing to do with the daily life they care about, but if the whole city is in turmoil or even war, then the ordinary daily life that used to be almost luxurious compared to other cities will probably come to an end.

These days, citizens who are sensitive to political life feel an inexplicable depression above their heads, and the feeling of depression that is about to come makes people breathless.

"That idiot !!"

I gritted my teeth, if I had heard the news yesterday and seen Margaret and Adam busy with their feet in the sky, maybe I would have celebrated, but now that I have taken the task, that fool's work has become a problem for me.

After a little evaluation, I guessed that there must be a mess outside now, anywhere, there will be no shortage of careerists and thugs, it used to be the Big Three who could hold down the scene, and now Adam is going to hand over the baton, then, there will definitely be no fewer people who want to take advantage of the opportunity.

I lay in my chair, a myriad of bad ideas lingering in the back of my head, my fingers habitually tapping on the table.

"Someone must have jumped out of the room. Who's against, who's for. ”

The Royal Hall is also the intelligence arm of the judicial system, and when I asked, Lilith stepped up.

Most of the leaders of the official institutions have expressed their opinions, at least superficially, in favor of Anne as lord of the city. But there are two powerful figures who have not yet spoken, and everyone is wondering if they have ideas. ”

"Who?"

"Speaker Grant of the Municipal Assembly"

"Him? It's really stupid, when ambition is beyond one's ability, sooner or later it will kill itself. ”

However, the town council was at least nominally a representative body of the people, and it would be a real problem if he insisted on opposing Anne.

And the reason why I say "nominally", among them, there are some allusions.

After the establishment of the Brimstone Mountain City, in order to reconcile the increasingly acute contradictions and conflicts of various races, Margaret imitated the elven kingdom on the ground and set up a city council, allowing the representatives of various races to discuss in it.

The original parliament was only qualified to enter by the patriarchs and elders of various races, they had a high reputation among their own races, and when they became representatives of their own races, naturally, they would expect to get more benefits for their own races, but the overall cake was limited, when several of the powerful races united, the living space and resources of the small races would naturally be encroached upon, and slowly, with the establishment of small circles and small teams, the interests of all parties were entangled, and the parliament had more and more right to speak.

And when a proposal to establish a "human special zone" and "dwarven special zone" was proposed, when watching these arrogant "big people" for their own interests, the shili behind them could no longer be ignored, and the "wise" sage finally realized the taste of lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.

So, she asked the devil for help, well, it's me.

So, referring to the experience of two lifetimes, I gave her the answer to what is called the Devil's Letter.

At that time, people marched into the streets every day, and various groups organized speeches and disturbances, as if the rights of the people were above all else, and the will of the people could not be violated, and tomorrow the evil dictator could be defeated and the citizens' assembly would be in power, but in reality, it had already turned into a kind of violence against the minority.

Seeing this situation, I knew that if I insisted on banning the parliament, it would lead to a direct riot, and then all the efforts of the past few decades would be in vain, so I thought of a trick.

Aren't you asking for an increase in the liliang of the council? Haode, I promise, I am afraid that you will not have enough manpower, so I will allow you to expand the number of members of parliament and increase the total number of seats.

At that time, the old Barr, who was then the speaker of the parliament, was overjoyed, and even, that day was designated by them as the day of parliamentary victory, but

Now, they define it as a day of stupidity

The original number of members of parliament was only 30, and only the population base of the large races was elected.

"How can this be done, the council is the representative of each citizen, thirty people are enough, and the small race must also have its own councillor. Let's have more. ”

So, with a stroke of my hand, I directly expanded tenfold, three hundred!

So, they were overjoyed, after all, in their minds, there were more parliamentarians, and naturally the voice among the people was louder.

But then, there was some trouble. All of a sudden there were ten times more parliamentarians, so where did the remaining parliamentarians come from?

So, for a while, the kobold businessman, the second son-in-law of the elder of the gray dwarf clan, and the second uncle of the goblin patriarch all wanted to be a councilor.

"Batch. Everyone is a representative of the people's will, and I will block it. "The list of parliamentarians came to me, and the green light was given.

As a result, there are more and more parliamentarians, and I still don't have enough.

"Hmm. Add another 100 people to this quarter, and you can divide it yourself. Don't always let the strong take responsibility, if you eat meat, you also want others to drink soup. Let those great craftsmen, ordinary citizens, teachers, and scholars also have the opportunity to participate in politics. ”

As a result, the number of parliamentarians increased, and at this time, some people had already discovered that the situation was wrong, but at this time, everyone was crazy about competing for new seats, and whoever said that they wanted to block the expansion of parliament was the enemy of everyone.

"Hmph, there are only a few of you half-dragons, so naturally you don't want other races to increase the number of councilors. Bah! Selfish lizards! ”

"Okay, if you don't add more seats, then, damn black charcoal heads and pointed ears, give your seats to us, the sons of the earth."

Well, ignoring this boring process, let's see how it turns out that the total population of Brimstone Mountain is now less than three million, but it has ten thousand councillors

Well, can you imagine what it would be like when more than 10,000 people meet in a cramped auditorium? Can you imagine how long it would take for a proposal to be signed by 9,000 people? Is it conceivable that the legislators will spend the whole day just by the light of the day?

Well, due to excessive bloat and inefficiency, when it takes them a month to complete the simplest of topics, today's town councils are mere decorations

Of course, they are also trying to reduce the size of the parliament, but it is too difficult to take back the rights that have been laid down, everyone is a representative of the people's will, who do you let out? Why should I go out? Doesn't it mean that all parliamentarians are equal? Why should I go out, and not you?

The identity of the councillor represents direct interests, and there are at least a few businessmen behind the back, and whoever you let out will fight with you.

"Hey, the council needs more grassroots representatives, I think every grassroots unit should have its own voice."

And when there are a large number of neighborhood committee aunts and fish vendors among the members of the council, when the identity of the councillor becomes cabbage, the so-called seizure of power and the so-called struggle for family and racial interests have become a joke.

At present, most parliamentarians can fight to the death just for small livelihood issues such as whether to impose tariffs on fishery products brought to the fishers, and those "big family leaders and big shots" are often sprayed on by the common people, and even staged all-out military acts.

As for the major resolutions on development? Hehe, since half a year, often before the resolution is completed, other government departments have already completed their work.

"What? Waiting for your decision? I'm sorry, if we don't deal with it, all the agricultural products will rot / The walls will fall / The city-states will declare war on us. ”

In addition, if you want to revise the parliamentary system, you must go through the legislature, and the legislative power of the Supreme Court is in my hands, hehe, the parliament will continue to argue and quarrel, I have brought snacks and friends to the parliament to watch the gladiatorial battles several times... Ahem, well, watch the democratic deliberations.

Well, the parliamentarians of the people's representatives are indeed remarkable, but today's parliament can't do anything, and ninety percent of their energy and time are completely sharpened in endless internal friction, the voices of those big people? Hehe, I'm sorry, everyone is the elected representative of the people, everyone is the same, but there are no big shots.

As a result, the powerful, the careerists, were drowned in the long sea of people

It's not that there are no smart people, but the parliamentary system is a new thing in this shijie, and I'm an old fritter, and when they find out that the situation is wrong, there is no turning back.

"Increasing the number of seats in parliament and expanding the voice of parliament is not your public opinion. Why, now that you are going to oppose the will of the people, how are you going to explain it to the citizens who elected you to power? ”

Well, they only have broken teeth to swallow.

But at this point, I didn't know that I was fooled, and I was really stupid, so I was also called a "cunning sleepless" and "that devilish masked man" by them, and naturally, those parliamentarians, speakers and their shili have always had a bad relationship with our judicial system.

Grande's opposition was expected, he was as ambitious as his stupid father, Old Barr, but alas, at least his father was still a little shrewd, and he was as stupid as a pig. He really didn't know that after Adam and Margaret had made up their minds, no one in this Brimstone Mountain could stop them. The idiot who used the mantis arm as a car, really became a tiger and didn't eat people for three years, so he changed to a vegetarian diet. Hmph, who's the other idiot who doesn't speak? ”

Suddenly, Lilith, who had been talking boastfully just now, was dumb again, and there was silence below, and everyone's eyes were on Kane again

This time, the honest and fair knight looked at the sky and pretended that he didn't exist, and for a long time, after I had already guessed that I had said something stupid, Lilith said it with an open expression on her face.

"It's you, that's why we thought you wanted us to take power."

So, I'm speechless.

"Eliza, weishenme won't tell me? Perhaps, I should reduce the funding of the intelligence organization. ”

In line with the principle that the Four Heavenly Kings must have a fifth, my Fifth Heavenly King is Eliza, the "observer" of the subjective intelligence department.

In the spiritual link, came the answer of my head maid.

"I'm really sorry, the day the news came, you happened to spend the night in the Chengguan Detention Center that day, I really can't sneak in to deliver information to you, and after that, the information should be on your desk, don't you see?"

Remembering that I hadn't worked for a long time recently, I glanced at the mountain of documents that had crumbling the thick willow desk, and I silently cut off the link with the poisonous tongue maid.

Even if it is far away, even if the words are surprised and respectful, I can imagine the smug look on the other side that has already bent over with a straight smile on his face.

With my eyes closed, lying in my chair, I fell into deep thought, I don't need to think much about the past, what matters is the future!

Although the council itself does not work, it is indeed a big trouble if the big families with mixed roots oppose it, and it is not enough to fight those old fellows by force, which is why Adam came to ask me.

A wonderful attention dangled in the back of his head, of course, it was not bad to say that the conspiracy was ....... gradually, a perfect jihua gradually took shape.

"Okay, let's listen to my plan"

After I triumphantly finished the plan, they froze.

"Isn't this my lord a little excessive?"

"Lord Sleepless, although it is not illegal, but it is really against common sense? Immoral? ”

"The old man is against it, this idea is too crazy, if the outside world knows, our four halls and one courtyard will be discredited."

"I think it's funny, boss, come on, you let me do what I do."

Looking at the noisy Four Heavenly Kings of Justice below, I smiled proudly.

"Hehe, as a parting gift, let's have a good time."
