Huang Shi suggested that Zhao Slow-Xiong and Jin Qiude should not go to the House of Commons to compete or take up positions including the Ministry of Defense, Huang Shi hoped that they would not encourage their nephews to go there to cause trouble, and the reason was also very high-sounding, those positions belonged to the first assistant, depending on the situation in the House of Commons, a group of nobles with the qualifications of members of the House of Lords or the qualifications of heirs went to work for the commoners, and the elected House of Commons and civilian officials called back and forth to lose their status.

Therefore, Huangshi prepared them with a position that was not bound by the lower house, that is, the minister and general of the Qi royal palace - this was the first time that Huangshi made it clear to them that he would be king in the near future. After the recovery of Nanjing, some people began to discuss that the throne should be given to the Duke of Qi, and the queen who had accepted her fate asked the prince of Jian Guo to issue an edict to the Duke of Qi, and happily granted the Huangshi prince Jiuxi at one time, but the ruling minister who was on vacation in Hangzhou modestly dismissed the throne and accepted the honor of Jiuxi.

And in order to arrange the sons and nephews of the Huangshi group, and ensure that they are not bound by the military judge system that they hate, Huangshi revealed to the old subordinates that he wanted to rebuild the Zhiwei, and temporarily named it the Zhiwei of the Duke of Qi, and in the future, when Huangshi became king, he would be changed to the Zhiwei of the King of Qi. It sounds like the future of the Imperial Guards, which of course will not be controlled by the elected House of Commons, and the rewards and punishments for personnel promotions will be decided by the supreme ruler.

There is no need to think too much, the people of the Huangshi Group can realize what an important army and position this is based on historical experience, since ancient times, Yu Linlang is the Son of Heaven's personal soldiers, the position closest to the emperor, as the Son of Heaven's close ministers, can use this distance advantage to gain the emperor's trust, is the emperor's most convenient tool, and can even be said to be a part of the imperial power. Like the House of Lords, Yellowstone promised that the guard would be filled by the sons of nobles, and would not accept commoners from humble origins.

This news was consciously revealed to some important old departments in a mysterious tone, and soon as he expected, it spread throughout the Huangshi Group, spreading ten, hundred, from high to low, everyone knew this inside information. At the thought of the child having the opportunity to guard the Son of Heaven and the princes, to be a part of the imperial power and to have the opportunity to be seen at a glance, the position in the ordinary army immediately lost its allure.

Jin Qiude, who was designated as the future general of the Qi Palace, suddenly became even more scorching, because Huang Shi hinted that the selection of personnel for this direct guard would be entrusted to him to be specifically responsible, and everyone was desperately squeezing around Huang Naiming at the beginning, wasn't it just to leave a good impression on the future prince and emperor? Now that Huangshi wants to institutionalize the position of this close minister, what everyone is pondering is how to get among them, and have this beauty for generations - to enjoy the opportunity to easily meet the Son of Heaven that ordinary people can't have.

Huang Shi lost his son-in-law, his army, and considerable prestige, and he had to abandon his wife and children and flee back to Fujian like a lost dog, and Huang Shi felt that his previous ideas were too simple, as the so-called oppression where there is resistance, Huang Shi found that he overestimated his prestige in the old ministry, and underestimated their spirit of resistance to defend their privileges. Therefore, after arriving in Fujian, Huangshi has been careful to reassure the people, and has been lenient with the fleeing New Army, hoping that they will believe that they are very nostalgic people, and Huangshi will never want another change in Beijing.

Therefore, Huang Shi painstakingly figured out this set of plans, and deliberately misled the old department, anyway, these people only have past historical experience, and they can't be compared with Huang Shi's knowledge in any way, even Zhao Wanxiong and Jin Qiude would never have thought that the upper house would become declining day by day, and with the decline of imperial power, the Imperial Forest Army would sooner or later evolve into a guard of honor.

While Jin Qiude and others began to study the loyalists suitable for Naowei and the position of Qi Wangfu, while the entire Yellowstone group was busy carving up what appeared to be the biggest cake, the Constituent Assembly also elected a temporary first assistant.

Although Huang Shi said that the leader of the dominant party in the lower house automatically became the first assistant, he still had to go through a vote and then report to the ruling minister for approval. And now there are more than a dozen large and small parties in the lower house, none of the three major parties can dominate, no one can succeed in several rounds of elections, the three major parties will never support each other, and the small parties will sell their votes at a price, and the asking price becomes more and more ridiculously high with a round of byes, for example, the small peasant party, which has been allied with the Labor Party before, said to the Donglin Party: The condition for their defection is three ministers, which made Chen Zizhuang so angry that he and his companions complained: The original alliances will leave four ministers, Give three more, will we win or will these guys win? Moreover, seeing such a high price, the original alliance will definitely make trouble, do we have to set up a few more ministries out of thin air to be ministers for them?

In the end, the three major parties reached a compromise, and the Constituent Assembly, despite the opposition of the other small parties, forcibly adopted a new electoral method, that is, the elimination system of the end of the group, in which everyone with only five supporters could sign up to run, and if no one received more than half of the votes, the last place would be eliminated.

This method is a powerful counter-attack to the sky-high demands of the small parties, and sooner or later someone will win the election, and if they do not come up with reasonable conditions, the ballot will expire and be invalidated. In the end, the Constituent Assembly was still the final word of the three major parties, and their combined power was incomparable, and in order to block the way for other miscellaneous parties to invalidate the election by abstaining, they further stipulated that only two-thirds of the voter voter (Qi Guogong's initial rule, and the big parties did not dare to continue to reduce it for their own interests, for fear of being used by competitors). ), then an election is valid even if a group of people abstain from voting, and "reaching half" is defined as half of the valid votes excluding abstentions.

In order to counter the tyranny of the big parties, the small parties tried to vote by refusing to participate in the first and second votes (resulting in a quorum of votes). ) to resist in order to increase the value of their votes, but this attempt was once again crushed by the three major parties, who put on a posture of breaking the net and passed the proposal again (a normal proposal only needs to be more than half, and the three parties are enough to unite). No one wants to lose their rights, and that insisting on a stalemate will only lead to the loss of popular support – the big parties are now desperately trying to put the blame for the miscarriage of the election on these small parties in the media, and they are saying in unison that they are doing it for their own interests and ignoring the general interests of the country, and as a result, the small parties have no choice but to start seriously considering a reasonable compromise in a reluctant manner.

After several rounds of elimination, Labor's Miu finally gave the Allied four ministers of foreign affairs, education, transport and defence (nine ministries, five of which remained: the Ministries of Agriculture, Industry, Commerce, Finance and Justice). ), successfully appointed as the interim first assistant.

As soon as the report was sent to Hangzhou, the ruling minister, who was releasing on the golf course, immediately approved it, signed on the lawn to confirm that the appointment of the temporary chief assistant was effective, and then waved his hand and went back to playing. Many people speculated in advance that the ruling minister would sit on the side of the election, although this prediction was frustrated, but they also thought that Huangshi would return to Nanjing after hearing the news and hold a solemn ceremony, but they were greeted with a fluttering sentence of "I approve of whoever you choose." And he sent him back.

Huang Shi thinks that although he does not have the title of emperor, he is actually no different from the emperor, because he does not need to be responsible for his mistakes, it doesn't matter if the emperor has made mistakes throughout the ages, as long as he repents, it is worth writing about, even if he does not repent, as long as he does not toss the country to the death, someone will jump out for His Holiness. And I'm afraid that only non-human beings such as gods, Buddhas, and saviors can not make mistakes, and rely on the elected first assistant to take power, which reassures him more than Huangshi himself is in power.

Holding the letter of appointment signed by the ruling minister, the excited Dr. Miao suddenly had red circles in his eyes, and he shed tears in front of everyone, he had been half a pariah in business for the first half of his life, and he had always nodded his head when he saw the gentry, and he put down all his self-esteem to flatter the government. Finally, one day, Dr. Miao gave up everything, sold his factory and devoted himself to constitutional politics, and today he finally got the highest reward, and all the sacrifices, efforts and efforts in the past were not in vain.

After convening the first plenary ministerial meeting as the temporary chief assistant, Miao Shoufu also secretly met with the sub-heads of the three military departments, which are subordinate divisions of the Ministry of National Defense, and the sub-heads are military personnel rather than elected politicians.

First of all, Minister Miao announced that this was a confidential meeting: "Everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted, and I have heard that the military will make many plans, many of which may never happen, but once they happen, we will have plans to refer to." ”

"Shousuke-sama is right, the army does run like this." The military assured Miu Shoufu and the Minister of Defense: "We will plan for even the most unlikely of scenarios, and we have done our duty and have never failed the allocation of the Constituent Assembly." ”

"Well, I want to know," Miao Shoufu pondered for a moment, and finally said, "I mean, if, in case, if someone kidnaps Qi Guogong and orders the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly, does the Army Division have a plan for this situation?" ”

"The safety of Duke Qi is foolproof," the Minister of the Army immediately sweated on his forehead, and he said hesitantly, "This situation will be considered ...... in the end."

"So no?" Miao Shoufu asked, "Is this something completely impossible?" There was no plan for such an important matter, and this officer was very suspicious of the work attitude of the Army Division, and you asked for so much money from the Constituent Assembly, and you raised so many officials, and you were so lax. ”

The defense minister of the Small Peasant Party also echoed with a serious face: "This kind of paralyzing and careless attitude will not be accepted by the Constituent Assembly, and must be strictly investigated." ”

"The army branch will never believe that the Qi Guild will send such a chaotic order." The head of the army division hurriedly defended himself: "All colleagues in this branch ......"

"This official has already said that if someone kidnaps the Duke of Qi and tries to shake the country's capital," Miao Shoufu interrupted the words of the army branch minister again, and said sternly: "This official did not say that the Qi Guild issued such a chaotic order!" ”

"And you have not considered this grave danger at all," echoed the Secretary of Defense again, with a mixture of anger and surprise on his face: "I have long heard that the Army Division is overflowing and wasting state funds, but I never thought that it would be so serious!" Then the Minister of Defense turned his head and assured Miao Shoufu: "The lower officials will definitely investigate strictly." ”

Miao Shoufu stared at the face of the head of the army division, and nodded slowly with a serious expression.

"This Division-" After expelling Li Yunrui's son under the threat of the Constituent Assembly, the branch head of the War Department knew that he had offended the Yellowstone Group to death, and if the Constituent Assembly abandoned him again, he would have nothing, and the branch minister gritted his teeth and loudly assured in front of his colleagues in the Navy Division and the Air Force Division: "A plan will be drawn up immediately, and once this happens, this branch will immediately mobilize the army to protect the Constituent Assembly and sweep away the chaotic party!" I will personally supervise this plan and make it a top priority! Don't worry, Lord Shousuke, please rest assured, the general will send you this plan within three days...... No, the last general will go back to supervise it personally, and he will report the progress of the plan to the two adults early tomorrow morning, and dare to ask the two foreign adults to wait and see. ”

Before the head of the Navy Department had time to submit his name, the general of the Air Force Department preemptively said: "This branch has always been diligent in serving the country, and has never dared to be negligent in state affairs. ”

Seeing that Miao Shoufu and the Minister of National Defense's faces were softened, some ministers of the Air Force began to fabricate a fictitious counterinsurgency plan: "This branch has trained a hundred elite airborne commandos, although Qi Guogong is far away in Hangzhou at the moment, and it is safe and sound, but once something happens that Lord Shoufu is worried about, the airborne commando team can immediately be dispatched to attack the thieves who have kidnapped Qi Guogong from the sky to protect the safety of Qi Guogong." ”

"Good." Miao Shoufu praised and a smile appeared on his face.

"I have long heard that the Air Force Division is full of capable officials, and it really deserves its reputation," the Minister of Defense also smiled and said: "But is the airborne commando team of 100 people a little insufficient?" ”

"If there are more commandos, the certainty of success is certainly greater," some of the air force ministers reacted quickly, and immediately said: "If the Constituent Assembly can give more funds, we can better ensure the safety of Qi Guogong." ”

"The Constituent Assembly and the Ministry of Defense will consider your request," the Minister of Defense nodded, "But before that, Lord Shousuke and I would like to see your plan first." ”

"It'll be delivered to your desk this afternoon." The air force general had already made up his mind at this time, and as soon as the meeting was dissolved, he would rush back and immediately drive out the plan.

……

After the defeat of the election, a vigorous movement was set off within the Kuomintang to overthrow Lu, and the Kuomintang held the largest number of seats in the Constituent Assembly.

But it is precisely because the Kuomintang has the most seats that they have the toughest attitude towards small parties, and the two proposals to amend the election law were led by Kuomintang lawmakers, which made them have the deepest grievances with small parties. Second, the Kuomintang was also regarded as the greatest enemy of the Labor Party and the Tunglin Party, and both foreign parties put their main attacking firepower on it, which further made the disadvantage of the Kuomintang more obvious, and the result was a crushing defeat in the penultimate round of the election - at this time, only the candidates of the three major parties were left, and Lui Zhiqiang, who had the most basic votes, was overtaken by both rivals and unfortunately eliminated from the competition.

The mistake that was most regarded as intolerable by KMT MPs was that when the defeat was a foregone conclusion, the leader of Lui Che-keung gave up on himself and did not carry out any remedial work in the following day, and many MPs believed that if the KMT had chosen to cooperate with the Labour Party or the Donglin Party at that time, it would still have won many ministerial seats in one fell swoop with the KMT's many votes - and there was indeed an olive branch thrown by the Labor Party at that time, but the leader of the Lu Party was controlled by defeatist sentiments and completely lost the motivation to continue to work for the interests of his party.

Moreover, the Kuomintang also suspected that Lui Zhiqiang was still swayed by personal grievances, so they ignored Miao's proposal to form a coalition government: as soon as Lui Zhiqiang was out, Miao Dafu came to offer condolences, and also showed a politician who was willing to turn hostility into a jade silk, but Lui Zhiqiang brushed his sleeves away. After losing the unified leadership, most of the KMT legislators were at a loss, and in the next day's election they abstained or voted indiscriminately, resulting in a bloc with huge political resources that did not reap any benefits in this election.

After recovering from the defeat, the Kuomintang legislators were furious and unanimously accused Lui Chi-Qiang of being unworthy of leading the whole party: "Now that he can collapse after receiving a little blow, and he will also ignore the interests of the whole party because of personal grievances, how can we rest assured that the country will be handed over to him?" Don't say that others don't vote for him, that is, we vote for him are all betrayals of the voters! ”

As a result, a few days later, Lu Zhiqiang, who had been attacked to the fullest, had to announce that he would resign from all party posts and return to Fujian in disgrace with the intention of returning to his old business and opening a new fire factory. Little did Lui know that he would soon be warmly welcomed by the media and bookstores, who would be asking him to write a memoir at a high price to expose the ugliness and darkness in politics – and Lui Zhiqiang was indeed not polite to his old enemy Miao Shoufu and those comrades who abandoned him.
