Chapter 787: Dominating Southern Xinjiang (13) Leading the Rebellion
At this time, the commander of the city defense army had received an order from his superiors to arrest the group of people for the charge of roaring the palace, so he began to beckon his men to prepare to move.
However, just as the commander of the city defense army had given the order and the guards had just stepped into the square, there was another accident, and the president of the Sib, Celiti III, actually appeared on the walls of the royal palace, listening to the petition of the gentlemen, and the appearance of Celiti III brought a wild shout.
The veteran commander of the city defense army pinched his fingers and saw that unless Celiti III happened to be walking near the city wall before, there was only one reason why he could appear on the city wall so quickly, and that was that Celiti III had already stayed near the city wall and was ready.
Although the prefect of the city defense army was biased towards the orthodox aristocracy, this position was not enough for him to involve his wealth and life in the immortal fight, so he ordered a suspension of the operation on the grounds of the appearance of the president of the United Commonwealth.
"O my people, what are you flocking to gather under the walls?" and as soon as Celiti III, dressed in splendid robes, appeared on the walls, the gentlemen took Sililet as the leader and told Celitus III their appeals.
Seliti III listened to their request in a daze, but kept in mind the explanation given by First Lady Lorraine, and nodded his head from time to time in response, whether he understood it or not.
It worked, and the gentlemen were so honored to find that their words had been listened to by Celitus III, and in the meantime they had chosen to forget, and more than once in the past few years everyone had complained in the press that the chaos that had arisen in Siber's present was due to the incompetent President of the United States.
Soon, Seliti III caused an even bigger sensation, because he told the gentlemen that he was going to walk down the wall and talk to the gentlemen up close, instead of standing on a high place and looking down on the gentlemen, Seliti III's words caused a sensation among the gentlemen again, and the crowd erupted in strong applause.
Although it is said that Seliti III's behavior today is a show that has been discussed with the merchant group for a long time, for the sake of authenticity and to avoid leakage, it is obvious that except for a few leaders, most of the gentlemen present do not know what will happen.
Seeing that Celiti III had come down, the commander of the city defense army couldn't help but rejoice that he had stopped a step, Celiti III obviously passed with those people, if he really did it, maybe the royal guards would also move with him, and afterwards those bigwigs didn't know that their little shrimp would definitely become the first wave of victims.
"What you say is very reasonable, and I am quite supportive of your idea, but after all, the parliament is a system that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it doesn't seem like a good thing to abolish it like this, right?"
The words spoken by Celiti III are still the words taught by Lorraine, and the core is one word, with rhythm, which leads the rhythm to the current Great Council system.
The representative of the gentlemen was still the same one who had spoken earlier, and Siariel replied to Celiti III in words of intense enlightenment:
"Dear President, this era is constantly changing, and our ancients would not have imagined more than a thousand years ago that now we are far away from the gods and still use flint guns, floatboats, and iron chariots, so the political system naturally has to change with the development of the times. ”
Celiti III immediately praised Siali's idea, and gave him the gold watch he had brought with him, saying that although he was the president, he was also very helpless about the current situation, and the parliament controlled by the nobles was too resistant, and he could not give a positive answer to Xiari and these people.
Afterwards, Seliti III shook hands with every gentleman present as much as he could, and every gentleman he saw, whether or not he really knew him or had heard his name, patted them on the shoulder, said words of encouragement, and tossed for a long time before returning to the palace.
By this time, the scheming Speaker Li Xiwei had thoroughly guessed Lorraine's intentions, so he summoned the enlightened nobles to his mansion to discuss the matter.
Just as the orthodox aristocracy wanted to force Celiti III to resign, Lorraine's plan was earth-shattering, that is, since Celitus III could not fight the nobility in the parliamentary system, he would simply overhaul the old parliament and set up a new parliament, and everyone would be on the same starting line.
Lorraine has already made a move, so should these people follow or not? When Li Xiwei finished explaining Lorraine's plan, the enlightened nobles in the audience quarreled, one faction said that they would simply support the establishment of a new parliament, and then purge the orthodox nobles, and the other faction said that they could not follow this kind of great rebellion, and the Great Council was supreme.
The quarrel was interrupted by Li Xiyi's cough, and a slow but firm voice came out of the mouth of the 65-year-old man: "Why do we have to be black and white? Why can't we bet on both sides?"
At this time, the enlightened nobles came to their senses, and they were almost surrounded by Lorraine's actions! Abolish the Great Council and establish a new parliament, the most urgent should be the orthodox nobles, on the contrary, the relationship between the enlightened nobles and the enlightened people is quite good, and the two are not incompatible.
"I'll take some people to stay in the Great Council, and the rest of the enlightened nobles will come into contact with the Enlighteners, and we'll bet on both sides, and we'll take it all on both sides!
Although the owner of this name in the Li Xi Hiding Point is 46 years old, he is undoubtedly a small character for the parliamentarians.
Werner was a young nobleman who was elected to the Great Council last year, and he was not even a member of the Lord's Council, but his home was in Battilos, so he entered the mansion that night to listen, but he didn't expect that he would be picked by the well-known old-timer Li Xiwei, and his face was immediately red.
"But, Speaker, I am naturally very honored to be able to undertake this task, but everyone here is more qualified than me, how can the kid be good?"
"Youth is your greatest strength," said Victor on the shoulder, and the council of the enlightened nobles ended in a warm atmosphere.
However, the meeting of the orthodox aristocracy did not have this atmosphere, especially since they could be sure that the treacherous and cunning Li Xiwei would definitely shrink his head and let all the pressure pile on himself, because at this point, the attitude of the enlightened, the Atona and the merchant group was the same, and the orthodox nobles became the target of the fire.
Therefore, the meeting did not negotiate any good way, and in the end, it could only conclude with not cowardly or do it, and fight with the other party.
And the gentlemen, after receiving the instructions of Celiti III, were as excited as if they had been beaten with blood, and they felt that they were participating in the affairs of the state, and thus a sense of political pride emerged, and the affairs of the country, now even we gentlemen can participate, instead of watching the nobles sing a one-man show.
The following day, the gentlemen, led by Siari, gathered in the stadium of his house and took the oath, vowing to work for the establishment of a council that would be representative of all the inhabitants of Sib.
In order to accomplish this goal, they formed their own "Preparatory Parliament" as a substitute before the establishment of the real Parliament, and also swore that the Preparatory Parliament would never be dissolved until the real Parliament was established, which was later known as the "Stadium Oath", also known as the "May Oath"
His ancestry was actually quite ancient, his ancestors were nobles who had been living in Huls for hundreds of years when he arrived in Dima, and he was firmly on the side of Huls in the Boligu reforms, so he was a leader for a while.
However, with the control of Siber by the Parson dynasty of Dorfan I, the family of Xiari, like other nobles, began to be excluded and declined, and by now, the family of Xiari is no longer a nobleman, but a member of the merchant group, but still rich and noble.
With his reliable pedigree and outstanding abilities, he became the leader of a new generation of Enlighteners at an early age, and unlike the older generation of Enlighteners, who only dared to criticize in the press, the new generation dared to rush to the stage in the sun to fight for political power for themselves and the merchants.
In the past, this kind of Diao people who dare to deny the dignity of the parliament would be just arrested, but now this group of Diao people not only has people behind them but also money, and they also have gifts from Seliti III in their hands, which is really difficult to catch!
What's worse is that there was a split within the aristocracy, Werner, a member of the Great Council, a well-known enlightened nobleman, actually openly joined the Preparatory Council, and under his leadership, the Preparatory Council was filled with many so-called "enlightened nobles", which made the orthodox nobles grit their teeth with hatred.
Later, the nobles who joined the Preparatory Council were not only limited to the enlightened nobles, but even some nobles who had not been enlightened before also joined the Preparatory Council.
After all, many small nobles may not be without complaints about the parliament monopolized by the big nobles, and in any case, the preparation of a new vote setting in the parliament has even attracted many small nobles, and even some big nobles who want to find another way have become interested.
It stands to reason that Li Xiyi, as the speaker of the parliament, should be in charge of this matter, but he said, "Jokes, thousands of years of rules, they say that they have changed, they have changed?
Speaker Li Xiwei didn't care, what else could the parliamentarians do? The orthodox aristocracy watched with concern as the situation continued to deteriorate like this, feeling that something was going to happen.
They had no good idea, and after a long day of discussion, they decided to respond to all changes with no change, ignore the preparatory council, and convene an emergency council in June according to the agreed time, and fight Lorraine with real swords.
On the day of the opening of the Emergency Council, Siari jumped out again, and in front of the gate of the palace square, surrounded by a large number of people, he made another speech: "The wicked and illegal parliament, which is held by a few old nobles, representing a minority, is being convened!
Therefore, when the meeting was officially convened, a third of the seats were vacant, and not all the members who did not come went to prepare for the parliament, but undoubtedly adopted a striking attitude and refused to get involved in the conflict between the upper nobility.
And even among the two-thirds of the nobles who remained, half of them were enlightened nobles with evil intentions, including the speaker Li Xi, who came to see the orthodox nobles lively.
What's worse is that these people who don't come even include the President of the United States, Celiti III, which is a pain in the eye, Celitus III should be the core of the parliament anyway, and as a result, even Celiti III does not come to the parliament, how can this parliament be held?
In the past, the speaker of the parliament was the representative of the parliament, and the president of the United Republic was the strongest hole card of the parliament at the end.
