Chapter 31: The Way of the King

"But the members of the council are not stupid, even if I help you nominate Sun Yiming, others can see that Sun Yiming wants to enter the president's cabinet, and there is a lot of resistance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info," Yang Xiaoqian said.

"I'm not going to nominate Sun Yiming." Yu Qian's reply surprised Yang Xiaoqian again.

Sun Yiming is the housekeeper of Banshan Manor and Yu Qian's most powerful assistant, and the last one who can maintain such a close relationship with Yu Qian is the dumb who died in the First World War. If Yu Qian does not nominate Sun Yiming as a cabinet member, who else will he promote?

"Oh? So what do you want me to nominate for you? Yang Xiaoqian asked.

There was a name on the other end of the phone that I couldn't think of anyway: "Luo Yingnan." ”

Luo Yingnan......

Yang Xiaoqian pondered for a moment, recalling all kinds of things about this person. This person's previous occupation was a second-way dealer, and after the dome blockaded Yuanjiang, he repeatedly avoided danger with his cleverness, and begged for a living in the gap between the two big forces of Jiangxin Island and Xinyuanjiang.

Until the eve of the outbreak of the corpse war, Luo Yingnan defected to a corpse hunter team called "Rising Sun", became one of them, and donated all the huge profits he made when he was a black market profiteer into the corpse battlefield. Later, when the war against corpses broke out, he awakened due to dangers and accidents, and became the first awakened person with healing powers.

Special abilities give him a special status, although he can be regarded as the least senior awakened, but he successfully entered the Fire Bearer Council to become a member of the Council to represent the interests of the corpse hunters, and there are three other councilors from the corpse hunters who stand in the same camp as him, but judging from the report of the investigation team, Luo Yingnan has no intention of forming a gang and setting up his own mountain in the council.

This person made a deep impression on Yang Xiaoqian, not only because he was very good at standing in line and could save the day every time, but also because he did a major event that everyone in the council knew a while ago.

At the beginning of its existence, the Flame Bearers Council had a statute in place, and the Speaker had the right to veto bills proposed by ordinary members. If the Speaker is dissatisfied with a motion proposed by a member of the Council, or believes that the motion is not necessary to be voted on, he may choose to use the power of veto to directly reject the motion.

At the same time, in order to allow the power of the speaker to be supervised and to prevent the parliament from becoming a hall of speech, there are two whips under the speaker, and when the two whips oppose the speaker's decision-making at the same time, they have the right to set aside the speaker's veto power, so that the bill will continue to enter the voting process, and the approval of the bill will be decided by the voting results of all members of the parliament.

At the last regular meeting, Luo Yingnan, who had just become a member of the parliament, stood up in a high-profile manner and proposed to cancel the veto power of Speaker Yu Qian.

Needless to say, the motion of Congressman Luo Yingnan to "cancel the speaker's one-vote veto" was directly vetoed by the speaker with a one-vote veto, and failed to enter the voting process and failed to set off a trace of waves.

After the meeting was dismissed, this incident became a joke that spread throughout the parliament and even the awakened, everyone who heard about it was hilarious, and Luo Yingnan himself became the talk of the parliamentarians after dinner, and the other three parliamentarians who were also born as corpse hunters avoided him, eager to dissociate themselves from this "IQ hard" guy.

How could he be chosen? After being stunned for two or three seconds, Yang Xiaoqian suddenly figured out the trick, but he couldn't believe that this was Yu Qian's idea, in order to confirm, Yang Xiaoqian opened his mouth and asked, "How did you think of him?" ”

"Because he gave me a wake-up call." Hearing Yang Xiaoqian's surprise, Yu Qian's voice was full of pride, "He told me with practical actions that my veto is not a gold medal." ”

"Huh? I would like to hear about it. The corners of Yang Xiaoqian's mouth flashed with a smile.

"Indeed, if someone puts forward a bill that threatens my position, I can veto it directly with one veto. But what if you and Liu Yuanzhou are going to deal with me? Or do you agree on something and want to oppose my decision? Or do you want to go a step further and remove my veto? So you only need an ordinary member of parliament to put forward a bill to cancel the speaker's veto power, and then you two whips will put aside the speaker's veto power to make the bill enter the voting stage, so what is the outcome? ”

"In exchange for the information in my hands, you formed a council for me and gave me a veto, but in fact this is a far-reaching trap. If one day my control of the council is no longer in the interests of both of you, you can use this trick at any time, and I believe that few people in the council want to see my veto fall on their heads, right? No one likes a hegemony that doesn't belong to them, so the result of the vote is obvious, if not unanimous, and the score will be huge. Once I lose my veto power and can't keep my position in the Speaker's Cabinet, isn't I, the Speaker, just an ornament that can be replaced at any time? ”

"Ahem." was broken by Yu Qiandao, Yang Xiaoqian coughed a few times in embarrassment, he did leave a hand when the rules were formulated, this trap is neither clever nor profound, but the so-called authorities are obsessed, and it will take a long time to understand this in Yu Qian's position. Unexpectedly, Luo Yingnan's seemingly nonsensical move made Yu Qian wake up in advance.

"Since this is a trap, of course, it will not be uncovered in advance when nothing happens, so Luo Yingnan's proposal is not at your behest, in other words, Luo Yingnan is clean and independent. Some people in the council think he's stupid, some people think he's going to go against me, and if you nominate him to the cabinet, I'm sure most people will be happy to see a stupid young man enter the Speaker's cabinet and become a gun they use to hit the Speaker. Yu Qian didn't wait for Yang Xiaoqian to explain, and continued, "But in my opinion, this Luo Yingnan's past proves that he is not a fool, but a person who is very good at judging the situation and making choices." I guess he proposed this bill firstly to remind me, secondly, to prove his innocence, thirdly, to suggest to me that he chose to side with me, fourthly, to disguise himself and create an opportunity to enter the Cabinet, and fifthly, to make me believe in his mind and means after seeing through his deep meaning, and then elect him as a member of the First Cabinet. When I need to hire people the most, there is such a person who stands in front of me by himself, how can I abandon it? ”

"Tsk, well-reasoned, convincing. But have you ever wondered if Luo Yingnan has really thought about it so much? If he really has the ideas you said, but reveals the idea chart so obscurely, isn't he afraid that you won't be able to see it? I will say something you don't like to hear, you are not known for your wisdom in the eyes of the members of the council. Yang Xiaoqian asked one last question.

"Did I tell you, he is a very good judge of the situation, you see what he has done before, there is always room for maneuver. In your words, this is a clever veteran, not a desperate gambler. So of course he will keep a hand, and he must also explore the truth before getting on the ship, so as not to get on a broken ship that will sink sooner or later. Isn't this his temptation for me, and if I can't even figure it out, how can I sit in the position of Speaker? If I can't even see through this, then his mistake is just a mistake, and it has no other meaning, and he will no longer have any thoughts to assist me. On the phone, Yu Qian laughed and said.

"Well, it makes sense, but this person is as complicated as you said, his heart is not faithful, this kind of person is like an unfed wolf, it is difficult to be loyal to people."

These words seem to sow discord, but they are sideways and tentative.

"I don't need him to be loyal to me, I just need him to be loyal to parliament, loyal to power. The way of being a king, the art of controlling people, in the final analysis, is all about playing with power. Could it be that I, Yu Qian, can't even tolerate a little Luo Yingnan? If I can't even control a person who is loyal to power, I will be ousted from the position of speaker sooner or later. Yu Qian replied, domineering and exposed.

The smile on Yang Xiaoqian's face was already very bright, showing eight white teeth rarely, and he said to the mobile phone: "Yu Qian." ”

"Say."

"I already knew that you would be able to do a good job as Speaker."

After a moment of silence, Yu Qian snorted, hung up the phone, closed the history book in his hand, and closed his eyes to reminisce.
