When Hirata met the Son of Heaven again and returned home, a message from the Son of Heaven came out from Fenglin Palace. "A council composed of representatives of nobles, samurai, and burghers will be established in the Windy City, and this council will be the most powerful body to discuss all political affairs in Heungju, where the capital of the country is located.www.biquge.info As soon as the news came out, it set off stormy waves in the Windy City, and there were many discussions in the streets and alleys, in the courtyards of the deep houses, almost at the same time.

In the study room of a large courtyard in the aristocratic district, a middle-aged man ordered several high-ranking clans in front of him: "Windy City is going to set up a new council, and my Yao family, as an ancient bloodline, wants to compete for a prominent position." ”

In another mansion, an old man listened to the report calmly, but immediately gave instructions: "At least a few seats in this house." ”

When the news outside spread wildly, the old patriarch of the Jiang family was talking to Jiang Shangyu, and was talking about the arrangement of the main vein of the Jiang family for nearly a thousand years: "More than a thousand years ago, the ancestors had an adventure and wanted to determine the world. Later, he moved from the territory to the national capital, and scattered several bloodlines in the twelve states, waiting for the incident to be corresponding. ”

"Then how do the various branches maintain their loyalty to the main line?" Jiang Shangyu asked calmly, trying to play the appearance of a young man who was deeply immersed in ecstasy.

"The heads of all families have been in office for generations, and the main vein does not matter loyalty, after all, the power of this world is divine, and behind us is the creation beast. The old patriarch looked mysterious.

"Yes, it is also my Rudi Jiang family that is unfortunately broken, so I don't know that there is such a secret. Jiang Shangyu suppressed the surprise in his heart and replied calmly on his face.

"Shangyu, you have to remember that your land and the main vein are now merging, and you are the one in the main vein, understand? The old man said very seriously, and immediately changed his gentle tone: "You are the greatest means arranged by our ancestors, and the world will be handed over to you in the future." ”

"Yes, Patriarch, the remnants will certainly not live up to expectations. Jiang Shangyu replied congratulatorily.

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door outside the hut where the patriarch lived. Where the patriarch lived, there was no subordinate to serve, and after Jiang Shangyu arrived, he took the initiative to take on most of the attendant things, he took the initiative to get up and walked to the door.

When I opened the door, there was Jiang Hongwen outside. "Patriarch, there's something big again. Jiang Hongwen has also seen Jiang Shangyu a few times in the past two days, and he knows that Jiang Shangyu has been hit by ecstasy, so he directly ignored Jiang Shangyu and spoke directly to the old patriarch.

"Hmph, where has your noble demeanor gone recently? When you come in, you shout like this, and you see that Shang Yu didn't react at all, although he is your junior, but he also has etiquette for juniors. The old patriarch was not very satisfied with Jiang Hongwen's attitude towards Shang Yu, and said loudly. The future Son of Heaven, if one day he remembers that he was ignored by Jiang Hongwen, isn't it a gap in his life.

Jiang Hongwen was busy admitting his mistake, and then he told what he had heard about it one by one. "The Son of Heaven is going to form a council in Windy City to oversee the affairs of the state. The House will have a Speaker, fifteen core committees, and a number of seats. After the establishment of the House of Representatives, all kinds of political affairs under the current Qing Shichen are within the scope of the power of the House of Representatives. ”

The old patriarch muttered: "Did the Son of Heaven say that who will be the speaker?"

"The Son of Heaven didn't need to say it explicitly, at present, the nobles of Windy City are all about to move, I think tomorrow, the nobles of the entire Xingzhou may receive the news, patriarch, we are also going to take action. "As the elder of the Jiang family who leads the affairs of the Son of Heaven, Jiang Hongwen's news is still very reliable, and at the same time, his suggestions must be listened to carefully.

"Okay, you go out to make arrangements, be sure to contact the nobles in the city, and ask them to give up the position of speaker to our Jiang family. "The old patriarch was very resolute. He knew that it was impossible to wait for Feng Tianzi to take the initiative to abdicate and let Xian, so he had already made arrangements and was ready to seize power by force, and even asked the Jiang family to privately connect the nobles in the city for this purpose.

"It seems that the Son of Heaven has seen the general trend and is ready to back down. The old patriarch sighed in his heart, in his opinion, this was a means for the Son of Feng to advance and retreat. If the position of speaker is given to the Jiang family, it can also give the Feng family a decent end. "Of course, the Liulifang currently in the Feng family's hands, when my Jiang family sits on the throne of the Son of Heaven in the future, it must be let out. ”

When the old patriarch gave instructions, Jiang Hongwen immediately agreed: "Yes, patriarch, I'll arrange it." Then the wind went out.

said that Jiang Hongwen walked out of the patriarch's hut, and after walking a few steps, his attitude changed from respectful to arrogant. "Old thing, when I take the position of speaker on behalf of the Jiang family, see that you are still riding on my head. ”

This Jiang Hongwen thought all the way, he was the patriarch of the Jiang family who was in charge of the affairs of the Son of Heaven, and he was the first person in the sense of the outside world, and he had to take the position of speaker in his hands. He has already made several records in his heart, and it is not a simple thing to suppress or win over and subdue the nobles of the whole city, but it must be done.

A few days later, under the suppression of Jiang Hongwen, the nobles in the city asked to meet the Son of Heaven and asked to appoint the Jiang family as the speaker. However, the harm of this suppression was also quickly exposed, and almost all the nobles took the initiative to alienate the Jiang family after making suggestions, and a loose alliance that had just been established seemed to have no trust.

Previously, the patriarch of the Yao family even expressed direct criticism of the Jiang family at a gathering of nobles: "Their appearance is really ugly, although my Yao family also knows the general trend of the Jiang family in the future, so I have to bow my head, but this does not mean that we are convinced, the atmosphere of the Son of Heaven family cannot be like this." ”

It is said that many of the nobles present agreed. Of course, after the news reached the Jiang family, some elders of the Jiang family just smiled and didn't care at all.

Soon, the word of the Son of Heaven came out again. A clan elder of the Jiang family was appointed as the first speaker, and at the same time, the remaining fifteen members of the noble committee were also named, most of these nobles were of ancient blood, but in this action to compete for the speaker, they more or less expressed their dissatisfaction with the Jiang family.

In the subsequent edict of the Son of Heaven, the specific function of the House was explained in detail: "This new political system is called the representative system. The seats in the House of the Noble Council can be voted on by the townspeople, but the committee and the Speaker will be nominated by the Noble Councillors and must be appointed by the Son of Heaven. The newly established House of Representatives, which has great powers, can vote together on matters of the whole state, and will hold plenary meetings twice a year, and the Speaker and committees will decide on important matters in normal times. ”

"What a powerful person. When the Son of Heaven issued the edict for the second time, Hirata was dining with Qi Ming, and after listening to the report of his subordinates, he couldn't help but say faintly, with a sneer on his face.
