Chapter 208: Preliminary Determination
"Parliament has a vote-and-veto system, and proposals require a majority of votes and my consent before they can be implemented. ”
Audrey paused, apparently only this sentence was the core of this lengthy speech. Audrey's voice echoed in the minds of many nobles for a long time, some of them clenched their fists and secretly vowed to seize this opportunity, while others wanted to gain power to curry favor with the three earls in the front row. In short, there are many kinds of beings.
Audrey didn't care about that, she still had to read the thick speech. Secretly vowed to keep the writer in a dungeon for several days, he actually wrote such a long speech.
But when she reads.
"Her Majesty Audrey's beauty will tarnish Goddess Tassie, and her supreme wisdom will amaze the Father. ”
Audrey thinks that it is not the writer who deliberately photographed his own horses, is he so good, it seems that he still has some vision, so he will not be punished. Audrey paused for a moment, but then realized her gaffe and immediately continued, only this time in a much louder voice than before.
Mars and Marshall clearly did not have the joy of receiving the Imperial Medal of Glory, and their eyes were complicated to look at the parliamentary seats full of people in the background, and Audrey standing in the center.
They all came out of the Olmedo era, and they were used to yelling at the nobles. But now I look at the aristocrats on the stage who have their own thoughts, the porcelain doll-like Audrey. The two of them couldn't tell the melancholy. They can repel enemies many times their size, but the rot inside them is something they can't stop, will the future be better?
Marshall took off the Imperial Medal of Glory and checked it, feeling a little light, perhaps as heavy as an egg.
Nils said.
"It's so heavy, even if it's gold, it's probably not much. ”
"It is said that a gold mine has been found in the Earldom of Cologne, which seems to be of little value. ”
Originally, the power was concentrated in the hands of Emperor Rune, and the nobles were still relatively obedient, so what Emperor Rune gave was quite weighty, but now I don't know how much power has been diluted. Whoever would take this seriously is all focused on the Parliament.
What's more, both Marshall and Mars clearly feel that they are old and about to be kicked out of history. This time they could clearly feel the change in the war of artillery, and the artillery will continue to improve. Cavalry, old infantry will be eliminated. It's something they've been working on for decades, and it's going to be ruthlessly discarded. And it was not so much that they blocked the enemy, but rather that it was artillery, muskets that blocked the enemy. Do they deserve this medal?
Wayne didn't think much about Marshall's state of mind at this time, and he couldn't control it. Under the wildfire of the times that he ignited, he not only needs to protect himself, but also needs to burn this fire even bigger. How can you do this?
After Audrey finished reading, she hurriedly stepped off the stage. The servant hurriedly brought a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and tea to quench his thirst. Although Audrey sits in a one-of-a-kind position, it is easy to notice. It seems rude to do this, but it doesn't seem to be Audrey if you don't. Those dukes, counts have long been accustomed to it. As for those nobles who are not on the stage, although they feel indecent, they dare not speak up. There is no place for them to speak here.
Boris and Cologne were a little tired and ready to put an end to today's incident.
Wayne also seized this opportunity, at this time he was a little tired, and his brain was too lazy to think, so the plan he proposed might be easier to pass.
Boris and Coren apparently sensed something was wrong, and Wayne didn't say hello. This kid doesn't talk about martial arts. Anyway, Wayne had already gone up, and no one stopped him, and no one dared to stop him.
"Gentlemen, and of course the only beautiful lady. ”
Wayne opens with the host in the theater. But the frivolous act is like a circus docent. Either way, it's an unusual opening statement.
"Today is a happy day for us to have a council in this remarkable building, which is unprecedented, and history will determine what we did. ”
"But we seem to have forgotten a very important question, what we set up the parliament for. ”
Of course, this is to share the power of the Creon family, of course, they will not say it on the surface. If anything, it would have been to make every decision more beneficial to Rune than to be harmful.
Wayne continued.
"Rune is made up of all of you's rich territories, and each of them can be governed well by your own intelligence. It is even said that it is quite good, and the daily incoming gold coins are tens of thousands. So what does the council need to do, and govern your territory, of course, that is impossible. ”
The remark caused some thought, and the nobleman began to think along Wayne's words. They suddenly find that their easily acquired power is really not so practical, because it can't do anything.
"We can refer to the late His Highness Ormedo, of course, I was rude, but now that the situation is urgent, I have to do it. ”
"We can summarize what His Majesty Ormedo has done, to manage the foreign affairs of Rune, to collect your annual tax rate, to deal with conflicts between you, and of course, most importantly, to adjust the title. ”
After a circle, many people found that what Wayne said was not nonsense. The purpose of the council is to share the power of the Creon family, so naturally it is necessary to do something that the Emperor of Rune should do.
But it seems to be a little different, when Wayne told these powers one by one, both the earls and the barons and viscounts, who were the largest and least vocalized, felt that their authority had reached such a great level. Many people began to think about whether they could use this power to change something. For example, changing their baron to a marquis or something, and Boris and Colon clearly felt the accelerated breathing of those behind them, trying to calm their anger down.
Wayne continued.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is both a power and a responsibility. We should use it sparingly. Thank you for listening. ”
Wayne was pleased with the desire for ambition on the faces of many restless nobles, which he needed. He did not want the Parliament to be in the hands of a few, as it had been before. He wants to let go of power, of course, it will also cause him a lot of trouble, but it only makes sense to achieve difficult goals, doesn't it?
This was the first step, and for the first time the barons, viscounts, and marquises, knew exactly what they could decide, instead of foolishly celebrating a great benefit they had so easily, without knowing what it meant.
