March 5, 1850.

As Thiers had predicted, the "Social Democratic" faction, which had won nearly 200 seats in the Legislative Assembly, quickly challenged the majority of the Party of Order.

A battle for seats was staged at the Palais Bourbon in the early morning of the 5th, and the speaker responsible for organizing and maintaining order at the Palais Bourbon and announcing whether the proposal had legal effect was still Marast, while the representative of the Republican faction, Lamartine, stood on the rostrum to speak.

"The Legislative Assembly shall uphold the principles of fairness, impartiality and openness...... At the service of French liberal democracy! Lamartine, who was born as a Romantic poet, addressed all the members of the Palais Bourbon in his calm tone, "I want the Legislative Assembly to be a parliament of all the country and its citizens, not a parliament of a group of people and a group of political parties." If our Legislative Assembly really becomes an echo worm of a certain political party, then the democracy and the rule of law in France will be wiped out! ”

Lamartine paused and turned his gaze to the seat where the Party of Order was located.

"Shh

"Who does he think he is!"

……

The uproar rose in the camp of the Party of Order, and some of the orthodox parliamentarians shouted loudly with disdain on their faces.

Montalembell, one of the leaders of the orthodox faction, also looked at Lamartine on the rostrum with an unkind face, and asked Thiers with a hint of complaint in his tone: "Councilor Thiers, when are you going to make a move!" ”

Still smiling, Thiers lowered his voice and replied unhurriedly: "Don't be in a hurry, I said that I would knock them into the dust when they think they have won completely!" Now they're just a bunch of clowns! ”

"Hope you don't keep me waiting!" Montalembell replied lightly, then closed his eyes and said no more.

"Quiet!"

Seeing that the Legislative Assembly was about to turn into a vegetable market, Malast hurriedly knocked on the wooden nut in his hand to maintain order in the Legislative Assembly.

Under the wooden hammer of Speaker Marast, the members of the Party of Order returned to their seats quietly.

"Councillor Lamartine, what's your proposal?" Speaker Marast set his sights on Lamartine, who he did not expect to utter a long and lengthy speech for no reason.

"I hope the Legislative Assembly will be able to hold a re-election for the seats that the Mountain Party lost in June last year!" Lamartine has stated his purpose and hopes to be able to put 50 seats in his camp.

"Impossible!"

"You're disturbing the Legislative Assembly!"

……

Some members of the Order camp (most of whom were members of the Order Party who filled the vacant seats of the Mountain Party after the June Revolution of 1849) decisively denounced Lamartine, for whom the annual election of members of the Legislative Assembly was torture enough, and now that Lamartine wanted to hold a second election of 50 members, he simply wanted to strip them of everything from the Party of Order.

"The Party of Order has no right to privately grant these fifty MPs who originally belonged to the Mountain Party!" In the face of the criticism of the Party of Order, Rama retorted without backing down: "If necessary, we are willing to resort to law!" ”

"That's right! Appeal to the law! "Republicans and a handful of Montennese MPs began to stand in solidarity with Lamartine, but they were not like the Ludre. Roland is an idiot, and he can't say "resort to force" at every turn.

"That's all I want!" Lamartine replied after bowing to Maraster.

"I see!" Malast nodded at Lamartine in understanding.

Immediately afterward, Lamartine stepped down as a hero amid the cheers of the Republicans and the Mountain Party.

Since Lamartine's proposal for the election of MPs does not require a vote, as long as there is no clear opposition from the part of the Party of Order, it is passed by default.

Speaker Marast turned his attention to the Party of Order, and he hoped to receive an answer from the Party of Order.

The 50 parliamentarians who were targeted for their seats looked at Thiers, the leader of the Party of Order, and they wanted to hear opposition from him.

In the ardent hope of some members of the Order Party, Thiers got up and went to the rostrum, he quietly glanced at the members of the Order Party and the Republican faction and said: "I agree with Congressman Lamartine that we should respect the democracy of the Legislative Assembly!" ”

Thiers' answer surprised not only the members of the Party of Order, but the Republicans were even more alarmed by Thiers' change of attitude.

The MPs from the Order Party, who had taken the Hills seat, looked dejected, meaning they had another round of election.

With a solemn proclamation from Malast, the parliament approved Lamartine's proposal.

From 5 March to 20 April, more than 50 vacant parliamentarians were re-elected.

Members of the "Social Democrats" once again played their powerful "pie", and more than 50 vacant deputies were filled, of which the "Social Democrats" won 45 seats and the Party of Order only 5.

This reversal has greatly boosted the self-confidence of the Republicans, who believe that in the next election, they will be able to defeat the Party of Order and win a majority.

While the Republicans cheered, the leaders of the Order Party on Powalti Street gathered again to discuss what to do.

"What now? The republicans are on par with us! The Count of Morais asked Thiers anxiously.

Although Molay had expected the republicans to take away some of the seats, he did not expect that the republicans would be able to take away 45 seats at once.

If it is not restricted, the Republican faction will probably have to be equal to the Party of Order.

By that time, the Party of Order would have to face republican constraints in Parliament.

"Don't worry, they won't be proud for long!" Thiers still had a look of wisdom in his hands, and he turned his gaze to Remiza and said, "Is my speech ready?" ”

"Sir, it's ready!" Remiza responded deferentially to Thiers.

"Then let's see the real thing in the council!" Thiers said in high spirits, and then replied with a cautious attitude: "However, we must first throw stones and ask for directions!" ”

"Throwing stones and asking for directions?" Molai and the others looked at Thiers in confusion.

"That's right! The first time we don't go all out, we have to give the republicans some time to react! The second time is when we launch a general offensive! ”

On 21 April, the Legislative Assembly reopened.

This time, Thiers did not choose to shoot first, but first instructed a member of the Order Party to propose a decree on the "Law on the Restriction of Universal Suffrage" in a gesture of throwing stones to ask for directions.

As a result, as Thiers had predicted, the proposal was met with overwhelming skepticism.

"You are trampling on the dignity of the Republic!" Lamartine fiercely attacked the MPs of the Order party on the stage.

Untimidly, the councillor countered: "Lamartine, I don't think those people have the right to vote!" ”

Once again, the whole parliament was plunged into disorderly chaos, and this time even Speaker Marast could not stop it.

The Party of Order and the Republicans, the two parties that hold 90 percent of the seats in the Legislative Assembly, accuse each other of not respecting the Constitution.

If it weren't for the small force stationed in the council and the fact that they heard the movement in the council and led the troops to defend the council, the whole council would have turned into an all-out force.

Seeing that the surface was about to fall into full force, the speaker of the parliament, Malast, hurriedly tapped the wooden nut and shouted to both sides: "It's okay! This proposal can be shelved for now! ”

Marast's shelving controversy has put the Legislative Assembly out of the grip of bickering.

However, the lawmakers present knew that as long as the Party of Order did not abandon the proposal, then the dispute would always exist.

After the proposal to limit universal suffrage was shelved, the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Bife, appeared.

In Jérôme. At the behest of Bonaparte, Minister Bife submitted to the Legislative Assembly a decree "abolishing the right of workers to strike".

As soon as the decree appeared, it was fiercely opposed by the mountain houses, but the republicans, who were allies, also remained silent.

In the eyes of a bourgeois party like the republicans, workers should not have the right to strike.

In the end, the decree of Bifei was passed by an absolute majority.

It can be said that it is the only "good news" in the entire legislative assembly.

The Legislative Assembly was closed under the wooden hammer of Speaker Malast.

Early the next morning, news about the "law restricting universal suffrage" appeared in the newspaper The Nation.

This caused Victor, who has been absent from parliament for a long time. Hugo's idea.

[PS: Since martial law in 1849, Victor has been tormented by both emotion and money. Hugo has not been in the Legislative Assembly for a long time to vote. In the constitution of the Second Republic, there was no explicit provision that members of the Legislative Assembly must have a parliament, so the Legislative Assembly often voted when it was not in a state. 】

Juliet (Victor. Hugo's lover) handed over the Nationals to Victor. At the time of Hugo, Victor was painting with coffee. Hugo wiped his hands, took the newspaper and read it carefully.

"Oh! What a shame! "Victor. Hugo frowned and muttered to himself.

"Why do you have that expression?" Juliet asks Victor. Hugo Road.

Victor. Hugo raised his head and explained: "The Party of Order is going to make a new decree that will deprive people who have not had a hukou for more than three years of voting rights!"

For workers who have no permanent home, this is simply impossible! ”

"And the workers always voted for the left (in this case, the Republicans and the Mountain Party)." Juliet replied in a flat tone.

"That's right! Think about it! "Victor. Hugo couldn't help but complain a little more in his words: "For the sake of votes, they did not hesitate to sacrifice the power of universal suffrage!" ”

"Alright! What are you going to do? "Juliet knows Victor. Hugo is afraid that he will have to act again.

"I'm going to stop them!" Victor. Hugo replied unswervingly.

Looking at the combative guy in front of her, Juliet smiled with relief, she knew that the former Hugo was back.

"Then you need to be prepared!"
