The study room is very ordinary. There are no rare antiques or priceless collections. Three huge bookcases are filled with all kinds of books. Some books are newer, and some have worn center covers that reveal the linen in the cardboard to prevent them from breaking. There are hundreds of these books. They are a small part of the old man's collection and the most read ones. The old man has been reading books all his life. As long as he thinks the book is valuable, he will read it carefully and leave detailed notes.
The old man graduated from a higher education institution and was excellent in both character and study. He worked hard all his life and had many ups and downs. He finally succeeded in becoming a councilor, a councilor in Turner City, before retiring.
Parliamentarians are not a new thing. They already existed during the feudal imperial period. However, the place where MPs worked at that time was called the "Imperial United Parliament". Their daily work was often to deal with disputes between nobles and civilians. As well as disputes between nobles and nobles, they occasionally involve the formulation of major national affairs, but many times the final result in this regard is the emperor's final say.
After the new party successfully overthrew the old party, the functions and powers of parliamentarians and parliament have undergone tremendous changes. Considering that the entire empire was actually obtained by the royal family of the Yaoxing Empire through constant conquests and invasions, there have always been more or less local resistance forces. Most of these people were nobles of a certain dynasty or privileged people. They were not willing to become civilians or ordinary people, so they often caused troubles.
At this time, the role of parliamentarians can be reflected. They are the mouthpiece for the grassroots to make demands to the top. They can convey some reasonable dissatisfaction from the grassroots to the ears of the top, and then the top will adjust regional policies. At the same time, they are also the tentacles for the top management to understand, grasp, and control the local area, and cooperate with the top level to assist the top level in exercising the highest authority over the local area.
It seems that the council member should be a service-type position, but the power of this position has been expanded unknowingly, so that the power of the council member is not inferior to that of the mayor of a city, and even Be stronger. At a time when only a few people could afford telegraphs and telephones were only a specialty product of a few cities, this kind of uploading and distributing duties provided parliamentarians with great room for maneuver and convenience.
In addition, when the parliamentarians now have the ability to formulate the rules of the game with the empire as the game territory, the power is once again amplified.
The old man slowly walked to the wicker chair and sat down, leaning tightly on the back of the chair. After a quick flash of pain on his face, he became calm again. It was a chronic problem of his, working in the garden for too long and bending over too much, and when he straightened up he felt a twinge of pain. But the strange thing is that he enjoyed this pain, even if it was only for a short moment.
"Do you know why I want to hit you?" He took out a pair of copper-rimmed eyes from his chest pocket and took out a piece of leather that could buy a hundred or more pairs of eyes. Wiping the lenses. The two legs of the glasses were tied with two silver strings and hung around his neck, just like many elderly people from middle-class families.
Gedol lowered his head and said nothing.
The old man in front of me looks no different from most old people. He likes to grow flowers and grass, likes to waste his already limited time on taking care of plants that cannot even be moved, and likes to bask in the sun by the window. Looking at the book….
But he understood that behind the old man, on the other side where the sun could never shine, there was another look, a horrifying look.
The old man wiped his glasses for a while, then put them on the bridge of his nose. He held his chest slightly, lowered his head, rolled his eyes and glanced at Gedol through the gap between his eye sockets and glasses, "I knew it. You don’t understand, you are exactly the same as you were twenty years ago, hopelessly stupid!”
When he heard the old man say this, Godor breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew that at least he would not have any big problems this time.
This is an old topic. Twenty years ago, Godol, who had just started serving the elderly, once had a brief meeting with the elderly. During this meeting, a person along the way took out a gun and shot the old man three times. Blood flowed all over the floor. It was not the old man who was shot, but Godol. That assassination of Godol almost embraced God and returned to God's arms, but he survived and seized the second most important opportunity in his life.
Later in the hospital, the old man asked him why he stood up and used his body to shield him from the bullet. Did he hope to impress him in this way and obtain some benefits from him. Godol replied with a silly smile, because I am stupid and I don't know what is the most appropriate thing to do in that situation, so I can only use my body to block the bullet for you.
The old man was not moved by his answer. When he left, he turned back and pointed at Gedol, who even pooped on the bed. From then on, Gedol rose rapidly in the underground world until today!
Time is like the biggest joke played by gods and humans. It always runs out of time unknowingly. Time flies like a shuttle, and yesterday is still before our eyes.
"Someone wants to deal with you, so they arranged a trap for you. When you can't find those three people, what does it mean?" The old man raised his eyes and looked at Gedol again, and then picked up a bag angrily. The book was thrown away, "It means those three people were either controlled or dead, you idiot! You actually followed Prondo and that Wood's advice and acted randomly. You are really stupid." It’s hopeless!”
The old man had spent his whole life in intrigues. When Godol told him everything in detail, he knew that this fool had been fooled.
He quickly calmed down and fell into deep thought. He was thinking about whether there was any more profound purpose behind this incident, such as... Him!
This is not impossible. As one of the old party members, the situation in Kansas is far from peaceful as people see it. There has been an ongoing infighting between the new governor and the past governor. Even though the old man was paralyzed on the bed and couldn't even sit up, most of the power in this state was still firmly in his hands.
The governor is from the old party, and the new governor is from the new party. Naturally, the governor will not let his power be firmly grasped by a paralyzed old man, so the two have fought several times. Seeing that the next mid-term election rotation is coming, if the governor starts to cut off the wings of the old party from the bottom up at this time, then the old party in Kansas will be in danger during the mid-term election.
So it is worth thinking about whether what happened to Gedol this time is an isolated incident, or whether there are other goals.
No one will treat the power in their hands lightly, no one will do this.
