At 8:61 today, the 97th Ministerial Meeting of Judicial Organs of Sulphur Mountain City was convened on time at the Supreme Court. The meeting was presided over by the President of the Supreme Court, Sleepless. The meeting conducted a one-by-one study on the major issues of the current judicial system. , the minutes of important matters agreed at the meeting are as follows:
It was determined at the meeting that all judicial staff members should carefully study the documents of Lord Adam on the four struggles of Sulphur Mountain City, earnestly perform their duties and functions as a judicial organ, abide by the laws and regulations, and carry out law enforcement work in accordance with laws and regulations.
At the end of the meeting, the old pacesetter and model of the judicial system, our most respected old judge, Mr. Sleepless, made an important speech, asking all party and government organs and staff to truly understand the spirit of superiors and unite with Anne Levine as the core Surrounding the second generation of the Party Central Committee of Sulphur Mountain City, do not waver, do not sway, insist on one core, two fulcrums...
Well, I can't make it up anymore, except for the last sentence, making Annie the boss is all a lie...
"Don't say I'm a dictator, I'll ask everyone's opinions. I'll tell you a big news, don't tell the outside world for the time being. In the future, Annie, um, is that precious illegitimate daughter of Margaret and Adam, the future boss of Brimstone Mountain City, It's best if you don't have an opinion, if you have an opinion? Hehe, of course I will accept the opinion humbly, um, just accept it."
He slandered those two fools without hesitation. I thought they would be extremely shocked when this bombshell fell, but at this time, the Four Heavenly Kings sitting below were strangely silent.
They looked at each other, for a long time, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally, everyone looked at Kane, who was always honest, and he bravely stood up.
"My lord... Did you just know? This matter was known to the whole city half a month ago. We thought you were informing us that we were going to seize power."
"what!!"
So, I was speechless.
Then, it took me a long time to figure out what was going on.
Originally, Margaret had already guessed that I would not take over the authority, and discussed with Adam the candidate for succession, and decided on Annie. Originally, she planned to come to a lightning shift and complete the power exchange before everyone reacted... And that big mouth Adam , but leaked his mouth in public, and then, such a hot news, naturally the whole city knew it...
"Who is Anne? If the city lord intends to step down, wouldn't Grant, the speaker of the Civic Council, the sleepless man of the judicial system, and Margaret of the Executive Yuan, not be more powerful candidates? What do they think? The other guardians will also Leave? Then, who will protect Sulphur Mountain City?"
For ordinary citizens, they never worry about who will come to power. They only worry about whether the price of vegetables will rise tomorrow and whether the housing prices in the city center will drop.
Well, what they really care about is never the rotation of political parties and the rise of big figures, but whether life will change because of this, and whether tomorrow will still be full of expectations...
Adam, the head of the three giants, plans to step down. As the defender of Sulphur Mountain City, he plans to quit. The one who takes over is a little girl who has never heard of it. So, what is the scene of her town? Will other dungeon masters take this opportunity to step in? Will the other bigwigs in the city listen to her
This seems to have nothing to do with the daily life they care about, but if the entire city is turbulent or even causes war, then the ordinary daily life that used to be almost extravagant compared to other cities, I am afraid, it will stop everywhere.
These days, citizens who are sensitive to political life feel an inexplicable low pressure right above their heads, and the oppressive feeling that the storm is about to come makes people breathless.
"That idiot!!!"
I gritted my teeth, if I heard the news yesterday and saw Margaret and Adam with their feet up, maybe I would celebrate, but now that I have taken over the task, that idiot's act has become a gift for me I'm in trouble.
After a little evaluation, I guess that the outside must be a mess by now. There will be no shortage of careerists and thugs anywhere. In the past, the Big Three could hold the scene. There will definitely be no less.
I lay on the chair with countless bad ideas lingering in the back of my head, but my fingers were habitually tapping on the table.
"Someone should have jumped out. Who is against, who is in favor."
The King's Hall is also the intelligence department of the judicial system. When I asked about it, Lilith stood up.
"The leaders of most official institutions have expressed their opinions, at least on the surface, they agree with Anne as the city lord. However, there are two powerful figures who have not spoken yet, and everyone is guessing whether they have ideas."
"Who?"
"Grant, the Speaker of the Civic Assembly..."
"He? How stupid. When ambition exceeds his ability, sooner or later he will perish."
However, the Civic Assembly is at least a nominal representative body of public opinion. If he insists on opposing Anne, it will be really troublesome.
And the reason why we say "in name" is that there are some allusions.
After the establishment of Brimstone Mountain City, in order to reconcile the increasingly acute conflicts of various ethnic groups, Margaret imitated the elf kingdom on the ground and set up a city council, in which representatives of various ethnic groups discussed, and it did achieve certain results at the beginning, but As a result, it is the consequence that the tail cannot be lost.
The original council was only qualified to enter by the patriarchs and elders of each race. They had a high reputation in their own race, and when they became the representatives of their own race, they naturally expected to obtain more benefits for their own race. But the total cake is limited. When several powerful races are united, the living space and resources of the small clan will naturally be occupied. Slowly, with the establishment of small circles and small teams, the interests of all parties will be exchanged. When entangled, the parliament has a higher and higher voice.
And when a proposal to establish a "human special zone" and a "dwarf special zone" was proposed, watching these arrogant "big men" get excited for their own interests, the forces behind them can no longer be ignored, "wisdom" The great sage finally realized the taste of shooting himself in the foot.
So she turned to the devil for help... well, it was me.
So, referring to the experience of the two worlds, I gave her the answer sheet called the Devil's Letter.
At that time, people marched on the streets every day, and various groups organized speeches to make troubles. It was as if the rights of the people were above everything else, and the will of the people could not be violated. Tomorrow, the vicious dictator would be defeated and the civic council would be in power, but in reality, it was early. It has turned into a violence of the majority against the minority.
Seeing this situation, I knew that if I insisted on banning the parliament, it might lead to a riot. Then, all the efforts of the past few decades would be in vain, so I thought of a trick.
Do you not demand that the power of the Council be increased? Okay, I promise. I am afraid that you will not have enough manpower. I will allow you to expand the number of members and increase the total number of members.
At that time, old Barr, who was then the Speaker, was overjoyed, and even that day was designated as Parliament Victory Day, but...
… Now, it is defined as stupid day by them…
Initially, there were only 30 members, and only large ethnic groups had the population base to elect members.
"How can this be done? The council is the representative of every citizen. Thirty people are not enough. Small races must also have their own councillors. Let's have more."
So, with a big wave of my pen, I directly expanded it tenfold, three hundred people!
As a result, they were overjoyed. After all, in their minds, the more members of parliament, the louder the voice of the public.
But then, there was some trouble. All of a sudden there are ten times more members, so where did the remaining members come from
So, all of a sudden, the big kobold businessman, the second son-in-law of the elder in the gray dwarf clan, and the second uncle of the goblin clan chief all wanted to be a dignified and dignified councilor.
"Approval. Everyone is a representative of public opinion, why would I block it?" The list of members came to me, and the green light was given.
As a result, there are more and more members, but I still feel that there are not enough.
"Yeah. Let's add another 100 people's share this season, and you can divide it yourself. Don't always let the strong take charge. When you eat meat, you also want others to drink soup. Let those great craftsmen, ordinary citizens, teachers, Scholars also have the opportunity to participate in political affairs.”
As a result, the number of parliamentarians is increasing. At this time, some people have found that the situation is not right, but at this time, everyone is crazy about competing for new places. Whoever says they want to stop the expansion of the parliament is everyone's enemy.
"Hmph, you half-dragons are only these few people, and naturally you don't want other races to increase the number of councillors. Bah! Selfish lizards!"
"Okay, don't add more seats, then, damn black charcoal with pointed ears, give your seats to us sons of the earth."
Well, ignore this boring process, let's see the results... Now the total population of Brimstone Mountain is less than 3 million people, but there are 10,000 members...
Well, can you imagine what happens when more than 10,000 people meet in a small auditorium? Can you imagine how long it would take for a proposal to be signed by 9,000 people? Can you imagine that it will take the whole day for a member of parliament to light up
Well, due to excessive bloat and inefficiency, when they need a month to complete one of the simplest issues, today's City Council is already a mere decoration...
Of course, they are also trying to reduce the size of the parliament, but it is too difficult to take back the rights that have been given up. Everyone is a representative of public opinion. Who do you let out? Why am I going out? Doesn't it mean that all members of parliament are equal? Why should I go out instead of you
The status of a member of parliament represents direct interests, and there are at least a few businessmen behind them. Whoever you let out will fight with you.
"Hey, the parliament needs more grassroots representatives. I think every grassroots unit should have its own right to speak."
And when there are a large number of aunts from neighborhood committees and fish vendors among the members of the parliament, when the status of parliamentarians becomes cabbage, the so-called seizing power, the so-called competition for family and ethnic interests, becomes a joke.
Now, most of the members of the parliament can fight to the death just for the small livelihood issues such as whether to impose tariffs on the fishery products brought by the fish people. Those "big family leaders and big figures" are often sprayed on their faces by the common people. Spit, and even staged a full martial arts.
As for major resolutions involving development? Ha ha, since half a year, other government departments have completed their work before the resolution is often completed.
"What? Waiting for your decision? Sorry, if we don't deal with it, all the agricultural products will be rotten / The city wall will fall / The diplomatic city-state will declare war with us."
In addition, if I want to amend the system of the parliament, the legislative body must be passed, and the legislative power of the Supreme Court is in my hands... Hehe, the parliament will continue to argue and quarrel, but I have brought snacks and friends to the parliament a few times. Going to watch the gladiatorial fight... Cough, um, watch the democratic commentary.
Well, the members of the public opinion representative are indeed amazing, but today's parliament can't do anything. Ninety percent of their energy and time have been completely honed in the endless internal friction. The voices of those big men? Hehe, sorry, everyone is the elected representative of the public opinion, everyone is the same, but there is no big man.
As a result, the powerful and ambitious were drowned in the sea of people.
It's not that there are no smart people, but the parliamentary system is a new thing in this world, and I am an old fritter. When they find out that the situation is wrong, there is no turning back.
"Isn't it your public opinion to increase parliamentary seats and expand the right to speak in the parliament? Why, now you plan to go against public opinion and do it for the sake of it. How are you going to explain to the citizens who elected you to power?"
Well, they just broke their teeth and swallowed.
But at this point, I didn't know that I was fooled, and I was really stupid. Therefore, I was also called "the cunning sleepless man" and "the devil-like masked man". Naturally, those congressmen and speakers They have always had a very bad relationship with their forces and with our judicial system.
"Grande's objections were expected, he was as ambitious as his stupid father old Barr, but alas, at least his father was a little shrewd, and he was as stupid as a pig. He really didn't know. After Adam and Margaret made up their minds, there was no one who could stop them in this brimstone city. The idiot who used to be a man's arm and a car turned into a vegetarian after three years of not eating people. Hmph, who is the idiot who doesn't speak up? ?"
Suddenly, Lilith, who was still talking just now, became dumb again. It was quiet below, and everyone's eyes turned to Kane...
This time, the honest and honest knight looked up at the sky and pretended that he didn't exist. After a long time, after I had already guessed that I had said something stupid, Lilith said it with a desperate expression on her face.
"It's you, that's why we thought you wanted us to prepare to seize power..."
So, I am speechless here.
"Eliza, why didn't you tell me? Perhaps, I should reduce the funds of the intelligence organization."
In line with the principle that there must be a fifth of the four heavenly kings, my fifth heavenly king is Eliza of the "spectator" of the subjective intelligence department.
In the spiritual link, the answer from my head maid came out.
"I'm so sorry. The day the news came, you happened to spend the night in the city management detention center. It's really hard for me to sneak in and send you information. After that, the information should be on your desk, didn't you see it?"
Remembering that I haven't worked for a long time recently, I glanced at the mountain of documents that had already crushed the thick willow desk to the verge of collapse, and I silently cut off the link with the poisonous-tongued maid.
Even if it is far away, even if there is surprise and respect in the words, I can imagine the smug look on the opposite side, who has already bent over with a straight face.
Lying on the chair with my eyes closed, I fell into contemplation. I don't need to think too much about the past, what matters is the future!
Although the council itself can't work, if those big families with mixed roots object together, it will be a big trouble. To compete with those old guys, just relying on force is not enough, so Adam will come to ask me.
One by one wonderful attention flashed in the back of my mind, of course, it is not bad to say conspiracy... Gradually, a perfect plan gradually took shape.
"Okay, listen to my plan..."
They were stunned after I said the plan proudly.
"This... lord, isn't it too much?"
"Lord Sleepless, although it's not illegal, it's really... against common sense? Against morals?"
"This old man is against it. This idea is too crazy. If the outside world finds out, our four halls and one courtyard will be discredited."
"I find it interesting, boss, come on, I will do what you want me to do."
Looking at the noisy four kings of justice below, I smiled proudly.
"Hehe, as a parting gift, let's have a good fight."
