"I propose that I should take the lead in preparing for the establishment of a legal assembly, and select outstanding representatives from the political, economic, academic, military, industrial, and agricultural circles as committee members, all of whom will be responsible for formulating our laws."
Zuo Mengeng expressed his thoughts.
He plans to take charge of the legislation himself and does not want to rely on others.
Obviously, this is one of the ways he controls power.
He is not personally responsible for the administration, nor is he responsible for the judiciary, so one of the three powers and the most important legislative power must be in his hands.
With this power, he can formulate rules and have the final say in political power.
As for the other ****, Zuo Mengeng does not intend to make them independent identities, but to choose from the top leaders in the current camp.
What?
Isn’t this boiling?
When the United States was first founded, there were no ordinary people in their Congress.
The reality is that even if we really want to allow ordinary people to participate in state affairs, it is simply impossible.
Because the people are not enlightened, the vast majority of the people do not even know a single Chinese character, let alone participate in politics. Participating in state affairs will only lead to bad things.
Another thing is that Zuo Mengeng has not seen the consequences of the proliferation of food in the future.
If a country's politics does not want to be chaotic, it must control decision-making within a limited range.
The rest can discuss politics, but cannot interfere in politics.
Otherwise, the interests of all people and groups will be inconsistent and conflict with each other. There is no need to do anything else. Just balancing the interests is enough to exhaust all the energy.
Today's Ming Dynasty is in chaos, not without the influence of the expansion of the bureaucratic class.
Therefore, according to Zuo Mengeng’s vision, Hou Xun, Li Banghua, Huang Zongxi, Zhang Zhenxiu, Huang Zonghui, Mao Yuanyi, Chen Zhi, Wang Yun, Jiang Wei, Wang Xiuqin, Xu Ruolin and others should not only be leaders in various fields, but also become legislators committee member.
This Legislative Council does not make decisions on state affairs, but is solely responsible for legislation.
In the legislative process, whether a bill can be passed requires voting, and the minority obeys the majority.
But Zhang Zhenxiu immediately suggested something.
"I suggest that Zhongheng should have a veto power to avoid when things come to a head and there will be different opinions and it will be difficult to make a decision."
Nowadays, more and more people within the group are aware of the importance of the veto power.
Zhang Zhenxiu's proposal to give Zuo Menggeng a veto power in legislation is not simply to consolidate Zuo Menggeng's power, but to facilitate the smooth work of the work.
Even though this Legislative Council is composed of high-level officials within the same camp, it does not mean that everyone's interests are consistent at all times.
It is conceivable that there will definitely be fewer disputes in the future.
So who can cut through the mess quickly, settle the situation, and convince everyone?
There is no doubt that it can only be Zuo Mengeng.
His proposal was approved by everyone.
At this point, the establishment of the **** committee was unanimously approved.
However, the first plenary session of the Legislative Council will have to wait until the summer.
Although meetings similar to this will be held in spring in later generations, because the whole year begins with spring. But not in this day and age.
Because during this period, autumn and winter were the times for fighting, while spring was the most important farming season. On the contrary, it is summer when many people have free time and are busy with work other than their own jobs.
………………………………
After passing Dezhou, you will reach Pingyuan County, which means you have entered Shandong.
There is only one official road from Dezhou to Pingyuan, and only through this can one enter the hinterland of Shandong.
But now the official channels have been cut off, causing great chaos.
A group of knights came from the north, wrapped in a carriage. Seeing a dispute ahead from a distance, I had to slow down my horse.
"Wang Yong, go and see, what happened?"
Among the knights, a middle-aged man wearing expensive fox fur was always lazy. He didn't take the chaos in front of him seriously and just ordered his servants to deal with it.
A knight took the order and ran out. When he got to the front, he saw that in the middle of the official road, he was blocked by a group of "official soldiers".
This group of "official troops" consisted of more than a hundred people. They were dressed a little strangely, and each of them was holding a blunderbuss. Their eyes were very fierce, and they could tell that they were elite soldiers.
In front of the checkpoint, many people gathered around and wanted to pass, but they were all blocked.
Someone was jumping and yelling.
"My master is going to Shandong for important matters. Whose soldiers are you Qiu Ba? Can you afford to delay my master's important matter?"
Qiu Ba, the leader, was unmoved.
"There is a war going on ahead. There is an order from above. No one is allowed to pass. Get out of here. If you dare to make any noise again, you will be shot without mercy."
The man seemed to have some background, and his voice became louder.
"Oh, you little pawn is so arrogant. Did you know that even your commander-in-chief and generals have to be humble in front of our master? If your general knows, your head will not be enough to cut off of."
The officer opposite simply stopped talking and waved his hand, clatter...
The soldiers behind him raised their muskets in response, and all the black musket muzzles were aimed at the man.
Looking at the resolute eyes of those soldiers, as long as their superiors give the order, they will definitely fire.
The man was frightened and was visibly shaking.
"You...you have the guts. Just wait. I will let you know later how many eyes Lord Ma has."
He scolds fiercely, but he is very quick to apply oil on his feet. In a flash, the man had already rushed far away.
There was also a group of people over there, and coincidentally, there was also a carriage in the middle.
The man ran back, came close to the carriage, lowered his voice, and said with a sad face: "Father, it can't be done. I don't know whose soldiers these are, they are so fierce. The younger ones are sending money and saying good and bad things. We won’t be allowed to pass.”
The car curtain lifted a corner, revealing a feminine face, it was Gao Qiqian.
Chongzhen did not kill him and asked him to find the Dongjiang rebels to negotiate peace.
Gao Qiqian knew that this matter was no joke. If he didn't handle it well, the nine tribes would not be implicated.
After coming out, after a lot of trouble, he gathered a team of people who thought they were capable, and then rushed to Shandong.
Unexpectedly, just after passing Dezhou, they were blocked and couldn't enter Shandong.
He can still trust the abilities of his subordinates.
Since it failed, it only shows that the soldiers who set up the jam were under strict orders.
He has many masters under his command, but if he wants them to go through a heavily armed level, Gao Qiqian would not dare to risk his own life.
Another one is that he came to Shandong secretly. If Chongzhen's plan was exposed after the commotion, he would still be dead.
After thinking about it, he asked: "Is there any other way?"
The subordinate hesitated and said: "If you are not afraid of bumpy roads, father-in-law, there are actually quite a lot of roads. There is flat ground here. If you really want to go, you can abandon the official road."
Luxi is full of plains, extending in all directions.
This was once a playground for horse thieves. The reason why the government failed to encircle and suppress it many times was because the horse thieves could run away wherever they wanted.
Not taking the official route?
Looking at the snowy land around him and thinking about his future, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Then let's go and find a way elsewhere."
After giving the order, the group did not delay and returned along the official road.
When they reached a place where the checkpoint soldiers couldn't see them, they immediately left the official road and walked eastward through the white snow in the fields.
Seeing that the Gao Qi Di group failed to pass, the rest of the group was quite surprised, but they had to give it a try.
"I dare to ask the military master, why is this good way not allowed to go?"
