At this time, Prime Minister Ouyang was discussing with several ministers on how to expand the king's influence.
The country needs an honest and capable organization, and it also needs an eternal faith.
Belief plays an extremely important role in the cohesion of the people of a country.
And Lu Heng is the belief of this country.
After a whole morning of discussions and ministerial meetings, a balance was finally achieved between the power of the king and the state.
From now on, the power of the Principality of Azure Sea will be formalized.
The king is completely separated from the country's executive powers, retaining only hereditary power and some rights granted to the nobility, as well as the highest honor of the head of state. Apart from this, there is nothing else.
The Congress, composed of citizens, has become the largest authority in the principality.
Under the Congress, departments at all levels derived from it, as well as the Prime Minister of the government, perform their respective duties to ensure that the government is honest and fair, and the country's long-term peace and stability are ensured.
The Minister of National Defense took a sip of tea, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister is really a genius, he can think of such wonderful ideas!"
Several ministers nodded in agreement.
Prime Minister Ouyang smiled and said: "Okay, don't say that, everyone. In fact, the maker of this law is our king, Lu Heng!"
"What?" The Minister of Defense was dumbfounded.
I looked at each other with several colleagues. Everyone looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
After several visits to the surrounding countries, they had never seen a king who was so willing to limit his own rights.
The kings of those countries wish they could have all the power concentrated in their own hands, or even worse, in the hands of their descendants.
There is no one like Lu Heng, who has pushed away almost all substantive rights except hereditary supremacy and the king's supremacy in reputation.
this,……
It’s hard to understand!
Prime Minister Ouyang seemed to have seen everyone's doubts and smiled: "Actually, it's not too difficult to understand! His Majesty the King is so generous. It is to take the lead!"
"What's the leader?" the Minister of Defense asked puzzledly.
Prime Minister Ouyang said: "Abolish the lifetime tenure of positions!"
"You mean?" the Minister of Defense seemed to have guessed something and asked in a deep voice.
Prime Minister Ouyang nodded and said: "Yes, that is to say, an official cannot stay in the same position forever. He has to be transferred, promoted or delegated, or retired! Talents will emerge from the country, and each will lead the way for hundreds of years!"
"Good poem." The Minister of Defense first praised it. Then he asked puzzledly: "Then, how long is the term of office in a position?"
Prime Minister Ouyang extended a fist and said with a smile: "Two terms. Each term is five years, a total of ten years!"
"Including the Prime Minister?" The Independent Commission Against Corruption was different from the black-faced one. He kept silent until this time, Tai raised his head and asked abruptly.
After the question was asked, everyone bowed their heads and fell silent.
Although this question was a bit bold, it did express everyone's feelings.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption is only responsible to the Congress, and the members of the Congress are composed of members of various associations in the Principality of the Blue Sea according to a certain proportion. In a practical sense, the Congress has greater power than the king. In other words, there are
When the time comes, Parliament can directly criticize the king.
Therefore, with the protection of the big boss of Congress, the Independent Commission Against Corruption can not sell face to anyone.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages. The Independent Commission Against Corruption is responsible for supervising officials and the government.
The appearance is beautiful and awesome.
However, this group of guys who constantly keep an eye on you to see if you have committed any crime are also the most annoying among the officials here.
However, today's bag seems a little cute, at least when I asked this question. That black face is really kawaii.
Prime Minister Ouyang was not angry. He nodded and smiled: "Including, it is also two terms, a total of ten years!"
Bao BuTong thought for a while and then said: "What if there are officials who dominate the position? Or what if someone bribes some people in Congress and bribes the election?"
Prime Minister Ouyang shook his head and smiled: "Isn't there Zhang Haoran's High Court and Li Qingyuan's High Inspection? If you ask this, aren't you afraid that those two will be angry?"
On the side, the two big bosses of the Supreme Court and the Supreme Procuratorate had coffin faces, their eyelids were slightly drooped, as motionless as old monks in meditation.
Just like Bao BuTong, these two old guys are only responsible to Congress.
If the Independent Commission Against Corruption is only investigating, then these two are specialized in arresting people and trying them.
Therefore, Bao, Zhang, and Li are collectively known as the Three Musketeers in the Blue Sea Principality.
Prime Minister Ouyang smiled and said jokingly: "Besides, your Independent Commission Against Corruption is not a decoration!"
After hearing this, Bao BuTong grinned, showing his bright white teeth.
On the side, the other ministers actually grinned when they saw that the black-faced Bao was different. With lingering fears, they all lowered their heads to avoid Bao Heizi's gaze.
"What if..." Bao Heizi thought for a while and asked again.
Beside me, a group of people were heartbroken and cursed secretly: You are not done yet, are you just happy to scare me to death?
However, I just said this in my heart.
Bao Heizi from the Independent Commission Against Corruption does not care about integrity. Even if he sees that the minister is not dressed correctly, Bao Heizi will criticize him mercilessly.
Moreover, this criticism is irrespective of the occasion.
"Say it!" The Prime Minister was in a good mood today and nodded happily.
"Uh... no more!" Bao Heizi scratched his head, smiled, and said with a chuckle: "I'm scaring you!"
A group of people with black streaks on their heads stared at Bao Heizi, gnashing their teeth, wanting to go up and kick him.
Prime Minister Ouyang burst out laughing, and the tea he was holding spilled a lot.
After putting down the teacup and taking a rag to wipe away the water stains on the table, Prime Minister Ouyang stood up, glanced at his colleagues and said, "Is there anything else to add? If not, the meeting will be adjourned!"
"Wait a minute!" This was an old scholar-looking old man with glasses sitting at the far end. After holding his eyes on the bridge of his nose, he slowly stood up and said, "I have something to announce!"
This old man's surname is Shen Mingtuo, he is the director of the Azure Blue Sea National Research Institute, and he is highly respected.
At first, this old man was a small servant of the Ministry of Industry of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was punished for drinking and causing trouble. Later, Lu Heng rescued him. This man was grateful for Lu Heng's kindness and followed Wang Liye to the vast western region.
.
Seeing Shen Tuo stand up, a group of ministers with real power quickly stood up. The Minister of Defense beside him didn't even mind the smell of moldy clothes on the old man's body and helped him personally.
Shen Tuo smiled at the Minister of National Defense. He turned around, picked up a thick stack of information in front of him, distributed it to the ministers, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you something. Yesterday, good news came from the Academy of Military Science.
, the new bombs and gliders are successful! Soon they will be mass-produced and installed in the army!"
After listening to this, a group of people yelled.
Then, first the Minister of Defense and then other ministers.
They were all stunned for a moment, then turned their heads and looked at the old man in disbelief.
"Successful!" The old man held up his eyes on the bridge of his nose and nodded with a smile.
The afternoon sun shines through the glass.
The white-haired old man bathed in the sun, smiled slightly, confident and arrogant, like a god.
After a brief silence, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted in the conference room.
All the ministers hugged together and celebrated the good news.
On the side, Bao Heizi moved his lips when he saw so many ministers losing their composure, but said nothing.
Dean Shen Tuo waited for everyone's excitement to calm down before he said with a smile: "Now, the Academy of Military Science and the Ministry of Munitions have produced the first batch of bombs. I would like to ask the Prime Minister if they should be sent to the battlefield now. superior?"
After thinking for a moment, Prime Minister Ouyang raised his head, looked at the old man who was regarded as a national treasure by Lu Heng, and asked, "Has it been tested? What is the effect?"
Dean Shen Tuo nodded and said: "It has been tested. The performance is very stable and the power is amazing!"
After hearing this, the Minister of Defense and others suddenly took a breath of cold air.
This old man who is used to seeing all kinds of explosions can say it is amazing. It seems that the power of this new bomb is definitely beyond everyone's imagination.
"Want to try?" After saying this, old man Shen Tuo's eyes shone, and he rubbed his fists and palms, looking eager to try.
Everyone looked at this old guy who was usually full of benevolence, morality, and sanctimoniousness, but now he looked like a war maniac, and they couldn't help but curl their lips.
Damn it, I usually think you are really a saintly old master, but I didn’t expect you to be like us.
"They are like birds of a feather!" the Minister of Defense said in a low voice to the Minister of Finance next to him.
The finance minister looked at him strangely, then took a step away calmly.
"What's wrong?" The Minister of Defense spread his arms, put on a posture that he thought was handsome, and raised his eyebrows: "Am I right?"
The chancellor smiled and looked away.
"You are a raccoon dog! We are human beings!" The Finance Minister's frivolous words almost choked the Defense Minister to death.
"Damn it, wasn't I just trying to make an analogy?" The Minister of National Defense wanted to argue, but he saw many colleagues looking at him with strange looks. He swallowed the words he spoke and kept them in his heart. He muttered something.
Here, a group of people are despising the Minister of Defense.
On the other side, Prime Minister Ouyang thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and rejected Shen Tuo's proposal.
"Why?" Shen Tuo looked eager to try, but suddenly became extremely disappointed.
On the side, the Foreign Minister glanced at the Prime Minister, smiled, and said slowly: "Sometimes, people are too powerful and make others afraid, or even stay away. This is true for people, and so is the country!"
Prime Minister Ouyang nodded and said softly: "Yes, we are always a country. If the principality wants to gain a foothold and develop in the Western Region, it cannot do without neighbors and friends. If we announce to the outside world that we have such weapons, I am afraid that the surrounding countries will Because of fear, they are wary of us and stay away from us. Maybe they will implement an embargo and blockade policy against us in order to restrict our development. If that really happens, we will have no choice but to fight again!"
Prime Minister Ouyang raised his head, looked at Shen Tuo who was thoughtful, and said with a smile: "These new weapons should be used as the country's strategic deterrent weapons. They should be kept secret for now. If any country dares to openly invade our principality, then we will Let him have a taste of what our Boss Shen can do!"
