Although the case went through intense debate for nearly a month, there was little suspense about the actual outcome. The Anxi District Court of the Kingdom finally ruled that the city hall lost the case. The "City Hall Institutional Reform Act" was not only contrary to the "Streamlining Act", but also unconstitutional.
Immediately afterwards, the Anxi Autonomous Territory Assembly dismissed Lu Zhengxuan, the chief executive of the Anxi City Hall.
At the same time, former prosecutor Li Fan, who had to resign after his lawyer license was banned, was opened for investigation by his former fellow prosecutors.
More than a month later, the Kingdom's House of Lords passed a blockbuster bill, the "Second Amendment to the Dominion Electoral Act."
Local councilors in various autonomous territories, cities, counties, towns, etc. in the Northern Territory no longer need to be nominated by official agencies. Any law-abiding adult citizen can sign up for election. As long as they pass the review of the local election committee and have no felony criminal record, they can
Can hold elections for local councillors.
However, members of the Dominion Parliament still need to be nominated by the Dominion Member Qualifications Committee of His Majesty the King's Privy Council.
At the same time, various local political parties and groups gradually increased in number.
However, according to the laws of the Kingdom, caucuses are loose civil organizations. Members must have equal status and free entry and exit. The existence of any management structure is prohibited. Any caucus discipline with punitive measures is prohibited. The membership model is equivalent to the membership club model, etc.
Otherwise, it will be regarded as an illegal organization and banned.
…
Shinkyo Palace.
Two special guests came, Her Royal Highness Christine, the Duke of East China Sea, and Lady Windsor, a noblewoman from the imperial capital.
The splendid banquet hall, the long and spacious banquet table, the snow-white tablecloth, and the bright candlesticks.
Lu Ming and Alice sat at the main seats, entertaining distinguished guests from afar.
Alice is wearing a snow-white lace dress and wearing a gorgeous platinum crown. Her beauty is even more spotless, like an angel in heaven.
Lu Ming was talking about recent news. For example, in the waters northeast of the Kingdom, a fishing boat lost its way, entered the deep sea for a long distance, and returned safely. Later, the detection ship that went there discovered that there seemed to be a specific area of electromagnetic interference in that direction.
It is greatly weakened, and the legendary sea monsters that devour fishing boats, dense reefs, strange whirlpools, and the terrible gravity of the seabed do not exist.
"Judging from the latest discoveries, it is possible to discover the island where the border tribes live, because the small fishing boat once found traces of human activities on a small island, including iron pots and jars." Lu Ming paused.
Said: "But the exploration team is very cautious and has not gone deeper yet. It has not found the island yet."
Christine spent most of her time tasting delicious food or smiling and listening to Lu Ming's words.
Lady Windsor seemed to have a lot to say. Looking at Lu Ming and Alice, who was like a child, Lady Windsor had a lot of emotion in her eyes.
At the beginning, when we wanted to bring this little brother and Her Royal Highness together, it was just a desperate move. How could we have imagined that today would happen?
However, it seems that it is completely different from the original idea. Her Royal Highness the Princess looks very happy, but she does not seem to have any ambition to compete for the position of the Great Emperor. With the King of Han protecting her, she truly enjoys a happy childhood.
And having said that, there is really nothing to fight for as the great emperor of the new empire.
"Qianxing, thank you." Mrs. Windsor was talking about how she was rescued quickly after being captured. The person who rescued her was a woman with an oriental face. She probably knew it was related to this younger brother.
Lu Ming smiled: "It's been almost a year, and you've said it many times on the phone. Besides, nothing will happen to you originally. Henry never thought of embarrassing you, I'm just worried."
Windsor shook his head gently: "That's not necessarily true. I always feel that there is something wrong with William suddenly becoming ten years older."
Lu Ming said nothing.
In fact, there is a vague feeling that the Western mysterious forces are mainly divided into two major factions, the Griffini faction and the Sonnian faction.
But for the Griffini faction, because the little one she raised was becoming more and more playful, Alice had no sense of urgency to fight for anything. Therefore, the awakening of this faction seemed to have been delayed by herself.
The Sonya faction is probably the descendant of the warlock group that made Queen Alice hate and plunge into darkness thousands of years ago.
The eldest prince was defeated easily, and this group played a huge role.
Over there, Windsor said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this, Qian Xing, you have done a great job in the Northern Territory. Going back to ten years ago, if you say that the Northern Territory will directly elect members, I won't believe it at all."
Lu Ming shook his head, "I don't know if what I made was the right choice, I can only let time prove it." He glanced at Kristine and said, "Kris, why haven't you spoken?"
Kristine smiled slightly: "I miss Her Highness the Princess very much. I have many things to say to her."
Lu Ming had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'm redundant. I'll finish the meal with you in a while and I'll leave. Your whispers will give you plenty of time." He added, "But tomorrow, a plane from Sanmai Company will make its first flight.
Let’s go together to the Nanping R&D base of Sanmai Company!”
Christine smiled and said: "This aircraft looks very special, so you want to attend the first flight ceremony?"
Lu Ming nodded: "Privately, I call this kind of aircraft a jet aircraft. It can be said that it is an epoch-making product. It is completely different from the way propeller-piston aircraft provide power. This aircraft that made its first flight is a large aircraft."
, used to transport or carry passengers.”
Seeing that Christine and Mrs. Windsor didn't have much reaction, they said: "Let's put it this way, its cruising speed can reach one thousand kilometers per hour, and its cruising range is about eight thousand kilometers."
Christine and Mrs. Windsor immediately looked up in shock, and Mrs. Windsor exclaimed softly, "No way?"
Lu Ming smiled: "So, I have to go take a look at the first flight tomorrow. You can go too."
"Then I must go and have a look!" Mrs. Windsor said with excitement on her face, "Qianxing, you are amazing. Many of the companies you invest in seem to be leading the way in technology!"
Lu Ming smiled and said: "How can there be!"
Lady Windsor clicked her tongue twice and said, "Don't be humble in front of us." Then she said with some expectation: "Then it only takes a little more than an hour to go back to Donghai from Xingjing? It only takes three or four hours to go to the Imperial Capital?
And there’s no need to stop for refueling?”
Lu Ming said helplessly: "It's not that fast. It just made its first flight tomorrow. Although judging from various early experiments, there is not much problem in the success of the first flight tomorrow. But when it is launched on the market and airlines buy it for long-distance routes, how many times will it take?"
It’s the New Year.” Then he smiled and said, “When the time comes, I will give each of Chris and you a modified special plane.”
Mrs. Windsor smiled and said: "That's pretty much it. Then Chris and I will be waiting for your gift!"
Lu Ming nodded: "When did I fail to fulfill my promise?" Looking at Kristine, who was wearing a gorgeous silver skirt and looking stunning next to her, he suddenly felt guilty. In fact, he originally wanted to put his feet under the dining table.
, to touch Christine's silver high-heeled shoes, but when I actually sat at the dining table, I felt different in my heart. Those dirty little actions were both disrespectful to Alice and disrespectful to Christine.
"Over in the Northeast Sea, you should be more careful when exploring. It snowed in the North this year, and new passages were discovered in the sea. I always feel that there are a lot of strange things." Christine said suddenly.
Lu Ming nodded slightly: "It seems that I am not the only one who feels this way."
