According to the content of the plan made with Lei Luo, Guanghui told a lot of lies at this moment. Few of the officials below believed it. After all, no one was a fool. Why didn't those officials launch a rebellion before?
Will it be activated after the Leaf Ninja arrives?
What's more, Konoha has had many conflicts with daimyo over policy issues before. The Hokage even arrived in the capital in person and appeared at today's court meeting. What this means is simply obvious.
The original daimyo is probably either dead or under house arrest, and Mitsue is definitely a puppet supported by the Hokage, but the Hokage did not use ninja methods to control her to avoid being false.
There were a total of thirty-two officials present, and in previous court meetings there would have been at least fifty people. So those officials who disappeared were probably purged by Guanghui and Lei Luo. This is the truth.
In other words, it was the Hokage who launched the rebellion, and Mitsue was an accomplice. This pair of men and women worked together in collusion, and now they are even brazenly talking about it at the court meeting, pouring dirt on the former daimyo and the dead officials. It is not too shameless.
only……
Since these people present were not die-hard loyalists of the original daimyo, no one spoke out to reprimand Guanghui at this moment. After all, it was clear what the situation was like:
Guanghui occupies the legitimate position, and Lei Luo possesses absolute force. The combination of these two people has the ability to clean out all opposition elements. Talking nonsense at this time will undoubtedly follow in the footsteps of those who died yesterday.
After thinking about this, the ministers of the Fire Country looked at their eyes, noses, and hearts one by one. For a while, except for the slight sound of breathing, there was no movement in the hall, which could be said to be audible.
However, the court meeting will definitely not be peaceful forever. After a brief thought, Chida Yu wanted to ask a few more questions to the new ruler of the Fire Country. Unexpectedly, at this time, another person spoke:
"Lord Guanghui, I would like to ask, is the role of this assembly and the cabinet to separate the powers that originally belonged to the daimyo so that officials such as myself can further our status?"
The speaker is over fifty years old. He is wearing a black luxurious court uniform and a slightly bulky body. His name is Fukuyama Ryusei. His official position is similar to that of Chida Yu. He is responsible for the appointment and dismissal of low-level officials and the payment of salaries. He is also
A great nobleman of the Fire Nation.
Fukuyama Ryusei did not pay attention to yesterday's coup. His focus at the moment was obviously on the two novel terms that Mitsue proposed at the beginning. His keen political sense told him that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It has to be said that there are not a few people who think about Fukuyama Ryusei. The ministers seemed to have realized something, and they all raised their heads and looked at Mitsue who was sitting on the high platform.
Noticing the doubtful and expectant eyes below, Guanghui said that he actually didn't know very well, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and look at Lei Luo again.
Seeing Guanghui looking sideways at him frequently, trying not to be too obvious, Lei Luo sighed in his heart, stepped forward and said loudly:
"Ministers, you should have heard about Konoha's new policy. My idea and the new daimyo's idea are to expand Konoha's new policy to the whole country."
"For this reason, it is necessary to change the political structure of the Fire Country, amend the constitution, and form a cabinet. You will take the lead and combine with the big businessmen of the Fire Country to discuss the future direction of the Fire Country in the parliament."
"This is a change that can make our Fire Nation stronger. The three powers of legislation, justice, and administration are no longer owned by the daimyo, but are jointly controlled by everyone."
Lei Luo's words resounded through the hall like a bolt from the blue. Dozens of Fire Nation officials looked at each other in shock and were speechless for a long time. Obviously, the information they heard was too shocking and too...unbelievable.
.
It wasn't until almost ten minutes had passed that anyone realized that a Fire Nation official raised his head. He was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He first glanced at Hui, and when he saw that she had no intention of speaking, he shifted his gaze to
On Lei Luo:
"Hokage-dono, may I understand this as Konoha is preparing to officially intervene in the internal affairs of the Land of Fire?"
The official who spoke was named Kageyama Mamoru, and he was nominally responsible for managing all the armed forces of the Land of Fire. However, since the generals held real power and Konoha was close to a semi-independent state, he was in charge of more
Handling criminal law and other aspects.
At this moment, Kageyama Mamoru suddenly asked this question. On the surface, it seemed to be an attack on Lei Luo. In fact, it contained some inexplicable deep meaning. If I had to describe it, Lei Luo felt that he seemed to be looking forward to it.
?
"You can understand it this way, but Konoha will not interfere too much with the formation of parliament and cabinet. Except for a few key projects that must be implemented, I neither want to nor can I take care of other things."
Lei Luo nodded first and then shook his head, trying to express his intentions clearly in the process. He looked at the thoughtful eyes below, thought for a while, and added seriously:
"The existence of the cabinet is an administrative organization that changes the government affairs of the Fire Nation from loose to centralized, from the big name's decision-making to collaborative processing, and from low efficiency to high efficiency."
"The existence of the parliament determines the revision of the Fire Nation's constitution, determines which of you present are qualified to enter the cabinet, and... determines the direction of our future actions in Konoha."
Having the opportunity does not necessarily mean that you will be able to enter this so-called parliament and cabinet, and enter this seemingly core department of the new government. The ministers heard the subtext of Lei Luo's words. After just a few seconds of silence, someone spoke up.
, it’s Chida Yu:
"See Daimyo-sama."
The old man first bowed deeply to Guanghui, then raised his head and looked seriously at Lei Luo. When their eyes met, some invisible information had been transmitted, and the old bureaucrat said:
"Hokage-dono, what are the requirements for joining the council?"
The cabinet only deals with administrative issues, which is not much different from what Fire Nation officials are doing now, but the parliament is completely different.
This organization can actually legislate, can completely replace the power of the daimyo, and even has the opportunity to drive Konoha ninjas including Lei Luo to do things. This attraction is too great.
As an old man with a long history in officialdom, Yu Chida would naturally not be unable to understand the current situation. He was the first to recognize Mitsue's status as a daimyo, and for what reason... it is almost self-evident.
Looking at Chida Yu for a moment, Lei Luo nodded slowly and imperceptibly. He did not answer the question clearly, but raised his head and said loudly to everyone:
"Members of parliament, referred to as congressmen for short, each congressman has the qualifications to discuss national affairs and decide the administrative line of the cabinet, and the candidates for congressmen..."
Looking sideways at Hui Hui, seeing that the other party was also looking at him intently, Lei Luo paused and directly concluded: "It will be decided by the daimyo and Konoha."
