"Miss Rachel, I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean?" Mary folded her hands on the table, and the expression on her face reminded Todd of the Queen's command when he first met her.
Unforgettable pride and aloofness.
For an ordinary person, facing such momentum, even speaking would be three points weaker, let alone tit-for-tat.
But her opponent was different.
Rachel, this woman with a mysterious life experience who was once a member of the Dispute Legion, looked around at the people around her, looked at the heavy snow falling outside the hall and said: "If I remember correctly, at this time last year, Mu Xi
The Knights are still in a dilemma of life and death..."
Although she didn't know why the woman in green across from her mentioned last winter, Mary, who secretly had a bad foreboding, darkened her face and braced herself up.
"Some people stayed to defend the honor of the Knights with their lives, while others chose to evacuate after the war began. Those days were the most difficult and dangerous times for Muxi Kingdom..." Rachel's words ended here.
Many people in the room showed distressed expressions, and the woman changed her subject: "The achievements of the Muxi Kingdom today are due to the efforts of everyone here. How can you just find a few so-called scholars to formulate peace and harmony?"
How about enforcing their so-called laws to restrain and govern us?”
Seeing the expressions of approval among the monks headed by Joe, Mary's face turned pale, she quickly exchanged glances with Ulysses, and said, "So do you mean to abandon the law? Just rely on personal will and
To decide and judge the right and wrong of everything in the kingdom based on your preferences?”
"I object to those scholars who have no merit and are new to the country, to assume the legislative, judicial and law enforcement responsibilities of the Muxi Kingdom. They are not qualified and do not have the power!" Rachel pointed the finger at the qualifications and abilities of the scholars.
When it comes to intelligence, Mary and Rachel are comparable; but when it comes to eloquence, how can a queen who has been hidden in the palace for a long time compare to a mutant who has been mediating among man-eating beasts for a long time?
Mary slapped the table hard, and her voice increased by three points unconsciously: "If this country has no laws and no rulings, sooner or later we will encounter riots like today again! At that time, who should we look for to judge?
Right or wrong?!"
"The supreme ruler of the Muxi Kingdom - the Holy Son!" Rachel looked at Mary with increasingly cold eyes: "He led the Muxi Kingdom to grow slowly, and we are all his subjects. Would you rather go?
Do you believe a few scholars who are full of theories, but choose to doubt our king? Please remember! In Twilight City, Lord Todd is the law!"
Mary was stunned, her hands hanging in the air.
King above all else?!
She thought of everything in the past. Her husband, the King of Yinhuan, signed his death certificate with his own hands almost ruthlessly. Something suddenly stuck in her throat - were all the king's decisions right?
, but thinking of Mu Xicheng and Todd, those words were swallowed back into her throat.
Todd, who was sitting on the high throne, frowned. Hearing this, even the stupidest person could tell what happened here.
The people in the meeting hall were divided into three factions: the academic faction, the alien faction and the neutral faction.
The academic faction headed by Queen Mary is mainly composed of students and scholars from Taylor City. They are the backbone of technology, research, education, literature, and art in Muxi City. When other countries put religion above truth, Muxi City
The emergence of the Western Kingdom is as precious to the academics as rain and dew after a long drought. However, although this force has been gradually growing, they do not have many seats in the top leadership of the kingdom, so they urgently demand to improve their political status.
The alien sect headed by Rachel is in charge of the industry, logistics and ethnic groups of the Muxi Kingdom. They have common interests and long-term visions. For them, the Muxi Kingdom is their refuge and their last home. Unity is the key to their survival.
Their motto is that any force that may shake the status of the aliens is the object of their vigilance. This time, Mary joined forces with the academics to use the formulation of laws and the establishment of courts as a guide to gain power, which happened to touch the taboos of the aliens.
.
As for Cumberland, Huggins, Friar Joe and Kendi, they are attached to and loyal to Todd and are neutrals.
At this time, Mary reorganized her thoughts and asked Rachel again: "I want to ask a question, if there are no specialized personnel to handle legislation, justice and law enforcement, and only rely on His Majesty, who is so busy every day, how can he
Where’s the time to manage everything?”
Rachel straightened her back: "First, His Majesty's will is the law of the Muxi Kingdom. The laws proposed by those scholars are above everything else. They are claims of power! They are conspiracy! They should be severely punished! Second, when it comes to legislation, justice and
In terms of law enforcement, His Majesty only needs to grasp the direction of the formulation of the law. As for the supervision and execution of the law, it can all be implemented by the army and alien species."
Mary's eyes widened: "Let the military and aliens take justice and law enforcement? Do you know what you are talking about?"
"The full name of the Muxi Kingdom is the Muxi Knights Kingdom, which means that our country is a military centralized country. During the war, we are required to use military power to realize the king's will, rather than using the rope of law to bind our hands and feet.
." Rachel glanced at Cumberland and said slowly: "Your Majesty is responsible for recruiting talented people to amend the law, the army is responsible for enforcing the law according to the king's will, and the aliens will be responsible for supervision and reporting."
Mary listened carefully to Rachel's speech and suddenly grasped the key to the problem: "You said that aliens can undertake the work of supervision and reporting, so how can you ensure that the military's actions are legal? How can you ensure that every piece of information that His Majesty can get?
Are they all real?”
The latter said with a smile: "The hive ability allows the successors to share information and thoughts. When the army enforces the law, the aliens responsible for justice can monitor every move of the army as long as they are equipped with a suitable hive to ensure that they do not overdo it.
Law enforcement. The king's guards can use the hive to control the actions of judicial aliens to ensure that there will be no problems with law enforcement and justice."
Todd heard this and probably understood the separation of powers of this so-called military centralized system. Strictly speaking, this is not a closed loop of power. The king has supreme power and can make arbitrary changes and control over legislation, judiciary and law enforcement.
In essence, this separation of powers is still a type of authoritarian system.
In the conference hall, matters concerning the formulation of laws and the introduction of scholars came to an end, and the result was the victory of the alien faction.
Todd adopted Rachel's suggestion and began to build a legal system for a military centralized state. But on the other hand, he also took into account the sentiments of the academics and invited people such as Elijah, Machiavelli, and Bertanliu.
Scholars are waiting to help amend the laws of the Kingdom of Muxi Knights.
As for the handling of the riots, the marriage contract between the merchant's daughter and the weaving and dyeing shop owner, a young pair, had preceded it and was blessed by the Father in Heaven, so it was ruled to be valid. The merchant was greedy for money and the old widower was greedy for sex, so they were sentenced to fifteen lashes each.
And paid fines; a total of sixteen people who initiated the riot were sentenced to death; other immigrants who participated in the riot were deprived of their free citizenship and sentenced to hard labor....
