Chapter 1113: The Alternation of History

Xie Ming.

He was woken up early in the morning, then surrounded by people, and brought to the Taihe Hall at this time.

That's right.

It was the Golden Throne Hall.

For the past few days, Xie Ming had constantly harbored thoughts of resistance in his heart.

But when the Imperial Guard appeared before him, he knew that he would ultimately be unable to avoid today's proceedings.

Although the Imperial Guard protected the royal family, they had actually always maintained neutrality throughout history.

At least up until now, they were still carrying out the orders of the former emperor, Xie Tianyao.

Xie Tianyao's orders were naturally very clear.

Constitutional Monarchy...

He wanted to use the restriction of his own son's power to trade for a vast and prosperous land for Longyan.

The Commander of the Imperial Guard would naturally not have any defiance toward Xie Tianyao.

Xie Ming could only obediently come here.

Taihe Hall...

This Vice Minister Liu! It's too much! Who doesn't know that this Taihe Hall is the Golden Throne Hall! It is the highest palace representing imperial power! He actually wants to turn the entire Golden Throne Hall into a Cabinet! Liu Zheng directly proposed turning the Taihe Hall into the Cabinet, the Zhonghe Hall into the Upper House, and the Baohe Hall into the Lower House!

Liu Zheng's Constitutional Monarchy was naturally not that simple.

He emulated the systems of Britain and other constitutional monarchies from his past life, and after copying the homework, he discussed it with these Feudatory Kings and ministers, combining it with the national conditions of Longyan to create the Constitutional Monarchy system.

The Cabinet.

It was naturally the power hub of the entire Longyan; nine Cabinet Members would make decisions here regarding all kinds of major events for Longyan in the future. Beyond the nine Cabinet Members, there would also be nine members of the Upper House behind each of them; it would become very lively here when the time came.

And below the Cabinet was the Upper House, and below the Upper House was the Lower House.

Let's talk specifically about the difference between this Upper House and Lower House.

Longyan's Upper House included those Feudatory Kings, Old Aristocrats, New Aristocracy, and Scholar-officials. In other words, these people who previously occupied very important weight in Longyan's political structure would still obtain the power they wanted, and the distribution of power would be more explicit and more refined. These members of the Upper House were naturally also elected from the thousands of Feudatory Kings, Nobles, and Scholar-officials. The members of the Upper House had the authority to veto bills passed by the Lower House. In Britain and the Upper Houses of some European countries, there was the possibility of heredity.

But in Longyan, absolutely not!

This was the result of Liu Zheng's forceful changes.

He absolutely would not allow any hereditary nobles to appear in Longyan, other than the restricted monarch!

For a Constitutional Monarchy, this was absolutely a regression in history!

He knew that Britain's Constitutional Monarchy had given many people compromises. However, he did not need it; he did not need to compromise!

Today, he was very forceful.

Even if he was already being reviled by people now, and would continue to be reviled for a long time to come, he still had to maintain his current forcefulness.

And the Lower House was very easy to understand. Their composition was more of those gentry, wealthy merchants, and representatives from all walks of life who had emerged with the development of Longyan's industry and commerce. Simply put, they were the representatives of the House of Representatives or the House of Commons; this part usually had a larger number of people, each representing the class interests of their respective fields. They would engage in debates, or even arguments and quarrels, in the Lower House...

But do not think that the power of the Upper House would be greater than that of the Lower House.

Why say that?

Because the Lower House had legislative power, financial power, and administrative oversight power. But the Upper House only had the power of suspension and veto, as well as the authority to review and decide whether to pass bills passed by the Lower House. To put it clearly, the Upper House itself had no legislative power; they only had the power to pass or veto.

In other words, the Lower House was the main body responsible for providing content, while the Upper House was only responsible for review

and the authority to decide whether to pass it.

For example.

The Lower House could pass a "Commercial Law" and then submit it to the Upper House for processing.

But the Upper House itself could not draft this law.

This was the difference between the two.

Mutually dependent, yet mutually checking and balancing.

At this moment.

This Taihe Hall was already overcrowded.

Because today, Liu Zheng would join with the Prince of Qin, Zhu Zhen, to announce that Longyan's Constitutional Monarchy was officially beginning to be implemented!

"Hahahaha, congratulations, Lord Wang! This time, the status of an Upper House member is definitely yours!"

"Congratulations to you too!"

"It's just that Lower House..."

"Sigh..."

People were arguing with each other.

Congratulating each other, and complaining to each other...

A new system could always make people excited, a new system could always make people eager to try, but a new system also always broke people's conventions.

Xie Ming.

Seeing the scene in such a mess, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!

Bastards!

A bunch of bastards!

They are all a bunch of bastards!

Don't they know that this is the Golden Throne Hall?!

They should be looking at him respectfully! They should be kneeling on the ground, instead of whispering to each other like this!

He felt that he was about to lose control.

However, the atmosphere at the scene was just like this.

After people came in, they formed their own groups, and after kneeling, they didn't even look at Xie Ming again.

Everyone knew it.

Longyan was about to change.

They were waiting.

They were waiting for the arrival of Liu Zheng, the mastermind behind all of this, Vice Minister Liu!

"Vice Minister Liu has arrived!"

"Vice Minister Liu has arrived!"

Just at this moment.

The eunuch outside finally began to chant in a loud voice.

Everyone felt a jolt of energy and turned their heads one after another.

Xie Ming was once again exasperated.

Was he still the Emperor of Longyan?

With this kind of spectacle, perhaps this Liu Zheng was the one who truly was!

"Vice Minister Liu!"

"Greetings to Vice Minister Liu!"

"May Vice Minister Liu be in good health!"

"Vice Minister Liu, long time no see!"

As expected.

As Liu Zheng walked in, people revealed fawning expressions one after another.

The Prince of Qin and Zhu Zhen also walked over.

At this time.

Xie Ming, sitting on the Dragon Throne behind, seemed to have completely become a conspicuous background.

Those with keen eyes were already observing the scene before them deeply.

Because they knew.

A scene like this, I fear, has only happened once in history.

They knew.

Longyan would undergo a thorough transformation after today.

They knew...

Longyan would appear before the world in a new way.

This scene.

Liu Zheng, surrounded by everyone.

The exasperated Xie Ming.

The imposing Brocade Guards at the side.

The eager expressions on everyone's faces.

Thus frozen in time.

This is the progress of history, and likewise, it is the changing of the guard of history.

Although they all did not know what this transformation would bring to Longyan...

But...

The vast Longyan.

Would absolutely not fall so easily!

No matter how many hardships and obstacles lie in the future, they would all forge ahead!
