My name is Ren

Chapter 342 Chapter [-] Absolute Power Breeds Absolute Absurdity, If You Give Me Benefits, I'll Sell My Loyalty to You

It was the first time for Ren to come to the Imperial Parliament to watch the entire voting process. He found it a little strange, a little funny, and more dignified.The uncertainty brought about by this voting method is far more crazy than the one-time result. Any potential enemy will suddenly surface at this moment, and some neutrals who were originally negotiated may also invest in the other party. camp.Although there may be new supporters, the changes are so complex that no one dares to take it lightly.

People outside the Reichstag will never feel the tense and treacherous atmosphere in this hall!
It may be to take care of Rennes for the first time. Queen Pars sat next to him and explained to him, "The current three speakers are Isaac, Pelagos and Gavin, and Nongaler is a rising star, so He didn't even get the position of a speaker. The speaker is personally appointed by the previous speaker, which can be regarded as a hereditary system. In the parliament, as long as three speakers vote against at the same time, one round of voting rights can be added. The maximum number of times is seven, and it is rare for such a long vote to occur."

Queen Pars pushed Ren's shoulders with her shoulders. The two sat very close and looked very intimate, which somewhat surprised the nobles sitting behind.This kind of surprise is a very subjective emotion. Maybe they think there is something between Queen Pars and Rennes, and some people think it is a symbol of the unity of the golden nobles.Only a few looked pensive, apparently thinking differently from the rest.

Queen Pars pursed her lips, Ren followed the trend, and Nongalare sat bored in the first row of seats. He was surrounded by at least a dozen MPs. These people all had a straight face, watching from time to time To the other nobles in the venue.

"Nongale wants to nominate the speaker's seat, but the parliamentary system was established during the period of Orlando II, and no one can give him a speaker's seat. Compared with others, he hopes that the imperial parliament will be restructured ..." Queen Pars lowered her voice, the voice was so low that only Ren could understand it clearly, "I have already had a private meeting with him, and if the parliamentary restructuring is successful, we will support his nomination and run for speaker."

In the parliamentary restructuring, in addition to the ordinary voting seats will be expanded to [-] seats, the three speaker seats will also be expanded to five.One of the two extra speaker's seats is already arguably reserved by Noongaler.Among the leaders of the three major aristocratic groups, only Nongalare is a member of the parliament. The speaker status of Isaac and Pelagos made him feel inferior to these two, which also caused Northwest The Noble Group and the Southwest Noble Group look down on the emerging coastal forces.

There will always be conflicts among the nobles. On the surface, no conflicts broke out between the leaders of the three noble groups, but secretly, Nongalare is one of the people who most want to overthrow the other two guys. one.Only in this way can he have a chance to win a speaker's seat from them.

Fortunately, the restructuring of the Imperial Parliament gave him hope, and he stood by Pars without hesitation. The big pie of the speaker is more attractive than anything else.

One of the other two protagonists, Pelagos, stood with a group of people in a corner of the venue, and Pelagos was surrounded by them. He was saying something at this time, and the surrounding nobles nodded one after another.As if sensing that someone was spying on him, he raised his head and swept across the venue, and saw Ren who was watching him from the spectators at a glance.He grinned at Ryan, nodded, and waved.Ryan had to return the salute as a sign of respect.

"Pylargos is not very interested in parliamentary reform, and it is also one of the biggest variables in this vote." Queen Pars held her hands together, clasping her five fingers together. In the occasion, she should show the dignity and majesty that a queen should have. "Currently, there are [-] seats in the Imperial Parliament, and nearly [-] seats support Pelagos. He has already occupied a dominant position. The reform of the parliament will not bring him any more advantages. Pull him to the same starting line as us. Don’t look at him nodding happily in Congress, but his heart is extremely dirty, and this time he is the person most likely to affect the vote.”

Afterwards, Queen Pars introduced most of the congressmen to Rennes. During this period, Gan Wen rang the golden bell, and the second round of voting began.

The congressmen all returned to their seats, and the entire meeting hall was silent. Everyone had a serious face, and there was no superfluous expression on their serious faces.Only in their eyes, some strange luster can be seen.

"The second vote on the revision plan of the imperial parliamentary system begins..." Gan Wen read out the content of the vote, and then began to count the votes.

There is no secret ballot method. According to the roll call of the staff on one side, the MPs need to stand up and express their agreement or rejection.The final votes will be recorded and counted to give an exact result.

"Earl Tretter..."

"agree!"

"Baron Luna..."

"agree!"

"Lord Orsett..."

"be opposed to!"

The simple process made people nervous involuntarily. Queen Pars pursed her lips tightly, her eyes fixed on Isaac and Pylagos on the presiding stage.Compared with Pelagos' clear-cut opposition, Isaac's attitude is somewhat unpredictable.Half of the MPs under him voted against it, and some people voted for it. It seems that he is maintaining a relatively balanced situation between the two sides.

This involves disputes and fornications of interests. The first round of voting can only be regarded as a tentative vote. People with interests will stand up at this time and tell others that I can be traded.When the previous round of downtime passed, many unseen transactions had already occurred.It may be a very direct face-to-face communication, or it may be an action or even a look.

The second round of voting obviously did not achieve what Queen Pars hoped, and finally rejected the passage of the plan in the second round with 61 votes against.

The number of votes is very subtle. Half of the votes are only 54 votes, which means that there are seven votes more in opposition, but compared with the first round, nearly 30 people have changed their original intentions, from the one in favor to the one against.

Queen Pars frowned tightly, this situation did not exceed her expectations.Some people can agree or disagree. They don't have any ideals and ambitions, nor do they have any firm ideas. They are purely to maximize the benefits.Walking from one side to the other itself determines their "tradability", and this round of voting can only be regarded as the first round of betting.

After the final vote count was announced, Gan Wen rang the golden bell twice, and the second round of break began.

Gan Wen tidied up the scattered forms on the table that recorded the entire voting process, left the speaker's seat and walked to Queen Pars.He glanced at Ren, nodded, and walked to a corner where there was no one with Queen Pars.Ren saw two forms in his hand, both of which were lists of [-] congressmen, and some marks were drawn under some lists to mark that these people had changed their positions.

After the two exchanged in low voices for a while, Gan Wen immediately walked towards the three members of parliament who were closest to him.According to Queen Pars's introduction, these three MPs do not belong to any party and are representatives of the Fence Faction.These people can be won over, although they are not so loyal to the royal family, but on the basis of benefits, they will never be swayed by their own feelings.

Gan Wen communicated with these three people for less than 3 minutes, he nodded, stood up with a slight smile on his face, and walked towards the other two councilors.

This blatant act of "buying tickets" really opened Ryan's eyes. He had known for a long time that the absurdity of the Imperial Parliament had broken through the sky, but he did not expect that all the transactions and compromises were under the watchful eyes of everyone!

The bills and policies voted on in this way only make people feel indescribably ridiculous.

The three congressmen that Gan Wen first contacted followed by two rounds of transactions. They sat together and started a slightly heated discussion. Obviously, the prices offered to them by the three parties were not much different, and it was difficult to make a decision. choice.

The whole venue was filled with whispering voices, like mice grinding their teeth in those mouse holes in the middle of the night, making a noise that was not too strong but disturbing enough.The eyes of these people are constantly communicating in the air, and they are gesturing some secrets that only they themselves know.The scene here suddenly reminded Ren of the huge trading markets on Earth.People are all blushing under a number plate with a clearly marked price.

It's just that people trade money and goods in the market, but interests and loyalty are traded here.

loyalty?

It's only for a while, when someone who offers a higher price appears, they will become devoid of loyalty!

Soon, the second round of break was over, Gan Wen returned to the host stage and rang the golden bell.

The third round of voting begins.

Good things often have twists and turns. This time, the voting in favor led by a slight advantage, only three votes more than the opposing side.In the absence of a landslide victory, the fourth round of voting will automatically begin.

This time, Empress Pars came off in person!
The prospect became different from the plan, and Queen Pars had to make a deal with some people in order to pass the plan.As the emperor of the empire, her identity and status are all about being supreme, and she is inherently overwhelming.At the same time, she is the object of verbal allegiance to all the nobles, and the effect of her personal canvassing is much higher than the result of Gan Wen's canvassing.
