C1725 Ryukyu government (2/2)
But he didn't expect that Liu Chouchu wasn't angry at all, and was smiling instead, ”Alright, alright! None of you are on the right track, you're all being political... ”” No, I'm not, ”I said.” ”No, no. ”Of course it's dedicated to us!”
”Where is our root? It's right at the Chinese Statute Book! This is our fundamental constitution, and no law that extends in the future can go against this fundamental constitution... The prime minister and us will die one day, and only this original Chinese Statute Book will not die, he will protect us Chinese for generations to come! ”
”But, the constitution is just a book, in the end, does the government still need someone to handle matters?”
Pah pah pah … Liu Chouchu clapped his hands and laughed, ”That's right, that's why when King Shang Tai offered his authority, he swore an oath to the Chinese Statute Book, but in reality, he has done so to our parliament!”
”All the Grand Council in Ba City, now that the main body of the project has been completed, there is only detailed work to be done on the renovation left. I heard that all the God of Fortune, you all, had an itch in your hearts, before the Consultation Building was finished, you all went to the meeting to enjoy yourself?”
”The upper house and the Lower House are the core areas for the Chinese government discussions. The main policies and votes are all set here, and the upper houses directly elect the successive prime ministers. This is where the King Shang Tai has contributed his people!”
”At that time, the Prime Minister will personally host the political ceremony. King Shang Tai will offer the Ryukyu Kingdom his household register to prove that the Ryukyu Kingdom will never change!”
”The High Council shall have the legislative power, the budgetary power and the power to appoint and remove nobles … At that time, King Shang Tai would put the seal of the Ryukyu's Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Revenue and Ministry of Rites on the documents regarding political participation … From then on, King Shang Tai will no longer have the legislative authority over the Ryukyu, as well as the executive power over the Ministry of Public Affairs and the Ministry of Rites.
The Army Council will handle the matters of the Chinese war, when that time comes, King Shang Tai will personally go to the main hall of the Army Council, present the seal of the Army and present the letter for the army. From now on, you will be appointed and removed from the army general, and any way to command the war will have nothing to do with King Shang Tai!
”Consultation bore a part of the blame from the Ministry of Revenue, but the control of the treasury is in the hands of the Prime Minister, so the only thing the Consultation can do is to accept the letter of offer, without the seal of the Ministry of Revenue. That is because the seal is to be handed over to the Prime Minister …”
”The Science Society is basically just an upgrade for the work department, but the seal of the work department is also dedicated to the Prime Minister, and the Scientific Council accepts the message of offering political services …”
”Finally, there is the Public Council, which is the place where ordinary citizens discuss politics and is where the Chinese educate their citizens. At that time, part of the Ministry of Rites and Ministry of Revenue's functions will be merged into this place. Of course, King Shang Tai has to go through a political devolution ceremony …”
”The ceremony started with the Lower House, then to the upper house, then to the citizen council, the scientific council, and finally to the military council. After five political offering ceremonies, King Shang Tai completely gave up all rights of the Ryukyu Kingdom …”
”Finance, military, personnel, justice, diplomacy All of the regime that belonged to King Shang Tai was handed over to the Chinese Parliament. The Chinese Parliament gave the authority to the Chinese Prime Minister … ”From then on, the Chinese no longer have the title of Prime Minister. After changing it to the title of Prime Minister, it's basically a process like this. Who would have any doubts …”
Liu Chouchu blinked his eyes and looked at everyone, but he discovered that everyone was already dumbstruck. No one said a word, because no one knew what to say.
”This, this, this, this …” This nation of Ryukyu... Is it gone just like that? ” Someone in the crowd mumbled softly.
After ten minutes passed, Boss Mi suddenly said, ”I really don't understand, what benefits does Shang Tai doing this have? Can he really agree to it? ”
