My cemetery is connected to the game world
Chapter 282 Entering the election cycle
In the far north of the empire, there are only two months of warm season every year. The disease in Melissa's blood makes her stay in warm places, so she chooses to return to the northern border to visit her parents every year during the warm season. She cannot climb the iceberg snow peak, but must live in the warm castle built for her at the foot of the mountain.
This year, Melissa has missed the best time to go back to visit her family because of the work of the 13th Investigation Team. If she does not go back this time, she will have to wait another ten months.
So when she heard that Helot was going to give her a vacation, the first thing she thought of was her father and mother whom she had not seen for a long time.
Helot said: "Get ready today and leave tomorrow. Send my regards to Duke and Lady Elwin, and the purity of ice and snow will last forever above the polar regions."
Melis smiled and said: "On behalf of my father and mother, I thank you, Mr. Claulund. The friendship between the Elwin family and the Claulund family has never changed due to the wear and tear of time."
Helot couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect you to say such meaningless noble words. My blessings all come from my heart."
Melis raised her eyebrows and said playfully: "What I said also comes from my heart. No matter what happened in the past few hundred years, the friendship between you and me should be the same as that of our first generation ancestors. "
Hellot looked at Melissa and said, "Yes, you are right. The friendship between the Elwin family and the Claulund family has not changed at all because of the wear and tear of time."
Melis also looked at Helot, but quickly avoided his gaze: "I, I will leave tomorrow. I will tell the watchmen that they will obey your command.
You must be very tired after riding the airship for such a long time. You should go back and rest quickly!"
Hellot stretched his waist, and his bones snapped for a while: "Yes, I am a little tired. It is even more tiring to meet His Majesty. I will go back and rest. Tell me when you leave tomorrow and I will send you off."
"Okay!"
Melis sent Helot out of the door. After closing the door, she couldn't help but lean against the door and slowly sat on the ground. Her frowning brows and bitten lips showed the pain she was suffering at the moment.
Blood flowed out of her nose and turned into blood-colored ice crystals and fell on the ground.
During this period of time, she forced the opening of the Aurora Bloodline continuously, making the bloodline more seriously injured, to the point where it was difficult to suppress with drugs. The pain made it difficult for her to stand up. She sat on the ground with her hands on her knees, and her tears turned into transparent ice crystals and blood-colored ice crystals falling together.
The next day, Melissa, who was in a normal state, boarded a special airship to the northern border. She sat in the cabin and waved goodbye to Helot through the glass window.
But Helot did not notice the special emotion in Melissa's eyes.
After seeing Melissa off, he returned to the Golden Pinewood Apartment.
The next period of time was the election cycle of the National Parliament of the Glory Oath Empire.
The ruling structure under the Emperor of the Glory Oath Empire consists of the court, the National Parliament and government agencies.
The court ministers are appointed by the Emperor of the Empire. Most of them hold real power and are directly responsible to the Emperor of the Empire.
The National Parliament is not directly controlled by the Emperor of the Empire. It has 145 seats and is the place where the imperial aristocracy speaks. The resolutions passed by the National Parliament belong to the collective demands of the imperial aristocracy. Even the Emperor of the Empire must pay attention to it. The Speaker of the Parliament is elected by the members of Congress.
The government agency is the executive department of the Empire. Its members are national civil servants who are selected through examinations and assessments.
The third prince Terenas is a court minister.
Helot's mother Irina is running for a member of the National Parliament.
Director Kulibale of the Imperial Commercial Investigation Bureau is an imperial civil servant.
Since the Blood Rebellion, the Imperial National Parliament has been firmly controlled by the aristocracy. The parliament serves the aristocracy, and naturally conflicts with the imperial power.
Now that Emperor Bradley is in power, there are more and more emerging big businessmen who have benefited from the development of the times. Rich big businessmen want to gain power to protect their own interests, and Emperor Bradley also wants to mix sand in the parliament.
So the two sides hit it off tacitly.
Every time the National Parliament election cycle begins, Emperor Bradley will issue some titles. All civilians who have made preparations for the election of members and obtained a certain number of noble recommendation letters can donate a sum of money to the empire to obtain the title of "honorary lord".
Only with a title can you be eligible to participate in the election of members of parliament.
Then after the primary election and the formal election, 145 seats of members of parliament were finally determined.
In the last parliament, the new nobles representing the interests of big businessmen won 36 seats. Although it is far from more than half, as long as they are willing to spend money, many resolutions that are beneficial to the emerging businessmen have been passed without affecting the fundamental interests of the aristocracy.
In this parliamentary election, the emerging businessmen are gearing up, and some have set their sights on more than 40 seats.
The old-school conservative aristocrats are also making frequent moves to drive all these so-called new aristocrats out of parliament.
Among them, Irina is the focus of these aristocrats because she is a woman.
According to the financial resources and influence of the Tomorrow Group, if the person in power is a man, he would have entered parliament long ago.
But the aristocratic inheritance is sons first. If there is no son, there are brothers and nephews. Only when the main heirs of the family die, women may inherit the family, and the result is likely to be swallowed up by other aristocrats.
Therefore, the Imperial Congress is a man's game. It is difficult for women to obtain a title, let alone be elected as a member of parliament.
Irina's announcement of her candidacy for a member of parliament is a humiliation for some masters.
There is also a force that wants to annex the Tomorrow Group and block Irina's candidacy for a member of parliament.
Of course, there are also forces for survival.
The Black Gold Group has had a very difficult time recently. The extremely cost-effective steam engine launched by the Tomorrow Group is impacting the low-end machinery industry with an unstoppable momentum.
The repaired and modified machinery is not as cheap as the brand new one. Who wants your uneven quality stuff?
And after the Black Gold Group bought this steam engine back, it disassembled it and found that it could not make it, which was even more depressing.
It can't compete in innovation, and it can't compete in technology.
If Irina enters the Congress, it is estimated that it can't compete in connections.
When it learned that the Claulund family and the Tomorrow Group had joined forces, the Black Gold Group felt that it had been pushed to the edge of the cliff. If it didn't fight hard again, it would only become someone else's dinner.
No matter what the cost, don't let Irina get the title of "Honorary Lord".
The Black Gold Group issued this order.
The same order was also executed by other forces.
