Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Chapter 311 A battle of wits and courage in the parliament (additional update for rewards)

Waiter Quincy broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. Of course he knew that Hobert was not threatening himself, but threatening the congressmen and representatives from all walks of life in the conference room.

"Wait a moment." Quincy entered the conference room and reported to the lawmakers inside.

The person in charge of formulating relevant laws and regulations is Earl Wolfe, a member of the House of Lords, two members of the House of Representatives, which can also be called the House of Commons, as well as five law professors and eight representatives from all walks of life.

According to the constitution, the person in charge, Count Wolfe, only has the responsibilities of coordinating relevant resources, supervising the legislative process, and supervising the legislative process. He has no power to participate in the formulation of specific laws.

After a law is enacted, the House of Representatives and the House of Lords vote together to decide whether the bill is passed and takes effect.

The royal family, the government, and the military have no right to interfere in the entire process.

Earl Wolfe had also just sat down. After hearing the waiter's report, he still smiled gently: "Lawyer Hobert is different."

"My lord, this is against the rules!" Gusta, the president of Backlund Chamber of Commerce, said.

He is one of eight "representatives from all walks of life."

Other representatives also expressed that during the process of formulating laws and regulations, specific regulations cannot be made public.

Wolfe waited until everyone's speeches came to an end before saying: "Didn't you notice? Hobert is very good at using the power of public opinion."

Barzel, a member of the House of Commons and a big banker, said: "It's just a few reporters. I'll go see the presidents of Backlund Daily and Loen Citizen later. They don't dare to write anything."

Bazell also invested in two newspapers and was very influential in the newspaper industry.

"You don't understand Hobert's intention at all." Count Wolfe said: "Hobert is protesting the way we formulate the Labor Law."

In fact, a rough bill had been formed before this. The invitation to Hobert at this time was really just to go through the motions.

It was this way of letting him go through the motions that Hobert protested.

Gusta said: "Your Majesty, I think this is the House of Representatives, not the court. We can no longer indulge such pests and endanger the order of Backlund!"

Social representatives echoed the sentiment.

Wolfe still smiled and said to Quincy: "Okay, then insist on letting only Hobert in."

But there was already a bit of playfulness in his smile. As a good friend of Count Hall, he had heard Hall talk about Hobert occasionally. Count Wolfe knew more about Hobert than anyone else.

Even if he hadn't had a head-to-head confrontation with Hobert like Gusta, Count Wolfe's understanding of Hobert was deeper than Gusta's.

Sure enough, two minutes later, Quincey came in again wiping cold sweat: "Members of Congress, gentlemen, Lawyer Hobert said that he had an acquaintance with Archbishop Anthony and Archbishop Horamick.

"If reporters are not allowed in, he plans to invite the two archbishops to attend the meeting together to ensure the rights and interests of believers in the Church of the Goddess of Night and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery!"

Gusta added: "This is against the rules!"

But compared to the previous sentence "This is against the rules", it is obviously less powerful.

In this world where theocracy and political power coexist, religious figures have a great influence. At least Bishop Anthony's influence is greater than that of the parliamentarians.

Although they have no right to interfere with the formulation of the law, they can organize believers to hold demonstrations against the new bill. In that case, the status and influence of everyone present here who participated in the formulation of the law will be greatly affected, and someone may even be pushed out. Go to the stage and act as a scapegoat to appease public anger.

Of course, the more important thing is that everyone here needs the protection of one of the three churches of the Loen Kingdom, or to guarantee their reputation, expand their contacts, etc., so everyone is not willing to have any problems with the bishops. opposition.

The whole room was quiet for two or three seconds, and everyone looked at the three congressmen.

"Let them all come in." Bazell sneered: "Then show the bill we discussed to Hobert. If he takes a look at it, even if he just opens the cover, we will accuse him and the reporters of leaking unpublished information. The legal paperwork, I remember it was classified, could put them in jail for a few years."

Count Wolfe also did not expect that the seemingly boring task of formulating the Labor Law would be so interesting.

His mentality of watching a show is actually related to the fact that his interests are not in direct conflict with the content of this bill.

As a far-sighted aristocrat, he also invested, but only in stocks and not in specific management.

And because he was born in a noble family, rich people and workers are similar in his eyes, so he cares neither about the interests of rich people like Gusta nor the interests of workers.

For him, his purpose is only to expand his influence and improve his status in the political arena.

After receiving the clear order, Quincy went out again and asked Hobert and others to come in.

Jessica, who followed her in, felt that she had learned a trick. She also knew that Lawyer Hobert called her here today just to gain experience, so after entering the door, she honestly found a corner to sit down. Prepare to continue learning from Hobert's way of dealing with these so-called upper-class people.

Several reporters were a little flattered. Originally, they came here today just to give it a try, but they didn't expect that they could actually enter the parliament building and enter the conference room where laws are made.

Even if they can only listen in the corner, it will be enough for them to go back and brag for half their lives.

After Hobert entered the door, he greeted everyone politely, as if he was not the person blocking the door just now.

Especially among the law professors, there was one who was Hobert's former university teacher. After the two met, they complimented each other a few times, which relaxed the atmosphere for a while.

After Hobert sat down, Earl Wolf asked him: "Coffee or black tea?"

Everyone was stunned. This seemed to be Wolfe expressing his appreciation for Hobert in a subtle way, and also warning everyone not to go too far.

Hobert smiled and said: "Black tea, thank you."

Quincy, who had little political literacy, thought it was his dereliction of duty and bothered the Earl to ask Hobert what he wanted to drink, so he was somewhat trepidatious when serving tea.

After the meeting officially started, Bazel winked at Gusta. Since Wolfe had expressed his stance, he couldn't go too far, but he still had to control Hobert.

Gusta nodded slightly and threw a document to Hobert: "This is the outline of the bill we drafted. You can take a look at it first, or you can show it to the reporters."

Hobert didn't even touch it: "Sorry, I think this outline is inappropriate."

Gusta said: "If you don't look at it, how do you know it's inappropriate?"

"According to normal procedures, the 'social representatives' who participate in the formulation of laws and regulations must include people from all walks of life that may be involved in the law." Hobert said: "However, the eight here seem to only be businessmen, but there is no other subject: Worker.

“So I think such a legal outline is out of date and does not comply with relevant regulations.

"This is why I asked journalist friends to supervise. This is a question about the law-making process, not a question about specific regulations, so it cannot be considered a leak."

Count Wolfe changed his sitting position to hide his smile.
