Chapter 1,452 The Way of God

Lin said: "In the past, the lord of a place had overall control over all matters in the territory, and could be said to have concentrated all powers in one person. Now the constitution has three powers, and the executive power certainly belongs to those who can form a cabinet. Going to Parliament means that it is still in the hands of the nobles. Legislation depends on a show of hands by the members of the Lower House. Although in name they are just the puppets in the hands of the nobles, in fact the power is already in their hands. Only this judicial power , there is no proper arrangement yet.”

The Pandaren said excitedly: "So, the judicial power must be handed over to His Majesty Al." The excited tone sounded like it was done.

Putting judicial power in the hands of a god? Don't be stupid, if you really do that, even if you survive the fight with the Lord of Guardians, the old men in the empire will fight you to the death.

Even if the whole thing is not pornographic, it will transform from British style to French style and lead to a vigorous bug death. So in the face of the panda people's high emotions, Lin poured a bucket of cold water on them, shook his head and said, "Of course not."

A blow that made Bibi's mood weaken on the spot. However, the atmosphere in the surrounding air became chaotic and sharp. It seemed that the person behind him was on the verge of going crazy.

Lin did not let people think wildly, and said directly: "It is impossible to cut off the power that belongs to the empire and hand it over to the hands of the gods. Those nobles will definitely resist to the death. Unless there is another holy war, The church also needs to be able to win and conquer the empire. But this is definitely the worst way."

"Is there a good way?" Bibi asked. At the same time, the surrounding atmosphere is relatively calm.

"Yes, of course there is. And I have already suggested that you do it, but most people are not willing to cooperate."

The part someone meant was that he once mentioned to the Empress to contact the Church of the Gods and ask them to send representatives to elect members. The church accepted the olive branch offered by the empress, but the development of things was not exactly as someone imagined.

The church did provide a lot of help to the empress in nominating representatives for election, which allowed the empress' power to grow by leaps and bounds, even though other nobles complained about it. But when it comes to allowing people from the church to enter the parliamentary system, their behavior is much more cautious.

Although the door is open, no one has crossed the threshold yet. Everyone was afraid that there might be some kind of trap hidden behind the door, and a few of them would be killed if they entered.

Judging from the level of the underage Pandaren in front of me, nine out of ten people would not know about this matter. Lin didn't bother to do it himself or wait for the person behind him to do the popularization, and said directly: "I can't understand that you feel that joining the parliament is like being inferior to others and aggrieved. But have you ever thought about the issue of the right to speak? There are many things, There is a difference between standing outside the door and shouting and standing inside the door.”

Seeing the panda man tilting his head in deep thought again, Lin knew that even if the person in front of him didn't understand, the person behind him did. So he continued:

"Outside the door, as long as the door is closed, it is useless to shout at the throat, unless you smash the door. But as long as the door is broken, it violates the prohibition, no matter what you shout, it will not matter. But inside the door, everyone has a tacit understanding, Discuss it. Maybe the first time is not satisfactory, but if you can discuss it the second or third time, maybe everyone will give in and things will be different. If you don't even have a chance to speak, how can you fight for what you want? What you want. Unless you have the ability to break through the door and knock everyone down."

"Doing this will allow His Majesty Al to take judicial power into his hands?" Bibi asked again.

Lin shook his head and said: "This is not to divide any power. Unless the Lord of Justice is willing to join the Karlsruhe Empire and become a part of the empire, this kind of thing can be realized. Since such a premise cannot be achieved, Then we will settle for the next best thing, as long as we have the right to speak within the new framework.

"In order to achieve this, there must be members of the church in the parliament. But they do not serve as members as bishops or priests. Instead, they first become members as subjects of the empire, and at the same time they have members within the church. The position of bishop or priest. Anyway, there is no rule prohibiting members of parliament from holding concurrent posts.

"Then the first step is to persuade the upper and lower councils to agree to set up a court, or a tribunal, or whatever the name is. But try not to seem to have anything to do with the church. Then select appropriate talents to study the newly formulated laws as judges. The basis for determining the criminal's punishment is not based on the lord's mood."

The Pandaren excitedly interjected: "Can we seize the judicial power in this way?"

A certain time traveler was speechless for a while, covering his head and said: "Brother, you don't want to rob it. This can be robbed. The so-called high mountains and flowing water, smooth and silent. If you do things so rough, you can't be a bandit. Let me tell you, I think When the power is divided among the lords, it is inevitable that there will be resistance from the lords in various places at the beginning. But this matter can be easily solved, as long as the members of their families can take charge of it."

Lin counted on his fingers and said: "With such a big family, the head of the family may not have time to deal with those trivial things all day long. If something big happens, then probably don't do other serious things and just be busy with one thing." .

"So such a division will not cause much opposition. Because the higher the status, the things that one person can handle are limited, and they will delegate power to other trusted people, and then control the supervision method and final decision. We It’s just a matter of making this entrustment relationship clear and cultural.

"Then for those territories where there are insufficient manpower, the empire's parliament sends some knowledgeable people to help, and the salary is paid by the central government. This is not excessive. And these knowledgeable people who are well-educated in law can be the second son of a noble, or they can be members of the church. For the idle people inside, this is no problem.

"But the most interesting part is here. As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison. As long as the people in the church are not too bad and specialize in some bad behaviors of seeking power for personal gain and flattering the superior and undermining the inferior. If others do it, then it will be fine. Compare. If you compare more, your reputation will come out.

"Who wouldn't want their earthly court to be presided over by a fair and just person? Even if they can't urge others to put all the courts under the jurisdiction of the church, it can still make other people who are not the church restrain themselves and not do things that are too ugly. Yes. Bar."

"Then, the most important point." Lin pretended to be mysterious, leaned forward and lowered his voice and said: "Although the election of members of the Parliament is open to all churches, His Majesty thinks which church has the best people to run this matter."

There is no god with concepts of 'fairness' and 'justice' in Lost Land. Because all gods came from the post-dark age after the death of the Demon King thousands of years ago, and were achieved by annihilating the Dark Legion, so the concept of becoming a god is mostly mixed with the attribute of martial arts.

The god closest to the needs of justice on the table is really the Lord of Justice. So this elder was already in someone's scheme, but he never found a chance to pull her into the trap. Until today, the old man came to his door.

Lin felt proud. Before Bibi could ask again, he answered the first question of today's meeting. Said: "At the beginning, didn't you want to ask how to draw the line for exercising justice? I can't answer this question. But if you are willing to join the court system, then the matter will be very simple. What about the law? According to the regulations, you must uphold your true intentions, do not indulge in wrongdoing, and treat everyone equally. In this way, even if you do not deliberately spread the faith, the name of the Lord of Justice, the Protector of the Three Holy Lights, will surely be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

The Pandaren were not fooled by the saying that 'faith can be deeply rooted in people's hearts', but hesitantly asked: "Using the laws set by humans as the criterion, is it okay to do this? What if a ridiculous law is made, like Do I have to follow the rules like the first night right?"

Looking at the panda's easy-to-talk appearance, is it his Majesty who personally ended up?

Lin laughed and said: "Why not. The first night right is not very accurate when it is said to be a girl's first night. In fact, when people get married, the lord has the right to enjoy the woman's body first. So no matter whether the lord is seventy or eighty years old , as long as someone gets married, he must be urged to implement this power. Even if the lord is only twenty years old, if thirty or forty couples are sent to get married at the same time in one day, I believe that the heir of the lord can be found the next day. This The wrong thing about this law is that the lord can choose to implement or not implement it according to his mood. But such a thing is not worthy of being called a law! The human parliament dares to make such a law, as a law protector, he should Treat everyone equally and require thorough implementation. If it could be implemented in this way, no noble lord would dare to insist that such a ridiculous law as the right of first night must exist. Even if you are gifted when you are young, how can you expect to live to be a hundred years old?"

A certain magician spoke plausibly, and the pandas were dumbfounded. In the end, after a long silence, I don't know if it was Bibi or the mastermind behind it. He scratched his head with his paws and said, "You can still do it like this."

"Hey, the law, except for the expressly stipulated exclusions, should be treated equally, regardless of high or low, and be strictly implemented. Only then does it have meaning. If it is selective, who has to abide by it and who does not have to abide by it, all decisions can be made as you wish. , then it won’t be a mess.”

"But..." The panda seemed to want to retort, but was at a loss for words.

Of course, Lin was not a roundworm in the other person's stomach and knew what he wanted to ask. But when it comes to this, there are some things that I still don't like, so I commented: "Come to think of it, I think your ideas need to be changed. Don't always want to keep it in your pocket when you see good things, for fear of flying away." Let me tell you, will the emergence of the entire Papal Kingdom and the Kingdom of God on earth really help the spread of faith?

"Even if we unify the entire Lost Land, can we really cut off the belief in other gods? How is this different from the dark age when the Demon King came? Besides, you don't even think about how to create such a powerful church organization and really establish a world-famous church. In the Kingdom of God, who takes the biggest advantage are the people in the church or God in heaven?”

Still not relieved after being criticized, Lin finally came to a conclusion and said: "I feel that your memory of being human is still very recent, and the sycophants who are close to you are all human, so I don't know whether you are human or not." What does a god need most? A strong church organization, or more people’s belief in him. Help me, I don’t have a problem with you having emotions and desires, but just be a god. Think about yourself What do you want?"
