Chapter 390 Proposing a New City Lord
Forced palace, rebellion, mutiny, rebellion, etc., these words are not unfamiliar to him.
In the early days of the Cataclysm, when materials were extremely scarce, while the human race clung together for warmth, many dark things happened.
When the ugly side of human nature was aroused and all resources had to be fought for with both hands, extremely bloody and cruel struggles were inevitable.
It can be said that it was an era of heroes rising up.
Countless strong men came and went, and they were deceitful. Today you are on the stage, and tomorrow I am on the stage.
In a small gathering place, it is not uncommon for the person in power to change several times in just one day.
But such things have been very rare since the establishment of the Huaxia City-State Alliance.
In those urban areas directly under the jurisdiction of the Huaxia City-State Alliance, the city lords are directly appointed by the Elders Council, so naturally there will be no mutiny.
And in urban areas with partial autonomy such as Fenglin City, the people in power are either the city lords inherited from the family like Su Mu, or individuals or groups elected by the people.
Some of them have great backers and intricate relationships behind them.
Even for those who don't, under the laws of the Huaxia City-State Alliance that strictly prohibit fighting in urban areas, it is rare for those in power to be driven out of office.
Ling Tian remembered that there had been no mutinies in urban areas of the Huaxia City-State Alliance for more than ten years.
Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen in Fenglin City.
"Don't be too anxious."
Ling Tian had many thoughts in his mind and said to Li Hao: "The Alliance Constitution clearly stipulates that all armed mutinies in all cities under the jurisdiction of the Alliance are illegal. The forced palace mentioned by City Lord Su should be that her power has been undermined. It is unlikely that someone will bring people to their city lord's mansion directly, so her safety should not be worried about now."
Li Hao actually knew all these, but his face was still a little confused, and he frowned and said: "What should I do now?"
He has no experience in facing forced palaces and mutinies.
If it is an armed mutiny, it is nothing more than fighting, and he will kill directly.
But it is not an armed mutiny, so how to deal with it requires considerable professionalism.
Ling Tian, Dugu Jian and others all fell into deep thought.
Li Hao and them are in the same boat, and Fenglin City and Li Hao are in the same boat. They certainly don't want Su Mu to be driven out of office.
Dugu Jian said slowly: "If it is purely a power being hollowed out, even if you go there, it will be useless, but Su Mu still sent you a message for help. What do you think she means?"
Li Hao: "???"
How can he know what Su Mu is thinking now?
Seeking help in desperation?
Dugu Jian continued: "Since she sent you a message, she should think that you have the possibility of calming this matter down, but can you change the minds of those people in Fenglin City who want to overthrow her?"
Li Hao shook his head.
He and those powerful people in Fenglin City have only met once, and it is good enough to call out their names. How can he change their minds?
Although those guys might be wary or respectful of him because of his talent, they would never be scared to the core.
After all, the citizens in each metropolitan area of the City-State Alliance are protected by the Alliance Constitution.
"Does she want you to take action, old man?"
Li Hao said.
Ling Tian immediately said, "It's unlikely. Our Elders' Council does not interfere in the internal affairs of Fenglin City. In other words, even we can't force those officials in Fenglin City to continue to support Su Mu."
"Those guys have nothing to do, why do they suddenly want to drive Su Mu off the stage?"
Dugu Tianquan suddenly said.
It's nothing more than someone wants to control Fenglin City.
Or they really have nothing to do.
Li Hao thought to himself.
He didn't want to continue eating the New Year's Eve dinner, and said, "Old man, why don't you accompany me to Fenglin City first? No matter what the situation is, we will know it naturally when we go there."
This is the only way.
He can't just watch Su Mu being driven off the stage.
After all, Su Mu's support for him can be said to be unsparing.
Moreover, he pointed out that if all the dog slave areas could not be liberated directly, he would try to make Fenglin City a pilot city first.
If Su Mu was driven out of office, he would not even be able to find a pilot city area.
Ling Tian and the others also knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded.
Soon everyone left the castle and headed for the airport.
Ten flying saucers flew directly to Fenglin City.
The core was Li Hao's flying saucer, and there were Ling Tian and Dugu Jian's "cars".
All around were guard saucers.
The scene was amazing.
As soon as the flying saucer took off, Li Hao sent a message to Su Mu, "What's the situation? Who forced the palace? How did they force the palace?"
But Su Mu did not reply to him, and he didn't know what the situation was.
...
Just over ten minutes ago.
Fenglin City Lord's Mansion.
The Su family has always had the custom of organizing all the senior officials of Fenglin City to have a New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve.
As for the high-level officials in Fenglin City, most of them were people who worked with the old man of the Su family in the early years, or their descendants.
These people are the elders and meritorious officials of Fenglin City.
They are not only superiors and subordinates with the Su family, but also have a very good personal relationship.
Although in the past few decades, some veterans were inevitably abandoned by the Su family because they violated the laws of Fenglin City or the collective interests, but they were only a minority.
Su Hanchi and Su Mu were not stingy people, and they were always good to these veterans.
Overall, the atmosphere of the top management of Fenglin City is good.
Otherwise, Fenglin City would have been divided over the years.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner was the same as usual.
More than ten tables were set up in the City Lord's Mansion.
First, the city lord Su Mu made a speech, summarizing last year and looking forward to the new year.
Then the deputy city lord Wei Hongyun made a speech, reading out the various indicators of Fenglin City throughout the year.
Wei Hongyun is over 70 years old, and is of the same generation as Su Mu's grandfather and Xiang Jianbai. At the beginning, he and Xiang Jianbai were the left and right arms of the old man of the Su family.
It's just that Xiang Jianbai is a thug, while Wei Hongyun is a white paper fan.
For decades since Fenglin City was founded, Wei Hongyun has been coordinating the development and operation of the entire Fenglin City. He has worked diligently and assisted Su Hanchi and Su Mu in managing Fenglin City in an orderly manner.
He is also Su Hanchi's father-in-law! Su Mu's grandfather!
But today, after he read out the tax, investment attraction, pension, urban construction, economic growth and other indicators of Fenglin City this year as usual, he looked at Su Hanchi and Su Mu deeply on the stage and suddenly said: "For two consecutive years, the economic growth of our Fenglin City has continued to decline and is in a negative growth state. I, as the deputy city lord, cannot shirk my responsibility. But at the same time, I think the city lord also has an unshirkable responsibility, so I propose that the thirteen most senior managers of our Fenglin City vote to elect a new city lord here."
