A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 259. Chapter 259

Because of the rain last night, the temperature today is a little lower than before. In addition, the clouds coiling in the sky block the hot sunlight, and the climate in the morning is quite cool.

The wind blowing from the distant sea brought the humid atmosphere of the ocean. The flowers and trees that had been scorched by the hot sun a few days ago, after being nourished by the rain for a night, were refreshed one after another. The branches and leaves were lush, It makes people feel comfortable looking at it.

In the courtyard of the palace of Huimos, the stream flows happily as always, and a priest is standing by the stream.

He wore a standard dark cyan priest costume of Nanna, the night god, with slightly longer hair strewn over his shoulders.

Receiving the call of Huimos, Suojia came to the palace early in the morning.

When he came, Huimos was doing his routine early morning exercises in the courtyard. As always, he was almost at the limit of physical training. After he was done, he was sweating profusely, and the brown skin all over his body seemed to be soaked with sweat.

After finishing the training, Heimos was going to do a simple rinse, and Soga naturally waited honestly.

Waiting and waiting, he couldn’t help but think of his beloved lover, Fataya.

After encountering Garlan who had left the palace occasionally, Fataya told Suoga about his encounter with the young little prince Garlan many years ago.

Soga quickly remembered.

More than eight years ago, there was such a thing.

When King Camos rebuilt the slums, some powerful officials deceived themselves and greedily swallowed a lot of property, and even forced the poor to ruin their homes.

At that time, it was the young Prince Garland who exposed the incident, provoked King Camos to be furious, executed and punished many people.

At that time, Suo Jia happened to travel abroad and went to the temples of Nanna across the country to practice-this was what he had to do when he was selected as one of the successors of the next high priest.

Therefore, he is not very clear about this matter.

Now, seeing his lover’s eyes bright and brows dancing when he talked about King Gallan, Suo Jia couldn’t help but want to smile.

Fataya’s words are full of admiration for King Gallan both in and out of the language, and he respects him so much. He even sees that Fataya still hides a bit of pity and love for the little prince in the past.

Soga can guarantee.

With Fataya’s loyal heart, if she dared to be against King Gallan, she would definitely kill her relatives righteously without hesitation.

Thinking of this, the priest of the night god felt bitter and astringent.

Whether it’s his loyal master or his beloved lover, one or two, all of them have a crush on the young king.

This is really… alas…

He was once ambitious and vowed to assist His Highness Heymos to ascend to the throne, and then he can be trusted by His Highness Heymos as a hero, assist him in making great achievements, obtain great feats, and leave a name in history. .

However, after King Garlan ascended to the throne, his ambition completely became a bubble.

Although King Gallan did not guard against Heimos as he thought after ascending to the throne, he trusted him and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, so their subordinates who followed Heimos also Has not been liquidated and suppressed.

It stands to reason that as a loser, this result is already very good.

But Suo Jia was still very unhappy.

He is eager for power, eager to stand at a higher position, and eager to make some deeds that will make everyone in the world look at him.

However, as long as you think about what he has done to King Gallan in order to let His Excellency Huimos fight for the throne, Suoga also understands that his future may have come to an end.

If he were replaced by him, in the position of King Garlan, he would definitely find excuses to punish or even execute people who had calculated themselves.

Yes, King Gallan has a very generous heart, which can be seen from his unscrupulously letting His Excellency Huimos serve as the commander of the Third Army.

However, no matter how lenient it is, it is good not to care about yourself, how could it be possible to entrust yourself with important tasks?

Just as Soga was thinking about this in distress, Huimos, who had changed his clothes after taking a bath, finally came out.

“follow me.”

He said bluntly, and then stepped out of the palace gate.

Soga followed him for a while, and was shocked to find that this was the road leading to the palace of King Gallan.

As we all know, although King Garlan sat on the throne, he still lived in the original palace.

In the past, Soga had followed Huimos to this palace many times. But since Garlan became king, he hasn’t stepped into this palace for a long time.

Two years later, Suo Jia, who finally entered the palace again, couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

At the same time, he was a little wondering why Huimos would suddenly bring him here.

He just wanted to ask Huimos when he saw his master’s eyes lit up suddenly, then he threw him down and walked forward quickly.

As soon as Suo Jia looked up, he saw the young king in the courtyard, and the big lion was walking around him.

As soon as Huimos approached, he was blocked by the blond knight guarding Garlan and prevented him from approaching.

As the guardian knight of Garlan, Kehus faithfully carried out his majesty’s orders, and within three days did not let Huimos approach within ten meters of Garlan.

Today is exactly the third day, and it hasn’t passed yet.

Heimos looked like a sword when he looked at Kehos who was in front of him.

He said coldly: “Gallan asked me to come over today.”

“Oh, sorry, Hiemos, I forgot for a while.”

Kaihus showed a look of sudden realization, but the expression looked fake.

He stepped aside and let Heimos pass, but his eyes kept staring at Heymos’ every move.

Obviously, if Hiemos did anything inappropriate, he would immediately step forward.

Suojia looked at this scene indifferently.

He said that he was tired.

Suojia watched Heimos walk to King Garlan, who was still feeding the big lion meat, and the cold face that had just been facing Kayjos instantly softened.

Hiemos seemed to be coaxing and said a few words to Gallan softly. Gallan just looked up at him and said a word to him, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

What a shame!

Even if the other party is a beloved one, he can’t coax, offer, and accommodate so without dignity.

Soga thought so angrily in his heart.

He had completely forgotten how he gave up without a bottom line when he faced Fataya.

Touching Nega’s mane and handing it the half-cooked meat left in his hand, Gallan took the wet towel handed by the maid standing beside him and wiped his hands, then turned to look at Soga.

Suo Jia was startled, and he didn’t care about continuing to slander. He leaned over and knelt down in front of Garlan on one knee.

“Soga, I asked Huimos to bring you here.”

King Gallan’s words caused Suojia to be astonished for a moment.

So it was King Garlan who summoned him?

Why?

Without waiting for him to think about it, Gallan had already turned around and walked into the room.

“You came just right. Sheemur has already arrived. Come here too.”

Xiemuer?

Seeing that Garlan had entered the house, Suo Jia quickly got up and followed in.

As soon as he entered the government office, he really saw Xiemur who was standing in the house. Xiemur glanced at him, and looked away, his face was the same solemnly for thousands of years.

Seeing this mortal enemy from childhood to age, Suojia’s mood is very complicated.

Xiemuer led Shamash’s temple forces to support Prince Gallan.

He represents the power of Nanna’s temple in support of Prince Huimos.

Later, Garland ascended to the throne, and Xiemur became the king’s confidant as his teacher, and Shamash’s temple power completely overwhelmed Nanna’s temple power.

Compared to personally losing to Sheemur, Suoga is even more unacceptable that they, as the wise Nanna priests, actually lost to the group that even their brains are full of muscles. They are just blindly idealized sand without considering the reality. The priests of Marsh.

But there is no way.

They lost.

Although there were too many psychological activities, Soga, who had long been accustomed to inconsistency, was still respectful, and bowed slightly to King Gallan who was already sitting on the obsidian bench.

Noting that Suojia looked at Xiemuer’s complicated look after entering the door, and Xiemuer ignored his appearance, the corner of Gallan’s mouth raised.

Sure enough, the priests of Nanna and Shamash were like water and fire, and they disliked each other.

The priests of Shamash felt that Nanna’s priests were sinister and cunning.

The priests of Nanna felt that Shamash’s priests were rigid and rigid.

“Suga, I asked you to come over, because I have something to do for you.”

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Garlan spoke directly.

“About the Department of Trade and Commerce, you must be very clear about it.”

The Trade Department has been in operation for more than a month and brought huge wealth to Gallan.

Although the other powerful ministers looked jealous, they didn’t have the courage to grab food after all.

After all, they were not optimistic about the establishment of the Trade Office, so Gallan used his own people and his own money to build it. He has already agreed with them in advance that the income should belong to him.

Now, everyone can’t regret it, but they don’t dare to regret their king.

Although some people wanted to imitate King Gallan to build a similar place, but without the prestige of King Gallan, the merchants did not trust them at all, and of course they failed in the end.

Suojia, who has focused on the Department of Trade and Commerce, is of course very clear, and he nodded.

Gallan continued.

“Taer alone is in charge of the Department of Trade and Commerce, so I decided to send you and Xiemuer over to assist him.”

Suojia was startled.

He looked up abruptly, looking at Garlan, with an unbelievable look in his eyes.

“From now on, Tal will only be responsible for the operation of the Department of Trade and Commerce. The regulations on trade and commerce will be formulated after consultation by the priest of Shamash, and then reported to me for review. At the same time, he accepts complaints from businessmen against the staff of the Department of Trade and Commerce.”

Garland said,

“Suga, those complaints and disputes between merchants in the Trade and Commerce Department will be tried and decided by the priests of Nanna.”

He turned to Xiemuer again and said to him.

“Xemur, the priests of Shamash can participate in all the process of the trial and judgment of the priests of Nanna. If there is any objection, or there are signs of corruption and perverting the law, they can directly report it to you.”

“Then, it’s up to you to negotiate with Suojia. If the dispute cannot be resolved, you will report it to me.”

Suojia was still surprised that Garland had actually assigned part of the important trade office power to him, and at the moment he heard this big paragraph, he felt a little bit in his heart.

His extremely high sensitivity to political rights allowed him to grasp the key points in this long passage almost instantly.

His mind was spinning quickly, and a vague thought emerged in his mind.

The thought made him a little frightened.

Suojia was still terrified on this side, and over there, Xie Muer frowned, her eyes full of unhappiness.

The relationship between the priests of Shamash and the priests of Nanna was like water and fire, so he was extremely unhappy about working with Suoja in the future.

But he was absolutely uneasy to hand over the important source of property to the sly Soga. The priests of Nanna were used to taking advantage of the loopholes, and they didn’t know what justice was, and they would certainly favor favoritism.

Therefore, someone must stare at them closely.

Xiemuer firmly believes that only the upright priests of Shamash can do this.

With this thought, he reluctantly acquiesced to it.

“Well, that’s it, you can retreat.”

Gallan raised his hand and motioned for them to leave.

“You should know the importance of the Department of Trade and Commerce, so after you go back, think about how you want to do this well.”

He glanced at Soga.

He doesn’t worry about this person.

He is very aware of Suojia’s ambition and desire for rights, and once given Suojia a chance, he will definitely seize it firmly.

The vague thought in his mind made Suojia’s mind very confused at the moment, but seeing Garlan got up to leave, he gritted his teeth and spoke with the idea of fighting it.

“His Majesty.”

He lowered his voice and said, “The system you set up in the Department of Trade and Commerce, is it… trying… what?”

Galan heard Suoga’s words as soon as she stood up, and looked back at Suoga with a slightly surprised look.

Then he smiled slightly.

“It’s Nanna’s priest…”

The young king stood, looking down at Suo Jia who was kneeling down.

“Since you have seen it, I’ll just say it here.”

“Yes, I am using the Department of Trade and Commerce as a pilot. I will implement this system in the royal court in the future.”

Standing in front of the crowd, Garlan said calmly.

“From now on, the ministers in the royal court are only responsible for implementing decision-making, and all departments and bureaus are not allowed to set up regulations on their own.”

For a long time, although the national law was formulated by the Shamash Temple and the king, the various divisions and bureaus of the royal court can formulate legal systems related to their rights.

“All judicial formulations must be formulated by Shamash’s temple in accordance with strict regulations, and declared in the name of Shamash throughout the country. All laws that have not been proclaimed by Shamash’s temple are false laws. ”

“However, from now on, the judgment and ruling of violations of the law will be the responsibility of Nanna’s temple.”

For a long time, the jurisdiction of trial has not been clearly attributable. Any department and department, any department, and ministers of power have the right to arrest and punish others.

“All noble ministers shall not try or impose penalties on others without authorization.”

“The ruling is carried out by the Shamash Temple. If the Shamash Temple believes that the ruling is not in conformity with the law, it can ask Nanna’s Temple to make a new ruling.”

Suo Jia’s heart shuddered.

This is a restriction.

The ministers in the royal court, the power of the Temple of Shamash, the power of the Temple of Nanna, have three constraints.

As a power that believes in gods, the temple cannot communicate with the ministers in the royal court.

And Wang Ting will definitely have great dissatisfaction with the temple because of the division of rights by the temple.

Thus eliminating the possibility of collusion between the royal court and the temple.

Needless to say, the temples of Shamash and Nanna, a priest of Shamash, even if he died, would never collude with the priests of Nanna, and the same was true for the priests of Nanna.

The powers of the three parties are balanced and all go hand in hand, and it is difficult for any party to grow on its own.

The kingship is above the three parties.

If this system is implemented, the successors of the throne will be able to firmly control all rights as long as they are not stupid people.

At the same time, there will never be a matter of a powerful minister with great power covering the sky with one hand and blinding the king’s sight.

If the system is implemented locally, then the consuls in each city will no longer be able to integrate all their powers in one, as before, without restraint, and thus wantonly abuse of power and deceive the royal city.

In this way, things like Tozes City are bound to never happen again.

Suo Jia thought about it, chewing King Garlan’s words repeatedly, and his heartbeat started to speed up.

This system.

If it can be implemented successfully, I am afraid it can completely change the political structure of Aaron Landis.

And he will witness this huge change and become one of them.

The temple of Nanna will also restore its position alongside the temple of Shamash.

Suppressing his excitement, Suo Jia suddenly felt an incredible feeling.

He didn’t expect that for himself who had calculated King Garlan, King Garlan would be able to disregard previous suspicions and give himself a chance to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

The young king’s heart is so big that he can hardly imagine.

For a long time, Suo Jia has firmly believed that only people who are decisive, rational and ruthless are suitable to be kings.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought, isn’t he now sincerely fortunate that the person on the throne at this moment is King Gallan?

“Are you…willing to trust me?”

He finally couldn’t help it, and asked with a complicated mood.

“Oh, if you want to do anything, I will tell Fataya.”

The young king said, an understatement.

Suo Jia: “…”

One hit kill.

Suppressing the complex and chaotic thoughts in his heart at this moment, Suojia raised his head and looked at Garlan.

“Your Majesty, you should give this system a name, so that we can better implement this system in the Department of Trade and Commerce.”

“Name…”

Gallan tilted his head slightly and thought for a while.

He moved in his heart and said, “It’s called the’Separation of Powers’.”

With a playful mind, Garland said the name.

It’s just that he didn’t know how much influence his whim had had on future generations.

…………

According to the study of later historians.

Separation of powers.

The origin of this system can be traced back to the era of the wise king of Aaron Landis.

Founded by King Xian Ming.

Although the system created by King Xianming is a pseudo-separation of powers under the control of the king, it is not a true separation of powers, but the emergence of this system has pointed out the direction for the true separation of powers in later generations.

Thousands of years later, the separation of powers in the true sense of later generations was established with it as the cornerstone.

…………

……………………

“I call your subordinates, do you really not care?”

After holding back for a long time, Garlan finally couldn’t help asking.

Nanna’s temple has always been a force under Huimos.

His approach can be said to be a direct prying of the corner of Huimos.

But he couldn’t help it. The forces that can go hand in hand with Shamash’s temple and will never collude, no matter how much he thinks, there is only Nanna’s temple.

Glancing at the others standing not far away, Huimos leaned over and leaned close to Garlan’s ear.

“Anyway…”

He narrowed his eyes slightly, opened his hands, and said softly.

“…Even me is yours, isn’t it.”

“…”

Garlan turned his head to the side.

He said: “Anyway, I asked you to come over. There will be today for those three days. The order that you are not allowed to approach… just end it early.”

Looking softly at the little pink of the boy’s ear tips hidden in his blond hair, the corners of Huimos’ lips couldn’t stop rising.

“Yes.”

He said in a low and gentle voice,

“My Majesty.”
