"Colin, don't you really need me to accompany you?"

The carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister's residence. After Colin got out of the carriage, he stopped Vera who wanted to follow.

"No, you go back to the Phoenix Palace first, and I will talk to the Prime Minister myself."

"All right."

Although she was full of doubts, Vera had long been accustomed to obeying Colin's instructions. She tiptoed and pecked her husband, then waved goodbye.

After announcing his identity, an attendant led Colin into the meeting room.

Colin waited for about five minutes and saw Baron Heidegger, the Prime Minister of the Empire, come in.

"Good day, Viscount Angele!" Baron Heidegger was a little strange seeing Colin alone.

After all these days, Colin and Vera have been appearing in various public places at the same time.

"Good day, your Prime Minister. I take the liberty to visit, I hope it doesn't disturb you."

"Of course not." Baron Heidegger waved his hand, signaled Colin to take his seat, and rang the bell, and then several maids came in with silver plates and put the red wine and small cakes in front of them.

Colin knew that when Bachelor Dawn visited last time, Heidegger used roasted sweet potatoes to entertain him. In comparison, it seemed that his hospitality was more formal.

But Colin also understood that Dawn was actually the way to entertain real friends that time.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I heard that you have deep insights on how to govern a country, so I have always wanted to find the opportunity to chat with you and learn from your experience."

"Your Excellency, you are too polite." Heidegger smiled slightly, did not say much, and waited for Colin's following.

Colin took a sip of the red wine, and then said in a relaxed tone: "That's it, Prime Minister, I have never understood the existence of the Senate.

Of course, I understand that the establishment of the Senate is to limit the imperial power, so as not to make the wrong decision by your Majesty.

But what I want to know is, if the Senate makes the wrong decision, who can limit it? "

Baron Heidegger narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly: "Your Excellency, your doubts are indeed valid. However, the Senate is not monolithic, but has 117 members. Consider most of them. Everyone makes mistakes, but it's actually impossible."

"But the more than one hundred senators will be greatly influenced by the five consuls. Therefore, as long as most of the five consuls make mistakes, the Senate is likely to lead the empire into a dangerous situation."

Heidegger seemed to have some interest, and asked with a smile: "So you think the influence of the consul is too great, right?"

"Yes."

"So what good solution do you have?"

"There is an immature idea."

"Please speak."

Colin shook the red wine glass in his hand, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said leisurely: "I think the root cause of the consul's too much influence is because this position is for life!

Therefore, if we abolish the tenure of the consul, and change it to, for example, a three-year election, the above-mentioned problems will not arise. "

A hint of disappointment flashed in Baron Heidegger's eyes. Obviously Colin's suggestion did not arouse his interest. He shook his head and said:

"Your Excellency, your idea is good. But you know that if you want to abolish the principle of the consul’s tenure, you need to amend the "Charter of Radiance", and to amend the charter, you must agree with your Majesty and get an absolute majority in the Senate. Yes!

Your majesty may be interested in this proposal, but it will never pass the Senate. "

Colin shook his head and said in a hurry, "Your Prime Minister, this may not be true."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Do you know how I plan to choose this consul?"

"How to choose? Isn't it re-recommended by the five paladin families? Then pass the Senate's vote?" Baron Heidegger doubted.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, and his expression suddenly became serious.

Colin smiled slightly and continued to explain: "If the election method like what you said, of course you cannot pass the Senate. However, if we let every member of the Senate have the same candidacy, they can stand for election as the governor. Woolen cloth?"

"How can the Archon not belong to the Paladin family? It is even more impossible to pass through the Senate, not even your Majesty..." Heidegger stopped halfway through.

He stood up abruptly, pacing back and forth in the living room.

His complexion became more and more excited, and he stood still after a while, and laughed loudly: "Wonderful! What a wonderful idea!"

Heidegger finally realized the feasibility of Colin's approach.

This is the use of the biggest loophole in the Senate—the consul and the ordinary senators only have one person, one vote!

Although the consul has great influence, they have no privilege in the number of votes. In fact, it is more than a hundred ordinary senators who really determine whether a proposal can pass the Senate.

Of course, since the Archons came from the five great paladin families and were able to gain a say in the Senate meeting, their attitudes can largely influence the ordinary senators.

However, when the interests of the consul and ordinary elders conflict, will the senators still vote according to the attitude of the consul?

Obviously not.

Colin's current proposal takes advantage of this.

Of course the current consuls will strongly oppose this reform plan, but what about the ordinary elders?

If Colin's proposal is passed, from then on, the post of consul in the Senate will no longer be exclusive to the elders of the Paladin family, and ordinary elders will also have this opportunity!

Faced with such a temptation, ordinary veterans will definitely vote for it!

In this way, even if the current consuls object no matter how much, this proposal by Colin will definitely pass the Senate with an absolute majority of votes!

As long as the consul is no longer a lifelong tenure, they will not have the detached political status they are now. In order to keep their position, they will become weak, they will begin to compromise, and they can be drawn in, divided, and threatened.

In short, the status of the governor of the Senate will drop a lot.

More importantly, Colin has a way to get that **** Sebastian Saint Hild down!

Baron Heidegger took a deep look at Colin, and exclaimed: "Your Excellency, your wisdom amazes me! I have to say that this idea is very feasible!"

Colin smiled reservedly, and said lightly: "That's good."

Baron Heidegger rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled: "However, this proposal of yours may touch the interests of some people."

"Of course." Colin shrugged and didn't care too much. "Every reform will touch the vested interest groups, but as long as it is beneficial to the empire, it has the meaning of implementation."

Listening to Colin's awe-inspiring words, Baron Heidegger smiled and debunked:

"Really? You made this proposal for the benefit of the empire? How did I hear that in the Senate meeting that ended just now, some people in UU reading made it clear that they opposed Vera's succession to the Duke of the North? "

Colin didn't feel that his careful thoughts could conceal the imperial prime minister, and he didn't feel embarrassed when he heard the words. He still said awe-inspiringly:

"I really do think about the future of the empire. Prime Minister, don't you want to see a weakened Senate?"

A stern look flashed in Baron Heidegger's eyes, and he nodded, "Yes, the Senate needs reform..."

But then, he showed a sly smile again, and suddenly asked, "Then Viscount Anglia, can you tell me, why did you let Miss Vera return to the Phoenix Palace alone when you were at the door?"

At this time, Colin's face finally changed.
