光辉帝国元老院坐落在御龙城北区的中央广场南侧。Butinanother side of central square, is standing erectbrillianceempireFounding emperorGarnerSt. Lawrencesculpture.
而在中央广场的另一侧,矗立着光辉帝国开国皇帝-加纳・圣洛伦佐的雕塑。
The entiresculpturereaches as high as more than 20meters, is carvedby the red sandstone, as far as eyes can reachlikeblazingflame of onegroup of flamingcombustion.
整座雕塑高达二十多米,由红砂岩雕刻而成,一眼望去如同一团熊熊燃烧的炽热火焰。
The sculptureandpalatialUpper House of thislegendarySaintknightface each other across a great distance, tacitally who alsoalwaysaccompaniesprobably, seems likedestinyold enemy who is in sharp opposition.
这位传奇圣骑士的雕塑与巍峨的元老院遥遥相对,既像是永世陪伴的默契战友,又像是针锋相对的命运宿敌。At the beginning of the brillianceempireis founded, founding emperorwith the beginningreachesagreementfor the Pope- secularturning over toaristocrat, turning over toSpiritual God of belief.
在光辉帝国建立之初,开国皇帝与初代教皇达成协议-世俗的归贵族,信仰的归神灵。Therefore, althoughchurch the inner world of controlentirehumanempire, buthas no secularauthority.
所以,教会虽然掌控者整个人类帝国的精神世界,但却没有任何世俗权柄。However, initiallyis unwillingfor the Popewithdrawslike thisto the control of common custom, is not willingto letSt. Lawrence Familyone-party rule.
不过,初代教皇也不甘心就这样退出对世俗的掌控,更不愿让圣洛伦佐家族一家独大。Therefore, heunited the empiremajorfeudal lords, exerts pressure on the imperial familytogether, requeststo limit the power of emperor.
于是,他联合了帝国各大领主,共同对皇室施压,要求限制皇帝的权力。Thenhad " GloriousCharter » birth, as well asestablishment of Upper House.
这才有了《光辉宪章》的诞生,以及元老院的建立。According to«GloriousCharter», a series ofsignificantadministrative order of emperorpromulgation, such as the warcommandanddukeconfer, the successorchangeofficiallywait/etc, needsto passby way ofUpper Housevote, can implement.
根据《光辉宪章》,皇帝正式颁布的一系列重大行政命令,如战争令、公爵册封、继承人变更等等,都需要经由元老院表决通过,才能得以实施。Government order that evensomeemperorsdo not agree with, so long asobtainsabsolute majoritiesinUpper House( over2/3) affirmative vote, thatalso can still be ableto implement.
甚至一些皇帝不同意的政令,只要在元老院得到绝对多数(超过三分之二)的赞成票,那也依然能够得以实施。BeforePrince Reichtriedto startto the Yevillewarcommand, wasRinehartGreat Emperor who wantsto bypassin this waydefinitelywill vetothis/shouldproposal.
之前莱希亲王试图发动的对耶维尔的战争令,就是想要通过这种方式绕过必然会否决该提案的莱因哈特大帝。WhatUpper Houserepresentsisin the empire the wills and benefits of allfeudal lords, tolimit the imperial authorityexists.
元老院代表的是帝国中所有领主的意志和利益,是为了限制皇权而存在。Welcomedmorning sun of initial rise, the front door of Upper Houseis opening wideslowly, the Upper Housemembers who an numerousarrived inone after anothersuccessivelywalked.
迎着初升的朝阳,元老院的大门缓缓敞开,一众陆续抵达的元老院成员们相继走了进去。
A magnificentcarriagestopsbefore the senior statesmanfront gate, butinsidepersonhas not actually gotten out.
一辆华丽的马车在元老院门前停下,但里面的人却没有下车。„Anxious?”In the carriage, Colinlooks that is lifting the car(riage)curtaintoVera who the Upper Housedirectionlooks around, askedwith a smile.
“紧张吗?”马车内,柯林看着正掀开车帘向元老院方向张望的薇拉,笑着问道。Theyare not the senior statesmen, naturallyis unable to enterUpper House, buttherewas discussingat this timewithmatter that Verais closely linked, Colinwill askno wondersheis anxious.
他们俩不是元老,当然无法进入元老院,但此时那里却在讨论着跟薇拉息息相关的事情,也难怪柯林会问她紧不紧张。„Fortunately.”Veraturns head, gripsColin'sbig hand.
“还好啦。”薇拉回过头来,握住柯林的大手。„Controlsweated, did not addanxiously.”Colinteasedwith a smile, „before you, does not thinkappropriatedid not work asnorth this boundarydukeindifferent?”
“手心都冒汗了,还说不紧张。”柯林笑着调侃道,“你之前不是觉得当不当这个北境公爵无所谓的吗?”Verastaredoneselfhusbandoneeyes, what a pitynooppressionstrength, butappearstenderlovable.
薇拉瞪了自己的丈夫一眼,可惜没什么压迫力,只是显得娇蛮可爱。Purses the lips, shesaidin a low voice: „InitiallyIwastooweak, thinks that the northernboundarydukewasbywhom is the same. Butnow, Ifelt, the future of northernboundarygraspsis in our hands better!”
抿了抿嘴,她低声道:“当初我还是太幼稚了,以为北境公爵由谁来当都一样。但现在,我却觉得,北境的未来还是掌握在我们的手里更好!”RegardingVera'stransformation, Colinis quite gratified, pinches the small hand who the opposite partysoakedsoft, comforts saying:
对于薇拉的转变,柯林颇为欣慰,捏了捏对方柔软濡湿的小手,安慰道:„Relax, after Prince Reichwas pursued, Royal Dragon CitywasRinehartGreat Emperorsaidconsidering as finished, sincehehad agreed that youinherited the northernboundaryduke, thatUpper Housewill not opposewithhimatthis timeintentionally.”
“放心吧,莱希亲王被驱逐之后,御龙城就是莱因哈特大帝说了算了,既然他已经同意你继承北境公爵,那元老院也不会在这个时候故意跟他作对。”Veranodssilently, as ifsomewhatis anxious.
薇拉默默地点了点头,似乎还有些紧张。Colinsees that thenproposed: „Wego to central squareto walk.”
柯林见状,便提议道:“我们去中央广场上走走吧。”„Good.”
“好吧。”Two peoplejustunder the carriage, saw the front door of Upper Housejustto closeslowly.
两人刚下马车,就见元老院的大门刚好缓缓合上。In the peacefulsolemn and respectfulmeeting hall, was filled with the senior statesmen of attending the meeting.
安静肃穆的会议大厅中,坐满了参会的元老们。Bang~
砰~Upper Houserotating presidentMorsonSt. PlossiConsulsounded the wooden hammer, the clear and resonant voiceannounced:
元老院轮值主席伊莫森・圣普洛斯执政官敲响了木槌,朗声宣布道:
„ Time, the conferencestarts!
“时间到,会议开始!Thisconferenceto the seatsenior statesman116people, is the effectivenumber of people present, all resolutions of thisconference, effective! ”
本次会议到席元老共一百一十六人,达到有效出席人数,本次会议的所有决议,有效!”Bang!
砰!Rotating presidentMorsonknockedunder the wooden hammeragain , to continue saying: „The firstsubject of thisconference- declares wartoYeville! Below, pleasefive...... fourConsulexpress the opinion!”
轮值主席伊莫森再次敲了下木槌,继续道:“本次会议的第一个议题-对耶维尔宣战!下面,请五……四位执政官对此发表意见!”Consul Lethemhas died, buthissuccessorhas not produced, therefore, fiveConsulonlyhavefournow.莱托姆执政官已死,但他的继任者还未产生,所以,五位执政官现在只剩下四位。„Iopposed!”CreteSt. GillianConsulfirstexpressed the attitude.
“我反对!”克里特・圣格里安执政官最先表达了态度。Buthehas not actually continuedto elaborate that ownreason, as ifthatis unimportant.
但他却没有继续阐述自己的理由,仿佛那已经不重要了。Actually, afterPrince Reichwas pursued, thissubjecttrulydoes not need of discussion, even if the Saintknight, the result of alsounavoidablyfickleness of life.
其实,在莱希亲王被驱逐之后,这一个议题确实已经没有讨论的必要了,哪怕是圣骑士,也免不了人走茶凉的结局。„Iopposed!”
“我反对!”„Iopposed!”
“我反对!”„Iopposed!”
“我反对!”Really, followingthreeConsulallexpressed the attitude of oppositionunanimously.
果然,接下来的三位执政官全都众口一词地表达了反对的态度。Rotating presidentMorsonknocks the wooden hammer, said: „Good, the Consulspeechended! Startsto vote, agreedthis/shouldproposalpleaseraise the right hand!”
轮值主席伊莫森敲下木槌,道:“好,执政官发言结束!开始表决,同意该提案的请举起右手!”
The normal procedure of Upper Houseconferencehasthreeflows, firstis the rotating presidentproposedproposal that mustvote, is fiveConsulexpresses the opinionin turn, finally is raises handto vote.
元老院会议的正常程序有三道流程,首先是轮值主席提出要表决的提案,然后是五位执政官轮流发表意见,最后便是举手表决。As can be seen, in the entireflow, only thenfiveConsulhave the qualificationsspeech.
可以看到,在整个流程中,只有五位执政官才有资格说话。Alsotherefore, althoughtheyare likeothersenior statesmen, is a person of ticket, but because were many a process of indicationopinion, thencanaffect the followingvotinglinkwiththisway.
也正是因此,虽然他们跟其他的元老一样,也是一人一票,但由于多了一个表述意见的过程,便可以用这种方式影响后续的投票环节。This is also Consulin the truekey aspect of Upper Houseleading status.
这也是执政官在元老院领袖地位的真正关键因素。NowallConsulunanimouslyoppose the declaring warproposal, thatdoes not needto lookalsoknows, the votinglinkdefinitelyisno onedaresto cast the affirmative vote.
现在所有的执政官都一致反对宣战提案,那不用看也知道,投票环节肯定是没有人敢投赞成票的。Bang!
砰!„Voteended! The small changeapproved,116dissenting votes, I announced that this/shouldproposal, is not passed!”
“表决结束!零票赞成,一百一十六票反对,我宣布,该提案,不通过!”Rotating presidentMorsonannounced that the voting result, drinks water, saidagain: „Nextsubject- aboutVeraSt. Hildeinherits the northernboundaryduke! PleasefourConsulexpress the opinion.”
轮值主席伊莫森宣布完表决结果,喝了一口水,再次道:“下一个议题-关于薇拉・圣希尔德继承北境公爵!请四位执政官对此发表意见。”„Iapproved.”westboundaryConsulCretefirstopens the mouth saying that „before DukeSt. Hildedies, onceleft behind the will, appointsVeraas the easternboundarymarquis, thereforeis inherited the northernboundarydukebyher, fair.”
“我赞成。”西境执政官克里特首先开口道,“圣希尔德公爵死前曾留下遗嘱,任命薇拉为东境侯爵,所以由她继承北境公爵,合情合理。”„Ialsoapproved.”southboundaryConsulDullessaidbriefly and to the point.
“我也赞成。”南境执政官杜勒斯言简意赅地说道。Afterward, was one's turn the northernboundaryConsulSebasspeech.
随后,就轮到了北境执政官赛巴斯发言。Butin the numerouspositionsenior statesmanheartis confident, hadtwoConsulto approve, thatpresentthisfamily backgroundSt. Hildefamily'sConsul, is always impossibleto oppose......
但众位元老心中已经有了底,都有两位执政官赞成了,那现在这位出身圣希尔德家族的执政官,总不可能反对……
?
吧?„Iopposed.”Sebasgaveoneto let the audienceshockingstatement.
“我反对。”赛巴斯给出了一个让全场震惊的表态。
The peopleflashing eyesare staring atthisConsulfromnorthernboundary, is waiting forhisfollowingexplanation.
众人目光炯炯地盯着这位来自北境的执政官,等待着他接下来的解释。Sebastakes a fast look aroundslowly, the sinkingsound said: „Idid not approve that makesWizard the northernlord of boundary!”赛巴斯缓缓扫视一圈,沉声道:“我不赞成让一位法师成为北境之主!”Said that thissaying, hewas then silent, did not go to the managessenior statesmento looktoowncomplexlook.
说完这话,他便闭口不言,也不去管众位元老看向自己的复杂眼神。Then, remaininglastConsul, wasrotating presidentMorsonexpresses the opinion.
接下来,就剩下最后一位执政官,也就是轮值主席伊莫森发表意见了。ThisConsulfromeasternboundaryfirstdeeplylooked atSebasone, takes a fast look around the audienceslowly, saidwith the firmsound:
这位来自东境的执政官先是深深看了赛巴斯一眼,又缓缓扫视全场,才用坚定的声音道:„Iopposed!”
“我反对!”
The audiencein an uproar.
全场哗然。
The senior statesmenstartto whisperimmediately, discuss spiritedly.
众位元老顿时开始交头接耳,议论纷纷。FourConsul, twoapprovals, twooppositions!
四位执政官,两位赞成,两位反对!Then, had the good playto look.
这下,有好戏看了。Bang!
