SECURITY FUNCTIONS MERGED INTO STATE SECURITY MINISTRY

State Security Ministry, August 17, 5119: The State Council of the Government of the Son of Heaven met today to consider how, in the wake of the 5097 reorganization, espionage and internal security should fit into the structure of the government.. Appropriate counter intelligence, secret police, espionage and cyber security officials were present to respond to inquiries.

The Foreign Minister, Li Yu-Xuan indicated he thought currently these activities were done in agencies reporting to the State Security Commission (SSC). He believed it could be made explicit that they should be directly responsible to the Secretary general of the SSC. Defense Minister Wang Xin – Yi pointed out that military intelligence compiled by Armed Forces was shared by the Supreme Command Staff with the Secretary General of the SSC.

Prime Minister Zhao Hui-Fen asked the security officials their opinion and they all responded (as if rehearsed?) that it would be best for them to report to one responsible government minister not an amorphous blob like the SSC. The senior counterintelligence official recounted an incident elsewhere of intelligence operatives allowed to operate independently making their own foreign policy and starting a war only they wanted.

Accepting this premise, the State Council discussed to whom should they report. Finance Minister Gao Meng-Yan said she thought they could report directly to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister saw how this could work but thought it would be much better for another minister to handle this. Foreign Minister Li said the Foreign Office should focus on the official channels not include back channel intelligence gathering in its mission.

The Beacon has learned that Defense Minister Wang suggested reconsolidation of the functions of the Public Security, Internal Affairs and State Security Ministries into one State Security Ministry under Internal affairs Minister Chen Hao-Yu and this idea was agreed to by all once it was clear from Foreign Minister Li that ambassadorships were available for redundant ministers.

The Tai'nan Gazette
Nation in Mourning, His Imperial Majesty Passed
January 3rd 5140
Xiwang 44

Tai'nan: The Glorious Sovreign, the Son of Heaven and Emperor of Yingdala passed away early yesterday morning at the age of 85. These news were presented in an official statement from the Imperial Household. His Imperial Majesty's passing follows a longer period of illness, which the Imperial Household assures never kept the Son of Heaven from performing his duty.

The funeral will take place in three weeks time, to be performed before the New Year's festival. His final resting place will be within the Lai Family tomb in southern Min.

Mourners gathering outside the Imperial Palace

The Xiwang Emperor spent several years from the communist dictatorship that ruled Yingdala before his return and ascension to the throne in 5096. For the first 30 years of his reign he served as a stabilising figure, a symbol of national unity for Yingdalas fledgling return to democracy. The 5127 courtiers coup saw elections suspended and the Emperor returned as effective and empowered sovereign, reorganising Yingdala as a Jienist state - a return to the policies of Emperor Wu Yi.

With his death the throne will pass to His Imperial Highness Crown Prince Lai Kaifen who has already assumed the duties of the court to a limited extent during his time of mourning.

Zhengtong Emperor enthroned - Reforms promised
January 25th 5141
Zhengtong 1

Tai'nan: The Zhengtong Emperor ascends to the throne as Son of Heaven, beginning the Zhengtong Era of Yingdala. And already on the day of his official ascension to the throne the 53-year old Emperor promised major changes to Yingdala and to promote stability, democracy and liberty as treasured values of the Yingdalan state.

A major reform already completed is the reinstatement of the position of High Chancellor, with Duke Hao Junshuan being the first person to hold the title for over a hundred years. Hao, a long-time member of the Advisory council and the head of the progressive faction known as the *Spring Wind Society* has promised extensive review of the legal codes:
Four three decades our nation has been plagued by misrule of corrupt officials that have perverted the desires of our Glorious Sovereigns father. On behalf of his Imperial Majesty, it is the will of our new government to restore just government and righteous order to Yingala. Unjust laws will be removed and those punished under them released.


A number of prominent civil rights activists imprisoned by the former government have already been released, with further amnesty orders already being prepared by the ministry of justice.

WBC News - February Zhengtong 2 (5142)

Kaizhou: After six years and three months in prison, the prominent civil rights activist Song Zhaoyao has received a full pardon as part of the Hao-cabinet's amnesty.

Chancellor Hao forms new party; joins Prime Ministerial race
8 August 5143 - Zhengtong 3

Image

Tian'an: During a press conference incumbent Grand Chancellor Duke Hao Junshuan announced today the official formation of the Constitutional Party, the first new formal political party founded since the suspension of elections in 5127 with himself at the helm. The announcement, a course change from his declaration to stand down from national politics following the end of the provisional government did not come as a great surprise as the popular Chancellor had mentioned his interest in running for the Legislative Council in multiple interviews during the last few months.

Most members of Hao's provisional government have declared their own initiations to the Constitutional Party and local chapters have already been opened in every province, being prepared already before the official founding. With the government that brought democracy back and presently as the only party with true national reach and organization it would seem the party is slated for a nearly uncontested victory in the elections.

Chancellor Hao commented;
We welcome opposition and hope that every view will be properly represented in our return to free and fair elections. But I believe the Yingdalan people have seen my ability - our ability to govern justly and effectively. And we have only begun!


As part of the constitutional changes that restores parliamentary rule, the position of Grand Chancellor will be renamed Prime Minister.

Lin Kehua, Song Zhaoyao form new Political Party;
claim "direct opposition" to Establishment


3P Press Yingdala , 20th July 5144
Image

4 Minute Read . . . || By Ying Shi, Correspondent
+ + +
Jiaozhi - After a year of Constitutionalist Rule, remnants of the Yingdala Thaw of the Zhengtong Era announce the formation of a new political party today in opposition as "was requested" during the first ascension of the Hao Cabinet in 5143. After several months of planning, the new party, named Freedom and Solidarity has found itself formed under the venerable tutelage of figures like Song Zhaoyao, prominent protestor and civil rights activist famed for his actions in the Kaizhou Protests, and Lin Kehua (Centre, left), Jiaozhi civil servant - and already found itself in controversy.

Critics have been quick to point out the vast majority of the proposed cabinet and officials of Freedom and Solidarity, announced this Tuesday, are primarily stocked with young individuals with certain members boasting near-extensive criminal records of protesting, rioting, and subsequent arrest. Supporters instead suggest such a mark shows nobility considering the previous state of Yingdala before the Zhengtong ascension and what protesting would have meant then, but the question of Freedom and Solidarity's legitimacy still stands in proposing real governmental agency and ability.

A Press Conference today held by Lin Kehua provided a "provisional" list of demands and key issues Freedom and Solidarity wishes to address across Yingdala, which officials believe are not considered appropriately by the Constitutionalist government. Namely, the lack of explicit government policy on LGBTQIA rights and the unrecognition of homosexual marriage, the expansion of recreational drug legality to a national level rather than mandated by local governments, and the expansion of public coverage of health, including abortion and sex-affirmation surgery. Openly homosexual, it is believed Kehua's intentions revolve primarily around providing a civil and societal alternative to that provided by the traditionalist Constitutionalists in accordance with more youthful and liberal views.

Notably, while highlighting many "archaic" Yingdala laws such as the ban on production of pornography, the provisional manifesto largely failed to mention much regarding economic matters, leading many to suspect, fear, or anticipate a possibly more radical side of Freedom and Solidarity in official policy, using minor societal quarrels to disguise their more direct intentions.

The Imperial High Chancellor Liang Qiang during a speech

The Imperial High Chancellor annonces the formation of a new Constitutionnal Convention !
June 25, 5178

Imperial High Chancellor Liang Qiang, with the coronation of Her Majesty Empress Fànrông fast approaching, called for the creation of a constitutional convention that will look into the constitutional and political future of Yingdala, he called on members of the High Imperial Council has come to discuss these reforms in Yingdala. Empress Fànrông, via a statement from the
Heavenly City, has, and I quote :
Having listened to the proposals of the High Chancellor on the reforms that could be brought to Yingdala and its political, economic and judicial system, and Her Majesty thinks that for the good and for the stability of Yingdala Zhou, she supports the reforms carried out by the Imperial Chancellor and supports the idea of ​​a constitutional convention to discuss the future of Yingdala.

The majority of members of the Imperial High Council reacted well to this announcement from the Imperial Chancellor such as Ong Zhing, who said :

Other members did not react well to the Imperial Chancellor's announcement calling him a traitor to the Crown and Yingdala, some even saying the civilian government is un-Yingdalan and calling for a military coup to take control of the situation, as Kiu Obong, a far-right activist wrote on his social media account, I quote :
The betrayal of certain elements of the society of the Great Yingdala decided to betray and flout the moral and spiritual authority of Her Majesty the Empress, these traitors, cowards decided to go against the constitution that the late Emperor had signed Zhèntông, today these traitors called "a constitutional convention" to decide the future constitution, but Yingdala and his people will remember this affront and make them pay. May the Heavens protect the Empress and Death to traitors!

With the many reactions, Yingdala is a divided country, but polls show that a majority of people support the Chancellor in his reformist policies. With 74% favorable opinion, the policies of Chancellor Qiang can be passed quickly with the reformist majority.
