Alice didn't come to the wedding, Qin Yan and Peony can understand it, after all, marrying Qin Yan was a vow she made a long time ago, and now she is watching Qin Yan marry another woman, if she can accept it, the key is that she still has such a high status.

It's just that......

It makes sense that she didn't come to the wedding, and now that she's here, it's incomprehensible.

Not long after, Alice appeared in front of everyone, and when she saw the imperial capital star of the Heavenly Power Empire, the so-called position had become a blank, and the whole person was stunned on the spot.

"I ...... Still a step too late......" she muttered.

"What do you mean by that?" Peony was shocked.

"A few days ago, news came from Jinghong's intelligence network that someone had investigated something related to the big brother, so ......"

Alice frowned and said, "I wasn't sure at first, but I rushed over when I was completely sure, but I didn't expect it...... It's the Hidden Yuan Empire! ”

"How do you know?" Qin Yan was stunned.

"The location of the rainbow is in the territory of the Hess Empire, and in that area, our intelligence network is also the strongest, and the people of the Hidden Yuan Empire have gone to the Hess Empire to investigate, and it is not difficult to investigate."

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Alice said in a deep voice: "Big brother, what are you going to do?" If there is a place where it is useful to me, be sure to ......"

Qin Yan already had a plan, and he didn't need Alice's help in this plan, not to mention that he didn't want to owe too much favors.

"There's something you need your Excellency Blood God to help with." Without waiting for him to politely decline, Peony spoke.

"The Dark Emperor asking me for help?" Alice asked lightly.

Originally, her relationship with Peony was not very bad because Qin Yan was in the middle, but today is different: today Peony and Qin Yan are married, Alice's mood is not much better, if Peony asks her for help, of course she will not be able to give face.

Do yourself a favor?

She doesn't have such a high-minded mind.

"It's your big brother who needs help, he wants to get the highest centralized power in the empire, and it's hard for me to do it with my ability." Peony knew that in this situation, she had to use Qin Yan's banner, and besides, she was looking for Alice to help, so she couldn't continue to hold the shelf when necessary.

"As long as I can do it." Hearing that it was Qin Yan's matter, Alice's attitude immediately changed.

“……”

At this moment, Qin Yan was secretly sighing in his heart: Although he saved Alice back then, Alice also saved him later, and this kindness can be regarded as repayment, but in addition to saving him, she also helped him so much, how much favor do you owe before and after?

However, he knew that it was very difficult to obtain centralized power in the Empire, because the Celestial Power Empire was never a centralized power for a single person, but a council composed of the top members of the Celestial Power clan.

The transition from parliamentary to centralized, even if only temporary, is not military, but only refers to the mobilization of human and material resources.

But!

This is equivalent to taking away a part of the power that everyone originally held from the hands of many high-ranking members of the empire, from the hands of those parliamentarians of the empire.

Even with the support of Peony and the cabinets, and even many national elders, I am afraid that those parliamentarians will not easily agree.

So...... If, on this basis, there is the intervention of other forces to help Qin Yan grow his momentum and bring greater benefits to the empire, it will be much easier to implement.

When the imperial capital was busy, and countless people were cleaning up the emergencies at the wedding and the mess left behind, all the members of the imperial council were notified.

The Imperial Diet is urgently convened!

It didn't take much time to gather, because these high-ranking Imperial Councilors all came to attend the Emperor's wedding without exception.

They were also present at the time of the incident, so when Peony ordered the Imperial Diet to be convened, all the members of the parliament arrived in a short time.

It's just that in the past, a council was held on the Imperial Capital Star, but now the Imperial Capital Star has been completely destroyed, so you can only find a nearby place to temporarily serve as a council hall.

More than 1,000 people sat in the conference hall, and many people were talking in low voices.

The Imperial Capital was attacked, and the Imperial Capital Star was destroyed.

You know, this has never happened in the history of the Celestial Power Empire, although there are no other casualties except for Olivia, it still makes these high-ranking Imperial Councilors furious - the destruction of the Imperial Capital Star is definitely a slap in the face for the Empire.

Be sure to find the person behind it!

Be sure to make the commander pay a heavy price!

With the exception of a very small number of people in the know, all the other members of parliament believed that the emperor had ordered an emergency council to discuss the matter.

When Peony stood on the high platform of the hall and proposed to let Qin Yan obtain the right to allocate all the manpower and force resources of the empire, more than a thousand people immediately exploded.

What's going on?

Shouldn't we now discuss how to find the instructor and what means to use to deal with it?

"Emperor!"

Hearing Peony's proposal, a marshal immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "First of all, it is imperative to find the messenger and return the color, not to discuss other things; Secondly, from the beginning of the establishment of the empire to the present, it has always implemented a parliamentary system, how can it be possible for one person to have the resources to allocate the whole country? So what else do you want us people to do? Isn't the emperor trying to break the laws of the empire and make his husband absolutely centralized?! ”

This is not a serious matter, he is obviously questioning Peony.

"Or in color? So, I can tell you right now that the messenger is the Hidden Yuan Empire, how are you going to return the color? Peony said quietly.

"This ...... What evidence does the emperor have? ”

"I naturally have the evidence, now I just want to know, if I tell you the envoy of the Hidden Yuan Empire, what countermeasures do you have."

More than 1,000 people, without exception, were all silent.

To be able to become an imperial councilor, they are not ordinary people, they will not be like those young people, who only know how to shout and kill impulsively.

What to do?

Avenge?

War?

That will only make Tianquan and Yin Yuan fall into a life-and-death war, but in the end it will cheapen other countries.

Other than that, there is only one way - forbearance.

As for the so-called protests...... Did it work?

Protest is only the behavior of the weak, and the strong will do it directly, while the protest of the weak usually does not play any substantive role.

"Marshal Shennong, tell everyone your way." Peony said to Qin Yan, who was sitting in the front row of the council seat.

"Kill." Qin Yan cherishes words like gold.

"Kill?"

The marshal who questioned Peony before sneered: "Is the marshal telling a joke? If it could be so simple to solve the problem......"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yan directly interrupted his voice: "It's not the Tianquan Empire that does it, but another force - I will build a force to deal with the Yinyuan Empire, and the establishment of this force requires a lot of manpower and material resources, so I must obtain sufficient resource allocation authority, instead of wasting a lot of time every time I want any resources, and convening a council to get approval." ”

The marshal showed a stunned, almost collapsed expression, and looked at Qin Yan with SB eyes: "Lord Marshal, I would like to know what is the difference between declaring war directly on the Hidden Yuan Empire according to your method?" You poured all the resources of the empire to build a force to deal with the Hidden Yuan Empire, fundamentally, you are fighting a war of attrition with the Hidden Yuan Empire, have you ever considered that doing so will make the empire fall into a situation where the oil is exhausted? ”

"Compared with directly declaring war with the Hidden Yuan Empire, this method has one of the biggest advantages, that is, the Hidden Yuan Empire doesn't know who their opponent is, and other empires don't know either, this matter is related to my Heavenly Power Empire."

"Is it okay to curse people for being lowly in office?" The marshal's face turned pale.

"Whatever." Qin Yan said indifferently.

"Shennong! I really regret that you voted to be promoted to Commander-in-Chief through a proposal, and before that you gave everyone the impression that you were smart and wise, but what you said today makes me think that you are a complete idiot - do you still have brains? Are you trying to use your stupidity to make the whole empire doomed?! ”

"Marshal Darren, watch your words!" Peony drink cold.

"Emperor, is it wrong to say the lowly position?"

Marshal Darren pointed at Qin Yan angrily and shouted, "Let the Hidden Yuan Empire not know who the opponent is?" Are you blind? The men and horses you dispatched are from the Tianquan clan, and your warships are from the Tianquan clan, so you won't be seen by others? What's more, even if the Hidden Yuan Empire didn't know who the opponent was, what could it do? When you attack others, don't you die yourself? With the two countries equal in power, the end result is a lose-lose situation. Even if others don't know that the strength against the Hidden Yuan Empire is our Heavenly Power Empire, it is an indisputable fact that it has led to a large loss of imperial resources in the process of consumption. Even if the country looks glamorous on the surface, it will eventually be hollowed out of its national strength, how can it keep pace with the other seven countries? ”

"First of all, I can guarantee that the Hidden Yuan Empire will not know who their opponent is; Second, I will not cause large-scale depletion of the existing resources of the Empire. ”

"Really? That lowly job is really curious, how can you guarantee it? Marshal Darren sneered.

"With this."

At this moment, Peony's voice came, and when everyone's eyes passed, they saw a huge light curtain, and the next moment everyone was stunned.

There's a lot of data.

There are still pictures.

There are moving pictures.

On the screen, I don't know which star system it is in, huge military bases are busy, and a large number of warships are being built in a steady stream.

However, those giant warships that were thirty or forty thousand meters long were completely different in appearance from the warships of the Tianquan Empire, and their size was even larger than the strongest warships of the Tianquan Empire.

There are also those terrible data, not only recording how many such warships have been produced in this military industrial base, but also recording how many Tianwu Nine Heavenly powerhouses exist in this base in the Imperial Military Department without any record - where did these warships and warriors come from?

"Emperor! You don't have the right to call on the treasury without the permission of Parliament......"

"You're saying that I don't have the authority to mobilize the resources of the treasury without authorization?"

Peony looked at one of the marshals who questioned it, and said lightly: "I just called a group of soldiers with very ordinary strength, and I still have this power." As for these battleships...... Do you think these warships are the technology of my Celestial Empire? Turning ordinary soldiers into Nine Heavenly powerhouses is not the resources in the treasury, these are all brought back by the Commander-in-Chief Shennong. In other words, in fact, the Imperial Council's proposal to give him full power to allocate resources is meaningless to some extent, because whether it is these technologies or resources, they are all from him - why can't he use the resources he has obtained freely? ”

No way!

How is this possible?

Where did he get this kind of technology that clearly surpassed the Heavenly Power Empire? Where do you get such a huge amount of resources?

Not to mention...... He is a member of the Heavenly Power Empire, even if these resources and technologies are indeed obtained by him, they should be at the disposal of the empire, if whoever obtains the resources can use them freely, then the huge country will not be messed up?
