Chapter 1240: Imperial Diet
Undoubtedly, Qin Yan has become the hero of the second base of the expeditionary force, the idol of all the soldiers in the base, and the god in the minds of countless people!
There is no exaggeration in this.
How powerful are the Tulloks?
This family has existed since the day the Lyra Empire established its state, and at that time the Lyra Empire did not yet have the ability to travel interstellarly and could only be stuck on a single planet. Today, more than 10 million years have passed, and as the Lyra Empire's technology continues to evolve and eventually emerge from the star system into the interstellar age, the family has always had an inseparable relationship with the royal family.
With a history of tens of millions of years and the accumulation of millions of years of high technology, the Tarok family has a pivotal position and strength in the entire Lyra clan, and even among the major races in the entire empire.
Such a behemoth, like a behemoth, with years of accumulation and precipitation, was actually frightened away by the No. 51 formation led by Qin Yan.
Admittedly, not all of the Tulork family's strength appeared this time, not even half of it, but this is already a myth.
It has been less than ten years since the establishment of the No. 51 formation.
At the beginning, Qin Yan was just a small formation leader, and it took him less than ten years to build a small formation into an elite division. Although he has the title of deputy commander, when fighting against the elite army of the Tulok family, he only uses Formation 51.
With the strength of a formation, repelling the Turlock family, nearly half of the high-end combat power, what a terrifying result is this?
What he has done is something that has never appeared in the history of the Lyra Empire, even outside the Lyra Empire, I'm afraid it is unprecedented, right?
He worked a miracle!
He created a myth!
All this he has done is enough to render a rich stroke on the historical picture of the empire!
Of course, after Caesar came to the base in person, he had an in-depth long conversation with Qin Yan: he told Qin Yan two things.
One good news, one bad news.
The bad news is that his original agreement with Qin Yan is still valid, as long as the members of the No. 51 formation reach the peak of the Great Realm, they can unconditionally use the Earth Vein Source Spirit and ascend to the next Great Realm.
Isn't that good news?
Wrong!
Now Caesar has added another precondition to this agreement, that is, this agreement is limited to the No. 51 formation lineup when the agreement takes effect.
To put it bluntly, if someone joins the No. 51 formation in the future, those people will not enjoy this treatment.
The fact is that the current No. 51 formation, except for Qin Yan and Hou Qing, who can't use the earth's vein source spirit to improve, all the other members have advanced to the Seventh Heaven: if they really can reach the late stage of the Seventh Heaven one day, with the technology of the Lyra Empire, they can't help them break through to the Eighth Heaven, right?
So...... That so-called convention is equivalent to non-existent.
Of course, Qin Yan could also understand Caesar's difficulty: just from the late Sixth Heaven to the early Seventh Heaven Stage, this step of promotion would require 10,000 units of Earth Vein Source Spirits, and if the No. 51 formation greatly expanded its personnel, wouldn't it be enough to empty the imperial treasury? These resources belonging to the entire empire are not Caesar's alone, if he really does that, Caesar, the emperor, will not want to be the emperor, and he will have to be ousted by the enraged tribes.
As for the matter of consuming a large amount of earth vein source spirits this time, Qin Yan tentatively asked Caesar how to solve it, and the answer he gave was to tell the patriarchs of those heavyweight races about the Alpha Empire.
After learning that Qin Yan was an empire and had attracted such a powerful vassal state, it was certain that these powerful races would have nothing to say.
As long as some of the top races don't have anything to say, the other races certainly won't say anything.
This is also a last resort, and it is only enough to tell the patriarchs of a few large races to ensure that this secret will not be made public.
The good news?
Caesar didn't say anything, and asked Qin Yan to go to the imperial capital with him.
Imperial capital, Lyra.
As soon as Qin Yan came out of the royal warship, he was taken straight by Caesar to a place he had never been to before-it was located next to the Imperial Capital Star Palace, a building that was even more luxurious than the Imperial Palace, looking very high-end and high-grade, covering a large area.
The building is not a skyscraper.
The golden circular building, with a diameter of more than 2,000 meters and a height of less than 30 meters, looks a bit like a closed gladiatorial arena from a distance.
Having never eaten pork but having seen a pig run, Qin Yan knew that this building meant that it was the real supreme power core of the entire Tianqin Empire.
Imperial Parliament Chamber!
When faced with a certain level of decision-making issues, even the emperor cannot make a final decision, and at this time, it must be discussed through the Imperial Diet, that is, when the Imperial Diet Chamber is activated.
Caesar took the lead first, and Qin Yan, Hou Qing, Nina, Eller, and Harley, representing the top of Formation 51, then appeared outside the Imperial Diet Chamber.
Qin Yan and Hou Qing didn't feel anything, but Ayler's face was full of unprecedented ecstasy: "I didn't expect to have the opportunity to come here!" ”
"Isn't it great to be here?" Hou Qing didn't care.
"This is the Imperial Diet Chamber!"
Eller is the kind of person with a relatively calm personality, but he can't hide his excitement at the moment: "Do you know what level of people are required to come here?" ”
In order to enter the Imperial Parliament Chamber, you must have the status of an Imperial Councilor, so how can you become an Imperial Councilor?
Two paths.
First, there are some candidates who are fixed, such as the patriarch of the top two thousand races in the empire, and the head of the top family in the top 100 races.
Although there are hundreds of millions of races within the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Tianqin Empire, the difference in strength between each race is very large. For example, many years ago, when the Lyra developed into an interstellar civilization and entered the planet where some races in the system are located, the race may even be in a primitive society.
It can be said that more than 95% of the high-tech weapons and high-level martial artists of the entire Lyra Empire are controlled by the top two thousand races.
The more you go to the front, the stronger the power you control, and the top ten races hold at least thirty percent of the empire's power.
For example, among the strongest Tianqin clans, such as those top families, the strength of one family can even be compared to the strength of the entire race ranked one hundred, you can imagine what an astonishing gap this is.
There are different levels of these councillors, and each person has a different number of votes, with the lowest being one vote and the highest being ten votes.
In addition to this way to become a councilor, another way is to hold public office in the empire, and at least to reach the rank of general.
The rank of general has one vote, marshal has three votes, and commander-in-chief has six votes.
For example, the Wilton family patriarch Ryker, who is the head of the top family in the Lyra clan and the commander of the Seven Stars of the Empire, has a total of twelve votes of decision-making.
These two ways to become a parliamentarian have one thing in common, that is, they have an extremely astonishing status and status. Even those second ancestors who came from wealthy families, most of them have never had the opportunity to enter this huge building in their lifetime - all who can enter here are the existence at the top of the pyramid of imperial power.
Even those second ancestors with extraordinary backgrounds are proud to be in the Imperial Council, and for Eller, if he hadn't joined the 51st formation, God knows when he would have had the opportunity, or would he never have had the opportunity to come in in his lifetime?
"I didn't expect Lao Tzu to have a chance in this life, to come to such a high-grade place, it's not in vain to live this life!" Harley, a hunter, was equally excited.
"Qin Yan, what is the emperor asking us to participate in the Imperial Council?" Eller couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know."
Qin Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, the emperor only asked me to come to the imperial capital with him, and I just learned that I was going to join the council. ”
"It's definitely a good thing anyway, maybe I'm going to give you a seat in the council!"
"Who knows......"
"You don't care so much, do you?"
Eller glared at him and exclaimed excitedly, "Do you know what it means to be a councilor?" Salons is the commander of our base, but even he is not a councilor, if you have the status of a councilor, you can almost walk sideways in the empire, and both the military and the government have to give you face! ”
"Okay, okay, what are you excited about? Even if you want to give a seat to a councilor, it is for Qin Yan and not for you, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are in a hurry. Hou Qing said angrily, he didn't care about these so-called positions at all, and he had only one purpose, that is, to save his compatriots on the earth.
"Let's go, let's go in first."
The group of five people walked straight towards the council hall, and there were a large number of imperial capital garrisons in the square outside the building, probably under the instructions of Caesar, and there was no obstruction to the five of them.
As soon as they reached the entrance, an officer quickly greeted them and led them inside.
The interior of the building is hollow in the center, with an empty platform in the center, surrounded by high-rises, with a large number of seats rising from the front row to the back, with a total of at least 100,000 seats. When the group entered, there were already 10,000 people sitting in the seats, and since the number of seats was far greater than the number of people, everyone sat in the front row, and all the seats were vacant in the back.
However, there are also some seats in the front row that are empty, but there is a holographic projection on the seats, and it is obvious that the members of the seats have official business and cannot come, so they participate by remote communication - the Imperial Assembly does not allow anyone to be absent, except in extremely special circumstances.
After a short time, the five were taken to a lower seat.
The appearance of the five people surprised many councilors, obviously their faces were too unfamiliar, or there were a very few people who knew Qin Yan, but they all showed puzzled looks.
"Councillors."
Caesar appeared on the high platform, and his voice echoed throughout the council chamber: "There are a few very important things to say about the temporary decision to convene the Imperial Council today, and there are also some decisions that need to be decided by a vote of the Imperial Council - first of all, there is one thing I must make clear to the Parliament, that is, the second base of the expeditionary force today cost 3.82 million units of the leyline source spirit, and it was not exchanged for war merits. ”
Wow!
At this moment, all the members of the seats exploded: nearly four million units of leyline source spirits were definitely a very staggering expenditure.
It stands to reason that such a large amount of expenditure must be decided by Parliament, and who would dare to make such a decision without authorization?
