In the hall of the Imperial Parliament, where solemnity and luxury coexist, less than half of the 3,000 seats were occupied, just because the total number of parliamentarians of the Heavenly Power Empire was less than 1,300.

These more than a thousand people held the supreme power in the country, and they could decide the future of the entire empire without the approval of others.

At this moment, their eyes were all focused on the rostrum of the center.

"The temporary convening of all the councillors has only one purpose, that is, I propose that the seven cabinets unanimously pass a resolution, and the empire will add a seven-star commander-in-chief seat." It was the peony who stood on the rostrum and held the position of the king of a country.

The cabinet of the Heavenly Power Empire is composed of eight people, namely the emperor, the four seven-star commanders, and the other three, the generalissimos in charge of the key departments.

As soon as Peony finished speaking, there was immediately a discussion in the seat.

It is not a question of whether the Imperial Diet will pass this resolution, but whether or not this quasi-seven-star commander-in-chief is, this proposal has a fundamental problem.

"Emperor."

At this time, a man sitting in the front row got up from his seat and said in a deep voice: "For hundreds of millions of years, the empire has only had four seven-star commanders. Four years ago, Commander-in-Chief Cairod was cut down, and Marshal Simon was removed from the position of Commander-in-Chief - now there are no vacancies for the four Commanders-in-Chief of the Empire, and it would be ...... if there was another Commander-in-Chief."

"Isn't it?" Peony asked.

"This ......"

"That's right."

Peony glanced at him and said, "At the beginning of the establishment of the emperor, there were four commanders-in-chief, and this tradition has been continued for hundreds of millions of years. But you should be well aware that this is tradition, not a rule, not a law, and in the laws of the empire, it is never stipulated that the empire can only have four commanders. ”

Yes, the Heavenly Power Empire has always had only four seven-star commanders, which in the eyes of others, is something that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years and has not changed.

It's just that Peony never saw this as a problem.

As she said, the empire has only four seats for the commander-in-chief of the Seven Stars, only because of a tradition that has been formed since ancient times, which is neither a rule nor a law. Theoretically, not to mention adding one commander-in-chief, there is nothing wrong with adding ten or twenty.

"Since the cabinet has been unanimously approved, and it does not violate the laws and rules of the Empire, there is no problem, it's just ...... May I ask the emperor, who is the person nominated by the cabinet? Someone asked.

As a result, those who sat in the front row of the parliamentary table were second only to the eight members of the cabinet, and the most promising bigwigs immediately became nervous.

There are about a dozen high-level members of the empire who have reached this level, and they are of course the most promising, and they can't help but be excited.

"Four-star lieutenant general Shennong."

Peony's gaze fell on the council hall, a gate not far away, as the gate opened, Qin Yan walked out of it, and Peony's voice echoed: "Of course, Shennong has another identity, which is unknown to most of you here - he serves in the special service. ”

Although only the emperor and the four commanders-in-chief can issue orders on the existence and internal operation of the special service, as the imperial parliament, more than 1,000 people know the existence of the special service and the meaning and value of the existence of the special service.

Can the title of the secret service give Qin Yan extra points?

Of course!

With the experience of the special service army, you can definitely add points in future promotions, but now it is definitely not possible, and it is far from enough!

And what about the Secret Service?

Although there are not many soldiers in the Empire's special service, there are also a few, and there are only a few Imperial Commanders-in-Chief, can it be that the Special Service Army can serve as the Imperial Commander-in-Chief?

It's a joke!

In particular, the marshals who sat in the front row of the parliament, who thought they were very promising, heard what Peony said turned out to be a special service soldier, and only had the rank of lieutenant general, and they almost didn't go out on the spot - they didn't go violent because they couldn't do that, but it didn't mean that they would support Peony's decision.

"Emperor, I think that this person doesn't even have the qualifications to enter here!" One of the marshals said unceremoniously.

"I really can't figure it out if I am a lowly position, just a four-star lieutenant general, and I don't even have the qualifications to become an imperial councilor, why should I be the commander-in-chief of the empire?"

"This is ridiculous, humble reservations!"

"Against!"

"Humble opposition!"

Among the more than 1,000 people, more than eighty percent opposed on the spot, and Peony's face suddenly looked a little unsightly, although this was expected.

After all, Qin Yan is the man she loves deeply, and if someone opposes her man, it is strange that her face can be good-looking.

However, from an objective point of view, the opposition of these people is completely reasonable.

Just as the two marshals said at the beginning, to be able to become an imperial councilor, the lowest has the rank of general, and the lieutenant general does not even have the qualifications to become the lowest-level parliamentarian, he is not qualified to enter the imperial parliament hall at all, let alone become the commander-in-chief - the gap between the lieutenant general and the commander-in-chief is too big, and at this level, it is difficult for ordinary people to be promoted to one level in their lives, how can there be a direct triple jump?

"Shouldn't you take a look at Shennong's record first?" The one who spoke was four years ago, who replaced the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Empire, Simon, the new commander-in-chief of the Empire, who stood out from nearly 100 marshals of the Empire and was promoted to commander-in-chief with the highest vote rate four years ago.

"Shennong? I've heard about him. ”

At this time, a marshal sitting in the front row said in a deep voice: "When he was preparing for recruits, he did make a lot of contributions, and the methods of the Eight Great Punishment Needles to improve willpower have been promoted among the elite military branches, and the ten art of war he dedicated to the empire are also strange books. ”

Without waiting for others to speak, his words suddenly changed: "My Tianquan Empire is military-oriented, and the army has always paid attention to rewards for meritorious service. Shennong's contribution to the empire cannot be denied by anyone here, but isn't it with the help of these exploits that he was promoted to lieutenant general just after the end of the recruit assessment period? He has already received the reward he deserves, unless he can show enough convincing merits, is it too unreasonable to want to use the combat exploits he has already used to promote from lieutenant general to commander-in-chief? ”

His words are so well-founded that there is no way to refute them.

He did not deny Qin Yan's merits, but the key issue was that Qin Yan's previous exploits had been rewarded by the empire.

Who has ever heard of one credit in exchange for two rewards?

Peony knew that if she said in public the credit of Qin Yan for clearing the axis of the universe, let alone the seven-star commander-in-chief, even if she immediately made him the new emperor, these councilors would not say a word: everyone sitting here has absolute loyalty to the empire, although they will also care about personal interests, but the interests of the empire will always come first, and no one will deny the kind of meritorious service that has amazing significance for the entire empire.

But......

Peony also knows about the axis of the universe, one less person knows about it, it will be less troublesome, if it is known by more than a thousand people, it is really difficult to achieve absolute secrecy.

Since this matter cannot be made public, there is no way to count it as Qin Yan's military exploits, and apart from this merit, I really can't find anything else that is enough for him to be promoted to the seven-star commander-in-chief.

"Marshals and generals, humble Shennong."

Qin Yan showed a quiet and peaceful smile and said, "I wonder if I can let you adults move, and then decide whether to say no or yes?" ”

"Move? Where to go? This is the Council Chamber, do you want us to convene the Imperial Council somewhere else? Someone asked in an unkind tone.

"Isn't it for the sake of a humble promotion that the Imperial Council is being convened today? Humiliation won't delay you too much - how about half an hour? ”

"This ......"

After all, it was a candidate jointly nominated by the eight cabinets of the empire, although all the other parliamentarians felt that it was not only impossible for Qin Yan to become the commander-in-chief, it was simply absurd, but he had to give face to the emperor and several commanders-in-chief - didn't he want everyone to move and give him a chance to prove himself?

All right!

Let him prove that if he still can't get everyone to change his original intention, then everyone will deny it, and there will be nothing to discuss.

The Imperial Parliament Chamber was built on the Imperial Capital Star, and most of the time, this planet was inhabited only by Peony and her retinue, handmaidens and others, because the entire planet seemed very empty.

Soon, a group of more than 1,000 people followed behind Peony and came to an underground square that covered a wide area and was impossible for ordinary people to enter.

I don't know when, there were already many people standing neatly in the square, with a hundred people as a phalanx, and a hundred squares were exactly 10,000 people.

Soldier?

With the exception of the eight members of the Cabinet, who were in the know, the other MPs all looked puzzled.

These 10,000 people are not big people, not even elite soldiers, because the highly talented elites usually serve as officers in the army, and the vast majority of these 10,000 people wear sergeant-level epaulettes, and the highest rank is only a low-level captain-level officer.

What did the emperor bring everyone here for?

What tricks is that kid playing in Shennong?

In fact, even the eight imperial cabinets led by Peony were also full of doubts: unlike other councilors, the eight of them knew that there were 10,000 soldiers here, because these people were brought by Peony, but they also didn't know what Qin Yan was going to do.

If the mood of these councillors was doubt, then the soldiers who received the order from the top and rushed to the empire as quickly as possible were shocked.

Some of them are relatively talented, but most of them are generally talented, and their talents are uneven: if you want to say that they are all elites, it is better to say, the key is like the vast majority of them, theoretically they don't even have the opportunity to see the emperor in this life, why were they sent to the imperial capital?

Soldiers make it their duty to obey orders, and they don't ask much.

However, when they saw the group of people standing in front of them, the shock in their hearts can be imagined.

Emperor!

Commander-in-chief!

And there are more than a thousand, and the epaulettes are at least all of them with the rank of general...... These more than a thousand people are the existence of the pinnacle of the pyramid of imperial power, how could they come here at the same time?

"Everything that happens today will be the top secret of the Empire."

When speaking as the king of a country, Peony has an unparalleled momentum, her eyes are not sharp, but it gives people a feeling that cannot be disobeyed: "You are all the most loyal soldiers of the empire, so you have the opportunity to come here - Shennong, you can start." ”
