Chapter 9: The Imperial Council and Memory Retrospection
Looking at the room full of people, Yu Youzi only knew one of them, and he didn't know if Hygilia asked him to come to the meeting yesterday, whether there was really something going on, or if he just went through the motions and was familiar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoAnyway, the things we are discussing now have nothing to do with me at all, and the loan from the Shijing Factory to the kingdom is obviously not something that I can manage.
Yu Youzi observed the people around him, and stood behind the throne with them at least two floor tiles away. Seeing that Hygilia beckoned behind her from time to time, the royal advisor with relevant knowledge hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to whisper relevant information to facilitate Her Majesty's decision.
After observing a large period of time, Yu Youzi found that this bureaucratic system was completely different from the medieval European management on the earth, and was very similar to the form of "playbook" in ancient China, but the parliament also had certain decision-making powers, such as the issue of issuing loans to Shijing factories just now proposed by the Minister of Industry, which was approved by the Queen, but the Minister of Finance vetoed, and after discussing for a while, it was finally decided to postpone the supportive loans to manufacturers.
This bureaucracy is somewhat similar to the constitutional monarchy of modern Europe, but the authority of the monarch feels significantly greater than that of constitutionalism, as observed from the fact that business, military, justice, etc., all things need to be done through Hygilia. Then the political form of Aaron Barama should be the dual monarchy model, and the monarch or the parliament has more authority, and it is estimated that it will have to be different according to the national conditions of each country.
However, although there are advisors to the royal family, there is no cabinet, and this is the first time I have come into contact with the politics of this world, so I am not sure if it is representative......
In the morning half of this meeting, Xian Ruola stood honestly next to Hygilia, occasionally helping her mother get the materials on the small table next to the throne, and the rest of the time, just like Yu Youzi, she was completely idle until the meeting ended.
According to Mezevin, this is a periodic meeting, and each cycle, that is, the first day of every twelve days, such a meeting is held, depending on the number of topics and the king's wishes. After the last topic of the morning, the issue of the Military Horse Ranch Act, Hygilia asked for a meeting to continue in the afternoon to discuss military affairs and other matters. This was also expected by Mezevin, because Baikoma and the Tour of the Tower and the expedition to the Tower were major events, and in the last year, the regular periodic meetings in the parliament hall have lasted all day.
The officials left one after another, eating and resting to wait for the afternoon meeting to begin, and before getting up to leave, Hygilia stopped Yu Youzi, who wanted to go to Mei Zewen to accompany him, and asked him to come to the small conference room next door first, and had something to say in private.
There was no table in the small conference room, just a circle of comfortable reclining chairs, and the decoration maintained the style of the conference hall, Hygilia asked the entourage to wait outside the door, and after the two entered the conference room, they spoke directly: "The boy from the other world, I heard my daughter say, you seem to have a plan for the sealing beast, and I am glad that you can stick to what you promised when you were in Bark Village." β
Yu Youzi himself is also very strange, remembering that when he first arrived in Bark Village, he was not very enthusiastic about things with the sealing beast, at that time, he was a kind of mentality that he could go up, and he couldn't do anything, and he felt that he was no longer positive, it could be said that he was put in the highest priority position, and the two things of retrieving memories and traveling back reduced the priority...... Is it because you discovered technologies that can be used such as armored warriors and heavy inner demon machines, and you have changed your attitude because you decided that you can fight in a war?
The black-haired young man thought about his thoughts, and said, "Has Her Royal Highness already told Your Majesty?" Yes, I have a plan in mind, but since Her Highness doesn't seem to be very keen on destroying the Sealing Beast head-on, I haven't told her in detail...... Would Your Majesty like to hear my plan?"
Standing in the middle of the room, Hygilia, who was facing away from Yu Youzi, gracefully raised her hand to the side and stopped, "No need, you just tell me how good your chances are." β
"According to the literature, each Sealing Beast is not in a fixed form, and there are differences in each region, and my method does not seem to have been used by predecessors, and there are not too many control variables at all...... If you had to give a probability, it would be half a matter of success or failure. β
Hygilia was silent for a long time and nodded: "I understand." β
"One more thing, I asked Hickland for a batch of weapons...... Yu Youzi told Hygilia about the large internal demon machine-driven support tank he had agreed with Assaberg, but concealed the fact that he had received the Honorary Master Chief Medal.
"Don't be in a hurry to deal with this matter later...... You can go out first. β
Yu Youzi bowed, exited the small meeting, and then waited for a middle-aged uncle outside to enter.
During the lunch break, Yu Youzi found Mei Zewen waiting for him outside the door of the building, this very capable minister did not ask Her Majesty what He had said when he left him, but entertained Yu Youzi to a good restaurant for a good meal, chatted about all kinds of spoons, and returned to the conference hall, the time was almost 18 years, with the arrival of Hygilia, the second half of the meeting began, and began to discuss the two or three important things......
After the speaker raised the issue, the Chancellor of the Exchequer spoke: "Ahem, I mentioned the shortage of the kingdom's finances before, and the expenditure is mainly military expenses and the preparation of the ring tower competition......
The middle-aged man, who was also dressed in military attire, was very cold to Yu Youzi in the morning, interrupted: "There will be news from Baikoma's side in the near future, and the Minister of War needs to be asked for the Tour of the Tower." β
The man sitting on the left side of the long table spoke, he should be the Minister of War, and after the morning meeting was dismissed, he was the person who entered the small meeting after Yu Youzi: "The expenses for the total of five hundred and sixty-two participants have been paid, and as for the preparations for the tower expedition later, I don't know General Xiudweis......"
The cold middle-aged man said in an unquestionable tone: "The matter of going out to the army must wait for His Royal Highness the Prince to come back. β
The Minister of War was choked up for a moment by this reason, and he could only say that he had finished speaking.
Yu Youzi's heart moved, and he once again glanced at the cold middle-aged man, that is, General Xiu Deweis. I had heard this man mentioned by Syrora and Sanfret that he was another pillar of the Karelian army, and he had been leading the army against the rebels until Hygilia's husband, Prince Lemore, the marshal of the kingdom, went to the Baikoma front.
The bald and old-fashioned man, who sat opposite the Minister of War, and inferred from the previous meeting, that his position should be the Speaker, opened his mouth to raise the next topic: "According to field observations, the sealing beast is about to be broken in one day, and the people are quite uneasy about this, please come up with a specific plan as soon as possible." β
It's not uneasy, it's obviously a riot. Yu Youzi complained in her heart, glanced at the expressionless Xian Ruola, thought of the incident that had just left the portal yesterday morning, and was talking and laughing about having Xian Ruola lead the way for lunch and going to a restaurant she thought was the best, and the payment was paid by Yu Youzi, who had made some benefits because of his role as an amusement park manager...... At this moment, without warning, a rotten fruit flew in and smashed on Xian Ruola's head, the snow-haired girl immediately screamed, and at this time, more rotten vegetables and fruits flew over, Xian Ruola, who did not expect to encounter this kind of thing at all, forgot all about her level strength, and stood stunned in place, or Yu Youzi raised her strength and protected Xian Ruola's face, not letting the stunned girl suffer more damage, and finally thanks to the magic of Cesena who reacted, the two of them were not overwhelmed by rotten vegetables and fruits.
Seeing that Her Majesty had not spoken for a long time, the old man of the Interior, who was sitting between the Speaker and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, spoke: "Your Majesty, do you need the old man to speak on your behalf?" He had twice had the experience of deliberating on behalf of the Queen, so this time he also opened his mouth as a matter of course.
Hygilia raised her hand and said without showing her expression, "No need, not from now on." β
Yu Youzi's heart moved and remembered the conversation in the small meeting in the morning, his mind was racing, analyzing the various possibilities in Hygilia's words, and glanced up, there were people in the lobby who didn't know why, but there were also people who were indifferent, it seemed that Hygilia and some people had passed the qi in private, such as Xian Ruola and General Xiudweis, while Yu Youzi was a person who passed the qi but didn't think about it, and more of the participants belonged to the people who were in the dark.
The Foreign Secretary, who sat at the head of the Minister of War, was obviously also an uninformed person, and the middle-aged lady, who was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, asked directly, "What does Your Majesty mean ......?"
"Our country will officially abolish the tradition of sacrificing the Sealed Beast, and in the future, all Sealed Beasts will be eliminated by force!" Hygilia said in a rebellious voice, reversing that soft tone.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said: "But we are facing a rebellion and a ring of towers, and it is already difficult for the Treasury to squeeze out the surplus to wage another war......
Hygilia said softly: "This fund will be paid by our royal family. β
Without waiting for Hygilia to finish speaking, the Minister of Justice said in a tough tone: "This is contrary to the policy of our country since the founding of the country, and it is expected that the seal will be broken the day after tomorrow, so I ask Your Majesty not to act impulsively in such a hurry." β
The Minister of War, on the other hand, bypassed the topic of the Minister of Justice and directly reported on the army's preparations for baggage, and it seemed that he belonged to the people who passed the qi: "We can draw out the military resources needed for a gold coat of arms at any time, but the front line may be tightened because of this." β
Shodweis stepped forward and further broke the news: "Baikoma will not make any moves at this time, and Prince Lemore will be back soon." β
In this world where there is a portal, it is really a day to say that it is not a day, and only a little money can be rushed through the distance without an upper limit in an instant when encountering a major event. Xiudweis's speech as the number two person in the military of the Karelian Kingdom was very weighty, everyone began to ponder the information they heard, and looked at the current situation, no one rushed to speak, the hall fell into a depressing silence for a while, the clock clicked and walked, everyone either lowered their eyebrows and looked at each other, and Yu Youzi felt the meaning of Jilia's request for his presence......
"I'm against it. The old speaker's peculiar hoarse and muddy voice, which seemed abrupt and harsh in the silence, was not as euphemistic as the previous ones, and he broke the status quo with an indomitable momentum to express his position, "How can the traditions of our people since ancient times be abolished so hastily and abolished?"
With the Speaker taking the lead, three more ministers expressed their opposition, namely the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs did not speak out, apparently in a neutral manner, and only the Minister of War in the Royal Assembly supported the Queen's sudden abolition of the ancient ritual tradition.
The slight chirping is not louder than the cicada chirping on the earth, but it is very obvious in a relatively quiet environment, from far to near, from near to far, slowly disappearing, it is the sound of the airship flying far away.
After such a long period of observation, Yu Youzi can be regarded as having a good idea of the Karelian bureaucracy, and the process of the meeting is: first, before the meeting, each minister will submit the agenda to the speaker for review, and then at the meeting, the speaker will propose the topic to the king, and the small table next to the throne will place the information on the corresponding topic, and then the minister in charge of the topic will speak in detail, and the ministers cannot skip the ministers to speak directly, but can only be listed when the ministers are named, that is to say, the minister's views are the views of the ministers behind him, and the ministers do not have the right to speak directly at the meetingγ
So, the queen came to a meeting to democratize, let everyone present vote by secret ballot, and synthesized everyone's opinions, and finally the number of supporters was decisively far pressed to the four opposition ministers, and then the queen took the opportunity to push Yu Youzi to the front of the stage, saying that this time the battle against the sealing beast was handed over to this otherworlder, and finally Yu Youzi also successfully completed the task a day later, eliminated the sealing beast, successfully saved Xian Ruola, won the favor of the princess, and was recognized by the entire kingdom parliament and the country, and became the hero of Karelian......
Yu Youzi came up with such a set of plots in his mind, and it is obviously impossible in reality, first of all, democracy thinks that giving up the royal power will do far more harm than good, not to mention anything else, the royal advisory team on the steps will lose their political foundation, because they include the current Yu Youzi are based on the political rights obtained by the royal power, and the biggest pillar of the Wang family, the military power, will also be impacted.
This is real politics, among the people in this room full of gorgeous clothes, Yu Youzi is the one who has the least right to speak, and he is suspected of being out of line if he wants to take the initiative to do something, and the only thing he can do now is to think about it in his mind...... A feeling of aggrieved arises spontaneously, in the previous life, "I" was engaged in a bloody battle on the plane with the nebula cluster as the basic unit, but now I have no place to put my beak in such a small scene, and I don't know how to put my beak, in the final analysis, it is strength, whether soft or hard power is not worth mentioning at all, the current situation, the hard twenty-five level of level strength, the soft with the storyteller, Hickland's friendships, sneaky and private actions against the Sealing Beast, could not be put on the table, and the right to take out the plan ideas to discuss the final decision was not in his hands.
What to do, what to do, why am I here, what am I going to do? The mystical sensation came suddenly, and the soul began to beat, and the headache was so intense that I could almost feel the influx of memories that I could feel it...... The red background and gold edge of the throne in front of him began to blur and crumple into a circle, the long table in front of him and the people sitting and standing behind the table slowly disappeared, the wall clock dial on the opposite wall began to rotate, the walls, ceilings and floors all became chaos, floating by themselves, and then looking at the throne, where it clearly turned into a goose-yellow moon, I don't know if it is around itself, or it is around it In short, in this void where there are only two of us, we rotate around, our eyelids are heavy and inevitably we look down, and we see our own body, but we don't see the front chest and arm that should appear, but a magnificent battleship, a space battleship with red strokesI know it, it knows me, it's in my memory, I'm its history......
