Chapter 385: Bureau

"So in other words, the actual target of the silver fox is the second prince."

"Disperse the second prince's guard forces, wait for an opportunity to approach the second prince, and finally get the second prince's friend certification and announce it, so that the second prince will lose face."

"At this point, Silver Fox's plan should have been completed, so the synaesthesia potion will be used on me without care? No, there are still problems here, so let's put them aside. ”

"With such a big plan, it can't be just to lose the face of the second prince, so what about the second prince after losing face? Uncle Yang seems to know something. ”

Ziyi thought as she began to collect relevant information, and soon she found something.

The empress thought that the second prince had lost royal face, and scolded the second prince in front of all the ministers. This is one of them. ”

Then the queen began to comprehensively strengthen the defense of the princes and princesses of the royal family, with the eldest princess increasing the most, and the seventeenth prince the least.

Among them, the eldest prince did not increase directly, but the empress explained to the eldest prince alone, leaving him to decide for himself the amount of defense force.

And the second prince just added a class, just going back to the past. What's more coincidental is that the armed forces currently in the hands of the second prince are just the same as those of the eldest princess. ”

Seeing this, Ziyi was speechless for a while, and could only sigh at the boldness of the royal family.

In the current situation, Ziyi can see that there are external forces that have begun to meddle in the succession to the throne, but the empress actually took advantage of the situation to let the princes and princesses start the early competition, I have to say that she simply does not take the enemy in her eyes.

However, Ziyi thought about it, and it didn't feel strange, compared to the parliamentary system of the United Federation, the Galactic Empire implemented a dual system of monarchs and prime ministers.

The emperor held real power, and the cabinet led by the prime minister was accountable to the emperor, while the ministers were accountable to the prime minister.

So many times the emperor doesn't need to make too many decisions, and the empire can function normally.

Twelve years ago, Hilmelia, who was only the eldest princess, brazenly launched a coup d'Γ©tat, directly executed the eldest prince and forced the emperor to abdicate.

Therefore, the royal family of the Galactic Empire has never sent back the open and secret battles between the heirs, and the emperor rarely abdicates normally.

After all, it is not a problem for the royal family to live for thousands of years.

The empire actually has longevity, but unfortunately it is not very useful.

The first is that the royal family itself does not use it, the empire will not accept an immortal leader, and it turns out that the longer you live, the more resources are consumed.

The empire even secretly has a set of consumption and contribution ratios, and after a certain age, if you can't raise the ratio to a certain level, it's better to wait for yourself to die.

But if the emperor is not immortal, how can the emperor let others live forever? And receiving the immortal technique is a rather complicated and long-term process, and it is impossible to hide it at all. So no one claims to be immortal.

When the immortality technique was first invented, someone did this, but it was quickly killed by the royal family, and it was just immortality, and it was not invincible, not to mention the energy gun, and the live gun couldn't stop it.

Therefore, although the empire has researched the art of immortality, it does not pay much attention to it, but the doppelganger potion and synaesthesia potion developed based on the art of longevity are regarded as treasures.

Linghu also lamented this incident when he injected Ziyi with synaesthesia.

There was once an emperor who underwent the art of immortality, but committed suicide shortly after abdicating.

Some people think that it was hinted at by the later emperor, but others think that it is just too much to lose power.

However, it is still okay to properly accept some life-prolonging and rejuvenating treatments. After all, the emperor represents the image of the empire, and he can't be too young or old-fashioned.

Generally speaking, the emperor of the empire can stay on the throne for 50-70 years, and after 20 years or so, the successor will start to compete.

Once the successor is decided, the incumbent will be ready to abdicate, and if he waits too long, the successor will let the prime minister of the current dynasty come forward to admonish, which means that if he does not abdicate, the successor will have a coup d'Γ©tat.

In fact, at that time, the successor basically had already grasped part of the real power, which was equivalent to the two masters of the state.

At this time, the emperor has to let go even if he is greedy for power, and then the successor will ascend to the throne, posthumously confer a marquis title to the prime minister who died admonished, and then let the person designated by the prime minister serve as the deputy minister, and this vice minister is likely to be the next or next prime minister.

The politics of the empire is like that, full of primitiveness. This has always been despised by the United Federation, but in the academic world, both sides have their own supporters, and even a little more support for the Galactic Empire.

In the final analysis, this is still related to the current actual situation, the universe is too big to be managed, and the power of the empire is highly concentrated, but it can form a strong and stable center, and the response to the current situation is also a little faster. It's really a lot like when there was no globalization in the age of the planet.

The United Federation is indeed inferior to the Empire, and the Federation is now showing signs of multiple sub-centers, and some people even claim that this is the Federation in the confederation.

Of course, Ziyi doesn't know much about this kind of interstellar politics, but somehow, Ziyi thinks that Silver Fox may have studied this.

Retracting his divergent thoughts, Ziyi looked at the information in his hand again, confirming that the empress intended to start screening the heir, which made Ziyi a little unpleasant, after all, the current empress has only been on the throne for 12 years.

"But why does Silver Fox want to meddle in the imperial royal succession?" Thinking about it along the train of thought, Ziyi encountered a problem again.

"Silver Fox must have his own reasons, so what did Silver Fox hide from me?" Ziyi once again reviewed what Silver Fox said to herself.

"Thanks to my identity as a spy, I have a connection with the United Federation?" Ziyi's mind suddenly remembered the words of the silver fox.

"No, the Silver Fox has already been in contact with the United Federation, how high can my little spy go? The identity of the thief of the silver fox is not good, the silver fox must have a higher identity or just an endorsement.

Are they conspiring to do something about the Imperial Succession? Ziyi was taken aback by the idea that came up with her.

Unfolding the empire's political map again, Ziyi felt that it was full of flaws, and it could be used by the Silver Fox and the United Federation at any time.

And the empire ignored it, and even sent it to the door, not knowing what was going on.

Ziyi sighed: "Forget it, what reason do I have to worry, they don't have a good bird, whether it's the Empire, the Federation or the Silver Fox, there is no good person." ”

Although Ziyi doesn't think he's a good person.

"If that's what I think, then I've seen the outline of the game. Although I am only a pawn in the game, at least I am a clear pawn. ”

"But how am I a pawn of the Silver Fox? What the hell does this guy want to do, and what qualifications does a thief have to play with the Empire and the Federation?

Could it be that Silver Fox intends to sell at a price? That's not a smart thing to do. Thinking of this, Ziyi remembered his previous doubts: "The original seed must be precious, why does the silver fox use it on me?" Pull me out of the Federation and the Empire? Am I that worthy? ”

This is what Ziyi has never figured out.
