Volume 3 College Life Chapter 60
In Qingyuan College, if you want to say who is the most sensational figure among the well-deserved freshmen this year, it is naturally Lin Hai.
However, now the name Lin Hai is not a nice word in the aristocratic circle of the Upper East Side of Milan Star. First of all, his surname is Lin, and he comes from the Lin family of Riverside Star, the Lin family that defected from the Lily Aristocracy back then, has never been a popular figure in the upper aristocratic circle of Milan Star, and is even slightly marginalized.
In the aristocratic circles of Milan Star on the Upper East Side, people always avoid mentioning their family's fiefdom name "Winchester" and surname "Lin", at most the Earl of the Riverside Star.
And the title of Count Riverside Star is not a "hereditary nobleman", but a "lifelong nobleman". In the hierarchy of nobility, the empire is divided into three types of nobility. The first is "hereditary nobility", which refers to the family title that can be passed on from generation to generation, and the primogeniture system is implemented. In the case of the heir of a nobleman, the title is passed on to the person closest to him after his death. No matter how the situation changes, as long as the imperial kingship survives for a long time, these families will always survive. All members of the nobility of the House of Lords of the Imperial Diet are hereditary nobles of this type.
The "legal aristocracy" refers to the senior judges who perform the judicial functions of the upper court. According to the practice of the imperial constitution, the upper house of parliament was the highest judicial organ in the country and the appellate court of the local courts at all levels, but in the history of the empire, many nobles in the upper house did not understand the legal business and were not qualified for this function. As a result, the empire adopted the "Appellate Adjudication Law", whereby the king could add some "permanent appellate trial nobles" to the high judges who had served for more than ten years, according to the Prime Minister's proposal, to carry out the judicial function of the upper court to try appeals. These "judicial nobles" generally do not participate in activities other than the legal business of the House of Lords, and their titles are limited to this
The third type is the "lifelong nobility", whose title is also limited to the person and cannot be inherited. It is usually awarded to viscounts and barons, but in the past thousand years, with the change of the world pattern, the earldom has also begun to establish a lifelong system. Count Lin Lei, who defected from the lily aristocracy back then, is a lifelong nobleman. His son Lin Wei, whose experience as a soldier in his youth also earned him the recognition of the Prime Minister and the Queen, and was awarded a lifetime aristocracy.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, this is basically the end, in Lin Wei's generation, in addition to his adopted daughter Lin Wei is more outstanding, his successor Lin Hao, even if he can inherit the family business, but he is not a person who can be affirmed by the king and the prime minister and continue to grant the title of noble earl for life. So in the eyes of many people, this is probably also a sign of the decline of the Xinglin family on the riverside.
However, when the illegitimate son Lin Hai entered everyone's field of vision, it once again put the Riverside Xinglin family in the heated discussion of the Milan Star aristocratic circle.
In the clubs of the upper echelons of Milan's star power, aristocrats from the Upper East Side gathered. There were famous members of the Skull and Bones Guild of Milan, dignitaries, and business tycoons, who were talking about the situation in the star map with cigars in their mouths and glass Rigolan Highlands in their mouths.
"If there is anyone who can become the target of public criticism so continuously recently, the two fathers and sons of the Earl of the Riverside Star must be the most, three days ago, under Lin Wei's accusation, Zhao Jing, the speaker of the Riverside Star, was arrested on suspicion of multiple crimes, and in the process, his two sons who were on a mission in the public star field were attacked by foreign forces, and the fate of the space can be described as a disaster." The Minister of Justice of Milan Star smacked Ruoxing's cigarette, slowly spit out a plume of smoke, and said.
Milan Star's famous "poisonous widow" Countess Lina said with a puzzled face, "This matter is very troublesome, it is said that Reddil did it?" ”
"Reddil, the air thief?" Du Long, the thirtie-year-old chaebol and the domineering heir of the Brownstone Group, straightened out his shiny parted head, and was a little surprised and surprised, "Haven't you been wiped out by our empire's dutiful Fifth Starfleet?" ”
"Do you believe the propaganda slogans of the army?" An old man with a full beard and a noble rank spoke, "In the border area of the New South Star, there are dozens of asteroid fragments, even if the Starfleet Matrix Radar searches inch by inch, it will take a fleet several weeks to thoroughly inspect it. Not to mention the huge resources consumed, this is still within the empire, outside the New South Star, that is, the more complex celestial domain, dozens of times more complex geomorphological space, the empire has five fleets, it is impossible to mobilize a fleet for an extraterritorial search for an air thief...... Therefore, the starships shown on the so-called TV cruising the outer airspace, in the eyes of those air thieves, are tantamount to hiding on the dotted islands and watching several naval ships in the sea come and go to show off their might. Every move is in the hands of others, and the air thieves want to hide, and they can't even touch the shadow
"But it's very likely that Reddil did it. After the destruction of the two major air thieves of Tawasi and Raphael, Reddir is the well-deserved leader of the air thieves on the New South Star, although the airspace on the side of the New South Star is temporarily calm, and no news of the Redil group has been heard again...... But the inhabitants of New South Star know it...... Tavasi, Raphael's demise, is just drinking to quench his thirst, people like Reddir, like a tiger out of the cage, Tawasi Raphael is an old air thief power, rich, equipped, people, Reddier is just a guy who has fled here, and he can even be among the three major air thieves, it is conceivable how dangerous this person is...... Now, without the restraint of Tawasi Rafael, Reddil, I'm afraid it's even more terrible, without their news, it's the most terrible thing, because no one can say for sure, in case they open up a new base somewhere, are training troops, and continue to expand their power...... That time will erupt, but it will be even greater than the danger caused by Rafael Tavasi and these people at the beginning, so if it is Reddil's hand this time, I also believe it. ”
Star District Councilor, Kester of the Berg family sipped the Highland wine and said slowly, "Reddirle can't be arrogant for a few days...... The emperor also had concerns about this, so he dispatched a reconnaissance ship to search for the traces of Reddier outside the Xinnan Star Skyspace, although these things were not reported. However, it does not mean that the military is not aware of the threat of Reddil, so the military's actions have not stopped...... At the same time......"
Kester smiled mysteriously, "You should know about the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance. It was the Chamber of Commerce that chased Reddill to the point of fleeing across the stars like a lost dog. The background of this chamber of commerce is the old cloud Aurora empire...... Just yesterday, the Prime Minister received an emissary from the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance. The Zhu Pleiades Chamber of Commerce already knew the news of Reddil, so they sent envoys to bring the armed forces to destroy Reddil...... After the negotiation and transfer, the prime minister will issue the right of passage for foreign affairs to the Zhu Pleiades Chamber of Commerce, and the armed forces of the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance will go to the New South Star Celestial Domain to pursue Reddil. The Zhu Pleiades Chamber of Commerce has been dealing with Reddil for many years, and has chased Reddil to flee one after another, and has been hiding on the border of our empire, posing a huge threat. As for how to search for Reddir, the envoy of the Zhu Pleiades Chamber of Commerce who led the armed forces this time has a wealth of experience, and everyone present does not have to worry about the threat that Reddil may pose to your trade routes."
Since the news came that Redier might have killed Zhao Jing's two sons in a raid on the Longsword Passage, some of the nobles and chaebols in the Milan Star District who had trade routes in the Longsword Passage were in danger, and many nobles were seeking a solution to such a threat.
Together, they have a certain coercive power over Reddil's existence, and the military was able to use such a big move this time, and even secretly arranged special operations forces against Reddil, most of which came from the pressure demands of these nobles.
"And I know one more thing...... Kester," said Kester meaningfully, "that Troy, the emissary of the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance, will arrive at Milan shortly after meeting the Prime Minister and the King. Speaker Sandra, Speaker Garnathan, has arranged a meeting with Troy, and at that time, you can all meet this famous figure of the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance. ”
"Is the envoy of the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance...... That's really interesting......"
"Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance, I have admired it for a long time......"
There is a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere among the people, and the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance is a large cross-international organization, set up in the entire human society, which is a huge economic collective, and they are the hub between many countries. It is engaged in various economic activities such as trade and transportation, arms trading, and trade transit.
Commerce, sometimes more powerful than the starship cannon. Because money can bring down a country, disintegrate a regime, and raise enemies and puppets, every time they go to a country, the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance will receive considerable respect and hospitality. Similar to the nobles in the empire, many also hope to connect with the Zhu Pleiades Business Alliance, if they can carry out in-depth cooperation with each other, it will be another opportunity for every nobleman who wants to expand his family business.
"It seems that Redier's survival is not bad, at least it has brought us a good opportunity."
"I can't wait to meet this messenger"
Someone raised a wine glass to celebrate, and the whole banquet hall was filled with the joyful sound of cups colliding with each other.
"That unfortunate Earl of Riverside Star, father and son, it is said that the wrath of the nobles of the King's Thirteen Round Table Lilies has come, and the Earl of Riverside Star is above the Star District Council, and he is besieged and intercepted, demanding that he, the councilor, take the lead in giving up the mining rights of the New South Star. Moreover, this time the imperial order is facing a new large purchase, which is another opportunity for private arms and mecha companies to show their strength. The Empire's focus is to put this contract into the Milan Star Sector for open bidding after the expiration of the Light Armor Procurement Contract of the Starlins on the Riverside, and this time there will be two more contracts, namely the N-type energy hub contract and the fourth-generation vector propulsion system contract. These three contracts will be put into the Milan Formula Circle Mecha League Competition, and the top three mecha companies in the competition will receive these three contracts. Therefore, it is conceivable that the empire will not renew the contract, and at the level of the Wayne Company in the Formula League competition, it is equivalent to completely losing this large military purchase order, and it will fall from a first-tier supplier to a third-rate level, and Wayne Company still wants to be at the forefront of a star region, which is almost a fool's dream."
"As the Formula Mecha Competition takes place in the second half of the year, this is undoubtedly adding insult to injury. The Earl is about to encounter the wrath of the Lily nobles, and will face the hostility of the faction headed by Speaker Garnathan in the Star District Council, so he resisted and brought down a Zhao Jing, but it was just a return to the past. And his son, on the other hand, was even worse and provoked the Skull and Bones Society impartially. As a member of the Skull and Bones Society, I don't approve of this kind of petty fighting in the academy...... But I don't mind stepping on a Earl family who has offended the wrath of the public. ”
Among those present, the aristocratic chaebol Juzi, who was a member of the Skull and Bones Society, made up a large part. The Minister of Justice will be Ruoxing, the heir of the Brownstone Group, Dulon, the Countess of the "Toxic Widow", and Kester, the councillor of the Star District. In addition to these representatives of the Skull Society in Milan, there are four young men and women between the ages of the ages and 8 years. They were faintly respected by the many prominent nobles in the star circle present, even the older nobles, looking at them with a sincere respect and heartfelt foresight.
It is strange that the elderly and experienced nobles would have a submissive attitude towards a group of young people, and when the other party spoke, they all listened respectfully, which was a bit of a reversal of the cart before the horse.
However, in aristocratic circles, this situation is not strange at all.
The aristocracy has never been a special group of people whose qualifications can be judged by their age and experience. What is speaking here is status. Not to mention the heirs of the five marquis families with the longest and deepest history in the Milan Star District.
The reason why these aristocratic families who have been in the upper house have been able to maintain considerable influence for thousands of years is because they have never spared no effort in cultivating their descendants. And their descendants must not be regarded as ordinary youth. They have a lot of survival wisdom condensed from the profound family.
The four young men and women are Wilson from the "Flower" Marquis Weir family, Tang Sinan from the "Shark" Marquis Tang family, Ivan Rover from the "Strong Bow" Marquis Ivan family, and She Qingshu from the "Wind Knight" Marquis She family.
Of course, absent here is also Lou Liangyu, the heir of the "Swan" Marquis Lou family, the head of the five marquis of Milan.
Although they have not yet inherited the hereditary title of the family, in fact, the older generation has retreated into the background and gradually handed over the family business to them. It is only when there is a big event that there is a struggling scene, and at other times, the activities of these five people have already reached a great extent, representing the five marquis groups of the Milan Star Circle.
"The most unfortunate problem is that Lin Hai just made the conceited guy of the Lou family unable to get off the stage. Because of the identity of a rotor engine designer, he was treated preferentially by the five-member committee and professors of Qingyuan College, such a pampered and proud person...... We're going to make him suffer. "Flowers" Wilson of the Marquis family said coldly. The circle of aristocracy, especially the five major aristocratic circles, pays the most attention to prestige.
In Qingyuan Academy, they have prestige and rule over five secret societies. In a form of ancient and pious "clinging", the members of the secret society can get the help of the family, and after rì, become the high-ranking subordinates of the star region, with their respective family factions and brands.
The influence of the five marquis nobles is not only in the Upper East Side of the Milan Star, but also in the entire Milan Star Circle and the Star District Council. As for Qingyuan College, one of the strongest universities in the empire, not to mention, they need to sow ubiquitous influence in this cradle of talent.
Therefore, in the academy, most of the students who have violated the secret society fraternity do not end well, even if it is not physical, but in the future, they will find that in their lives, if they want to enter certain fields, there will always be a lot of inexplicable obstacles and stumbling blocks.
It stands to reason that even if it is an aristocrat, no matter how strong his connections are, it is impossible to penetrate into all aspects of society
But don't forget, the five marquis nobles have been operating for thousands of years since they entrenched themselves in the Milan Star District. The nobility of the marquis level is only second only to the existence of the thirteen round table dukes of the empire zài and ancient. Every marquis family, in the Milan Star Circle, if it did not indirectly affect the fate of hundreds of thousands of people, is really worthy of this title
The five marquis families rely on each other, unite together, and their influence is not trivial. This is the power of the aristocracy. Even if there are occasional members of parliament who resist the authority of the aristocracy, it has been proven in the long history that this kind of rebellion is sometimes only a corrective effect on the wanton behavior of some nobles. It will restrain some excesses, and may even punish some abusive nobles. But there has never been any threat to the ancient aristocracy that has shaken its foundations.
Just as some commercial companies have a so-called "blacklist", there is also a similar "list" in the five marquis groups. Such a list is not such an exaggeration as the "death list", whether this list is tangible or invisible, or in their hearts, but at least it records some people who are not treated and trusted by the five marquis groups.
It is obvious that in this society, which seems to be peaceful and the rule of law pursues justice, but in fact the undercurrent is turbulent and cannot be prevented, there will always be an invisible barrier that will strangle their life ambitions to death in the bud, and pronounce a kind of death sentence for their future.
And in such a list, Lin Hai, a freshman from Qingyuan Academy, was definitely on the list because he slapped the face of the Lou family and angered the five marquis groups
"But don't forget, he's the one who invented the rotor engine...... This is something we can't deny, it's too late to contact the media, the matter has spread, and there are professors in Qingyuan College who support him, and it is no longer easy for the academic community to ban him. Tang Sinan of the Tang family frowned.
Ivan Rover smiled, "Don't be stupid, the current rotor engine is just in vain." If Figas had been the inventor in his time, do you think we would still see him as a thorn in the side of disobedience to our five marquises? It is only possible to recruit him first...... Don't blame me for reality, today's rotor engine, I've seen it for a few times, it's just a toy, can such an engine push a mecha of more than nine generations? At best, he just stood on the shoulders of a giant and completed a toy that many people wanted to complete but did not finish, and when this toy came out, of course, someone would play with it and watch it curiously...... But something that doesn't have value can't last forever. The excitement has already begun to pass, and people just marvel at the invention of the rotor engine, and then what...... After that, it didn't do anyone any good, and after that everyone still had to eat, sleep, and work...... Therefore, the inventor of the rotor engine could not bring him anything, and it could not be his eternal refuge. No matter how you say that sentence, the easiest thing to forget is the people.
As long as we convey certain information, the media will also "lose interest" in him. Moreover, a first-year student in the academy is just trying his luck to become famous. Soon, people will forget about his"
"Full shielding silent blocking...... the only female heir among the four, She Qingshu smiled playfully. This is a term used in the media to refer to a kind of banning and punishment of certain public figures who have made mistakes due to certain things and caused bad social impacts. When all media things are transparent to each other, without any layout, no camera, and no attention, this person is like being tied to a stone and thrown into the deep ocean, sinking under the calm and unharmed sea, never to see the sky.
"The identity of a rotor engine designer may bring a good foundation for his life, or it may bring some turning points in the crisis of his family on the Star Star...... It's just a pity that his future will probably end here. I've seen pictures of him himself, but it's actually ......."
She Qingshu praised with red lips and white teeth, "People are quite beautiful and good-looking"
