Chapter 134: The Transformation of the Princess
As soon as Lei Ting saw Lei Luo, he found that Lei Luo had a face, and he wanted to laugh in his heart, good boy, he dared to show his face to Lao Tzu, but his face remained the same: "Just came back?" ”
"I've already taken a shower." Lei Luo said without being salty.
Thunder nodded, and went straight to the point: "You should know why I'm looking for you, right?" ”
Lei Luo said, "Are you here to explain to me what you fooled me at the Family Hotel?" "If you want to say that Thunder obviously said that he would let him go to the hotel on the weekend, okay, he went.
As a result, it was the sinister and cunning Cardova who picked up the customer, so he didn't say anything, and without explaining anything to himself, Candova gave Relo a full body examination and left.
"Hey, shouldn't my dad let you tell me something?" Relo asked Candova, who was anxious to go to the dashing city.
Candova was stunned: "Tell me about things?" How did I not know? In addition, your dad was on a business trip, and he just asked me to bring you some information, and he didn't say anything else! ”
Damn, I was fooled! Lei Luo was worried about this, but fortunately, he had already discovered the information left by the real Lei Luo, which made him feel a little comforted, but it was still a little uncomfortable to be deceived like this.
"Stinky boy, pretend to me!" Lei Ting knew that Lei Luo was deliberately pretending to be stupid, but he didn't get angry, but explained: "At that time, I was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, so I didn't have time to prepare in a hurry and went out to meet Your Majesty, so I didn't take care of you!" ”
It's more or less an explanation, Lei Luo smiled, and then said, "Then you're here to give me a lecture!" ”
"The communicator is a little inconvenient, but I'd better give you a little warning. You should already know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince announced his abdication, right? Thunder said.
Lei Luo nodded: "Everyone's communicator has sent a message, it's hard to know if you don't know!" ”
"That's right, so now the situation has become complicated, if the third prince really ascends the throne, we have to make some preparations!" Thunder said.
Lei Luo said: "Why can't you accept the third prince, and you have to oppose him?" ”
Thunder sneered: "What do you think is the reason, he is the grandson of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer is the one behind your many assassinations, you understand?" ”
"Anyway, it seems that the relationship between the military and the Ministry of Finance is always tense?" Of course Lei Luo understands, he has watched so many movies and televisions, and he must have this awareness.
Lei Ting said: "It has always been a bad relationship, but this time the Chancellor of the Exchequer not only deducted military spending, but also had no small ambitions, and wanted to reach out to the military side many times to control us and become a ruler in the true sense!" ”
"Actually, I don't really understand, since the Titan is a constitutional monarchy, why everything in the empire is still so closely related to the royal family?" Relo asked, for whom the country's so-called constitutional monarchy felt more like feudalism.
"The emperor cannot interfere in the government and the appointment and dismissal of officials, but he also has a certain decision-making power, which neither the parliament nor the military can refuse. The first point is that when His Majesty the Emperor has enough evidence to prove that a courtier is guilty of treason, alive, corrupt, etc., he can convene a royal council to present the evidence, and ask us to thoroughly investigate and dismiss the official, and then we will give priority to dealing with the matter according to his decision. Lei Ting paused and said: "In other words, if he has enough evidence, he can directly appoint and dismiss officials, and further investigation is what we did later!" ”
Lei Luo nodded understandingly, this is also good, in the Celestial Empire, the emperor can kill people with a word, what evidence is not evidence, and the imperial meeting, it is all scum. The emperor of the old Zhu family can casually pull out the important ministers of the court to fight, and it's okay to beat them to death, then the emperor should be called chic, and the power of the emperor here is obviously a lot more rational.
Thunder added: "The second privilege of the emperor is to have the power to wage war, this power is the most important, His Majesty the Emperor may not be able to directly control the military, but the civilization of the Titans for tens of thousands of years has developed a spiritual imprint of advocating imperial power." If the Imperial Council wants to launch a large-scale war, it must apply to the Emperor after the decision is made, and the Emperor agrees before the battle plan can be implemented! ”
"If you don't agree, won't you just sit still?" Lei Luo said.
"No, if the crown prince and the military agree to the resolution of the parliament, they can be forcibly met, then the emperor can only agree, but if the other two parties do not agree, this combat resolution will be null and void!" Thunder said: "On the contrary, if the crown prince and we do not agree, but His Majesty agrees, we must also carry out this order!" ”
"That is, the emperor is more like a bond, he maintains a balanced decision-making between the military and the parliament and even the finances?"
"Yes, he is the link that links the entire imperial system, a point of balance." Lei Ting said: "So His Majesty the Emperor is still the supreme existence, but it is not as hard as those emperors in the feudal dynasty, and they do everything by themselves, and they don't even know if they are blinded!" ”
Lei Luo nodded, in fact, this is a bit like the presidential system of the American Federation, the president is the supreme commander, but not everything can be decided, and he must listen to the opinions of all parties before making decisions in large-scale battles of the army! But relatively speaking, the emperor here doesn't seem to have as much power as President Lao Meina, he is more like a balance, thinking that whichever side is justified will be shifted to which side.
"Before the selection of the prince is announced, all parties are still on the move, but once selected, you have to be careful, if it is Princess Claire, we will be fine, if it is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, you are ready to tense your nerves at any time!" Thunder hung up the communication after speaking.
Lei Luo shrugged helplessly, and then said to himself: "Politics"
"Xiao Tianwei, now Grandpa Huang is going to hand over the road paved for you to you!" The old emperor took the elevator all the way down with Han Tianwei, knowing that it stopped when it was minus one hundred floors.
The elevator door opened, and then a group of people bowed and saluted: "See His Majesty the Emperor, see Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
Princess Claire hadn't spoken much since she left the prison, and most of the time she listened to others with cold eyes. She no longer participates in the conversation with a gentle gaze and a soft tone, but just listens with extreme patience and expressionlessness.
She instantly saw one of the three people who were in line to salute, a person she knew all too well, and it was she who had given her first most educated lesson.
"Let's all be exempt!" The old emperor smiled and said, "In the future, your master will no longer be me, but my good grandson, Her Royal Highness Princess Claire!" ”
"Your Highness the Princess!" Everyone immediately bowed to Princess Claire again.
"No courtesy." The princess's voice was as ugly as metal, and her eyes were fixed on the woman, the woman who had plunged her into a nightmare that had lasted for half a month!
The old emperor soon discovered the princess's abnormality, and immediately started a round: "Xiao Tianwei, you should thank this good friend of yours more when you put it away!" The old emperor stepped forward and took Heidier's hand and led it to Princess Claire: "For so many years, she has helped me secretly monitor the crown prince and the third prince, and she has given up many things, and all this is to protect you!" ”
The princess's shoulders trembled when she heard this, and she wanted to put on a smiling face to express her gratitude, but her face stiffened like a robot, and her face was full of ugly expressions.
But Heidier seemed very natural, she smiled, and looked at Her Royal Highness confidently and gently, as if she was full of joy, and it was clear that she did not think that she was doing Her Royal Highness a disservice, on the contrary, she thought that she had made Her Royal Highness mature.
So she stepped forward and bowed slightly to the princess and said, "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”
This greeting sounded like a thorn in Princess Claire's ears, and it pierced Claire's heart deeply, and she reluctantly said, "Okay." She no longer knows which side of her best friend, who grew up together, is true, because she is so good at acting, and she always lets herself fall into it without knowing it.
The emperor laughed, then took Princess Claire and Heidier's hands left and right and said, "Okay, let's go in!" ”
A group of people immediately entered the underground base.
In the center of the base is a huge brain processor, black cables stretching from the periphery of the brain like human blood vessels, and in front of each microprocessor stands a group of technicians in white coats.
Also standing in various corners of the hall are a group of soldiers and guard robots with expressionless faces. It's just that Claire found that these soldiers did not have collars and badges, which proved that they did not belong to the military vassals, and were probably private soldiers raised by the royal family.
The old emperor asked, "Is everything alright?" ”
Heidier said: "The amount of learning here is very large, and I have to return to the imperial capital to continue to monitor the three princes, and still let him think that I am his move, so I am afraid that I will not be able to take over in the near future!" ”
The old emperor said: "It's nothing, after Tianwei becomes the prince, she will come here to study for a while, but you can continue to use your identity to follow!" ”
Heidier nodded. And Princess Claire doesn't seem to have the intention of listening to their conversation, just looking around one by one, it's like a huge monitoring processor, and humans use the micro-terminal to retrieve the information in the central intelligent brain for screening to achieve the purpose of collecting intelligence.
And this information involves all walks of life, and even those player profiles in online games.
The old emperor said to Princess Claire: "Don't underestimate these players, there are many hidden masters in them, especially those who are extremely talented but have no chance to enter the military and politics, all need to be selected with these game data." ”
"Oh yes, do you know how Lei Luo's father was chosen by me?" The old emperor looked at Han Tianwei and said.
Han Tianwei looked at him and didn't speak, but her expression already showed that she didn't understand. Because Thunder's father, Lei Zhan, also appeared very suddenly, and in history he seemed to be a teenager who suddenly jumped out. I only know that he dropped out of high school after graduating from high school, and then made money by playing games, and then somehow was found by the old emperor, so he followed the old emperor all the way into the military world, and won outstanding feats again and again in the battle against the Arda people and became the first grassroots marshal of the empire.
