In the Imperial Palace.

Fang Yuqing flipped through the list of imperial cabinet expenditures for the previous quarter. His face sank slightly, and he said a little unhappily:

"In the past few months, haven't we not used troops abroad? Why is there still such a high fiscal deficit? Where did the money go? ”

Meng Xuan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Cabinet's budget has always been used strictly according to the plan, and it is expected that there should be a small balance by the end of the month!" It's just that in the middle of last month, His Excellency the Prime Minister approved several new applications for financial allocation, which led to spending directly out of control! ”

"Newly approved? What are the applications? How did Hongu not know in advance! Fang Yuqing asked with some surprise.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer immediately took out a stack of papers and presented them, and the female officials next to him came to take them and then presented them to the Queen.

She took it and flipped through it, her face becoming more and more gloomy: "Completely repair the administrative office centers throughout the empire; improving the welfare of local officials; Increase the salary bonus package of council members and extend the paid vacation time! Provide luxury flying cars for all officials at or above the level of the planetary administrative district; Immediate family members are provided with free grade 5 or higher genetic optimization surgery ......"

"The funding gap of up to 600 billion yuan crystals is actually all used to do these inconsequential little things! Who came up with these proposals? ”

Meng Xuan looked at her with some fear and said, "It was proposed by the parliament, and His Excellency the Prime Minister personally approved it!" ”

"Him?" Fang Yuqing was slightly stunned, frowned and said:

"Why would the Prime Minister do this? It's not that he doesn't know the Empire's finances! The sea of stars has not yet been unified, a new round of war is imminent, and all aspects will cost money! Now is not the time for these officials to enjoy their happiness! ”

“…… Has the money been disbursed? ”

Meng Xuan hurriedly said: "Thirty percent has already been sent, and the rest of the money is dragged on the grounds of insufficient capital turnover!" So it hasn't been sent yet! ”

"Forget what has already been sent, and cancel all the rest!" The queen said categorically, "In the future, you don't have to look at this type of grant application, just throw it in the trash, and the empire doesn't have spare money to care about these things!" ”

"Yes! Got it! Meng Xuan was relieved.

With Fang Yuqing's words, she can logically block many hands that only need money in the future, without worrying that she will offend people! If there are those who are not convinced, let them tell the queen!

After this matter was agreed, Fang Yuqing said to Jin Yue on the side: "How are you prepared for the things that Your Majesty explained?" Will those people be able to leave as scheduled? ”

Jin Yue got up and said: "Chen received a notice yesterday that up to now, 100,000 experts and engineers have been selected, and they are all elites who have participated in the 'Zero' project!" The equipment and instruments that need to be carried are also in place! It's just that the minister doesn't have the authority to transfer the 'Kongying' spaceship, and His Excellency the Prime Minister said that he doesn't have it in his hands, so the minister has no choice but to ask Her Majesty the Queen to call the shots! ”

According to Yun Haoyu's request, the team of experts sent by the imperial capital must rush to the vicinity of the ancient wormhole within three days, which is naturally impossible for ordinary high-speed warships! Only the special equipment of the "Kongying" spacecraft, which can shuttle through space faults, can meet the requirements.

Fang Yuqing's eyes flashed, and he said quietly: "This is simple, this palace will give you the permission password immediately, and within two hours, all personnel must all set off!" ”

"Yes! The minister immediately set about it! Jin Yue hurriedly said.

Next, the officials of the various departments of the cabinet reported to the queen on the major matters in their own fields, and then she decided how to deal with them one by one.

By the time everything is over, it is already approaching night, and it is time for the lights to come on!

Yan Mengbing walked in silently and asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you need to eat now?" ”

Fang Yuqing rubbed her temples, nodded and said, "Okay! Let them go and prepare first! By the way, is there anything going on outside? ”

"Nothing else!" Chief Yan replied, "It's just that the concubines heard that His Royal Highness the Prince has taken in two more side concubines and is feasting guests in his palace!" A lot of officials went to give gifts to celebrate! ”

"He's pretty good at arrangers!" Fang Yuqing couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows, "Two days ago, I said that I was unwell and applied for leave, but I was busy with this!" It's really ......."

Chief Yan looked at her expression and said in a low voice: "Don't you think that His Royal Highness the Prince's performance in the recent period has been a little ...... Isn't it normal? ”

"What do you want to say?" The queen was slightly shocked, stared at her with some confusion and said:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is nothing wrong with this matter itself, but ......"

"You know, that's not what the concubine said!" Manager Yan said calmly.

Fang Yuqing gently leaned on the armrest of the throne, closed her eyes and pondered for a while before she said:

"Prince Zhong Mingrui is the younger brother of His Majesty, his affection is extraordinary, and he has been conscientious since he became Prime Minister, and he has never made a mistake! It's just that something is really wrong with his emotional state during this period of time! ”

"By the way, where are the two women he has in Xinna?"

Mr. Yan: "This concubine doesn't know!" It stands to reason that the marriage of nobles must be approved by the House of Lords! But this time, Duke Yun Tianque said that he didn't get any news! Even the people around the prince don't know the origin of the two side concubines! ”

"That's the problem!" Fang Yuqing pursed her lips, she was a little embarrassed, and she had no idea for a while.

If it was replaced by some other official, she would naturally not say a word, and directly ordered a thorough investigation! No matter how high the level is, no matter how respectful the identity is, she will not take it seriously, but this person's identity is really special, and if she is not careful, I am afraid that it will cause Yun Haoyu to be unhappy!

Chief Yan said with a smile: "His Majesty the Emperor has always trusted this younger brother of his own, if there is no sufficient evidence...... That doesn't make any sense at all! So let's bear with it now and wait and see what happens! Maybe he just forgot the laws of the empire for a while! ”

"I hope so!" The queen said coldly, "Go, call Su Shangqing, Li Xingyan and the two of them!" This palace has something to explain! ”――

In the spatial fault, Princess Qi's gorgeous car is hurrying away! On the huge body, the intricate and exquisite patterns change at high speed, and the scorching treasure light is uncertain, and the gorgeous light and shadow shrouds the radius of thousands of meters around the car body! No matter how violent the spatial turbulence is, it can't affect it in the slightest!

"Your Royal Highness, is your message really accurate and reliable?"

In the hall inside the car, the member of the Senate of the Miliam Empire, the Grand God Ramkel, sat on the throne and asked Princess Qi, who was at the top.

"Of course it's reliable! Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Princess Qi said with certainty, "Let's make a sudden attack this time, and we can completely settle the overall situation in one battle!" ”

Ramkel spread his paws and said helplessly: "The envoy group led by the deity has just arrived in the imperial capital and is waiting for Her Majesty the Empress to receive him. But you suddenly told us that you should gather all the strong men and set out with you to do this! This one...... Isn't it a little too hasty? ”

"Yes, this is no small matter! If there was no careful planning before, and there was a deviation at that time, the consequences would be catastrophic! A round Zhanying clan powerhouse next to him also chimed in.

Princess Qi said confidently:

"Dear Your Excellency Clophilos, this palace can fully guarantee the authenticity of the news! His Majesty the Emperor went over there this time, and there were only some powerful Alien Legions around him to guard, and the main fleet was still on the way! It will take at least ten days or so to be able to meet! ”

"This is a rare opportunity to kill him at a low cost! Don't miss out! ”

Ramkel was silent for a while, and finally said, "Okay then! We believe you once, if the emperor really falls here, the next thing will indeed be much easier, but it is worth taking a risk! ”

After Princess Qi learned the news of His Majesty's departure through the inside line of the palace, she immediately made a decision to mobilize all the hidden people still in the imperial capital, and invited all the envoys of the Miliam civilization and the Zhanying clan to come over!

Yun Haoyu is usually under heavy protection, whether he is in the army or in the imperial capital, and he is basically not alone, and his own strength is strong enough! Therefore, it is almost wishful thinking to kill him easily!

Therefore, this time, Princess Qi will make a dangerous move, mobilize all the forces at hand, and be sure to give it a try!

If you succeed, of course, everyone is happy, but if you fail, the consequences will be a little troublesome!

Sooner or later, there will be a big war between the Starlight Empire and the alien civilization, this is a fact that everyone understands! Before that, the two sides did not stumble on each other! But all this is being done under the table, and no one has any intention of publicly tearing their faces!

However, as long as this matter is put into action, it means that there is no room for any change in the relationship between the two sides, and it can only be resolved with iron and blood!

That's why Ramkel and Cloferos are so worried, they have also called up all the power lurking in the imperial capital! In the event of defeat, everything in the empire will be uprooted! The next big war will pay an unimaginable price! They can't be careless! ――

Near the ancient wormhole, Yun Haoyu was cultivating in the void, and in the vast sea of stars, hundreds of millions of bright starlights were projected from infinity under the traction of mysterious power, merging into that round of bright starlight!

Around the starlight, one after another ancient fierce beasts transformed from star essences were running back and forth roaring, condensed like a substantial killing intent, and the entire void trembled slightly!

He had already been promoted to the peak of the seventeenth order, but now he had reached a bottleneck period, and he couldn't make an inch of progress in his eagerness, but as long as he found an opportunity to break through, he would definitely be able to go further and become an existence comparable to those of the Zhen clan powerhouses in foreign civilizations!

During this period, Yun Ruoxuan once proposed to go to the wormhole to have a look, but he thought about it again and again, but he still refused!

It's not that he's cowardly, it's that the main fleet of the empire hasn't arrived yet, and that big guy needs to be guarded, if after they leave, those alien civilizations jump out and make trouble, it's a big trouble!
