The Queen Mother's Bedroom.

In the living room, my mother sat at the top, and Zhong Mingrui's brother and sister sat opposite each other, chatting for a while. The large crystal table is filled with a variety of delicate pastries and snacks.

"Mingrui, the dim sum in this palace tastes very good, if you like it, eat more!" The mother looked at her child and said gently.

He smiled and nodded, grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhong Xuanying glared at him with disgust: "Look at your poor and evil way of eating, how do you look like an imperial prime minister?" ”

"Isn't that what I'm like in front of you! I don't dare to be outside, otherwise even if my brother doesn't say it, those old-fashioned court etiquette officials won't let me go! He said a little depressed.

Mom smiled: "This is no better than before in the people, now you are a very good minister, of course there must be some rules in words and deeds!" Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders? ”

"Yes! People are now being pestered by a group of female officials every day to teach court etiquette, which is really annoying! Zhong Chenying was a little big when she thought about this, and she also complained.

The mother glanced at her daughter deeply and said meaningfully: "Become a person next to him, some things are up to you!" Compared to what you get, what is this grievance? ”

"Mom, I know!" Zhong Xuanying, who has always been a little rude, surprisingly did not refute, and said a little abruptly:

"He is now the head of a country, there are too many things in all aspects, there are no rules, we naturally have to think more for him!"

"If only you could think like that!" Mom said with relief, "I called you over today, because there is a big matter, and I have to discuss it with you!" ”

When Zhong Mingrui heard this, his expression straightened up, and he asked puzzledly, "What is the matter!" ”

"He told me about your sister's name!" The mother turned to look at her daughter and said, "You should understand what he meant, right?" ”

She nodded lightly and said, "Mom, explain it to your brother!" ”

It didn't take long, and the mother quickly finished speaking, and then asked Zhong Mingrui: "Child, what do you think?" ”

Yun Haoyu's consideration was that if Zhong Xuanying was in charge of the Middle Palace, Zhong Mingrui would have to step down from the position of prime minister of the empire in order to maintain the balance of power in the court.

This is a problem of the system, not that he can't trust his own relatives. After all, the empire is newly established, and all kinds of problems must be taken into account! If such a bad precedent is set because of personal feelings, it is very likely to cause some extremely bad consequences in the future!

It's like the ancestors of the Shuofeng Empire, the seven brothers in distress struggled from the bottom of the society, sharing weal and pain, life and death, and that relationship is by no means fake! It's a pity that because of this, there is no distinction between public and private, and national law and family affection are confused! The six brothers received so many privileges from their own emperor elder brother that they could say that they were rare in ancient and modern times!

At that time, the territories of the six great families enjoyed a completely independent administrative, judicial, tax, trade and a series of important powers, and the imperial government was not allowed to interfere and interfere! You can build your own fleet and ability legions! That's almost the same as six of a nation!

After the death of the ancestors, the relationship between the second generation of the head of the family and the royal family began to separate, and there were more and more interest disputes! So much so that the second generation of monarchs finally had the idea of cutting the feudal domain in their later years, but unfortunately because the six great families joined forces to force the royal family, it finally came to an end! This scourge has lasted for thousands of years and cannot be solved!

Therefore, as far as the Zhong family brothers and sisters are concerned, the position of the Empress of the Empire and the Prime Minister of the Empire can only be chosen! If these two positions fall into the hands of a family at the same time, the impact on the imperial court will be too great! None of the more sane courtiers would allow such a situation to occur!

Zhong Mingrui pondered for a while, and said softly: "Okay! For the sake of your sister, I will resign tomorrow by myself, and I won't make it difficult for my brother! ”

My sister said with some hesitation: "But, if you don't sit here, who will the new prime minister be?" Since our incident, you have always been responsible for internal affairs, once you don't care about this, will the new person in power be like you, and think about your brother? ”

"Crassus has a good mind, is also very proficient in politics, and has been holding the position of deputy prime minister, participating in central decision-making, it should be him!" Zhong Mingrui said.

"Him?" The younger sister frowned slightly, and said with some concern: "I heard Sister Qiyue say that he is a distant branch of the Augustine family, but the real identity is not so simple!" It is said that his father was an illegitimate son of the former head of the family in the people! ”

"Now that the vitality of the family is greatly damaged, they will definitely try their best to revive the family business, although there is an elder brother staring, not daring to come openly, but there will be no less small actions in the secret! If he gets that crucial position, it's hard to know what those guys will think about! ”

Zhong Mingrui was a little surprised, and said in a deep voice: "There is no doubt about Crassus's loyalty to his brother, but for the sake of safety, it is indeed necessary to take precautions!" ”

Mom suddenly said, "Do you want to listen to me?" ”

"What's your opinion?" The brother and sister looked at her together.

"I thought, since you are not at ease, Mingrui, then don't resign! As for Xuan Ying, you ......," the mother looked at her daughter and said, "Do you think you really need the position of the master of the middle palace?" ”

"This ......," my sister didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Mom didn't let her express her position immediately, but continued, "When you were in Twilight Star, your father had a good relationship with Ah Yu's parents, and he also received a lot of help from them. So in the end, when his father went out to sea, he entrusted Ah Yu to our care, as you know at that time. ”

"At the beginning, we didn't expect that Ah Yu would have such an achievement today! Even you have a status above 10,000 people under one person! It can be said that if it weren't for this child, we would all still be suffering on Twilight! ”

"He is a person who values affection, so he has always taken good care of us, but he has always asked for something! Mingrui, you don't need to say it, you are a very good minister at a young age! Even Xuan Ying, isn't your position in this harem unmatched? Although you don't have the name of the queen, who of them dares to snub you? ”

"Mom! You're saying I should give up this position......" my sister said with some nervousness.

The mother sighed: "Child, you have to understand that whether the woman in this court is doing well or not depends not on her status, but on how much affection the man she serves for her!" Even if she has the honorable status of the queen, if the emperor doesn't like it, then it's nothing! Even a favored maid is much stronger than her! ”

"You grew up with him, lived under one roof for so many years, and the affection you have cultivated since you were a child is your greatest advantage! No one can compare! You are favored by him now, and it is because of this that you have nothing to do with the position of the queen! ”

"Therefore, if you take the initiative to give up this position, Mingrui will not be embarrassed! And you won't be less pampered than that! The status in the palace is also superhuman, and no matter which one of them is given by the queen, it will not affect you at all! That's a joy for all, don't you think? ”

"Mom! I understand! My sister thought about it for a while, and finally nodded: "Go back and tell your brother, I don't want this son!" ”

"You don't have to worry," my mother smiled, "your brother has never wronged you, you have made a sacrifice, he will naturally have other expressions, he will never let you down, what do you mind?" ”——

To the Yuan Star Field.

Since the fall of the Shuofeng Empire, the capital of the new regime has moved again and moved to the Tianhua Star Domain! However, since this was originally the hub of heavy industry in the Shangyu Galaxy, it has not been affected too much, and it is still an extremely prosperous and wealthy area of the Empire!

Not far from the former Imperial Palace, in a newly renovated building complex, is the headquarters of the newly formed Imperial "Divine Punishment" Legion.

Not long ago, Yun Haoyu had decided to carry out a large-scale reorganization of the empire's existing military strength to meet the needs of a full-scale conquest of the Star Sea in the future! To this end, the formation of a large-scale mixed synthetic army is a new attempt!

The "Divine Punishment" Legion mainly has 500,000 newly manufactured "Qianyuan" class warships, 35 elite ability legions, and a large number of special operations forces, as well as some secret weapons! The commander of the legion is Yang Wentao, and the Alien Legion is in charge of Zhao Qingyang. It currently exists as a strategic strike force in the southern region of the entire empire!

Considering the next strategic offensive direction of the empire, Yun Haoyu has already entrusted Yang Wentao to oversee the defense of the entire eastern Shangyu galaxy, and all fleets and ability legions in this area are under his control!

"Your Excellency, the Imperial Capital has come to order! It was signed by His Majesty himself! ”

In the office, the confidential secretary put a letter marked with a top-secret seal in front of Yang Wentao.

He hurriedly dropped the light pen, picked it up and examined it carefully, and put it under the special testing equipment to check the cipher code on the seal, and only after confirming that it was correct, did he open it cautiously.

"Finally...... Ready to act? After reading the secret letter, a look of excitement on the commander's face disappeared suddenly.

Now that these days have stopped, it's time to take action! And as he expected, His Majesty chose the main direction of attack on the southern Xinjiang side!

When attacking the Shuofeng Empire, Tian Xuanhao and a group of former imperial generals sang the leading role, because he had to sit in the rear, he had no chance to participate in the big war, and even a few days ago, the imperial capital was crowned a meritorious hero, and he couldn't get out. If you say in your heart that you are not depressed, that is false!

For this reason, he complained to Yun Haoyu a few times in private, so this time he was in charge of the Eastern Shangyu Galaxy, which also meant to appease him.

This place is next to the Monro system of the Xuanluo Federation, but it is now the territory of the Elon Empire! The Federation's sphere of influence has been reduced to less than two hundred star fields! The assistance that the Starlight Empire gave them before could only help them support them for a while longer! It's impossible to turn the tide of battle!

Yang Wentao thought about it for a moment, and already had an idea, and ordered the biochemical adjutant: "Notify all the officers of the nearby detachment and above, come over for a meeting immediately!" There is something important to announce! ”

"Yes! Excellency! The adjutant saluted and went out.

He slowly rubbed his chin, stared at the huge star map in front of him for a while, and sneered slightly in his heart: Yilong Empire? Ji Yuxuan? You're pretty confident in yourself! Do you really think that with the support of an alien race, you won't dare to trouble you?

actually pulled all the family out to fight with the Federation, and he was very relieved to his rear!

I'm going to kick your ass now! What can you do?
