According to the relevant laws of the empire, a prince with the title of prince, as long as he has sufficient financial and material resources, can build a military force of no more than 250,000 warships and 10,000 silver mecha in peacetime, of which the number of gold mecha cannot exceed 500, and the level of the battleship is one technical level lower than that of the Imperial Praetorian Guard!

Moreover, these troops are all recruited by His Royal Highness the prince himself, including the procurement of equipment and materials, the selection and construction of military bases, the formulation of combat training plans, military salaries and the distribution of various welfare benefits, anyway, all affairs must be solved by themselves! The royal family will not give half a point!

At this time, you can see the financial level of the princes. Imperial decrees stipulated that the children of the royal family could not engage in direct business, but could only own some property indirectly by secretly supporting agents, and could not be involved in certain sensitive areas.

Therefore, the economic source of most princes and princesses is mainly the income from the operation of their own fiefs. Those Tianhuang nobles with vast fiefs and rich resources are certainly wealthy, but more princes do not have such good conditions.

Therefore, the legions under their command are basically dissatisfied, and many unambitious princes and princesses only symbolically raise some fleets, and most of the income is squandered by them.

However, the newly returned four princes of the empire have completely broken all the conventions of the past!

His Majesty the Emperor issued a clear edict that the three newly formed Imperial Praetorian Guard Legions, that is, 300,000 warships. Five mech legions, i.e. fifteen thousand mechs. All in the hands of His Royal Highness the Four Princes!

In particular, it is worth mentioning that these warships and mechas, as well as the supporting equipment, are the latest models purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs with special funds. As for the officers and men, they were all selected from other Praetorian Guard regiments. Just wait for the equipment to be in place and you can immediately form combat effectiveness!

Such a move once puzzled the ministers and attracted a lot of criticism from other members of the royal family, but after the emperor reorganized a group of officials and nobles. And the sound subsided.

Hearing the Emperor's question, Yu Qiangui took a step forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the formation of the legion is progressing smoothly, the first batch of new equipment has begun to be delivered, and the selection of personnel is also proceeding as planned, at most half a month later, you can see the first complete and combat-effective Praetorian Guard Legion!" ”

Qin Weilie nodded. He asked again: "What about the guards around the four princes?" It's time for the selection process to begin, right? ”

His Royal Highness's personal guards are one level higher than the Praetorian Guard Legion, almost equivalent to the palace guards around the emperor. As the last safety barrier by the prince's side. The significance of this cannot be overestimated!

"Yes, it's just that he got into some trouble!"

Yu Qiangui replied, briefly recounting the situation related to Qin Huang in the past few days, and also mentioned the reactions of those wealthy families in the imperial capital.

"This kid...... Sure enough, it's a stunned young man! Figger, the assistant for imperial security affairs, said disapprovingly.

Marshal Zhu Ti glanced at him meaningfully. Didn't say anything.

According to the unwritten unspoken rules of the past. There is nothing wrong with the ideas of those wealthy families, but Qin Huang's practice of not entering the oil and salt is extremely offensive! It's Figel who would say that.

It's just that this kind of secret arrangement and transaction can't be put on the table after all, so it's not easy for others to talk about it.

Imperial Prime Minister Bai Deqi said: "This Qin Huang is dedicated to thinking about His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, but some practices are too upright and mean, and it is only right that they need to be flexible!" ”

The corners of An Kaili's mouth curved slightly, and she said with a smile: "Having said that, the guards around this prince are not trivial after all!" It's just that you have to have the strength of a golden mecha general. This one stuck most of the candidates. ”

"Those wealthy families are unwilling to come up with more important children, so they expect to use some unpopular side children to deal with the past. What does this mean to His Royal Highness the Four Princes? It's just a waste of places! ”

In the final analysis, this is also a way to stand in line, and those families who are willing to truly obey the decision of the emperor's majesty and have no dissenting intentions will usually send their excellent core children to the prince as personal guards.

And this is equivalent to a result that is beneficial to both parties, those children of the family have such a resume, and have the opportunity to have a relationship with the prince, as long as their own talents are qualified, the future career will naturally be smooth sailing!

Marshal Zhu Ti muttered: "Since His Majesty is interested in the four princes, of course the ministers will not do that yang and yin violations, and every qiē will be in accordance with the agreed principles!" ”

Bai Deqi glanced at him, and said the same: "The minister's daughter has just returned from a trip, and now she has nothing to do at home, so she just has to find some errands to do!" I hope that His Majesty will allow it! ”

Several of the confidants and important ministers already knew the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor, so they all unanimously made assurances. In the end, Qin Weilie nodded with satisfaction, and personally drew up a list and handed it to Yu Tiangui, asking him to transfer it to Qin Huang.

After the court meeting was dispersed, the burly Marshal Zhu Ti went out of the palace gate, calmly sorted out the medal on his chest, and waited to board his special flying car.

"Your Excellency Marshal, please stay!" A mellow and melodious voice sounded.

He looked back and found that it was actually the Minister of the Interior who came over, followed by Yu Qiangui, a close minister.

"Is there anything wrong with the Duchess?" He asked, surprised.

This secret intelligence chief, whose hands were covered with blood and who was famous in the countries of the human world, was a well-known lonely minister in the court, and he had always been the object of respect and amenity among the ministers. The marshal hadn't had much contact with her before, and I don't know why she came to her this time.

Duchess Ankelly smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when we get in the car!" It just so happens that the Ministry of the Interior has some files that need to be transferred to the Military Department, and His Majesty the Emperor has recently ordered an important errand, and the military department may need to cooperate in the implementation process, so we can talk slowly! ”

Zhu Ti groaned for a moment and finally nodded.

When the three of them sat down in the car, the flying car immediately lifted off into the air surrounded by many escort vehicles and mechs, and rushed towards the location of the Imperial Military Headquarters.

“…… Heard. The construction plan of the batch of 'Xuanyang'-class Death Star ships in Tongguò the year before last is almost complete? Yu Tiangui was the first to speak.

Zhu Ti was stunned and replied, "Yes! There are ten Death Star ships in total, three of which have been delivered to the Praetorian Guard. The remaining four were assigned to the four frontier military districts of the empire, two were supported by the Star Luo Heavenly Palace organization, and only the tenth ship had just been assembled and tested, and the base was currently being built to wait for the staffing to be in place, and then it would be rationed ......"

"No need!"

Yu Tiangui took out a red order and handed it to him, and at the same time explained: "Command, this Death Star ship will be assigned to the newly formed Praetorian Guard Legion. In the future, it will be used as a special seat ship for His Royal Highness the Four Princes! As for the needs of the military, His Majesty the Emperor will make other reasonable arrangements! ”

Zhu Ti's face changed slightly, and he took the order to take a closer look. It was indeed the handwriting of the emperor's majesty, so he said in a low voice: "Since it is the meaning of the emperor, I should do it ourselves!" ”

After a pause, he sighed softly again. couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty has worked so hard to arrange for him. I don't know if the one will appreciate it or not! These days, the Empire has too many rules to break for him! ”

Duchess Ankelly's eyes were slightly condensed, and she stared at him meaningfully.

Marshal Zhu Ti looked at her calmly and said: "You don't have to be nervous, I have always been the most staunch supporter of His Majesty, although I don't understand it in my heart, but as long as it is His Majesty's meaning, I will definitely do it to the letter!" ”

An Kaili bowed slightly, and said, "I never doubt the marshal's loyalty to the empire and to His Majesty the Emperor!" Something about His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. Part of the reason is because of His Majesty's guilt about the events of the year, and of course more importantly. For the long-term interests of the Empire! ”

Zhu Ti was silent for a while, and said: "What happened back then, Your Majesty may have a last resort!" But what happened afterwards, it can be said that our empire was used by those insatiable bastards! ”

"We do the wicked, we carry the infamy, but it is the guys who enjoy the benefits! It's just a pity that the first queen ......"

Yu Qiangui said quietly: "Maybe! Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has grown up safely and will be able to inherit the empire in the future! I hope he can understand the hardships of His Majesty the Emperor and stop dwelling on the grievances of the past! ”

Speaking of this, his gaze subconsciously looked at the Minister of the Interior.

An Kaili smiled indifferently: "Don't come to the bottom of me, with your mind, you will definitely understand what may happen next!" So you don't need me to remind you of what to do and what not to do, right? ”

The two ministers sighed at the same time and fell silent in unison.

It's still the same sentence: Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back! In order to give an explanation to His Royal Highness the Four Princes, this court will inevitably set off a bloody storm again! Those families who contributed to the troubles in the events of the year, and even participated in it themselves, I am afraid that none of them will be able to escape!

……

"Since this is the meaning of the emperor's majesty, of course there is no objection in the next, and it will be done as soon as qiē is done!"

Qin Huang looked at the list in front of him, and said to Qian Gui with a calm expression.

There are about 300 candidates on the list, that is, they represent more than 300 families, all of which are personally circled by Qin Weilie after careful consideration, which is equivalent to the future team arranged for the four princes, and the group of forces that can really be trusted and relied on in the future.

With this emperor personally checked, although there is no guarantee of 100% reliability, he can still give initial trust, and in the future, he will slowly investigate and appoint, and he can select a group of forces that really support him!

As for the families that are not on the list, hehe! Naturally, there is nothing polite about that! Qin Huang has never been a person who is willing to compromise and seek perfection, and for a person or force that endangers his vital interests, he will only choose to wipe out by thunderous means, and will not tolerate and connive!

In this way, the five mecha teams have a total of more than 600 people, and the guards sent to him by the two super organizations add up to 800 people, Meng Binglan has already promised to arrange 500 people for him, plus the current more than 300 people, the remaining personnel gap is only more than 700 people!

This shortage is nothing, with the emperor's edict in hand, you just need to go around the Praetorian Guard and fill it up!

Yu Qiangui said with a smile: "Your Majesty has already said that when the personnel of the Guards Legion are full, you can take them to the Internal Affairs Office to receive military salaries and materials and equipment, especially mechas, which are the best goods!" ”

In addition, the station and training base of the Guards Corps, the system of identity code cards, the arrangement of duty schedules, and various related treatments will also be determined!

At that time, Qin Huang will be a veritable high-level figure in the empire, although the military rank is not high, and the official rank and rank are also very average, but the importance of his position is beyond doubt, and the future development prospects are also limitless!

After sending Yu Tiangui away, Qin Huang returned to the study and began to deal with official business.

Although there are only 3,000 people, there are still a lot of things that need him to do it himself, and this is the first armed force he has at hand, and it is one of the key bargaining chips to maintain his security and status in the future, and it is impossible to treat it casually.

The melodious doorbell music sounded, and after getting his permission, Yang Yanfei walked in with a large pile of invitations and gift lists, all piled up on the wide desk in front of him.

“…… So much more today? Qin Huang suddenly grew a little bigger.

Yang Yanfei couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course, there will only be more and more in the future!" And the origin is more amazing than the other! I don't think you can show some background background, but I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand their pressure at all! ”

She casually picked out a few gift slips and read: "Five hundred grams of purple sand rainbow gold, a box of Su Lan Pearl, two sets of high-end star crystal jewelry, a set of secret pattern blue crystal tea set, plus 300,000 star crystals!" This is a congratulatory gift from His Excellency Count Mishoway! ”

“…… In addition, the list of gifts from His Excellency Governor Tong Niya is three limited-edition luxury flying cars, a luxury villa on the sixth planet of the imperial capital, bearer bonds of the 'Lockhill' group company with a face value of 1 million star crystals, and a high-end winery in Qinghe Province! ”

“…… The gift of the head of the Zhao Changhui family was 'Amethyst. Lieyun's customized version of the golden mecha, three high-end properties located in the imperial capital star system, thirty Heavenly Star Source Elixirs, one thousand units of second-level star-patterned titanium silver, twenty high-level biochemical maids, worth tens of millions of star crystals! ”

"Admiral Xu Ruya's gift is ......"

There are many, many more such lists, and according to her statistics, it is almost more than four figures! Among them, the most generous were the princes and princesses, as well as the families behind them, especially the head of the Shi family, who threw out the permanent development rights of fifteen first-class resource planets in one go!

There are also thousands of banquet invitations received, all of which are from those families with heads and faces in the imperial capital, and the various valuable gifts received have almost filled several warehouses, so Lin Ximei had to urgently exchange twenty large-capacity dimensional space bracelets from the organization before she could properly put away all these things!

But the total number of high-level biochemical maids has exceeded 1,000 but there is no place to place them, looking at these big beauties whose faces, figures and temperament are comparable to those of high-level stars, Yang Yanfei, who is extremely vigilant, immediately sent them to the station of Xingluo Heavenly Palace as soon as possible, and asked her second uncle to keep them on her behalf.

As for the total value of these gifts, according to Lin Ximei's preliminary statistics, it was already an astronomical amount that shocked him!

"Prepare everything, and those biochemical maids, and send them all to the palace later, don't leave any of them!" He was right.

At least for now, the reason why these people are so generous is not because of how valuable his face is Qin Huang, but because of His Royal Highness Qin Zhaoyuan, the fourth prince in the palace!

Therefore, Qin Huang is very clear about proportion, and handed over all these things that did not belong to him, so as not to cause gossip.

For him now, money is not a rare thing at all, as long as he wants it, how many benefits do he want? Even with his personal skills, being a billionaire is a breeze!

Of course, Yang Yanfei also understands this truth, so she has no objection to this.

"But ......"

She looked at Qin Huang's expression and hesitated: "You can ignore other people's invitations, but there is one person, you have to think about it, even if someone asks you once." ”

Qin Huang was slightly stunned, and said curiously: "Who has such a big face?" Is it worth it for you to beg me for him? Could it be ......?"

Yang Yanfei hurriedly said: "Don't think about it!" You already knew her, it was the eldest lady of the Bai family, Bai Yunhui! ”
