Chapter XI: Rights
readx; Yu Wenhua finally glanced at the Queen of Tianshui solemnly, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Majesty, this is just a little foolish opinion of the minister, and I hope that Your Majesty will judge!"
Yu Wenhua felt that he had said everything he should have said, and the future path would not be something he could decide again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 One of the major drawbacks of the info House of Elders system is that decision-making is too slow, requiring not only the consultation and voting of various elders, but also the final decision of Queen Tianshui.
The Tianshui Queen's face was still as frosty as she looked around at all the elders and said, "Do you elders have no opinions?" If you agree with Elder Yuwen's opinion, then I have decided that we will join the Dark Empire Alliance in this Light-Dark Holy Evil War. ”
All the elders are uncertain, and the war between light and darkness and holy evil is too sinister, and if you are not careful, you may push the country into the abyss and go to destruction.
Seeing that all the elders were hesitant, the law enforcement elder of the three elders said, "You guys activate the Divine Dao Tube, vote!"
When the law enforcement elder's words came out, all the elders were shocked, and the Shinto Tube really had to be used. The existence of this Shinto tube is to solve the difficult problems of the country.
"Begin!" said the Law Enforcement Elder, and all the elders stood up, stretched out their right hands, condensed the water aura, and condensed towards the center of the round table.
A blue cylinder emerges from the center of the round table, its surface engraved with characters, faintly glittering. Exactly, the Shinto Tube.
At this moment when the circle emerged, each elder shot a little blue light from his hand and integrated it into the Shinto Tube, making the Shinto Tube shine brightly. Several large characters erupted from the center of the Yuantong, composed of rays of light. It was written: Ally with the Dark Empire!
Seeing these words, all the elders breathed a sigh of relief, this most difficult thing to decide had been settled, they all subconsciously glanced at the Queen of Tianshui, no one knew what she thought, they couldn't help but think of the story about the Queen of Tianshui, and they thought about it in their hearts.
The Queen of Tianshui did not care about the eyes of the elders, and announced the future responsibilities of the elders, in order to prepare for the second battle of light and darkness and holy evil, the elders also actively responded to the call of the Queen of Tianshui and contributed their duties, and it seemed that the entire Shuihua Palace was full of voices for the country and the people.
Yu Wenhua looked coldly at those elders with impassioned faces who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country, and sneered at those people in his heart. Now with a brave face, what did you do earlier, now it is just a struggle for power, each elder represents the interests of a different group, and they are all vying for the dominance of this war.
The Tianshui Empire belongs to the parallel system of county states, with a total of 21 counties and 7 kingdoms. The central government's jurisdiction over the kingdom is extremely limited, and there have been rebellions in the kingdom, but all of them have been strictly suppressed by the central government. And if this war does not go well, the situation in the whole country will be very serious, and the ambitions of the kingdoms will inevitably not be exposed. And even if it goes well, the losses of the central government after the war will inevitably be very serious, and the control over the local areas will be weakened.
Therefore, each elder should earn as much power as possible for his own group and reduce losses.
Finally, after all the elders' faces were red-faced, and the great spirit of Houhei Xue was exerted, they all sat back in their chairs with satisfaction, drinking water to calm their restless mood. It is clear that the desired benefits have been obtained.
So the Queen of Tianshui announced the decision: to appoint the sword elders to form a wartime general staff to be in charge of all military affairs in wartime. The country was divided into five theaters, and each county was granted a certain right to increase troops and train troops, which were managed by the highest governor of the county. Granted the right to expand Nanhai County, Qionghai County and Xihai County. Just in case......
With the announcement of Queen Tianshui's decision, Yu Wenhua became more and more frightened, this is simply splitting the country! The power of each county is too great, the right to increase troops, the right to expand, the right to transfer troops, and the right to collect taxes......
Crazy! Crazy! Yu Wenhua looked at the other Scepter Elders in a daze, their faces were also full of doubts, they didn't understand the purpose of this decision, but they were all silent. And the Queen of Tianshui and the three elders all looked calm.
Alas, Yu Wenhua not only sighed lightly, their scepter elders' rights were too low, and they couldn't participate in the affairs of the country that were too secret, they were just a group of counselors who gave advice, and there was no conflict of interests at all.
Soon, Queen Tianshui finished announcing her decision and left Shuihua Palace. All the elders also scattered, and the entire Shuihua Palace suddenly fell silent. Yu Wenhua was the last to walk out of Shuihua Palace, and at this time it was already sunset, and the golden afterglow smeared the entire palace complex with a tragic dusk.
Yu Wenhua looked at the sky, faint stars had already appeared in the vast sky, and the night was coming.
"Elder Yuwen!" an old voice sounded from behind him, and Yu Wenhua turned to look at the ruling elder of the three elders.
"I don't know what happened to Elder Gongsun?" Yu Wenhua looked at this white-haired man, but he was full of majesty, and his every move revealed the majesty of the superior.
Yu Wenhua couldn't understand the purpose of this person above 10,000 people in the Tianshui Empire, and couldn't help asking.
"I don't have a problem with something, and I ask Elder Yuwen to solve my doubts!" said the graceful and luxurious old man who looked directly into Yu Wenhua's eyes.
"O... I don't know what Elder Gongsun is puzzled about?" Yu Wenhua looked at the ruling elder's eyes like an abyss, still not understanding his purpose, and didn't know what kind of purpose was under these eyes.
"Didn't Elder Yuwen know about the 'Fire and Water Love' back then?"
Finally, the purpose was exposed, and this time the temptation was about the royal family**, the love of water and fire - the love between the Queen of Tianshui and the genius of the Yanhuo Empire ten years ago.
"Don't you know the consequences of your alliance with the Dark Empire that you have so obviously suggested today?" Before Yu Wenhua could answer, the ruling elder suddenly became stern.
"These things Weichen knows, although it will make the saint unhappy, but Weichen must be loyal to the country, and must state the pros and cons. So Weichen must do it!" Yu Wenhua said perfunctorily in official words.
"Alas, you're still too young!" Seeing Yu Wenhua answer him like this, the ruling elder suddenly said slowly: "I have been friends with your father for many years! I tell you as your elder that you must be patient in the officialdom in the future, and don't touch Your Majesty's backlash casually, otherwise your future will be ruined." ”
After that, he left to talk to Yu Wenhua, who stood there and looked at the ruling elder, very puzzled in his heart, not knowing what he meant, although it sounded like it was about today's conversation, but it seemed to warn him about the future. Yu Wenhua glanced back at the palace complex, which was already hidden in the darkness, as if some tide was about to stir.
