After passing through the beautiful scenery of the forest of the Forbidden Land, the train soon drove underground, through an underground tunnel, and entered the underground station of the imperial capital.

Because he was walking in a special underground passage, Lin Yuan did not feel the crowding and prosperity of the Imperial Capital Station.

After entering the city, Chu Tianxiao went straight to the palace without stopping, and on the way told Lin Yuan that the cabinet minister, the minister of military aircraft, and the minister of education were already waiting for him in the conference room of the palace.

Lin Yuan saw that he had such a positive attitude towards work, and he wanted to go to see the situation in the outer city of the imperial capital first, but now he could only give up.

The Imperial City is not an antique ancient building, but a very fashionable modern building, full of scientific and technological atmosphere.

When they came out of the elevator in the parking lot, they arrived at the door of the conference room, and they were greeted not by real people, but by robots with a high level of intelligence.

Lin Yuan was shocked by their very realistic appearance and wisdom level, if it weren't for the lack of life fluctuations, and the luster of his eyes was not as smart as that of a living person, he would have thought that this was a real human being.

Chu Tianyun suddenly whispered in Lin Yuan's ear: "Brother Huang may be questioned in a while, you have to find a way to help him break the siege, please......"

Lin Yuan hurriedly changed the topic and asked curiously, "How much does such an intelligent robot cost?" ”

Chu Tianyun could only reply: "It's not expensive, but it can't be manufactured in large quantities, because there is a shortage of several materials for making the main chip......

The inability to mass-produce robots is not because of the problem of technology, there are many technologies in the real world that have made breakthroughs, but because of the problem of raw materials, not to mention mass production, even the production of several units is a problem.

Chu Tianxiao added, "In the past hundred years, the expansion rate of the Forbidden Land has been getting faster and faster, and we have less and less land left to develop, where can we get so many rare resources to refine high-tech products such as chips......"

As they spoke, they entered the conference room, where there were more than a dozen people seated, and at first glance they were the descendants brought in by the three ministers.

Chu Tianxiao's face was gloomy, he informed the three of them that they were allowed to come alone, but they brought their entourage, which was simply a slap in the face of him, the emperor.

Lin Yuan looked at the three people who controlled the supreme power of the Chu Yue Empire, their eyes just swept contemptuously on his face, and then looked at Chu Tianxiao, and the respectful expressions on the surface flashed with a provocative light.

Cabinet Ministers, of course, are the supreme chief executives, elected by the Cabinet, and then appointed by His Majesty the Emperor before they can ascend to the throne.

The Minister of Military Aircraft, in charge of military affairs, controls military power, this position is held by the royal family, and the Minister of Military Affairs in front of him is the thirteenth brother of Chu Tianxiao's father, and he is the most outstanding general of the Chu Yue Empire in the past hundred years, so he is very arrogant.

The Minister of Education is not only in charge of education, but the ideology of the entire empire is under his control, including the doctrines and dogmas of the Church, which need to be reviewed by them before they can preach.

Perhaps because of the weakness of the empire, this article is now in vain, and the three major churches do not need to look at the royal family's face at all if they want to teach any doctrine.

Others say that it was because the Secretary of State had made some shady deal with the Church that they were so indulgent in what the Three Churches had done, and that the Three Churches were above the Empire.

There are all kinds of legends, but legends are just legends after all, and everything is subject to official information.

However, it is undeniable that the Academic Affairs Office is the only institution that can be on an equal footing with the Church, and even the military aircraft feel inferior in front of the Church.

In short, relations within the empire are deformed.

It has been said that the legislative, executive and judicial bodies are the highest authorities of a state or organization.

But in the eyes of those who are truly in power, it is the executive power, the military power, and the ideology that holds the supreme power.

Chu Tianxiao sat on the main seat and said with a gloomy face: "This is a top-secret meeting, I, King Zhennan, Lin Gongzi, and the three Aiqing will stay, and the rest will withdraw as soon as possible." ”

Chu Shaoqing, Minister of Military Aircraft, waved his hand and said with a nonchalant expression: "They are all the most loyal subordinates of the ministers, and Your Majesty has no need to release them." ”

In the past, these words could have made Chu Tianxiao cut him more than a dozen times.

Chu Tianyun suppressed his anger and said: "Uncle Huang, you are disrespecting the decree, as an imperial uncle, is it appropriate for you to do this?" ”

Chu Shaoqing smiled indifferently, and said, "It's not that you can define whether it's suitable or not." ”

The Minister of Education was late, a gray-haired, but energetic old man looked at Lin Yuan with a mocking expression and asked, "Who is this?" What qualifications does he have to enter the palace? ”

As he spoke, he got up and saluted Chu Tianxiao, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how can you be in the company of such people in the market, where is the royal dignity?" Your Majesty should be far from the villain......"

Yi Yu said a lot of things, and Lin Yuan couldn't help but yawn.

Chu Tianxiao was also very bored, but Yi Kuchi was the emperor's master and the most learned elder in the empire, so he had to be patient and make a posture of a good student listening to the teachings.

"Absolute actor!"

Lin Yuan looked at the expressions of the two brothers, Chu Tianxiao and Chu Tianyun, and silently praised them in his heart, and expressed his sympathy for their plight.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to stay away from the petty people, focus on the governance of the empire, and don't live up to the expectations of the ancestors......"

An hour later, Chu Shaoqing took advantage of the moment when Yi Ku Chi's mouth was dry and he wanted to drink tea, and hurriedly continued.

Yi Kuchi is a generation older than him, and he was also a student of Yi Kuchi, so he didn't dare to do anything disrespectful in front of Yi Kuchi.

The two of them sang and sang so disgusting that Lin Yuan didn't bother to look at them, and his gaze moved to the face of Cabinet Minister Jiang Shangcheng.

This is a gray-haired, a little over sixty years old, upright, upright, should be standing on Chu Tianxiao's side, he wants to see how he solves problems for his boss.

Chu Shaoqing said a lot, and seeing that Chu Tianxiao didn't pay attention to him, he said angrily: "Your Majesty, let's hurry up and get down to business, there is still a lot of work in the Military Aircraft Department, and I don't have time to drink tea and chat here." ”

At this time, Jiang Shangcheng spoke, and he said with a sincere face: "Uncle Huang is indeed entangled in affairs, and he is tired ...... hard work."

Jiang Shangcheng said a lot of words that were smooth and smooth, and his expression was sincere, as if he was telling a story of deeds that he had seen with his own eyes and moved the world.

Chu Shaoqing was a little confused, he and Jiang Shangcheng had always been at odds with each other, and they teased each other as soon as they met, and at this time, the latter praised him so seriously, which made him a little confused.

On the contrary, Yi Ku couldn't listen anymore, and said impatiently: "Jiang Shangcheng, how come you are also a high-ranking minister who has read poetry and books, can you have a face?" ”

Jiang Shangcheng was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Is it important if I want to be embarrassed in front of Uncle Huang's health?" If the prince becomes ill from hard work, it will be a catastrophe for the empire......"

Yi Kuchi interrupted: "In this case, in order to reduce Shaoqing's pressure, I suggest that the daily affairs office of the Military Aircraft Department be restored, and Tianyun will be in charge, otherwise he will be idle outside all day." ”

Jiang Shangcheng immediately raised his hand and said, "Second!" ”

"Seconded." Chu Tianyun hesitated for a moment, saw that Chu Shaoqing was about to speak, and hurriedly raised his hand, and finally did not forget to remind the people brought by the three ministers, "Since you are the loyal subordinates of the imperial uncle, you should share the worries of the imperial uncle." ”

Although those people didn't feel right, they all hurriedly raised their hands under Chu Tianyun's coercion.

Chu Tianxiao said at this time: "Since everyone agrees, then it's decided, second brother, you will go to work at the military aircraft tomorrow." I hope you will share more worries for Uncle Thirteen, and don't let Uncle Thirteen work too hard......"

At this time, Yi Kuchi realized that his careless words had made Chu Shaoqing lose much power.

He looked at Chu Shaoqing apologetically, who glared at him fiercely, but he couldn't change anything. If he refuses this arrangement, it will be tantamount to breaking the rules of the Standing Committee.

In the future, if he needs to decide something through the meeting, he may be rebuked in the same way by others, and as such, or accept the result for the time being.

Even if Chu Tianyun went to the military aircraft department, he didn't give Chu Tianyun power, then he was just an ornament, and he was not so stupid to suffer unknowable losses for the sake of an ornamental item.

Some rules seem to be very weak and vulnerable, but they exist, and many people are abiding by them, this is the power of rules, and in the cultivation world, this is also called the power of laws.

The only thing they could hate was that these subordinates they brought were brought by Jiang Shangcheng and Chu Tianyun, who in turn gave them several critical blows.

Lin Yuan could see that Chu Shaoqing wanted to gain more power, of course, more of his power would only be counted if he sat on the dragon chair.

And Jiang Shangcheng has the heart of reform, but he can't implement it, the reason is that the two mountains of Chu Shaoqing and Yi Kuchi are in front of him, and he and Chu Shaoqing and Yi Kuchi don't deal with each other, so he wants to weaken the power of the two of them.

However, how loyal he was to Chu Tianxiao, Lin Yuan couldn't make a conclusion for a while.

Yi Kuchi is a rigid old pedant, and his purpose is to maintain the status quo, to maintain stability, and to anything that plunges the empire into turmoil.

This may be one of the reasons why he is willing to cooperate with the church, because Lin Yuan heard Shan Xin say that the greatest pressure the church gives to the empire is to overthrow the imperial power and replace it with the Divine Fist......

Yi Kuchi wants to take advantage of the contradictions between the churches to make them fight each other to the death, and consume their vitality. The empire can recuperate, or last......

In short, in his eyes, as long as he does not change the status quo and let the empire survive, it is the greatest merit for him.

After understanding the general situation of the three of them, Lin Yuan closed his eyes and thought about how to deal with them.

Lin Yuan didn't think it was difficult to fool them, but the difficult thing was that they had to be willing to swallow their breath for at least a year, and let Chu Tianxiao cook the raw rice into rice, so that it would be possible to buy them enough time.

But in doing so, he puts himself in a dangerous situation, and those with vested interests will definitely take their anger out on him, and of course he doesn't care. But he cares about the people around him.

The purpose of cultivators' cultivation is to make themselves strong, but they can't even protect their relatives and friends, so what is the use of cultivation? It's better to die early and be reincarnated!

He must take precautions and make all kinds of deserved, and he cannot regret it for the rest of his life because of a small omission. Lin Xue's matter is still lingering on him, and such a thing must not happen again.

"You all go out, you are not fit here for what Your Majesty wants to talk about!"

Chu Shaoqing looked at the panicked expressions of those people under him, and he was inevitably a little disappointed, but he could think about it, after all, it was inevitable for them to face the emperor for the first time.

Let them continue to stay, he is afraid that they will be led to another rhythm, that is, to shoot themselves in the foot, this battle has already been unfavorable, and if he does not clear the uncertainties, he may lose all his money......
