Burning because of you [Interstellar]

The House of the Twilight Kingdom is located in District 200, not in the capital. It is a circular platform-shaped building. The walls that should have been blank are engraved with signatures in various colors/fonts, belonging to successive senators since its establishment 500 years ago.The internal structure of the meeting room is a plain multi-layer ring, which can accommodate [-] people as standard. The huge apron floating in the air and the special bulletproof passageway with complex light blue veins seem to cover the meeting room with a jewel cover. Much more conspicuous than the House itself.

The first to third districts are indirectly controlled by the royal family. The noble parents of each district can send representatives to attend the meeting, but except for the [-] districts that send representatives or connect to communication equipment for video chat, the first few districts are mostly attended by the parents themselves. traditions and habits.

Even the royal family is no exception to move a district.On the corridor separated by stone pillars, Eleus's long golden curly hair was pulled up high behind his head, coiled beautifully and firmly.She wears exquisite makeup, the sharp purple eyeshadow and deep inner eyeliner do not make her look mysterious and charming, but full of aggressiveness and wildness, the most of the whole face is shadow, which makes her already The serious face is even more cold and unkind. The makeup artist often marvels that she does not need to put on blush and lying silkworms to show her complexion and energy. She doesn't even use highlighter on the bridge of her nose. To praise her, she only needs to set off a pair of sea blue The eyes have the power to capture the mind and make people ignore other parts.

She was wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform with complex dark gold patterns, and she walked with her head held high and her steps neat.All over the body, except for the pattern, there is a high petal-shaped neckline that was originally designed for aesthetics, but it was cut off by Eleus with scissors in the designer's tears and wailing.

Luo gentlemanly opened the door of the chamber for Eleus, and Eleus walked in without looking sideways, and sat down in his own seat, while Luo sat beside her.

"It's the first time again. I gave up dessert because of you." Luo said, "I didn't even have time to make tea..."

The waiter turned on the spherical meeting recorder hanging in the center of the chamber. Eleus looked up, and the screens and light spots lit up, making her back straighter.

The general of the first district is a coordinating computer who records the entire meeting of the House of Representatives without expressing any opinions or experiences. It is rumored that all the data will be integrated and synchronized to the highest authority of the Star Federation—Moonlight.Moonlight and Tiannao are both computers, and it is said that they have the same function and have a different personality from Tiannao, but the data may not be synchronized with Tiannao, which has ruled the world for hundreds of years.The difference is that the moonlight has never woken up, while the heavenly brain has managed the entire earth since before the earth's twilight era.Moonlight is equivalent to a plan B, which is set to activate when the Tiannao crashes unexpectedly, and she will only wake up when the Tiannao crashes.

The Star Federation looks like a federation, but in the definition of Tiannao, it is "a supranational organization different from the federation".

"Because our dear Demon, we have something to say this time," Eleus said, "how to ensure the law and order in the chaos, as well as arrest the prisoners who escaped from the prison, and control the port, so that Demon and too many generals cannot come and go, and the throne must not be taken away by Tyron."

"My good student, except for the voting system, all you said is what Tyron should worry about. Oh, and when Tyron is done worrying, you have no chance to worry about the voting system." Luo said.

"..." Eleus let out a breath slowly, "I know."

Someone pushed the door open again, and Eleus smiled respectfully at him from the bottom of his heart after seeing the person coming.The person who came was thin and tall, with green shirt and cloth shoes, Zhao Qingyun, the general of the Zhao family of the second district, always as simple as a breeze, and the maids who followed him were separated from the door at this time, but another person followed, so that Eleus was slightly surprised and said that his eyes were opened.

Zhao Wanli if I remember correctly?He is a good friend of Demon, who guards Star Adam with Demon, and seems to have no intention of asking about things here.

Zhao Wanli's clothes were the same as his father's, except that they were a little greener, with a few bamboo leaves embroidered for decoration.

If he is the next head of the Zhao family, Eleus is not surprised by his clothes.

After Zhao Qingyun and Luo exchanged a few words about the tea, people gradually came together. Among the 500 people who needed to attend, about [-] came, and dozens of people participated indirectly through representatives or communication screens.

Regarding the matter of Demon, only a few noble parents actually made decisions. Eleus thought to himself, glanced at Tyron's position, and said to himself that it was indeed his subordinates holding the light screen.

Eleus presided over the council by default, and she was used to it, so she opened her mouth and said: "The most important thing to discuss in this meeting is how to deal with the eldest prince Demon O'Neill. The monster was created, everyone must know about it. But now, for the safety of the people, I need everyone to cooperate with me to catch him."

Eleus glanced at the position of the third district, and it was indeed a light screen, and the third district could not even attend.

If Demon seized power by force, Tyron would be the most likely to defeat him, which would be of no benefit to him.Therefore, he would rather weaken himself a little, give up the lost support of the three districts, let Demon see the advantages of the voting system, and not give up the winning rate to Tyron.

"I heard that Governor Vizek has applied for a starship," Eleus smiled, sacrificing the information he knew about Demon in District [-], "I'm afraid it won't work, we'd better focus on six, seven, and eight On the patrol in the district, drive Demon to the central area."

"Demon's unknown ability is very tricky. Bringing him to the central area will naturally destroy the core of the country's operation. Your Highness, please think twice." Colby said.

Eleus also had this concern, but he naturally chose the latter between giving the throne to Tai Lun or himself, and thought the former was obviously a disaster, "But the law and order in District [-] is not good at all, and no one is in charge of Demon. I'm afraid that it will go deeper and deeper there, he has supernatural powers, and his purpose is unknown, if he is united with the outside to oppress the center and drive him to the center, the internal and external guards can besiege him together."

"You mean, our three outer districts will join forces with Demon?" The light screen in the sixth district lit up, and a fat man with a full body appeared, "We won't."

The outer three districts are more unstable as they go outward, and they are still under development and construction, so it is really inconvenient to take the blame.

"Of course I don't mean loyal adults," I'm talking about you, Eleus slandered, and continued, "It's prisoners and organizations in an unstable environment. I'm afraid Demon will join forces with them."

Someone interrupted suddenly, and Eleus saw that it was a representative of a merchant, and he said impatiently, "I don't want to care about the eldest prince, anyway, he must be outnumbered. Open? Many exporters here have hoarded goods and cannot sell them, and they don’t have to pay taxes.”

A financial officer said: "Speaking of taxation, a large number of alphas who have not yet reached their age have been conscripted in the past two days, and the burden on the national treasury has increased."

Pure Saturn's military service is a kind of tax system, and the soldiers will be distributed to various countries through the Star Federation to form a part of the Star Federation, and the Star Federation will pay the Twilight Kingdom, and finally come back to become a labor force.If there is a sudden increase in the number of conscription, first the revenue of the national treasury will be reduced, and then the extra cost of raising soldiers will be paid.

The three-zone light screen lit up: "Demon's ability has been reported to the Star Federation, and Tiannao has directly intervened in this matter. However, the Twilight Kingdom changes ownership every seven or eight years on average, and Tiannao will not take care of it." .If Demon becomes the new king, the Star Federation has no right to use him to disrupt the balance. So why don’t we hand him over to the Star Federation instead of using our people to mobilize troops? Don’t you think we should first discuss choosing a new king? ?”

The wartime advisor who worked with the emperor back then, Luo smiled: "The emperor will have a look at the results of the meeting, and I won't forget to add your words."

"The throne is too far away, let's take our time." Zhao Qingyun said indifferently: "Mobilizing troops will only make the people more uneasy. Many people have already left their jobs and are ready to run away. You can stop being so impatient." He looked at Eleu Si, seems to have seen through her, "You can put aside the conflict of interests first, and stabilize the situation. Naturally, those who are stable are those who have vested interests."

Eleus quickly filtered and sorted everyone's information in his mind, and classified them into categories. Originally, these were not difficult to deal with, but as long as he impatiently considered driving Demon into the third district and hiding his purpose, he needed to Hesitating, momentarily lost in thought.

Tyron's light screen suddenly lit up, "Don't think about it, I gave Colby's starship."

Everyone looked up and saw that Colby and Tai Lun had always been intolerant. Hearing this, they felt that they had made a profit, but there was a new pit to jump into.If the starship was sent by Tyron, then I might be restrained by Tyron.

"The army still guards the port and does not move troops to prevent Demon from escaping. As long as he is on Pure Saturn, he will be caught by the Star Federation sooner or later." Tyron said, "Why rush to the center, he will naturally come to the center, okay? Eleus, are you stupid?"

Eleus' temples twitched.

Tai Lun continued: "As for joining forces with the organization, it's better to calm people's hearts as the Zhao family in the second district said. The anti-imperial organization has been making trouble for many years and has not seen any improvement. And taxation, are you willing to mention it? It's not bad to be self-sufficient if you don't rely on trade. , or like the Zhao family in the second district said, please calm people's hearts."

Zhao Qingyun smiled lightly.

Eleus pursed his lips. He was dissatisfied with Tai Lun both in public and in private, but he just stuck his nails into the tiger's mouth silently: "The second prince can avoid the important and say this lightly. It all depends on the military power. You have not considered the expansion of your army at all." State treasury?" Is there a relationship between districts that expand and contract with each other?But Eleus can't say this here, even if he doesn't mention it, everyone knows it well.

Tyron snorted: "I can solve all the problems at this stage except the treasury, are you jealous?"

That's because you hold more than half of the winning tickets and naturally have the confidence.And the national treasury's blame is on his own head.

But Eleus still couldn't say that, just like after many years, no matter how upset she was, she never scolded Tyron.

"We can also restore the economy first, so as to stabilize the people." Eleus changed the path, and said, "First withdraw the recently recruited soldiers, let the people realize that the turmoil has eased, and make them Have a sense of peace of mind. At the same time block information, let them work with peace of mind. This way the national treasury can be buffered. The port is also unblocked. The previous blockade was said to be pirates causing trouble-"

Tyron: "Then if Demon loses, he can run away, and all the resources spent on the way will be wasted. Eleus, Eleus, why don't you invite him back now and provide for him well?"

Just as Eleus was about to speak, Zhao Qingyun and the third district had already announced their consent.

The two lights turned on at the same time, and Eleus froze for a moment, knowing that it was too late.

She decided to continue struggling: "Finance Officer, our treasury recovery is not as fast as my method."

The financial officer also nodded, but said: "But this is just going back to the beginning, and there is already unnecessary consumption in the middle."

The Treasurer's lamp came on, too.

Then there are the six seven eight districts.

Eleus bit his lip, and the lights surrounding the entire conference room lit up one by one, confirming Tyron's decision.

But if Tai Lun becomes king... he can't become king.

Eleus again felt overwhelmingly defeated.

If you are a male alpha, or you are not on Pure Saturn, or you also hold military power——

……

"My old friend, don't come here without any problems, but unfortunately I can't attend, otherwise I will pat your stomach."

"Remember to ask the representative to bring you some wine next time, anything."

……

The discussion was almost over, and everyone in the meeting room started to move randomly. After someone took the lead, everyone gradually started to chat. Although no one left the meeting, Eleus already knew that there was nothing he could do, so he sat down awkwardly, feeling Every small talk is like a basin of cold water pouring on myself.

The overall situation has been settled, and the next discussion has nothing to do with the throne.She knew that the meeting was over.

The end of the meeting does not need to be deliberately announced and reminded.At the end of each meeting, there will be half an hour to an hour of idle chatting time, either to restore the rigid relationship between each other during the meeting just now, or to talk nonsense with old friends who have known each other for a long time. Talk about politics.And every time it enters this stage, it is very natural, and no one will rigidly announce the end of the meeting.When all issues are discussed and a result acceptable to everyone is reached, the atmosphere will be relaxed by everyone's emotional intelligence. In the end, everyone is busy, and there is no limit on whether to continue chatting. It is a kind of court etiquette in the Twilight Kingdom.

Luo patted her on the shoulder: "You worked very hard."

Eleus remained silent, his lips were about to bleed.

After the meeting.

"Just now at the meeting, I realized that you are not the Patriarch of the Zhao family?" Walking in the passage leading to the apron, Colby satirized Giovanni.

Giovanni smiled slightly, and calmly said in the old Zhao family's unique slow tone: "You have always been a person who only sees the result but ignores the process. This is not my deceit. I even said that I am not a general, but You have treated me like a general."

"Oh, so it seems that you accidentally put on the family clothes and came to my office to ask for a starship?"

"Or you could thank me for teaching you a lesson."

Colby shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't care too much. Anyway, Giovanni will be the head of the family for three years at the latest and five years at the latest, "Okay, the head of the Zhao family, as you saw today, Tyron and Eleus are just a few years away. Give me a spark that exploded in an instant, and our little Demon has to ask for a starship. Oh, I guess he can’t even call me by my full name, let alone other families. No soldiers and no power, how do you let him win? Help him for the rest of his life ?”

"Demon has his own ideas, and I am willing to help him. Moreover, if Demon talks like me," Zhao Wanli smiled, "I will feel sick."

Colby thought for a while, then grinned in disgust: "It's really disgusting."

Zhao Wanli: "..."
