Chapter 299 Confrontation in the Legislative Court
Chapter 299 Confrontation in the Legislative Yuan
Why is the old emperor just trying to scare people?
Yang Ming rushed to the palace module and found the building where the old emperor was currently. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "I know how to play."
The main hall was decorated in the style of a nightclub, a popular entertainment venue in the Emperor Star Circle. It was equipped with a dance floor, booths, and boxes. You could see hotly dressed beauties dancing to the music everywhere.
When Yang Ming arrived, the old emperor was sitting at the bar, smiling as he watched the 'bartender' playing with bottles.
There were several middle-aged men sitting on the left and right, seeming to be talking to the emperor, who nodded slightly.
The place looked chaotic, but the emperor's personal maids changed into waiters' clothes and formed three or four faint security circles.
Yang Ming stood by the dance floor and waited for a while.
The eyes indicate that they are now very moist.
'Made, the emperor of the empire can play like this for a hundred years.'
Yang Ming couldn't understand what the old emperor wanted to say.
Yang Ming thought for a while, then got up and went to the dance floor.
In this case, the emperor did have plenty of entertainment time.
Emperor Star time, ten o'clock in the morning.
The elder almost choked on the smoke and raised his head to glare at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was silent.
What does the Presbytery want to do?
As time passed by, the election progress was progressing smoothly, and the vote counting phase soon began.
"The Great Elder wants to talk to you," the woman said softly, "I'm right next to you. I'll spare you a few minutes."
Yang Ming used his own network access terminal to issue a full alert order to the surface security station, and piercing sirens sounded on the streets of major cities on the surface.
"Of course, I am still a member of the Super Modifiers organization."
"Viscount Hamton!"
…
He saw the familiar elevator lady again in the ascending elevator. After taking a seat on the sofa, he raised his hand and waved.
The girl's body trembled slightly, her pretty face was bloodless, she nodded quickly, turned around and walked back to the elevator door, her breathing a little uneven.
Yang Ming thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Is this an order from His Majesty?"
"He is extremely wise, and because of his decision, the Sherman family has dominated the galaxy for tens of thousands of years."
Eighteen votes, less than one-twentieth of the total votes.
Yang Ming felt somewhat unsure of his heart, but he still sat beside the emperor calmly, and the old emperor raised his hand to hold his shoulders.
"Great," the old emperor clicked his tongue, raised his glass to the side, "It's just a few of them, remember their faces, don't make a mistake tomorrow."
The great elder's expression was very calm;
Yang Ming looked around and took note of the faces of the young elders of the presbytery.
The corner of Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly, he slowly stood up, picked up the communicator, and whispered:
"Every team."
"But Great Elder, I have no objection to the Council of Elders itself. I just followed His Majesty's order to thoroughly investigate the murder of Prince Venos.
"Does the harm refer to the damage to the interests of the Presbytery, or to the restriction of the freedom of the great nobles?"
Snapped!
The communicator was smashed into pieces by Yang Ming, and the fragments flew into the self-priming trash can nearby.
The maid said: "They are two gifts given to you by His Majesty tonight. They are the granddaughter and grandniece of Prince Venos. They are of royal blood. It is rare that one of them is still in love. If you want to gain His Majesty's complete trust, bring them with you."
If they go to the box next to them, they won't resist."
Yang Ming looked up at the center of the venue, where the great elder was looking at him with a smile.
The Great Elder was sucking on something similar to a hookah, and without looking directly at Yang Ming, he just said: "The Elder's Court is not kind to you, Hanton."
"I see."
Yang Ming's communicator suddenly vibrated continuously.
Yang Ming was the last one to get out of the car, raised his hand to straighten his collar, and scanned various areas with his eyes.
"Well, thank you."
Next to the great elder's lounge is the venue for today's internal election, and Yang Ming is too lazy to make more rounds.
The members of the task force were still blocked from the door. They only waited for Yang Ming to give the order before rushing in to arrest people.
Last night in the palace, the young elders who were received by the old emperor in a night party seemed to be missing one. There were a total of twelve seats for candidates, and now there were eleven seats.
The maid nodded understandingly, bowed slightly to Yang Ming, and then strolled away.
Yang Ming took out two banknotes from his sleeves, threw them into the girl's hands, and said calmly: "Don't take random photos of things near the palace in the future. Go back and stand."
He signaled the members of the task force to wait outside, followed the woman and walked about a hundred meters horizontally, entering the legislative building through the small door on the side.
There is a saying that the old emperor's dancing posture is no different from that of a baboon rubbing against a tree.
"Thank you, Great Elder, for reminding me."
"No need," Yang Ming glanced at the hourglass clock hanging on the wall, "The election meeting will start soon. If the Great Elder has anything to do with me, why don't you explain it simply and clearly."
It was almost as soon as Yang Ming left.
"Come," the old emperor greeted.
Yang Ming closed the communicator.
"Viscount Hanton," the elder said again, "If you insist on thinking so, I can also tell you that the murderer is not in this building."
"No, I'm just curious, so I came here to ask," the maid pointed to the sofa in the corner.
"I actually know that today's operation will definitely not go smoothly, and I can probably guess that the Presbytery is preparing to start a counterattack.
A row of floating police cars appeared on the edge of the square in front of the court. The doors opened, and hundreds of members of the police station's Prince Murder Task Force, dressed in police uniforms, rushed toward the Legislative Court.
Yang Ming opened the door and took a look at the interior layout. Although he could see at a glance that there were many secret doors here, and there were higher bioenergy reactions behind those secret doors, Yang Ming didn't pay much attention and stepped inside.
Yang Ming turned around, made a military salute, and then walked away.
The old emperor sighed softly: "Do you think that the emperor can cover the sky with one hand and do whatever he wants? When the empire was first established, it was true that my ancestor Levi Sherman had all the power of life and death, but he did something in his old age
He made a decision to dismember this imperial power. He said that only in this way can this political system exist for a long time."
"I can give you a heads up. The murderer may be hiding in this building right now."
"Recently, I researched the thirteen ancestors who were called tyrants in our family history, and found...their actions were similar to mine, intimidating the nobles and interfering in the legislative seats of the Presbytery.
Just as Yang Ming was wondering whether he should violate his principle of "being single-minded in love," a maid of the emperor who was responsible for delivering orders walked up to Yang Ming on high heels and said softly: "Why don't you go and relax with His Majesty?
?”
Yang Ming did not answer.
Buzz, buzz!
This is the counterattack of the Presbytery.
A guard at the door raised his hand and rubbed his neck, and the chip under the skin behind his ear shimmered slightly;
In the corner of the room, the beautiful woman who brought Yang Ming over crossed her arms and gently touched her elbows.
The great elder was sitting on the sofa puffing away smoke. A woman was kneeling beside him, squeezing the calf of the great elder to relax his muscles and activate his blood circulation.
"Viscount Hanton," one of the senators asked warmly, his voice clearly reaching every corner of the Legislative Chamber through the loudspeaker, "do you have any objection to the current election results when you suddenly stood up?"
Everywhere in the circular venue fell into a deathly silence, with each noble elder remaining silent in their respective positions.
"Those thirteen ancestors all completed the centralization of power during their lifetime, but after their death, the aristocracy restored the ancient system again, because the emperor who had just ascended the throne was not intimidating enough, and they would even control the selection of the new emperor."
Several senators showed gentle smiles.
When the votes for the candidates selected by the first emperor appeared, the last trace of smile on Yang Ming's face quietly faded, and the young elder whose name was read also looked stunned.
As soon as Yang Ming got through, he heard an old police officer shouting:
Just as Yang Ming was about to arrive at the door, a middle-aged woman wearing a loose white robe, but it was still clear that she had a wealthy heart, came quickly on high heels.
Could it be that I drank some wine and started to feel about life.
The Great Elder said slowly: "The giant dragon with powerful power is bound into the cave, so that this land can enjoy peace. Before the earth is threatened, any act of awakening the giant dragon or helping the giant dragon to be unbound will be harmful to the world."
The betrayal of countless lives on earth.”
Thousands of members of the public security station who came to support from behind were already nervously holding laser guns.
The Council of Elders presided over government affairs, and the Imperial Military Department controlled military power. The two reported directly to the emperor, and they also controlled each other.
Yang Ming said calmly with a smile:
The stone door was closed by the guard outside.
Yang Ming felt a little angry when he thought about it.
The votes of the twelve people were released one after another, and the three elders originally appointed by the Presbytery won with an absolute advantage and officially entered the Legislative Yuan.
As expected, a group of guards appeared in front of the Legislative Yuan and stopped the task force.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Great Elder, can you not use metaphors?"
"It's already been arranged," Yang Ming said, "I will lead the Public Security Bureau's task force to wait outside. If the result is different from what you expected, then correct the result."
The woman's statement that she only delayed him for a few minutes was obviously a lie.
The elders' eyes were a little more contemptuous.
The young elders were quickly pulled onto the dance floor by the girls, and the scene gradually began to develop in a direction that the TV station was not allowed to broadcast.
Yang Ming:……
Yang Ming asked: "Your Majesty, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to give orders directly to the Council of Elders?"
There are three main buildings here - the Noble Assembly Center, which is similar to the ancient Roman arena on Earth, the Legislative Chamber, which is shaped like an ancient temple, and the Elders Privy Council, where elders discuss matters on weekdays.
Inside the Legislative Yuan.
The Elder's House building complex is located in the middle and east of the first floor of the Emperor Star, occupying the entire module area.
Various departments that maintain the normal operation of the empire, such as national defense, diplomacy, education, industry, information, justice, finance, civil affairs, resources, etc., are directly connected with the Privy Council, and major matters are reported to His Majesty the Emperor by the Council of Elders.
In front of the huge stone pillars of the Legislative Yuan, the elders who participated in today's internal election meeting and the nobles who came to listen were slowly walking through the security gate.
Emperor Star time, at 10:30 in the morning, the entrance and exit of the venue were closed, the audience was asked to remain solemn, and the boring voting ceremony officially began under the auspices of the great elder.
"Don't be nervous," Yang Ming smiled, "Give me your communicator."
The great elder's gaze was a little menacing.
It took them nearly ten minutes to turn left and right, go up and down the elevator, and reach the great elder's lounge!
The woman knocked on the door gently, and after receiving a response, she pushed the stone door open, which was unknown for many years, and said softly: "Please."
"Earl of Ent, Elder of the Presbytery!"
"Even now, I don't need to think too much about what I should do next. I just need to read the history books and that's enough to make a plan.
"no."
Yang Ming nodded slightly.
Although it's a bit unpleasant to be taken advantage of by these girls, it's better than getting into trouble with the old emperor.
The old emperor didn't talk much about politics, and soon went to the dance floor to hang out.
Yang Ming said goodbye with a smile and turned to leave.
Yang Ming nodded, took the crystal glass given by the bartender, looked at the bit of wine at the bottom of the glass, and couldn't help but cursed in his heart for being stingy.
The bad premonition in Yang Ming's heart became stronger and stronger.
"Ah, I have no objection. It's just that my butt is itchy. I need to stand up and move around."
"It has nothing to do with whether she understands it or not," Yang Ming asked, "Does your Majesty have any instructions?"
Although the imperial hero in front of me is very handsome and has a great figure, but... it's not impossible...
"If you have any opinions to express, every noble can speak freely in the Elders' House. This is a free forum open to the imperial nobles."
There is an honorary earl named 'Ent' who is late.
Yang Ming couldn't figure out the old emperor's attitude towards the founding emperor, so he didn't brag about it at this time. He could only say: "Maybe there is some truth to it."
Yang Ming's heart skipped a beat and he immediately asked: "Who is the deceased?"
"Forget it," Yang Ming curled his lips slightly, "I have always stayed away from aristocratic girls. I also don't like girls who have had a relationship with me. They will degrade themselves in the future."
"Hanton, you clearly know what you are doing now and how harmful it will be."
"Mr. Ghost," the maid called softly, "Your Majesty, please come over."
"Another case! The murder method was exactly the same as the murder of Prince Venos. More than a dozen guards were knocked unconscious, and the deceased died in his bedroom. The makeup and clothing of the deceased were the same as Prince Venos! He was also wearing the same clothes.
Skirt! That gang is still committing crimes!"
Outside the Legislative Yuan, hundreds of police officers from the special task force immediately cheered up.
Yang Ming looked along her fingertips and saw two girls with delicate faces and good figures. They were wearing backless dresses. Their eyes were red at the moment and they were a little distracted.
The girl suddenly became a little nervous, fearing that Yang Ming, who smelled of alcohol, would do something extraordinary to her. Many of her colleagues had been molested by the noble masters, and some were even taken back to the noble manors.
"Do you know what you are doing?" the great elder asked with a frown.
The old emperor smiled and said: "Have the internal elections of the Presbyterian Church been arranged tomorrow?"
"Girlfriend?" the maid smiled, "Given the current situation, your girlfriend can also understand your working environment."
The old emperor clicked his tongue softly:
The venue quickly filled up, and Yang Ming soon noticed something unusual.
There were constantly beautiful girls trying to strike up a conversation with Yang Ming, but Yang Ming always refused with a smile and did not talk to these emperor's private properties.
"Well," Yang Ming withdrew his gaze, walked slowly behind the old emperor, bowed slightly and saluted, "Your Majesty, you are looking for me."
The girl didn't know why, so she quickly handed over her communicator, and inexplicably began to fantasize about some boss plot like "This is my contact information".
"No," Yang Ming smiled, "My girlfriend is still waiting for me in the dormitory."
"These are the rules of the game," the old emperor smiled. "You don't quite understand the role of the Council of Elders. It is the incarnation of the will of the aristocracy, and it is also a restrictive force on me. I can give them orders, and they can also pass the Imperial Noble Code.
,Refuse my direct order."
"Hello."
"Viscount Hamton, sit down."
He walked straight into the venue, in front of a group of old men and women, walked from the rostrum to the auditorium, sat in the last row of the auditorium, crossed his legs, and brushed the Emperor Star message with his head down.
It was already late at night when Yang Ming left the palace.
The old emperor changed the subject: "So, Hanton, don't worry about this country. I can do whatever I want. Everything will be corrected after my death. The system established by our ancestor Levi has a complete error correction and feedback mechanism. Tomorrow
Let go of your hands and feet and let those old men feel the power of the white ghost."
The maid smiled and said: "Your girlfriend should be able to understand your difficulties, Mr. Ghost."
"Hmm? We know each other?"
Yang Ming adjusted the intercom channel calmly, and his voice spread throughout the legislative chamber through the spatial fixed-point amplification equipment:
"Each team enters the Legislative Yuan and takes away the previously identified suspects. If anyone obstructs the handling of the case, they will be arrested and detained for a few days as obstructing the handling of the case."
After saying that, Yang Ming took out the Emperor Star badge from his pocket and put it on his chest.
There were dense footsteps from behind, and young people in public security uniforms poured into the Legislative Yuan and headed straight for the three newly elected elders.
The faces of the elders in the inner circle were all green with anger.
