Star Sea Hunter

Chapter 917 Cake of Power

While His Majesty the Emperor was exploring the ancient ruins, in the distant Tianhua Starfield, the remaining courtiers were also busy with the affairs of the empire.

The Imperial Legion has fought and won victoriously, conquered a large territory, hundreds of thousands of administrative planets, almost endless rare resources, and a large number of newly added important positions. How should this huge cake be divided? I have worked hard, and I will fight for a few more fat vacancies for my family and factions in the upcoming high-level meeting!

As night drew near, two bright moons slowly appeared on the sky of the fourth planet.

Yun Tianque finished his day's work, and accompanied by several attendants, he stepped out of the gate of the Noble House. A guard had already driven a luxurious heavy speed car with the family badge on.

He walked to the car door, but didn't rush in. Instead, he stared at the familiar colorful golden phoenix pattern on the door for a while, and let out an inaudible sigh from his throat.

This is the badge designed and confirmed by the first patriarch of the family. Since then, it has been the symbol of this aristocratic family and has been passed down for thousands of years without changing!It carries too much glory, dreams and hopes, as well as heavy responsibilities, blood and sufferings, witnessing the rise and fall of the whole family for thousands of years!

"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Seeing him in a daze, Yun Linjie in the speeding car poked her head out and asked with some doubts.

"Oh, it's okay!" Yun Tianque replied lightly, "I was thinking that maybe the design of this family crest should be revised."

"Revise?" Yun Linjie's expression became more and more confused, "Is this necessary? Then how do you plan to revise it?"

It is not uncommon for aristocratic families to change their family badges, but that is mostly limited to some nobles with ordinary strength, such as the Yun family. The status and symbolic meaning of the family badges are like the national emblem and flag of a big country. Once determined, it will not be changed easily without a very special reason!

Yun Tianque suddenly brought up such an idea, and even she didn't understand what her brother meant for a moment.

"It's nothing, I'm just talking casually!" The prince smiled, stepped onto the speeding car, and motioned for the guards to close the door.

"Your Highness, where do you plan to go next?" the maid came over to ask for instructions.

"Don't go anywhere, just go back home." He ordered.

A few seconds later, the speeding car flew into the air, and dozens of hovering chariots immediately followed closely around it, taking on the duty of guarding.

"You just came back from the palace, didn't you?" he asked.

Yun Linjie nodded: "The third princess, Yun Jiayi, will soon be born for a hundred days, and the palace is preparing for the celebration in a few days. I just sent some things over and chatted with Xin Yao for a while."

Seeing her brother's expression, she couldn't help asking: "Do you think there is hope for this child? After His Majesty returns to court this time, there should be a decision on this matter, right?"

Yun Tianque shook his head slightly: "There may be hope, but it is quite limited! Now His Majesty has three imperial daughters, and Concubine Feng is even pregnant with the eldest son of the emperor! It is not ordinary difficult for her to sit in that position! "

"..." Yun Linjie thought about it, and couldn't help but say angrily:

"But we can't just admit defeat like this, can we? Concubine Luo Gui is just a clone, Concubine Feng served the former emperor, how can these two be as noble as our family's Xin Yao?"

"Noble?" The prince sighed, "For His Majesty, this factor has never been in his consideration, right? I think we should probably settle for the second best and consider some more practical issues!"

Yun Linjie couldn't help being startled, and asked in disbelief: "Could it be that His Majesty has already made up his mind?"

"It should be counted!" Yun Tianque said, "Although there is no public announcement, basically there will be no more changes in this matter! Of course, we are not without any benefits. Just today, His Majesty has sent back an order from the front line , and approved the candidates I proposed for provincial governors."

"In this way, our Yun family's weight in the empire's power system has been strengthened, and it's not in vain for me to talk to Your Majesty for so long!"

When Yun Linjie heard this, her complexion became better, and then she said worriedly:

"However, the Empire Legion has recently conquered such a vast territory. It is said that there are only more than [-] star fields in the eastern Star Sea, and nearly [-] provinces will be re-planned. This is not counting the Miriam Empire that is about to be destroyed in the southern Star Sea. There are also Zhanying Wangting and other territories of several other alien races!"

"These places need to arrange enough reliable people to guard them. At that time, you can get more places, otherwise, with the few positions our family currently has, we still don't have enough right to speak in the imperial court! At least Also..."

"Don't panic, take it step by step!" Yun Tianque smiled, "This matter can't be too urgent, after a while, I'll go and talk to His Majesty, and recommend a few candidates for him, and then decide whether to continue working on the job according to the situation. Work hard on this!"

If you rashly make too many demands on His Majesty, you will only be regarded as dissatisfied and greedy. Even if you are really close to His Majesty, you will be disliked by him. Besides, the status of the Yun family is somewhat delicate, so Yun Tianque is very sensitive. Be patient, and handle these matters with discretion, so as not to be judged by Yun Haoyu as too ambitious and be suppressed by suspicion, even if the current empire is in a hurry and cannot find so many suitable candidates to serve as the head of the new territory. The big official of Fengjiang.

From the current point of view, although the emperor's attitude towards the Yun family is not very close, it is indeed much better than before. This is the result of Yun Tianque's careful management and ingenious maneuvers.

Especially in the last rebellion in the imperial capital, a group of big nobles headed by the Yun family chose to stand firmly on the side of the royalists.Although they lost a lot in the rebellion, they got more compensation afterwards and won Yun Haoyu's true trust, thus starting to give them more power!

The future is long, as long as you don't make mistakes in the years to come and continue to stand on the side of the royal family, it is not impossible for this family that has suffered a major blow to regain its vitality during the prince's lifetime.

"By the way, you said just now that you want to redesign the family crest!" Yun Linjie said curiously again, "How to do it, do you have an idea in your mind? This is not a trivial matter, how do you plan to convince those in the clan? Where's the elder?"

Yun Tianque said calmly: "It's not a redesign, it's just adding something to it, for example, the silver dragon pattern on the royal badge!"

"What... this..." She finally understood what her brother meant, and she was a little worried while being happy, and said uneasy:

"You mean, let His Majesty agree to restore the Yun family's royal status, but is it possible?"

Although Yun Tianyu is His Majesty's biological grandfather, Yun Haoyu has been refusing to admit this relationship due to past enmity, so the status of the Yun family in the empire is very embarrassing, even though many members of the family have already obtained official positions. The patriarch himself is also the only important official in the empire who has a prince, but if this key issue is not resolved, it will eventually make it difficult for the family elders to be completely at ease.

That's why the brothers and sisters of the Patriarch are planning to push Yun Xinyao to the position of the Patriarch in order to consolidate the family's status.Of course, their thoughts belonged to their thoughts, but their various efforts were carried out within the scope allowed by the rules, and they did not have any out-of-the-ordinary behavior, so Yun Haoyu just let it go.

"At present, there is a [-]% certainty," Yun Tianyu said slowly, "Of course, if we are willing to pay some price, then there is a [-]% certainty!"

Yun Linjie was surprised again: "What price is needed? Is there anything in the family that is so important that it can easily influence His Majesty's decision?"

"I don't need to talk about this for the time being, we will find out in the future." The prince smiled meaningfully and did not continue this topic.

……

Yun Tianyu's judgment was not wrong, and the lack of quota for dispatched officials had already attracted the attention of the imperial decision-makers.

The next day, in the imperial study room, the routine court meeting was held on time. The imperial concubine Zhong Yuying signed a stack of documents that had just been deliberated, and then handed them over to the female officer beside her.

"Is there anything else you need to discuss publicly, let's bring it up together now!" She scanned the group of officials under the jade steps and asked softly.

Song Guangyu said: "Your Highness, the candidates for the governors of the newly established provinces of the empire and the supporting administrative team members have not yet been fully prepared, and the governors of the lower-level star fields and the lists of officials in charge of each administrative planet are also the same. There is a big gap, how to solve it, please also come up with a charter, Your Highness!"

"This..." Zhong Yanying frowned slightly, and asked:

"Hasn't the new batch of imperial administrators been trained? Isn't it enough to add all of them? How many people are there in the gap?"

Song Guangyu smiled wryly and said, "Your Highness, since the Eastern Star Sea War ended, the empire has added more than [-] new star regions, and each star region must appoint a reliable person to serve as the governor, and be equipped with sufficient administrative personnel and defense forces! This has completely exceeded the capacity of the major administration schools in the empire! So...the minister is really difficult to deal with!"

Zhong Suying thought for a while and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions for this matter?"

The officials under the jade steps looked at each other with helpless expressions.

This can't be blamed for their lack of foresight, but because the expansion speed of the imperial war machine is too impressive!In just one year, the Gnasrock Empire was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the territory of the former Salestin Alliance and the former Republic of Suria were included in the empire's territory!

The human world is finally unified. This is a major event worthy of universal celebration, but as the decision-maker of the empire, there are naturally many things to worry about. I want these newly acquired lands to smoothly integrate into the empire's political system and truly become the territory of the empire. Part of the effort to spend is not 01:30 points!

If even the most basic feudal officials and supporting administrative management cannot be appointed in time, then absorbing and digesting these sites will become a castle in the air, and of course it is even more impossible to use this to greatly increase the strategic strength of the empire!

Now that these newly acquired territories are still under the military control of the Imperial Legion, there will be no problems for the time being, but this is obviously not a long-term solution, and a solution must be found as soon as possible.
