Star Sea Hunter

Tianhua Starfield, Emperor Palace.

"...Your Majesty, Sha Yuan, Bai Huang, Jing Wei and other governors of the six provinces are vacant, so I have the courage to recommend to you a few talents with outstanding abilities and loyalty to the empire. What do you think?"

"..."

Below the jade steps, a middle-aged man in a gold robe with a square and majestic face, deep eyes, and a slightly thin body bowed slightly, speaking respectfully and authentically.

Feng Lanxi was half leaning on the sleeping couch, with her head down, and she was gently teasing the eldest son of the emperor in her arms. When she heard the other party's words, she responded indiscriminately, not sure, and not sure.

Seeing that she didn't make a statement, the man plucked up his courage and said:

"I heard...the construction of the new waterway from Zhiyuan Province to the Imperial Capital is about to start? Uh... Several big companies in the family will also participate in the project bidding at that time. I wonder if the queen can take care of her family? As long as you get this This contract will greatly increase the income of the family in the next few years, which will be beneficial to the family and you..."

"..."

Feng Lanxi still didn't make a sound.

The man pursed his lips and said again: "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Yun Qixuan, the eldest daughter of the emperor, has not yet been betrothed. Well, this... your nephews are naturally intelligent and have outstanding personalities. I wonder if you can let them meet?" On the one hand, if you can make Her Royal Highness take a fancy to someone, make a decision as soon as possible, and when they reach adulthood, you can..."

A look of displeasure flashed across the queen's pretty jade face, she raised her head and glanced at him, and said lightly:

"His Royal Highness's arrangement is good, but I don't know if other wealthy families in the imperial capital will tolerate your appetite!"

The man was a little unhappy and said:

"Queen, isn't it all for you and His Royal Highness that I have worked so hard to plan? As the eldest son of His Majesty, Yun Ke will definitely inherit the throne in the future! But His Majesty has more and more heirs, and the power of the mother clan behind him They are all very important, if we don’t start to manage carefully and accumulate strength from now on, how can we have enough capital to cope with their competition in the future?”

Feng Lanxi finally got a little annoyed: "Father, when the water is full, it will overflow, and if the moon is full, it will lose money! Isn't the Feng family's status in the imperial capital not high enough? Do you have to fight for power endlessly like this? Aren't you afraid of making too many enemies?" , will bring disaster to the family one day?"

She stood up gracefully, handed the eldest son of the emperor to the female officer beside her, and continued:

"Don't think that this Palace doesn't know what you're up to! Your Majesty is leading an expedition to the Northwest Xinghai, and most of the domestic affairs have no time to intervene, so you just want to take advantage of this opportunity to get more benefits for the family! But you don't even think about it, There are so many aristocratic and powerful families in this imperial capital, no matter which patriarch is an easy-going lamp! Do you think they will let you reach out everywhere without asking?"

"But you are now the Queen of the Jian Kingdom. When His Majesty is away, don't you have the final say on everything in this country?" The middle-aged man said unconvinced.

This is the biological father of the current Queen Feng Lanxi: Feng Dehong.The new first-class duke of the empire.He purposely entered the palace to meet his daughter this time in order to seek more benefits for the family.

Now that Yun Haoyu is not in the imperial capital, and all domestic affairs are decided by the Queen Jian Guo, he will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity!Anyway, His Majesty is extremely fond of his daughter, even if he does something a little out of line, there shouldn't be any major problems!As the empress's natal family, of course she should have the power and influence commensurate with her status!

Although the relationship between Feng Lanxi and the family has never been very good, but now that the eldest son of the emperor has been born, for the sake of his future, she should no longer care about the past festivals, and thus adopt a more rational and pragmatic attitude to deal with the relationship between herself and the family !After all, if the eldest son of the emperor wants to be in power in the future, he can't do it without the strong support from the mother clan!

Therefore, as long as the queen is a little sensible, she should start taking care of her natal family from now on, and find ways to strengthen her position and influence in all areas of the empire!Therefore, it is completely reasonable for him to make these demands this time!

Feng Lanxi said indifferently: "If you want the positions of six provincial governors at once, they are all rich and prosperous lands! Father, you seem to have forgotten that even His Majesty's biological grandfather, Prince Yun Tianque, never Open your mouth like a lion like you! He only dares to ask for one or two places each time, and it depends on whether His Majesty is happy or not!"

"The plan for the new waterway is indeed under review, but it is one of the strategic routes connecting the imperial capital to the provinces in southern Xinjiang. It must be built according to the highest standards, and the total cost is nearly a trillion source crystals! If I remember correctly, the companies you mentioned have been established for less than a year, right? The registered capital is less than 50 billion Yuanjing, not to mention the relevant talent pool! You have enough technology Is it necessary to use the talent pool and economic strength to complete such a large strategic project?"

"This..." The Patriarch of the Feng family blushed and said without confidence:

"As long as I can get this order, I will naturally be able to get enough loans. There is also the problem of manpower, just spend a little more money to recruit! Otherwise, I will subcontract, anyway, the family will not suffer! "

After all, this guy is playing the idea of ​​"empty glove white wolf"!As long as the project is completed, he will not worry about making money. As for the quality of the project in the future, he doesn't care at all!He is the queen's father, who in this empire would dare to trouble him?

Feng Lanxi's pretty face was tense, and she said coldly: "Impossible! This is one of the most important engineering plans of the empire. As long as I am still in this position, I will never let go!"

"There is also the lifelong matter of the eldest daughter of the emperor. His Majesty has personally promised that she will be in charge! So I can't help you, so you should die!"

The Duke finally got a little angry, and raised his voice: "Queen, don't forget that you are also a member of the family, and you have the blood of the family in your body. This is a fact that can't be changed no matter what! Doing it for your father, isn't it all For the family, for the future of the eldest son of the emperor?"

Feng Lanxi sneered and said: "It's just nice to say! Who can you hide what you have in mind? Father, Your Majesty is not an ordinary person today. Are you still unwilling to give up? Last time You have forgotten all about the catastrophe of the great cleansing of the imperial capital so quickly? Are you not worried that you will become the second Xiao family?"

"Now I don't owe the family anything, so I won't seek any benefits for your family, so you should die!"

"Palace guard, send His Highness the Duke out!"

A group of heavily armed female guards walked in and "invited" the Patriarch of the Feng family, who was pale with anger, out!

Seeing her gloomy expression, the purple-clothed female officer standing beside her couldn't help but persuade her:

"Your Majesty, the Duke's words are not completely unreasonable. Even if you don't consider this reason, he is still your biological father after all. Doing this...would make him unable to step down!"

Feng Lanxi sighed, and said helplessly: "Of course I know, but his appetite is too big! Last time I asked for two governor positions, it was considered an exception, this time I actually made progress, if I am satisfied He doesn't know what kind of excessive demands he will make next time, does he really think that with a daughter who is a queen, this empire will become his family's world?"

"The Xiao family was exterminated, wasn't it because they didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, stretched their hands too far, and even conspired against them, which caused great disaster? By doing this, he is pushing the family into the fire pit! If I don't warn him , he still can’t remember who he is!”

"Wen Lu, you have been with me for so many years, and you have watched our Majesty step by step to the current peak, and you will not fail to understand his temperament. I am doing this to save the family from disasters!"

Wen Lu smiled wryly and said: "The heads of these wealthy families are intriguing and scheming every day, just to improve the status and influence of the family! If you have the conditions, you have to do it, if you don't have the conditions, you have to create the conditions! Finally, one of them will become the queen." His daughter, how can he not think about it?"

"So, after His Majesty comes back this time, I have to find a way to let him find an opportunity to beat some people who don't know their importance!" The queen gritted her teeth.

Wen Lu couldn't help being startled, and said in astonishment: "But the future of His Royal Highness still needs to be considered! If they are severely punished, wouldn't it be..."

Of course Feng Lanxi understood what she meant, but she had her own opinion in her heart, and she didn't think she had considered this matter improperly.In any case, His Majesty's trust and favor are the most important, otherwise everything would be impossible to talk about!

Absolute trust needs long-term hard work to gradually accumulate, but as long as there is a little carelessness, one thing will wipe out all the previous efforts, so she will never make the mistake of not worth the candle!

……

"Finally able to go home!"

Looking at the bright and boundless sea of ​​stars above his head, Yun Haoyu said with some emotion.

The main control room of the Yuangu mothership, His Majesty's palace has been relocated here, and is now undergoing final handover and deliberation on various matters before the return journey.

After much consideration, Yun Haoyu decided to let Hou Yufeng stay to guard this newly harvested land, and at the same time left behind a death starship and six main legions to monitor and take care of the remaining Bojiang tribe.The rest of the legion will return to the court with him!

"Your Majesty has made many personal expeditions, and the wind, frost, snow and rain all the way, and now the merits and virtues have finally come to a successful conclusion. It is really gratifying!" The pretty and picturesque Murentia snuggled up to him obediently, and said softly:

"I don't know where the empire's soldiers will point next?"

Yun Haoyu gently rubbed her plump buttocks with her hand, and said with a calm smile, "I won't consider this for now, there are still a lot of things to be resolved in the country! Of course, you have made a contribution this time, and I will never forget it." of!"

Rui Yaqin on the side stared at Patriarch Yanwei's actions complicatedly, her eyes flickering.
