Chapter 269 Changes in the sky
Today is the last meeting of the Capital Star Council before the year-end celebration.
After each cabinet department makes a performance report, the Speaker of Parliament will report to the King on the national situation in the past year and the overall plan for the next year.
The Marshal will review the work of the previous year's parliament and offer encouragement and hope.
In the past, this was a time for ministers to display their talents and boast of their best achievements, and it was also an opportunity for Chris to show off to the old emperor.
But this year, it was so bad that the meeting couldn't even be held.
Most of the members of parliament were meeting in prison, and the few who remained were not in important positions.
The old face stationed at the main seat in the parliament disappeared, replaced by a young face.
The meeting was chaired by the Finance Minister, Ole Jr., who was once not favored by everyone.
At that time, people were still laughing at him for not being able to stay in this position for long, but they did not expect that today there is no one more qualified than him to stand in the position of Speaker.
The first step, the performance reports of each ministry, was simply cancelled. The Speaker of Parliament was not able to summarize the national situation to the King.
So today's opening is the national situation report from the Second Prince Marshal.
The empire has changed, it has really changed.
The parliament ceased to exist and was reorganized into the Executive Yuan, which was responsible for the overall administrative affairs of the empire.
The first Prime Minister, Ole, was also the Minister of Finance.
The existing civil servants in various departments will remain in their current status, and vacancies will be filled within one month after the New Year through government assessments and appointments approved by the emperor.
Everyone knew that this was an important move by the royal family to reshuffle the parliament and completely control the executive power.
The major families have controlled the country's administrative and financial power for too many years by controlling the appointment of personnel in various departments.
The Chris family has held the position of Speaker for five generations, otherwise why would they confront the emperor and attempt to control the dethronement and enthronement of the heir to the throne?
Although the Chen family has controlled medical and health care for only a little over 200 years, their medical industry has an intricate relationship with the government. It is no longer a simple matter of money-making and corruption, but can affect the people's livelihood throughout the empire.
The empire not only had to eliminate the aristocracy, but also had to change the existing system.
Whether it is the territory or the government position, he can only sleep peacefully if it is firmly in the hands of the emperor.
Tianjiu, who was curled up on the sofa watching the live broadcast, felt helpless. The royal power was so great, who could limit the imperial power?
The empire really went from the big pit of feudalism to another big pit of absolute monarchy.
"The new world is actually the Yuan family's new world."
Tianjiu couldn't help but express his inner feelings.
Not far away, the marshal sitting at his desk was busy with something, seemingly drawing a picture. Hearing Tianjiu say this, he didn't look up but replied.
"Xiaojiu is right. You are also a member of the Yuan family."
"Humph! Didn't you say your last name is Shen, Shen Yan? You are a member of my Shen family."
Yuan Xu couldn't help but look up and smile: "Of course this is also possible. I don't mind marrying into the family."
"How can I marry into your family? There are no more nobles left."
While Tianjiu was chatting with the marshal, the second prince was announcing the new royal decree.
"...Anyone guilty of treason will be sentenced to death. If you have any titles, your entire clan will be stripped of their titles and their territory will be reclaimed.
From now on, the titles of existing nobles will remain unchanged, and except for the revocation of ownership of territory stars, they will continue to enjoy other rights.
The specific list is as follows and can be found on the entire Internet. "
The entire galaxy sighed with emotion. This day had finally arrived.
Philip also asked the emperor in a closed-door meeting how much time they would be given.
Haha, my absolute strength tells him that I won’t keep him for even a day.
From then on, the nobility remained nobility, but they were large families with some money and privileges.
The emperor could allow them to have some money, but he would never allow them to have their own territory and army.
"Sir, the Shen family is not guilty of treason! Did you do it?"
Tianjiu has reason to believe that the Shen family was definitely involved in the Chen family's conspiracy back then.
But at this moment, the Shen family was only charged with dereliction of duty, her second uncle was only dismissed from his post, and the boy from the Lei family was acquitted.
And Jiudie was also commended for his contribution in the final battle against Anton!
"This is too obvious. Is this the capital of in-laws?"
Even Tianjiu himself thought it was an exaggeration.
Looking at old Chris's family, it's really sad.
The old emperor gave Chris a way out, charged him with violating laws and regulations, and corruption, and sent him into exile.
However, his family members were completely dismissed, and no one could participate in government selection within five generations unless they obtained special permission from the emperor.
This cuts off their path to a political career.
Yuan Xu changed a pen and continued drawing, saying lightly, "This is just the beginning." He gave Tianjiu a mysterious smile.
Li Nuo, who was serving with pen and ink, looked at the marshal's picture and felt that it was fortunate that the marshal gave the position to the second prince, otherwise he would have become a tyrant.
Tianjiu browsed through the fate of the big families he knew one by one.
Although Li Chenghao suffered injustice, it was the emperor who set him up, so he could not wash away this matter.
However, he made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion. In addition to military rewards, the marshal specially awarded him the title of baron to revive the Li family.
Within five months, the family tree was reopened. This was a major reversal that Starnet netizens had never expected.
Although the empire reduced the power of the feudal lords, it was not stingy with titles.
Anyway, this thing doesn't cost money. Without the territory star, there are almost no great privileges left. Instead, it just happens to be a reward for loyalty.
Tianjiu was delighted to see Lian Jingtian, Wu Ping and others there.
"Sir! From now on you can call me Lord Baron Lian Jingtian!"
"Small wine!"
Yuan Xu was so angry that he crushed the pen, and the ink spilled all over the table and his hands.
"Either you call me Ah Yan, or don't call anyone sir anymore!"
If this had happened in the past, Tianjiu would have been so scared that she would have shrunk her neck, automatically imagining that the pen was her little neck.
But she was different now. She was his treasure, and he would not touch her even if he crushed his own hands.
Thinking about how he couldn't bear it anymore last night and didn't break his promise to let her take the lead, Tianjiu knew that he really, really cherished her.
Tianjiu put down the dried fruits in his hand, climbed down from the sofa, and skipped to the desk.
Yuan Xu reacted quickly, snatched the map off the table, threw it to the ground, and stomped on it hard.
It's already dirty, I'll just repaint it later.
Unexpectedly, when I was still in my heart, I heard such sweet words:
"I know, I know, sir! You are the only sir, you are my only sir!"
Tianjiu was happy after she finished speaking, but she didn't expect that the marshal was hiding something from her!
She thought he was working, so she didn't bother to see what he was doing.
As a result, he was actually on guard against her!
Tianjiu propped her hands on the desk, narrowed her eyes and stared fiercely at the marshal: "Sir? My only lord, shouldn't you take the initiative?"
"Xiaojiu, whether I take the initiative or not is up to you."
Tianjiu couldn't help but think of her crazy behavior last night, and his face turned red.
"Sir! You've become a bad person now. Change the subject!"
The little hands clapped on the ground: "Tell me! What are you drawing?"
