Endless Silver Machine

How to get the Senate to stop the exploration of relics outside the country, Lan Ming has been troubled by this problem.

If clear regulations are laid out, valid reasons can be used to persuade.

But now that there are no explicit regulations, a condition that cannot be refuted is needed.

Many people believe that the exploration of ruins can find new energy and other elements that are beneficial to national development.

Although in the grand scheme of things, it is the right thing to say to stop touching areas where you don't belong, it is an act that deliberately hinders development for your own country.

After Lan Ming obtained the information from Feili, he immediately confirmed the authenticity of the information to Junius.

——Such remarks cannot pass the resolution of the Senate, and even if we object, it will be of no avail.

The "right" side of the Senate could not fully grasp the movements of the "left". After investigation, there were indeed records of ocean fleets going to sea, but because the scale was small, it had not attracted their attention before.

"In the past few days, the Holy See and our investigation into the northwest area of ​​the imperial capital did not yield any real results. They are indeed hiding very deeply."

Because they suspected that the underground factories in the northwest district of the imperial capital were manufacturing large-scale military magic machinery, the Senate and the Holy See conducted a cooperative investigation, but the results were meaningless.

Although I can understand in my heart, I can't prosecute the crime without definite evidence.

Now that he has the evidence, but is hesitant because of public opinion, Lan Ming faces endless difficulties.

"Your Excellency Junius, is there really nothing we can do?"

The formulation of new prohibitions requires the resolution of the Senate. The management of part of the army is in the hands of the royal family and the "left" of the Senate. The "right" of the Senate is mainly responsible for managing finance and diplomacy.

Even if Lan Ming transferred back the ocean fleet from the expedition, it would only be a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. As long as the cancer still exists, it will divide and increase in value countless times.

"The people cannot be involved in this kind of thing, and the aristocratic power they belong to is also a check and balance. It is indeed a very difficult condition..."

The "leftists" in the Senate can arbitrarily mobilize the maritime fleet under their management as long as they use the excuse of national development. This is a secret practice.

The ocean fleet that needs to be recalled for the expedition needs to pass a resolution of the Senate. This is done in the open.

Lan Ming's current mentality is very unstable. Although she is strong and does not show it, the excessive pressure makes her have thoughts that she should not have.

Wouldn't it be much easier if they used their own ocean fleet to defeat the ocean fleet that obeyed them, or directly asked the mysterious ocean fleet to do such a thing?

When this thought came to his mind, Lan Ming suddenly felt a sense of fear.

It's the fear of being so powerless that you have the same thoughts as your "enemy."

"your Highness?"

"I'm fine..." Lan Ming lowered his eyes and shook his head, "I'm a little tired today, please let me think about it after I go back..."

If she continued the discussion, she would really be crushed by the irreversible fact, so she stood up tiredly and announced the end of the small meeting.

"Your Highness, if the 'Qianze' family and the 'Heinz' family..."

"I will not take advantage of their power."

"This is not use." The kind Junius also stood up with Lan Ming and looked at her listlessly with concern. "Although in terms of personal relationships, your idea is commendable. But in terms of politics, I mean, you're too stubborn."

In the Bisi Empire, apart from the royal family, only Junius would say such offensive words to Lan Ming, but Lan Ming was very grateful for such offensive words.

If you are surrounded by people who are flattering you, you will lose sight of the right path.

That’s why authentic voices are so valuable.

…………

Charlotte was also in the room to observe the small meeting between Lan Ming and the "right" Senate.

On the way back to the castle, she tried to convey her thoughts to Lan Ming.

Because there were so many uncertainties, Charlotte herself hesitated as to whether this suggestion was appropriate for the situation.

But the suggestion she hesitated to speak out was put into action by Lan Ming.

…………

"What does it mean?"

In the senate meeting that followed, Augustus received two letters that cannot be ignored.

The sealing wax indicates that these two thin letters are from the Holy See and Frost Moon Academy respectively.

"As stated in the letter. If the exploration of unowned ruins continues, Frost Moon Academy may take measures depending on the situation; while the Holy See will stop providing assistance for the exploration of all ruins."

Junius had already accepted the request and repeated it to the three senators sitting on the left, and then observed the changes in their expressions with eyes that showed no emotion.

This news is not trivial. Although all the nobles and national representatives in the conference hall have been surprised by the current scope of overseas exploration, the "coercion" of the Holy See and Frost Moon Academy has given them a huge impact.

Even the nobles who stood on the "left" side began to waver. If the obstacles they faced were the Holy See and Frost Moon Academy, they would have to weigh the weight of both sides with the scale of value in their hearts.

"Your Excellency Aemilius, Your Excellency Marcus, and Your Excellency Scolus, what are you going to do?"

"...Is it your fault?"

"Even if we have this idea, the Holy See has no responsibility to listen to our ideas, let alone Frost Moon Academy."

Junius sneered at Aemilius's sophistry, which should not have been a scene in a Senate meeting.

But now is a good opportunity to attract those wavering hearts, so everyone must be convinced psychologically.

At this time, a loud sound came from the stands, attracting everyone's attention.

The long swaying purple hair and the graceful and gorgeous dress are exactly Lan Ming's formal dress in public.

"Everyone, now is the critical moment to invest all resources in the construction of the Bis Empire. While we are developing rapidly, other countries and races in the continent are developing at a rate that is almost the same as ours... "

That is a unique position for the royal family. Now only Lan Ming Yiala and Philip Yiala attended the meeting. Philip Yiala closed one eye and looked at Lan Ming jokingly from the high platform opposite. He did not seem to have Intention to speak.

The "left" side of the Senate did not expect that Lan Ming would use this method to win people's hearts at this meeting. If it had been expected, Zi Ming Yiela would have been invited to the scene even in a wheelchair.

Under the current situation, the Senate had no power to interrupt her speech before she finished her speech.

Lan Ming's clear voice echoed throughout the hall, talking about national development issues and mainland contracts. The words that originally hindered the development of the empire became evidence that she held tightly in her hands under the influence of letters sent from the Holy See and Shimozuki Academy.

After finishing speaking, Lan Ming bowed slightly under the gaze of thousands of nobles and national representatives.

The three elders sitting on the right took the lead in applauding, and the applause instantly spread throughout the audience like a tide.

Philip Yiela, who was sitting in the stands opposite, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and Lan Ming responded with a smile.

Following the general trend, the "left" faction in the Senate had no choice but to cooperate and applaud Lan Ming unwillingly.

…………

The first action Aemilius made when he returned to the room in the mansion was to sweep the vase on the table to the ground with his wave of his hand.

The crisp cracking sound echoed in the room, and something in his heart was broken when his plan was shattered.

"Your Excellency Aemilius, please be careful and don't be rude..."

Marcus, who followed him into the room, warned the excited Aemilius in a suppressed voice.

In addition to the ocean fleet directly under the royal family and some nobles, he is responsible for managing all other ocean fleets under the Bis Empire.

It was his mistake not to completely erase the record but leave evidence this time, and he could not hold his head high in front of Aemilius.

"Your Excellency Aemilius, if you continue to allow Princess Lan Ming Yiela to develop like this, it will definitely become the biggest obstacle in the future."

"I know...I know it without you having to say it, Lord Scaulus."

Water from a broken vase in the corner stained the carpet a dark brown.

After venting like this, Aemilius returned to his original atmosphere.

He looked dazed, but a sharp light flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes.
