Chapter 708: Resting with the Country (First Update)

Xia Chu saw that he had returned to Beichen Star with the remaining soldiers.

Along the way, her adjutant asked uneasily: "Your Highness Qisha, do you feel comfortable letting officers from the four great dukes carry out counter-insurgency tasks?"

"Aren't you afraid that they will take the opportunity to rebel?"

Xia Chujian said calmly: "Do you know why I let them kill Nance, Wenren and the Zollen family?"

"The first is to frighten their Duke family itself. If they have other intentions, this will be their fate."

"The second is to let those who slipped through the net allocate half of their hatred to these four great dukes."

"Thirdly, if the heads of the four great dukes know that I am doing this, they will be completely tied to death on the Beichen Empire's chariot."

Xia Chujian finally said: "This is also a good education for the families of the four great dukes."

"Let them understand what it means to live with the country."

Xia Chujian knew that the Beichen Empire was growing bigger and bigger, and the Tantai royal family alone could no longer effectively manage the entire country.

Therefore, it is necessary to elevate the four Dukes to the position of "masters".

By this time, Xia Chujian felt that the imperial system was no longer suitable for this rapidly developing empire.

When Xia Chujian returned to Beichen Star with his army, the officers of Su family, Quan family, Zong family and Li family sent back the news respectively.

In addition to the three largest habitable planets, Southern Cross, Dazang and Baimu, the other fifty-four small rebel planets have all been recovered.

All the families that provoked the rebellion were wiped out.

New managers and garrisons also arrived respectively to establish a new political order.

The lives of ordinary people recovered as quickly as possible.

Xia Chujian, who returned to the imperial palace of Beichen Star, still sat on the highest throne.

At this moment, she was the regent, but also the supreme ruler of the empire.

But a woman wearing the uniform of a palace clerk stood up and said calmly: "Your Majesty the Regent, you are the Regent, not the Emperor. Please leave His Majesty's throne."

Then, she glanced into the hall and said, "Fellow cabinet members and military representatives, what do you think?"

Unexpectedly, these people's heads could not be lowered, and they did not accept her words at all.

The woman was a little anxious and couldn't help but ask again: "Don't you think the regent is sitting where she shouldn't be?"

Still no one answered.

Xia Chujian smiled slightly and said, "Who are you? Why do you say I shouldn't sit in this position?"

The woman turned around, looked at Xia Chujian, and said bravely: "I am the secretary of His Highness Po Jun."

"You are only the Regent, not His Majesty the Emperor, so you cannot sit on His Majesty's throne."

Xia Chu became interested and said deliberately: "Really? Who set these rules?"

"Is there any law that says this is a seat only the emperor can sit on?"

The woman opened her eyes wide and said in surprise: "Does this still require law?!"

"This is your Majesty's empire! Your Majesty's palace! Of course it is also your Majesty's throne!"

Xia Chujian said: "How did your Majesty get the empire? How did you get the palace? How did you get the throne? Do you know?"

The woman immediately said: "Of course I know! It was our founding emperor Tantai Lin who was so powerful! He was a genius! He conquered this country!"

"That's why we have this empire! This palace! And this throne!"

Xia Chujian nodded and said calmly: "You are right, it was the founding emperor Tantai Lin who conquered the country, built the palace, and placed the throne."

"Then let Tantai Lin come out!"

"According to you, only Tantai Lin is qualified to sit in this position!"

The woman was dumbfounded by Xia Chujian. After a while, she said: "...His Majesty Tantai Lin's heir is also qualified!"

Xia Chujian sneered: "First of all, only those who have conquered the country are qualified to sit in this position."

"Then he said that the heirs of those who conquered the country are qualified to sit."

"So what you're saying is that only you can decide who is qualified to sit in this position?!"

The woman hurriedly waved her hands: "Your Highness the Regent, that's not what I meant... I..."

She still wanted to explain, but Xia Chujian had already picked up a gun, pointed it at her, and said, "This is a meeting of the country's cabinet members. You are just a chamberlain and have no qualifications to stand in this hall."

"If you leave now, I won't shoot you."

The woman's face suddenly turned pale, her lips were pressed together, and she wanted to speak, but she didn't dare anymore. She bowed her knees and bowed, and walked away dejectedly.

After she left, Xia Chujian sat on the high platform, looked at the cabinet members and military representatives in the hall, and said slowly: "Everyone, there is something I want to discuss with you."

The people below quickly raised their heads and looked at Xia Chujian who was on the throne on the high platform.

Xia Chujian glanced at them again and said, "Go and call everyone from the Senate."

"This matter must be proposed by me, the regent, and the cabinet, military and senate must jointly commit to endorse it."

When she said this, how dare the people below not listen?

Soon, a total of two to three hundred people from the upper and lower chambers of the Senate came in.

Fortunately, the main hall is spacious, and a thousand people can still stand there.

Xia Chujian solemnly announced: "Because of the sudden disappearance of His Majesty the Emperor in the Beichen Empire, the three princes, in order to ascend to power, assassinated and coerced their own brothers, which had a devastating impact on the operation of the entire country."

"The three major families of Nance, Wenren and Zoron took the opportunity to rebel, split the star and seal the country, and almost succeeded."

"The ripple effect of their rebellion was bloodshed on half the habitable planets of the Empire."

"The great national destiny of our Beichen Empire was almost ruined!"

"Past experience guide for the future."

"For the long-term stability of the country, this imperial political system needs to be changed."

After Xia Chujian finished speaking, everyone below was stunned.

Everyone looked at her dumbfounded, and seemed to be thinking in their hearts, are we going to see the birth of a new political power in our lifetime? !

The position of regent is originally one that can be advanced or retreated.

No wonder she wanted to call everyone from the Senate!

You must know that the current Senate is all controlled by the nobles of the past...

The nobles are bound to the royal family of the Beichen Empire.

Could it be that Qisha, this killer, wants to wipe out all the current nobles in one fell swoop! ?

Wouldn't that mean a new noble is about to be born? !

Those cabinet members and military representatives who were not nobles cheered up.

The people in the Senate all looked sad, and they dared not say anything when they saw Xia Chu.

Because of this embryo-killing thing, she is really killing people!

But Xia Chu changed the topic and said, "I suggest that the Beichen Empire change its political system from a complete imperial system to a constitutional monarchy."

"Half of the emperor's power is transferred to the cabinet, senate and military."

"Abolish the system of wives and concubines. From top to bottom, including the emperor, there can only be one husband and one wife."

"Men and women have the same right to inherit. The order of succession to the royal family will be jointly decided by the Senate, the Cabinet, the Military and the Emperor in the future. It is a legally binding order of succession."

"After the order of succession is determined, the order of succession will be based on the order of succession."

"The specific regulations are jointly formulated by the Cabinet, the Military Ministry and the Senate."

"The appointment of nobles still belongs to the exclusive power of the imperial power, and this will not be shaken."

After Xia Chujian said the last words, the senate members who had been sullen completely breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that we are not going to attack their nobles!

Those cabinet members and military representatives whose hopes of becoming knighted were not particularly disappointed.

Because they found that following the regent's suggestion, their power was expanded to the point where they could compete with the imperial power!

This is what they yearn for more than a small baronetcy.

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but talk to each other and discuss this "constitutional monarchy".

I've never heard it before, but it sounds very pleasant to my ears.

While everyone was discussing, Xia Chujian came to the palace where Po Jun was.

It is said to be the palace where the Prince of the East Palace resides.

Xia Chujian moved forward, and no one dared to stop her.

But at the door of Pojun's dormitory, the secretary who she had kicked out just now was blocking the door.

"Your Highness the Regent, His Highness Po Jun is still resting. Why don't you go back first? When His Highness Po Jun wakes up, I will send someone to inform you."

The woman stood at the door with a smile and said neither humble nor haughty.

Xia Chujian thought to herself, what kind of green onion are you?

Does your Highness Pojun know that he is acting like a monster like this?

Xia Chujian looked at her and suddenly said loudly: "Po Jun! Are you in there? Your secretary said you are resting and I can't come in to see you."

The secretary looked at Xia Chujian with dumbfounded eyes. He never expected that His Highness the Regent would be so shameless!

She became angry and said: "His Royal Highness the Regent, shouting loudly at the door of His Royal Highness Pojun's palace, how unbecoming it is!"

Po Jun heard Xia Chujian's voice inside and was surprised. He quickly raised his voice and said, "Please come in, Your Highness the Regent. I'm waiting for her."

Xia Chujian raised his eyebrows and said to the female secretary: "You still dare to pretend to pass the edict? Who gave you the courage?"

She turned around and said to her subordinate: "This person is acting against the will and the purpose of being a secretary. Kick her out and never hire her."

The woman panicked and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Your Highness the Regent! I am here for His Highness Po Jun! I wholeheartedly do it for His Highness Po Jun! I didn't mean to offend you!"

"Just spare me!"

Xia Chujian said calmly: "You can lie to your face, or is it because of His Highness Po Jun?"

The door of Pojun's dormitory opened, and he stood at the door, frowning and saying, "What His Royal Highness the Regent said is what I meant. Drive her away."

When the woman saw what Po Jun said, she collapsed on the ground and was dragged out.

Xia Chujian walked into Po Jun's bedroom and said, "Has your poison been cured?"

Po Jun nodded: "Thank you for the fresh blood unicorn you sent me. I'm fine now."

Xia Chujian said: "That's good. I'm here to tell you two things."

Po Jun smiled and said, "I also want to tell you something, but you say it first."

Xia Chujian said: "Just now in the main hall, I suggested that the Beichen Empire be changed to a constitutional monarchy."

"Half of the emperor's power is transferred to the cabinet, military and senate."

"The order of succession to the throne is also jointly decided by the cabinet, military ministry, Senate and the emperor."

"You wouldn't disagree, would you?"

Po Jun held a square box in his hand, which was also fifteen centimeters square. He looked at her gently and said, "Of course I won't disagree."

"That's fine. This country is getting bigger and bigger. It's unreasonable to have everything tied to one person."

This is the first update, the second update will be at 1pm.
