Chapter 1566 Eyes and Ears
After that, Veronica discussed some more important matters with the courtiers, including rebuilding the shrine of Isha, reformulating the army establishment and administrative structure, etc. Although Soshyan always said nothing He didn't say it, but his presence holding the Yang Yan Sword represented a certain attitude, which made Lugnat's courtiers restrain themselves a lot.
When designing the army, Patricia proposed dividing the army into four parts, namely the militia to maintain order, the Queen's Guard to protect the royal court, the expeditionary force to conduct large-scale operations, and the escort of envoys and A task force supporting distant compatriots.
In order to take care of the emotions of the Craft World, Veronica approved this plan, but at the end of the meeting she suddenly announced that the task force would be named the Hand of Isa, and the Royal Court’s expeditionary force would be called Become the Phoenix Army, commanded by the Phoenix King himself!
At first this decision was opposed by almost all the Ark courtiers, but when Doral moved out the "ancient system", all the Adas were dumbfounded - because according to the laws of the ancient empire, the Phoenix King did He is the supreme commander of all official armed forces in the empire, except for the Queen's Guard.
Unless these Ark Ada denies the legitimacy of Soshyan, the Phoenix King, this is equivalent to denying the sanctity of the Sun Flame Sword, and furthermore, denying the divinity of Asuryan. This is something no one dares to say. thing.
Soshyan did not express any opinions throughout the whole process. In fact, he didn't really want to be the commander of a bunch of aliens, but after all, it was Veronica's public decision, and he didn't want to embarrass his wife.
Although the matter was settled in this way, Soshyan knew very well that the Adas would not willingly hand over military power to themselves, and there would be all kinds of overt and covert struggles.
But he and Veronica obviously have no intention of playing political games with these people, so choosing an agent is very important.
Currently, the only choice is Doral.
Soshiyang thought about what Professor Veronica had taught him about the aristocratic bureaucracy of the Ancient Spirit Empire. Generally speaking, the ruling class of the old empire was a binary system. The Queen and the Phoenix King each had a complete system. The Queen That side is mainly composed of female relatives, while the Phoenix King's side is composed of various staff, such as "cup bearer", "spear bearer", "bow bearer", "chariot driver", "spiritual reckoner" ", "Golden Feather Messenger", etc. all correspond to the composition of nobles in different positions in the administrative system. The two systems are interchangeable, so there is often competition.
And now Veronica obviously has no relatives, so Soshyan has to form a staff system.
Generally speaking, the cup bearer and the golden feather messenger are the most important in the system. The former has a status similar to that of a prime minister. He is the chief administrative staff of the Phoenix King and is often awarded the title of first minister of the empire. The latter is the Phoenix King's eyes and ears, in charge of internal intelligence work, and assumes the responsibility of the secret police, responsible for clearing up political conspiracies against the Phoenix King, and getting rid of some "troublesome elements" when necessary.
Now Soshiyang is considering whether to grant the position of Doral Cup Holder or Golden Feather Messenger. Although both of them seem to be empty titles now, they can make his political status comparable to The Lord Privy Seal is on an equal footing, because in principle the Lord Privy Seal is the chief administrative minister of the Eternal Queen. But according to Veronica, most of the authority of the Lord Privy Seal comes from the prestige and connections of the ancient family. Only this position It is difficult to control the overall situation with a title.
And as Patricia is a prophet, Soshyan feels that there is a high probability that she will not be able to compete with Doral politically.
So he made up his mind and used his power as the Phoenix King for the first time to publicly appoint Doral as the Golden Feather Messenger in the royal court.
This caught the Ark Spirits off guard, and they had no way to deal with it, because this was a staff position of the Phoenix King, and outsiders could not interfere at all. They could only watch Doral take action from Soshyang. After receiving this position - Soshyan touched his shoulder three times with the Yang Yan Sword, which was considered a formal appointment.
It stands to reason that after the appointment, Soshiyang would have to give the other party a golden feather cloak, but now he does not have this thing, so he can only wait until it is finished and then send it to him.
As for whether Doral will become the dominant player in the royal court in the future, Soshyan feels that at least as long as the premise of Lugnat Ark’s absolute population dominance is not broken, there is no need to worry about this matter. , he and Veronica still have time to make other arrangements.
Although it was a Caotai team, the entire court meeting lasted for more than six hours, and the framework of the three-level parliament was basically determined. The Ivy Council, the Spirit Tree Council and the Phoenix Grand Council will be built in the new city. held separately later.
Lugnat Ark has obtained most of the political resources they want, and Soshyan and Veronica have also obtained what they need. There may be more intense games in this royal court in the future, but as long as Veronica Ka was able to capture the army, and Soshyan felt that everything was no problem. As for the bullshit parliament, if it disobeys, it will be dissolved directly and Veronica will be the dictatorship alone!
Of course, in fact, it was just a thought. Soshyan knew that Veronica did not have such thoughts and motivation. If she was allowed to be the dictatorship alone, the final burden would still fall on herself.
But he doesn’t have three heads and six arms, so it’s impossible for him to manage both here and the legion at the same time, so if the council is not going too far, it would be better to keep him.
After the court meeting, Veronica came to the crystal dome viewing platform of the Ark and gave a speech to the Ark and all the Eldar on the planet.
Soshiyang felt that the content of the speech was nothing special, and was generally about unity and revival. However, the appearance of the Eternal Queen still surprised many Eldar people, and they sang Eldar songs such as God Save the Queen.
After giving an inspiring speech, Veronica did not stay on the ark, but set off for the city being built, visited the former residents of Comoros in the camp, and asked Doral to choose A group of people used all the remaining soul stones she had.
It was already evening when everything was done. Veronica and Soshyan drove away all their entourage, leaving only the guards arranged by Doral to follow them at a distance. The two returned to the landing time place.
The two of them sat side by side on the boulder, watching the sunset slowly sinking into the sea in the distance. The sight of the sea and the sky was really refreshing.
Suddenly, Soshyan felt Veronica rest her head on his arm, so he stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms.
"Are you tired?"
"Well, a little."
Soshiyang smiled and stretched out his hand, smoothed the hair on her forehead and said:
"Is the life of a queen very different from what you imagined?"
"Not really, they are not one-tenth as difficult as Malus. It's just that it's boring and boring to stay there all the time. It’s all kinds of nonsense, and they have raised it to the level of art.”
"Haha, it's not the same here in the empire."
"In this regard, although the fortress is cold, everyone doesn't talk nonsense, and they do what they want to do immediately."
Soshyan stretched out his finger and gently scratched Veronica's nose, and said with a smile:
"Little fool, that is the army, how can this be compared."
