Assassin [ABO]

The guards at the entrance of the council hall chased them in with a look of panic on their faces, and stammered an explanation to Abigail: "His Royal Highness, Second Highness, he must come in..."

"Okay, you go down first." Abigail waved his hand.The guards withdrew as if meeting an amnesty, and closed the door by the way.

The second prince, Maynooth, walked slowly through the aisle between the parliamentary seats in the sudden silence of the parliamentary seat, and walked directly to the exclusive seat area for the royal family closest to Abigail and the Senate seat, and then put down his cloak and hood, revealing With wine-red half-length hair, he sat down in full view as if no one else was there.

"Oh? What are you all looking at?" Maynooth found that everyone was focusing on him, finally opened his mouth, and blinked innocently.

Of course I was looking at you... The Congressman slandered.

Duke Luodo, who had suffered a lot today, finally found an outlet at this moment, snorted coldly, and stood up with a sullen face.

"One prince disappeared for more than two years, and then came back without saying a word and could directly take over the military power and control military affairs. The other prince had no news for more than three years, but he could enter the parliament in such a defiant manner after he came back. Not at all. Your Highness Abigail, you Zetanon are too contemptuous of us old fellows! Do you think that such things as the parliament have long been useless?"

As the leader of the Progressive Party, the Duke of Rodo was born in a family that was at the level of the founding fathers. His influence in the parliament cannot be underestimated. Muzzle bump.At this time, Duke Luodo had the intention of expressing the elders' condemnation to the royal family, and the dozen or so elders present, no matter which party they belonged to, suddenly stood on the same front and looked at Abigail together.

Abigail frowned, and had no choice but to stand up and speak: "Maenus, do you owe us an explanation?"

"Oh? Sister, what do you mean?"

"Where have you been in the past three years? Many people think you are dead."

Maynooth scratched his chin, "Ah... You said this..." Then he glanced around coquettishly, with a cynical smile on his lips, "So everyone still cares about where I am going, I I thought it would be all right to bring the money.”

Abigail touched a soft nail, but she was not angry, and still stared at Maynooth with a serious expression, but many members of the councilors present looked unnatural. Nous died, and his property was collected into the treasury.

"Duke Luodo, why are you making such a fuss? There doesn't seem to be a rule in the laws of the empire that forbids the prince to go out? What's more, I have already announced that I have renounced the throne, and it is my personal freedom to attend the parliament or not. How can the royal family be involved?" Maynooth was still smiling, calm and unhurried, like a big fox leisurely wagging its tail, "As the leader of the Progressive Party, you are busy with every day, working hard for the empire, as a member of the royal family , I really admire you from the bottom of my heart. In order to show my respect for you and my support for the work of the Progressive Party, I am willing to donate a spar mine planet under my name as the fee for your party. How about it?"

A spar mine planet...

In the current situation where all industries are depressed and the currency is depreciating, the spar as a hard currency is a hot item whose price is rising every day!Just a few grams of spar can be exchanged for half a month's rations for a family of five, let alone a spar mine... a planet...

The eyes of the people present were straightened, and Duke Luodo even maintained the expression of righteous indignation a second ago, opening his mouth into a funny "O".

At any time, strong financial resources are the foundation of power and status, let alone in this war period?With money, factories can be built, weapons can be produced, technology can be developed, people can be recruited, industries can be revived, the strength of parties can be improved, and speeches in parliament can have weight.The Progressive Party has been declining since the fall of Kaiseren, and sufficient funds are even more important to them.

Shen Xiuyun watched coldly from the side, and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.He has now seen what it means to have money that can turn ghosts around.The appearance of all living beings in the council at this moment is really... very exciting.

"One, are you talking about a spar mine planet?" Howard, the Minister of Finance, couldn't even swallow his saliva.

Howard's talent is mediocre. The reason why he was able to take the position of Minister of Finance at such a young age is directly related to his Omega being Princess Ruth.Princess Ruth is one of the three princesses of the Interstellar Empire. She and Caesarron are brothers and sisters of the same mother. After the downfall of Caesarron, although her limelight is not as good as before, but because she is good at flattering, she will also please Abigail. With the favor of the eldest princess and Emperor Kemis, life is not bad, and Howard's position as Minister of Finance has also been preserved.

Maynooth winked at Howard, "Yes, Lord Howard."

With a spar mine planet in the lineup, Maynooth can sit comfortably in the parliament next, no one will hold on to his rude attitude, and when it comes to the denunciation of his mouth, he will turn around 180 degrees, and all It has become a compliment.You know, His Royal Highness Maynooth has always only recognized money but not people. He is not interested in politics and remains neutral. Therefore, neither the Progressive Party nor the Peace Party will sincerely make uncomfortable with him. After all, no one will be so stupid. Offend the God of Wealth.

The Progressive Party reaped a lot of money, and the congressmen became more excited, as if their blood had been pumped out, their eyes lit up, and they wanted to unbutton their collars and run out, stretch their necks and shout twice.They needed to vent, and this vent object undoubtedly returned to Shen Xiuyun.But just when they wanted to continue to fight back against Shen Xiuyun's "arrogant" request, His Highness Maynooth made another big move.

"Everyone, why can't you agree to General Shen Xiuyun's request? In my opinion, there is nothing excessive about it... This battle is going to deal with the mother body of the Zerg race. If you can't ensure that you are fully prepared, it may be a disaster, isn't it?" You want to watch the soldiers die?"

"Your Highness Maynooth, the current financial situation of the Empire is no longer sufficient to support the expenditure of the new Corps. It is a blessing to be able to rebuild the three original Corps." Howard, as the Minister of Finance of the Empire, just bought a spar The planet, naturally being extra hospitable to Maynooth, kindly explained.

"Huh? Is that so..." Maynous turned his head and glanced at Shen Xiuyun, pursed his mouth, as if thinking, "Didn't I donate a planet just now..."

"That is the money you donated to the Progressive Party, and General Shen Xiuyun and his army do not accept the management of the Progressive Party. Of course, if he is willing to accept the leadership of the Progressive Party, we will also consider giving him military expenses, but... Hehe..." Howard stopped talking at this point, everyone knows that the progressive party has always advocated the restriction of Omega rights, and some radicals represented by Caesarron even used extraordinary means to pass the bill legalizing the sale of Omega, Shen Xiuyun As General Omega, he would be happy to join the Progressive Party.

"Oh...that's how it is." Maynooth nodded seriously, and finally said something that shocked everyone: "Then let me entrust all the properties under my name to General Shen Xiuyun for management. During this period, as long as his army needs it, I, Maynooth, are willing to support him unconditionally."

Howard: "..."

The audience: "..."

Not to mention the other councilors present, even Lorgar, who had been silent all this time, had a look of surprise on his face.He knew that Maynooth would show up today, and he knew that he would be on his side, but he really couldn't think of any reason for Maynooth to do this.

Prince Dort, who had been gloomy and uncertain since Maynooth appeared, finally couldn't sit still, and said coolly: "His Royal Highness Maynooth, why do you help him like this? Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

In fact, the "he" mentioned by Dort here refers to Lorgar. Shen Xiuyun has always been classified as a Lorgar in the eyes of outsiders. Menus' support for Shen Xiuyun to take over the Glory Corps is essentially supporting Lorgar. Si pretended to be confused and deliberately misunderstood this "he" as Shen Xiuyun.

"Why do you want to help him? Isn't this for the sake of our empire? Who else is willing to lead troops back to the battlefield? Or, who else can lead troops to fight the senior generals of the Zerg and come back safely? Dort, are you here?" The church has been closed for too long, is there something wrong with your brain? Do you want to watch our compatriots being swallowed by bugs? Is there anything else to consider! Hey, the outside world is too complicated, maybe you can’t understand it, Otherwise, go back to church and be with God."

Maynooth was an atheist, and he looked down on Dot's sanctimonious appearance since he was a child, not to mention that he was his elder brother, and he was not polite at all.Dort was choked by Maynooth, his face turned red and then pale, and he could see that he was extremely angry, but he still tried his best to maintain his dignity and aloofness as the archbishop of the church, and the muscles on his face were almost distorted.But he was twisted and twisted. Faced with Maynooth's generous financial support, even if the elders of the council didn't want to agree to Shen Xiuyun's three requests, they couldn't refuse them directly.

"Since His Royal Highness Maynooth said so, I have no objection to General Shen Xiuyun being the next commander of the Honor Corps, and I also agree to give the Omega Allied Forces a legal title, but what he said about increasing the number of staff and the autonomy of the Omega planet, I don't care. I will not agree." Duke Rodo said, "This is related to the interests of the empire, no matter what, I will not give in."

"In that case, let's vote." Councilor Philp said.

"That's right, everything that needs to be discussed has already been discussed, let's vote." Mr. Toller, the Minister of Education and the leader of the Peace Party, also expressed his attitude.

The party capitals of the two major parties had no objections, and the voting began soon, with live electronic voting and then a counting of votes on the spot.According to the Imperial Constitution, all members of parliament have the right to vote, ordinary members have only one vote, nobles have two votes, and all royals and elders have three votes.

The three requirements put forward by Shen Xiuyun, first of all, his Omega Allied Army was merged into the Imperial Army to become the Fourth Corps, and it was unanimously approved. In fact, this is not surprising, because it has been agreed before, and the outside media has long been spreading the propaganda Open, if the parliament goes back on its word, it will create a bad impression of no credibility among the people, which is absolutely unacceptable in this period of turmoil.

Secondly, Lorgar elected Shen Xiuyun to be the commander of the Glory Corps, and the number of votes in favor was far higher than the votes against. Since then, Shen Xiuyun became the first Omega to join the Imperial Army, and was given the command of the most elite troops of the Imperial Army!

The voting was still going on, and the number of votes against whether the Glory Corps should increase its number began to increase. Shen Xiuyun looked at the real-time vote statistics screen and couldn't help sneering in his heart: These people really made a good plan, and gave him the military power that he can withdraw at any time With a false and useless name, let him go out to work hard, but in the end they don't want to give him any practical benefits.

At this time, everyone in the council was focusing on the statistics screen. At the moment when the final count of votes stopped, Shen Xiuyun was very surprised. Unexpectedly, the yes votes were still higher than the no votes.The countenance of Duke Luo Duo has already begun to look bad, and several elders also began to whisper to each other, expressing surprise at the result, but the result of the votes has already come out, and it is useless to say anything, and the last request for Shen Xiuyun is: Omi The autonomy of the Ga planet.

As soon as the voting started, the negative votes were far ahead. Luo Duo, Dott and others finally calmed down, but they were a little early to be happy, because the number of positive votes soon caught up. When the final votes were about to stop, the positive votes were only less than One vote down!

The secretary in charge of statistics was about to announce the results, when Abigail frowned and asked, "Is there one person who didn't vote?"
