With Li Xuan's guidance, Ino is also more handy when dealing with the nobles and chaebols of the Imperial Capital Star.
Nobles and chaebols control the parliament, and he cooperates with emerging forces such as Xie Qingran in the parliament, and specifically sings against the conservative forces.
For example, the parliament has so far not approved the authorization to fight against the second galaxy, and the military actions of nobles and chaebols to impeach the emperor and overstep the stack are illegal. Xie Qingran and other emerging forces voted against it.
When Xie Qingran and others wanted to pass the military budgets of Yuezhan and Ino, the aristocrats of the old forces also voted against it. The two sides quarreled every day, and even fought several times, and neither made the other better.
Just when the situation was deadlocked, Ino suddenly held a holographic meeting as the crown prince, and the meeting was broadcast live in real time.
At the beginning of the meeting, Eno pointed out the theme - reconciling the contradictions between the two sides.
It is said to be reconciliation, but the old school knows that the crown prince is here to support Xie Qingran and others.
The nobles were not unprepared either. Speaker Derek interrupted Eno when he spoke, saying: "Wait a minute, before that, please allow me to ask a question, Your Highness, as a half-sea native, sits here to preside over The meeting, which country's interests are represented?"
The venue was silent for a moment, and the reporters in charge of the real-time broadcast also looked at Ino.
Ino looked at him and asked with a smile, "As the crown prince of the empire, what other country's interests can I represent?"
Derek smiled and pointed out: "Speaking of the crown prince, I remember that this is only the decision of His Majesty at present. Until the decision is passed by the parliament, you can only be regarded as the quasi crown prince."
"Oh?" Ino pretended to be puzzled and said, "According to Your Excellency, the parliament does not intend to pass this decision? Is there something wrong with me?"
"Your biggest weakness is that you have half the blood of the royal family of the sea." Derek looked quite confident, and then said: "By the way, I also invited a few distinguished guests to participate in this meeting today, Please forgive me for not being able to inform you in advance.”
He said "Please forgive me", but his tone was not apologetic at all. After he finished speaking, he got up and looked at the entrance of the meeting, nodding slightly.
Ino also turned his attention, and soon, the door opened, and the first person came in was Prince Andrew, who was Scott's younger brother and Ino's uncle. Following closely are the eldest prince and princess Lily, as well as Andre's three sons and two daughters.
Ino instantly understood Derek's intentions and couldn't help frowning.
Andre smiled kindly, even facing Ino, he said in a gentle tone, "Little Emperor, you don't seem very happy when you see your uncle?"
Ino stood up and bowed, smiled politely and alienatedly, and said, "You are wrong."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the eldest prince and Lily, and asked with his eyes obscure: Did you stand on the same boat with him
The eldest prince and Lily reacted surprisingly in unison, staring, shrugging, and spreading their hands at the same time, saying: I'm also confused, what's the situation
After knowing that his brother (sister) did not turn against him, Ino felt relieved, sat down and continued to see what medicine Derek bought in the gourd.
Derek warmly invited the eldest prince and others to sit down, then preemptively said, "Little Highness, with all due respect, in terms of origin and blood, the eldest prince and Princess Lily are more qualified to be heirs than you, not to mention Annie. Prince Andre's family."
Ino turned to look at Lily, and asked seriously, "Sister Lily, do you want to be a princess?"
Lily was studying the nails she had just done, and when she heard the words "ah", she waved her hand and said, "No, no, I'm not that material... Well, I mean, I'm not interested in power, I prefer to pursue art."
When Andre and Derek heard the words, their mouths twitched.
Ino smiled at her, and then asked the eldest prince: "What about the emperor brother?"
The eldest prince was hesitant. Looking at everyone present, he struggled several times, but in the end he said, "I'm not interested either."
After a pause, he added hesitantly: "I think it's good for my brother to be the crown prince. We all support it."
Ino was very surprised. He guessed that the eldest prince would not stand with Andre's family, but he really didn't expect that the other party would speak for him.
Princess Lily was also obviously surprised and forgot to appreciate the nails.
The eldest prince was slightly annoyed, but there were too many people present and it was not easy to attack.
He was not reconciled at the beginning. When he first learned that Ino was not the son of Queen Derain, and even had half the blood of the Sea Kingdom, he did have the idea of "lack of a competitor", but then he had to You know, the emperor actually made Ino the crown prince.
At that time, he was very distressed and went to his mother, Mrs. Messally, to complain. Who knows, Messally touched his head and said, "Silly son, this is a good thing."
First Prince: "?"
Mrs. Maysally analyzed for him seriously: "You think, you are so unwise, if you really inherit the throne, our empire will not be destroyed? Mother is so young and beautiful, she will be forced to flee, how miserable, and your sister …”
First Prince: "??"
"Look at your father, how long it took you to be an emperor, and you almost tossed the empire away. Do you think you are more capable than him?"
First Prince: "..."
Of course he doesn't think he is more capable than his father, but... It's not right for his mother to hit him like this, right
"Is Ino better than me?" he asked in disbelief.
Messally couldn't beat him, so she just continued to touch her silly son's head, and said, "I'm not much smarter than you, but he can control people better than you. You see, from the military to the parliament to scientific research, he has He has followers, and now there is Haiguo as his backing. What are you arguing with? Can you mobilize Yuezhan or cultivate talents like Xie Qingran and Hu Yichen? In other words, can you handle the Zhao Boxuan rebellion this time? ?"
The eldest prince looked bewildered, and after a while he asked, "Mom, whose real mother are you?"
Mrs. Meisali glanced at him, and said angrily: "I'm thinking about you, do you understand? You think it's a good thing to be an emperor, look at your father, you don't have the ability, and being an emperor is still unhappy, it's not every day. Going into the hospital by yourself? You, instead of thinking about those who don’t have it, it’s better to find a smart girl and have a smart child, maybe your son and grandson have more hope.”
First Prince: "..."
He came with a grudge on his face, and even more grudgingly when he left.
Even so, Mrs. Messally did not let him go, and continued to exhort: "By the way, if you decide not to fight, just be generous. I don't think Ino is a person who can't tolerate people, and your relationship with him is not bad. , to show your favor, and to be an idle prince in the future, wouldn't you be happy?"
"Understood." The eldest prince looked depressed.
What's even more depressing is that after he went back, he thought about it, and actually felt that his mother was right.
Recalling this, he couldn't help sighing, then he tugged on Ino's holographic phantom, and whispered in his ear: "Although I have given up fighting with you now, it doesn't mean I have given up completely. When I get married... hum, my The kid must be smarter than your kid."
Yi Nuo looked inexplicable: "..." This is impossible, Xiaoyubao must be smarter... Forget it, let's not bother with the fool.
Seeing this, Derek said, "In this case, only Prince Andrew is the most qualified to be the heir in the royal family."
Ino retracted his gaze, looked at him, and then looked at Andre.
Andre smiled slightly, and Ino also smiled and said slowly: "But I remember that my uncle's mother seems to be... a Federalist? In truth, my uncle should be like me, and only half of the imperial family. Bloodline. As for the cousins here, that's only a quarter of the royal blood."
Andre's smile froze, and he immediately retorted: "Where is this rumor coming from? The emperor's nephew, don't listen to some random words, just use it to spread the word."
Ino picked up a document and shook it, with a pure and innocent expression, and said, "It doesn't matter if I catch the wind, the important thing is that I still have some information about the 'small transaction' between my uncle and Speaker Derek, I don't know if my uncle Are you not interested with Speaker Derek?"
After finishing speaking, he did not give the two a chance to react, and directly opened the projection to reveal the evidence that the two colluded and plotted to embezzle the assets of the empire.
Derek and Andre's faces turned pale in an instant, and the reporters' holographic cameras aimed at the two and the evidence, slamming them for a while.
But it's not over yet, because Ino quickly said with a smile: "Don't worry, take pictures slowly, there is evidence of corruption by other members here."
His voice was soft and pleasant, but what he said made the other aristocratic congressmen present instantly become the same as Derek and the blood on their faces faded.
Some panicked members even stood up to grab the information, but after reaching out their hands, they remembered that this was a meeting in a semi-holographic scene, and the little prince present was just a holographic image.
Treacherous, so treacherous! Even if they can't catch it, they can't even destroy it.
Derek laughed angrily, thinking to himself: What if you show evidence? You are far away from the starfish, beyond the reach of the whip, I am still the speaker, I can completely dismiss you first, and then declare that the evidence is false.
Thinking of this, Derek sneered and was about to speak. But at this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open, and then, the emperor who was supposed to be recovering from the congressman appeared.
And behind him, there are people from the Imperial Prosecutor's Office.
Derek's face was pale again, and Prince Andrew, after reading the evidence, he was already soft on the seat.
Soon, the live broadcast was shut down. The next day, news of Derek's impeachment and investigation came out. Immediately after, many congressmen from the conservative forces were removed from office, and even noble properties and companies were seized.
Because the evidence is so conclusive that it has even been broadcast live, the mainstream public opinion almost supports it. Some people even went to the square in front of the palace to hold placards for a party, shouting "Well done crown prince".
Now no one doubts the identity of Crown Prince Ino anymore. In the parliament, after the conservative forces were attacked, the emerging forces represented by Xie Qingran quickly rose up.
The vice-speaker, Qiu Lin, is temporarily acting as the speaker. This person is honest and moderate, and he will be able to retire in a few years. Seeing Derek's downfall, he quickly turned to Ino and the Emperor.
As a result, although Xie Qingran, who was supported by Ino, was not yet the speaker, he had a greater right to speak in the parliament. They quickly passed war bills, quarterly budget bills, etc.
Previously restrained by the parliament, the military has not been able to use troops to the second galaxy on a large scale. After that, the army quickly overwhelmed the situation.
After that, everything was just as Li Xuan said, the defense line of the second galaxy collapsed quickly, and it was too late when the other lords who were watching from the side reacted and wanted to take action.
It took less than a week for the fleet led by Yue Zhan to reach the main star of the second galaxy.
