After disconnecting the communication, Shi Xing did not go to rest as he said, but sat quietly with his eyes closed for a minute or two. He seemed to have thought of something before he slowly opened his eyes, looked up and asked Tang Mi, "Have you disconnected it?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Shi Xing said, "Let's have a meeting with everyone in the villa, including Wei Wenshu."

After thinking about it, Shi Xing named, "Uncle Xu must come, and Admiral Fei and Major General Fu should also be called. Bi Zhou should have fallen asleep, but never mind, he is still growing. Let's talk to him tomorrow..."

After a pause, Shi Xing said, "These are the people. Tang Mi, go and invite them. When everyone is gathered, you should come too."

After giving the order, the study fell into silence again, and Shi Xing closed his eyes to rest.

When he opened his eyes again, he found Wei Wan looking at him. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Wei Wan shook her head.

After looking at Shi Xing a few more times, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, your attitude in the meeting just now, wasn't it His Majesty who taught you?"

Although Wei Wan didn't intervene in Shi Xing's education policy, she would let Xu Jin and Chi Yao take a look at some things when they taught her about government affairs. So although she didn't participate in the whole process, Wei Wan had a general idea of ​​what Shi Xing had learned.

Knowing this, she felt it was very strange.

Shi Xing smiled, "Are you asking me about my aggressiveness?"

Wei Wan was speechless and tried to find something to say, but the word "aggressive" sounded more like self-mockery. Shi Xing didn't care about Wei Wan's reaction, and just shook his head and said, "It wasn't taught by His Highness, he wouldn't teach me these things, it's..."

Shi Xing thought about it and smiled again, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Some life experience."

"In the past, I was too weak and suffered some losses. Later, I didn't want to continue to encounter such grievances, so my reaction would be more intense. Although the expression was not appropriate, it was useful. Over time, it became like this."

This approach was not appropriate, but Shi Xing didn't know how to handle it more tactfully.

He couldn't get it right, he knew it, but there was nothing he could do.

Although Shi Xing was smiling and his narration was calm, Wei Wan felt pity for him.

Wei Wan said sincerely, "If it was another direct descendant of the royal family, it would be a little inappropriate, but for the little prince, especially in this situation, I think it is just right."

Wei Wan: "Little prince, you don't need to have too much psychological burden. It's totally fine for you to act like this."

"Really?"

After receiving Wei Wan's affirmation, Shi Xing smiled again, a smile from the heart.

Wei Wan felt that this smile was much more pleasing to the eye.

After a while, everyone was gathered.

They were all familiar people, so Shi Xing didn't hide anything and said straight to the point, "I think and feel that I should participate in the reception of the Alliance diplomacy this time."

Yes, although he didn't say it to the Senate and the Council of Elders, Shi Xing had already made up his mind.

"First of all, my status is high enough. Bi Zhou is not an adult after all. He has to wait until he reaches adulthood to have the right to participate in politics and military power. Although he is familiar with these, it is different to have them. I am afraid that the Alliance diplomats will look down on him because of his age."

"Secondly, there are some issues about the border line, which is also the main political cooperation that the Alliance is negotiating with the Empire this time. Although Your Highness has not discussed it with me, I know that Your Highness does not agree and will not agree to the Alliance increasing the length of the border line guarded by the Empire."

Shi Xing would not agree, but it was difficult to say the reason why he would not agree.

Everyone present knew that Chi Yao disagreed.

Because in the last negotiation, it was Chi Yao who took the initiative to shorten the length of the border line guarded by the Empire.

In fact, Shi Xing wanted to shorten it this time, but that was a matter for the future. He might have to wait until Chi Yao woke up before he could make a decision.

The main problem he was facing now was diplomatic reception.

"Let's put aside the considerations of the Senate and the Council of Elders. The most fundamental thing is, if I don't participate, who will defend the bottom line of the border? If there is an offense, who is qualified to rebuke the alliance on behalf of Bi Zhou? Do we need the members of the Senate and the Council of Elders to defend Bi Zhou?"

"Having the same status as a diplomat will make you lose a lot of legitimacy. In addition, there are some things that the royal family can say and scold, but officials may not be able to. Their status limits them. So, this is also a reason why I want to participate."

After a pause, thinking that all the points had been made, Shi Xing looked at everyone, "What do you think?"

Xu Jin had experienced two emperors, and the protection of the royal family was engraved in his bones. He immediately said, "There is no precedent that the emperor's companion cannot participate in diplomatic receptions. If it spreads to other planets in the future, they will be laughed at. No matter what kind of care... "Your Highness should be present, and no one can deprive you of this qualification."

Wei Wan: "I think what your Highness said is very right, and we cannot throw away the food because of choking."

Fei Chu's understanding of Shi Xing's last few sentences is even more profound. "No matter how high the official's title is, he is at most an equal to the diplomats of the Alliance. If you are not qualified in status, some things are difficult to say. If you encounter provocation and picking faults, does the Empire have to swallow this breath?"

The relationship between the Alliance and the Empire has been getting worse in recent years. There are no major diplomatic conflicts, but small frictions continue. Fei Chu's heart is as clear as a mirror.

Fei Chu: "The Empire guards the longest border. They should be more respectful to us. Even if Xingxing is not experienced enough, why should we give face to the Alliance and put our own people in a difficult position?"

Thinking of something, Fei Chu sneered, "The Empire is a hereditary system. If nothing unexpected happens, the throne will be for life. The prime minister of the Alliance will serve for six years. The Alliance is large and scattered, and the internal interests are complicated. Even if their prime minister comes, Xingxing will be offended. After six years, the new prime minister will come to win us over."

In the final analysis, the Empire wants to be on good terms with the Alliance for technological and energy reasons, and the Alliance itself dares not to quarrel with the Empire.

Such a long border is guarded by the Empire. If it quarrels, there will be no second Empire in this galaxy to take over.

As they all came from the military, Fu Qing and Fei Chu had the same idea.

Tang Mi and Wei Wan agreed.

Finally, the internal staff voted unanimously in favor of Shi Xing's attendance.

After the internal staff reached a consensus, the next step would be tomorrow's meeting. Shi Xing would have to face the Senate and the Council of Elders alone, and everyone was a little worried just thinking about it.

Shi Xing was fine, "There is no way to go through the legal route. If possible, internal negotiation would be the best solution."

The guests hadn't arrived yet, but the internal staff had already started to make trouble. It was not a good sign no matter how you looked at it.

He said the response he had already thought of, "Maybe, we can look for external help?"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Shi Xing.

Shi Xing slowly reported a name.

After the internal meeting, it was already past Shi Xing's normal sleep time. Rubbing his eyes, Shi Xing returned to Chi Yao's room. After washing up, he felt the power of Chi Yao's spiritual sea contract. After making sure everything was normal, Shi Xing climbed onto his bed. After

covering himself with the quilt, Shi Xing rubbed his eyes sleepily, "Your Highness, will you blame me when you wake up?"

After thinking for a while, he had no answer. Shi Xing muttered again, "It's so difficult to handle government affairs."

"The Senate and the Council of Elders are now both conservative..."

"President Ren said something wrong tonight, and I calmed him down. It's not certain tomorrow. I don't know what the situation will be. It won't really get so bad that the Supreme Court will have to make a ruling, right?"

Still no answer, Shi Xing's voice was soft, no longer tough, a little helpless, and a little pitiful.

"I hope not."

If everything can be controlled, Chi Yao will not be too angry when he wakes up, right?

After a moment of silence, Shi Xing yawned, "Good night, Your Highness."

After the call was disconnected, Shi Xing was in a meeting in the palace. The Council of Elders and the Senate also pulled everyone up for an emergency meeting.

From the current situation to the plan, the meeting ended when the moon was already high in the sky.

When He Zhuang sent the problem clauses sent by Tang Mi to the person who made the plan, she also found another notice in the mailbox.

After reading it carefully for a while, He Zhuang said with difficulty, "President, there is a notice that needs your review."

Ren Yanyong was tired and in low spirits, "Send me a communicator if you have anything and I'll check it tomorrow."

He Zhuang: "I'm afraid I can't. The palace will need the written document tomorrow."

Ren Yanyong: "?"

Taking a deep breath, He Zhuang said in one go, "The document sent by Tang Mi said that time is tight tonight, so the little prince did not pursue it at the meeting, but the attitude of the elders' council is not a trivial matter. I ask you to respond to your statement that 'the little prince acted recklessly'. If you have your own reason, If you don't have any reason, then write a detailed explanation. If you think you made a slip of the tongue, then according to the rules of the Elders' Council, write a self-criticism for your slip of the tongue and copy it to the palace. "

Ren Yanyong: "..."

Xu Mirou/Jin Jun/other vice presidents: "..."

Ren Yanyong's forehead was throbbing, "He asked me to write a self-criticism?"

He Zhen had to remind him, "If you have other reasons, you can still write a statement."

But other reasons... He Zhen and Xu Mirou who participated in the meeting knew that Ren Yanyong's reasons were blocked by Shi Xing. This sentence was a slip of the tongue, and Shi Xing was just pursuing it.

Ren Yanyong's breathing became heavier, he took a deep breath, and took another deep breath... In the end, he couldn't control himself, and said angrily, "Send the notice to my communicator!"

Then he hung up the communication with a snap.

Xu Mirou was shocked. Good fellow, it was always Ren Yanyong who asked people to write reflections before she joined the Elders' Council. This was the first time she saw someone asking Chairman Ren to write a self-criticism...

Xu Mirou vaguely felt that Shi Xing's personality was not easy to get along with. He was not a Blue Star person who could be manipulated by the Senate and the Elders' Council.

Xu Mirou's idea was right, and it was deeply demonstrated the next day.

When Shi Xing woke up in the morning, he went to check on Chi Yao and found that he was fine. After breakfast, he asked the housekeeping robot to give His Highness a bath and change his clothes. Yan Changyue came in and changed the bedding. He confirmed that Chi Yao should be very comfortable. The energy intensity that made people sleep also dropped. Shi Xing left Yan Changyue to take care of him and went out.

Bi Zhou also supported Shi Xing. At this point, the internal opinions were completely unified.

Later in the evening, Tang Mi came to report, "The Senate and the Council of Elders have simultaneously requested to postpone the meeting to the afternoon. They are urgently discussing and optimizing the plan internally. It will be in the afternoon before they can have a more appropriate written document."

Shi Xing nodded, "Okay."

He was also busy in the morning.

Shi Xing: "But I need Ren Yanyong's review in the morning. Please use your method to urge him."

Although he did not say it explicitly, Shi Xing meant to let Tang Mi annoy Ren Yanyong and poke his lungs.

Tang Mi understood, "Okay, I will make sure that President Ren issues the relevant documents before noon."

Shi Xing nodded.

In the morning, he held another small meeting with Bi Zhou, Xu Jin, Fei Chu, and Wei Wan. After the discussion, an attendant came and said that the people Shi Xing and others had invited had arrived.

Shi Xing stood up, followed by Bi Zhou and Xu Jin and their group, and went to greet them.

While the Senate and the Presbyterian Church were both working hard, at 10:00 p.m., the first draft of the plan was finally formed. After it was formed, it was immediately reviewed, and after two tiring hours of citing classics and looking up legal provisions, the final version was finalized.

When the final version was produced, Wei Zhen and Ren Yanyong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The afternoon meeting time was postponed for another half an hour, and the reason was ridiculous. The Senate and the Presbyterian Church had been working overtime until now, and they requested half an hour for lunch.

Shi Xing was not in a hurry and approved it.

When the meeting was officially held in the study room of the palace, the projections of the Senate and Presbyterian Council members were displayed one after another. Shixing greeted in a brisk voice, "Good afternoon, everyone~"

After a pause, his eyes swept over the faces of the two tired agency personnel one by one, and smiled, "It seems that everyone had a very fulfilling day."

Councilor/Presbyterian Council: "..."

They didn't want to live such a fulfilling life.

After greeting and greeting each other, Shi Xing went straight into the meeting without any hesitation and asked, "Have the reasons for objections been listed?" After

receiving the answer, Shi Xing nodded, "Where are the backup plans? Are they all written down?"

Ren Yanyong and Wei Zhen uploaded their plans to the center. Shi Xing took a look at them, but was not in a hurry to read them.

Shi Xing: "Then, let's start with the question of whether I will participate in the diplomatic reception or not."

Ren Yanyong and Wei Zhen were not panicked about this. They had been against it for so long, not to mention that they had sufficient reasons. The two institutions had also gone through a night of data sorting, with many rules and regulations, and detailed lists. The only two serious civil servants around Shi Xing were Wei Wan and Tang Mi. Compared with the entire House of Representatives and the Council of Elders, no matter how capable they were, the two of them were ultimately incapable.

Wei Zhen and Ren Yanyong looked at each other, and both saw the dawn of victory in each other's eyes.

If Shi Xing wanted to take the legal process forcefully, they might not be able to stop him.

But if he wanted to "reason" with them, he might not be able to win over a group of civil servants.

Learning from the lesson of last night, Wei Zhen spoke first this time, never daring to underestimate Shi Xing again, and was extremely cautious in his choice of words and sentences.

However, before he could get into the topic, Shi Xing interrupted, "Wait a minute, I have an elder here who wants to attend this meeting and discuss."

Wei Zhen frowned, "Your Highness, this is a formal meeting, not everyone can..."

Before he finished speaking, he choked when he saw the figure slowly appearing in the projection.

Former Speaker Chang Quan sat in the flying chair, frowning and sternly saying, "Who? Is this a major meeting? I can't join?"

The moment he saw it clearly, Wei Zhen felt suffocated.

Ren Yanyong was surprised. He didn't sleep well and his thinking was slow. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Chairman Chang?!"

Chang Quan nodded modestly, and then said with a little displeasure, "Chairman is a thing of the past. Now I am just an idle person. Wei Zhen is right next to you. It's not appropriate for Chairman Ren to call me like this."

"Besides, I participated in the meeting for the Empire, and it has nothing to do with my previous unit. I just help with the analysis."

Ren Yanyong: "..."

It's not appropriate, but...

Ren Yanyong's eyes passed Wei Zhen and subconsciously looked at the rest of the parliament. Sure enough, the vice-chairman and senior parliamentarians nominated by Chang Quan were surprised and excited when they saw Chang Quan again.

And this little action fell into Wei Zhen's eyes, and Wei Zhen's face turned ashen.

Ren Yanyong obviously feared that the Senate would default on its promise, so he turned back.

Ren Yanyong... was indeed thinking the same thing.

After all, all the civil servants in the internal affairs agencies knew that the pillars of the Senate were all brought up by Chang Quan? !

Thinking of this, Ren Yanyong's face turned green.

With Chang Quan joining, it can't be that they can't even argue with Shi Xing? !

It can't be enough? ! !
