The Empress Tan Tai Zijun was really furious.
During this period, she had already announced to the people of the empire in advance that Zoran David's military rank would be promoted to colonel.
All that’s left is the final procedure to officially award the title.
Unexpectedly, Quan Yuxun in the Senate didn't give her any face at all!
Is it so easy to lose the emperor's face?!
"Give me the authority to be the chief legal advisor to the Senate and an audience with me."
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun issued an order, and Quan Yuxun came over immediately.
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun did not meet him in the imperial study, but walked with him intimately on the large lawn in the imperial garden to show her favor.
She smiled and said, "Chief Quan, this matter is a problem with the military."
"They will soon be voting again to meet the three-quarters requirement."
Quan Yuxun still had a smile on his face. He bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please understand."
"I had no choice. For us lawyers, the most important thing is the letter of the law."
"If we don't follow the letter of the law, who else can we expect to follow it?"
"We can't destroy our own jobs..."
Empress Tantai Zijun seemed very satisfied with his attitude and nodded, saying, "My dear minister, what you said makes sense."
"But, I have almost already issued an order..."
Quan Yuxun interrupted her calmly, "Your Majesty, announcing it on Starnet doesn't count as a decree."
Empress Tantai Zijun was choked by his words. Although her unhappiness grew, her expression remained unchanged. She nodded and said, "So, I must complete this formality."
"But if the Senate doesn't approve, how can I complete this procedure?"
Because her imperial edict needed the stamp of the Senate.
Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "That's no problem. As long as the military holds a new vote and the required number is reached, we will immediately organize a vote."
Empress Tantai Zijun seemed to have just realized this and asked, "You haven't even voted yet, and you've already rejected it?"
Quan Yuxun said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."
"This is not a dismissal. This is a procedural error."
"If the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the military agree with less than three-quarters of the votes, it cannot be put to a vote in the Senate."
Empress Tantai Zijun paused, her voice a little cold: "...But they still sent the resolution to your Senate."
"Is it you, the Senate, or you, Chief Quan, who are obstructing this resolution and refusing to give it a chance to pass?"
Quan Yuxun made a surprised expression and said, "Your Majesty, this is a violation of procedure by the Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting of the military."
"They shouldn't have sent the unpassed resolution to the Senate for a vote."
"Your Majesty, you should hold the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the military responsible, not us, the Senate."
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun did not expect that even though she, as an emperor, had lowered herself to a lower level, Quan Yuxun still did not appreciate it at all.
She took a deep breath and said, "It seems that you, my dear Lord Quan, are no longer on the same page with me."
Quan Yuxun bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I will always abide by the laws of the empire."
Empress Tantai Zijun waved her sleeves and said, "Does that mean you must go against my will?"
Quan Yuxun said, "Of course not. The will of the law is the will of Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty's powers are written into the Constitution of the Monarchy."
"I defend the Constitution, which means I defend Your Majesty!"
Empress Tantai Zijun's face turned ashen as a tear as she forced out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Then, should I still praise you for your loyalty?!"
Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all the grace of the king."
"Whether to praise or not is entirely up to Your Majesty."
The female emperor, Tan Tai Zijun, was almost choked to death by Quan Yuxun.
She clenched her fists, digging her pointed fingernails deep into her palms, letting the pain share some of her anger, so as to avoid losing her temper, which would be embarrassing in front of Quan Yuxun.
She turned and walked back to the gate of her palace.
He stood on the steps for a while, then turned around and said, "Chief Quan, are you blocking Zoron David's title because of... your fiancée... Xia Chujian?"
Quan Yuxun stood at the bottom of the stairs, looking up with a look of astonishment: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
"Captain Xia didn't agree to my proposal, so you can't say she's my fiancée."
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun felt that Quan Yuxun was playing dumb.
Quan Yuxun has publicly proposed to her, will Xia Chu really disagree when she meets that commoner?
Even if you can still force yourself to agree in public, you must have agreed millions of times in private, right?
Empress Tan Tai Zijun knew that she did not like Quan Yuxun, but the candidate she had chosen for the empress had someone else in her heart, which was embarrassing for her as the empress.
Thinking of this, she was now almost certain that Quan Yuxun was unwilling to officially award Zoren David the rank of colonel just to vent his anger for his fiancée, Xia Chujian!
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun also knew that Xia Chujian's military achievements were enough to earn him the rank of colonel.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, Xia Chujian must be a noble.
Not only is he a civilian, but he is also an ordinary person. How could he be promoted to colonel?
You know, in the Beichen Empire, as long as you are promoted to colonel, promotion to general is a sure thing.
In the 10,000-year history of the Beichen Empire, only Huo Yushen, a commoner, became a marshal.
But Huo Yushen received this promotion due to his genetic evolution level and outstanding military achievements.
Xia Chujian, why?
In short, she has military merits, but not to the level of Huo Yushen.
