Chapter 116: Seven-hole Trash Heart
After Qiqiao Linglongxin finished speaking, his neck lowered slightly. Lin Wen felt that Qiqiao Linglongxin wanted him to kneel on one knee and lower his head to be slaughtered.
Of course, this was absolutely impossible, so Lin Wen only bowed slightly to her.
It was a very graceful move, but not the most logical one.
However, when Lin Wen raised her head again, the noble lady's anger had turned into a huge pink heart.
Lin Wen had never seen such an exaggerated change in Qi. This woman seemed to have exposed all her emotions. Her feelings were strong, passionate and open, without any scruples, and she had no firm core beliefs. This was the reason for such an extreme change.
But all this stops at the expression on his face.
She now looks noble and elegant, mature and immature, open and reserved, charming and seductive yet pure and moving. Her expression is reserved and polite, but her eyes are sparkling, as if she has seen a rare gem.
Now, Lin Wen is a little worried about the next problem.
The lady covered her mouth with her hands and smiled softly, "Thank you for the compliment. I hope you can be more graceful next time."
Lin Wen didn't quite understand what was going on, but her sharp mind had already started a pleasant conversation with her.
The two defenders looked at each other, and seeing the lady giggling and her emotions surging, without a trace of anger, they had no choice but to quietly retreat again, secretly sighing that young people nowadays are really extraordinary, and their tricks are getting better and better every year.
The headphones were strangely silent at this time, without a single word being spoken.
After a moment, the lady chuckled and said, "Lin Wenjun, why don't we talk about something sensitive?"
Lin Wen asked in surprise: "Here?"
Two blushes rose on her cheeks, making her look even more charming. The lady blushed slightly, like a shy girl, and nodded gently.
"Great, I was just about to talk about something sensitive."
Lin Wen immediately closed his Seven Apertures Heart and asked:
"How many people are there in the Supreme Council of Elders? Do the elders have a lot of power? Who has the most power?"
The sound of a chair falling over came from the headphones, and the lady froze, her pretty face full of disbelief.
After a moment, she probably thought it was a joke from Lin Wen and chuckled, "You're so humorous."
Lin Wen said seriously: "Madam, I really want to hear it, please tell me."
Seeing that he didn't look like he was pretending, Mrs. Ye thought about it and suddenly felt that this was quite interesting. She had been using the same old trick for too long and was a bit tired of it. She could try this light and unconventional way to change the taste, which might be very interesting.
Headphones: "Why are you asking her? I can tell you this."
Lin Wenchao replied in a low voice, "She is Elder Ye's daughter. She must know more than you do, and she might even be able to find out some inside information."
The headphones no longer speak.
Madam Ye thought about it carefully and said, "My father, ahem, my friend's father once said that the Supreme Elders' Council is like a chessboard, and there are eight people playing chess, namely the eight elders."
"There are four people watching the game, the four great elders, and one person counting the chess pieces, the First Elder, our Majesty. They are also the referees."
Mrs. Ye held her cheek with her slender little hand, staring blankly at the sky, trying hard to search for her past memories.
Only then did she really look like a young girl.
"Hmm—there are 29 plus 13 pieces on the chessboard. The 29 represent the 29 governors of the empire, and the 13 represent the 13 representatives of the highest councils of the Imperial Headquarters, the State Council, the Supreme Council, the Capitol, and the Senate."
"There are also some candidate elders and candidate representatives to the Supreme Council, but they are nominal positions with no real power, so they don't count."
"Beneath the chessboard are all the people of the empire."
She clapped her hands. "That's right. So, the Supreme Council of Elders has a total of 13 Supreme Rulers and 42 High Rulers."
After she finished speaking, she smiled sweetly: "Oh, I said it quite well, didn't I?"
The Seven-Aperture Delicate Heart revealed a pure, sunny smile without any impurities: "The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the profound is easy to understand. No one is more suitable than you."
For the first time, Mrs. Ye felt her girlish heart beating again. This dreamy and youthful feeling was sweeter and more moving than indulging in carnal desires.
She tried to collect herself and continued, "Most of the time, the elders are the rulers of the empire."
"But within the Supreme Elders' Council, the First Elder theoretically has the most power, but in reality, he's also subject to the most restrictions. My uncle once said that if he had the opportunity to shine, he would be the undisputed strongest. But they won't give him that chance."
"And our Emperor is the First Elder. Together with the four Great Elders, they are the ultimate rulers."
"Wow!"
The Seven-Aperture Heart expressed surprise at the right moment and praised generously:
"Your uncle knows so much; his depth must be unfathomable, just like yours."
Madam Ye said shyly, "Oh, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Wen cut off his Seven Apertures Delicate Heart and asked, "How did this joint meeting proceed? Who has the most say? What is the process for impeaching officials from above?"
Mrs. Ye was overjoyed. She just happened to know all this and simply repeated what her father had said to her good-for-nothing brother:
"A joint session is all about wrangling, dividing money, balancing conflicts between states, resolving major disputes, impeaching those who go too far, and executing those who incur public wrath."
"The Thirteen States Joint Conference is chaired by four elders. This time, the ones present are Elder Cheng, Father... Elder Ye, Elder Wang, and Elder Xu. This is top secret information."
She winked at Lin Wen and gave him a cute and lovely smile.
Lin Wen didn't get the hint that she was asking for a "reward," so he thought for a moment and said, "Thank you."
Mrs. Ye could not hide her disappointment, but when she looked at his clear and sunny face, a breath of youthful air suddenly surged into her heart, just like suddenly smelling the fragrance of grass in a luxurious place of makeup.
"Um--"
She tried to recall, pulling her mind away from the intoxication and the sudden rhythm of youth, and said, "The right to speak lies with the four elders, then the thirteen governors, and finally the officials at all levels."
"Of course, the power of officials at all levels of the empire cannot be ignored."
"For impeachment, it seems that three votes are required. The accusations are made by the Council, and more than one-third of the votes are needed to form a motion of accusation and submit it to the Adjudication Committee."
"After the ruling committee passes the decision, it will be submitted to the entire joint meeting for another vote. If there is not more than two-thirds of the votes in favor, the elders will need to vote. If less than half, the decision will be invalid and the charges will be dropped."
"If you're impeaching the Governor, it can only be a preliminary case. It will be submitted to the Supreme Council of Elders before a ruling can be made."
She suddenly remembered something.
"Lin...Lin Wen? Are you the crazy governor of Changshan County?"
It's finally on the shelves. The notice says it will be on April 1st. I will update a lot once it's on the shelves. I beg for your support.
