MTL - Zerg’s Favorite Protagonist-Chapter 142 143
"I have no interest in inheriting the Sheng family."
"It's not you who decides whether to inherit or not." Old Sheng's expression became more indifferent. He put his hand on the arm of the chair and said, "All you have to do is obey my arrangement."
Sure enough, he was a very arrogant old man. Although he showed his intention to listen, if he violated him, he would refuse without hesitation. Song Bai somewhat understood why Baishan kept him away from the Sheng family at that time.
However, now he needs the strength of the Sheng family. Since he has tested the bottom line, there is no need to anger the other party.
Song Bai shrugged his shoulders and said, "In this case, I can only listen to you."
Old Sheng's shoulders were still tense. Song Bai knew that he had tried a little too hard just now, and continued, "Since the Sheng family must be inherited by me, then, I want to know what power the Sheng family can use?" Song Bai said calmly after deciding on the inheritance that Old Sheng was most concerned about.
"Your father taught you not to have any aristocratic bearing, and it was all businessman's calculations." Sheng Lao said lightly, but his expression did not show the disgust in his words.
Without waiting for Song Bai to speak, he took the initiative to explain: "For the family, financial resources and connections are secondary. The true strength of the family is reflected in how much power the family master holds. The core of this is enough to interfere. The power of the constitution. In my hands, I have the power of legislation and supervision. Legislation is to establish the law. The legal provisions I propose can be directly passed the vote of the members and submitted to Guangnao for review. The power of supervision is possessed by every family owner. The legal dissatisfaction can be objected to. The other is the ruling power of the military. Of course, unless something of a particularly bad nature happens, I generally will not move the military.”
Old Sheng saw the shock on Song Bai's face unsurprisingly, he nodded slightly, and the old voice was slow and heavy, "This is the Sheng family."
Song Bai sat in the chair, everything Old Sheng said made him, the author who claimed to know the background of the original book, felt a huge impact.
As an author, it would be a lie to say that you have no confidence in your own work. What Song Bai is most satisfied with about this book is its background setting. Its system is self-contained and can justify itself.
Among his readers, many people discussed the rationality of the system based on the background of the article, which is also what Song Bai is most satisfied with.
However, now, there is a bug in this article, a bug that cannot be ignored, how can Song Bai, the author, endure it!
According to Song Bai's conception, the Insect Star is an emperor system. After the Insect Emperor abdicates, the power will be divided into the hands of the four great families.
However, the Insect Emperor in this world gave the Sheng family the complete legislative power alone. This means that if one day, Sheng Patriarch, on a whim, wants to make the entire Insect Star return to the imperial society overnight, it is not impossible.
The other heads of households have supervisory powers. But what's the use of that?
If they wanted to abolish the old monarchy, they would either reject the monarchy bill, or they would legislate again to abolish the monarchy bill.
The complete legislative power is in the hands of the Sheng family, and the final ruling power is in the hands of Guangnao. Sheng Lao will not repeal his own bill, and his brain will not be transferred by the will of outsiders. If it is rejected, it will be rejected.
Supervision power is equivalent to uselessness.
For the first time, Song Bai felt that the unreasonable development of the world made him a little broken.
"Next Saturday will be a good day, so let's settle it." Elder Sheng's voice came faintly.
Old Sheng is impatient! Song Bai was suddenly shocked. His current identity is not only the author, but also Song Bai who wants to prevent the plot of the original book from happening.
Although the suspicion of the Sheng family has been ruled out, there are still three aristocratic families, and now he can only investigate the other three aristocratic families with the help of the power of the Sheng family. However, this does not mean that he is willing to completely take over the heavy burden of the Sheng family for this, and quickly said: "The time is still too short, and I am not old enough. When you think it's appropriate, take it over again?"
Old Sheng's expression finally changed. He looked at Song Bai up and down, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
Having experienced three descendants who would rather flee than inherit the Sheng family, Song Bai's active cooperation made him a little uncomfortable. The stern words he prepared were useless, and Old Sheng's expression softened a little. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, you can't escape from experience. It's just that it depends on how much power you can take away from me. your own business."
"If you can't satisfy me, then I will only give you the supervisory power that the head of the family should have. As for the legislative and military power, I will arrange it properly before abdicating."
Old Sheng's voice contained emotion and recollection of the past, "Everything in the Sheng family is the grace of the insect emperor. I attach importance to the inheritance of the Sheng family, but it also depends on how talented you are. Otherwise..." The remaining half He didn't say it.
Old Sheng was unexpectedly friendly, Song Bai was a little surprised, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The abdicated Insect Emperor can hand over such power to the Sheng family, I am afraid that he also values the Sheng family's due diligence, which makes him, the author, feel a little better.
"Don't think that if you have the blood of the Sheng family on your body, I will be merciful. My test is not easy to pass." Elder Sheng obviously misunderstood that Song Bai was lucky to escape.
As long as we can buy time, Song Bai smiled and said, "Grandfather, you can handle the test. However, I have another request."
Old Sheng was not satisfied with Song Bai's attitude, but he did not interrupt and motioned him to continue.
"Can you be accommodating to the venue of this test and arrange for me a position closer to the Qi family?" After ruling out the Sheng family, the Qi family was Song Bai's second suspect.
Old Sheng's eyes gradually widened, and even the white beard on his lips trembled slightly. With a snap, he patted the table and said, "Okay, as expected of the descendants of my Sheng family."
Old Sheng pushed away the chair, put his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth behind the table twice. From time to time, he glanced sideways at Song Bai, as if he was looking at a work he was most satisfied with.
All of this happened so suddenly that Song Bai didn't know what was going on. He saw Old Sheng dialing the number of the military and calling the housekeeper again. With Old Sheng's rare expression of approval, the housekeeper sent him out the door. Until he got into the car, Song Bai still didn't know what happened.
When he said this to the housekeeper, the housekeeper smiled slightly and explained to him: "The Qi family has been challenging the Sheng family for the past few years. This month, a revised law was passed by the Qi family over the Sheng family. I'm very angry, young master, you took the initiative to bring this matter up, and it's really poking into the heart of the old man."
There was a conflict between the Sheng family and the Qi family. Sadin only told him about it at noon. When he saw Mr. Sheng, Song Bai just thought about the original plot and forgot about it.
The Sheng family was excluded, and the Qi family was next. Song Bai thought so.
…
Mr. Sheng was obviously very satisfied with Song Bai, his grandson. He personally sent the housekeeper to send Song Bai back, and even specially instructed to use a vehicle specially printed with the Sheng family's emblem to deliver it all the way to the door of the house, which made the middle-class community where Song Bai lived. The security guard saw that, thinking it was the family's car that was lost, and almost called the police.
At 12:30 noon, Elder Sheng sent Song Bai back, and within half an hour, the housekeeper called to inform Song Bai that he could visit the military headquarters.
"Is your efficiency a little too fast?" In the study, Song Bai hadn't sorted out all the news he had received so far, when the housekeeper called.
"Master, if it's too fast, we can come back later. When is it convenient for you, Master?"
"Wait a minute," Song Bai felt bad in his heart. He stood up, opened the curtains, and said, "Since you're downstairs, you don't need to go any longer. Wait for me to go down and be with you."
"Master, your rest is more important now. We all serve the Sheng family, and we have never asked the master to cooperate with us."
"Okay, I've already come out." Song Bai's attitude became a little impatient.
When he got into the car, Song Bai closed his eyes and rested. He used to have a short lunch break at noon, but he was too busy at noon to have time, so he had to make up for it in the car.
After a long time, Song Bai was in a daze. Hearing the chatter between the butler and the driver in front of him, Song Bai realized that he had arrived at the place.
Song Bai opened his eyes, and a document was handed to him by the housekeeper.
"Master, there is the task that Elder Sheng has arranged for you,"
Looking at the thin document, Song Bai took it in his hand and was about to open it, but was stopped by the housekeeper, and said, "Old Sheng asked you to look at it later, we will go to the military headquarters in a while to see the arrangement there. Whether it is suitable or not, if it is not suitable, we can make other arrangements.”
The document in his hand was too thin, so Song Bai folded it and put it into his pocket naturally.
Such a move made the housekeeper, who was used to outsiders taking over the Sheng family's documents, feel slightly uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.
"Isn't this a branch? Didn't you go to the headquarters?" Song Bai was a little surprised when he saw the familiar building through the glass of the car.
The housekeeper did not answer Song Bai's words, but first signaled the driver to get out of the car, and then nodded to Song Bai, saying, "According to your request, we have analyzed the Qi family's power, which is mainly reflected in the political and The military department. In the political world, they can influence nearly one-sixth of the seats of the parliamentarians. There are too many parliamentarians in the parliament, which are too scattered and difficult to arrange. The military department's forces have been transferred with the legion. The second army led by Qi Jiang is currently It is the main force of the Qi family in the military headquarters, and the second army is in the branch.
Song Bai nodded and said, "I know this." After all, Qi Jiang deliberately got close to Sardin in front of him in the morning.
Thinking of this, Song Bai's expression became slightly uncomfortable. He hurriedly asked, "Where is the specific location that Mr. Sheng arranged for me?"
The housekeeper noticed Song Bai's change, but he still acted as if he hadn't seen it, and focused on answering Song Bai's question, "The old man spoke and arranged for you to be assigned to the procuratorial department in the branch, but due to the confidential nature of experience, it is not easy to disclose you directly. So, after referring to your age and major, we signed a one-month internship work permit for you from Beijing University, and you will be here until the start of the semester. "
"Confidentiality?" Song Bai was keenly aware of the key. The Prosecutor's Office was directly preparing for the experience. Song Bai touched the folded piece of paper. It seemed that the power of the Sheng family was not so easy to borrow.
"Where is the Prosecution Department? Why haven't I heard of it?" Song Bai said.
"This is a newly established department, you must not have heard of it," the butler explained with a smile.
The procuratorial department is an independent procuratorial system within the military. This department is independent from the original military female system. Once it finds that there are violations of law and discipline, it can bypass the officers and report directly to Mr. Sheng.
Earlier, the pressure on the police station by the bribed members of the military caused a heated discussion on the Internet. After Sheng Lao found out, he was very angry and directly set up the procuratorial department, demanding a strict inspection of officials in the military.
"However, due to the fact that there are too many people involved in the investigation by the Procuratorate, and the old man is firm to the end, he will not tolerate it, and it has greatly damaged the vitality of the headquarters." The butler said with a light smile.
Song Bai could see from his expression that many of those involved must be related to the Qi family.
"I have a question," Song Bai said. After obtaining the butler's consent, he continued: "Why is the Sheng family targeting the Qi family so much? If Elder Sheng is really dissatisfied with the Qi family, why can't he directly use the new legislation to Suppress the Qi family?"
The housekeeper did not despise Song Bai's shallow knowledge, and explained to him with a good attitude: "I forgot, the young master is not someone who has been in contact with the aristocratic family for many years."
"The Sheng family targets the Qi family because the Qi family always tries every means to become the next 'emperor' of the insect star."
"As for why we don't use legislation, this is because the old man has only one person, and he is only in charge of legislation in a few fields that he is familiar with, and he still hands over other fields to the lawmakers who know more about the field, including the interstellar field. .And the main source of income for the Qi family is now outside the stars, and Sheng is beyond the reach."
"Besides returning to Qi's home, it is because of their own ambitions that they are becoming more and more ambitious. Now they are using their economic influence to constantly nibble away members of parliament and influence domestic legislative decisions."
At noon, Song Bai made up for the relevant information about the power organization of Insect Star. In a specific industry, the legislation of Insect Star is proposed and formulated by the current parliamentarians. Only in the macroscopic aspect, it will be checked by Mr. Sheng. If Mr. Sheng carries it out to the members, since the targets are scattered all over the country and the amount of work is huge, the cooperation between the local and the central government is required. Besides, they are all top-notch talents in their respective industries. If one is not handled properly, it may cause internal turmoil in the industry, thereby affecting the confidence of the people in the central government. Therefore, on the congressman's side, Mr. Sheng couldn't move, and he didn't dare to move.
Song Bai looked at the luxurious branch building not far away, and suddenly said, "Moving the family army to the branch this time is not just to make room for new students to join the army during the school season, right?"
The housekeeper nodded, he didn't expect Song Bai to be so keen. "Master has long planned to purge the forces of the Qi family within the military. However, because of the outbreak of the military's bribery, the procuratorial department was established as a matter of course."
Song Bai thought that it was public opinion that forced the military to bow his head, but he didn't expect that it was because Sheng Lao had a plan in this regard.
However, there was one thing Song Bai still didn't understand, he asked the housekeeper, "I don't think my grandfather was a man of power, he could give up his power, why can't he just endure the Qi family being the 'emperor'? "
"This matter is a long story." The housekeeper sighed softly and said, "We have to start from more than a hundred years ago, that is because of the last wish of the last insect emperor before his death."
"Insect King?" Song Bai didn't expect it to be so far away.
The housekeeper nodded and said, "The Insect Emperor is too old for you young people. At that time, Insect Star was still a feudal monarchy, and the technology was far less developed than it is now. At that time, all officials were only male insects. to do it, and the female or the sub-female, in legal status, is only the male's slave."
"It may also be a coincidence. At that time, Insect Star happened to be discovered by the Star Alliance, but because the technology of Insect Star was very backward at that time, coupled with institutional reasons, it was always looked down upon by the countries of the Star Alliance, and the Insect Star was bullied by foreign forces. As a result, it has become a processing plant and raw material origin for developed planets.”
"When all this happened, the Insect Emperor was still very young. He was the only son of the previous Insect Emperor. In addition, the Insect Star was strong in the locality and weak in the center at that time. Even if the territories of various places were invaded, it would have no effect on his succession to the throne."
"However, he saw the situation at the time earlier than everyone else, and realized that the local and the central government were both prosperous and indestructible. So, despite everyone's opposition, he insisted on going to the advanced planets of the Star Alliance to study."
"At that time, the technology of insect stars was very poor. Just traveling in the interstellar space could make a male insect suffer. At that time, no minister was optimistic about him, but he all persevered."
"When he came back from his studies, he clearly saw the essence of the shackled insect star for thousands of years, but the technology is so backward. First, the local area of the insect star is vast and the terrain is complex and changeable, creating a natural barrier between each other, and the division of the territory is obvious, resulting in strong local and royal family. Weak. The second is the habit of honor and inferiority of insect stars since ancient times. Male insects regarded female insects as private property and wanted to kill them. Coupled with the frequent local and local wars at that time, there was always a lack of a peaceful and stable environment for economic development. The third is that male insects The arrogance in their bones makes them believe in the law of the jungle and despise equal deals that can do business."
"The year after the Insect Emperor took the throne, he proposed the slogan of liberating the female slave slaves, but he was opposed by the male lords from all over the world, and many of them even planned to change the heir to the royal family. There was no way, the Insect Emperor retreated and asked. Secondly, it starts with encouraging business in Kyoto, and after the surrounding male lords see the effect, they will implement it in their own territory. After more than 20 years, many lords have completed the transformation from landlords to emerging capitalists, and there is a great demand for labor. Increase. As a result, the Insect King pushed the boat forward and abolished the slave system. At this point, the hierarchical status of males and females has become what we see today. "
Song Bai frowned slightly and said, "But, the current hierarchy..."
The steward said: "It's still not equal, right?"
Song Bai nodded.
The housekeeper sighed and said, "Of course, after all, the long history of male and female, superiority and inferiority, master and slave cannot be completely eliminated in just a few decades. The Insect Emperor can change the legal superiority and inferiority. , but it can't change the dignity in people's hearts."
"After realizing this, the Insect Emperor spent the rest of his life creating a light brain, just to prepare for his future abdication. In the second half of his life, he also promoted four young people with the same philosophy as himself, this is the four The origin of the big family. One of them is called Sheng Gong, the father of the master, the first generation of the Sheng family, and at the same time, he is also the most trusted person by the insect emperor."
"However, at the time, no one knew that the Insect Emperor was about to abdicate. He knew the important position of the Insect Emperor in the hearts of the world, and he knew that if he abdicated, he would definitely be opposed by the ministers and the previous Insect Emperor. Therefore, he waited until They grow old and die, and when the system and industrial chain supporting the emerging economy are mature, he will be too old to appear before he announces his abdication to the world."
"He said that he hoped that the disappearance of the emperor, who represented the highest status of males, would make the world understand that no one is born with dignity."
"Until then, everyone was shocked to discover that the Insect Emperor was single in his life, not because he was busy with government affairs and driving away those alien forces, but because he had planned this for a long time.
"After the death of the insect emperor, the royal family has no successor, and the monarchy is gone forever."
"It can be said that the wish of the insect emperor in his life is that the insect star will no longer be distinguished between male and female. Before his death, he also instructed the four masters that he is a male insect, and he must not mention his achievements too much, so that he will Reinforce people’s perceptions of gender superiority.”
"You should have noticed that the royal family is rarely emphasized in history textbooks, and his achievements are only said to have opened a new era of insect stars."
"The Insect Emperor is a great person, not only because of his male identity, but also because of his dedication to ideals."
"And Elder Sheng has been working hard for his last wish." The housekeeper said.
"Thirty years ago, Mr. Sheng carried out a series of reforms, including the abolition of the family's rule that only males can inherit, the abolition of the military's male marshals, the establishment of the female parliamentary system, and the reduction of married females to males. Legal obligations and responsibilities, these are all to further empower civilians and women." The housekeeper's eyes flashed with respect, but the next second was extremely cold.
"They are also the four great families that want to work hard for the last wish of the worm king, but the Qi family has lost their true nature in the growing power and wealth. They began to agree that males are born noble, emphasizing that male worms should know how to enjoy due benefits. ."
"They didn't make waves before, but it was because the power that the Insect Emperor gave the Sheng family was too strong. In recent years, with the improvement of economic power, the Qi family began to fight against the Sheng family." Speaking of this, the housekeeper's His tone was always cold, and he obviously didn't agree with the Qi family's approach.
After hearing everything, Song Bai's expression changed a little.
Originally, he thought that the Sheng family was simply undertaking the mission of maintaining the long-term stability of the insect star.
At the same time, he intends to use the position given by Mr. Sheng to facilitate the investigation of the Qi family, and he does not intend to seriously carry out the so-called experience task. After all, eliminating the hidden dangers of the civil strife is what he wants to care about.
He doesn't care about the inheritance of the Sheng family.
However, now, when he thinks of the old man who has worked diligently for several years to expand the rights of women, Song Bai suddenly feels a little guilty.
