Chapter 286 Division of Interests "The authority of the Chosen One has always been determined by the Institute itself. Neither the Royal Academy of Sciences nor the royal family has the right to decide, Your Majesty!" The third-level researcher said with fear and trepidation. An Hong just looked at him fiercely. "Jiang Li is my man! Everyone knows he is my man! But after his death, did those people ask for my opinion on how to distribute his authority? If I ask you to go with me, then go with me. I remember that you are also related to the gravity rules. You can use the authority directly after you get it. No matter what the consequences are, I will bear them! I don't believe that they can take the authority away from you again!" The third-level person who was kneeling on one knee on the ground just lowered his head and shook his head with a bitter expression. His Majesty thinks the matter is too simple. If it is an ordinary chosen power, then perhaps the institute would just accept it. After all, he is also a chosen candidate of the Royal Institute, and at most some other exchanges of interests would be carried out later. However, the ownership of the power that Fengzi took away itself is a big problem. At the engagement party, it should have been handed over to Tian'en by the Institute of Physics, but Fengzi later defected, so whether it still belongs to Tian'en is a question worth discussing. An Hong now lets him get involved in this chosen power whose ownership is unclear. After getting it, he will take it for himself without thinking twice, which will undoubtedly cause greater disputes. However, even if An Hong was told this, the emperor would not take back his decision, and the Institute of Physics might even accept the matter for the sake of the royal family's face.
After all, Tian'en has been pushing the royal family a little too far, and the lack of help from scientists makes people feel uneasy. In the final analysis, so-called scientists can be called human weapons, the purest form of violence. Power without the support of absolute violence is like a castle in the air and cannot withstand any impact. Tian'en has always wanted to abolish the royal family, and the biggest obstacle to achieving a republic is not the royal family itself, but the major research institutes that have formed a united front with the cabinet. If it weren't for these people, Tian'en alone would have been able to overthrow the royal family by force. Therefore, it is understandable that An Hong is so eager to increase his control over the Royal Academy of Sciences and recruit the Chosen Ones. In the end, the third-level person had no choice but to agree, and left the dormitory with a worried look on his face. Not long after he left, Hu Cheng, who had almost never gone out since the Feng family tragedy, came to Weiyang Pavilion and met An Hong. Facing this prime minister, An Hong's expression relaxed a little. He was very clear about Hu Cheng's position and knew that as prime minister, what he wanted most was stability. As long as there were no major disturbances in this central city and the two major districts of east and west during his term of office, that would be his greatest pursuit. Removing the emperor from the throne is the biggest instability, and after the great constitutional monarchy in the new century, the royal family’s power was indeed stripped away to almost nothing, and it almost became a mascot. Many people, both in the cabinet and in the research institute, are still happy to see the existence of such a mascot, which is why they have always rejected the Tian'en Republic. "The list of people going to the East Region to quell the rebellion has basically been finalized. Your Majesty, I'm sorry that I can't cram in those people that you asked me to do privately. Tian'en and various research institutes have already allocated fixed shares, and there is no way to make more places." Hearing this, An Hong's originally relaxed and gentle pig face instantly became ugly again. "You mean no one from the Royal Academy of Sciences will come out this time? What do you mean? The Academy of Sciences is not a research institute, so there are no scientists in it?" Hu Cheng shook his head and said. "Of course that's not what I meant, Your Majesty. It's just that most of the casualties this time were from Tian'en's faction. Giving such a small number of positions to the cabinet and the research institute is already the limit of what they can accept. If people from the Royal Academy of Sciences are also dispatched, they will definitely not be able to accept it." "So what about the royal family? Should the royal family be abandoned? When the Great Constitution was established, under the witness of the spiritual and material towers, what promises did you make to the An family? You said that as long as mankind does not perish, the An family will always be the emperor of mankind!" Seeing that An Hong was obviously a little agitated, there were too many things that irritated the emperor these days, so Hu Cheng knew that he had to calm him down. The reason why in a world where there are super humans like scientists who can crush the group as individuals, they can still accept having an ordinary person as emperor above them is that there must be a reason for the emperor to exist. "Your Majesty, no one in the underground will forget the promises made to the An family during the Great Constitutional Period. Don't worry, the An family will always be the emperor. Tian En and his people have some other ideas, but they have never been recognized by the mainstream. The quota of personnel this time cannot be increased by the Royal Academy of Sciences, but after the rebellion is over, the cities in the East Region will also need to be rebuilt and new leaders will be arranged to form a government. At that time, the royal family can participate in the formulation of this list."
After hearing this, An Hong's expression eased a little. Although these central politicians have never attached much importance to local political positions, it is not a bad thing to be able to get a share of such a cake after the rebellion is quelled. "If that's the case, then I respect the cabinet's opinion. The people of the Eastern Region are in dire straits. The central government must take strong action to deter those villains with ulterior motives and maintain the foundation of the rule. Are all aspects ready? Can we set off smoothly in two weeks?" "It's less than two weeks, Your Majesty. Judging from the current preparations and progress, the scientists who are going to suppress the rebellion should be able to set off a week earlier." Hearing this news, An Hong couldn't help but feel excited. "Okay! When the time comes, I will arrange the ceremony and personally come to see them off!" From the beginning to the end, neither Hu Cheng nor An Hong thought of the possibility of failure in suppressing the rebellion. Those specially recruited students who caused trouble in the local area, even if they are extremely talented, are only at the second level at most. Each city in the central government has sent out at least one third level person. It is like a lion fighting a rabbit, and they are using all their strength without holding back at all. The Sun, the only city with a chance of escaping, also sent out three chosen ones, and they were ready to slaughter the entire city of Sun and take it back. Therefore, they can now feel at ease and divide the interests of the East Region in advance after the situation has been pacified. (End of this chapter)
