Chapter 511

927.m41, holy Tara, Imperial Palace

Li Mingchu rises. The air here seems to be full of smoke.

In preparation for the Senate meeting in Japan and China, the slave workers had lit the incense burners in the upper corridor and the entrance hall, as well as those in the niches next to the hero trail.

The huge lead windows of those niches miraculously survived the rolling shelling of Tara's siege, and they have watched the solemn courtyard behind the eternal gate for a hundred centuries.

The incense burner as like as two peas, a wooden candle and a wooden cloud of rose grey, are the sacred incense of the state religion. It is said that it smells like the immortal and holy nature of the emperor's eternal body.

Cleopatra Lars can't testify to this. Although he is a representative of the trial court, he can apply and may even be allowed to attend the national church ceremony at the foot of the golden throne, but he has never had this heart.

He is not interested in honor, even sacred honor.

What interests him and fascinates him is how to make the heresy more painful destruction, and the opportunities provided by the death of heretics.

But as a great teacher of radicalism, he has to deal with everything he is not interested in here.

Since the end of Horus rebellion and the emperor entered the eternal throne, the power of the human Empire has been transferred to the high Lord parliament composed of high lords, namely the Imperial Senate.

As the highest authority of the Empire, the Senate is composed of 12 most powerful people of human race. This organization coordinates and manages various political decisions within the Empire in the name of the emperor. Its own responsibility is to interpret and implement the will of the emperor, especially after the emperor can no longer directly rule his empire.

However, the territory of the human empire is too large for the high Lord Council to cover all aspects, but their decisions still determine the fate of mankind.

Since the era of apostasy, the seats of the Imperial Senate have remained basically unchanged. Except for the fluctuation of personnel in some crises, the seats are stable in other cases.

Each seat is entrusted to powerful experts or leaders of an imperial organization. Factors such as tradition, trickery, flattery, retaliation and common interests intertwined to determine who will be in power and who will lose the election. The status of some organs is too important, and their absence from the Senate is unreasonable. These are the nine permanent seats.

Among them, the chief of the Ministry of the interior, the Pope of the state religion, the forging general, the Minister of justice, the navigator ambassador, the president of the Xingju court, the great mentor of the assassin court, the abbot of the Xingyu court, and the representative of the trial court.

The nine seats are sacred and inviolable, and there are few vacancies in imperial history. Usually, a successor can be elected within the organ soon after the death of the previous term.

However, the candidates for some seats are special. For example, the navigator ambassador is open to any member of the navigator family in power. In order to ensure the balance of power, the strong family will also be served as ambassadors by members of the weak family. This is to ensure that the strong family of the navigator will not dominate their special political struggle system and form a power monopoly.

In addition to the nine seats, there are three non permanent seats elected from the powerful leaders of the Imperial factions, including:

Sun Lord, commander in chief of the astral army, high-ranking admiral of the Empire, bishop of the national church Tara church, combat nun, commander of the forbidden army, Minister of imperial archives, spokesman of the Charter Captain (representative of the merchant ronin).

Strangely, the astatic order, an important military force of the Empire, almost never had a place in the high Lord's parliament, except kiriman himself, the first imperial regent, and the current head of the battle of the imperial fist.

It also involves a cold knowledge - because primordial kiliman has served as regent, the speaker of the high Lord's parliament will also be named "Robert kiliman". Although it is to commemorate the primordial who rebuilt the Empire, it sometimes makes people laugh and laugh.

It seems that kiliman intended astat to be absent from the supreme power of the Empire, because as the elite military force of the Empire, although it is outside the parliament, when the empire is in crisis, others will have to seek the help of Star Warrior leaders, while some people think that star fighters were rejected in order to implement the idea of the Tara Parliament, The original war council excluded astat.

Kiriman himself believes that, as stated in the astat Scripture, star soldiers serve mankind, not rule mankind.

As a grand judge, Cleopatra Lars agrees with this very much.

The representative of the trial chamber is the voice of the trial chamber in the imperial high-ranking Parliament. Although this position will not bring more power than the great judge, it is indeed a powerful support to maintain its own supreme power because of the impact of this position at the highest level of power.

Court representatives are nominated from among the grand judges of the various court departments located in Tara, and judges who have fulfilled this duty will be designated as grand judges of Tara descent.

In addition, it is not uncommon for several Thai judges to share the position of representative of the trial chamber at the same time, and a Thai judge can serve in the high Lord's parliament for a maximum term of five years, after which he must resign.

Cleopatra Lars has been in this position for four years and will soon be in office. In the future, he has a grand plan to hunt heresy.

But now, he still has to deal with these annoying chores.

On the morning of the first ray of sunshine, he entered the inner palace through the Xiwei gate, and then followed the corridor behind the high garden and dawn wall to the chapel behind the cloister, where he made a brief prayer in the sink.

Cleopatra is not a man of good face. He is a man of faith, but this is not the reason why he prays every day.

He went to pray because he knew, or at least he knew quite well, that at least a dozen agents from other institutions or camps were staring at him day and night.

It's easier to make sure he's seen doing what he should do than to waste manpower cleaning out the agents and eyes and ears every day.

This is the daily life of divine Tara.

Let his opponents work hard. It's not a big deal to play some plays.

Cleopatra has been doing this all her life.

So he is doing what others want him to do. As a big judge, he should attend all meetings, whether formal or informal.

He should behave modestly, he should not express any cruel or bloodthirsty desire, and his opponents often acquiesce that the representatives of the trial court must have these in their hearts.

Since the assassin's court rioted thousands of years ago, high lords often think that the trial court may be the second institution to riote in Tara.

Especially at the end of the 41000 year when the conflict was deepening, the trial court did a lot of things that they thought were very unusual.
