Chapter 182: Heir to the Title (First Change)
Yun Nuluo smiled and said, "Chief Quan, wait a minute."
He also said to Zong Ruoan, "Zong Shao, you treat our chief a lot, it's all my fault, I usually take care of these things, I forgot to bring a can of coffee that I often drink to the chief."
Quan Youxun smiled and said, "It's not Yunluo's fault, who knew that our pampered Zong Shao could actually drink this kind of coffee?"
Yun Nuluo covered her mouth and smiled happily.
After she left, Quan and Xun smiled and asked Zong Ruoan calmly, "Why don't you go home for the New Year?" Is there something in trouble?"
Zong Ruoan said lazily, "No, it's ...... I'm a little tired, and I want to find a place where no one knows me and rest for a few days."
Quan and Xun looked at him and said implicitly, "...... Is it because of the Fan family?"
Zong Ruoan let out a long sigh, put the coffee cup on the low mahogany coffee table in front of him, and said, "Since you asked, I will also confess. Yes, it's because of Fan's business."
He sat up straight, looked at Quan Hexun's face, and asked seriously, "Hexun, tell me honestly, do you think the procedures of the Special Security Bureau, or Your Majesty, in handling this matter are correct?"
Kwon and Xun looked at him silently, without meaning to answer.
Zong Ruoan said, "Of course I know that the Fan family is no longer in the tail, and I also know that Fan Chengcai is not a thing! I've wanted to kill him for a long time! You can't just kill him because I want to kill him. He is also a national of the Beichen Empire, and he should be judged by the law! Sanction him!"
"There are also the Fan family head and Fan Dashao, if they are guilty, they should also be tried and sentenced by the court, instead of Your Majesty depriving them of their titles with a piece of paper!"
At this time, Quan and Xun said: "Ruo'an, if you tell me about the law, I can say that according to the constitution and the law, the emperor does have absolute power to dispose of titles below the four dukes."
"The piece of paper that Huo Yushen, the inspector of the Special Security Bureau, took out, is absolutely legal."
Zong Ruoan closed his eyes, "I just don't understand this very well."
"It's legal, but is it right? You Xun, you are the chief legal adviser of the Senate, and you are also a gold medal lawyer, isn't what we nobles have done for so many years is to limit the imperial power? Why can't you support me?"
Quan and Xun said calmly, "I can support you in other things. But this thing, absolutely not."
"Why?"
"You know why."
「…… Because of your cousin?"
"What else could it be?" Quan and Xun played with the jade-colored coffee cup, and said calmly, "No one can bully my daughter of the Quan family, and she can get out of the way."
"Ruoan, I understand your respect for the law, the maintenance of our aristocracy, and the restriction and vigilance of imperial power. However, we are also human beings and have our own family, relatives and friends. On the premise of not violating the spirit of the law, I will definitely put my family, relatives and friends first, and I believe you will do the same."
Zong Ruoan said, "I'm different, I only look at the justice of the law."
Kwon and Xun smiled, "Really? Then why do you have to get along with Fan Chengcai? Did he offend you? Or are you bullying your daughter?"
Zong Ruoan was speechless.
There is a big reason why he stared at Fan Chengcai, it was because Fan Chengcai tried to kill Xia Chujian, because he saw with his own eyes how badly Fan Chengcai beat Xia Chujian, and because Xia Chujian was someone he knew and his friend.
From this point of view, he is actually not as fair as he thinks.
Zong Ruoan was slightly stunned.
Quan and Xun smiled slightly, and did not continue to press, but said, "Since the establishment of the constitutional monarchy, the Senate has been very wary of the expansion of imperial power. But the absolute power of the imperial power over the title began at the time of the constitutional monarchy, and was the result of a compromise between the four parties after a scuffle and the death of millions of people. If you want to cancel this, are you ready to die millions, if not tens of millions?"
Zong Ruoan: "......"
He stretched out his legs, leaned on the armrests of the sofa, supported his head with his hands, and said unwillingly, "...... So it's me
The mantis arm as a car?"
"It's not that the mantis arm is the car, it's that the time is not yet ripe." Quan and Xun's voice is light, and the warm baritone has a soothing slowness.
"Don't worry too much about a baron. On the Far Star, there shouldn't be a noble realm stationed in the first place."
"Take this opportunity to give the Fan clan a knighthood, and then grant the new baronial territory to another planet, and you can perfectly collect the palace."
"To tell you the truth, even our Senate is happy to see this happen."
"You don't know how powerful that Fan Senator was in the Senate back then...... It wasn't until now that the Fan family was cleaned up, and his remnants of power really died down and went to another place."
"Although I am not very familiar with that Inspector Huo, I have to admit that he won very beautifully this time."
Zong Ruoan continued to be silent for a while before he said, "Looking at it this way, my top boss really sees it more clearly than me. He knew too well what His Majesty the Emperor was thinking...... His Majesty the Emperor needed a knife, and he handed it over."
Quan and Xun smiled: "That's for sure, otherwise how could he be promoted to marshal within ten years without any background, and then single-handedly control the special security bureau directly under His Majesty the Emperor? Do you think that the only way to control the Special Security Bureau is military merit?"
"You're also the head of the Secret Security Bureau, and you're also in a position under one person. In your opinion, this Inspector Huo, does he have any violations of laws and regulations?"
Zong Ruoan thought about it, shook his head and said, "It's really not, even a harsh person like me can't think of anything he has done anything illegal or illegal."
Quan and Xun said meaningfully, "This is ability. Therefore, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess asked you to come to the Special Security Bureau for training, which is indeed well-intentioned. Joan, here, you can learn to be flexible, learn to compromise, learn how to adapt to the situation, and do what you want to do without any constraints."
After some enlightenment by Quan and Xun, Zong Ruoan's mood gradually improved.
In fact, if he is given enough time, he will be able to relive himself.
But with a discerning friend by his side, he can go out faster and reduce a lot of unnecessary emotional friction.
He looked at Quan and Xun, and said with a smile: "You are worthy of being the Qilin son of the Quan clan, although you have almost never left the upper echelons of the empire, it turns out that you also know the livelihood of the people at the bottom very well......
Quan and Xun also relaxed their bodies, raised their legs, and said lightly: "There are so many people in my Quan clan, and not everyone is extremely rich and powerful."
"That's right, after all, you want to be the head of the Quan clan in the future." Zong Ruoan raised his coffee cup at him, "Learn from you."
Quan Hexun didn't answer his words, turned the jade-colored coffee cup in his hand, and said with a smile, "...... Didn't you train according to the standards of the clan patriarch?"
In order to keep the family's goals consistent and avoid internal friction, the patriarchs of the four nobles will definitely be the heirs of the title.
Zong Ruoan smiled bitterly: "My powerful chief, don't scorn me. You know that our clan has a big house, and the big house has an only son, and he is the eldest grandson of our clan, and he has the same status as you."
Kwon Yo-hun smiled and said meaningfully, "Really? But he's a widow."
In other words, the eldest son of the patriarch of the Zong clan has died, leaving only a posthumous son after death, that is, the eldest grandson of the Zong clan.
This person's position is actually quite embarrassing.
Unless this eldest grandson of the long house can cross the second generation and inherit the title directly from their grandfather, otherwise, hanging.
Zong Ruoan was silent.
He is the eldest son of the second house of the Zong family, his eldest uncle has died, his father is the second, and he is married to the eldest princess of the empire.
In the clan of the clan, the status of their second room has long been secretly surpassed by the long room.
But Zong Ruoan was really unwilling, because of this reason, he crossed the position of the lobby brother to attack the lord.
At the end of the day, he changed the topic and asked, "Are you really not thinking about going home for a few days?" For the New Year, the people of the clan will also go to your clan's mansion to pay New Year's greetings, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess ......is there."
Zong Ruoan shook his head: "When the things here are done, I will go home. Anyway, every
It's the New Year, and it's not bad this time."
"What are you up to? Do you need my help?" Quan and Xun asked seemingly casually.
Zong Ruoan was about to speak, when he suddenly remembered the confidentiality regulations of the Special Security Bureau, and immediately laughed and said, "Anyway, just those things, it's not much, it's trivial, I was about to report to Inspector Huo, and I wanted a few more people. At the moment, I don't have enough people."
Quan and Xun nodded: "Okay, if you need help, just ask." Whether it's the friendship between the two of us since childhood, or the mutual help of our two families over the past 10,000 years, I will not sit idly by."
Speaking of this, Zong Ruoan thought of Fan Chengcai's incident again, and sighed and said, "So, it is reasonable, and the friendship between our two families for so many years, as a result, you still have to stand on the side of His Majesty the Emperor and Inspector Huo...... I was convinced that I had lost this battle."
Quan and Xun knew that Zong Ruoan needed time to resolve the knots in his heart, so he didn't mean to continue the topic, and said casually, "How is Mulan City here? All I know is that the Alien Beast Forest north of Mulan City has black truffle wild rhinoceros and unicorn beef specialties, but the winters here are really cold."
Zong Ruoan drank the rest of the coffee and said, "This winter is indeed unusually cold, and because at the end of last year, the humanoid slaves in the humanoid plantation rebelled, and the harvest of the humanoid plantation in Guiyuanxing this year will not be too good, it is likely that it will only be enough for the royal family, and the nobles may not have a quota." br>
Among the five main planets of the Beichen Empire, although Guiyuan Star is the most remote and backward, the land on Guiyuan Star is also the most primitive and fertile.
The grain and various vegetables cultivated by the bare hands of the Returning Star humanoid slaves also tasted the best.
Although the nutritional value is not as good as that of the high-grade nutrient solution, it can be comparable to the medium-grade nutrient solution, which greatly exceeds the function of the low-grade nutrient solution, and ordinary grains are even more out of reach.
Therefore, the aristocratic class of the Beichen Empire has long been accustomed to buying their daily food, especially rice and flour, from the humanoid plantations controlled by the royal family.
