"Your loyalty has never been mine, but the benefit I can bring to you. Just like Royce back then, you piled all kinds of treasures on the feet of my sculptures, knelt down every day, and shouted slogans, is that loyalty? No, that's not, it's not me that you bow down to, and it's not me who is faithful. You bow down to your own greed, the greed of your heart. Your loyalty has been given to your desires, not to me. ”

Qin Zheng's words contained terrifying anger.

His voice echoed through the halls, tapping at the hearts of those men.

"You fear death, so you bow to me. When one day, people put swords on your necks and give better conditions, and you will not hesitate to betray the Galactic Empire? Your loyalty is worthless, disgusting and disgusting. What you have done is a desecration of this word. ”

Qin Zheng stepped down from the podium and walked in front of the young man, condescendingly, looking down on the poor man.

The terrible feeling of oppression made the other party's body tremble involuntarily, and made the other party collapse uncontrollably to the ground.

"It's not like that." The young man shook his head, wanting to deny Qin Zheng's words, "We are loyal, we love you more than anything in the world, you can't treat us like this??" How much have we done for your great deeds? We just want to keep the wealth we have created ourselves, what's wrong with us? ”

"Is your loyalty a disobedience to the law I have made? Your loyalty is to defraud the Galactic Empire's funds, and even go so far as to make up for it in the project?? I'm curious, what kind of loyalty is this?? When you kill me for profit one day, you can call it loyalty, right? ”

Qin Zheng's words made the young man's face pale.

He opened his mouth and couldn't say a word, only shook his head and repeated the same words.

"Nope! We are loyal, we are loyal. ”

"Facts speak louder than words, what you have done is betraying me, betraying the Galactic Empire, no matter how nice you say, facts are facts. I have taken pity on you, and I hope that you can stop here, and I hope that you can understand my true good intentions and choose to build human civilization with me. I desperately hope that you will have lofty beliefs and great ideals, but you do not. ”

"You have only a greedy heart, a heart that does not know what loyalty and faith are, and you feel that you can play with those disgusting tricks in my empire, and whitewash your disgusting deeds with rhetoric. I tell you, never be delusional. The empire will never recognize the succession, and anyone who crosses this red line will be considered treason. ”

"A loyal man does not take the words of his monarch as air, and loyalty is never proved by words, but by deeds. If loyalty is not pure and absolute, then it is not loyalty. My position will always be that of the people of the Empire, that of the human race, and that you have gone against my original intentions, traitor. ”

Qin Zheng's voice struck everyone's hearts like a giant hammer.

The word traitor echoed in the halls of the council.

Many of the parliamentarians and officials present turned pale.

Many people think that the abolition of the inheritance system will definitely be able to find a way to get around.

But who would have thought that the Holy Emperor would be so resolute to completely block all openings and release wealth into society.

"Whoever they are, the wealth they create belongs to human society, and they can enjoy it to the fullest during their lifetime, and after they die, it flows back into society and is acquired by other talented people. Whoever dares to stop this process is a traitor, an enemy of the Galactic Empire, and everyone will be punished.

Qin Zheng's words made everyone's hearts awe-inspiring, and this was the first time he had openly discussed the issue of inheritance.

It was also the first time that he publicly expressed his absolute determination to abolish the inheritance system.

The Galactic Empire must not follow the path of the Human Alliance.

Many people may feel that wealth cannot be inherited, so it cannot effectively stimulate people to accumulate wealth.

But throughout the ages, how many people really care about their offspring!!

People care more about themselves.

Especially when the welfare of the empire is increasing day by day.

Spending in areas such as universal health care and education is gradually weakening the role of households.

Children do not need to rely on their parents, but are able to live on the welfare of the empire and receive a quality education.

Qin Zheng has long been planning social projects to promote children to no longer rely on their parents.

Every child born gets enough interest-free loans.

Let them be able to arrange their lives independently, arrange their own lives, and also be able to avoid the harm done to them by some irresponsible parents.

Their expenses in early childhood will be repaid in adulthood without the need for parental giving.

And the only thing parents can give is their love.

This initiative will allow children to gain independence from an early age.

If there are enough independent people, this society can be more harmonious.

When children do not need the material support of their parents, then the relationship between them will move towards equality in the true sense.

All classes can talk to each other on an equal footing in a true sense, and human society will usher in real prosperity.

The abolition of the inheritance system also has another important effect, that is, so that the empire will not collapse because of the distribution of wealth.

The accumulation of wealth in the interstellar age is a thousand, ten thousand, and a hundred million times more terrifying than that of the industrial age.

The lower strata will be forced to feed a large number of unproductive and incompetent people because of the distribution system of the empire.

The more technology develops, the stronger the Matthew effect becomes.

Once a certain threshold is crossed, the rate of accumulation of wealth exceeds the rate of accumulation of labor.

Let's say a family's wealth is trillions.

Use the money to invest.

Even if you can only earn 1/10000 a year, or even 1/10,000.

The former can reach a billion in revenue, and the latter also has hundreds of millions in revenue.

That family's wealth will grow more and more, and it will not be able to spend it all.

And many more people are just tired of living.

Doing nothing all day long, and in the end there is nothing.

And in the interstellar age, trillions are not something unimaginable wealth.

As long as you are adventurous enough, you can accumulate wealth quickly.

People from different walks of life will be frighteningly separated over the course of a few generations.

In addition, people with money can use the resources at hand to extend their lives.

Within a thousand years, the Empire will have the same problems as the Human Alliance.

The gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and the money of the upper class cannot be spent, and the whole family does not have to work, and it is over after accepting the offerings.

The lower classes will have nothing but daily work and cheap entertainment.

At that time, it will definitely be another beautiful moment to set off fireworks.

Add to that the fact that people will be able to climb up the ladder as time goes on.

At the time of the rise of the empire, as long as you are bold and dare to play interstellar trade, you can earn wealth in just a few years that others can't earn in a few lifetimes.

When the empire enters a period of stability, there are many giant enterprises, and the routes of every planet are saturated, and it enters the Red Sea competition period, and ordinary people are not qualified to enter the track at all.

Abolishing the inheritance system, even during the period of stability, can give people an opportunity to cross the class barrier.

It can also allow society to be fully competitive.

The opportunity is there.

Either Caesar or nothing.

The winner is a bar dancer, the lights are bright and green, and she is so cool that she loses contact.

The loser goes home and nibbles on a cold can of ant cow.

The young man's body trembled, and his eyes showed despair.

Everyone felt that the Holy Emperor would definitely not do things perfectly.

After all, the Galactic Empire still needs these families to promote development.

What's more, all the people who occupy the top ecological niche of power are his old subordinates.

If such a system is implemented, it will inevitably meet with opposition and even lead to instability in the regime.

But who would have thought that the other party's will was so firm.

The people who were taken away just now were not only those family magnates, but also some old people from the era of the base or when the empire was just being established.

Thinking that there was no way he could escape the purge, the young man looked up and smiled maniacally.

"You're a tyrant, you're a disgusting dictator, we believe in you, but you repay us like this!! Do you think you'll be able to make it? Stop dreaming. ”

What a blasphemy, what an offense.

Such a mouthful is not inferior.

Everyone present was stunned and shocked.

The many onlookers of the empire were uncontrollably angry.

Is this the loyalty of this guy?

"Your Majesty is really not wrong, they have no loyalty at all."

"Loyalty will not be contrary to the yin."

“.”

Young people can also hear the talk.

But there was no scruple on his face.

"You are an out-and-out tyrant, a dictator, a war criminal, how many people have died because of you. You don't deserve it."

"The disobedient will not be forgiven." Before the young man could say a word, the janissary next to him broke the young man's legs and made him kneel on the ground.

The great pain made the young man pale and screamed.

The Praetorian raised his halberd.

The young man felt the cold killing intent, and the little courage he had just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"No, I was wrong.,"

Before he could finish speaking, the guard slashed down.

The heavy halberd made a popping sound in the air.

Wield his halberd in full view of everyone and cut off his head.

Red blood spurted out.

The young man's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

There were alarmed voices from members of parliament and officials.

They retreated one after another in fright, their eyes full of fear.

There was also an uproar among the people.

Qin Zheng stood there calmly, looking at the corpse that had lost its head, and his expression did not change at all.

What makes them feel entitled to offend?

Is it because I haven't stayed in Xuanyuan for a long time?

Or is it that the long-term trampling of the laws of the empire has bred arrogance in their hearts?

"Drag the body out."

In a few moments, a team of cleaners in work uniforms trotted over.

They pack the body, then wash the blood, dry it, and spray it with a deodorizer.

The floor was still smooth and tidy, as if nothing had happened just now.

Juba and the others looked at everything that had just happened with complicated expressions.

They suddenly felt that they had returned to the moment when the empire had just been established, and in order to ensure the purity of the empire, Qin Zheng went on a killing spree.

"Now go ahead." Qin Zheng swept through everyone, and his tone was indifferent.

This is an unprecedented storm.

HBT has been secretly collecting intelligence and incriminating evidence, plus Qin Zheng can listen to everyone's voice.

No one has been wrongly convicted, and no one has escaped sanctions.

After the accident just now, those people were no longer stupid enough to provoke the majesty of the emperor.

The Galactic Empire is a dictatorship.

The Holy Emperor has been gone for a long time, and many people have forgotten about it.

I always felt that the Imperial Diet was the most powerful.

And now, Qin Zheng is standing here, telling everyone with his actions that the empire is in charge.

One name after another came out of Qin Zheng's mouth.

Evidence after evidence was laid out.

Each one is irrefutable.

When the meeting ended, more than a third of the meeting members were dragged out.

At the same time, there are also a group of family representatives, which can be called a great earthquake in the political circles of the empire.

But that's just the beginning.

Qin Zheng's return to Xuanyuan Star was not just to deal with these people.

The rectification of the Galactic Empire is all-encompassing.

There are also some rebellions to deal with.

Those families were purged, Qin Zheng didn't think that they would sit still and wait to die, and they would definitely resist.

In the coming period, there may be frequent suppression of rebellions.

Of course, this also has the benefit of letting everyone know the attitude of the Empire.

If there is no bloodshed, no price is paid, then people will always feel that it doesn't matter, that they can challenge the order, that they can challenge the rules.

In addition to the rebellion, there is also the possibility of one assassination after another.

After today's purge, the number of people who want to kill him will surely increase.

But Qin Zheng was fearless, and even had a little expectation.

If those families think that they are the only ones who will play these dirty tricks, then they are thinking too simply.

Qin Zheng had already cultivated the Assassins a long time ago.

But he never activated it, just kept them training and then sealed the Assassins who had completed all the tests.

Now HBT, the intelligence agency known as Black Ice Channel, has been formed.

A vast intelligence network has infiltrated every area of the empire.

Combined with his own ability, he can definitely ensure that every assassination will be completed successfully and quietly.

Those family forces who intend to rebel, cults that rebel against the empire, and those who are not in the interests of mankind as a whole, but who are not easy to move on the surface.

They will all be put on the assassination list.

The storm was coming, but Qin Zheng had already prepared for everything.

At the end of the meeting, everyone's minds were still blank.

There were so many empty seats all at once.

It's just a day.

Those who surrendered to the Empire witnessed this scene, and they finally realized that the Holy Emperor was more than just a mascot.

The Galactic Empire was not established by the charity and benevolence of those civilizations.

It was fought with a sword and a sword.

The foundation of the Imperial Mansion is the corpses of countless creatures.

What happened in the council hall was just an introduction.

But it has already detonated the public opinion of the entire imperial network.

Various online forums, virtual worlds are talking about it.

After the meeting, Qin Zheng returned to the top floor of the Yizheng Building.

He stood by the window, overlooking the whole of Liberty City.

Magnificent buildings stretch all the way to the end of the horizon.

Countless hovercars weave through the steel jungle like schools of fish.

"Your Majesty, Lord Juba hopes to be able to meet you."

A hovering mechanical cherub uttered Saladin's voice.

Saladin, who served as the head of the Praetorian Guard, had been in charge of garrisoning Regulus for all these years.

After Qin Zheng returned, he, Leonidas and Hannibal, the two Praetorian Guards, took turns to protect Qin Zheng.

"Let him in."

"Your Majesty"

Juba walked behind Qin Zheng with two retinues.

Qin Zheng didn't look back, he kept looking at the bustling Freedom City.

"Your Majesty." He knelt down on one knee, a hint of guilt and unease on his face, "This is my dereliction of duty. ”

"It's none of your business, their methods are very secretive, and the empire also needs them to complete the early construction."

Qin Zheng didn't mean to blame Juba.

Those guys' methods of transferring inheritances and grabbing the interests of the empire are too secretive.

Some even have legal names.

It's normal that Jubacha doesn't see it.

His power is there.

Buying and selling, trading, complex equity penetration, and changing agents to control, etc.

"I will look for a suitable opportunity to resign from the post of director of the Imperial Anti-Corruption Bureau and leave it to someone more capable."

Qin Zheng nodded.

"Just do it, it's nice to be an idler. It's time for you to spend some time with your children, your sons probably have grandchildren. ”

It's cruel, but it's reasonable.

There are some suspicions of crossing the river and demolishing bridges.

Juba's ability is there, and no matter how loyal he is, he will not be able to pull those people out, let alone control an increasingly powerful empire.

Continuing to hold this position is only harming others and yourself.

What's more, even without this position, Juba doesn't need to worry about anything now.

Whether it is daily life, illness and retirement, there is protection.

As long as it does not violate the bottom line of Qin Zheng, the treatment of imperial officials after retirement is very good.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Juba clenched his fists and placed his hand on his heart, his tone sincere.

"No, it's me who should thank you." Qin Zheng turned his head and said, "If it weren't for you, the empire wouldn't be so prosperous. Go ahead and live your life and mend the relationship between you and your son. ”

Juba nodded, saluted again, and then got up to leave.

Qin Zheng witnessed his back as he left, revealing a trace of melancholy.

He finally knew why the emperors of ancient times called themselves widows.

When you are at the pinnacle of power, you are doomed to no longer be able to take care of emotions.

Giving these people who followed them in the past a good ending is already the limit.

Qin Zheng shook his head, turned around, and continued to overlook Liberty City.

But his eyes didn't quite fall on the buildings.

This time back, although the movement is big, everything is planned.

The net has long been woven.

All the actions now are just driving away the big fish and letting them fall into their own traps.

Although the wind and waves are strong, everything is still under control.

Qin Zheng's gaze crossed the galaxy easily, he looked at the second expeditionary force that was crossing the starry sky and pursuing the Star Alliance, and said to himself, "The second lighthouse, it's time to activate." ”

He stretched out his hand, and with a swipe out of thin air, something was changed.

The farther away from the lighthouse's range, the more terrifying the subspace storm becomes.

When the Third Expeditionary Force, which was pursuing the Star Alliance, made the leap, the subspace seemed to be boiling.

Even huge battleships shook and trembled in the storm.

Many crew members were worried about whether the battleship would be broken by the crazy Aetheric currents.

Luckily, that didn't happen.

The 3rd Expeditionary Force struggled to cross the storm of darkness.

Every once in a while, the fleet has to leave subspace and enter the real universe to rest.

The massive hull of the Pride of the Empire creaked.

A terrible storm was crashing into the battleship's Geller field, shaking the ship.

The church bells ring every few minutes.

The priests chanted the holy scriptures feverishly and prayed for the blessings of the warships.

While praying to the Emperor, the people worked diligently to maintain the normal operation of the warship.

Especially the staff in charge of the Geller force field, their nerves tense every moment.

The Geller field is the key to safe navigation in subspace.

Once the Geller field is lost, the lurking subspace creeps will swarm in and tear them apart.

In addition to maintaining replacement parts, they also placed tributes in front of the main console, anointed the machinery with holy oil, and appeased the invisible mechanical spirits to make them work hard.

Navigation room.

Several legionnaires served as guards here.

Navigation Supervisor Elfa and his men, restrained inside the mechanical cradle.

The console's myriad of nerve cables connect the back of their heads and spine.

They watched the Aetheric currents with their third eye to make sure the fleet didn't get lost and run aground.

There is still a chance to live if you hit the rocks in the real realm, and even if you die, you can die neatly, without so much pain in the future.

Hitting the rocks in subspace and dying is a luxury.

Soul and flesh will also be tortured forever.

Elfa relaxed his mind and used the eyes of subspace to gaze at the vagaries of the Supreme Heavens.

The Most High Heaven has many things that cannot be described by common sense.

A normal person can make reason collapse and twist into an unspeakable monster with a single glance.

Only they can observe subspace and find the right path from it.

Every moment, every second, there are countless changes in subspace.

Countless strange dimensions and illusions converge, and the slightest carelessness can cause the ship to deviate and appear thousands of light-years away from the target.

Suddenly, a figure burning with golden flames suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and a golden light swept through many realms of subspace like a meteor, passing through one strange dimension and illusory world after another, and falling to a real world.

A safe road emerges from Elfa's vision.

The golden figure dissipated.

Elfa's eyes snapped open, feeling countless needles pierce his head, pores, and soul.

Blood flowed uncontrollably from the eye sockets.

Two shocking streaks of blood were left on his pale face.

"Your Majesty." He cried out in pain.

Several legionnaires rushed in at the first time.

They activate their weapons and are alert to the strange creatures that may appear.

After confirming that it was safe, he came to Elfa's side.

"What happened?" Said a legionnaire.

"Enlightenment, it is the inspiration of His Majesty, and He guides us. Immediately give Captain William the order to get out of subspace. After saying these words, Elfa used all his strength and will.

His eyes widened and he lay in the cradle, gasping.

Several legionnaires glanced at each other, then opened the comms to contact William and Zhanghan.

It's two o'clock now.,If the next chapter can be coded before seven o'clock.,It's estimated that there will be three more today.。

The emperor's ambition is like a torch, shining on the galaxy
