I am reciting the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the interstellar

Yun Nuluo smiled and said, "Chief Quan, wait a moment."

Then he said to Zong Ruo'an: "Young Master Zong, it's all my fault that you are taking so much care of our chief. I usually take care of these things. I forgot to bring a can of coffee for the chief."

Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "It's not Yunluo's fault. Who knew our pampered Master Zong could actually drink this kind of coffee?"

Yunnu Luo covered her mouth and smiled happily.

After she left, Quan Yuxun stopped smiling and asked Zong Ruoan calmly: "Why don't you go home during the New Year? Did you encounter any trouble?"

Zong Ruoan said lazily: "No, I'm just...a little tired. I want to find a place where no one knows me and rest for a few days."

Quan Yuxun looked at him and said implicitly: "...Is it because of Fan's matter?"

Zong Ruoan sighed, put the coffee cup on the low mahogany coffee table in front of him, and said, "Since you asked, I will confess. Yes, it's because of Fan."

He sat up straight, looked at Quan Yuxun's face, and asked seriously: "Yuxun, tell me honestly, do you think the procedures for handling this matter by the Special Security Bureau or His Majesty are correct?"

Quan Yuxun looked at him silently, with no intention of answering.

Zong Ruoan added: "Of course I know that Fan is too big to lose his tail, and I also know that Fan Chengcai is nothing! I have wanted to kill him for a long time! But I can't just kill him just because I want to kill him. He is also Beichen. Citizens of the empire should judge him according to law! Punish him!"

"There is also the head of the Fan family and Young Master Fan. If they are guilty, they should be tried and sentenced by the court, instead of being deprived of their titles with a handwriting issued by His Majesty!"

Quan Yuxun said at this time: "Ruo'an, if you talk to me about the law, I can say that according to the constitution and legal provisions, the emperor does have absolute authority to dispose of the titles below the four great dukes."

"The handwritten letter produced by Special Security Bureau Inspector Huo Yushen is absolutely legal."

Zong Ruoan closed his eyes, "I just don't understand this."

"It's legal, but is it correct? Yu 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 just to limit the imperial power? Why can't you support me? "

Quan Yuxun said calmly: "I can support you in other matters. But this is absolutely not possible."

"Why?"

"You know why."

"...because of your cousin?"

"What else could be the reason?" Quan Yuxun played with the jade-colored coffee cup and said calmly: "No one can bully my daughter, Quan, and still escape unscathed."

"Ruo'an, I understand your admiration for the law, your protection of our aristocratic class, and your restrictions and vigilance on the imperial power. However, we are also human beings and have our own family, relatives and friends. As long as it does not violate the spirit of the law, I must put my family, relatives and friends first, and I believe you do the same."

Zong Ruoan said seriously: "I'm different. I only care about legal justice."

Quan Yuxun smiled: "Really? Then why do you have to have trouble with Fan Chengcai? Did he offend you? Or did he bully your Zong family daughter?"

Zong Ruoan was speechless.

The big reason why he stared at Fan Chengcai 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 he knew Xia Chujian people are his friends.

From this perspective, he is actually not as fair as he thought.

Zong Ruoan was slightly startled.

Quan Youxun smiled slightly and did not press any further. He only said: "Ever since the establishment of the constitutional monarchy, the Senate has been very wary of the expansion of imperial power. However, the absolute power of the imperial power over titles began from the time of the establishment of the constitutional monarchy. After a melee and millions of people died, the result was a compromise between the four parties. If you want to cancel this article, are you prepared to kill millions more, or even tens of millions more?"

Zong Ruoan: "..."

He stretched out his legs, leaned on the armrest of the sofa, supported his head with his hands, and said unwillingly: "...So it's me who is using my arms as a coach?"

"It's not that the mantis is trying to control the car, it's that the time is not yet ripe." Quan Yuxun's voice was soft, and his warm baritone had a soothing slowness.

"Don't worry too much about the ownership of a baron. There shouldn't be any noble territories stationed on Guiyuan Star."

"Take this opportunity to seize the title for the Fan family, and then transfer the new barony to another planet, so that the palace can be completed perfectly."

"To be honest, even our Senate is happy to see this happen."

"You don't know how powerful the Fan family member was in the Senate... It's not until now that the Fan family has been dealt with that his remaining power has truly ceased and joined other families."

"Although I'm not very familiar with Inspector Huo, I have to admit that he won very well this time."

Zong Ruo'an continued to be silent for a long while before saying: "Looking at it this way, my immediate boss does see things more clearly than I do. He knows very well what His Majesty the Emperor is thinking... His Majesty the Emperor needed a knife, so he handed it over."

Quan Yuxun laughed: "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 you can control the Special Security Bureau? , is only military merit enough?"

"You are also the director of the Special Security Bureau, and you are in a position under one person. In your opinion, does Inspector Huo have any violations of the law?"

Zong Ruoan tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Not really. Even a harsh person like me can't think of anything he has done that violates laws and regulations."

Quan Youxun said meaningfully: "This is ability. So Her Royal Highness the Princess has really good intentions in asking you to come to the Special Security Bureau for training. Ruo'an, here, you can learn to be flexible, learn to compromise, and learn how to take advantage of the situation. Achieve what you want to do without any constraints.”

After Quan Yuxun’s enlightenment, Zong Ruoan’s mood gradually improved.

In fact, if you give him enough time, he can come back to his senses.

But with a discerning friend beside him to guide him, he can get out faster and reduce a lot of unnecessary emotional internal friction.

He looked at Quan Yuxun and said with a smile: "As expected of the Qilin son of the Quan family, although you have almost never left the upper echelons of the empire, it turns out that you also know a lot about the people's livelihood at the bottom..."

Quan Yuxun also relaxed his body, crossed his legs, and said lightly: "There are so many people in our Quan clan, but not everyone is rich and powerful."

"That's true. You will be the head of the Quan clan after all." Zong Ruoan raised his coffee cup towards him and said, "I want to learn from you."

Quan Yuxun didn't answer his words. He turned the jade coffee cup in his hand and said with a half-smile, "...aren't you trained according to the standards of the clan leader?"

In order to keep the family's goals consistent and avoid internal strife, the patriarchs of the four nobles must also be the heirs to the title.

Zong Ruo'an smiled bitterly: "My powerful chief, please don't belittle me. You know that our Zong family has a big family, and the big family has an only son, and he is the eldest grandson of our Zong family. He has the same status as you."

Quan Yuxun smiled and said meaningfully: "Really? But he is a posthumous child."

In other words, the eldest son of the Zong clan leader has passed away, leaving only one posthumous son after his death, which is the eldest grandson of the eldest son of the Zong clan.

This person's position is actually quite embarrassing.

Unless the eldest grandson of the eldest son can skip the second generation and directly inherit the title from their grandfather, otherwise, Xuan.

Zong Ruoan remained silent.

He is the eldest son of the second wife of the Zong family. His eldest uncle has passed away. His father is the second eldest son and is married to the eldest princess of the empire.

In the Zong clan, the status of their second brother-in-law had already secretly surpassed that of the eldest brother-in-law.

But Zong Ruoan really didn't want to, and for this reason, he passed over his eldest cousin's position to the throne.

After Quan Yuxun finished speaking, he changed the subject and asked, "Are you really not considering going home for a few days? During the New Year, the Zong clan members will also go to your Zong clan mansion to pay New Year greetings. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess..."

Zong Ruo'an shook his head: "I will go home when the things here are finished. Anyway, we celebrate the New Year every year, so this time is not bad."

"What are you busy with? Do you need my help?" Quan Yuxun asked seemingly casually.

Zong Ruoan was about to speak when he suddenly remembered the confidentiality regulations of the Special Security Bureau and immediately said with a smile: "Anyway, those things are not many, just trivial. I was planning to report to Inspector Huo and ask for a few more manpower. At the moment, I The people on hand are not enough."

Quan Yuxun nodded: "Okay, if you need help, just ask. Whether it's the friendship between the two of us since childhood or the thousands of years of mutual help between our two families, I will never sit idly by."

Speaking of this, Zong Ruoan thought about Fan Chengcai's incident again and sighed: "So, due to emotions and reasons, and the friendship between our two families for so many years, in the end, you still have to side with His Majesty the Emperor and Inspector Huo. ...I am convinced that I lost this battle."

Quan Yuxun knew that Zong Ruoan needed time to resolve the knot in his heart, and had no intention of continuing the topic. He said casually: "How is it here in Mulan City? I only know that there are black truffle wild rhino pigs in the exotic beast forest north of Mulan City. , and the specialty of unicorn beef, but the winter here is really cold.”

Zong Ruoan drank the rest of the coffee and said: "This winter is indeed unusually cold, and because the humanoid slaves in the humanoid plantation rebelled at the end of last year, the harvest of the humanoid plantation in Guiyuan Star this year , it won’t be very good, it will probably only be enough for the royal family, and the nobles may not have quotas.”

Among the five main planets of the Beichen Empire, although Guiyuan is the most remote and backward, the land on Guiyuan is also the most primitive and fertile.

The food and various vegetables cultivated by the humanoid slaves of Guiyuan Star are also the most delicious.

Although the nutritional value is not as good as that of high-grade nutrient solution, it is comparable to that of mid-grade nutrient solution. It greatly exceeds the functions of low-grade nutrient solution and is far beyond the reach of ordinary grains.

Therefore, the nobles of the Beichen Empire have long been accustomed to purchasing their daily food, especially rice and flour, from the humanoid plantations controlled by the royal family.
