Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1193: To quell the rebellion, we only need coordinates (Part )
Zong Ruoan’s words made everyone stunned.

Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan's face was uncertain. He looked at Zong Ruo An and said slowly, "Ruo An, for your mother's sake, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said today."

"Go back and don't get involved in this matter."

Zong Ruoan's mother is the eldest princess of the empire and the emperor's eldest sister, Tan Tai Jin Yu.

It was because she suddenly gave up her right to inherit the throne that the prince who was next in line to her, Tan Tai Hongyuan, succeeded to the throne.

Over the years, Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan has been very generous to Tan Tai Jin Yu and has also given very high treatment to the children born to Tan Tai Jin Yu.

Zong Ruoan stood up and said unyieldingly, "Your Majesty, I am standing here as a member of parliament, not as a relative."

"Your Majesty, why would you damage your image for a mere commoner?"

"Xia Chujian's life is insignificant, but your majesty's eternal reputation is greater!"

What he said was at least quite poignant to Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan.

Because he did not just talk back and refute, but started from the emperor's standpoint and acted in the name of doing what was good for the emperor.

However, Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan was more determined than ever to execute Xia Chujian.

He said calmly: "I have done a lot of things, and this one is not a big deal."

"After I die, what will the fame and honor have to do with me?"

Zong Ruoan: “…”

This is what it means to be unable to tolerate anything.

His cousin Zong Ruoning then said, "Your Majesty, Xia Chujian is a student of our school."

"According to Imperial law, military cadets have certain immunity when they make mistakes."

"I think what Councillor Zong Ruoan said makes sense. If Xia Chujian has committed a serious crime, she should be given a chance to be tried, rather than having Your Majesty punish her in violation of the constitution."

Currently, the only law that is effective for the emperor of Beichen Empire is the constitution.

No other laws are applicable to the emperor.

If everyone thinks that the emperor has violated the constitution, on a small scale, they can disobey the emperor's edict or ask the emperor to revoke his order.

From a broader perspective, it can even directly allow the Beichen Empire to change its emperor.

Anyway, although Tan Tai Hongyuan has no legitimate children, he still has a princess sister, as well as relatives and nephews from his uncles' side.

Theoretically speaking, since Tan Tai Hongyuan is no longer the emperor, the eldest princess is currently the first in line to the throne.

Of course, when the eldest princess married Zong, she had already given up her right to inherit the throne.

Otherwise, Zong Ruoan would have the right to inherit the throne as the next emperor, but he would have to change his surname to Tan Tai.

Now, we can only rely on the old emperor, who is the descendant of Tan Tai Hongyuan’s father.

According to the constitutional order, these people all have the right to inherit the throne, although their ranking is relatively far away.

Zong Ruoning's move hit the snake at its most vulnerable part, which made Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan's eyes flicker.

Cabinet Chief Quan Juntai, the two chairmen of the Senate, and the five military chiefs of staff all nodded and said, "The Constitution is fundamental, and we cannot violate it."

This is an endorsement of Zong Ruoning's words.

The subtext is that if you dare to violate the constitution, we will change the emperor.

Although the cost of changing an emperor would certainly be huge, it is not impossible.

The emperor's ability to surrender cannot be used wantonly.

When the number of people he faces reaches a certain level, such as an army of millions, his ability to make them surrender will not be effective.

But when it reaches that point, it becomes a military coup.

It is not yet time to take that step, and both sides are being very careful not to cross the line.

But this time, Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan attempted to secretly cross the line.

One of the authorities of a constitutional monarchy is to use law to determine the order of succession to the throne.

It is not only the emperor's children who have the right of inheritance.

Instead, the order of inheritance is arranged according to the closeness of the blood relationship to the emperor.

Unless a member of the royal family voluntarily gives up the right of inheritance, such as the eldest princess Tan Tai Jin Yu, the right of inheritance will be erased.

Among the royal family members, in addition to Tan Tai Hongyuan and his own children, there are also his former uncles and brothers, as well as their descendants.

These all have an order of succession.

Anyway, the one in front has died, and the one behind will take over.

in Apple pie order.

Of course, if Tan Tai Hongyuan has another child with the Queen, that child will "jump the queue" and become the first in line of succession.

And so on.

This is also one of the restrictions on imperial power.

When Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan heard this, he felt a surge of anger rising to the sky.

He almost burst into a curse, his fingers trembling as he shouted angrily: "You bunch of traitors!"

“That Xia Chujian, but he knew that my son was the Crown Princess, and he still dared to shoot her!”

"You dare not allow me to kill this rebellious and treacherous person?! What are you all planning? Do you think I don't know?!"

Zong Ruoan said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, we are not against the execution of Xia Chujian, but we are against the execution of her without any trial."

"She's not a member of a terrorist organization, nor is she a traitor. You can't do this." To deal with criminal acts, charges require evidence.

To fight terrorism, we need a list.

But to suppress the rebellion, only the coordinates are needed.

Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan glared at him and thought, if I had known earlier, I would have said that Xia Chu Jian was a member of a terrorist organization and a traitor, and he would have been shot directly...

Why hand it over to the Special Security Bureau?

Just know how to ruin his career!
Feeling confused, Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan glared at Huo Yushen again, thinking that although he was obedient, he was too rigid!
If I had given him advice earlier and shot Xia Chujian as a "terrorist and traitor", wouldn't everything be fine!

Of course Huo Yushen would not give him such advice.

The current situation is just a delaying tactic that Huo Yushen hastily came up with.

As long as Xia Chujian is not shot immediately, there is room for maneuver.

But now it seems that these people are not very helpful.

This Zong Ruoan even gave the emperor a direct "suggestion"...

Huo Yushen tried his luck in his heart.

Zong Ruoning glanced at Zong Ruoan and also felt that there were some things that Zong Ruoan didn't need to say.

He spoke again: "Your Majesty, everyone is very clear about the whole process of Xia Chujian's case."

"Tan Tai Jing was at fault first..."

Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan interrupted him coldly: "No matter how wrong you are, Tan Tai Jing was also the crown princess at that time!"

"Who gave Xia Chujian the courage to shoot at my first-in-line heir?"

"You actually think her disrespectful and unfaithful behavior is not worth being shot on the spot?!"

"Do you still take me seriously?!"

Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan roared and walked into the imperial study with a wave of his sleeves.

Everyone followed in.

Huo Yushen was the last one to come and closed the door of the imperial study.

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan sat down behind the large desk in the imperial study.

On the desk, a young eunuch had already prepared a cup of tea for him and placed it there.

Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan opened the lid of the tea bowl, took a sip, and slammed the teacup heavily on the desk, causing water to splash everywhere.

He didn't care and said grimly: "I have made up my mind!"

"If you object, you will be just like Xia Chujian, born with a rebellious nature!"

This made everyone afraid to speak anymore.

Mecha Master Su Buyan stood behind his father, the high priest Su Yanxing, and kept pulling his father's clothes, trying to get him to intercede.

Su Yanxing vaguely knew that his son had a close relationship with Xia Chujian, but he was not sure what the relationship was.

Noticing his son's actions at this time, he thought for a moment, coughed, and said, "Your Majesty, if you really want to sentence Xia Chujian to death for killing the Crown Princess, you still need to follow the procedure."

"Killing a royal family member, and the first in line to the throne, is a heinous crime. We cannot just execute him."

"Not only should she be sent to a military court, but she should also be handed over to the Holy Temple to see if there are other forces behind her."

When Su Buyan heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.

He wanted his father to help plead for him, not to push Xia Chujian into a deeper pit!
He almost jumped out to speak himself, but Quan Yuxun was one step faster than him.

Quan Yuxun said, "Your Majesty, the reason why you want to execute Xia Chujian immediately is because she does not know the true identity of Tan Taijing. You dare to kill her even if she is the crown princess."

"From this perspective, Xia Chujian is indeed an unforgivable criminal."

"But the question is, what if Xia Chujian already knew Tan Taijing's true identity?"

"If she had known that Tan Tai Jing was not the Queen's daughter, she would have understood that Tan Tai Jing was not a member of the royal family at all, and certainly not the first in line to the throne."

"Not even a noble."

"In this case, she was being hunted by Tan Tai Jing, and she had no choice but to kill him in anger. This was not breaking the law, but was within the law and reason."

Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Does Yu Xun think that Xia Chu Jian knew Tan Tai Jing's true identity before she killed her, and that she was not the Queen's biological daughter?"

"But, even I just learned about this top secret, how did Xia Chujian know it?"

Quan Yuxun bowed and said, "This requires her to be put on trial."

"If we don't put her on trial, who knows what kind of power is behind her, and she's shot directly, her loved ones might be sad and her enemies might be happy... She's fallen into someone else's trap!"

It is obvious that Quan Yuxun's strategy, like Huo Yushen's, is to first dissuade the emperor from the idea of ​​executing Xia Chujian immediately.

As long as the execution is not immediate, there is still time to operate.

The next step is to find evidence to prove that she has long known that Tan Tai Jing is not the Queen’s biological daughter.

This would prove that when she killed Tan Tai Jing, she was consciously killing an imposter and did not intend to kill the Crown Princess.

As long as this is proven, Xia Chujian will be acquitted immediately.

Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan hesitated.

Of course, what made him hesitate was not the "reason" said by Quan Yuxun, Zong Ruoning, Zong Ruoan and Su Yanxing.

Instead, these people came to see him at the same time and stopped him from killing Xia Chujian immediately!
What does this mean?
Is Xia Chujian very important to these people?
Or do these people simply not like the idea of ​​an emperor like them exercising the power of life and death? !
