Warhammer: My Brother Is the Emperor.

Chapter 83 Convicting the pony
In the golden palace, the majestic colossus, the solemn auditorium, in the first ray of golden sunlight in the morning, the golden giant gave an order, and the trial began.

As the prosecutor, the Minister of Justice gave a loyal eagle salute to the emperor, and took the lead in issuing charges:

"Under the light of the emperor, justice must lead to severe punishment. I accuse the commander of the No.15 Legion, Magnus, of fornicating aliens. He should be dismissed as heresy and rebellious and punished with excommunication!"

Magnus was about to argue, but was held down by two Colossus puppets, and it was not time for him to defend.

The Emperor calmly said, "Where's your evidence? Mr. Prosecutor!"

The Minister of Justice took out a stack of papers and said loudly: "After the attack, His Majesty sent the imperial army to investigate the matter. What I have in my hand is the investigation report of the imperial army. Please allow me to read it!"

Emperor: "Yes!"

Said and the Emperor were expressionless. They had already seen the conclusion of the investigation, and the content was almost the same as the deduction. It was nothing more than that the pony was fooled by Tzeentch, attacked the Eldar, and gathered the conditions to attack Terra.

The only slight difference is that Tzeentch has been replaced by a certain warp alien.

After the reading, the Minister of Justice was filled with righteous indignation and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, aliens are the first of the three evils of the empire, and they are the targets of the Great Expedition sworn to eliminate them. Now there are people who have fornicated aliens, accepted their blasphemous knowledge, and caused irreparable damage to the sacred throne world. Severe punishment!"

The Emperor of God did not immediately agree, but asked, "Is this the only evidence you have?"

The Minister of Justice shook his head: "Of course more than that, the Forbidden Army dug up more shocking content as the investigation deepened!"

The emperor said calmly: "Talk about it!"

The Minister of Justice had been prepared for a long time, took out a stack of photos, enlarged them on the screen in front of the palace through projection, and introduced at the same time:

"This is a photo taken after the Imperial Army took control of the home planet of the No.15 Legion——Prospero!"

"Everyone, please look at this kind of alien. They are called guardian elves by the locals, but they exude a filthy aura. When the nun of silence approaches, they will be purified by the aura of the emperor!"

Everyone in the audience exclaimed, Qianzi actually treats the enemy of mankind as a pet, it is simply too blasphemy, common sense knows that this kind of planet cannot escape the punishment of the extinction order.

The Minister of Justice continued: "As we all know, the Forbidden Army and the Sisters of Silence are collectively known as the Emperor's Catch, and only the filthy and evil spirits will be purified!"

"The Legion of the Thousand Sons coexists with the filth and evil, which means that they have been polluted and desecrated the sacred and pure expedition! With the wishes of mankind, they must be severely punished!"

After the Minister of Justice finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the Emperor and returned to the prosecutor's seat. The Emperor calmly said:

"Magnus, do you need to defend yourself against the prosecutor's charges?"

Magnus sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Idiots, how can knowledge be guilty of blasphemy? It is the human heart that is guilty!"

Then he raised his head, looked up at the tall golden-armored giant, and said sadly in an aria-like tone:
"My respected and great father, do you remember that before the reunion, you told me that there is no unrecognizable thing in the world, and human beings can recognize and use laws..."

Magnus talked eloquently, explaining the idea that knowledge is innocent, and fully demonstrated the eloquence and eloquence of scholars.

Said was so surprised that he glanced at the emperor. The point of view that Xiao Ma said was the dialectical materialism of Ma Jing in the previous life, which coincided with the truth of the empire.

Knowledge theory holds that human beings can recognize and utilize all laws, limited by material conditions, it is bound to go through a long process of understanding the laws, but the understanding will be completed eventually.

However, just like materialism, the Warhammer Universe does not have the soil for the existence of knowlism. Some knowledge is unobservable and unrecognizable by humans. Once it crosses the boundary, it is bound to be backlashed.

Which of the four gods of chaos can be observed by humans?Which one can be recognized by humans?Which one can be touched by humans?
Even Said didn't dare to send a fleet into the Eye of Terror to satisfy his curiosity about the demon world!

However, the Emperor remained calm and asked, "Magnus, do you admit to the prosecutor's charges against you?"

Magnus shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I don't admit all the accusations! What evidence do you have to prove that the information on the Eldar rituals came from aliens? Is it because my planet is full of aliens?"

"No, Your Majesty, from a judicial point of view, the prosecutor only provided circumstantial evidence, which cannot prove that I had an affair with aliens!"

The Minister of Justice got up and said: "It is because of your blasphemous ritual that the Eldar can activate the weapons of the golden age and desecrate Terra and the palace. How can you justify it?"

Magnus sighed:
"I admit that my planet has been mismanaged, and the disposal is another matter, but it has nothing to do with this disaster, let alone prove that I have colluded with aliens!"

The prosecutor asked again: "Where did the sacrilege ceremony come from?"

The Thousand Sons replied calmly: "It came from an abandoned Eldar ship. The original intention was to cure the blood mutation of the Legion. However, I made a mistake in my judgment and caused a tragedy!"

"According to your statement, every defeated commander is a collaborator? This is wrong. My most serious crime is nothing more than ineffective command, and it is not to the extent of fornicating aliens!"

There was an uproar in the auditorium. This is a public trial, and the evidence must be convincing to convict Magnus, otherwise the army will be unstable and the country will be in danger.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that pony has an affair with aliens, if there is insufficient evidence to handle it lightly, a bad precedent will be set;

Countless pairs of eyes stared at the Emperor, wanting to see how he would respond.

However, the emperor remained calm, as if everything was under control, when a puppet walked in and handed a stack of documents to the prosecutor.

The prosecutor's eyes lit up, he nodded slightly to Said, then got up, and said in a loud voice:
"Mr. Magnus, you said you found the ritual on an abandoned Eldar hulk, can you accept my more detailed inquiries!"

Magnus nodded: "No problem, Your Excellency the Prosecutor!"

The prosecutor then asked a series of details such as the time, place, and the people around him. Magnus kept his expression on and answered fluently. Finally, the prosecutor yelled angrily:

"you are lying!"

"Through the interrogation of the Thousand Sons Legion under your command, the time, place, characters, weapons, etc. are all wrong. The ceremony was not found on the Eldar ship at all!"

Magnus laughed loudly: "A statement from the Thousand Sons Legion? They are thousands of light-years away, imprisoned by the puppet of His Royal Highness, how can they send the statement in time!"

The prosecutor sneered: "Who told you, you are the only one who came to Terra in the Thousand Sons Legion!"

Magnus was stunned, and Said told him that the Emperor only wanted him alone, subconsciously thinking that the Thousand Sons did not come to Terra.

The prosecutor continued to make up the knife: "I still have the interrogation video of the remaining [-] thousand sons, do you want to release it and have a look!"

Trading knowledge with friendly creatures in the subspace is commonplace within the Thousand Sons. Almost every Thousand Sons raises guardian elves. When communicating with Tzeentch, the other Thousand Sons are basically present.

Even without the ritual confession, other "research activities" were enough to incriminate him.

Magnus finally stopped struggling, smiled wryly, and sighed: "I plead guilty, the sins of my legion, I alone bear, don't implicate my children!"

The Inquisitor said nothing, staring at the Emperor, who had completed his task.

The Emperor calmly delivered his verdict:
"According to the Expedition against the Enemy Regulations..."

"The blood of the Thousand Sons is polluted by the alien, and all members are killed! The planet of the Thousand Sons, which is polluted by the alien, accepts the extermination order! Magnus has an affair with the alien and is imprisoned in the palace for life!"

"The above judgment shall be executed immediately, and the court shall be withdrawn!"

　I'm not a big boss of the judiciary, please let the legal details go, but there is no justice in the empire, the judiciary is a fig leaf, in fact it is all politics, it just looks like that
