Ying Wuxin nodded: "...I'll be nineteen by the end of the year."
"Your Majesty, I am grateful for remembering my birthday."
Tantai Hongyuan laughed heartily: "Wuxin, your name is Wuxin, are you also Wuxin?"
A smile flashed across Ying Wuxin's face, and he whispered, "A name is just a name. What does it have to do with me?"
"It is His Majesty's grace that I can live well in my aunt's house. Otherwise, an orphan like me who was exterminated would not be welcomed anywhere."
Tan Tai Hongyuan allowed her to inherit the family title when she was still a baby, so that she would have confidence even if she grew up in her aunt's house.
The Ying family was wiped out, but the Ying family's wealth was still there, sealed up by the Su family. After she turned 18 at the end of last year, it was officially given to her to control.
Tan Tai Hongyuan nodded. "That's as it should be. Your Ying clan hasn't done anything outrageous, and you were the victim. As long as one of the Ying clan survives, your title will be passed down."
Ying Wuxin knelt down again, and this time, her gratitude was more sincere and not as dull as before.
Tantai Hongyuan also felt it and said with a smile: "Your Ying family was also one of the four great barons in the past, and was the best among the barons."
Ying Wuxin knows the family history.
The Ying family has been the trusted guards of the Su family for generations.
A thousand years ago, Ying obtained the position of baron because he saved the then head of the Su family.
The previous heir to the Ying family was Ying Wuxin's father, and he was the personal bodyguard of Su Yanxing's sister Su Shuangluo.
Unexpectedly, his father did not inherit the title in the end, but he inherited it himself.
Ying Wuxin recalled the family history he had learned and felt depressed again.
She whispered, "Not anymore. But I've grown up now, and I hope I can restore the glory of my ancestors and let the Ying family return to the position of the four great barons."
Tantai Hongyuan glanced at her and suddenly said, "Have you seen the latest trending searches on Starnet?"
The hottest trending search on Starnet just now was about the struggle between aristocratic pilots and civilian pilots within the military.
It used to be only a legend on the Star Network, but now it is laid bare before everyone.
Ying Wuxin's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Your Majesty, are you referring to the trending searches about the three noble pilots represented by Chu Qingchen, Ji Nabi, and Lu Luyu, who surrounded and killed civilian pilots?"
Tantai Hongyuan nodded and said with emotion, "I really didn't know that the nobles had such a huge influence in the military..."
Ying Wuxin smiled and said calmly, "I think that civilian pilot is in great danger."
"She dared to kill a noble as a commoner. Even if it was self-defense, she wouldn't be able to stand up to the law, right?"
Tantai Hongyuan asked with great interest, "How do you say that?"
Ying Wuxin said, "According to the laws of our Beichen Empire, nobles who kill civilians can enjoy certain criminal immunity."
"But if a commoner kills a noble, there is almost no chance of getting away with it."
"However, this is on the battlefield, so there may be exceptions."
She looked at Tan Tai Hongyuan with her beautiful eyes, and a hint of blush appeared on her pretty face.
"Your Majesty, if these three nobles are truly guilty of treason, they can be stripped of their titles."
"As long as they are stripped of their titles, they are just commoners."
"A civilian pilot who kills a civilian pilot who attacks him in self-defense is not criminally guilty under the criminal law."
Tantai Hongyuan laughed heartily and said, "Wuxin is really smart!"
"Exactly what I thought!"
"But Chu is a viscount, and Ji and Lu are both barons. Wuxin wonders, how should I deal with them?"
Ying Wuxin blurted out, "Of course, the title will be taken away! The head of the family and the core members of the family will all be executed!"
There was a glint of hatred in her eyes.
To her, the Chu and Lu families were both collateral damage, and the one she really wanted to deal with was the Ji family.
Her aunt had told her that after investigating the Ying family's massacre for so many years, she had only found out that it was related to the Ji family on Kanli Star's satellite, Kanwei Qi.
Tantai Hongyuan looked at her deeply and said, "Okay, since you really want to do this, I will definitely help you!"
So the next day, Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan issued an edict, announcing that the titles of the Chu, Ji and Lu families would be immediately stripped away.
At the same time, he ordered the Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau, Huo Yushen, to send out the Inspection Department and the execution team to confiscate the properties of the three families and immediately execute the heads of the three families and the core members of the families.
At the same time, adult men and women who were not core members of these three families were dismissed from their jobs in various state institutions, including the military, the cabinet, and the Senate.
Underage men and women from these three families are not allowed to join the military, cabinet, senate, or work in government agencies at all levels within three generations.
Xia Chujian only stayed in the solitary confinement room for three days. When he came out, he found that the situation had changed suddenly.
Three more noble families were stripped of their titles and their property was confiscated.
Among them, the Ji and Lu families were both barons, and the Chu family was a viscount.
With the addition of three more titles, many of the empire's upper elites naturally started a life-and-death struggle, and no one cared about the lives of these three families anymore.
Pei Zijing stood at the door of the confinement room, looked at her with emotion, and said, "Xia Chujian, your case has been investigated."
"What happened on Morizawa Planet has nothing to do with you. It's all the fault of Chu Qingchen, Zhuo Hanchen, Ji Nabi, and Lu Luyu."
"His Majesty the Emperor has stripped the Chu, Ji, and Lu families of their titles. The heads and core family members of these three families have all been executed."
"The Special Security Bureau raided their homes, and their people withdrew from various state agencies."
"And within three generations, their people will not be allowed to work in state institutions."
