Xia Chujian shook his head and said, "Not for now."
"Let's go to South Eleven Star and take care of things there first."
Huo Yushen raised his eyebrows and thought, they won’t make a fuss?
Could it be that he had misjudged her?
Then Xia Chujian said, "When I have made new achievements, we will go to the military to settle the accounts together."
The word "always" is particularly effective.
Huo Yushen: "..."
Okay, it’s still the Xia Chujian he is familiar with.
That's right.
Huo Yushen nodded: "Well, there is really no time now."
"I'm ready, how about you?"
Xia Chujian said, "We can set off right away."
Huo Yushen glanced at Xia Chujian and asked for her opinion: "Then let's use the mecha to fly to the wormhole in the star field over to the Southern Cross?"
Xia Chujian asked, "Have there been any interstellar spacecraft sending supplies to the Southern Cross recently?"
Huo Yushen chuckled: "...I temporarily arranged a ship."
Xia Chujian knew that Huo Yushen had already started investigating the "traitor" here.
She asked curiously, "Are you going fishing?"
Huo Yushen said vaguely: "Almost, not completely."
Xia Chujian: “…”
She thought of the traitorous representative who had been sent to the Southern Cross to trade with the Zerg last time and said, "...If it's just for fishing, I can be bait. Don't send your field staff there. Every one of them will die. It's too tragic..."
Huo Yushen lowered his eyes and said, "The bait this time is me."
Xia Chujian hurriedly said, "You can't do that. You'll be targeted by them. I'm more suitable. The key is that I won't be marked by them!"
Huo Yushen was in a complicated mood.
If it were in the past, he would have agreed without hesitation.
Because in his mind, Xia Chujian was always a relatively capable subordinate, so of course he had to "make the best use of him."
But after going through so much, he already felt a little reluctant...
However, Huo Yushen quickly adjusted his mentality, suppressed his emotion, nodded, and said, "Then I'll trouble you. Don't worry, I will give you a commendation this time too!"
Xia Chujian was most interested in military merits, and immediately asked, "Can these two military merits be combined?"
Huo Yushen: "..."
The increasingly familiar Xia Chujian is back again.
He chuckled and nodded, "Sure. Military merit is military merit, there's no such thing as stacking or offsetting. No matter where you achieve your merit, as long as it's military merit, it will be counted on you."
After a pause, Huo Yushen continued, "The Beichen Empire has always had the most generous rewards for military merit."
"Only when military merits have accumulated to a certain level can one be granted a title."
"Look, a few years ago, after some nobles were stripped of their titles, the newly awarded nobles were ranked according to their military merits."
Xia Chujian was curious after hearing this and asked, "What about you, Marshal Huo? With your military achievements, can you even give it a try, not to mention ordinary nobles, even the four great nobles?"
After she finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong and added, "Unfortunately, there is a fixed number of titles in the Beichen Empire."
"If you don't take away the title, even if you have military merits, you still can't be conferred, right?"
"So what should we do? Just keep waiting? What if we die before the time comes? Can we leave it to the next generation to keep waiting?"
Huo Yushen raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "You really think too highly of me."
"All my military merits were used to become a marshal. The rest were exchanged for other benefits. For example, there is no more military merit left for that Bat Fighter to be knighted."
Xia Chujian was surprised and regretful, and said, "Really? Your military achievements are only enough to make you a marshal? Marshal isn't a title, so it can't be inherited, right? Then you're at a loss, aren't you?"
"I've seen several other marshals, and none of them has achieved as much as you in military achievements!"
Huo Yushen said: "This is the first lesson for you."
"The military merits of ordinary people like us and nobles will earn us different levels of rewards."
"I can save up my military achievements. Even if I don't receive the rank of marshal, it will be enough to get the position of earl."
"But I don't want to."
Xia Chujian was curious: "Why? If you don't confer the rank of marshal, but only the rank of general, and then use the remaining military merits to exchange for a hereditary earldom, wouldn't that be better than a marshal rank that can't be inherited and has no real power?"
Huo Yushen looked at her and said, "Do you really want a title?"
Xia Chujian said, "Why not? If I have enough military merits, and if that damn emperor has given me nothing more to offer, then of course I want a title!"
Huo Yushen said, "But after you are conferred the title, the life and death of you and your entire family will be at the Emperor's discretion."
"He can strip you and your family of your titles and sentence them to death without going through the Senate and the cabinet, or even going to court. Do you still want that?"
Xia Chujian was shocked: "Ah?! Really?! Nobles have this weakness?!"
Huo Yushen said, "This is a rule established by the founding emperor, Tan Tai Lin, when the Beichen Empire was founded."
"Five hundred years ago, when the constitutional monarchy was established, the emperor gave up many political powers, but he kept the sole jurisdiction over the nobility in his own hands."
“The new constitution not only preserved the privileges of the nobility, but also preserved the emperor’s privileges over the nobility.”
"Of course, this privilege is much stronger than before the establishment of the constitutional monarchy."
"Before the establishment of constitutional monarchy, the emperor could exterminate any noble he wanted without even going through the formalities of courtesy."
"After the establishment of constitutional monarchy, if the emperor wanted to exterminate a noble, he would need a legitimate reason and follow proper procedures. So, it can be considered a form of progress."
