Boundary Shattered [Interstellar]

"Master, please."

There were two armed robots standing at the entrance of the meeting hall. The door was wide open, and Tang Jing who was sitting in the center could be vaguely seen inside.

Tang Chu straightened his collar and dragged Lian Ting in.

"I'm back." Tang Jing glanced at him lightly.

Thinking about what he was going to do today, Tang Chu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the people sitting in the conference hall.

"...Come back. Had a good time."

The robot at the side sent Tang Chu a seat, and Tang Chu sat down, and a group of people almost formed a circle.Tang Chu coughed lightly and said:

"Patriarch, I don't know if today is...do you have anything to say?"

After Tang Chu's brief observation, although so many people from the family were mobilized in the meeting hall, in fact, those elders seemed to come here just for a show, and even Tang Chu just raised his eyes when he came in, and he didn't intend to speak at all. .At the beginning of Tang Dynasty, he was a little confused, so he didn't realize it until he found a small machine floating in the upper right sky of the meeting hall.

——He thinks it’s no big deal for some people to become slaves because they want to save their lives, because in his opinion, the difference between slaves and citizens is at best the same as the difference between poor and rich people. , Of course it's not a big deal; however, the people of the Tang family seem to think it's no big deal, because no matter whether someone has changed from a legal citizen of the empire to a slave without any human rights because of the early Tang Dynasty, but they themselves are nobles.

However, in the end there are still more ordinary citizens of the empire. The empire took great pains to package it, and turned the royal dictatorship and aristocratic assistance into fairness and democracy, in order to suppress the hearts of all ordinary citizens of the empire.Besides, the matter has become a public signal, how to deal with it is a big image problem.

Tang Chu thought regretfully in his heart that what he originally planned to say here may not be able to be made public now.

Anyway, he didn't have any enmity with the Tang family, on the contrary, he has been getting a lot of convenience through the Tang family.Repayment is a matter for the future, and it is not easy to embarrass the Tang family now.

He imitated Tang Jing who was opposite, his expression became serious, and he sat upright.

Suddenly it occurred to him——Tang Jing is a politician.

His mind moved.

Want to do something big.

At the same time, Tang Jing's public account on Xingwang started a live broadcast.

The title reads: An account of the behavior of the family's son-in-law, Tang Chu, on the Nr704 spaceship.

For a while, all the netizens who paid attention to it immediately contacted the family members of the passengers who took the Nr704 route spacecraft. .

In the Tang family's meeting hall, Butler Huos standing behind Tang Chu projected a virtual screen in mid-air, and messages scrolled quickly.Tang Chu knew that the tricks on the citizens of the empire had already begun.

At the same time, I feel a little disdainful and incomprehensible.

The reason why the Tang family made this move did not include any sincere explanation, but it was supported by everyone.

As for the Nr704 route, what exactly... was he really wrong?

Tang Jing's eyes first fell on Lian Ting.Tang Chu noticed the focus of his eyes and played the greatest courtesy in his life:

"Patriarch, before you came in, you didn't ask... can you bring your family?"

Tang Jing frowned unobtrusively, maybe because of the live broadcast, he didn't say anything.Tang Chu paid attention to the virtual screen in front of him, and didn't find anyone saying anything to the word "family" he said.

Tang Chu felt sorry.

The only managers of the Tang family are Tang Jing, the head of the family, and Tang Yu, the head of the military department. The third eldest, Tang Wanli, is half of the expelled people, and he is still absent today.It is obviously extremely unrealistic to rely on Tang Yu to ask questions, so Tang Jing can show that as the head of a noble family, he values ​​citizens' affairs.

"We convened this family review for your trip on the Nr704 spaceship. Although you are living outside, you are still not allowed to cause troubles and cause inconvenience to the citizens of the empire. Although you have not violated the laws of the empire, But if something harms the interests of citizens, you must bear the punishment. First, let’s talk about the specific process of the incident.”

Tang Chu said casually:

"The process is that everyone will die—except for the noble passengers. Only the noble cabin can withstand an absolute attack. If they can't get in, they can only die outside."

Tang Jing frowned, which finally brought a touch of mortal emotion to his graceful face.

"So you instigated them to make themselves slaves?"

Tang Chu calmly said: "This is the only way to keep them alive, or will returning a dead body satisfy their relatives more than returning a living person?"

Tang Jing slightly sternly said: "They are all legal citizens of the empire, and they have not committed crimes that are enough to be punished as slaves. How can they disturb the class order of the empire at will?"

"Saving life is the best. I want to save people, that's why I am. Or the owner can say that I am wrong, then the Empire Manufacturing Bureau only used materials containing sapphire when building the first-class cabin area of ​​the nobles, so that in case of carrying passengers The spaceship was under attack, and only the nobles were saved, so what does that count?"

Tang Chu heard a few elders on both sides hiss slightly.

"After all, if the empire can have a rule that innocent slaves can become legal citizens, then citizens may find that a living person is more valuable than a dead body, so what?"

The messages on Starnet were refreshed rapidly because of Tang Chu's words.

"What does Young Master Tang mean?"

"How could a slave become a legal citizen? If so, what would become of us former imperial citizens?"

"Young Master Tang's words are really bold and meaningless. You can even say something like letting slaves become people with the same status as us?"

"Is this a meeting to dispose of it, or is it a performance that made Young Master Tang speak out? If you follow his words, could it be that the entire empire is at fault and everyone in the empire is at fault, but he himself is at fault?"

Tang Chu glanced at this sentence, and said secretly in his heart:

Correct.

He suddenly remembered that he had seen a sentence.

There are few complete books left in the doomsday, and he still found them from Dr. Tang.It probably said something like this:

The brave are angry and draw their blades towards the stronger ones, while the cowardly are angry, but draw their blades towards the weaker ones.

The words seemed inappropriate, but Tang Chu suddenly understood.

These people, if there are insurmountable people on their heads, there must be other irresistible people for them to drive.Those who are dominated still have wisdom and personality, so they need to dominate other people to preserve their personality.

It seems that no one has really thought about it. Aren't slaves also intelligent and personal?

Nine out of ten they were born as slaves and were oppressed, so they agreed and obeyed, thinking that they were always inferior to others; other "persons with personality" who were punished as slaves should be able to see it clearly.

However, it is still necessary to abide by it, so no one can understand it.

After a while, Tang Chu found that among the scrolling comments, there was a different one, with a small font size and appeared unknown:

"Don't you think like me that what Young Master Tang said... is quite reasonable?"

But soon it, too, slipped and was lost, overshadowed by other, more angry remarks.

Tang Jing said: "Tang Chu, our meeting is not for you to talk crazy."

"I know." Tang Chu said. "I think what I'm saying is the truth. Do you think it's wrong for me to 'instruct' them to become slaves from imperial citizens? So in your opinion, should we let nearly three thousand people die because of the enemy's attack, or can we save them all?" life at the cost of being a slave without any civil rights?"

Tang Jing was dumbfounded for a moment.Tang Chu took advantage of the victory and pursued it, feeling that he could speak happily, only then did he realize that it seemed that being a speaker was his talent.

"Why do you think that I let them live, or that they are alive? Is it their own fault? Or is it a heinous thing to just change a society? Of course, now that many people are watching..."

Tang Chu turned around, facing the camera, and smiled towards the camera. "I want to say to you... families of passengers who survived a month ago perhaps, why are you outraged? Because your family survived but became a slave, bringing you shame instead of government pensions ? Or because they can no longer be called human beings after becoming slaves, and therefore cannot enjoy the rights of citizens of the empire? Is your anger for all slaves, or... what?"

In fact, Tang Chu had some unfinished business.

In fact, he could understand a little bit that the reason why those family members took those actions was not all because they protested that he had turned their relatives into slaves, but because the government would treat him as a slave but had no sin and could not have everything. The anger of more than 2000 protesters who held a march and were shot dead was transferred to him.There are only two faults. The government, or him at the beginning of Tang Dynasty, obviously, no matter whether it is in accordance with the law or general regulations, the government is not at fault at all, so he can only be blamed by thousands of people.

But he himself is not good at accusing the imperial government of anything.Besides, he is still the young master of the Tang family.

Tang Jing finally compromised—actually because the remarks on the virtual screen in mid-air no longer changed, because Tang Chu said these words just now, and there were only a few who could continue to criticize him regardless of right or wrong.

He concluded: "We know that your original intention may be to save people, but the result of being reckless is to arouse public anger. If you really saved a citizen of a spaceship, not only will the elders of the Tang family and I not blame you You will still be rewarded publicly; but your kindness has indeed caused bad consequences, so the elders of the Tang family and I don't want to make a fool of it, so it will be decided by the referendum later on."

Tang Chu could see that Tang Jing was actually unwilling to continue this interrogation, and he had more things to do.Tang Jing's words were beautiful, the rest has nothing to do with him, it's already coming to an end.

It's not over yet.Tang Chu thought to himself.

There is another big move that has not been released.
