Fairness

Just when everyone thinks the scene is grand enough, reality will teach them a harsh lesson.

"Please, my dearest friend."

He was Emperor.

"Father of Night, the Imperium will be glorified by your existence."

It's Malcador.

At this moment, the Emperor and Malcador personally came to Han Mingxuan's side.

The Emperor is on the left, Chancellor is on the right.

They led Han Mingxuan to the center of the platform.

As for Han Mingxuan himself at this time?

He gradually understood why Curze had quietly embarked on such a large-scale project.

No wonder it was made by Huangpizi.

Their styles of doing things are really similar.

While Han Mingxuan was still in a daze, the two led him to the high platform, and then the Emperor spoke.

"Citizens of the Imperium, at this moment, I am pleased to declare to you."

"The Father of Night, the chief architect and founder of the Rebirth of Nostramo, the legislator of the Evernight Code, the practitioner of the Imperial Truth, the Primarch' most beloved Uncle, has returned to the Imperium with his wisdom."

"I hereby appoint Han Mingxuan, the Father of Night, as Minister of the Imperium Department of General Affairs, Chief of Staff the Emperor's Staff, Adeptus Custodes Honorary Marshal, Imperialis Militia Marshal, and Supreme Commander of the Space Marines."

???

!!!

The Huangpizi has gone mad?!

If the scene weren't so grand, Han Mingxuan would definitely have jumped up and kicked his butt.

This isn't what we agreed on!

There are two versions of Chun Chun!

You told me I'd only ever seen Tyson, but now you've got Taro standing in front of me!

As for the Emperor himself?

In fact, this plan was conceived after he learned about Han Mingxuan and Curze's various deeds.

As for those watching the ceremony below, they were now looking at the Mortals on the stage.

They only felt terror.

The adoptive father of a Primarch who was parachuted into a remote star system, had not accomplished anything for the Imperium, yet was entrusted with a great responsibility by the Emperor.

"Hereby I declare that the Peaceful Star System belongs to the Eternal Autonomous Sector of the Eternal Night Justiciar Legion the Eternal Night Legion and is entitled to expand autonomously."

"Thirteen Planets Capital World system are exempt from taxes; subsequent expansion will result in taxes being halved."

"At the same time, the Evernight Code within the Peaceful Star System will be incorporated into the Imperium Law as a supplement to the Law system."

"If there are matters that the Imperium Law cannot resolve, the Evernight Code shall prevail."

"Regarding the world's development issues that have already joined the Imperium, the Evernight Code will be the primary approach."

"In extreme circumstances, the Nine Laws of the Night Bat shall be followed as the guiding principle."

Meanwhile, within the Peaceful Star System, everything revolves around the Evernight Code.

Boom!

It exploded!

All the nobles were in an uproar!

The Emperor's words were truly harsh.

He granted the Peaceful Star System extremely high autonomy, even more so than that of the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar!

But that's not the craziest part.

Most outrageously, he incorporated the Evernight Code into the Imperium Law.

Furthermore, after incorporating the Evernight Code into the Imperium Law, he granted the entire Code a high degree of autonomy in terms of people's livelihood construction and logistical support.

Everyone knows that the most important thing for a world that submits to the Imperium is to make them loyal to the Imperium as quickly as possible and to develop and build it.

In this process, some vested interests can be generated.

You could easily buy an entire galaxy.

At this very moment, this Mortals from Nostramo...

It was virtually unknown in the Imperium.

However, they had already seized control of the military, political, and financial powers.

But that's not all!

"Hereinafter, Konrad Curze, the Grand Inquisitor of the Eternal Night Justiciar Legion and commander of the Eighth Legion, and his Justiciar Legion, are appointed to oversee all affairs of the Imperium Adeptus Arbites."

Primarch intervenes in Imperium Law!

And it's not just the Primarch!

And his entire superhuman Legion intervened!

No, or rather, it wasn't intervention.

It's a takeover!

"My dearest friend, it's your turn to shine, father and son, from now on."

The Emperor and Malcador stepped aside, leaving Han Mingxuan and his son in the center. At this moment, they were facing the true center of power of the entire Imperium.

However, Han Mingxuan remained completely unfazed by this.

"Chief Juror."

"Exist!"

Sevatar strode confidently toward Han Mingxuan.

"Bring out your scales."

Sevatar carefully took out the scales he kept close to his body and handed them to Han Mingxuan with both hands.

Han Mingxuan set the scales aside and looked at everyone below the stage.

Fellow countrymen, fellow human beings.

At this moment, he was simply dressed in a magnificent outfit and holding a Staff on the stage.

Meanwhile, the members of the Imperium's high command, dressed in fine clothes or Power Armour, looked at the Father of Night with a variety of expressions.

That gaze held scrutiny, suspicion, and a lingering wariness of the name Nostramo.

Han Mingxuan ignored all of that and continued to speak, his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice carrying throughout the entire square through the loudspeaker, clear yet each word as firm as iron.

"I stand here, the soil of Terra beneath my feet, the sky of humanity above my head."

"The dust of Nostramo still clung to my heels and my clothes. I was Teacher in Nostramo a few years ago, and later Miner."

"The ore is heavier than the Code in my hand, heavier than this cane."

"We talked about law back then, but back then, the gang's knife was law, the mine owner's whip was law, and the gunshot in the darkness was the final verdict."

Someone in the audience frowned. It was a high-ranking official from the Adeptus Arbites who had Investigation Nostramo, a place known for its lawlessness.

"I've seen civilians kneel before Judge and have their fingers crushed for half a piece of expired nutritional paste."

"I've seen people steal a piece of ore, and the mine owner throws it into the smelting furnace, claiming it's to purify the pollution."

"Fairness back then was a passport for the powerful and a shroud for the weak."

Han Mingxuan paused, glancing at the Emperor and Malcador, then at the Inquisitors he had brought with him.

"It wasn't until we burned down our old Hive City and established laws that I understood that laws shouldn't be a sword hanging over our heads, but a road beneath our feet."

Curze stood beside Han Mingxuan, watching his father's back.

His temperament remained gentle, but his words were like a sculptor's chisel, as he sculpted Terra, this Stalwart Stone, into the ideal form he envisioned.

Some say that the Nostramo people are unworthy to speak of the law, that our hands are stained with darkness.

"But it is those who have seen darkness who know best where the light should shine! The law is not just numbers, not just articles; it is about enabling Miners ' children to hold textbooks, not pickaxes."

"It's to ensure that no bullets get into the baker's scales, and that every citizen of the Imperium dares to light a lamp at night."

"When the door was knocked on, it was a sheriff standing outside, not a gang with knives!"

"Admittedly, the people of Terra may not witness such a scene."

"This is the great mother of humankind, this is the Throne World of the Imperium of Man."

"But my fellow human beings, my dear fellow human beings, in this vast galaxy, among billions of worlds, our fellow human beings still live in dire straits."

"We make the laws, we enforce them impartially, and we bring fairness!"

As he spoke, Han Mingxuan lifted the scales.
