Among the eight heads of the Investigation Bureau, Hua Nongyue, Jun Wuyou, Beiye Piaoling, Sima Pianxian, and Bai Bing were all loyal to Yan Guilai and Shui Liu Xiang.
Especially since Bai Bing had two votes in her hands. Therefore, these five people had six votes, while the entire Investigation Bureau only had nine votes.
Therefore, no matter what Yan Guilai and Shui Liu Xiang did, the Investigation Bureau would definitely approve it without any obstacles.
Even if Yan Guilai really issued a decree that all the industries of the human race belonged to Yan Guilai, no one would object. This was the truth!
The true target of the Investigation Bureau was Chu Wuqing. If Chu Wuqing wanted to use the authority of the law to continue to act as a tyrant and run amok, then the Investigation Bureau could stand up and stop him.
Of course, this was only temporary. Now that Yan Guilai was in charge, there wouldn't be any problems.
However, in the future, once Yan Guilai and Shui Liu Xiang were no longer in this position, everything would return to normal.
At that time, no matter who it was, no matter which department it was, they would be under the supervision of the Investigation Bureau.
Late at night, in the Great Chu royalty's palace …
Yan Guilai, Nangong Huayan, and Chu Wuqing sat around a round mahogany table.
After looking deeply at Nangong Huayan, Yan Guilai turned his head and looked at Chu Wuqing.
After taking a deep breath, Yan Guilai said, "To be honest, I don't know who I am, and I don't know what the relationship between us is."
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Chu Wuqing felt awkward. Looking at Yan Guilai's ten-year-old appearance, he found it hard to believe that this was his father.
However, Nangong Huayan didn't have this problem. With a sweet smile, Nangong Huayan looked at her son, then at her husband. She was extremely happy.
Looking deeply at Chu Wuqing, Yan Guilai said, "Your past actions have tarnished the reputation of the Great Chu royalty too much. This time … I hope you can work harder and do your job well as the Chief Judge. Don't run amok anymore."
Yes, yes …
Nodding, Nangong Huayan smiled and said, "Yes, Wuqing. Your father helped you keep this position. It's really not easy. You can't disappoint him."
Nodding with a bitter smile, Chu Wuqing took a deep breath and said, "I know. Don't worry, no matter what, I will do my best …"
Shaking his head, Yan Gui Lai sighed, "You probably still don't understand. You have to know … whether or not the Chu royal family can continue to exist in the future, whether or not the position of Chief Justice can be inherited by the Chu royal family, all depends on you."
Yes?
Looking doubtfully at Yan Guilai, Chu Wuqing asked, "Didn't you say that the position of Chief Judge is not hereditary? Once the term is up, you will have to step down?"
With a cold smile, Yan Guilai said, "Yes, you will have to step down when the term is up. But how long is the term? When will you have to step down? "
This …
Looking blankly at Yan Guilai, Chu Wuqing said, "The rules haven't been set yet. Didn't we not have time to discuss this?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Yan Guilai said, "Yes, the rules haven't been set yet. But when will they be set?"
Looking speechlessly at Yan Guilai, Chu Wuqing said with a bitter smile, "How would I know? You can set them whenever you want. Will anyone oppose you?"
Shaking his head, Yan Guilai said, "Do you think I'm stupid? I don't know the future development of mankind. Why would I give myself a death sentence? "
Yes? That's right …
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Chu Wuqing's eyes lit up.
Chu Wuqing knew very well that Yan Guilai wasn't selfish. Given his wealth, if he was really selfish, he wouldn't have to do anything. His wealth would be enough for him to live a life of luxury.
If he was greedy for power, he would have the support of the Seven Great Generals of the Human Race and the Four Great Imperial Advisors. He could even become an emperor. However, he didn't. This was enough to show that he didn't have any ambition for power.
Seeing Chu Wuqing's eyes light up, Yan Guilai continued, "Furthermore, as the Chief Judge of the Law Ministry, no one can be above you. So what if I hold a meeting? You can refuse. No one can force you, right? "
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Chu Wuqing's heart began to thump violently.
Indeed, from a legal point of view, even if Yan Gui Lai gathered everyone and set a term, he could still reject it. After all … the Chief Justice of the Ministry of Law was already a supreme position. No one could force him to make a decision.
If Chu Wuqing didn't want to step down and didn't agree to the rules and regulations, the Law Ministry could refuse to abide by them. No one could force him.
After taking a deep breath, Chu Wuqing said, "Just say it. What do you mean?"
Shaking his head, Yan Guilai said, "I don't mean anything. I just want to tell you that there is only one situation where you and the Great Chu royalty will lose the authority of the Law Ministry."
Pausing, Yan Guilai said in an incomparably serious tone, "You can sit in this position because humanity needs you. Even if I don't want to use you, it is impossible. The commoners will not accept you."
Nodding, Chu Wuqing said in understanding, "I understand. What you mean is that once I am incompetent in my work, commit all sorts of outrages, and disregard human life, the commoners will not accept me. They will even reject me."
"That's right. Once you are hated by the gods and hated by the ghosts, when you are spurned by everyone, when someone tries to abolish you, there will not be many people who will oppose it. You will be finished. The Chu royal family will be finished."
Yan Guilai said with a serious expression.
Hiss …
Sucking in a breath of cold air, Chu Wuqing completely understood Yan Guilai's meaning.
Once he lost the authority of the Law Ministry, the Great Chu royalty would definitely be lost. Just as Dongfang Tianxiu said, without power, what kind of royal family would they be? How could they protect the dignity of the royal family?
Looking tenderly at Yan Guilai, and then at Chu Wuqing, Nangong Huayan said, "Wuqing … Your father is right. Only when the royal family controls the Law Ministry and wins the hearts of the people can they keep this authority. Even if someone wants to snatch it away, I'm afraid the commoners will not agree!"
Looking at Nangong Huayan with admiration, Yan Guilai said, "That's right. That is the truth. I hope you can remember that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. This is all I can help you with."
As he spoke, Yan Guilai stood up and looked at the night sky outside the window. "Alright, it's getting late. I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow. Think about it carefully."
Seeing that Yan Guilai was about to leave, Nangong Huayan could not help but stand up. With a red face, she said, "Ah! Are you leaving? You … aren't you going to stay? "
Hearing Nangong Huayan's words, Yan Guilai immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Stay? How could he stay?
Although everyone said that he was Chu Xingyun, and all the evidence proved that he was indeed Chu Xingyun.
However, Yan Guilai did not think so. His mind was blank, and he did not remember these people at all.
Although there was a 99% chance that he was indeed Chu Xingyun, but what if it was? What if he was not …
Yan Guilai would never do something like molesting someone's wife and daughter. Therefore … even if there was only a one in ten thousand possibility, he would strictly abide by his boundaries and never cross the line.
