Yan Guilai's crisp voice could be heard from afar. "The law is merciless. I hope that you can live up to your name and become a merciless judge!"
Hearing Yan Guilai's words from afar, Chu Wuqing was stunned for a moment before he smiled.
As the saying went, the law was merciless. He understood this principle.
Although he had done many wrong things in the past hundred years, it could be said that he had made contributions.
However, after being the Emperor for a hundred years, no one understood the importance of the law more than him.
Why was the Great Chu royalty so corrupt now? To put it bluntly … it was the result of the corruption of the law.
Leniency outside the law, leniency outside the law, he had done too many similar things.
Although Chu Wuqing later realized the seriousness of the situation and strictly enforced the law, it was already too late.
As the saying went, the law could not punish the majority. Could he arrest all the corrupt officials, confiscate their assets, or even execute them?
Obviously, he could not do that. Humans could not withstand such a shock and impact.
Therefore, although Chu Wuqing was extremely regretful, he could only muddle through.
Originally, Chu Wuqing thought that he had finally lost everything. However, he did not expect that under Yan Guilai's fight, he actually managed to retain the power of the Ministry of Law!
Although Yan Guilai spoke very politely and said that humans could not leave him, in reality, as long as Yan Guilai became the Emperor, everything would be fine.
As long as Yan Guilai regained his identity as Chu Xingyun, as the Retired Emperor, he could abolish this unfilial descendant of his and directly take over the Great Chu royalty. Who would object? Who would speak up for Chu Wuqing?
Obviously, Yan Guilai did not want to abolish him and did not want Nangong Huayan to be sad. Therefore, he compromised and came up with this idea.
Firstly, he divided the government affairs that Chu Wuqing was not good at and left them to the professionals to manage.
Secondly, he divided the military affairs that Chu Wuqing had always wanted to meddle in but could not. This eliminated the conflict between the Imperial Family and the military.
If the military refused to compromise, the Great Chu royalty would definitely be abolished.
Thirdly, Yan Guilai left the most important legislative and law enforcement power to the Great Chu royalty.
Although the three departments were said to be equal, the real supreme power was always the power to kill. This was the most deterrent.
Simply put, even Yan Guilai and Shui Liu Xiang could not break the law. Otherwise … Chu Wuqing could still pursue their legal responsibilities...
Watching Yan Gui Lai run away, Nangong Huayan sighed. She turned around and looked at Chu Wuqing deeply, "Your father has done everything he can for you, so … don't disrespect him anymore, okay?"
. "What could Chu Wuqing say in the face of his mother's words?
Nodding with a bitter smile, Chu Wuqing said, "Now, the fate of the Great Chu royalty is in his hands. How would I dare to disrespect him?"
Nodding, Nangong Huayan said, "After we go back, change Chu Xingtian's name. Let's call him Chu Nianzu."
Chu Nianzu?
Hearing the name his mother gave him, Chu Wuqing could only smile bitterly. What else could he do?
Nodding, Chu Wuqing said, "Alright. Since it's mother's idea, Wuqing will naturally not object. Let's call him Chu Nianzu."
Looking at Chu Wuqing with gratification, Nangong Huayan took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "Also, what do you plan to do about the assassination of Yan Guilai? Or … do you plan to fool them? "
Facing Nangong Huayan's question, Chu Wuqing said with a bitter smile, "I'm also out of my wits. Tell me what to do, and I'll do as you say."
Nodding, Nangong Huayan said, "I think you should directly send them to your father. Let your father decide whether to kill them or torture them."
While speaking, Nangong Huayan shook her head and said, "No wonder the ancients always said that the dirtiest places in the world are brothels and imperial palaces."
Closing his eyes in pain, Chu Wuqing said, "That's right. If this didn't happen right beside me, right beside my children and wife, I definitely wouldn't believe this to be true."
Letting out a long sigh, Nangong Huayan said, "From this point of view, losing power is actually a good thing. At least … the descendants of the Chu clan will no longer kill each other and point their knives at their own relatives."
On the other side …
Yan Guilai left the imperial palace all the way. After hesitating for a while, he rushed in the direction of Jinfeng Restaurant.
After entering Jinfeng Restaurant, Yan Guilai directly found You Zai and asked him to return the three hundred million taels of gold. The military's funds should not be privately allocated, but should be arranged by the Ministry of Political Affairs.
Similarly, the military's expenses should not be paid by You Zai, but by the Ministry of Political Affairs.
After taking back the three hundred million taels of gold and returning all the gold notes to You Zai, Yan Guilai smiled and said, "How is it? What do the military think of my actions?"
Facing Yan Guilai's question, You Zai shook his head and said, "What can they think? Everyone supports you, but … "
Looking awkwardly at Yan Guilai, You Zai said, "Commander Liu Xiang wants to see you. She can't leave the Heavenly Moat Canyon, so she hopes that you can … you can go to the Heavenly Moat Canyon."
Nodding his head, Yan Guilai knew why Shui Liu Xiang wanted to see him. After all … Chu Xingyun was Shui Liu Xiang's most beloved person. Although she had temporarily lost her emotions and ability to love because of cultivating the Icy Heart Heartless Technique, she had already recovered.
With regards to the story between Chu Xingyun and Shui Liu Xiang, Yan Guilai had already understood a lot during this period of time.
Speaking of which, it was fate that made fools of people. It could be said that the road between the two of them was bumpy. Many things would always happen that forced them to separate.
Over a hundred years ago, in order to not be a burden to Chu Xingyun, in order to stand on equal footing with Chu Xingyun, and in order to protect Chu Xingyun, Shui Liu Xiang had resolutely cultivated the Icy Heart Heartless Technique and completely turned into a cold-blooded animal.
In the end … Chu Xingyun had chosen to fulfill her wish and dejectedly left the Qiankun Realm.
However, just as Chu Xingyun had left and completely lost Chu Xingyun, Shui Liu Xiang had a sudden epiphany and broke through the highest level of the Icy Heart Heartless Technique. She had surpassed the Icy Heart Heartless Technique and recovered.
Originally, Shui Liu Xiang had wanted to chase after Chu Xingyun. She wanted to chase after Chu Xingyun to the ends of the earth, regardless of life or death. She wanted to roam the world with him.
However, she did not expect that at this point in time, the demon race would launch an all-out attack on the human race after destroying the demon race.
Once Shui Liu Xiang left, the human race would definitely be exterminated.
On one side, it was Shangxin's beloved who had left, and on the other side, it was tens of billions of human beings. In the end … Shui Liu Xiang chose to save the human race and chose to stay in the Qiankun Realm.
For the past hundred years, Shui Liu Xiang had been guarding the Heavenly Moat Canyon. No matter how powerful the demon race was, it was difficult for them to break through the Heavenly Moat Canyon under the suppression of the eighteen ice sculptures.
After a hundred years of refinement and absorbing the souls of countless demons who had died in battle, as well as the heroic souls of human warriors, the eighteen ice sculptures all possessed the power of the Emperor.
