Chu Xing Yun's frown loosened when he heard the name. That's right … The reason why Baili Wusheng looked so familiar was because he had Baili Kuangsheng's features on his face.
If he wasn't mistaken, this Baili Wusheng should be the descendant of Baili Kuangsheng.
Now that he thought about it, Baili Kuangsheng should be more than a hundred years old now. He should have many children and grandchildren by now.
On the other side …
Chu Wuyi looked deeply at Baili Wusheng and said, "You're not bad. You didn't disgrace the Baili Clan. Accept the reward …" Chu Wuyi held the sword with one hand and handed it to Baili Wusheng.
According to the rules, Baili Wusheng should kneel on one knee and raise both hands above his head to receive the sword from the Empress and pledge his loyalty.
However, no one knew what Baili Wusheng was thinking. Facing Chu Wuyi's sword, not only did he not kneel on one knee, he didn't even bow.
Baili Wusheng looked coldly at the golden sword and said, "Wusheng doesn't need such a reward. After all … this golden sword is only an Emperor weapon. My sword is an Emperor weapon!"
Chu Wuyi didn't get angry at Baili Wusheng's rude rejection. He smiled and said, "According to the rules, the reward is this golden sword. You can't refuse it. However, I don't mind giving you a chance because of Uncle Baili. Tell me … what do you want?"
Faced with Chu Wuyi's question, Baili Wusheng's eyes flashed with a hint of intoxication. He opened his mouth and said, "Wusheng doesn't need any prizes. I only hope that Empress Wuyi will give me a chance!"
Oh?
Chu Wuyi looked curiously at Baili Wusheng and said, "You want a chance? I just don't know … what kind of chance do you want? "
Baili Wusheng took a deep breath and said, "Wusheng doesn't ask for much. I only hope that the Empress will give me a chance to pursue the Empress and become the Empress's husband!"
How dare you! How dare you!
As soon as Baili Wusheng finished speaking, the officials on both sides of the stairs stood up and shouted at the same time.
Chu Wu Yi suddenly raised his hand, and stopped the ministers from shouting angrily. Then, he indifferently said, "Wu Yi is very grateful for your kindness, but … my father has yet to return from his travels, and I don't want to talk about marriage."
Baili Wusheng frowned and said, "What … Empress Wuyi, are you looking down on me?"
In the face of Baili Wusheng's rude advances, Chu Wu Yi's smile gradually disappeared as he said coldly: "There's nothing I like, and there's nothing I don't like. In Wu Yi's eyes, all beings are equal!"
Baili Wusheng took a deep breath and said, "You're saying that you're rejecting me?"
Chu Wu Yi indifferently shook his head and said, "If you insist on thinking this way, I can't refute it. But in my opinion, I just didn't agree."
Hahaha …
Baili Wusheng laughed wildly when he heard Chu Wuyi's words.
Baili Wusheng laughed and said, "I really don't understand. Your father has been missing for more than a hundred years. If he died in some corner, would you still not marry?"
How dare you!
Chu Wuyi was enraged when he heard Baili Wusheng's words. He waved his hand and a hidden force surged out. Baili Wusheng was forced to kneel on the ground, his bones cracking.
Coldly looking at Baili Wusheng, Chu Wuyi said: "You've spoken nonsense to me, but I'll let you off for giving Uncle Baili face. But if you dare to speak nonsense and insult my father, I won't let you off!"
Chu Wuyi raised his head and said, "Baili Wusheng has been disrespectful to the Great Chu royalty. He will be stripped of all his titles and will never be employed again!"
Get lost …
After giving the order, Chu Wuyi waved his hand, and Baili Wusheng's body was lifted into the air. He flew a few dozen meters and landed heavily on the hard bluestone ground below the stairs.
Puchi …
Chu Wuyi hated Baili Wusheng for insulting her father. Although Chu Wuyi did not kill him out of respect for Baili Kuangsheng, he did not hold back at all.
Baili Wusheng spat out mouthfuls of blood. His internal organs had been severely impacted by the impact.
Chu Wuyi stared coldly at Baili Wusheng. Although she had never seen her father before, in her heart, her father was the person she respected the most in the world.
If someone was disrespectful to her, Chu Wu Yi could be magnanimous and tolerate it. As the saying goes, a great man does not stoop to pettiness.
However, if someone dared to insult her father, it would be intolerable.
Not to mention Baili Wusheng, even Baili Kuangsheng would be punished if he dared to do so.
In the void mezzanine, Chu Xingyun frowned as he watched the scene unfold before him.
Chu Wu Yi was very good. Whether it was as a daughter or as the Empress of the Great Chu Dynasty, she was very good.
However, as the Empress, Chu Wuyi's ruthlessness seemed a little weak.
If Chu Wuqing was here, Baili Wusheng would have been dragged out, beaten a hundred times, and locked up for eight to ten years.
And this was because of Baili Kuangsheng's face …
As the founding Emperor of the Great Chu royalty, Chu Xingyun's dignity and glory could not be tarnished.
It was not that Chu Xingyun was unreasonable, but … if even the founding Emperor could be casually insulted, then where was the prestige of the country? What would the Chu royal family rely on to suppress those ambitious people!
Chu Wuqing sighed and shook his head. Chu Wuqing was indeed ruthless. Even to his own people, he was cruel and merciless. Towards outsiders, he was even more merciless.
As for Chu Wuyi, although her name was Wuyi, she was not a heartless person. On the contrary … she was a very affectionate and righteous person. Otherwise … why would the Empress of the Great Chu royalty care about Baili Kuangsheng's face?
Although Baili Kuangsheng was Chu Xingyun's best brother, as a member of the royal family, not to mention a brother of different surnames, for the sake of the power of the dynasty, he would not even frown when killing his own brother. How could there be any face to speak of?
If Chu Xingyun were to handle today's matter, it would be very easy.
No matter who was involved, he would do what needed to be done.
If, according to the established law, he should be beheaded, then he would be beheaded …
If he needed to implicate nine generations, then Chu Xingyun would personally take action and capture Baili Kuangsheng's entire family. Not a single person would be left alive! To prove the law …
It was not that Chu Xingyun was vicious, but that the law was heartless. The higher the position, the more meticulous the need to abide by it.
Bending the law for favoritism, although it seemed to be affectionate and righteous, it would cause suffering to the common people.
Chu Xingyun would never harm the entire world for the sake of one person.
Perhaps some people would think that Chu Xingyun was cruel, but in fact … the cruel one was the law, not Chu Xingyun.
Since the law was established, it should be obeyed. Otherwise, why would it be established?
In fact, if Chu Xingyun was the Emperor, the punishment of implicating nine generations would not exist. Therefore … Baili Kuangsheng's entire family would not be executed.
The truly cruel one was never the one who enforced the law, but the one who made the law.
As a law enforcer, he should follow the rules and do what he should do. Bending the law for favoritism was absolutely unacceptable.
