Listening to Chu Xingyun's earnest teachings, Chu Wuqing's heart was extremely complicated.
For as long as he could remember, Chu Wuqing had lived alone in this world.
Although he had his mother, Nangong Huayan, there was a problem with Nangong Huayan's mental state. Furthermore, due to the restrictions of the Great Chu royalty, Nangong Huayan could not casually come into contact with him.
According to ancient traditions, whether it was the head of a family or the king of a country, he could not grow up in the hands of a woman. Otherwise, under the doting of a woman, it would be difficult for him to become a great person.
Everything about Chu Wuqing was under the restrictions of the Great Chu royalty. He had no freedom or rights to speak of.
For as long as he could remember, the master by his side had told him that he had to work hard and that he had to be outstanding, outstanding, and even more outstanding.
Along the way, he had stumbled and struggled. He only knew that he had to work hard and learn. However, there were many principles of life that the master could not teach him.
It was not to say that the masters did not have any understanding of life.
However, as a king, there were many principles of life that he could only rely on himself to understand. Those masters did not dare to casually change them.
Otherwise … they would be suspected of being brainwashed.
However, listening to Chu Xingyun's earnest teachings, Chu Wuqing felt very warm and very peaceful.
In any case, as a father, Chu Xingyun had the absolute right to guide and establish Chu Wuqing's outlook on life, the world, and values.
And these were things that ordinary teachers would never dare to casually create.
If he had such a good teacher in his youth, or even in his youth, who could teach him face to face and let him understand these principles, then he would definitely not be like this today.
Fortunately, it was not too late to mend the pen after the sheep had been lost …
Although it was a little late, for Chu Wuqing, the twists and turns of the past were not necessarily not a precious treasure.
Only when he had lost, been hurt, and experienced pain would his memories be more profound.
Although the mistakes he had made were too big and could be said to be deserted by everyone.
Even now, when he thought about it, he felt that it was very absurd and very ignorant.
Up until now, he had made almost all the mistakes he could make. He would not make them again in the future.
Just as his father said, don't be afraid of making mistakes. Make as many mistakes as you can while you're still young.
In this world, there was no one who didn't make mistakes. Thus … making a mistake wasn't a sin.
While you're young, you should make all the mistakes you can, so that you won't make any more mistakes in the future.
Looking at Chu Wuqing's absent-minded face, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but smile indifferently. Raising his head, he fell into deep thought …
It was not easy for Chu Xingyun to deal with Dongfang Tianxiu directly.
Dongfang Tianxiu was Chu Wuqing's grandfather and Nangong Huayan's father.
If he really killed him, he would not be able to explain it to Nangong Huayan and Chu Wuqing.
However, it was clear that it was absolutely impossible to not deal with it.
If he didn't deal with it, wouldn't the laws of the Darchu Dynasty become a piece of paper?
However, it was fortunate that Chu Wuqing took the initiative to take this responsibility.
As for Dongfang Tianxiu's punishment, he would leave it to Chu Wuqing. No matter what the result was, Chu Xingyun could accept it.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xingyun turned to look at Chu Wuqing and said indifferently, "Three days. I will only give you three days. After three days, I want to see the result of everything."
Nodding silently, Chu Wuqing watched Chu Xingyun's figure gradually disappear into the air.
In the following three days, Chu Wuqing didn't make any decision.
Until three days later, Chu Wuqing finally changed all his original thoughts.
After careful consideration, Chu Wuqing combined the four words "the benevolent is invincible" and made a new instruction.
Chu Wuqing was still unable to understand and grasp true benevolence. However, after three days of thinking, Chu Wuqing knew that blindly forgiving was definitely not benevolence!
After much consideration, Chu Xingyun arrested Dongfang Tianxiu, Qian Ruhai, Qian Dingding, Qian Dangdang, and Chu Xingtian and imprisoned them in the Ministry of Justice's prison.
Following this, the fates of these people were not decided by Chu Wuqing. Even Chu Xingyun would not interfere.
The fates of these five people were handed over to the new Chief Justice of the Ministry of Justice, Chu Tiankuo, to personally judge.
Everything was based on the laws of the Darchu Dynasty. Those who should be killed, those who should be let go, those who should be punished, those who should be judged! There was absolutely no tolerance …
Although Dongfang Tianxiu was Chu Wuqing's grandfather, everyone was equal before the law.
The law must be enforced strictly, and those who violated the law must be punished …
Protecting the good and punishing the evil. To the entire human race, this was true benevolence!
After Chu Tiankuo took over the case, he immediately acted boldly and decisively.
He investigated the case and collected evidence. Soon … Qian Ruhai, Qian Dingding, and Qian Dangdang were officially sentenced.
They were sentenced to death for controlling the election, embezzling public funds, using their authority to frame and kill wealthy merchants, seizing other people's assets, and a series of other crimes.
On the day of the sentencing, Qian Ruhai, Qian Dingding, and Qian Dangdang … were dragged to the central square of Nanming City and beheaded in public!
Next was Chu Xingtian! This person was not a descendant of the Great Chu royalty. He was actually a descendant of the Dongfang Clan.
Chu Xingtian had committed many crimes, but there was no need to investigate his other crimes. Just the crime of usurping the throne was enough to convict him.
There was no need for any other crimes. Just this crime alone was enough to sentence him to death by a thousand cuts. There was no crime more severe than this.
Unfortunately, ever since Chu Xingyun's reforms, inhumane torture like death by a thousand cuts had been abolished by Chu Xingyun.
Thus, Chu Xingtian was the same as Qian Ruhai, Qian Dingding, and Qian Dangdang. They were all pushed to the central square of Nanming City and beheaded in public!
On the same day, in the same place, this family was also considered a large group of people. They were all beheaded and sent to the netherworld together.
Finally, and also the most difficult to deal with, was Dongfang Tianxiu …
After pondering for a long time, Chu Tiankuo still made a painful decision …
Although he was the grandfather of the Great Chu Emperor and the father of the Empress Dowager, his crime of usurping the throne was truly unforgivable.
In order to warn the world and set an example for the future generations, Chu Tiankuo did not ask for anyone's opinion and sentenced Dongfang Tianxiu to death …
However, as an important member of the Great Chu royalty, although Dongfang Tianxiu was sentenced to death, he would not be beheaded in public. Instead, he would be given a three-foot white silk.
Faced with this, Dongfang Tianxiu shouted that he was unwilling to accept this. No matter what, he would not hang himself with the white silk. Instead, he crazily shouted that he wanted to see Chu Xingyun and Chu Wuqing.
In view of Dongfang Tianxiu's reluctance to hang himself, after receiving Chu Tiankuo's signal, the jailer forcefully used the white silk to strangle Dongfang Tianxiu to death.
Finally, a snow-white silk ended Dongfang Tianxiu's evil life.
Not to mention how Chu Tiankuo decisively punished the traitor, on the other side …
On a desolate planet, at the peak of a mountain that reached into the clouds, Chu Xingyun and Chu Wuqing stood side by side.
Amidst the whistling mountain wind, Chu Xingyun calmly said, "Actually, I could have killed Dongfang Tianxiu long ago, but I never did. Do you know why?"
Faced with Chu Xingyun's question, Chu Wuqing was also confused.
