"Survival of the fittest, so those who can survive to begin their missions must all be quite qualified."
However, judging from the adults' reactions, they must see them as a stain on their reputation and wish they could kill them all immediately!
Emperor Mingxi and his servant Qian Gui exchanged a glance. The emperor had secret guards, assassins, and two spy organizations, one for internal affairs and one for external affairs.
Qian Gui was in charge of some of the internal affairs.
Meanwhile, Emperor Mingxi glanced at someone in the main hall.
The moonlight took in everything and knew that the emperor had taken it to heart, so he said no more.
Emperor Mingxi coughed lightly and said, "My beloved ministers have all read it. If you have any thoughts, please feel free to speak them. I will forgive you all."
An elderly official stepped forward first and said, “Your Majesty, Prince Qi has been coveting imperial power and has planted spies in the residences of court officials. His intentions deserve to be punished, and his actions deserve to be condemned!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone immediately spoke up, "Your Majesty, I second your opinion. The matter of the Prince of Qi's plot to rebel should be thoroughly investigated, and we should be given justice."
"Your Majesty, I second that opinion. Please consider this carefully: we are loyal only to Your Majesty and have absolutely no connection with the Prince of Qi!"
Then others jumped out to second the motion. Yue Fuguang took a look and saw that they were all people whose families had been planted by the King of Qi. Their expressions were more interesting than the last.
They were all eager to prove their loyalty to the emperor, and even more eager to kill the Prince of Qi in one fell swoop!
Isn't it true that the emperor and his ministers are thinking the same thing?
Emperor Mingxi then said, "The matter of the Prince of Qi's intention to rebel is to be thoroughly investigated by the Three Departments."
"We must not let a single person go unpunished, nor should we wrong a single person."
Wei Ping, Huo Ying, and Feng Tang immediately bowed and agreed.
Emperor Mingxi then said to Wei Ping, "Minister Wei, all the spies from the Prince's Mansion have been imprisoned in your Dali Temple prison. They will be dealt with together after the case of Prince Qi's rebellion is closed."
Wei Ping solemnly replied, "Your humble servant obeys the decree!"
"Minister Cai, how is the trial of the four major families going?"
Seeing that the emperor had put the matter aside and inquired about the four major families, the officials whose families had been infiltrated by spies secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that His Majesty would not pursue their negligence for the time being.
[Master, the Emperor is indeed going to execute all those people. Should you stop him? You haven't offered a single useful suggestion during all this time in court.]
"Forget it, I just want to watch the show and enjoy the drama. Let the emperor do whatever he wants. Besides, what useful advice can a little kid like me offer? I don't understand politics."
Everyone thought to themselves that Little Immortal Abode was indeed still the same Little Immortal Lord. His compassion was seemingly there but not there, and his unpredictable temperament was worthy of the name of an unpredictable immortal.
Fortunately, this person was, in any case, a benevolent deity, which was a great blessing for their Great Expansion.
Cai Xian stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the four main culprits have not yet confessed, but several accomplices have already confessed to the deeds of their respective families."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Yesterday, I interrogated Bai Yu, and he refused to admit that Chonghua's disappearance was related to him."
He only said that the reason he left the banquet without saying goodbye was because the head of the family urgently summoned him, and he had also sent someone to leave a message for the princess on his way home.
Emperor Mingxi appeared to be deep in thought, "If Chonghua wasn't taken away by Baiyu, then who else could it be?"
Cai Xian looked constipated, but still forced himself to say, "Your Majesty, I will intensify the interrogation. I'm not afraid he won't tell the truth."
The court officials said: "Your Majesty is determined to pin the blame for Chonghua's disappearance on Baiyu."
Looking at Minister Cai, one can feel quite sympathetic. Only he and Wei Ping could do such dirty work for the emperor.
[Master, these people don't know yet that they've arrested the wrong person!]
"Wrong person arrested? Who was arrested by mistake?"
The hearts of the Emperor and his ministers sank. Could it be that someone among the prisoners was impersonating another?
Cai Xian and Wei Ping, in particular, immediately perked up their ears. They wanted to hear who could escape their capture since all the sons of the four great families who held official positions in the court had been imprisoned.
Bai Yu, he's been arrested by mistake.
"Impossible, right?"
Impossible. These three words echoed in the hearts of Cai Xian and Wei Ping along with Yueyue Fuguang. The main members of the four families were all arrested based on the portraits.
Bai Yu frequently visited the Prince Qi's residence and was a favorite of Princess Pingning. Many people in the capital knew him.
They had met once before, so it was impossible for them to have arrested the wrong person.
[Master, they really arrested the wrong person. The one locked up in the dungeon is Bai Yu, whose name contains the radical for gold (金). This is Bai Yu's twin brother.]
"Twin brother? If Bai Yu is a twin, surely Wei Ping and Cai Xian would know? Why did they only arrest one?"
Because only a few members of the Bai family know about this. Didn't I mention before that the patriarch, Bai Yu's father, was born to a Miao woman from Nanzhao?
She is Miao Qingling's aunt, Xi Ling's biological mother. Their clan has a taboo: twins are considered unlucky, and one must be eliminated, otherwise the family will suffer misfortune.
Yue Fuguang didn't believe any of this and pointed out, "Is it because they're afraid the twins will fight over the inheritance? Don't mortals value seniority?"
The fact that twins are born one after the other, but the one born a little later affects the inheritance rights, can easily breed resentment and cause internal strife.
"But Bai Yu is an illegitimate son, so he won't get much of the family property. It should be fine, right?"
Their father, Bai Yu, thought the same way, so after the two brothers were born, he did not take the life of one of them, but only announced to the outside world that his concubine had given birth to a son named Bai Yu.
From then on, the two brothers, one in the light and the other in the shadows, became each other's shadows.
They have appeared in each other's lives since childhood, and because they look and have the same temperament, they have not been noticed by outsiders.
Even Xie Zhiyao didn't know that the two men beside her were brothers. The one who had fallen in love with her was the younger brother, Bai Yu, while the one who wanted to take advantage of her was the older brother, Bai Yu.
Bai Yu is currently on the run, and it is also Bai Yu who appeared in Peach Blossom Lane.
"Why does Bai Yu seem so much smarter than his younger brother?"
That's natural. Bai Yu has both emotional intelligence and IQ. He was able to recognize Fan Shiping, the head of the Fan family, one of the four great families, as his adoptive father, despite being a illegitimate son of the Bai family.
Even after the early death of his powerful patron Fan Shiping, he still enjoys the favor of his father, Bai Yu, and the approval of Fan Chengye, the new head of the Fan family, which speaks volumes.
"Is Fan Shiping from Liangzhou Bai Yu's adoptive father? You seem to have said that in the original timeline, apart from Fan Shiping, the other three members of the four major families all survived to the end."
The rulers and ministers of Dayan: Is the ending the Grand Tutor spoke of the day Dayan will fall? (Silently biting a handkerchief)
[My master has a good memory; it's just that, apart from him, the other three all lived until the fall of the Dayan Kingdom.]
The officials of the Dayan court: We knew that the ending of the story of the Junior Tutor was about the fall of their Dayan kingdom!
Some of them, like Fan Shiping, did not live to see the end!
Wei Ping and Cai Xian were speechless when they heard the reason. The Bai family really kept their mouths shut. They only found out now that there were two Bai Yu!
I just hope these two ancestors can tell me where Bai Yu is now, and please don't go off-topic and talk about Fan Shiping again.
This man is currently locked up in jail and can't escape. They don't care whose godfather he is, and he can't help them catch Bai Yu anyway!
