The one surnamed Zu is indeed a trusted confidant promoted by his sister, but now that he has become the regent of the demon race, why would he be willing to be driven by the Bi family?
Even with the younger sister herself, it's still uncertain who's in control of whom.
Father always plans things out before acting; he couldn't possibly be unaware of this. Why would he take such a huge risk?
Pei Zheng sneered, "According to what Lord Bi said, not only will the Zu clan not be punished for colluding with the demon race, but they will be rewarded instead? Where is the law of the country? If everyone follows suit and colludes with the demon race, won't the country be on the verge of collapse?"
As the leader of the Crown Prince's faction, Bi Qi and Pei Zheng often engaged in verbal battles. Pei Zheng looked down on Bi Qi's character and thus launched into a tirade against him.
Soon, those who were friendly with Bi Qi and those who were friendly with Pei Zheng started to chime in, and the room soon became noisy and chaotic again.
Seeing this familiar scene of factional strife, Zhao Hao frowned. The two sides had been arguing like this for years, and it was infuriating to watch.
But this time is different.
What's surprising is that the two sides seem to have split into two factions for the first time ever, with some agreeing with Bi Qi's point of view and others agreeing with Pei Zheng's decision to kill Zu An, which is quite unusual.
He then looked at Jiang Boyang and asked, "Boyang, you are the Minister of Justice, responsible for the laws of the court. What is your opinion on this matter?"
Jiang Boyang bowed before saying, "In my humble opinion, colluding with the demon race is indeed the most serious crime of this dynasty, and Lord Zu should be executed for this crime."
"However, he did help the human race gain a great deal of benefits in this peace talks. If we kill him directly, it will inevitably cause controversy. Moreover, he is the regent of the demon race. If something happens to him, will the demon race let it go? The situation of rest and recuperation that has just ended may reignite the war, which is not a blessing for the common people."
"This is no longer a simple legal issue. I am at a loss as to how to make a judgment. I can only rely on Your Majesty's wisdom and might to make the right decision."
The ministers in the room secretly cursed him, calling him an old fox who offended no one and was extremely cunning.
Zu An thought to himself, "Principal Jiang is such a caring father. Pei Zheng, you should learn from him."
Zhao Hao remained noncommittal, then looked at Zhao Jing beside him again: "King Qi, what do you think of this matter?"
