As it turns out, leaving these seemingly insignificant termites behind was indeed useful.
They were like bait emitting an enticing aroma, successfully luring many people with ill intentions to take the bait.
Driven by self-interest, these people revealed their true colors, like moths to a flame, throwing themselves into a trap.
After this swift and decisive rectification, the court once again regained a semblance of peace and order.
However, beneath this calm surface, undercurrents are surging, and all sides are secretly observing, waiting for the next showdown.
The elderly Pei Yanci looked at the emperor before him, who had grown into a wise and benevolent ruler, and his heart was filled with joy and emotion.
The marks of time have quietly crept onto his face, and those wrinkles seem to be a testament to his lifelong dedication to the country.
He witnessed Ning Yuanhe's transformation from her initial naivety and confusion upon ascending the throne to her helplessness and bewilderment in the face of court intrigues.
Today, he is able to calmly handle various complex situations, demonstrating outstanding leadership skills and decisive decision-making ability.
Every time he sees Ning Yuanhe gradually grow stronger amidst adversity, he feels that his years of dedication to the country have been rewarded in the best way.
He knew that this young emperor, after experiencing countless hardships and challenges, had become fully capable and could shoulder the heavy responsibility of ensuring the prosperity of the Zhaoning Kingdom.
Those who thought they had hidden themselves very well couldn't help but sneer when they saw their allies being ruthlessly exposed.
Their eyes revealed a hint of disdain and arrogance, secretly pleased with themselves for believing that their plan was flawless and that no one else could detect their true intentions.
This sense of pride was like a surging tide, hard to hide on their faces, as if they were showing off their "brilliance" to everyone.
However, they were unaware that their every move was under the control of the Emperor and the two prime ministers.
The Emperor and his two prime ministers merely glanced at them out of the corner of their eyes, a cold glint flashing in their eyes.
Like a fleeting flash of lightning, yet containing boundless power.
The three had already reached a tacit agreement: next time they would make an example of them to serve as a warning to others.
This will make it clear to everyone else in the court that any attempt to undermine national stability will be severely punished, and that the court of Zhaoning Kingdom is not a stage for them to act recklessly.
The ministers of the six ministries also looked around calmly, their eyes revealing a sense of composure and wisdom.
In their view, it was perfectly normal for heated debates to arise in the imperial court due to differing political views, sometimes even to the point of turning red in the face.
After all, everyone is expressing their opinions for the development of the country, and their starting point is to make Zhaoning Kingdom more prosperous and strong.
The clash of different viewpoints sparks intellectual insights and propels the nation forward.
However, if anyone harbors ill intentions and attempts to disrupt the stability of Zhaoning Kingdom and undermine the country's prosperity, then they should not be surprised if they are not polite.
Although they mainly focus on the political affairs of their respective departments and devote themselves to the operation of the country, busy with various complicated matters, they are not powerless.
They all had some skill in martial arts, not only for physical fitness, but also to defend the dignity and justice of the country when necessary.
The calligraphy brush in their hands can not only be used for writing, but also as a weapon. It is said that this brush-shaped weapon was made by the regent, and they inherited it from the previous one.
The Regent said that they were civil officials, and this brush-shaped weapon suited their temperament better. Therefore, both men and women practiced it, and now they were all highly skilled.
After the court session, they will take necessary actions against those with ill intentions.
Let these people understand that any attempt to undermine national peace and stability will come at a heavy price.
On the day the cenotaph was erected, the dawn light, like a soft veil, slowly unveiled the morning curtain of Zhaoning Kingdom.
Wisps of light, like nimble sprites, gently and quietly fall upon this ancient and vast land through the thin, wispy clouds.
This country, which carries countless stories and memories, seemed to be drawn by an invisible force from the depths of its soul at this moment.
A solemn and deeply affectionate farewell ceremony quietly unfolded in every corner, like a poem or a painting.
Almost the entire city's inhabitants, as if summoned by a silent destiny, stopped what they were doing at the same moment.
In the streets and alleys, pedestrians who were originally in a hurry suddenly changed their course.
From all directions of the capital, like a surging tide, they rushed and converged towards the imperial mausoleum.
Their expressions were all solemn and sorrowful, their steps hurried yet steady and powerful.
Each step felt like stepping on one's own heart, carrying with it a deep and profound respect and reluctance to part with the Regent, as weighty as a mountain and as deep as the ocean.
As the people arrived one after another outside the imperial mausoleum, this area, which was usually solemn and dignified, was now filled with a dense crowd.
However, in this vast space, there was no noise or chaos, only silence, a silence that shook the soul.
The people stood quietly, seemingly having reached a tacit understanding that required no words.
Their eyes were filled with sorrow and reluctance, their gazes seeming to transcend the long river of time.
We returned to the years when the regent walked alongside them, those days filled with hope and warmth.
