After Chu Zhenglin came to a conclusion after discussing with the six ministries, he immediately asked the prince of the Royal Government Affairs Office to arrange for members of the royal family to cooperate with local officials to try those disciples of the sects who had committed crimes. Of course, the court would give relatively lenient punishment to those sects that actively cooperated with the royal family.
In addition, if the disciples of these sects do not cause them great harm, many ordinary people will not really ask the court to severely punish these disciples. Most of them will choose to forgive these disciples.
In fact, there is no absolute fairness in this world. Even ordinary people have their own standards in their hearts. If these sect disciples have not caused them too much harm in the past, and the court and these sect forces have compensated them, then they will choose to accept reality and forgive them during the court trial.
After all, life had to go on, and the sects' influence in the local area still existed. The imperial court couldn't pay attention to them all the time. If they continued to fight to the death with these sect disciples, then after the imperial prince left this place, they would be retaliated by the sects, and life would become even more difficult.
The people also knew that instead of making enemies, it would be better to gain some benefits while the royal family and the court were present. At the same time, they could take this opportunity to improve their relationship with the sect and gain more security for themselves and their families.
Of course, this is also what these sect forces want to see. After all, if the mistakes made by the sect disciples in the past can be forgiven by the court and the people, then it will be easier for them to gain a foothold in the Wei State and they will not be afraid of the court suddenly attacking them.
The clans that had been treated leniently by the court were also willing to take this opportunity to show their sincerity to the people and compensate those who had been harmed in order to gain their forgiveness. In this way, the relationship between the clans and the people was also eased.
Chu Zhenglin also showed no mercy to those sect disciples who had committed serious crimes and refused to repent. The powerful members of the royal family had assembled a team of highly skilled warriors, led by a master-level warrior. These warriors were specifically responsible for supervising and assisting local officials in carrying out trials, ensuring that no accidents occurred during the trials and executions.
Chu Zhenglin's swift and decisive arrangements established the royal family's prestige among the clan forces in Wei State. At the same time, it also allowed the people to see that the court was fair in ruling for the people of the world, thus further consolidating the royal family's ruling position.
Of course, Chu Fan didn't know all these things. He didn't know that by giving the Royal Government Affairs Office absolute power, he had once again ruined the plan he had made in his mind.
While Chu Fan was still waiting in the palace for the Wei Kingdom's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament to begin, Chu Zhenglin had already arranged for the punishment of all disciples, even those with meritorious service, for any past offenses. Before the Wei Kingdom's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament, Chu Zhenglin had already completed the judgment and compensation for all disciples, ensuring the tournament went smoothly without any mishaps.
It must be said that Chu Zhenglin was very competent. He had taken precautions against all the dangers that Chu Fan could think of and handled them in an orderly manner. I wonder if Chu Fan would regret handing this matter over to Chu Zhenglin after knowing this situation.
The train that Chu Fan took to get married immediately became a hot topic of discussion in the streets and alleys of Kaifeng City. However, after the train was put into operation once for Chu Fan's wedding, it was once again driven back to a private place by the Ministry of Industry and hidden away.
The steam locomotive's appearance at His Majesty's wedding was merely a publicity stunt to encourage the public to use it with confidence after it was introduced to civilian use. However, now was not the time to fully introduce the steam locomotive to the public.
There are still many spies from other countries in Wei State. If the steam locomotive continues to run in front of the people, they will definitely guess the huge role of the steam locomotive on the battlefield. At that time, they will definitely find a way to destroy the steam locomotive and the rails to restrict Wei State from using steam locomotives to transport supplies and troops.
Of course, some smarter members of other countries' forces had already realized the strategic value of steam locomotives since Chu Fan's wedding. However, because of their intelligence, these people did not immediately report the situation to their country's court. Instead, they reported it to their own forces first to see if they could make friends with Wei and gain more benefits.
As the current head of the Royal Government Affairs Office, Chu Zhenglin was very welcoming when he heard that a sect from another country wanted to join the Wei Kingdom. After Chu Zhenglin learned about Chu Fan's grand plan from his uncle, he returned to the Royal Government Affairs Office and meticulously read the files related to His Majesty's plan.
After Chu Zhenglin finished reading Chu Fan's plan compiled by the Royal Government Affairs Office, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that although his younger brother seemed to be doing nothing and lazy, he didn't expect that he was secretly planning such a grand plan.
On the third day after Chu Fan's wedding, someone from Julu Academy, a neutral organization on Shengwu Continent, approached Chu Zhenglin. Chu Zhenglin also politely met with a Confucian scholar from Julu Academy.
Of course, the Confucian scholars of Julu Academy actually wanted to meet the Emperor Chu Fan in person, but now even the court ministers of Wei State found it difficult to meet Chu Fan. How could they, who were from other national forces, easily meet His Majesty?
Since they could not meet Chu Fan, the emperor of Wei, they could only settle for the next best thing and find Chu Zhenglin, the chief of the Government Affairs Office, hoping to convey their friendly intentions towards Wei through him.
Chu Zhenglin met this Confucian scholar from Julu Academy in the restaurant of Royal Yuya Villa.
As a neutral force in the Shengwu Continent, Julu Academy was one of the ten forces that applied for the Supreme Card when the Royal Yuya Villa was opened, so they are no strangers to the Royal Yuya Villa.
After both parties sat down in the restaurant, Chu Zhenglin was the first to speak: "I wonder what the great scholar Cheng from your academy wants to discuss with me?"
Cheng Daru from Julu Academy said with a smile, "I've come here hoping Your Highness can introduce Cheng Mou to someone. Julu Academy is interested in establishing a closer cooperative relationship with the State of Wei. I hope Your Highness can arrange for Cheng Mou to meet with the Emperor of Wei to discuss the possibility of cooperation between the two sides."
