Chapter 737 Long Live the Emperor! (7)
The night after Yu Muhuai and Ping Qinian discussed the matter, the people from the Eastern Depot left with the orders issued by Ping Qinian.

What this group of people didn't know was that long before them, just yesterday after Yu Muhuai decided to target the iron merchants, someone had quietly left the capital with a secret letter.

Those were the secret guards that Wan Zhixin had been cultivating in silence for three years; they were secret weapons who obeyed only the Emperor's orders.

The guard almost broke his horse's legs, but finally managed to enter the Mo'an Iron Cavalry's camp before the Eastern Depot's men arrived in the Northwest.

A day and a half later, another group of people entered the military camp where the Mo'an Iron Cavalry was stationed.

They were dressed very simply, wearing traditional Northwest clothing.

However, each of them had a fair and clean face, eyes that held murderous intent, an imposing presence without anger, and a cold and stern demeanor, giving them a very unique temperament.

Because he had received a secret letter from the Emperor in advance, Duan Kui knew that these people were sent by the Eastern Depot.

The leader dismounted and took out a piece of paper.

"Commander Duan, receive the imperial decree!"

Duan Kui knelt down, "Your subordinate is here."

----

In the following days, Yu Muhuai attended court as usual, but he was very different from Wan Zhixin, who used to pretend to be obedient and timid.

In the imperial court, Yu Muhuai listened attentively to the memorials presented by the court officials and actively expressed his own opinions.

In the past, Wan Zhixin always pretended to be a weak and indecisive emperor in order to lull Ping Qinian into a false sense of security, so that he could turn the tables and catch Ping Qinian off guard.

However, Yu Muhuai had no need to do so, because she did not intend to completely eradicate the eunuch faction.

After Ping Qinian died in the previous life, Wan Zhixin ordered a thorough investigation of the eunuch faction, leaving no one unpunished.

Later, no one was spared, not even many innocent officials who remained neutral.

The Qianxin Party adhered to the principle of "better to kill a thousand innocent people than let a hundred guilty people go free," and wronged many innocent people.

Besides being wrongly accused, there is also persecution.
The officials in charge of arresting the eunuch faction were all members of the Qianxin Party. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they labeled many people who had personal grudges against them as members of the eunuch faction and imprisoned them together.

There were some officials who did not belong to the Kenshin Party. They did not stand with any party in the court and would not speak or act for the eunuch party.

However, because he had not previously joined the Kenshin Party in condemning the eunuch faction, he was labeled an "accomplice of the eunuch faction" and suffered cruel persecution.

As a result, the imperial court lost many capable personnel.

After the "Eunuch Party Rebellion" was quelled, 70% of the officials remaining in the court were members of the Kenshin Party.

In everything, moderation is key.

It may seem like a move to set things right and eliminate bad people, but in reality, it can actually breed even more bad people.

Some people may seem like harmless kittens, but if you hand them a knife, they will turn into bloodthirsty and ferocious tigers.

Ping Qinian, standing to the side, felt a little heartbroken.

The Emperor's sudden change in attitude—could it be that he's preparing to harm me?

Something's not right. Would they make such a big show of it beforehand?
But why did things suddenly change so drastically if we didn't take action?

Ping Qinian stood with his head down and eyes lowered. Several of his suggestions had just been rejected by the Emperor, so Ping Qinian simply remained silent and observed the situation.

Now that the emperor has been on the throne for three years, he has all the power he should have and is no longer the young emperor who just ascended the throne three years ago.

Back then, Wan Zhixin couldn't sleep soundly every night. In addition to having his most trusted guards stand watch all night, he also insisted on having tables and cabinets placed at the door to block it.

When Ping Qinian heard this, he simply showed a mocking expression.

In his view, the emperor had always been timid and cowardly, and even more afraid of death.

However, the current emperor not only has a very dignified demeanor in every move, but also exudes a righteous and imposing aura.

He would often exude an inexplicable aura of dominance, which would make others feel suffocated.

Did the Emperor secretly cultivate some unparalleled martial arts technique?
Besides that, there's something crucial: the Emperor's eloquence is absolutely phenomenal!
The manner, the speed of speech, the logic! The speaker was stunned, his mind went blank for a moment, he forgot what he was going to say next, his prepared remarks completely abandoned, and he was only focused on following the great emperor.

Commonly known as, "leading astray".

Ping Qinian slightly raised his eyes, looking at the emperor, who was speaking in a long, continuous, meandering, and convoluted manner, with a complicated expression.

He raised his hand to wipe his face, brushing away the spittle, and squinted his eyes.

Yu Muhuai suddenly stopped talking.

She turned her head to look at Ping Qinian, who was staring at her.

"Admiral Ping, do you have any ideas?"

Ping Qinian was taken aback when the topic was suddenly brought up.

But as a seasoned eunuch and a treacherous minister who had long held sway over the court, Ping Qinian was no slouch either.

He cleared his throat and expressed his views on the previous suggestion.

Yu Muhuai just kept smiling at him.

After patiently waiting for him to finish speaking, Yu Muhuai still stared straight at him, his lips slightly parted, his pupils dark and his eyes deep.

Big White: a few moments later
Ping Qinian felt a little dizzy.

At this moment, it seemed as if an invisible stone slab appeared in front of him, with lines of words constantly floating across it.

Those words were what the Emperor had just said.

He felt a buzzing sound in his ears, like several little bees buzzing in unison.

The buzzing eventually coalesced into the Emperor's words, filling his entire mind.

Oh no, Ping Qinian felt like he was poisoned.

He suddenly felt unwell and wanted to regulate his breathing. So he stood up with his hands clasped behind his back, completely agreeing with what Yu Muhuai said, and said no more.

Ping Qinian is 58 years old this year.

For the first 45 years of his life, he exemplified what it meant to live "a failed life as a eunuch".

Having lost his father at a young age and with his mother remarrying, Ping Qinian had no food or shelter, so he chose to enter the palace.

He nearly died after being cleansed. After some time, he found himself constantly having a fever, feeling listless, and in very poor condition, with a persistent foul odor emanating from his genitals.

So Ping Qinian used his newly earned salary to get a medical checkup and discovered that he had not been properly cleansed and that his genitals were inflamed and oozing pus.

Then he was stabbed again.

Despite his weakened state and the two knife wounds he had sustained, Ping Qinian forced himself to work.

They were bullied, went hungry, were drenched in water on cold days, and forced to kneel on snowy days.

During this time, he was framed by a concubine and falsely accused, receiving dozens of beatings that nearly killed him.

Finally, when he was forty-five, things began to improve.

Ping Qinian first hooked up with a lover.

Within the palace, there are numerous lonely and desolate palace maids, as well as a large group of eunuchs who have lost some of their functions.

To cope with the long and lonely life in the palace, they would choose to gather together in pairs and live like ordinary couples.

Of course, there were no marriage documents, no family genealogy, and no way to continue the family line.
