Huangxiu

Chapter 503 Block
Everyone is certain that the throne belongs to them.

But there are no absolutes.

Anything can change until things come to fruition.

The throne seems to be within reach, but it is far from that simple.

Not to mention when the emperor will abdicate, even the hurdle of having the Emperor's Sword recognize its master is not so easy.

He also suspected that Prince Ying Chu Mingrui had been suppressing his own realm in order to command troops and not step into the realm of grandmaster.

But what if one day, he gets tired of commanding troops and stops suppressing them, and directly steps into the Grand Master stage?

There are even other imperial uncles, some of whom are hidden in plain sight, while others have other extraordinary experiences.

Until the day you actually sit on the throne, you cannot assert that the throne is yours.

Chu Yi chuckled and said, "Okay, big brother, you are cautious, but too cautious... Big brother, you should at least go through the six parts first, it's better to go down and take a look."

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her.

Chu Yi smiled and said, "I heard from Sister Li that other places in Dajing are completely different from our Yujing City. There is a huge difference."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

No matter which dynasty it was, the emperor was far away and the power of the court could hardly reach the countryside, and could often only reach the state level.

Yujing City and other places are indeed two different worlds.

It would be the biggest joke if we extend the policy of Yujing City to other prefectures and states.

Bai Ningshuang asked, "You won't go to work as an official outside Yujing City again, right?"

Chu Yi said: "If the royal grandfather wants to train my eldest brother, he must go to the local area."

Bai Ningshuang frowned.

She started to panic when she thought that Chu Zhiyuan was not around.

When I am in Yujing, I don’t feel anything even if I don’t come back for dinner.

But if you are not in Yujing, it is completely different.

Chu Yi smiled and said, "Mom, if you don't go to the local area, how can you know how the officials below govern the local area? You must go."

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand: "It's nothing."

Chu Yi snorted, "Anyway, I think that the six ministries will come first, then the local areas. This is definitely the way to go."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and looked at Chu Minghou: "Father, the court wants me to stop, right?"

Chu Minghou was silent.

He sighed inwardly, as expected of Yuan'er, he was indeed very sharp.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, “So, the imperial court is not unaware of the growth of the evil sect, and is not unaware of how many innocent people the evil sect has harmed.”

Chu Yi blinked his eyes and asked in confusion: "Brother, what does this mean?"

Chu Zhiyuan sneered: "You don't want me to continue killing the evil sect."

Chu Yi's bright eyes flickered, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Why don't they want you, brother, to continue killing the evil sect monsters? ... Is it because of the Zhenwu Division? That's impossible, they don't like the Zhenwu Division that much, ... So they want to cover up their mistakes? ... Or is there something else?"

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Father, why is the court so indifferent to the threat from the evil sect?"

"It's not that we are indifferent. Didn't the Zhenwu Division clear out the sect several times? It even joined forces with other martial arts sects to clear out the Yuding Sect."

"Only against the Yuding Sect." Chu Zhiyuan said, "We haven't even been able to complete the battle yet."

"Some things are not that simple." Chu Minghou shook his head and said, "It's hard to explain at the moment."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Will Uncle come tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll ask my uncle."

"...In fact, this involves some secrets of the imperial court." Chu Minghou sighed.

Chu Zhiyuan and Chu Yi both listened attentively.

"Most of the evil sects' lairs are in southern Xinjiang."

"Ah."

"The imperial court doesn't really care about Southern Xinjiang. In fact, it can't. They are unruly and don't obey orders." Chu Minghou said, "The imperial court hopes that Southern Xinjiang will be weak so that it won't cause trouble for the imperial court."

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

The mountains in southern Xinjiang are dense and full of miasma, making it difficult for the army to move forward.

Therefore, southern Xinjiang has never been truly conquered.

Southern Xinjiang is nominally a place of great prospects, but in reality it is equivalent to an independent kingdom.

He completely ignored the court's policies and orders and did what he wanted.

In the eyes of the people of Dajing, almost no one lives in Southern Xinjiang. But in the eyes of the imperial court, Southern Xinjiang is a great threat and an extremely unstable factor.

If the imperial court is in the midst of war and southern Xinjiang suddenly rebels, it could really shake the country of Dajing.

How can we minimize the threat from southern Xinjiang? That is to weaken southern Xinjiang.

How to weaken?

These evil sect disciples can do it.

Moreover, no matter how strong they are, they cannot form a disciplined army and are vulnerable to the army.

Chu Yi blinked her bright eyes and asked hurriedly.

Chu Zhiyuan told her the inside story.

Chu Yi is extremely interested in these things, and has sharp insight, often hitting the nail on the head.

Chu Zhiyuan then satisfied her curiosity.

Chu Yi snorted, "So, the growth of these evil sects is also the result of the imperial court's connivance?"

"Don't talk nonsense. These words must not be spread out." Chu Ming said honestly.

Chu Yi said: "Father, it won't matter if it gets out."

Chu Zhiyuan agreed.

The people of Dajing do not have a good impression of Southern Xinjiang. After knowing the inside story, they may not necessarily blame the court. Instead, they think there is nothing wrong with the court's actions.

This will indeed weaken southern Xinjiang at the lowest cost and maintain peace in southern Xinjiang.

Once Southern Xinjiang becomes strong, there will inevitably be unrest. If the unrest gets serious, all the people in Dajing will suffer.

“If you really raid the evil sect’s lair and wipe them all out…” Chu Minghou shook his head.

Chu Zhiyuan said slowly: "What if I don't stop?"

Chu Minghou frowned: "If you don't stop, I will really transfer you to a higher position."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Transferring Yujing is indeed a way to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot."

Chu Minghou looked at him helplessly: "Yuan'er, you are a grandmaster and a prince, but no matter how strong you are, you are only one person and cannot fight against the entire court."

Asking him to stop was not the decision of a single official, but the overall decision of the entire court.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "These evil sect monsters should not live in this world."

Chu Minghou said: "They do deserve to be killed, but now..."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "These officials should know that these evil sects are not only active in southern Xinjiang."

"You killed so many people in the East Territory. In fact, the court officials are already dissatisfied. Impeachment memorials are flying everywhere. Now this incident has happened in Yujing. Even my father can't stop it."

“Then please issue an order.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “If you don’t issue an order, I will just pretend I don’t know.”

Chu Minghou shook his head helplessly and looked at Bai Ningshuang.

Bai Ningshuang said: "Don't look at me, I am so stubborn because of you."

"I'm not that stubborn."

"Even less!"

Chu Yi said softly: "Brother, do you really want to go against all the officials in the court?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "I am not against them, but to kill the evil sect monster."

"That means going against them." Chu Yi said, "That's not a good thing."

Even if he is the emperor, he cannot go against all the court officials. No matter how powerful the Emperor's Sword is, it cannot kill all the court officials.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If I give up now, my thoughts will not be clear and it will be difficult for me to make further progress in my cultivation."

So I have never been involved in government affairs.

The way of self-cultivation and the way of being an official are completely different. One requires taking the straight path, while the other requires taking the crooked path.

If you are involved in too many government affairs, your state of mind will be tainted.

He guessed that this was also the reason why the emperor had always tolerated him occupying the official position but doing nothing.

"Hmm..." Chu Yi tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Can we have the best of both worlds?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Then we can only let them kill each other."

If they kill each other, his Moon Sword God will not be able to take the opportunity to become stronger.

So I never got to the final step.

Now, it’s time to proceed to the third step.
