Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

The emperor glanced at the court officials and was looking forward to their future actions to accumulate virtue. He was already excited by such a huge sum of money falling from the sky, let alone others?

If Ji De continues to act like this in the future and is willing to do practical things for the people of Zhao State, it is not impossible for him to turn a blind eye. I believe that he will definitely make sure that every ounce of silver from this huge sum of money is put to good use.

Such a thing that benefits the people, if his status did not allow it, he would have been unable to help but applaud and support it!

However, he could not completely rule out the possibility that Ji De had no bad intentions or other conspiracies, provided that he could find this person and catch him, otherwise everything would be in vain.

It doesn’t matter whether this Zhao Kingdom is still the Yan family’s Zhao Kingdom by then. As long as he is truly willing to take on the responsibility of protecting the people, it doesn’t matter whether he becomes the emperor or not.

Throughout history, there has been no dynasty that will stand forever. He just has a small hope in the end, that is, it will not be ruined in his own hands, which would make him appear incompetent.

Before becoming emperor, he was at least a soldier who protected the country on a border, and he still had a bit of pride and a unwillingness to admit defeat in his bones.

As I said, at present he has no means or methods to catch Ji De and strangle him in the cradle. He intuitively believes that Ji De is not a very evil person, so let nature take its course for now.

After the morning court session, the emperor invited the imperial master into the palace again. The same three people were still in the imperial study.

Yes, three.

When Mu Jiasong heard that the emperor had raised the banner of the Imperial Master again, he guessed that there would be something interesting to watch after the court session, so he happily followed the emperor to the imperial study. Sure enough, the Imperial Master was already drinking tea inside, waiting for the emperor to leave the court session.

It was not an urgent matter, so the emperor went to have his meal first. Mu Jiasong did not hesitate to eat with him. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he returned to the imperial study.

The Imperial Master regretted very much why he did not calculate with his fingers before going out. He waited for the Emperor for a meal in the Imperial study room for nothing, wasting his time for cultivation.

Having already wasted so much of his time, the Imperial Preceptor had no intention of cooperating with the Emperor and the others in small talk and wanted to get straight to the point.

"Jide set up a barrier in the Ministry of Justice today, and his strength is quite good. At least I can't do what he did, requiring someone to break the barrier."

Mu Jiasong was extremely surprised: "Specify someone? Can't it be lifted when the time is up? Then... this specific person..."

The Minister of Justice had already reported everything that happened in the morning to the Ministry of Justice. Mu Jiasong naturally knew that the designated person that the Imperial Master was referring to was Shi Youwei, the Vice Minister of Justice. Could it be that Shi Youwei was Ji De's accomplice?

The Imperial Master understood what he meant and immediately gave the answer: "I have already calculated for Lord Shi. He is an upright person and loyal to his country, but..."

Changing the subject, his eyes fell on the emperor: "If Ji De is not a wicked person, and what he does is for the country of Zhao and the people, then Lord Shi is also loyal to the country by helping Ji De."

Therefore, he was not sure of the answer, either that he was a good person and not a bad person, or that Lord Shi had nothing to do with accumulating virtue and was an upright and loyal minister serving the country.

The subsequent investigation was the emperor's business and had nothing to do with him. Anyway, he told the emperor the results of his calculations, and what choice the emperor made was none of his concern.

The Emperor and Mu Jiasong understood what the Imperial Master meant, and their conclusion was: If they listened to what the Emperor said, it would not save them any time or trouble in subsequent matters.
