"I'm afraid this news won't even spread throughout Tian Qi City."
Jiang Mu Ming stood up.
Turning his back to Ye Dingzhi, he said with his hands behind his back, "Your real opponent is not some King Qing."
"It's the imperial court!"
"It was the emperor who personally approved the arrest of General Ye Yu!"
"Do you think that Emperor Tai An didn't know it was King Qing who was behind it, or that your father was wronged?"
"He just doesn't want to know these things!"
"You, a mere youth, dare to force Emperor Tai An to back down?"
"Isn't that utterly ridiculous!"
For Emperor Tai An, Ye Yu's existence was ultimately too much of an eyesore.
We can get help from the King Qing.
By shifting all blame onto the King Qing, thus avoiding soiling his own hands, wasn't that a brilliant move?
He just needs to pretend he doesn't know.
Just go with the flow.
This way, Baili Luochen of the Marquis Zhenxi's Manor can also lower his guard.
It's the best of both worlds!
These calculations were so obvious to Jiang Mu Ming that he didn't need to think at all; he could see them at a glance.
But for Ye Dingzhi, who grew up in the martial arts world...
It was incredibly shocking!
It turns out that the scheming and intrigue within the imperial court can be so treacherous!
Back then, Emperor Tai An, Ye Yu, and Baili Luochen were all sworn brothers.
In Ye Dingzhi's heart.
Brothers in arms are those who will share joys and sorrows for life.
We will not tolerate the slightest betrayal!
However, Emperor Tai An indulged King Qing, using him as a tool to kill his father, Ye Yu.
Why is that?!
Ye Dingzhi's breathing quickened, his heart filled with mixed emotions. If he were in Emperor Tai An's position, he would never have killed his own brothers for the sake of so-called power.
Just like Baili Dongjun, no matter what Ye Dingzhi does, he would never harm the other party.
These are true brothers!
"Emperor Tai An... utterly shameless!" Ye Dingzhi clenched his fists involuntarily.
The fingernails dig deep into the flesh without the person realizing it.
"Mister Jiang, what exactly do I need to do to clear my father's name and restore the General's Mansion's reputation?"
Ye Dingzhi was now deeply confused.
Even if the truth is uncovered, it will not bring everything to light.
What then is the significance of his visit to Tianqi?
"It's very simple."
Jiang Mu Ming turned around and said calmly, "Kill the King Qing."
Killed the King Qing?!
Ye Dingzhi was greatly shocked, even though he had thought about this before.
But no action was taken.
After all, if the King Qing were to die, and it was he who caused it, wouldn't that confirm the fact that the General's Mansion was plotting a rebellion?
"Mister Jiang, even if you kill the King Qing, the imperial court will not clear my father's name."
Ye Dingzhi asked, puzzled.
Jiang Mu Ming chuckled and paced back and forth, explaining, "Killing the King Qing certainly won't clear your father's name."
"But it will bring things to light completely, making it impossible for anyone who wants to cover it up to continue."
"The Death of the King Qing"
"It will surely spread throughout the world."
"If this were the time, all the evil deeds committed by the King Qing would come to light."
"Then one can ride the wind and let the whole world know."
"At that time, even the imperial court will be powerless to help."
"At that time, you can use the will of the people to get Emperor Tai An to issue Edict of Self-Blame."
"In this way, your father's injustice can be cleared."
A scene seemed to appear before Ye Dingzhi's eyes: in the Imperial Palace, in front of all the Ye Dingzhi and officials.
They forced Emperor Tai An to issue Edict of Self-Blame.
He wanted to atone for his father's sins and clear his name.
Isn't this exactly what he's been dreaming of?
But...
Ye Dingzhi's expression suddenly darkened, and he said, "But sir, with my current strength, even King Qing would be difficult."
"How can we leverage the will of the people to force Emperor Tai An to Edict of Self-Blame?"
"This is probably just wishful thinking..."
Ye Dingzhi wasn't brainless; he knew there were some things he could do, and some things he couldn't.
The King Qing's Mansion was heavily guarded.
In Tianqi, Shadow Sect members patrolled at all times.
They wanted to kill a member of the Xiao Imperial Clan.
It's really too difficult.
To escape unscathed is even more difficult.
"Young people should have the courage to think big and act boldly."
