Chapter 56: Controversy

What happened in the Isin family, although it only lasted one night, soon became the hottest topic in the imperial capital.

Inside the palace, this is the place where officials and the emperor deliberate, but at the moment there is no seriousness to discuss state affairs, but like the noisy vegetable market.

The young emperor sat on the throne and looked at the courtiers below with a puzzled expression.

Standing to his lower right was one of the strongest men in the Empire, General Bud, who stood straight with his hands on his chest, his eyes closed, oblivious to the quarrels of the other courtiers.

And Ma Cangye stood at the bottom left of the emperor, looking at the group of noisy courtiers in front of him, and then he also closed his eyes and fell into meditation.

It all started this morning.

The affairs of the Ising family, even if you don't have to think about it, everyone understands that this is the minister's order.

Those officials who learned of what had happened to the Ising family were the first to send someone or go there in person, and all they saw was the ruined Ising house that had been burned by the fire, and the unrecognizable black humanoid ashes under the rubble.

As much as they wished Drew wasn't in the ashes, they waited for hours before Drew could contact them.

Officials who mistakenly thought that everyone in their family was dead got together. Let's go to the palace together, hoping that the emperor will come out to administer justice.

The emperor was helpless to be annoyed by those officials, so he had to ask people to invite Ma Cangye.

After Asakura Ye arrived, he directly prevaricated most of the accusations made against him by all officials, without admitting but not denying it.

Anyway, the emperor believed him, no matter how much those officials said in front of the emperor, it couldn't compare to a word of him.

The only general Bude who can compete with Asakura Ye is a stubborn person, and he is not allowed to interfere in politics according to the ancestral teachings.

Without the support that could contend with Ma Cangye, the confidence of the officials quickly disappeared.

So in the face of Asakura Ye's prevarication, although the officials were so angry that their faces were red, they were helpless.

Just when they wanted to feel helpless, Asakura spoke again.

The Ising family has no living place and no heirs, and their family's business and land must be taken over.

When they heard these words, no one understood what he meant.

The people who can appear here are all Drew's friends, or partners, and even the few conscience factions of the country's officials.

They knew that Drew had a younger brother, and that he was a puppet of many of the ministers, and they thought that the ministers would take advantage of Drew's death to let Della inherit everything from the Isin family, so that he could control the huge Isin family.

When he said that he needed to find someone to take over the Ising family's business and land, officials immediately speculated that he was planning to monopolize the Ising family's thousand-year-old savings.

Just as they wondered if there were any other people from the Isin family, Asakuraha's next sentence confused them again.

That is to let the officials take over, but at the same time he thinks he is the proposer, so he does not participate, and has other officials summoned to the palace for discussion.

This has become the current scene, the quarrels in the palace are constantly fluctuating, although most of the officials are selfish and just want to take advantage of the present to quickly make more profits.

But fortunately, the officials of the conscience faction are more united, and because Asakura Ye did not participate in the discussion, and this is not politics, but a kind of sharing, they can directly use General Bude to suppress those officials opposite.

Although General Bud did not say a word about it, his position made the officials slowly shut their mouths.

They all deliberated in a regular and regular manner, deciding who would get the grain business, who would get the fields, who would get the mines, who would get the factories, and so on.

Transportation, food, clothing, work that requires a lot of manpower, and there are also production lines that can be used to grow herbs, and even pharmacies, which can form a ring of production lines, and people have a lot of demand for them, and they need them.

In the past, they only had to give Drew what the people needed or needed, and then he collected it and sent it or sold it to the poor at a low price.

But now that Drew is dead, they can no longer rely on themselves and other like-minded partners as before.

Watching the officials of the conscience slowly acquire the business and land they need, they are seeing that all they get is some meaningless, unprofitable business or some barren land.

Those officials who were still arguing with people just now and wanted to make themselves more wealthy began to get anxious.

They even wanted to pull Asakura Ye who was watching the play into the water, hoping that he would come forward to confront General Bude, but no matter what they said or how they persuaded him, Asakura Ye was unmoved.

In the end, this farce-like controversy ended with a resounding victory for the conscientious minority.

Looking at the others who wanted to eat fatty meat, but could only drink some ointment, the conscience officials had joyful smiles on their faces.

At the same time, I was also a little worried that Ma Cangye would suddenly go back on his word.

Although they have a conscience, if they do not have materials and money, even if they want to help others in this corrupt world, they can only have the heart.

So after hearing that Asakura Ye personally agreed to the outcome of their discussion, everyone cheered loudly regardless of their own image, and some even cried with joy.

But at the same time, they are also worried that there will be some bigger conspiracy in Asakura Ye, and the existence of the Isin family that is enough to affect the country's tax revenue, he dares to attack them, let alone them.

Later, Asakura Ye also proposed to let the local people take prisoners on death, the border army to capture the army that invaded the empire, and let the people from all over the country capture dangerous species and transport them to the imperial capital.

But when I heard that the merchants were to be in charge of the delivery, I didn't understand why Asakura Ye did it.

But the conscience and the selfish officials, who had just reaped the fruits of their victory, were also considered semi-businessmen, and a new round of quarrels began.

The selfish officials who had just thought about their own efforts and had not thought of working together were rarely united this time.

And the conscience faction still adhered to the truth that unity is strength, and began to quarrel.

Both factions quarreled over the first proposal, which was to escort death row prisoners from all over the country to the imperial capital.

The conscience faction knew very well that if the officials on the other side were allowed to escort them, I am afraid that those condemned prisoners would be nothing more than a group of innocent people.

And for those selfish officials, the death row prisoners -- that is not simple? Just grab a lot of them from the streets and alleys.

Seeing them quarrel again, Asakura Ye didn't watch the show like he had just done this time, and he also understood their purpose in fighting for the right to sentence and escort death row prisoners.

He took out a wooden stick and broke it, and wrote on it the condemned prisoner and the dangerous species.

Ask the two factions to draw a representative and let them draw lots.

As for the captives, they didn't think about fighting for them in the first place, after all, when Asakura Ye talked about the matter of the captives, they directly authorized it to General Bude.

In the end, with the help of Asakura Ye, the officials of the Conscience faction obtained the right to escort the death row prisoners, and at the same time, it also represented that the death row prisoners they recognized were the real death row prisoners.

In contrast, the representatives of the conscience faction were praised by their colleagues, and the selfish officials were excluded by other colleagues before they could return to their positions.

Although both are escorts, both the cost of capture and the cost of escort are completely different.

Death row prisoners will run away if they escape, but if they are difficult to commit dangerous crimes, it may lead to the destruction of the entire escort team, and even the process of capture is incomparable.

In the end, the controversy in the palace ended with a great victory for the Conscience faction, until they returned home thinking that what had happened today was just a dream.
