Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable Chapter 93 Gender of Sin 93

General Qi was once again summoned by the Emperor to the palace to foster goodwill, after which he specifically told Qin Shuangshuang to be cautious, advising her not to go out in the coming days and to stay quietly in her room.

Qin Shuangshuang naturally agreed. In the days that followed, not only did Qin Shuangshuang stay indoors, but to be safe, Qin Miao and Fang Yao also refrained from going out shopping. They stayed in the room with Qin Shuangshuang, staring at each other in boredom. Having been accustod to being busy from morning till night for so many years, suddenly having nothing to do felt rather uncomfortable, as if being in prison, making them uneasy all over.

Such days lasted only three days, and then a major event occurred at court! The Imperial Censor drafted over three hundred charges and impeached the current Pri Minister. The Emperor acted swiftly and decisively, not allowing the Pri Minister to defend himself, displaying his power in court and directly sending the Pri Minister to the Heavenly Prison, ordering the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice to jointly try the case!

Before the trial by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice, the Pri Minister’s residence was searched, revealing mountains of gold, silver, and jewels, with many tributes from smaller nations! Richer than the National Treasury, the whole court was astounded!

Within a day after the search, the Pri Minister’s cris were confird, including colluding with enemies, committing treason, embezzlent, disrupting the court, disregarding the Emperor... A litany of charges was made, ultimately resulting in the extermination of his family and the confiscation of his properties!

In just over ten days, the faction of the once-powerful Pri Minister was completely vanquished and vanished. Everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to utter a word.

Qin Shuangshuang thought it must have been the Emperor who took action, as the speed at which the Pri Minister was impeached, convicted, and eradicated was unusually swift and suspicious, clearly abnormal. However, Qin Shuangshuang had no intention of delving into the truth, as the depths of the Capital City’s waters were too dangerous for her to risk getting involved.

In the end, Qin Shuangshuang learned about it from General Qi, who, being in the Emperor’s inner circle, was naturally privy to such matters.

If General Qi was the Emperor’s confidant, then Qin Shuangshuang was General Qi’s confidant. Matters involving court secrets were naturally not disclosed to just anyone by General Qi, but he did not hide them from Qin Shuangshuang, his confidant.

Regarding the Pri Minister, it was obvious to anyone that the Emperor intended to eliminate him, but the reason was unknown to those not in the inner circles of court politics and the Emperor’s confidants because it involved the reputation of the late Supre Emperor.

The Supre Emperor was a remarkable figure, being the Founding Emperor of Da Ran, who conquered territories throughout his life and ruled with diligence to provide rest for the people. Before his abdication, the Supre Emperor could be regarded as an enlightened and wise ruler.

But not everything can go as desired. After a life of warfare, the Supre Emperor’s body suffered from many old ailnts, and even though he reigned diligently, his health declined a few years into his reign as Emperor.

The Imperial Physicians, unable to cure him, frankly stated that if Your Majesty continued to work hard, it would be detrintal to his lifespan. This was the polite way of saying that if he continued to serve as Emperor and handle a heavy load of national affairs, his demise would be imminent!

Though the taste of power was sweet, it could not surpass the value of life. Because of his poor health, the Supre Emperor was forced to abdicate, handing the nation to his son.

Initially, the Supre Emperor focused on recuperating, entrusting previous dynasty affairs to the new Emperor, providing strong support to his son.

After taking the throne, the new Emperor continued his father’s diligent governance ideology, implenting policies beneficial to the nation and people, and discovered General Qi, a talent, resolutely waging war against the barbarians, driving them to flee in disarray!

Having the Supre Emperor backing him, helping to suppress the discontented old officials, the new Emperor unleashed his full potential, flourishing like a fish in water, feeling imnse gratitude towards his father, displaying great filial piety.

The Supre Emperor was very satisfied, wishing to witness his son beco a wise ruler during his lifeti. The prospect of historical records portraying them both as wise monarchs filled him with joy.

Perhaps because his mind was at ease, his health improved daily. As his condition improved, facing no imdiate threat of death, the Supre Emperor began to long for the taste of power once more.

At first, the Supre Emperor remained clear-minded, recognizing that there could not be two ruling authorities in the court, as it would lead to chaos. Yet, as he aged, his dissatisfaction grew, longing for the once-held sensation of great authority.

At this ti, the Pri Minister, ever eager to beco a powerful minister but thwarted by the Emperor’s wisdom, discerned the Supre Emperor’s thoughts and felt that his opportunity had co!

Just as the Emperor was deploying troops against the barbarians, intending to completely defeat them, the harm caused by the barbarians had spanned centuries. If the Emperor achieved this feat, his reign would beco unquestionable, sothing even the Founding Emperor, the Supre Emperor, had not accomplished.

The Pri Minister, still dreaming of power, naturally could not allow the Emperor to succeed. He approached the Supre Emperor, citing the hardship on the common people as a reason against military action, pleading with the Supre Emperor to return to court and halt the Emperor’s recklessness.

The Pri Minister’s reasoning was full of holes, simply a ploy to give the restless Supre Emperor a pretext to act. As the Founding Emperor, the Supre Emperor’s authority among the ministers was unmatched by the few years the new Emperor had been on the throne.

Seizing the excuse, the Supre Emperor swiftly acted, reclaiming power from the new Emperor, resuming court governance! The new Emperor, caught off guard, was completely bewildered, stabbed in the back by his unsuspecting, trusted father, left powerless to resist.

The new Emperor was also adept at patience; he did not retaliate and remained filial and compliant to the Supre Emperor, allowing him to govern while he focused on building the Mutual Market and border city.

The new Emperor’s cooperation left the Supre Emperor with so guilt and a desire to compensate his dispossessed son, thus adopting a tolerant attitude towards the new Emperor’s projects.

The new Emperor’s actions were out of necessity since the Supre Emperor had many sons. Although he was once the most beloved by his father, the current situation was different. If he acted unwisely, he risked being deposed in favor of a more obedient son as Emperor.

The new Emperor endured for so many years until the Supre Emperor finally passed away. Concurrently, he had General Qi campaign against the barbarians while quietly eradicating the Pri Minister’s faction, until he launched a sudden strike, exterminating the Pri Minister’s entire clan.

The Pri Minister’s issue had little to do with Qin Shuangshuang; knowing the reason served only to avoid pitfalls, and remaining safe until they left the Capital City to return to the border city was the prudent course.

After enduring discomfort in the Capital City for two months, the Emperor finally granted permission for General Qi to return to the border city. Once they left the Capital City, everyone was elated. There were no ti constraints on the return journey, unlike the hurried trip to the Capital. With plenty of ti, they leisurely enjoyed all the scenic views they missed on the way in.
