Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 2712: Chapter 2712: Not a Single One Will Escape

He couldn’t understand if those people’s heads were filled with paste; the Retired Emperor was already so old and lacked everything, yet there were people willing to follow him—were they blind?

"Are father and mother going to confiscate their properties?"

Those people’s homes should all be confiscated. They disrupted the Daqing Kingdom and caused unrest; they themselves should not think of having a good time.

"Yes."

An Yilu nodded her head slightly.

"But this is Emperor’s matter. Father and mother likely won’t interfere."

Were they not going to Huayan Peak soon? Naturally, father and mother would not meddle in these affairs. The Emperor alone was enough.

...

Within the palace.

While Qian Jiyun and his companions were taking the Noble Clan Patriarchs on a lake tour, the Emperor wasn’t idle.

In the imperial study room, Eunuch Fu handed the petition from the minister to the Emperor’s desk. The Emperor took it in hand and immediately opened it to read.

With just a glance, he sneered.

"I truly didn’t expect that so many people would be willing to follow the Retired Emperor."

On the petition, there was a long list of names, including major clans, subjects, and even some soldiers.

"Is it only Jin Wan Guan from the Jin Family?" he asked the minister before him.

"In response to the Emperor, the people of the Jin Family are mostly peaceful. Only Jin Wan Guan is secretly connected with the Retired Emperor, unbeknownst to the rest of the Jin Family."

The minister respectfully replied.

Among them, there were several major clans with some individuals having ties to the Retired Emperor, while others were completely unaware.

This situation required him to consult with the Emperor on how to deal with it. After all, if an entire major clan were directly exterminated, it would have implications for the capital’s commerce.

Moreover, it wasn’t just a single major clan’s issue; this situation affected many major clans.

There were even some clans with the entire group tied to the Retired Emperor, overtly siding with him, and those must absolutely be removed.

After removing those people, if other clans were further affected, the capital would surely experience a prolonged period of unrest.

"Emperor, how should we handle situations like the Jin Family?"

"Minister Lu, you send discreet messages to those major clans, letting them know that as long as they are willing to completely sever ties with those treacherous officials and traitors, I can spare them."

He wasn’t so heartless; they had to be given a chance to reform.

"Understood, Emperor, I understand."

Minister Lu also sighed in relief, knowing that if blame were truly laid, none of those clans could escape.

Though they were innocent, collective punishment wouldn’t exempt even kin, let alone the main family. At this time, being able to be singled out should make them grateful to the Emperor!

"Deal with these people in a few days. I still need to consult Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang’s opinions." He said.

"Yes, Emperor."

Minister Lu responded, having nothing to say about the Emperor seeking the advice of the two princes.

"If there’s nothing else, you may leave."

The Emperor waved his hand, signaling Minister Lu could depart.

Minister Lu received the order and left the imperial study room, while the Emperor tossed the petition to Eunuch Fu.

"Make a copy and send it to the Retired Emperor."

Now, he sent someone with a message to the Retired Emperor for whatever he did; the Retired Emperor wanted to know about outside matters, so he dispatched someone to personally inform the Retired Emperor.

In this way, the Retired Emperor wouldn’t need to secretly contact the outside world and be beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Paper Person.
