Chapter 632 - Exiled (2/2)
But if it comes in direct rule of the Emperor, then his power would be affected.
Ji Zhelan gritted his teeth and said, ” Wasn't that area managed by king Zhi Xue? Why does the royal authority suddenly want to take the charge of it?”
He was trying to be as calm as possible but Ji Cheng sensed his nervousness which caused his lips to curl up.

” Ji Zhelan, I think you're forgetting something here. Zhi Xue is not a king anymore, he is just working as the supervisor under royal authority and is managing the area. However, the military officials have sensed some activities going on which is against the royal order.”
” So according to the rules, that area will be personally managed by the royal court from now on and the rule of Zhi Xue will end. Subsequently, he will be exiled to the country M.”
Ji Cheng's tone was slow and unhurried. He has allowed Ji Zhelan to stay for a few days to make changes in the power at the border.
Ji Zhelan came to the palace to make connections and find something against the royal authority but Ji Cheng used his trick against him.
He allowed him to stay in the name of being the prince of Ji Dynasty and in the end, he snatched the power from Zhi Xue.
If Zhi Xue is powerless, then Ji Zhelan will become powerless as well. Unlike others, Ji Zhelan doesn't play in the open.
He is sly and good at mind games. He can't be defeated by force, if force was used there are chances that his people might retaliate and something serious can happen.
But if things were done using the rules, then no one can deny anything.
Ji Zhelan's expressions turned dark as he tightened his fist, ” Your Majesty, how can you exile Gran.. Zhi Xue? He has given his whole life just to serve the country. How can you do this to him?”
Zhi Xue was his grandfather. Ji Zhelan couldn't believe that his grandfather was being punished for his activities.
Ji Cheng played with the pen in his hand and said, ” Ji Zhelan, it doesn't matter if he had managed that territory well. I have every right to punish him if he dared to uprise a rebel against the royal authority. However, I am being generous to not kill him right away and was sending him to exile. It's for all your sake.”
” After all, he is your Grandfather.” Ji Cheng said as if doing this all for him.
Ji Zhelan scoffed seeing Ji Cheng's shamelessness. He ruined his whole plan and was still saying that he did this for his sake?
