Review of the show

Pei Jin had the zhou brothers thrown in prison after being the issue reported. The written complaints along with the blood written letter evidence was with him. The men's were given security untill the trial is finished.

He also send royal guards to collect information and truth of the matter. Knowing it was work of his beloved he was sure that royal guards won't be returning empty handed. So zhou brothers crime will be pinned and nailed.

The entire capital buzzing with news of Zhou brothers heinous crimes, making the entire Zhou hide in their manor. The crowd was even boldly betting that the Zhou brothers will scot free as their father is a prime minister.

Because of this even the prestige and impression of prime minister had fallen low. As Zhou xuan was on limelight from wining poetry competition she was also implicated. Some sympathized her, while the ones who hated her pulled this chance and dragged the incident where she was rebuked by lord of medicine valley as how she was pampered and all.

All in all the zhou manor was facing darkest hour for the first time time in year life.

At the court emperor was glaring at the prime minister who was kneeling and crying rivers. He was clever as not to defend his sons as the situation was from his reach hence he accepted the fact and was now asking for mercy.

"Holy one this minister is guilty of not having taught ones children to be upright humans, hence asks to be punished" prime minister said very righteously.

All the other ministers beside head of imperial censor cabinet became statue as not to be dragged along.

"Prime Minister zhou though you have some faults for not educating your sons properly but all is not your fault. All seedlings don't grow green and healthy so rather than falling onto self blame this minister thinks you should in future be more stricter and prepare yourself for the punishment they will be receiving.

As the crimes are indeed very heinous. And as not to chill the hearts of common people this minister asks the holy one to punish the convicts severely."

Prime minister felt a chill when hearing the imperial censor. Though he was left a leeway saving himself from being dragged, but still those two were his sons. Thus he just kept on kneeling with his head touching the ground hinting and hoping for the emperor to sympathize and give lighter punishments.

"Prime minister Zhou, though this emperor won't hold you for your sons actions but also cannot have you a freeway.

This emperor clearly instructed you and the state advisor to create and maintain stability within the court. But now the ones creating havoc in the entire capital are your own sons.

Is it that they think you being the prime minister of father can patch up any hole they create on the sky? Seeing as how they don't put this emperor in their eye, no uprightness as a man, no respect for their official dome this emperor will have them punished to stop further atrocities.

Zhou Zuoren and Zhou Yahui are to be removed from their official post . Will receive 100 beating's on board infront of common people, have to compensate all the victims with a farming land and 10000 gold coins.

Prime minister Zhou failing to teach as a father and a minister will have his salary deducted for a year, will pay 50000 gold coins fine to state treasury, and stay one month in house to self reflect and not allowed to enter the court.

During his absence state advisor is to share his part of burden. State advisor not being able to perform well will also have a years salary deducted.

Qinwang is to monitor the punishment. If similar action is repeated then they will be facing capital punishment without a trial by beheading in public.

End of court. " flinging his sleeve and with dark face emperor left the court. But as he reached outside he was in a very good mood. While in the court after given such punishment prime minister still bowed then finally couldn't stop himself from vomiting blood.

Soon all his supporters crowded over him anxiously. While Pei Jin's faction felt rejuvenated and left the court hall. While the neutral faction had already made themselves scarce as soon as the emperor had left.
