The emperor asked, "Nothing to say?"

The Right Junior Official of the Dali Temple was startled, and with a determined heart, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty. I believe that the Queen Mother colluded with foreign tribes, aided the enemy and committed treason... Her crime is unforgivable, and she should be executed according to the law, and her entire clan should be exterminated immediately."

All the civil and military officials in the court looked at him.

The Right Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple had some connections with the Empress Dowager's forces, but not deeply, so everyone was surprised but not too surprised by his timely response to stop the loss.

However, the Empress Dowager's power was closely connected, and it could be said that the officials who represented them were completely anxious.

The Junior Secretary of the Imperial Household Department came out alone and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The Queen Mother is guilty but we are innocent. I really didn't know that the Queen Mother had so many private affairs... In addition, didn't the Minister of War say that he wanted to keep the Queen Mother to deceive the officials of the State of Chen? Your Majesty..."

The Right Junior Official of the Dali Temple added insult to injury, "No need. The Chen Kingdom envoys can't see the Queen Mother, so they are just spreading false news. They don't need to keep the Queen Mother alive."

The Shaoqing of the Imperial Household Department was extremely angry. He saw the truth but didn't say anything.

But since the other party had said this, the Imperial Household Department Shaoqing could only suppress his anger and said, "Let alone the delegation, the Queen Mother and the State of Chu will probably communicate through secret letters. There might even be a code book left with the Queen Mother..."

The Right Junior Official of the Dali Temple coughed lightly and said, "No problem. I will be responsible for solving the problem."

The Imperial Household Department's Junior Official was furious. He didn't care that the Emperor was there. He pointed at the Right Junior Official of the Dali Department and cursed him in a sarcastic tone, "Are you so anxious to kill the Empress Dowager? Are you afraid that she will betray you alive?"

The Right Junior Official of the Dali Temple patted his sleeves calmly and said, "Your Majesty, I have a clear conscience."

The Shaoqing of the Imperial Household Department was so angry that he said, "How could you do this?"

Officials who had nothing to do with the Queen Mother's power shook their heads helplessly: Why bother to show our integrity at this time? The situation is already hopeless.

Several officials related to the Empress Dowager's power were moved and silently cheered for the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple.

At this time, the Imperial Household Department's Junior Secretary also turned to face the emperor, knelt down and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty. I... I am willing to lead my family to investigate the secrets hidden by the Queen Mother. I beg, I beg Your Majesty to allow my family to redeem themselves for their crimes."

The court officials all staggered: ...

It seems that you were so anxious before because you felt that the Right Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple had snatched away your chance to redeem yourself from your crime!

……

The Right Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple and the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Household Department started quarreling in a sarcastic tone. While they were quarreling, they were stabbing the Empress Dowager's forces in the back, trying to see who could stab the Empress Dowager first. Every stab of their swords was fatal.

The emperor watched coldly.

The court officials had many secret plans in their minds. They quarreled and fought during the day, and at night they might secretly talk by candlelight and rub each other's wounds. So he only listened to some of their words and took them into consideration appropriately.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the emperor slowly walked out of the pavilion.

The court officials were startled and bowed slightly, listening to His Majesty's final decision.

But the emperor did not say a word. He only left two prime ministers and six ministers, and then asked all other court officials to go home.

The court officials who were leaving were reluctant to leave, while those who stayed were extremely nervous.

The emperor motioned for everyone to sit down separately, and then said calmly: "I have suppressed all obstacles. Within three days, those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be exiled will be exiled. But what about the rules after the death penalty? Do you have any suggestions and arrangements?"

Even the court officials who had been mentally prepared were frightened by the three-day deadline and almost fell off their seats.

But if the tyrant orders you to die in three days, who would dare to keep you alive until five days?

The Minister of Revenue adjusted his kneeling position and took a deep breath like a thief. "I think we can announce to the public that the Queen Mother is praying for blessings behind closed doors because she feels guilty and no longer manages the affairs of the government. This way, the treasury of the Queen Mother and her relatives can be put into the national treasury in advance. When the time is right, we can announce to the world that the Queen Mother was assassinated by the Chen State envoys, and then take away all the funds brought by the Chen State envoys."

The emperor looked up in surprise: "You are well prepared."

The Minister of Revenue bowed modestly and said, "I only wish to relieve your worries."

"Obviously, it's for money." The Minister of War couldn't help but grumble in a low voice, then he clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I request that you torture the Queen Mother for two days before killing her. This way, it will be more realistic when you use the fake Queen Mother's identity to contact the Chen State envoys."

The emperor nodded: "Yes."

The Minister of Justice folded his hands and said, "Your Majesty. I have compiled a list of crimes committed by the Queen Mother's relatives, such as land annexation and bullying men and women. I think they can be tried in public. This will not only establish the image of justice in Daxia to the outside world, but also serve as a warning to others internally."

The emperor nodded: "Yes."

……

After listening for a while, Prime Minister Wang's expression gradually became subtle.

If you know, they are discussing the death of the Queen Mother and dealing with related matters. If you don't know, you would think that a group of people are excitedly sharing a feast.

Finally, the emperor made the final decision and everything was settled.

Immediately, Song Wei and Ming Wei rushed into the imprisoned Ci Ning and carried away the empress dowager who was unconscious on the bed.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes and found herself being carried on the beam and jumped back and forth. She was completely dazed.

He shouted in mid-air: "How dare you! Where did this assassin come from who dares to treat me like this..."

Before he could finish his words, he was thrown to the ground and rolled over.

"How dare you! I..."

"Aijia?" The familiar voice was filled with a hint of contempt. "You've been the Queen Mother for so long, do you really think of yourself as a woman?"

The empress dowager's face changed when she heard the voice. She looked up suddenly and happened to meet the emperor's condescending gaze.

"My dear, you..."

The emperor hooked his finger to the side, and at this moment, Ming Wei came over silently and cut open the empress dowager's clothes with one knife.

The Queen Mother screamed "Ah", crossed her arms and protected her chest tightly.
