After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

The spring breeze faded away, and early summer, with its sun rising earlier and earlier, urged the gods to try all the most corrupt cases since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The inky blackness of the sky faded a little, and the gates of the Taifu Mansion, which had not been opened for nearly two months, were wide open today.

Ah Shun personally drove the carriage along the old road that he had taken for nearly twenty years towards the palace. When he reached the narrow alley, two dark shadows fell from the sky.

The incense and the knocked-out Ah Shun were put into the carriage together. When Shen Jinmo saw with his own eyes that the carriage leaving the Taifu Mansion was driven towards a place for relaxation in the suburbs, he rode his horse towards the palace.

No matter how heavy the burden is, Shen Jinmo can carry it.

Wu Cixiu, who avoided today's events, would be able to survive.

The court, which had been in chaos for more than two months, fell into dead silence this morning.

It’s not that all these accusations and accusations have been clarified, but that all the accusations have lost their value.

The final outcome that Xia Hong wanted was already in this Golden Palace.

All the officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War who were thrown into prison had their lips and tongues gagged, their hands and feet tied, and they knelt in prison uniforms all the way from the Golden Palace to the Temple of Heaven.

The two ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue knelt in the Golden Palace, listening to Shen Jinmo explain the crimes committed by the two word by word. After he laid out all the hard evidence in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, they collapsed in the hall.

More than a decade of scheming has come to nothing today.

What he had to give up was not only his own life, but also the lives of his three clans, and nine clans at large.

They are the sinners of the family.

Xia Hong stepped down from the dragon throne and walked with heavy steps from the Golden Palace into the huge Temple of Heaven.

Jiong Jiong's eyes were filled with disappointment as he looked at these termites living in the capital of gods one by one.

Xia Hong's disappointment with the court officials and his guilt towards the people made him feel weak.

Eunuch Lin wanted to support Xia Hong, but was directly brushed away by the king.

Xia Hong, we must seek justice from this court official on behalf of the people.

One hand pointed to the Minister of War and said: "Ministry of War, you should prepare for war for the people and protect the country for the people, but when the war broke out in the East, you had no men and no weapons, and the people of the East were brutally slaughtered by the Japanese on New Year's Eve."

In great anger and hatred, Xia Hong kicked the two prisoners at his feet and said, "Ministry of Revenue, you should have saved money for the people and stabilized the country for the people, but you couldn't come up with money last year due to the drought and locust plague, and you are also penniless this year when the Tiger Army goes to war."

"But Lord Shen brought people to search and confiscate the property of your Shangshu Mansion guards. Now half a month has passed, and we still haven't been able to sort out all the property."

"I have worked hard since I ascended the throne, but the result is that the people are not prosperous, the army is not strong, and the treasury is empty."

"I have been tossing and turning for the past two years, and I can't understand why I ended up like this."

"It is only now that I understand that the efforts of the two emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty over the past twenty years have impoverished the people of the world, and only enriched your two departments of soldiers and households!"

"What do you have to tell me?"

"How can I explain this to the people of this world?"

"How can I explain this to my ancestors a hundred years from now?"

The officials in the hall were overwhelmed by the responsibility of the country and fell to their knees: "I am terrified!"

Xia Hong held Eunuch Lin's hand and once again stepped up to the pinnacle of power step by step.

Compared to the first time he embarked on this road to the pinnacle of power, this time, most of the blood was washed away, and the road became the color of Xia Hong's joy.

Sitting firmly on the dragon throne, he looked down at these ministers who were tightly tied up and unable to speak or move.

Once upon a time, they helped Xia Hong usurp the throne.

Later, these people became a stain that kept Xia Hong awake at night.

Now, he, Xia Hongqing, sits on the throne with a clear conscience, and has completely washed away these biggest stains.

And those tiny spots of mud will be washed away in the days to come.

After carefully looking at all the civil and military officials in the court, Xia Hong's brows began to furrow.

The messenger who delivered the message last night said that Wu Cixiu would definitely attend court today, but where is Wu Cixiu anywhere in the hall now?

The gloomy emperor's rage was overwhelming, causing the knife hanging on the neck of the courtier in the hall to fall rapidly.

A figure walked into the Golden Palace in the sunlight. The sunlight refracted the figure, and the shadow covered the court officials kneeling in the palace.

Without saying a word, he bowed to Xia Hong every three steps and kowtowed every nine steps.

After serving as an official in the court for more than ten years, this was the first time that Wu Cixiu demonstrated humility to the extreme.

Xia Hong didn't quite understand what Wu Cixiu meant by this.

Could it be that Wu Cixiu chose to bow down and kneel in order to save his life?

There was no rush to know the answer. These ministers would kneel down and give Xia Hong the answer he wanted.

Shen Jinmo stood on the golden pillar in the Golden Palace, and the strength in his body began to be eroded at an extremely fast rate.

From the moment Wu Cixiu showed up in the Golden Palace, everything was irreversible.

The person sitting in the carriage driven by A Shun today was not Wu Cixiu.

"I have already made such a big mistake that I am ashamed of my ancestors, and I cannot make the same mistake again."

"Officials above the level of vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War who commit crimes shall have their three clans executed, and all men within the nine clans shall be sent to the army, and women shall be exiled three thousand miles away."

He raised his hand and pointed at the two ministers who were kneeling on the ground and seemed to be relieved: "These two people are just sitting there doing nothing, wantonly squandering the people's wealth, and disrupting the clean and honest officialdom of our Great Xia Dynasty. Their entire clans should be exterminated to appease the public anger!"

After the order was given, all the bound officials were escorted out of the Golden Palace and paraded through the streets in cages by the imperial guards.

Xia Hong wanted to let all the people in the world know how fair and strict he was, and how much he cared about the people.

At the signal of Xia Hongzhi, the Minister of Personnel announced the successors one by one, and then Eunuch Lin personally led them into the half-empty Golden Palace.

The originally vacant seats were filled one by one, and order in the court began to quietly return.

The human lives at stake today are enough to make these officials see clearly what Xia Hong is doing now.

No one knows how long these civil and military officials in the court can stand here, and no one knows how long they can survive under Xia Hong's nose.

They always feel that they will not have a good ending.

Pairs of hands hidden under official robes began to secretly gather strength. The emperor's mind was fickle, and they considered retreating.

They want to survive.

They were willing to return everything they had gained over the years to Xia Hong, just to save their own lives.

But they did not dare to be the first to stand out in the Golden Palace. They were afraid that Xia Hong would get angry and directly implicate their own three clans and nine tribes.

But they did not dare to walk up to Xia Hong and resign after the morning court today.

How can one person resist the king who is the Lord of all nations?

Wu Cixiu slowly raised his drooping head, and straightened his bent waist. He looked up at where the dragon throne was, and then looked back at the hesitation of the civil and military officials in the court.

Kneeling and moving to the center of the Golden Throne Hall, Wu Cixiu kowtowed to Xia Hongsan and said, "I am old and weak, and cannot be the Grand Tutor of the Great Xia Dynasty. Therefore, I ask the Emperor to allow me to retire today."
