Interstellar arranged marriage: The big guys rose after being deposed

"You are my subjects. If you cannot firmly follow me, then what do I need you for? Spending money to support ungrateful people?"

The emperor's words made the ministers blush. They kowtowed again and again to express their repentance and loyalty.

"Alright, no matter how good your promises to me are, who knows if the next time there is Elder Li or Elder Wang who wants to rebel and usurp the throne, will you still act like a stone pillar and pretend that you saw nothing, and let our two factions fight each other, and when it is almost over, you will choose the force that has a 90% chance of becoming the future emperor to show your loyalty.

I know exactly what you are thinking. I hope this lesson will serve as a warning to you and that you won’t go down the wrong path again.” The emperor said calmly.

The ministers nodded repeatedly. As long as they could still serve in the Interstellar Empire, they would still have a chance to succeed.

The emperor waved his hand and the ministers hurriedly stood aside.

At this moment, the emperor had a thought, and another group of ministers were released. This group was a solid party of the emperor. They had always stood behind the emperor, willing to be the sword in the emperor's hand to check and balance all forces in the court.

The emperor's expression softened. "Thank you for your hard work over the years. As a minister, you must recognize your position and be clear about your obligations, so that you can have better development.

You can't treat others as fools. People like that can't please both sides, but they are still complacent about themselves. They are really stupid..."

The first group of ministers standing nearby were silent. They always felt that the emperor was suspected of making indirect accusations.

"I have seen all your efforts. From today on, you will be promoted to a higher rank and rewarded with 30,000 crystal stones..."

The second group of ministers thanked the emperor loudly and excitedly, and stood on the other side, facing the first group of ministers. They raised their eyebrows proudly, showing off in a way that made people ask for a beating.

At this moment, the emperor's guards also walked into the hall. After surrounding the fog group, the emperor withdrew the formation.

The warriors who were so full of vigor before, had been struggling in the formation for most of the day. They were already hungry and had lost most of their fighting spirit. They were quickly subdued by the guards.

Without the support of these warriors, the Dai elders became much more obedient. To be more precise, they were mentally exhausted, hungry and thirsty, and they really couldn't do anything new for the time being.

"Lord Dai, are you convinced now?" the emperor asked with a chuckle.

"I don't accept it." Elder Dai knew that he had made such a big mistake and would definitely not survive, so he wanted to piss off the emperor. "You just relied on the formation to catch us off guard. If you have the ability, you can do it yourself..."

The emperor couldn't help laughing and interrupted him: "You speak as if you are so powerful. If your Dai family hadn't recruited such a group of elite warriors, would you dare to covet my position?

Your mistake is that you shouldn't have such ambitions, but I will also give you the respect you deserve for your Dai family's contributions to the empire."

Dai Ge Lao was heartbroken. Yes, if he hadn't had this idea, he would still be the Prime Minister, second only to the emperor. But now, he has to pay for his ambition with his life.

He clenched his fists and closed his eyes. "I didn't lose to you, but to Prince Yan! If he hadn't stood firmly on your side and won over many talented people, I'm afraid I would be in a high position now..."

The emperor laughed in anger and ordered people to drag Dai Ge Lao away. "Dai Cheng committed treason and usurped the throne. His crime is extremely serious and he shall be hanged! All other important positions of the Dai family shall be dismissed and their crimes shall be strictly investigated... and all assets of the Dai family shall be confiscated... Starting from Dai Cheng's son, no one shall be allowed to serve as an official in the court for ten generations, nor shall they be allowed to enter the national school, and they shall be restricted from going abroad..."

Lord Dai was completely in despair, and it was of no use regretting his decision.

If he died alone, it would be fine. It was his misjudgment that made him not have enough ability to compete with the emperor. However, he became the sinner of the Dai family. Ten generations of his descendants could not get a good education and could not go to other places to find opportunities. It was equivalent to putting the Dai family on hold for the next ten generations. After the punishment was over, the Dai family's advantage would no longer exist.

"Emperor, please, if you have any problem, just come to me! This is all my idea, it has nothing to do with them... If you think hanging is not enough, you can also let someone else torture you to death. I promise to make you feel better."

"Don't you think it's too late now? I've already given your Dai family face by handling this matter this way. Don't push your luck! You should know what the family members of the guilty ministers will suffer..." The emperor sneered, "Do you still think that what you say is what counts?"

Dai Cheng had a lot to say, but he couldn't even open his mouth. He was dragged away in dejection and despair.

The emperor now looked at the trembling queen and said calmly: "Dai Yi, tell me, what bad things have you done! Confess and I will give you leniency, resist and I will give you severity. You only have this one chance, maybe the answer will satisfy me and I can let you continue to live. Otherwise, you can go with your father!"

The queen still hasn't figured out what happened. Her father was clearly more than 90% sure, so how could he lose?

She bit her lip and told him about the bullying she had done since she could remember. "I just have a bad temper and an arrogant personality, but I didn't do anything to harm anyone's life."

"Where is my son?" Concubine Xu asked word by word.

A flash of joy flashed across the queen's face, but she stammered, "My father did it. He said that the prince could only be born from my belly. According to his intention, the prince should be executed directly.

But I felt that too many people had been sacrificed for the throne, and this child was the emperor's, so I couldn't bear it and planned to save him.

But I couldn’t stand Concubine Xu, so I sent him to the Tianhai Star Body…”

The emperor had a talisman that allowed him to read minds, and he heard the queen's thoughts, which were pretty much the same as what she said.

It's just that their starting points are different! She is not kind-hearted, but feels that death is too easy for Concubine Xu's child.

So she let the little prince suffer all kinds of hardships on the Tianhai star body. He had imperial blood but was not destined to ascend the throne!

The emperor was so angry that he laughed. It turned out that the daughter of the Dai family was so black that she could be turned into white.

"Okay, it's a waste of time for me to listen to your nonsense here," the emperor stood up and walked out with Concubine Xu by his hand, "I think we should also throw her to the Tianhai star body. A five-year-old prince will do, she will live better as an adult, right?"

"Wu Tuo, how dare you! No matter how bad I am, I am still your legally married wife, the queen of the Interstellar Empire. Where did you throw me? Will you ever come back?

Can you let your wife be bullied by others? "Dai Yi apologized again and again, this time her tone was sincere and full of pleading. "Please don't leave me..."
