On the next morning, the prince consort was ready to go to court. Seeing that the princess was still asleep, he finished his breakfast and went to the servants in the mansion to tell them not to tell the princess about the empress dowager's death. Anyone who leaked a word would be severely punished. After saying that, he went to the court.

In the court, there were golden dragons coiled around the pillars, and the emperor sat on the dragon throne in a magnificent manner. He asked, why didn't I see General Lin today?

The minister who was on good terms with General Lin replied that the emperor, General Lin, had caught a cold and was feeling unwell, and wanted to ask the emperor for a few days' leave.

The emperor looked very unhappy, and his eyes flashed with cold light. He said, "I know, and I told the ministers insidiously, tell General Lin to take good care of his injuries and not to rush back."

The minister replied, I obey your order.

The emperor said something confusing today. He stood up and said to the ministers, "I have only been on the throne for a few years. Since I am the emperor of the world, I must do something for the people of the world. I cannot let the people and loyal ministers feel cold. Although you all stand on the dry shore with high-sounding words, are you really so clean? I know that some of you are corrupt, embezzle, exploit the people, and bribe. I advise you to turn your hearts, lungs, and intestines out, dry them, wash them, and tidy them up."

My ancestors handed the country to me, but I turned it into this state. I am deeply saddened. I have committed a crime against the country, I am ashamed of my ancestors, and I am ashamed of heaven and earth. From now on, I will eradicate this cancer to revitalize the court. If I find that any of you are secretly colluding, I will never be soft-hearted. I will let you know what it means to be far away from home. After the emperor finished speaking, he sat on the dragon throne.

All the ministers knelt down and trembled, saying, "We are following the emperor's instructions. We dare not do anything else. We swear to be loyal to the emperor until death."

The emperor looked at the ministers below, among whom there were very few loyal ministers. He looked at the cunning ministers and said coldly, "My words today are also a warning and a warning. I didn't say it before because I wanted to give some of you a warning, hoping that you can know your mistakes and correct them in time. Who knew that you would challenge my imperial power more and more? Are the things you do still human? The emperor's eyes were red at this time, as if he wanted to eat all the corrupt officials. The court was so quiet that everyone knelt down to listen to the emperor's punishment.

The emperor suddenly slammed the table and stood up, his whole body surging with anger, as if he wanted to shake the whole palace. The emperor's majesty instantly enveloped the entire hall, suffocating it. On his majestic face, there was a complex expression of turbulence, and his brows were full of thoughts. The emperor said, "The Right Censor-in-Chief and the Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief were poisoned and killed in my prison. You are really powerful. Didn't you kill them? Don't I know how you are officials? How do you treat your colleagues and the people?"

Do you really think that I can sit on this throne just because I am the child of the emperor? There are spies everywhere. I can see everything you do outside. I just want to remind you not to force me. Stop it in time, otherwise you will all be executed in the future. It will be too late. I advise you who are sensible to report it to the emperor, or go to the emperor's husband, and the emperor will report it to me. All the corrupt officials in the court will be handed over to the emperor's husband for investigation.

The prince consort said quickly,

The emperor then asked, "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say? If not, please leave the court."
