"No, Madam Concubine!"

"Yan Tingyu, you are so brave!"

"I am the king!"

The childish voice whispered words that were not appropriate for this age.

Yan Tinglan pinched the white beads floating beside him and asked, "Did he experience his past life in a dream?"

"That's right." Wanjiezhu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the next emperor who would be usurped would be reborn.

"Host, do you want me to erase his memory?"

"Keep it, and tell him to stop talking, so as not to make the palace people suspicious."

"Oh."

The Pearl of All Worlds circled around Yan Chengfeng, and soon he calmed down.

After asking someone to come in and look after Yan Chengfeng, Yan Tinglan went back to have dinner.

Dinner had been served by the palace servants. Zhang Yuanlu tasted the dishes one by one. After tasting, Yan Tinglan waved his hand to let everyone go, and he enjoyed his dinner quietly.

A quarter of an hour later, Yan Tinglan subconsciously reached out to the side, but ended up grabbing air.

His fingertips curled up, and Yan Tinglan silently withdrew his hand, feeling that the food in front of him was a little hard to swallow.

The Pearl of All Worlds rested on the chair next to it. Why did the dog host feel a little pitiful?

Subconscious actions will not lie, he still can't forget Shu Shiyu.

"Host, work hard on the mission, and I will really take you to see her." Wanjiezhu whispered.

Yan Tinglan glanced at it and said in a light voice, "She really won't be here?"

Wanjiezhu was silent and said nothing.

Silly Zhuzi, you'd better not let me find out that you are lying to me.

After eating, Yan Tinglan went to wash up and went to court at dawn the next day.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you demoted the ranks of many concubines yesterday. May I ask, what did the concubines do wrong to make you so angry?" Censor Wang Geng came out of the queue and asked.

Yan Tinglan's cold gaze fell on him.

All the officials remained silent. The court was silent for a moment and the atmosphere was cold.

Cold sweat dripped down Wang Geng's forehead and his bent waist ached slightly, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

It had only been a month since they last met, but the Emperor was already so majestic and his cold gaze made him want to tremble.

When Wang Geng wanted to kneel down, Yan Tinglan finally spoke up, "Wang Geng, demoted to Imperial Censor."

"I was seriously injured and just returned to court today. Have you ever asked me anything? Instead, you asked about my harem first."

"You all received the news from the harem very quickly."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The courtier knelt down in fear.

"Why did I demote them? When the Imperial Concubine and the First Prince fell into the water, they came more quickly than the Imperial Physician. They said they were here to greet the Imperial Concubine and the First Prince, but their eyes never left me."

"The greetings are fake, but the competition for favor is real."

Yan Tinglan's eyes swept over them, "During the seven days that I was unconscious, none of you seemed to be worried at all."

"Everyone will be demoted one level."

"Your Majesty!" The court officials all looked up, their eyes full of disapproval.

Yan Tinglan sneered, "Why, do you really think I'm a soft persimmon?"

"Zhang Zhiyuan was promoted to Prime Minister, and Li Tengyu was demoted to Vice Minister."

"Mo Zeyu was promoted to Minister of Revenue, and Cheng Yang was demoted to Vice Minister."

"..."

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?!" Li Tengyu couldn't help but stand up after hearing that.

"What are you doing?" Yan Tinglan threw the folded paper at him. The sharp corner of the folded paper poked his forehead and cut it.

"Selling official positions, exaggerating casualties, and failing in duty!"

"Did you bow to me when you stood up? Did you show respect for the monarch in your words?"

"If you don't respect the emperor and don't perform your duties, you are not worthy of being a prime minister!"

"I haven't chopped off your head yet!"

"Has the flood in Jiangdong been resolved? I asked you to resolve the flood, but you went to travel and enjoy the scenery!" Yan Tinglan walked down from the dragon throne, drew the sword from the guard's waist, and walked in front of Li Tengyu.

The cold sword was against his neck. "I would rather chop you off than demote you."

He is not Yan Tingyuan, so he will not indulge them. Not doing it? There are many people who want to do it.

All the officials were terrified, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, you can't do this!"

"Zhang Yuanlu."

"Here!" Zhang Yuanlu brought the things over.

Yan Tinglan picked up the things on the tray, threw it at the feet of the courtiers, and slashed Li Tengyu's neck with a sword.

The smell of blood spread, Li Tengyu widened his eyes, covered his neck and twitched on the ground.

The officials picked up the papers on the ground in horror and found that they were all evidence of Li Teng's selling of official positions, failure to perform his duties, accepting bribes, and forming cliques for personal gain.

Yan Tinglan returned to the dragon throne holding the sword and sat down. The blood-dripping long sword was inserted beside him. "Since you refute my words, and since my words don't work, then the sword should work."

Yan Tingyu was terrified when he saw that his once cowardly brother suddenly became violent at the first morning court session after recovering from a serious injury.

"I am not killing without a warrant."

"Do you like to place spies in my harem?" Yan Tinglan curled the corners of his lips coldly and raised his hand.

The imperial guards at the rear of the palace brought out the palace maids and eunuchs in disheveled shapes, and forced them to kneel in front of the officials who had sent them out.

"do you know it?"

"No, I don't know him." The officials shook their heads in fear.

"Don't know him?" Yan Tinglan sneered, "Bring up the confession."

The imperial guards pushed confessions in front of them one by one, and they were speechless.

"Spying on my harem is an attempt to subvert the imperial power and will be thrown into prison."

A bunch of officials who had great power in the court were dragged away.

Yan Tinglan glanced at the remaining people, causing them to tense up and almost tremble, fearing that they would be the next person to be taken away.

The emperor came today well prepared. Maybe the coma of the previous seven days was just a decoy. In fact, he was secretly collecting evidence against them and catching them all in one fell swoop.

Finally, the man sitting on the dragon chair paused and said, "Imprison Yan Tingyu and send him to the frontier."

"Brother Emperor! What mistake have I made?" Yan Tingyu struggled.

"Wei Anqing, let him die knowingly."

"Yes!" The commander of the imperial guards, Wei Anqing, walked up to him with evidence, "Prince Yu listened to Yu's words and bribed a killer to assassinate the emperor. The emperor exiled him out of consideration for the brotherhood."

The evidence was thrown at his feet.

As for the brotherhood? How could he survive the exile?

Yan Tingyu's pupils contracted. How did he find out?

"Now that all the termites have been eliminated, let's go to court." After the imperial guards had dragged away all those who should be dragged away, Yan Tinglan said.

The remaining officials looked at the pool of blood not far away and tried hard to overcome their shaking legs. Who would still be in the mood to attend court?

When did the emperor become so efficient and decisive?

"Zhang Zhiyuan."

"I'm here." Zhang Zhiyuan moved out with great effort.

"You will take over the flood in Jiangdong and handle it within half a month."

"Yes." Zhang Zhiyuan returned to the queue and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Mo Zeyu."

"The minister is here."

"The remaining officials will be promoted if they should be promoted, and demoted if they should be demoted, based on their abilities."

Mo Zeyu's heart skipped a beat. "Your Majesty, how should I investigate this?"

"You ask me?"

"I will definitely do it!" Mo Zeyu felt the other party's dangerous gaze and quickly agreed.

I'm going to offend people again.

"The border reported that the northern barbarians were invading Changyang Pass, and the garrison was insufficient. The Song Dynasty pacified the enemy and dispatched 150,000 troops from the eastern suburbs to support the northwestern border."

"My lord, take your orders!"

Song Zhengping almost burst into tears. As a military general, he finally had a chance to use his talents.

Having long been trapped in party struggles and besieged in the capital, Song Zhengping looked at the banners with tears in his eyes, often worrying that his country would perish.

After dealing with other matters, Yan Tinglan withdrew from the court.

Zhang Yuanlu followed behind him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"what you want to say?"

"Your Majesty, you have changed a lot."
