After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

"That's enough. This is the imperial study, not a market. What's the point of making so much noise?"

Emperor Jiade rubbed his temples, feeling extremely irritated. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily, "Have you had enough of this?"

Everyone fell silent immediately, and the hall was completely silent. Emperor Jiade stared at Tong Guoan, his eyes full of disappointment and anger. He panted and said word by word: "Tong Guoan, I'm asking you one last time, have you really thought it through?"

Tong Guoan raised his head, nodded firmly, and said, "Your Majesty, I have thought it through clearly.

A man like Tong Wenjie is not worthy of being my son, let alone inheriting the family business of Duke Yue's Mansion. Your Majesty, please be discerning and severely punish this unfilial son!"

Emperor Jiade sneered and said, "What a righteous man, Lord Tong!"

Tong Guoan kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I speak from the bottom of my heart. I dare not say a single word of falsehood. If I say anything untrue, I hope the sky will strike me with lightning."

Emperor Jiade waved his hand, motioning Tong Guoan to stand up, and then said: "Forget it, I don't want to pursue it any further. However, since you insist on doing so, I will grant your wish.

Come, draft an order...

In the case of the theft in the Yueguo Mansion treasury, all the stolen goods and money seized were taken back to the national treasury.

The Nine Gates Admiral Tong Guoan was seriously injured while suppressing bandits and was relieved of his post to recuperate at home.

As for the title of Duke Yue, since people have died for the title, it’s better not to have it.

Reclaim the title of Duke of Yue.

Grant the old lady of Duke Yue’s mansion the title of First-Rank Lady, and enjoy a salary higher than that of the First-Rank…”

As the emperor finished speaking, the expressions of Tong Guoan, Li Yue'er and Tong Wencai became increasingly gloomy.

They originally wanted to band together to kick Tong Wenjie out of the house, but they never expected that not only would his title and family property be taken away, but even his position as the Nine Gates Admiral would be completely stripped away.

The so-called rest and recuperation, when one can recover, that all depends on the emperor's wishes.

"Your Majesty..." Tong Guoan was truly panicked at this moment. He just shouted, his lips trembling slightly. He wanted to beg for mercy, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

"Tong Guoan, are you dissatisfied with my decision?" the emperor asked majestically.

"I dare not!" Tong Guoan replied quickly.

"Humph, is it just that you don't dare?" The emperor sneered.

Tong Guoan, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling with fear. Beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead slid down his gray temples and dripped onto the ground.

"Forget it, you are my uncle after all.

My mother died early, and you are her only brother.

I'll give you one last chance."

Emperor Jiade looked at Tong Guoan who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of disappointment and disgust. He raised his hand and asked the eunuch Li Chengen beside him to put all the evidence and confession in front of Tong Guoan, and said coldly: "Tong Guoan, take a good look at yourself and see what kind of vicious person the woman you have doted on for so many years is!"

This time, Tong Guoan didn't dare to tear up the evidence and confession. It was useless. No matter whether Tong Guoan believed it or not, Emperor Gad would definitely believe it.

Tong Guoan picked up the evidence and confession in front of him with trembling hands, and sweated profusely as he read it...

Tong Guoan suddenly closed the memorial in his hand, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a moment...

"I still don't believe it..."
