He had originally been unwilling to give up and wanted to continue his stubbornness, but at this moment, the panic in his heart surged like a tidal wave, making it impossible for him to maintain his composure. He could only shut his mouth in dismay, a look of unconcealable embarrassment on his face, and stood there like a wooden stick, at a loss as to what to do.

At that moment, a clear and resolute "Wait!" suddenly rang out, like a thunderbolt shattering the brief silence in the court. Everyone was startled, and they all looked in the direction of the voice, their gazes finally landing on the ever-reticent Bi Yue.

Bi Yue stood erect, like a towering mountain, striding toward the center of the court with steady, powerful steps. He faced the scrutinizing gazes of the civil and military officials, and the Dragon King, seated on his throne, radiating supreme majesty, fearlessly. Then, taking a deep breath, he unhesitatingly recounted the heinous crimes committed by the powerful minister.

Bi Yue's voice was clear and resonant, like the mighty tones of a large bell, each word articulated with clarity and force. He detailed, one by one, the sordid deeds hidden in the dark corners, exposing them one by one in broad daylight. As he recounted, the court erupted in an uproar. Everyone was shocked by these shocking revelations, whispering and discussing them.

Furthermore, just as everyone was stunned, he calmly reached into his arms and, unexpectedly, pulled out a thick stack of evidence. He held it firmly in his hand, as if it weighed a thousand pounds. This action was like dropping a bombshell into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

The evidence was undeniable, its details astonishing, and its details irrefutable. Every detail, both written and physical, pointed to the guilt of this powerful individual.

At this moment, Bi Yue, who had been standing silently by, stepped forward. Holding the invaluable evidence in both hands, he approached the almighty Dragon King with a respectful and solemn expression. When he finally reached the Dragon King, he bowed deeply before carefully handing the evidence to him.

In an instant, the entire court fell into a deathly silence. The ministers were utterly terrified, not daring to utter a single breath. All eyes were fixed on the Dragon King, drawn as if by a magnet. A heavy rock weighed down their hearts, weighing them down. They held their breath, anxiously awaiting the Dragon King's final decision.

The Dragon King's face was as gloomy as water. He extended his dignified hands and accepted the evidence presented by Bi Yue. At first, he flipped through it casually, but as time went on, his movements became slower and more cautious. With each page, his expression grew more solemn, and his once deep eyes now gleamed with anger and majesty.

Finally, when the last page was turned, the Dragon King could no longer suppress the surging emotions within him. With a loud bang, he slammed the armrest of his throne and shouted in rage, "What an audacious and treacherous minister!"

This roar, like thunder, reverberated endlessly throughout the vast court. Everyone trembled, knowing full well that today's events were likely to cause a major uproar.

After a thorough review, the Dragon King had confirmed that the evidence was not fabricated but genuine, authentic proof. He had long harbored discontent with this powerful official's long-standing control of government and arbitrary actions. However, lacking sufficient evidence to expose his true colors, he had been forced to remain silent. Yet, now, faced with this mountain of irrefutable evidence, the Dragon King's joy was indescribable. He knew that this would finally eradicate this corrupted court and restore peace to the land.

The newly appointed Dragon King sat upright on the throne, his gaze fixed on the court, vowing to seize this rare opportunity to completely eradicate the malignant tumor that had long entrenched itself within the court. He knew only by doing so could he restore order and restore peace and prosperity to the land.

However, the Dragon King knew full well that it would be no easy task to bring down that powerful minister. Therefore, even though he was filled with rage and determination, he still had to proceed with caution and caution.

After all, that powerful official was no ordinary figure, commanding an astonishingly large military force. Furthermore, after years of painstakingly managing the imperial court, he had already carefully planted countless trusted confidants in various key departments. These individuals, like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, could at any moment pose a fatal obstacle to the Dragon King's actions.

"My king, please be extremely careful. Besides the powerful minister commanding a large military force, we must also be especially vigilant about the minions he has planted in various departments over the years!" Bi Yue, standing nearby, said to the Dragon King with a solemn and worried look. He then respectfully handed the Dragon King a thick stack of evidence.

The Dragon King took the heavy stack of papers and flipped through the pages, each one listing the crimes. His expression darkened. This overwhelming evidence finally gave the Dragon King complete resolve. He abruptly stood up, slammed the table, and declared, "Immediately dismiss that powerful official from all official positions and cast him into the Heavenly Prison to await trial!"

However, using the term "quanchen" here might be more accurate. Generally speaking, "貴臣" often focuses on describing a person with bad morals, evil hearts, and ulterior motives; whereas "權臣" emphasizes that the person possesses excessive power, to the point that this powerful force is sufficient to pose a serious threat to the monarch's rule.

When the powerful official heard this decision, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.

He was once so majestic and arrogant, but now he has ended up like this, and no one dares to come forward to help or plead for him.

From that day on, the entire court seemed to have experienced a huge change like a storm.

Those who had close contacts with the powerful official were also found to have committed various crimes and were subsequently dismissed from office and punished.

The court structure that once seemed rock-solid was instantly broken and reshuffled, and a group of newly appointed officials quickly filled the important positions left by those previously dismissed officials.
