The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Si Yan knew that Qi Ziyu was still worried that she would have difficulty dealing with those princes.

After all, these princes hold certain military power, and they have blood ties with the royal family.

Most of them were the brothers of the late emperor, although he had already gone through a wave of brutal fighting when he ascended the throne.

But the late emperor had too many half-brothers, and when Prince Xin rebelled, several princes were ready to take action.

Although they scattered in the end, they still kept thinking about this position.

As long as she solved the problem of the princes and could calm the Daxuan court, Qi Ziyu could rest assured and recuperate.

"Your Majesty, the King of Southwest has been brought here." Yi Jiang hurried into the hall to report.

Everyone looked up and saw that Yi Jiangfeng had a bloodstain on his face and his hair was a little messy, obviously he had fought with someone.

Coming in with Yi Jiangfeng was the King of the Southwest, whose upper body was tied up.

The King of the Southwest was covered in mud and had obviously struggled for a while before he was finally captured.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?" The King of Southwest looked at Qi Ziyu who was sitting in a high position with sharp eyes.

The King of Southwest is in his fifties, but he looks strong and there is no trace of old age on his face. Instead, he looks very energetic.

Even though he was in a mess at the moment, he still straightened his back and held his head high.

Qi Ziyu opened his lips, feeling some pain in his lungs, so he remained silent.

Si Yan spoke on behalf of Qi Ziyu: "The King of Southwest knows what he has done."

"Who are you?" The King of Southwest glanced at Si Yan, "Why is there a woman present in the presence of His Majesty?"

Duke Anguo shouted angrily, "King of the Southwest must not be disrespectful. This is General Si Yan."

Although the King of Southwest had never met Si Yan, he had long guessed that the only woman in the hall was Si Yan, the first-rank female official in front of the emperor.

Si Yan has two identities. He was also named the Flying Eagle General in the State of Yan. Now he is famous all over the world.

There is no one in the entire Daxuan who doesn’t know this woman.

The King of the Southwest sneered, "Oh? Now, a woman is in charge of this palace?"

Si Yan looked at Yi Jiangfeng calmly, "The King of Southwest has met His Majesty, but it seems he hasn't saluted yet?"

Yi Jiangfeng immediately understood, stepped forward and kicked the Southwest King in the knee, knocking him to the ground.

The King of Southwest stood up immediately, but Yi Jiangfeng kicked him again, and the King of Southwest lost his balance and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to do? What crime have I committed to deserve being captured and brought to the palace by the imperial guards?"

The King of Southwest was filled with anger. He didn't even look at Si Yan, but looked straight at Qi Ziyu.

Judging from Qi Ziyu's appearance, he probably won't live long.

Once Qi Ziyu dies, no matter how powerful Si Yan is, the kingdom of Daxuan will belong to their Qi family and has nothing to do with Si Yan.

The King of the Southwest stared at Qi Ziyu and said, "If Your Majesty does not give me an explanation today, I believe that the princes of Daxuan will not agree."

The words of the King of Southwest were a naked threat.

Si Yan waved towards Yi Jiangfeng, and Hu Wen, who was beaten half to death, was pushed up.

The King of the Southwest's expression suddenly darkened, and he looked at Hu Wen lying on the ground in disbelief.

Have they found out all this?

Si Yan chuckled, "What crime did the King of Southwest say he had committed?"

The King of the Southwest tried his best to calm down and said calmly: "I don't know."

"Then I will tell the King of the Southwest that you have committed the death penalty for treason."

Si Yan emphasized the word "death penalty" with great emphasis, and the King of Southwest's head was buzzing.

"Nonsense!" King of the Southwest retorted fiercely, shaking his beard.

Si Yan looked at Hu Wen lying on the ground. "Hu Wen has confessed everything. The King of Southwest first had him drug Your Majesty, causing him to feel cold, and then had him suggest that Your Majesty drink the medicinal wine you sent as tribute to warm himself up, thus plotting against Your Majesty. And yet the King of Southwest still refuses to admit it?"

Everyone was shocked. The King of Southwest actually plotted to harm His Majesty?

The King of the Southwest argued cunningly, "I have never done such a thing. It's true that this medicinal wine was a tribute from me, but there is nothing wrong with it..."

Hu Wen panted heavily and pointed at the King of Southwest: "King of Southwest, you are the one who ordered me to do everything..."

The King of the Southwest glared at Hu Wen with bloodshot eyes: "You want to bite me? You're courting death!"

Hu Wen shuddered all over, shaking with fear: "You...you..."

The hall was silent for a moment, and everyone took a deep breath. The King of the Southwest was tied up with ropes, but he exuded a sense of pride.

Si Yan chuckled: "The King of the Southwest is plotting treason and plotting to harm Your Majesty. He shall be executed immediately."

Everyone was stunned and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

The King of the Southwest couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say?"

Si Yan didn't even glance at the King of the Southwest, but turned to look at Yi Jiangfeng: "Commander Yi, didn't you hear?"

Yi Jiangfeng finally came to his senses and looked at Qi Ziyu, only to see that the emperor didn't react at all.

"Drag him away!" Yi Jiangfeng waved his hand, and two palace guards immediately stepped forward and held the King of Southwest.

The King of Southwest stared at Si Yan. This woman wanted to kill him?

He struggled and shouted at Qi Ziyu, "Your Majesty, please speak! Do you really want to kill me?"

The King of the Southwest was very strong. Although his entire upper body was tied up, the two palace guards could not drag him away even though they pulled hard.

The King of Southwest then felt fear. This woman really wanted to kill him, but the emperor didn't care at all.

"You know, when I came here, I already told you that if I couldn't return safely, the princes would raise the banner of rebellion, purge the court, and get rid of the evil woman."

Si Yan glanced at the King of Southwest, then smiled at the two imperial guards and said, "Drag him away. Haven't you eaten yet?"

The two imperial guards felt a chill down their spines, and immediately used all their strength to drag the King of Southwest away.

"Your Majesty! Don't you dare do this, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, don't you want the throne of Daxuan anymore?"

"You actually listened to a woman! You're trying to destroy the Daxuan Empire!"

"If I die, the princes will rebel."

With a "hiss" sound, the King of the Southwest stopped shouting, and a head rolled to the ground with a muffled sound.

There was a tense atmosphere in the emperor's bedroom. None of the ministers had expected that Si Yan could kill the King of Southwest so easily.

Your Majesty did not say a word from beginning to end, which means he agreed.

Lord Si Yan's thundering methods are truly admirable.

Si Yan looked at Qi Ziyu and said, "Your Majesty, the King of the Southwest has been executed. Now, Your Majesty may issue an edict requiring all princes to send their direct descendants between the ages of five and twenty-five to the Shangjing to be trained as the future heirs of Daxuan."

The ministers immediately understood that they were training an heir, but were actually holding him as a hostage.

At this time, Duke Pei suddenly raised a question: "Master Si Yan, what if these princes refuse?"

Although the two are grandfather and granddaughter, their status is different in the court, and Duke Pei has to call Si Yan "Sir".

"Duke Pei, who does he think would refuse?" Si Yan smiled slightly and looked at his grandfather who had always kept a low profile.

Duke Pei said without hesitation, "King Wu and King Han will probably refuse."

"Your Excellency, the Duke, is very discerning and right. Among the princes, apart from the King of Southwest, only the King of Wu and the King of Han have the courage to resist."

Si Yan already knew all about the princes of Daxuan.

The rest of the princes are all wimps.

If they want to condense, it is like someone trying to shape the sand in his hand into a ball.

Duke Pei looked at his granddaughter and asked, "If they don't obey, what will the court do?"
