Happy Emperor

Ji Feng's face was extremely gloomy. At this moment, he could no longer remain calm and suddenly stood up.

"The Minister of War is a high-ranking official. The Emperor can kill him at will. It seems that you no longer take me, the Minister of the Grand Council, seriously."

Lin Tian sneered and angrily said, "Why should I take you seriously? Aren't you my fucking subject?"

As soon as these words were spoken, one could hear a pin drop in the entire court.

Everyone was shocked that Emperor Li had killed the Minister of War.

But no one thought that he would dare to speak to Ji Feng like that.

Doesn’t Emperor Li want to be the emperor anymore?

Still wanting to die!

"You...you dare to speak to this old man like this?"

Ji Feng's old face flushed red, and he pointed at Lin Tian and cursed, "Stupid Lord, have you forgotten who I am?"

"Even if you control the Imperial Guards, don't forget that the Infantry Command Office is still in my hands!"

"The Infantry Commander's Office is my army for protecting the capital. When did it become yours?"

Lin Tian sneered and said in a deep voice to An Bilie below the stage.

"Bring the things here and let Master Ji take a look."

"According to the order!"

At this moment, all the ministers in the hall turned their eyes to An Bilie.

Even Ji Feng stopped talking and looked at An Bilie angrily.

They were all curious about what Emperor Li was going to take out at this moment.

After a while, An Bilie brought up a round object wrapped in cloth.

The cloth was opened and a bloody human head rolled out.

boom!

Everyone gasped as they recognized the person with the head - Ji Tian.

Ji Feng, who was full of vigor just now, suddenly felt weak and had to hold on to the chair with his hands to barely stand.

He now understood why the tyrant dared to challenge him.

Ji Tian was one of the three commanders of the Infantry Commander's Office.

To guard Shengjing, the Infantry Commander’s Office had three commanders.

The commander-in-chief was Li Shilang of the Ministry of War, the second commander was Ji Qiang, and the third commander was Ji Tian.

It is the existence of these three people, plus the Royal Guards controlled by Ji Bochang.

This allowed Ji Feng and the entire Ji family to feel fearless in Shengjing.

Now that Minister Li and Ji Tian are dead, two-thirds of the Ji family's power has been lost.

At this moment, Ji Feng no longer had the confidence to openly challenge Emperor Li.

But he suddenly realized a more important problem.

Why was the Imperial Guard controlled by An Bilie?

His son Ji Bo is probably...

So many things happened overnight, why didn't Ji Lan send someone to inform me?

And none of the eunuchs who accepted bribes reported the incident.

"You, what did you do to my son Ji Bo?"

Ji Feng glared at Lin Tian and Ji Lan and questioned them angrily.

Ji Lan saw Ji Feng's gaze.

The glimmer of hope in my heart just now disappeared.

She now understood why Emperor Li asked her to come to court today and why he assigned her those tasks.

This completely blocked her escape route.

Emperor Li, are you really still the Emperor Li that I know?

Ji Lan bit her lip lightly and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar man beside her with complicated eyes.

Lin Tian sneered, his eyes flashing coldly as he glanced at the ministers.

"I'm sure all the nobles are curious about why Ji Tian died."

After a brief pause, he changed the subject and spoke softly to Ji Lan.

"Empress, as the eldest daughter of the Ji family, some words would be more convincing if you said them! This would prevent people from accusing me of framing loyal ministers."

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he looked at Ji Feng coldly.

"I....."

Ji Lan secretly glanced at Ji Feng, who was full of anger, gritted her teeth, made up her mind and stood up.

"It's okay, I've got your back!"

Lin Tian hugged Ji Lan and said softly.

Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were frighteningly cold and full of warning.

"The Ji family, Ji Bochang, conspired with Ji Tian to seize power and the throne, and assassinated the emperor under cover of darkness. The emperor was furious last night."

"General..." Ji Lan's voice trembled. "Kill Ji Bolang on the spot, and execute the remaining rebels on the spot."

After saying the last sentence, Ji Lan's face turned pale and he lowered his head and sat on the dragon throne.

"Bullshit! Does my Ji family need to rebel?"

Ji Feng could no longer hold back his anger, and veins popped out on his forehead.

He still had a glimmer of hope just now, but now the hope is completely shattered.

"Rebellious son, you rebellious son! Who told you to say these words? I made you the queen, and you dared to betray me and the Ji family. I will kill you. And I will also kill you, the tyrant..."

"presumptuous!"

Lin Tian slammed the table and stood up, blocking Ji Lan behind him.

"Ji Lan is my queen, I canonized her. Are you planning to rebel?"

"My tyrant, I will rebel today, what can you do? Don't forget..."

"Ji Feng, you old dog. I call you father-in-law, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Lin Tian's voice was chilling and filled with murderous intent.

He wanted to kill the old man right now, but he couldn't.

Killing Ji Feng is easy, but it will force Ji Qiang into a desperate situation.

But there is also Baturin in the court. This old man controls the two provinces south of Shengjing and has been ready to make a move.

By then, when Ji Qiang joins forces with the Batu family, he will be attacked from both sides and will be in a desperate situation again.

Ji Feng wanted to say something else, but was overwhelmed by Lin Tian's momentum.

He saw that Emperor Li really dared to kill him on the spot.

Ji Feng did not expect that the political situation would change so drastically overnight, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

If they really fall out completely, even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory.

That will only allow others to take advantage of the situation.

The Ji family, which he had painstakingly built up over the years, would also completely perish.

Thinking of this, Ji Feng gradually calmed down and had to give in for the time being and think of a solution later.

"Old man, I have no way of educating my children."

Seeing this, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Considering that Ji Feng didn't know about this beforehand, I won't pursue the matter any further! However, if this happens again next time, I will kill you without mercy!"

Lin Tian looked at Ji Feng and said coldly, "Aren't you going to thank me?"

He wanted to wipe out Ji Feng's spirit bit by bit.

I killed your son and I still want you to thank me.

The corners of Ji Feng's mouth kept twitching, but he finally stood up tremblingly and turned to look at Lin Tian.

The two looked at each other.

Soon, Ji Feng was defeated.

"Thank you, my lord, for your grace."

Seeing this, Lin Tian sneered a few times.

Then he spoke to the ministers below the stage.

"Traitor or loyal? I'm sure you have already made up your minds."

His Highness was silent, still not recovering from the shock.

No one expected that the Kuilei Emperor not only killed Ji Feng's son, but also made him admit his mistake and express gratitude.

Is this still the Emperor Li we know?

Am I dreaming?

Seeing that no one spoke, Lin Tian continued to speak.

"I am also a reasonable person. I will clearly distinguish rewards and punishments. Otherwise, I will become a tyrant."

"Lin Hua, you just openly slandered the Grand Councilor. I'm going to punish you. Do you accept my punishment?"

Upon hearing this, the ministers were shocked.

Just now, Lin Hua was the one who risked his life to speak up for Emperor Li.

There is no one here more loyal than him.

Emperor Li is crazy, definitely crazy.

The ministers also made the same judgment.

"Thunder, rain, and dew are all blessings from heaven. I am willing to accept any punishment."

Lin Hua was a loyal man. Although he was unwilling, he still knelt down to accept the order.

Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction.

"Alright, I'll demote you. From today on, you'll be serving as the Minister of War. Your rank will be demoted from first to second rank, but considering your loyalty, your treatment will remain at first rank."

"Thank you...thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor." Lin Hua knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.

How can this be called a demotion? It's clearly a promotion.

Everyone then realized that they had been wrong again.

The Assistant Minister of War was under the jurisdiction of the Grand Council and held real power.

The Prince's Grand Tutor is called the Emperor's Teacher in a nice way, but a teacher in a bad way.

During the period of political turmoil, the two official positions were simply incomparable.

"Get up! The Ministry of War will be separated from the Grand Council from now on, and I will be in charge of it alone."

"Anbi Li."

"Chen is here!"

An Bilie immediately knelt down.

"You have rendered meritorious service in protecting the Emperor. I presented you with a reward yesterday, and today I will announce it in front of all the civil and military officials."

"An Bilie, Minister of the Imperial Guard, leader of the Imperial Guard."

"Thank you Lord for your grace."

"By the way, tell An Jie that he will be the second in command of the Infantry Commander's Office from now on."

"On behalf of my younger brother, I thank Your Majesty for the reward."

After finishing the arrangements, Lin Tian stretched himself. He hadn’t had a good sleep since yesterday.

After the matter was resolved, fatigue suddenly came over me.

"Retreat!"

After saying this, he walked towards the back hall, leaving the ministers looking at each other in bewilderment.

From today on, who would dare to say that Emperor Li is weak?

Such drastic measures are not something a puppet emperor can do.

Moreover, the political situation in Shengjing is likely to change.
