"I'm a humble woman, and I hold grudges!" Chu Wanyu picked up a piece of pastry beside her and put it to her mouth. "Why did their attitude change so drastically?"

Thinking of those few words, her face stiffened slightly.

Xiao Lijing said quietly, "I have already found some evidence. The defeat that year was caused by that person."

That one!

Chu Wanyu curled her lips, "Then what is your plan, Your Majesty?"

If someone wants to rebel, she will not accompany him and will just slip away without any hesitation.

The expression on that delicate face was unpredictable.

The haze in Xiao Lijing's heart dissipated a lot, "Of course blood debt must be repaid with blood!"

A few words were squeezed out from between teeth.

Chu Wanyu nodded, "Sometimes there's no need to hold back! When the time comes, strike!"

In Prince Zhan's mansion, every move is under the surveillance of everyone.

Generals of the Black Armor Army frequently entered and exited the palace.

The emperor, upon hearing the news, was furious and smashed the inkstone in his hand, "Why don't you just die quietly!"

The vibration sound resounded throughout the imperial study.

He gasped for breath, and after a long moment, he laughed strangely, "Haha, if you don't die, I'll make you infamous, like a rat crossing the street! Someone, call the Imperial Censor here."

……

The sky was pale as fish, and everyone was standing in the court.

The emperor's majestic eyes swept across the crowd sharply. Everyone in the court was walking on thin ice. When his gaze finally fell on the imperial censor, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have a report to make! I am reporting that the King of War embezzled food and fodder and withheld military funds during his campaigns on the frontier..."

hiss!

The Imperial Censor's voice was sonorous, powerful, and passionate, striking directly at everyone's heart.

All the civil and military officials cast their hidden gazes on Xiao Lijing at the same time.

He seemed calm and relaxed, with no trace of panic on his dignified face.

After a while, the censor's voice stopped, and the hall was silent and the air was cold.

clap clap clap!

Xiao Lijing stretched out his slender hands and clapped twice.

Those empty eyes were calm, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it inexplicably made people feel cold.

After clapping twice, he stopped and said in an unquestionable voice, "Where's the evidence?"

According to the Imperial Censor, Xiao Lijing's crimes were too numerous to list.

However, evidence was mentioned.

The officials in the court, who were sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Xiao Lijing was neither arrogant nor impatient, and clapped his hands again.

Afterwards, Jingzhe came in with his guards carrying two large boxes.

"Your Majesty, the account book has been delivered!"

"Go back!"

Xiao Lijing spoke calmly, then presented the memorial in his arms with both hands and said calmly: "I can't see with my eyes, these are written by the clerk, please understand, Your Majesty!"

The chief eunuch stood there in a daze, and then at the emperor's signal, he took the memorial.

At a glance, the emperor's eyes were wide open and his chest was breathing heavily.

Just when he wanted to suppress the matter, Xiao Lijing spoke again and recited the contents of the memorial word for word.

hiss!

All the officials took a deep breath, this was the real trump card.

Xiao Lijing actually dared to report the emperor's trusted general and produced solid evidence.

For a general, embezzling food and fodder is a big taboo.

The emperor's trusted general actually dared to collude with officials and bandits to cooperate with mountain bandits to rob food and supplies. He should be put to death.

"Your Majesty, this man has wicked ambitions. I beg Your Majesty to punish him as a warning to others!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

All the civil and military officials knelt on the ground in an instant.

The emperor, high above, looked angrily at the person in front of him.

He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, and angrily said, "Good, good, the War King is indeed a young talent. He can stabilize the country with his literary talent and rule the country with his military talent. It is a blessing for me and the people!" Then he looked at the people in the hall and said, "Come here, drag this bastard away and draw him into pieces!"

"Wait! Your Majesty, to serve as a warning, please ask all officials to go to the execution ground and watch!"

Xiao Lijing's words made everyone tremble.

Is this the devil?

Most of the court officials were weak scholars, and they would probably have nightmares if they saw the bloody scenes.

I thought the emperor would refuse, but unexpectedly he just waved his hand and agreed.

So...

When entering the palace, everyone was in high spirits and in high spirits.

When he left the palace, he covered his chest with his hands, his face was pale, and he kept retching.

The court is full of unpredictable circumstances and changes rapidly.

After a court meeting, the situation changed subtly.

The illusion of peace was broken, and everyone knew the truth. Xiao Lijing began to fight back.

In the next few days, the emperor continued to suppress Xiao Lijing's subordinates in the court.

Xiao Lijing handled the situation with ease and took the opportunity to eliminate many corrupt officials in the court and the emperor's confidants, and place his own people in place.

The atmosphere in the palace is depressing.

The emperor had a gloomy face every day, and the people serving him were terrified as if they were walking on thin ice.

Cining Palace.

Hey!

The Queen Mother played with the Buddhist beads in her hand and sighed.

That majestic face seemed to be covered with sorrow, with clouds of worry between his brows and eyes.

"We are of the same root, why are we so eager to harm each other?" the Queen Mother murmured in a low voice.
