How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

Jin Shuai stood up and slowly walked to Han Qi. His eyes were piercing, and his voice was deep and powerful as he said, "Arrogance and pride will surely lead to defeat! Ren Fu was reckless and died on the battlefield. You should have retreated and held your ground, but instead you chose to use infantry and guerrilla cavalry. Do you think the soldiers of the Song Dynasty can outrun four people on two legs?" His words were full of sarcasm and ridicule, which made people feel a chill.

Han Qi's face grew even uglier. He gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger and humiliation, and lowered his head without responding. However, Commander Jin did not stop there, continuing, "In that case, Han Qi is not surprising at all. You are indeed the one who suffered the consequences. You were also the fuse that ignited this entire defeat, causing the Song Dynasty to pay protection money every year. Why should the common people bear the burden of your mistakes? Isn't Lord Han a traitor?" His words pierced Han Qi's heart like sharp swords, leaving him speechless.

At this moment, the court was completely silent; no one dared to make a sound, for fear of angering the emperor. However, Han Qi suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a resolute light, and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. What General Jin said is reasonable and well-founded. I bear an unshirkable responsibility for the Battle of Haoshuichuan. I beg Your Majesty to grant me death to comfort the spirits of the heroic soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty." His voice was filled with self-reproach and regret, as if he were already prepared to accept punishment.

Many civil officials in the hall began to speak up for Han Qi, saying, "Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

"Xi-ge'er, what do you think should be done with Lord Han?" Zhao Zhen asked softly, a sly glint in his eyes as he smiled slightly.

Jin Shuai cursed the two men inwardly as old foxes, but put on an innocent expression and said naively, "Your Majesty, since Lord Han has admitted his mistake, how to punish him should be decided by you and the court's laws. After all, those who have merit should be rewarded, and those who have committed wrongdoings should be punished. As for the specific legal judgment, I am still young and do not understand it."

Zhao Zhen nodded in satisfaction, then announced in a serious tone: "Han Qi is relieved of his post as Vice Chancellor and shall be temporarily imprisoned in Kaifeng Prefecture to await further judgment."

At this moment, Jin Shuai's sharp eyes swept over the few officials who had spoken out against him, and he threatened them without any attempt to hide it: "Do you want me to argue with you like Lord Han, or do you want to get out of the court and never be allowed to set foot there again?"

Faced with Jin Shuai's blunt questioning, one of the officials turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat. He knew he could not contend with Jin Shuai, who was favored by the emperor, so he said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I request to resign. Please grant me your permission."

The other five officials, realizing the situation was turning against them, followed suit, bowing and offering their resignations. Seeing this, Zhao Zhen frowned slightly and turned his gaze to Commander Jin, seemingly seeking his opinion. Commander Jin understood, raising an eyebrow to indicate his agreement to their resignations.

After receiving Jin Shuai's signal, Zhao Zhen slowly spoke, "My dear ministers, your departure is undoubtedly a great loss to the court. However, since you are determined to leave, I will not force you to stay."

Watching this scene, Jin Shuai muttered to himself, "What a cunning fox!" But on the surface, he remained calm, as if everything was within his expectations.

"Your Excellency, now that we have resigned from our official posts, could you please tell us where we went wrong?" The official bowed to Marshal Jin again and asked earnestly.

Jin Shuai looked at him and slowly asked, "What are the duties of you censors?"

"Your Excellency, our duty as censors is to supervise the emperor and offer him advice, criticisms, and suggestions in order to correct His Majesty's mistakes and errors," the censor replied without hesitation.

Jin Shuai nodded and continued, "So, do you think you've succeeded?"
