The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"My lords, do you think I would have laid my cards on the table if I weren't absolutely certain?"

Faced with their relentless defiance, Yue Fei merely sneered.

I still remember how terrified the emperor was, his body drenched in cold sweat, when I confronted him.

He regarded the Song Dynasty, which was in a corner of the country, as a chaotic world.

Since it is a chaotic world, then severe punishments should be used!

"Grand Commandant Yue, what exactly do you want to do?"

Some people already had a bad feeling.

In their minds, Yue Fei was a moral and principled person.

The appearance of this Grand Commandant Yue now is truly beyond everyone's expectations.

"You all know very well what I want to do."

"The Northern Expedition, to recover the Central Plains, and to restore the old capital!"

"After being brought back to life and reading through a large number of accounts of immortals, I realized something."

"Sometimes, in order to achieve certain goals, it is necessary to use any means necessary."

play hard?

These four words, spoken by Yue Fei, are truly chilling.

"My lords, do whatever you wish."

"Whether it's a collective resignation and retirement, or secretly seeking out the retired emperor to ask him to restore the throne, or deliberately creating trouble for the court, it's all acceptable."

"Bring on your tricks! I have already made a solemn pledge to His Majesty today. The Song Dynasty may be in chaos, but the goals of restoring order to the court and the Northern Expedition will certainly be achieved!"

After he finished speaking, none of the officials below dared to make any rash moves.

None of them could figure out what Yue Fei was really up to.

Logically speaking, even without deliberately causing trouble, the fact that so many of them resigned from their official posts at the same time was already a huge problem for the Song Dynasty court.

Not to mention, after resigning from their posts, they deliberately created more problems, then turned around and pinned the label of incompetence on Zhao Shen, asking Zhao Gou to ascend the throne again.

With this combination of attacks, not only Yue Fei, but even the current Emperor Zhao Shen would be powerless to retaliate.

Their biggest advantage is that the retired emperor is still alive!

If the current emperor insists on acting recklessly, they will have a way out!

But now that these words are coming from Yue Fei's mouth, they are unsure of what to do.

Should we face it head-on, or are we truly confident in resolving it?

"In that case, I hope that Grand Commandant Yue can truly make our Great Song Dynasty better. I am incompetent and will not cause trouble for Grand Commandant Yue and His Majesty."

After a brief standoff, someone finally stepped forward.

With the emergence of leaders, more and more people resigned from their official posts.

In the blink of an eye, there were very few people kneeling there.

From the faces of the remaining people, Yue Fei saw hesitation and heartache.

They were among the few officials in the imperial court who refused to compromise their integrity and engage in corrupt practices.

The reason they are here together today is because they also anticipated this situation.

Hopefully, Zhao Shen can retract his order, preventing the situation from escalating to this point.

But it seems they failed.

"My lords, since you have chosen to stay, I will assume that you do not want to resign and want to see our Great Song Dynasty become better step by step."

"Then please go back on your own and do what you need to do."

"I will put my words here today. You can all go about your business in peace. When we go to court tomorrow, the Great Song Dynasty will still be the same Great Song Dynasty."

After saying this, Yue Fei turned and entered Zhao Shen's temporary palace.

The remaining people looked at each other, and in the end could only sigh helplessly and leave.

Now they can only hope that what Yue Fei said is true and that he really has the ability to solve this problem.

otherwise……

……

"Your Majesty, we can begin to close the net."

"Although these people may not be spies of the Jin Dynasty, at least in their hearts, their own interests far outweigh the interests of the imperial court."

"People like that deserve to die!"

Yue Fei slowly analyzed the current situation.

Zhao Shen listened with a conflicted expression.

"General Yue, I understand everything you've said, but..."

"Are we really going to kill them all?"

After returning from gathering the remnants of the Huai River army, the two had a heart-to-heart talk.

On that occasion, Yue Fei demonstrated that to repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability.

Otherwise, when he and Yu Yunwen lead their armies on a joint northern expedition, no one can predict what will happen in the court.

Zhao Shen knew he was easily swayed; although he was determined to launch a northern expedition, he was easily persuaded to waver.

Solving the problems in North Korea first is indeed the best course of action.

But aren't there too many people to kill?

"Your Majesty, our Great Song Dynasty has never lacked officials, especially those in the court who are merely occupying positions without performing their duties."

“Countless scholars, lacking the connections of these people, were left with no official position even after passing the imperial examinations, and could only wait for appointment.”

"The talents of those people are beyond question; they can fill any vacancies without a problem, so killing too many people has never been an issue."

Yue Fei patiently explained.

Vacancies in official positions can be filled by candidates, with the only drawback being a slight increase in trouble.

The important thing is to prevent those officials from finding Zhao Gou.

Once Zhao Gou is persuaded to choose to restore the throne, the legitimacy of the throne will be instantly divided, and that will be the biggest problem!

Moreover, if Zhao Gou, who was traveling abroad, knew about the two's drastic actions, he would be willing to regain power without even needing much persuasion from others!

The best solution is to prevent Zhao Gou from seeing those people.

"If such a massive massacre were to occur, how would the dynasties throughout the ages view me..."

Zhao Shen looked up at the sky.

Beyond the sky.

Zhao Kuangyin smashed the head of the enemy in front of him with a single blow, and snorted coldly amidst the chaos.

"How should we view it? Of course, we should appreciate it and praise it!"

"These people are more trouble than they're worth, only caring about their own family interests while completely disregarding the interests of the imperial court."

"Don't kill them, keep them for the New Year?"

As they spoke, a number of enemy soldiers quickly surrounded them.

"Take care of your own troubles first. You don't have time to watch the show on the battlefield."

Li Er said irritably.

"But I must say, the evaluation is very fair."

“Excessive killing may indeed be criticized by historians, but as long as the achievements are great enough, future generations will naturally give a fair judgment.”

He firmly believed in this, so he never had any intention of touching historical records.

"On the contrary, not killing them is what should really be called indecisiveness!"

"Clearly, they are the biggest obstacle to implementing such a merit-based military system!"

"Only by killing those people can we start implementing the military merit system with peace of mind, and only then can we truly have a chance to revitalize the Song Dynasty."

"Don't hesitate, or you'll lose!"

Liu Bang shouted.

Different times call for different attitudes and different methods.

"Hesitation leads to defeat, so decisiveness guarantees success?"

"That depends on what you do decisively. If you do things like Zhao Shen, you should succeed, but if you make a mistake, you might lose everything..."
