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

"What!?"

"They say that all the imperial edicts and decrees issued during this period were done by me?"

"Am I out of my mind? Or do they think the Emperor is a fool?"

"Wait, the Emperor won't believe it, will he?"

Empress Dowager Guo became anxious after learning that the blame had been shifted onto her.

Although she knew the current emperor was no fool, this matter concerned her life and fortune.

Moreover, there is another possibility involved.

If the emperor is unwilling to offend the many noble families and is willing to compromise with them, then she and the entire Guo family will become stepping stones for everyone!

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager. His Majesty still remembers the help you gave him back then. Without your many protections and the territory you vacated, it wouldn't have been so easy for His Majesty to turn the tables on the traitorous Sima family."

"His Majesty is not the kind of person who would abandon his benefactor after using someone else's help. He ordered me to invite the Empress Dowager to the court assembly simply to settle scores with certain people in a legitimate way."

"Of course, it's also to invite the Empress Dowager to witness some things."

"From this day forward, the Great Wei of the past will cease to exist."

Although Jiao Bo didn't quite understand what Liu Bang had unintentionally said before, he could still repeat it without any problem.

For a moment, even Empress Dowager Guo was completely bewildered.

Will the once mighty Wei Dynasty cease to exist?

What does this mean?

"Perhaps His Majesty really intends to target those members of the royal family and nobility."

"He probably meant that from now on, the days when the aristocratic class held sway will no longer exist!"

Guo Gonggong was the first to react.

During the time Liu Bang was in the palace, Jiao Bo was training assassins, and it was actually Jiao Bo who encountered Liu Bang more often.

In comparison, as a witness who saw Liu Bang overthrow the Sima family step by step, he was better able to know his abilities than others.

Naturally, it's easier to guess that an emperor with such abilities would never be willing to be suppressed by the aristocratic clans again.

"Does the emperor really intend to purge all the aristocratic families?"

"impossible?"

Empress Dowager Guo was startled and stood up.

But after thinking about it, I can understand it.

This rebellion in the capital was instigated by a consortium of powerful clans.

Once the purge begins, it will surely make everyone feel insecure.

Either don't take action, or if you do, you have to nip it in the bud!

But that would cause a huge commotion!

"Is the emperor truly not afraid that the lack of support will ultimately lead to chaos in the world?"

"Moreover, the gentry are not limited to the one in the capital. If we allow their other branches to rebel in various states, apart from the one in the capital, wouldn't that be like cutting off our own arms?"

Within a short time, Empress Dowager Guo understood many things.

Including the serious consequences of doing so!

On a smaller scale, even if the emperor could quickly lead troops to suppress the various factions, it would still result in heavy losses for the Great Wei.

On a larger scale, if the response is not timely, the entire Great Wei will be engulfed in war!

The phrase "excluding the aristocratic families" sounds simple, but putting it into practice will cause far more trouble than causing a major disaster!

"What His Majesty is thinking is not something a servant like me should worry about. He has been able to turn the situation around to this point, and I believe that no matter what decision he makes, he is confident enough to handle the subsequent affairs."

"A servant like me only needs to faithfully carry out His Majesty's every decree, and that's enough."

Jiao Bo, however, was too lazy to think about it that much.

All he knew was that everything His Majesty had done since ascending the throne had been right and successful.

In this situation, anyone who questions His Majesty is out of their mind!

"Indeed, the Emperor has been incredibly shrewd throughout this journey. He must have made preparations for any unforeseen circumstances."

"Since that's the case, I certainly can't back down."

"Eunuch Guo, Eunuch Jiao, let's go, let's accompany the Emperor in a grand performance!"

……

"What exactly does this young emperor mean?"

"Are we really going to confront the Empress Dowager?"

"He probably wants to use the Empress Dowager and the Guo family as a way out. He can't afford to offend us, but it would be easy for him to target the Guo family."

"Hehe, looking at it this way, this little emperor is really clever enough to know how to save face."

"It's just a bit of cleverness. If he really had great talent, why would he have secretly run away from the palace in the first place?"

"Exactly, how is the current situation any different from when he stayed behind?"

"All you can do is give us a scolding. Heh, you get all excited with your words, but in the end you only cause the Great Wei to suffer losses. You're nothing but a coward."

"Won't we still have to govern this world in the future? What's the point of this whole charade?"

During the period of waiting for Empress Dowager Guo's arrival, there was much discussion in the court.

Many of them didn't even bother to lower their voices.

From initial fear to now having no sense of awe whatsoever.

Perhaps from the moment Liu Bang entered the city but did not easily kill anyone to vent his anger, they were certain that they would not be in any danger.

Zheng Chong showed no fear on his face, but rather a confident disdain.

He used to bow to the Sima family because Sima Shi was capable and ambitious.

And what does this young emperor have?

Clever trick!

That's right, it's just cleverness.

No iron fist!

In his view, if Sima Shi were sitting on the throne of the young emperor, he would probably have targeted him the moment he entered the city to intimidate the other powerful clans.

If they don't even dare to make an example of someone, it's ultimately a sign of incompetence!

Thinking of this, he looked up and spoke again.

"Your Majesty, if the Empress Dowager refuses to admit anything during the confrontation, I humbly request that Your Majesty issue an edict to imprison her in Yongning Palace, forbidding her from ever stepping out again, and at the same time, to exterminate the entire Guo family as a warning to others!"

"Oh?"

Liu Bang still looked at him with a slight smile.

"Wasn't it supposed to be a standoff? If it is a standoff, then the truth should be found out. Why does Lord Zheng insist that it was the Empress Dowager who refused to admit it to the death?"

"Or does Lord Zheng think that I should believe your side of the story?"

"That is my mother. If you each have your own version of events, why should I believe you?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Chong still maintained his arrogant demeanor.

"Your Majesty, although the Empress Dowager is the mother of the nation, her knowledge may not be very broad, and she can easily be deceived by those petty people in the Guo family."

"I have devoted myself to the Great Wei for so many years and put in a lot of effort, which I believe all of you gentlemen have seen."

"How could I possibly harm Your Majesty or the Great Wei?"

To devote oneself wholeheartedly to the cause?

Upon hearing this word, Liu Bang almost couldn't resist hitting him with a shoehorn.

Only Zhuge Liang truly devoted himself to the cause; you think you can even call yourself a con artist?

"Since Lord Zheng has said so, I believe that all the gentlemen present are willing to testify on his behalf?"

He forced himself not to look at Zheng Chong again, and instead looked at the other officials who were whispering among themselves.

"Of course I'm willing! Lord Zheng is a pillar of our Great Wei, Your Majesty must not wrong him!"

"Yes, Lord Zheng, hehe, he... he is a loyal minister and general of the Great Wei!"

"Indeed, that is indeed the case!"
