The Queen Mother's move today was clearly aimed at the Regent, and they must not let the Queen Mother's conspiracy succeed.

But before they could come to their senses, they heard the young emperor on the dragon throne say: "The regent is ambitious and intends to monopolize power. Now he has even colluded with foreign nations and brought disaster to our people. He truly cannot be allowed to stay!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the old minister of rites stepped forward to stop them: "Your Majesty, this cannot be done!"

"How can we make such a hasty conviction now that the evidence is not yet conclusive?" The Minister of Rites asked earnestly.

"I also believe that this case should be handled with caution..."

Another minister came out to agree.

"this……"

Just as the young emperor was lost in thought, Empress Dowager Ye sneered, "Minister of Rites, how dare you question the emperor's decision?"

“This…this…”

The Minister of Rites' face changed and he dared not speak anymore.

If Empress Dowager Ye accused him of treason, he would be finished.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Ye snorted coldly: "Even when the late emperor passed away, Xiao Qingyun had already harbored rebellious intentions. I, considering that the young emperor had just ascended the throne and the country was unstable, needed ministers in the court, so I didn't wipe out all his followers. But Xiao Qingyun is truly restless. Over the years, he has secretly formed a clique for personal gain, attempting to oppose me and Your Majesty. I have tolerated him time and time again, but he has only continued to push his limits, colluding with those barbarians. How can Your Majesty and I tolerate him any longer?"

Glancing sideways, the ministers also had expressions of surprise and confusion in their eyes, whispering to each other and discussing the matter.

Empress Dowager Ye stopped talking and shouted loudly to the imperial guards outside the palace, "Go to the Dali Temple and convey the decree of my mother and the emperor. Xiao Qingyun has committed treason and deceit, and has deceived the emperor. His crimes are unforgivable. He shall be sentenced to death and given poisoned wine!"
