With an army of 500,000 approaching and the emperor in dire need of men, they threatened to dismiss their officials. If the country were to perish, they would be the greatest sinners of this country!

This incident wasn't caused by Ye Hongxue, nor by Chao Man'er, but by Wanyan Agu. More precisely, it was caused by the forces behind Wanyan Agu. They were the ones who wanted to stir up trouble.

Baili Tang naturally didn't really want to punish Chao Man'er and Ye Hongxue, otherwise he would be slapping himself in the face. It was he who ordered restaurants and other business places to raise prices.

Wanyan Agu refused to pay and smashed the shop on the grounds that it was a black shop. Chao Man'er and Song Chi were so disgusted that they took action.

General Lin wanted to punish Ye Hongxue, but Ye Chao was unhappy and resigned from his post. In order to support Ye Chao, the two old prime ministers also resigned from their posts.

Some people were overjoyed by such a result; some didn't care; some felt regretful and even cursed.

Baili Tang was also ruthless. He immediately sent people to take down the Marshal's plaque of the Ye family and take back his seal of command. He also went to the Prime Minister's Mansion of the two Prime Ministers and removed the plaques.

Since the "labor relationship" has been terminated, what's wrong with him taking back the "work badge, work clothes..."?

Ye Chao, who had left the imperial study and returned to the Ye family, had not yet recovered from his shock.

"Dad, are you crazy? That man wouldn't do anything to my daughter! How could you do such a foolish thing?" Ye Hongxue said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry after learning what had just happened. "Now what are we going to do with the hundreds of thousands of Ye Family Army soldiers?"

"Your Majesty will probably hand it over to Meng Fang, right? Don't you still have it?"

"Me? That person won't use me!"

To put it in modern terms: Ye Chao played a good hand of cards so badly that he ruined it! In a moment of impulse, he became a spectator!

"Do you know Liang Erhu?" Ye Chao was worried now...

"How many times have you seen him? What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Never mind, whether that boy would be castrated by His Majesty or not. He was already regretting it to death!

There were people who regretted more than him - the two prime ministers. They watched the plaque being removed and felt that everything happening before their eyes was so unreal.

Their good friend, the commander of the imperial guards, has arrived.

The commander arrived and said, "I will also resign from my position at tomorrow's morning court. I wonder who I'll end up acting with."

The situation in the court is turbulent, and the envoys are naturally delighted! We just need to quietly watch your jokes!

Stupid ruler, don't be impulsive!

Did Baili Tang act impulsively?

Maybe!

After what they've done, it's time for reform!
