What have the two Prime Ministers, who hold such high positions, done for the people over the years? What achievements have you made?

Yes! For example, the patron tax...

But it is insignificant!

Therefore, few people remember what they did!

On the contrary, the emperor, who was considered a tyrant by the people of the world, invented the threshing machine, the Royal Building No. 2 that could accommodate hundreds of people, wiped out the bandits on Wuya Peak, and even carried out tax reforms...

Which one of them cannot be recorded in history?

If the people do not support such an emperor, who will they support?

To support those selfish old men who earn two or three hundred thousand taels of silver a year but choose to resign from office when the country is in crisis?

Then they must be crazy!

On the street, the people were already discussing things spontaneously, and this time, no one needed to guide them. "If I were Your Majesty, don't misunderstand me, I'm just using an analogy. I would definitely confiscate their homes first, and then banish them to the northwest frontier to starve!"

"The Ye family is the same! Last time, Ye Hongxue did something so outrageous to His Majesty, yet His Majesty forgave them. Yet, Ye Chao chose this very moment to hand over the seal of command! Is he taking this as a joke?"

"No wonder my daughter is so ignorant, it turns out it's because of being a father!"

"Shall we go and see the two Prime Ministers off? I plan to wear a piece of yellow linen!"

"Do you have a grudge against the Prime Minister?"

"Humph, their servants used to rely on their superiors..."

The next scene is - many people spontaneously "see off" the two prime ministers - in advance, they wear mourning clothes for them!

Sima Chuchu happened to be among the crowd, and she wondered if this was also the method of a tyrant emperor? It was really speechless!

"Chu Chu? Are you Chu Chu?"

Sima Chuchu was approached by a scholar-looking man, and she immediately recognized him—Liu Zhongqing! An idiot who'd become stupid from studying too much! She had never taken such a man seriously before, and certainly not in the future!

"You got the wrong person!"

"No, you are Chuchu..." The one who answered him was Sima Chuchu's back. Liu Zhongqing did not give up. He still couldn't believe why Chuchu, such a kind woman, would lie to him?

No, Chuchu must have some difficulties!

So Liu Zhongqing followed!

As a result, he saw something he shouldn't have seen!

Ye family.

From yesterday till now, Ye Chao had only drunk two cups of tea and a piece of pastry. He really couldn't eat anything. He was in a terrible mood.

At this moment, his daughter Ye Hongxue, his military advisors, generals, staff and others were all trying to find a way to save the situation.

"Marshal, please stop walking around. It's come to this point, there's no point in being anxious. His Majesty will either give the seal of command to Hongxue or to Mengfang."

Ye Hongxue shook her head. She thought of a madman: "No, Meng Fang is now leading the Royal Legion. The Royal Legion now has 70,000 people! His Majesty will never allow the Ye Family Army and the Royal Legion to merge! There is a man, Zhang Xiaofeng. This man is both wise and brave, but he is a madman. However, His Majesty admires him very much! I'm afraid..." It would be terrible if the tyrant gave the seal of command of the Ye Family Army to this man.

"I've heard of this man, too. He's nothing to be feared. Even if he took command, I'm afraid no one would obey his orders," the military advisor said. "The only thing to worry about is, Your Majesty, what if... Marshal, why were you so impulsive back then? Hongxue hasn't been convicted yet. You can't just let Lin say whatever he wants."

This matter is so serious that I can neither cry nor laugh.

Two words: Depressed!!

Ye Chao sighed heavily: "I will go and apologize for my crime!!"

Because of you, Ye Chao, two prime ministers resigned, and the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Punishment... were also implicated.

If you don't do something to give Baili Tang a way out, maybe Baili Tang will return the seal to you.

After leaving court, what does Baili Tang do?

He took all the civil and military officials who had not resigned, as well as the former commander of the imperial guards, to see the imperial guards.

I counted on my fingers and found that the tyrant emperor was going to cause trouble again!

The Royal Legion already had 70,000 men, and would soon have 100,000. Adding the 200,000 Imperial Guards, he would have 300,000 men.

But are all the imperial guards now willing to fight for him?

Impossible!

Two hundred thousand Imperial Guards, divided into several factions! This was a major factor contributing to the Imperial Guards' weak combat effectiveness, but there was another fundamental reason—nearly one-third of the Imperial Guards were either the children of officials or wealthy merchants. Even if they weren't, some distant relative had to be involved. These people were mostly just filler, lacking combat effectiveness and insubordinate.

There were probably 50,000 of them. These 50,000 were the direct descendants of the former commander of the Imperial Guards, and their fighting capacity was very good. It was these 50,000 men who were feared. They were also incredibly loyal to this old man.

Now, Baili Tang’s goal is to destroy their loyalty - to destroy their original worldview.

Baili Tang stood on the city wall, and two hundred thousand imperial guards, a black mass, stood below.

"Bring all the people here!"

After the court session, Baili Tang sent people to handle the matter, and found a total of nine "wounded people".

How did these people get injured?

Just because someone glanced at you a few more times in the crowd - for example, one of the soldiers from a poor family really looked at the son of a big shot a few more times - why are you glaring at me? If you glare at me again, I'll pop out your eyes... As a result, he kept getting in trouble and later one of his eyes was blinded.

And because of this weird reason, they offended people and lost their limbs...

What's even worse is that someone secretly sent someone to set fire to the whole family!

This is the lawless Imperial Guard... When he was in Xiyun County, Baili Tang heard Meng Fang talk about the Imperial Guard. After returning, he found that the problem was far more serious than Meng Fang said.

Baili Tang asked the former commander of the Imperial Guards, "Do you know these people?"

"I know...I know." He was still kneeling.

Baili Tang saw that he was already old: "Stand up and talk. Anyway, you are no longer their leader."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Baili Tang: "Then why don't you handle it impartially for them? Is it because you can't handle it? Or are you afraid to do it?"

He didn't know how to answer! Anyone who could get to this position was not a fool!

But he didn't expect that he would fall so quickly!

Baili Tang said loudly, "I think it's absolutely impossible that you don't dare to intervene. You even dare to play with me like a monkey. Is there anything in this world that you, Du Wei, dare not do?"

The commander of the Imperial Guards, Du Wei! A man of both military and literary skill, he was indeed a man of great talent! But his eyes were bloodshot, not from staying up late, nor from overwork. It was natural.

This kind of person is particularly calculating!

Dewey knew that the more he talked, the more mistakes he would make.

He, like those two old foxes, was simply trying to protect himself in such a court. There were some things he wouldn't bother with, no matter how unfair they were. Because the relationships involved were so complicated!

If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces!

But you received a salary from the court!!

"I, Dewey, am sorry to everyone!" Dewey knelt down in front of everyone and the two hundred thousand imperial guards!
