Wei Maozhen indeed thought so.
They lured Lin Mo to the capital, and then, under the pretext of bestowing a marriage, summoned all the officials to a banquet.
Later, at the banquet, all the disobedient ministers were arrested.
They can then simply claim that Lin Mo plotted a rebellion and attempted to assassinate the emperor, and that all these ministers were killed by Lin Mo.
Not only can it put Lin Mo to death, but it can also eliminate dissidents, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
At this moment, she looked at Lin Mo with great interest, "The common people will not believe what you say. In their eyes, you are a ruthless butcher."
"Your Majesty, I beg you, please stop killing people, please don't kill him," Sun Mian pleaded. "Please, let them leave."
"Lord Sun, don't beg her!" Lin Mo said, "This woman has gone mad!"
At that moment, Sun Ruoxi's voice came, "No," her voice was muffled and faint, "Father, no..."
“Go, Ruoxi, stand up, go quickly, please, please, save yourself…” Sun Mian shouted, “Your Highness, I know you are capable, please take Ruoxi away quickly.”
"Ruoxi?" Lin Mo smiled. "Don't worry, my future father-in-law, I will not let her suffer any harm."
"Him?" Ling Tiande snorted. "What are you all standing there for? Kill him!"
Wei Maozhen's lack of response implied her tacit approval of Ling Tiande's actions.
That was precisely her purpose: to lure Lin Mo to the capital by arranging a marriage, to kill all the former officials of the late Emperor Zhao family at the engagement banquet, and then pin the blame on Prince Lin Mo of Shu.
The killing continued.
The aloof Wei Maozhen suddenly laughed. "Lin Mo, Lin Mo," she said, "Speaking of which, I should be thanking you."
"Oh?" With Xiao protecting him, he remained completely calm. "What makes you say that?"
"If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have been able to think of a good way to get rid of these disobedient scum in one go!"
"Was this your idea, Your Majesty, or Lord Ling?"
"Does it matter who came up with this idea?" Wei Maozhen replied coldly.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, may I ask you a question? Aren't you afraid that this matter will get out?"
"Hahaha, a dead man's mouth can't speak!" Wei Maozhen laughed loudly.
Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly. "Your Majesty, in truth, I should thank you!" he said. "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been able to find a good way to reverse public opinion."
As you know, I really dislike playing these political games.
"Oh?" Wei Maozhen looked at Lin Mo with great interest. "Minister Lin, I am very much looking forward to seeing how you will escape this situation tonight?"
"Escape?" Lin Mo scoffed. "Your Majesty, when did I ever tell you that I wanted to escape?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Maozhen became interested. "What, can you conjure soldiers from beans?"
"Oh, Your Majesty, how did you know?" Lin Mo laughed. "You guessed right, this humble subject really can conjure soldiers from beans!"
As he spoke, he opened the system and entered the Tyrant Mode exclusive panel. "Your Majesty, watch closely! The strongest immortal technique: 'Nightmare Cavalry' Grand Summoning Spell, activate!"
As he spoke, Lin Mo maximized the exchange limit for Nightmare Cavalry.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host, the exchange was successful.]
[Please note that your corruption level has increased again.]
"Corruption value... damn it!"
Now is not the time for sentimentality; Lin Mo has no time to dwell on this.
The next second.
But then a buzzing sound rang out.
Suddenly, shadowy figures appeared in the hall and stood in front of Lin Mo.
They were extremely tall, gaunt and resolute, resembling skeletons, their entire bodies covered in jet-black armor. And their armor seemed to emit a dazzling light as they moved.
These rays of light were sometimes as white as fresh snow, sometimes as black as shadows, adorning the deep gray-green of the forest.
When these soldiers appear, the overwhelming aura of death will send chills down everyone's spine.
Sun Mian saw Ling Tiande gasp, "What is this?"
"Heavenly soldiers and generals!" Lin Mo replied, "Oh no, you say I am a demon, then these are the demon generals of the underworld!"
"What? A demon general from the underworld?" Zheng Changqing trembled as he warned the nightmare cavalrymen in front of him, his voice as soft as a child's.
He flipped the long coat over his back to make room to move, and held the sword in both hands.
at this time.
The rain has stopped, but the cold is bone-chilling.
Lin Mo revealed a wicked smile, then waved his right hand and said, "Kill!"
As soon as the order was given, the Nightmare Cavalryman glided forward silently, longswords in hand.
That was a weapon that Zheng Changqing had never seen before, or rather, none of the Imperial Guards present had ever seen before.
It was a semi-transparent black sword, made of a material that was not made of metal used by humans at all. It was more like a very thin fragment of demonic rock from the underworld. If the blade was laid flat, it would be almost impossible to detect.
It reflected the firelight in the hall, and there was a faint, eerie orange-red hue around the blade.
For some reason, Zheng Changqing realized that this sword was sharper than any divine weapon.
"Kill them! Kill them all!" he shouted. "They only have thirteen men, but we have eight hundred Imperial Guards. Don't be afraid of them!"
As he spoke, Zheng Changqing, true to his soldierly nature, bravely stepped forward.
"Go to hell! Go to hell!"
He raised his sword overhead, his tone defiant. Though his hands trembled, whether from the weight or fear.
At this moment, the Nightmare Cavalryman stood still, sword in one hand, waiting for his opponent to come forward.
Zheng Changqing saw it; he... had no eyes.
