All the officials were terrified, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, you can't do this!"
"Zhang Yuanlu."
"Here!" Zhang Yuanlu brought the things over.
Yan Tinglan picked up the things on the tray, threw it at the feet of the courtiers, and slashed Li Tengyu's neck with a sword.
The smell of blood spread, Li Tengyu widened his eyes, covered his neck and twitched on the ground.
The officials picked up the papers on the ground in horror and found that they were all evidence of Li Teng's selling of official positions, failure to perform his duties, accepting bribes, and forming cliques for personal gain.
Yan Tinglan returned to the dragon throne holding the sword and sat down. The blood-dripping long sword was inserted beside him. "Since you refute my words, and since my words don't work, then the sword should work."
Yan Tingyu was terrified when he saw that his once cowardly brother suddenly became violent at the first morning court session after recovering from a serious injury.
"I am not killing without a warrant."
"Do you like to place spies in my harem?" Yan Tinglan curled the corners of his lips coldly and raised his hand.
The imperial guards at the rear of the palace brought out the palace maids and eunuchs in disheveled shapes, and forced them to kneel in front of the officials who had sent them out.
"Do you know him?"
"No, I don't know him." The officials shook their heads in fear.
"Don't know him?" Yan Tinglan sneered, "Bring up the confession."
The imperial guards pushed confessions in front of them one by one, and they were speechless.
"Spying on my harem is an attempt to subvert the imperial power and will be thrown into prison."
A bunch of officials who had great power in the court were dragged away.
Yan Tinglan glanced at the remaining people, causing them to tense up and almost tremble, fearing that they would be the next person to be taken away.
The emperor came today well prepared. Maybe the coma of the previous seven days was just a decoy. In fact, he was secretly collecting evidence against them and catching them all in one fell swoop.
Finally, the man sitting on the dragon chair paused and said, "Imprison Yan Tingyu and send him to the frontier."
"Brother Emperor! What mistake have I made?" Yan Tingyu struggled.
"Wei Anqing, let him die knowingly."
"Yes!" The commander of the imperial guards, Wei Anqing, walked up to him with evidence, "Prince Yu listened to Yu's words and bribed a killer to assassinate the emperor. The emperor exiled him out of consideration for the brotherhood."
The evidence was thrown at his feet.
As for the brotherhood? How could he survive the exile?
Yan Tingyu's pupils contracted. How did he find out?
"Now that all the termites have been eliminated, let's go to court." After the imperial guards had dragged away all those who should be dragged away, Yan Tinglan said.
The remaining officials looked at the pool of blood not far away and tried hard to overcome their shaking legs. Who would still be in the mood to attend court?
When did the emperor become so efficient and decisive?
"Zhang Zhiyuan."
"I'm here." Zhang Zhiyuan moved out with great effort.
"You will take over the flood in Jiangdong and handle it within half a month."
"Yes." Zhang Zhiyuan returned to the queue and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Mo Zeyu."
"I am here."
"The remaining officials will be promoted if they should be promoted, and demoted if they should be demoted, based on their abilities."
Mo Zeyu's heart skipped a beat. "Your Majesty, how should I investigate this?"
"You ask me?"
"I will definitely do it!" Mo Zeyu felt the other party's dangerous gaze and quickly agreed.
I'm going to offend people again.
"The border reported that the northern barbarians were invading Changyang Pass, and the garrison was insufficient. The Song Dynasty pacified the enemy and dispatched 150,000 troops from the eastern suburbs to support the northwestern border."
"Your Majesty, I obey your orders!"
Song Zhengping almost burst into tears. As a military general, he finally had a chance to use his talents.
Having long been trapped in party struggles and besieged in the capital, Song Zhengping looked at the banners with tears in his eyes, often worrying that his country would perish.
After dealing with other matters, Yan Tinglan withdrew from the court.
Zhang Yuanlu followed behind him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"What do you want to say?"
"Your Majesty, you have changed a lot."
