The young emperor changed his posture from supporting his head with one hand to sitting up slightly:
"You all want to strip General Gu of his military power? That's fine too. Anyway, I also want to take him into the harem. I understand the principle that the harem should not interfere in politics."
But if General Gu doesn't hold the tiger tally, to whom should it be given?
The Tiger Tally of the Three Armies under the Tianqi Emperor held immense military power, allowing him to mobilize the entire nation's army.
The minister who holds the tiger tally must be eternally loyal to the emperor.
The boy's gaze slowly fell on the general behind Gu Linyuan, the one who had shouted the loudest, and he chuckled:
"General Yuan, shall I give it to you?"
General Yuan was taken aback, but after realizing what was happening, he was overjoyed, like a sudden storm.
He hurriedly walked to the center of the hall and bowed, but before he could utter "Thank you for your great favor," the emperor said unhurriedly:
"But last year when you were guarding the southern border camp, the small countries of Southeast Asia joined forces to invade."
I've heard that you're the fastest runner.
In the end, it was General Gu who traveled for five days and five nights to reach the southern border from the capital and take charge of the overall situation.
In Tianqi, deserters were to be executed by being torn apart by chariots.
On the dragon throne, Si Jin waved his hand lazily, his tone extremely casual:
"Imperial Guards, take him away and execute him."
General Yuan froze, stunned for a moment.
Only when the Imperial Guards dragged him to the door did he belatedly realize what was happening and beg for mercy.
However, it was too late.
All that was left for the court officials was heart-wrenching cries.
The repeated cries of "Your Majesty, spare my life!" sent shivers down the spines of those who heard them.
Soon, the noisy court quieted down.
However, the young emperor had no intention of letting the matter rest.
He then fixed his gaze on one of the generals beside Gu Linyuan.
This is the person who just suggested that Gu Linyuan become a male concubine.
Si Jin spoke again:
"General Shu, shall I give it to you?"
But I remember that a month ago, the Yellow River breached its banks, and the court allocated over 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, of which you embezzled more than half.
You tell your subordinates that the imperial court has no money, and tell your superiors that there isn't enough money for disaster relief.
Deceiving superiors and subordinates, abusing your power for personal gain—you have quite the appetite!
General Shu was startled and quickly rushed to the steps to explain:
"Your Majesty! I was dragged into this mess! I beg Your Majesty to investigate! I beg Your Majesty to investigate!"
"Oh?" Si Jin found it amusing, her beautiful peach blossom eyes flashing:
"Bite out your accomplices, and I'll let you die a quick death."
As a result, General Shu uncovered four high-ranking officials in succession who had been involved in embezzling disaster relief funds.
Seeing this, Gu Linyuan loosened his grip on the sword hilt slightly.
He couldn't help but look up at the monarch who was at odds with the entire court for his sake.
All the sharpness in his eyes was instantly concealed by gentleness.
With the successive loss of two key generals, countless complex relationships were uprooted.
The officials in the court were frightened and lowered their heads, not daring to say another word.
Judging from this situation, His Majesty is determined to protect General Gu.
Anyone who dares to oppose him at this time will be incurring his wrath, and will either die or be injured.
This official robe is something they earned through a lifetime of hard work and struggle in their official careers.
Never take unnecessary risks.
Upon seeing this, Gu Linyuan finally stood before the palace, bowed to his king, and recounted the case of several officials who had been secretly colluding with the Northern Barbarians in the northern frontier to buy and sell military equipment.
None of the officials in the court have clean hands.
As long as it's not excessive, even emperors will turn a blind eye.
Gu Linyuan originally didn't want to cause trouble for his wife, and he also intended to protect them.
But since these people are so ungrateful, he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.
The person who opposes his little emperor.
He won't let any of them go.
