When Gu Linyuan spoke, all the officials involved in the case felt insecure.
Their nerves tightened instinctively, and they quickly put the romantic escapades between the general and the emperor to the back of their minds.
They all knelt down and begged His Majesty to be lenient in his punishment.
The love affair between the two people is ultimately none of their business.
They weren't loyal ministers who would die for their principles; when they entered the court as officials, they sought wealth, honor, and continuous promotion.
If you can't bring down Gu Linyuan, there's no need to drag yourself into it.
Looking at the kneeling crowd, Si Jin's eyes gradually became deep and dangerous.
He had been in this world for two months, and although he had resolved some troubles in the court, he was still alive.
However, the Tianqi territory was vast, and Yu Jingyuan had been preparing for a rebellion for many years. His prestige was still intact, and the military generals guarding the four directions might not necessarily submit to him as the new emperor.
Now, the people Gu Linyuan has implicated have given him the opportunity to intimidate the border region.
The young king slowly lowered his eyes, staring intently at the trembling crowd below, and suddenly burst into laughter.
The laughter was melodious and clear, and sounded soothing.
Between the collision of syllables, there is a beautiful melody.
But now, the melody plays in a deathly silence, making it all the more eerie.
"Indeed, you're taking the court's salary and profiting from the national crisis. You've really brought me honor!"
Si Jin's eyes flashed with anger. Disappointed, she raised her hand and counted the officials on the ground selling weapons:
"One, two, three, four... a total of sixteen, drag them all out and be executed by slow slicing."
After they die, their remains and waste are sent to the four guardian generals.
They are warned that anyone who dares to collude with the enemy or betray the country will suffer the same fate as these people!
General Gu Linyuan, the Protector of the Nation, will oversee the execution and promote new military officers to replace these scoundrels. This is the imperial decree!
Si Jin finished speaking in one breath, then slowly rose from the dragon throne, placing his hands on the dragon table in front of him, and coldly scrutinized the officials below:
"Gentlemen, if you have something to say, please speak; otherwise, the court is adjourned."
The officials, each with their own ulterior motives, were frightened.
They dared not act rashly and all bowed their heads in respect.
"We are unharmed."
Just kidding. The young emperor is furious. Now is a matter of life and death. Even if something is wrong, you have to say nothing is wrong.
What could be more important than saving your life?
In order to protect General Gu, His Majesty exposed the crimes of so many officials in the court. How could they dare to oppose him?
Moreover, in terms of ability, among military generals, none can rival Gu Linyuan.
"Alright." Si Jin said, "Since there's nothing else, then everyone may leave. I'm leaving."
Yun Munian never expected things to develop this way.
Gu Linyuan did not fall from power, but he was also unable to send his sister into the palace.
He looked up unwillingly, wanting to stop Si Jin:
"Your Majesty, this sinful subject... um..."
His mouth was gagged by a military officer, so he couldn't make a sound.
Si Jin stopped in her tracks, turned around, and saw this scene, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.
Her thin lips curved slightly, exuding a captivating and alluring charm.
It seems to be praising the military officer for doing a good job.
The officials were terrified.
Fortunately, the Imperial Advisor wasn't allowed to continue his erratic behavior, otherwise, more than just a few people would have died at this grand court assembly.
Gu Linyuan was delighted by the sight:
Jinjin is a natural beauty; she is perfect and flawless from any angle.
Only after Si Jin left did the military officer release Yun Mu Nian.
As she left, she kicked him hard, as if to say, "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you."
The grand court assembly quickly came to an end.
As they left the palace gates, the officials were all somewhat dazed.
With His Majesty and General Gu joining forces, the civil and military officials no longer had any chance of controlling the young emperor.
Yu Sijin has now completely secured his position in this empire.
