Chapter 725 - 725: Has That Prince Set Off?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Cabinet Elder Liu’s lips moved like a stiff fish as he let out one last gasp.

However, he didn’t say anything in the end.

Gu Yihan suddenly pulled out his sword.

Cabinet Elder Liu fell over.

Like a collapsed mountain.

Blood gradually spread and flowed quickly on the ground.

The surrounding officials’ noses were filled with the scent of blood and they almost felt like they were going to faint from fear.

Gu Yihan held a sword in his hand and slowly paced back and forth in front of them.

He looked like a fierce lion choosing its next prey.

Gu Yihan smiled coldly and said, “Since we’ve already said so much, why don’t I tell you guys again while there are many people today?”

“For Nuo’er’s sake, I indeed won’t kill innocent people anymore. However, this doesn’t mean that I’ve become a good-tempered person.

“If you fake an imperial edict and seal the city gate, even if you have nine lives, it won’t be enough! Moreover, not only will I kill, but I’ll also execute your entire family and 18 generations! You can try to make a mistake. Let’s see if I dare to let your entire clansmen die with you!”

After saying that, he waved his hand. “Men, drag these officials involved out and execute them at the waist. Anyone within three generations of their relatives will be executed. Execute them today and send their entire family on their way.”

“Your Majesty! No, Your Majesty! This subject won’t dare to do it again!”

There were a few consecutive wails for mercy. There were even officials kneeling and crawling to Gu Yihan’s feet.

They hugged his boots and cried, begging for his forgiveness.

Gu Yihan didn’t even look and kicked them away.

He threw the sword to the ground and instructed coldly, “Do it!” Everyone finally knew.

His Majesty was a tyrant and he had always lived up to this title.

After having the little princess, it wasn’t that he wasn’t a tyrant anymore, but that he had learned to restrain himself.

However, if anyone touched His Majesty’s bottom line…

There was only death awaiting them.

After all, passing down a fake imperial edict was equivalent to looking down on the imperial authority.

No emperor would allow his subjects to join forces to step on his head and cause trouble. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Therefore, all the officials involved died in one go!

A total of 13 people had committed the crime, and there were more than 200 related family clan members.

Gu Yihan didn’t show any mercy and sentenced them all to death.

In a day, many officials in the imperial court had their positions changed.

Gu Yihan also took the opportunity to promote many of his trusted aides.

No one dared to say anything against His Majesty’s tyranny!

They could only submit.

On that autumn day, the blood in the execution ground couldn’t be washed off for the entire day.

At this moment, a certain someone was sitting in a quiet study.

He heard the hidden guard report His Majesty’s actions.

He was slightly surprised.

Then, he pursed his lips into a cold smile.

“It seems that we miscalculated this time. The emperor is still the same emperor as before. He didn’t become a toothless lion just because the little princess was born.”

The hidden guard nodded. “Lord, should we do anything? According to what this subordinate knows, General Bai Yi didn’t go to the disaster relief. Instead,

Marquis Yongye went in his place.”

Now was a good opportunity for them to assassinate.

In a chaotic situation, it was very normal for a marquis to die.

When the man heard his words, he pondered for a moment.

A moment later, he closed the window to block the fine rain.

“There’s no need. Marquis Yongye is very skilled. If we go to assassinate him this time, not only will we lose our own people, but we’ll also easily alert the enemy.

“His Majesty is enraged. Everyone is in danger during this period of time. Let’s protect ourselves first and bide our time for a while.”

“Yes.”

“By the way, did you reply from Qing State? Has that prince set off?”

“I just received a reply a few days ago saying that he had already set off. He’ll definitely be able to reach the capital on New Year’s Eve this year.” The man smiled. “Alright, then we’ll just have to wait and see..”
