Within the Imperial Capital Fenghua Palace, Yin Yu was expressionless as he looked at the few memorials in front of him.
The ministers were all holding their breaths as they stood in the corridor.
The storm before this started from the top to the bottom. It caused numerous people to lose their positions and there were even seven aristocratic families that were on the verge of being wiped out.
It caused their masters to tremble in fear.
There were even some old ministers whose eyes were filled with joy. At this moment, Yin Yu made them feel like they were looking at Emperor Yuanchen when he was young. He was swift and decisive, showing off his ability …
In just a short three days, he swept away the evil aura in the Imperial Court. It caused the aristocratic families who were getting more and more arrogant to lose their arrogance. They didn't even dare to make a sound.
After waiting for a short while, Yin Yu finally placed down the memorials in his hands.
"It is my South Protecting General, Governor of Gannan, Gannxi, and the other seven states. Shi Qianli wrote that he is old and weak and doesn't have enough energy. He wants to resign from his position as Governor of the seven provinces! "
The ministers below were all stunned. They looked at each other and were speechless. The Shi Family rose up during this half a year and had the aura of the Southwest King.
To resign now, was he prepared to admit defeat to the Emperor and show weakness? Or was he planning something else?
At the side of the carriage, Shiyue stood solemnly. His face was as calm as stone, without any fluctuations at all.
"Your Majesty! Shi Qianli is at the prime of his life, what old and weak body is he talking about? He is just probing the Imperial Court. This person has evil intentions. During the Jiangnan battle, he even tried to move troops to threaten the Imperial Court. Your Majesty, please send an edict to scold him and punish him! "
A person walked out from the ministers. He seemed to have understood what Yin Yu was thinking. His words were firm and filled with righteousness.
"Moreover, this South Protecting General is in charge of the seven provinces. It does have too much power, pretty much ruling an area. In my opinion, it is best to give it up. "
Shiyue raised his eyelids and looked at this person. Looking at his robe, he should be a Secondary Grade Seven Imperial Censor. He didn't remember his name, but his surname was Feng.
At this moment, his aura seemed majestic. However, he looked towards the person beside him.
Was he a pawn that crossed the river?
The bright glow in Shiyue's eyes retracted. He also wanted to know what Yin Yu's attitude towards the Shi family was.
With the 12 Copper Men, he could suppress End Realm Saint Venerables. However, before Yin Yu had enough Saint-level cultivators, he was far from invincible.
At least at this moment, although the Shi Family didn't have the ability to fight back, they had the ability to escape from the Cloud World.
Yin Yu, on the other hand, laughed with a joy that was hard for others to detect.
At this moment, he was in high spirits. Even the five great clans could only bow their heads in front of him, as if they were lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
But who could have known his predicament a few months ago?
He was forced to give up his power, giving seven provinces to the Shi Family. However, in the imperial court, the powerful officials and aristocratic families had joined hands and were practically a mere figurehead.
Only now, when he saw Shi Qianli's resignation memorial, did he feel the anger in his chest dissipate.
"General Zhennan moving the army to take control of the Hundred Victory Pass is my insistence. There was nothing wrong with leading the seven provinces in the southwest for half a year. What you are saying is that you want me to punish you because I am innocent? "
The dark and cold voice caused the surnamed Feng Censor's heart to sink.
However, Yin Yu's tone changed.
"However, our Taishang has half of the country's taxes, seven provinces, ten million troops. Ten thousand War Generals. But we can't just defend the Hundred Victory Pass after expending so much effort. "
Shiyue was expressionless but he could roughly guess what Yin Yu meant.
As expected, Yin Yu continued, "I have always known about your talents and have relied on you to help me. I wonder if Minister Shi can help me take back Jiangnan within three months? "
The moment these words were said, the hall was instantly silent. Everyone's gaze turned towards Shi Yue.
Shiyue was helpless and could only bow, replying seriously, "My father has been in your good graces for a long time. If he knows what you are saying, he will go all out!"
"Tell him not to be too anxious. He needs to plan before acting."
Yin Yu broke into a laugh, his gaze was indiscernible, "I heard that the Dark World Demon Court has sent troops to attack the Celestial World under Da Qian. This is a rare chance and I hope that your father doesn't miss it. In addition, We will do our best to gather all the military supplies he needs. Be it increasing taxes or recruiting troops, it will all be up to your father. "
Not only was Shiyue unhappy, but his gaze became even heavier.
The more Yin Yu did everything perfectly, the more he couldn't reject it.
If he couldn't take down Jiangnan within three months. Then, it would be natural for him to send a decree.
At that time, Yin Yu would be righteous and even if he wiped out the Shi Family, no one would object.
A chill rose in his heart as Shiyue bowed once more, "I will tell my father."
Only then did Yin Yu smile and casually keep the document in front of him.
At this moment, another person walked out from the group of officials. It was the Hanlin Academy scholar Zuoxin.
"I have a document!"
Holding the memorial in his hand, a eunuch took it and presented it to Yinyu.
"Guilty official Jin Buhui didn't repent in jail and spouted nonsense. He said that Your Majesty is useless and can't listen to good advice. He has ruled for hundreds of years and has become arrogant. He said that if this goes on, then the Taishang will be wiped out in three years. Such words are obviously filled with grievances against Your Majesty … "
Yin Yu frowned and took the document. After looking at it for a moment, his face turned ashen white. Every single word and sentence was extremely glaring.
It caused his robe to flutter without any wind and the veins on his forehead popped out.
"If I continue to do things my own way and don't think about governance, easily moving troops and wasting the country, our Taishang will be wiped out in three years? This is very good! "
However, he instantly calmed down and Yin Yu squinted.
"Zuoqing, this Jin Buhui is your student. How do you think we should deal with him?"
"Although this kid and I were master and disciple. However, a year ago, we broke all ties. "
Zuoxin's expression was solemn, "Even if we were master and disciple, I would break all ties with such a fatherless disciple. Please cut him in half at the waist to warn the future generations! "
Shiyue was startled, Jin Buhui? Cut in half? How could he do that?
He wanted to open his mouth to persuade but he was speechless.
At this moment, the Shi Family couldn't even protect their own lives, much less save people.
If Zhongxuan was here, he would definitely persuade him. However, at this moment, who could stop Yin Yu?
"Cut in half?"
Yin Yu took in a few deep breaths like he was still furious. In the end, he scoffed coldly, "Even death by a thousand cuts won't be able to calm me down. However, thinking about this kid, after all, he is loyal to the country. Giving you face, I will cut him in half! After he dies, I will hang his head in front of the palace. I want to see whether or not this Taishang will be wiped out in three years! "
Shiyue's body shook and then calmed down. The ministers in the hall were either filled with righteous indignation or praised His Majesty's wisdom. No one objected. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
