Below the throne room, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty sat on the throne. Even though he was just sitting, he still maintained a high and mighty appearance. He looked at Ye Xuan and said, "That's right. I am the current emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Chun. Who are you, and why have you come to see me? Do you have any grievances that you want us to seek redress for you? "
"Let you make the decision for me?!" Hearing Zhao Chun's words, the corners of Ye Xuan's mouth curled up into a smile. He looked at the somewhat aged Great Song Emperor before him mockingly. Then, with a hint of a cold smile, he said, "Alright, since you want to stand up for me, then I will say something!"
"Who is Gao Siyuan? Step forward!" Ye Xuan turned around and stood beside the Emperor, looking down at the civil and military officials below.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the civil and military officials looked at each other. Then, their gazes fell on a silver-haired old man standing at the very front. He was the current Great Song Imperial Palace Commander and Crown Prince's Junior Protector, Gao Siyuan, Lord Gao.
Gao Siyuan's expression changed several times when he heard that the person who suddenly appeared was actually looking for him. He could already feel the gleeful gazes the others were giving him. His eyes flickered for a moment, and then he walked out of the formation with a proud expression. He looked at Ye Xuan and said, "I am Gao Siyuan. May I know what business you have with me?"
"Very good!" Seeing Gao Siyuan with his head held high and chest puffed out, Ye Xuan smiled, "If you ask me why I'm looking for you, then you should ask yourself. I don't care about worldly affairs at home, but you sent people from the Kaifeng Mansion. Not only did they barge into my mansion, but they also wanted to capture me by force. I'd like to ask you what your intentions are!"
Hearing what Ye Xuan said, Gao Siyuan's expression could not help but change slightly. His eyes darted around, and he immediately figured out why this person in front of him had come to him.
Sending people from Kaifeng Residence to capture people, apart from capturing those four damned maidservants to avenge his son, what else could it be?
However, this was the Throne Room. Naturally, this matter could not be leaked out. Otherwise, seeing how this person even dared to barge into the Throne Room, if he admitted to doing this today, the outcome would not be good.
Thinking of this, Gao Siyuan couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment. He looked at Ye Xuan and said, "This official doesn't know what you are talking about. This official came to attend the court meeting early this morning. When did I send someone to ask Kaifeng Manor to capture someone?"
Pa! Pa! Pa!!!
Looking at Gao Siyuan's expression, Ye Xuan could not help but clap his hands. He then smiled and said, "Lord Gao's acting skills are quite good. It's such a waste not to become an actor!"
"How dare you! I've always been a man of my word. If Your Excellency has evidence that I ordered someone to arrest you, please show it to me. This is the Throne Room of the Great Song. It's not a place where Your Excellency can spout nonsense! "Gao Siyuan looked at Ye Xuan with a stern and righteous expression. He had the air of a righteous minister.
"Lord Gao is right. This is the Throne Room of the Great Song. Who are you? How dare you be so impudent here? Get down here quickly!"
"That's right. If you have evidence, then show it. The officials of the Great Song are not people that you can slander as you please."
"Outrageous! Outrageous! How dare you stand shoulder to shoulder with an official? Hurry up and get down here!"
Seeing Gao Siyuan's stern and righteous expression, and remembering that this was the Throne Room of the Great Song, the people who were originally with Gao Siyuan immediately spoke up.
"That's right. This … hero, could it be that you have wrongly accused Lord Gao? Lord Gao's character is awe-inspiring. Everyone in the court knows about it. Don't be provoked by scoundrels!" Seeing the officials below him speak up, the Great Song Emperor sitting on the throne could not help but speak up.
"Haha!" Ye Xuan looked at the people who stood up and righteously scolded him. He was neither angry nor angry. Instead, he smiled coldly and said, "Do you think that I came here today to talk about evidence and reason with you?
"I can tell with one glance which of you have done anything and how much money you have embezzled. You are just jackals of the same tribe as Gao Siyuan. Your deaths are not to be regretted!"
As Ye Xuan spoke, he exerted his will. Those ministers who had come forward to scold Ye Xuan fell to the ground one after another.
"Dead … dead …?!!!" When the people standing at the side saw the ministers suddenly collapse, they checked their breathing, and then suddenly screamed in horror.
"Dead?!" When the others heard this cry and saw the officials on the ground, their expressions changed drastically. They looked at Ye Xuan in shock.
Even the Great Song Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Up until now, they had not seen how Ye Xuan had killed them. Coupled with the strange state of the palace's guards, everyone started to feel a chill in their hearts.
"You … you …" Gao Siyuan stood below and looked at his dead comrades on the ground. His face turned pale and his body trembled as he looked at Ye Xuan.
Gao Siyuan could never have imagined that Ye Xuan would kill someone so brazenly in front of the eyes of so many people. One must know that this was the Throne Room in the Great Song Dynasty, in front of all the civil and military officials. Was he not afraid of the imperial court?
"Gao Siyuan, your original name is Gao Jian. You were originally a street thug. It was not easy for a street thug to enter the court. I originally did not want to care about the secular world. If not for your lack of discipline, I would not have punished your son, Gao Ping. "
"Gao Ping's death can be said to be his own fault. However, not only did you not reflect on it, but you also pushed the blame to others. You actually allowed the people of Kaifeng Mansion to frame you and wanted to kill your entire family. This is a crime that cannot be tolerated. Now, I will sentence you to death with five lightning strikes, never to reincarnate!"
Ye Xuan was like a god. His expression was as cold as ice, and his words were like thunder, dignified and awe-inspiring. As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling bolt of lightning fell from the golden roof of the throne room, directly striking Gao Siyuan.
"Rumble!"
In the next moment, Gao Siyuan did not even have the time to scream. After the lightning bolt dissipated, only some ashes were left on the ground.
"God, god …"
"God, please spare me …"
If it was said that Ye Xuan could kill countless officials with just a thought, and this terrified the Emperor and the remaining officials. Now that he had killed Gao Siyuan with a lightning bolt, the Emperor and the officials were as shocked as gods. They did not dare to have the slightest bit of resentment.
However, Ye Xuan did not care about these people. He turned around to look at the trembling Emperor and said, "As for you, Zhao Chun, you are muddle-headed and incompetent. You appointed sycophants and caused the people to suffer. Now, I will strip you of your title as Emperor and demote you to a commoner as a form of respect!"
As he spoke, Ye Xuan chopped at Zhao Chun's head with his right hand. In the void, the people seemed to hear the long roar of a real dragon before its death. The dragon-shaped fate that was originally connected to Zhao Chun's body was instantly cut apart. Zhao Chun was shocked and directly fell from the dragon throne.
Looking at Zhao Chun rolling down the dragon throne, Ye Xuan let out a light snort, and then his figure disappeared into the void...
