Liu Che was not in a hurry. He sat on the dragon throne and waited for Chao Cuo's answer.
The Black Armored Army had already been sent out. If Chao Cuo still disappointed him, then there was no point in keeping him!
Suddenly, Chao Cuo pushed the box beside him forward.
"Lord Zhao Kui is here!"
As he spoke, Chao Cuo suddenly opened the box.
Immediately, a thick smell of blood filled the air.
All the officials looked over and saw Zhao Kui's head lying quietly in the box. He looked like he had died with grievances!
For a moment, fear filled the hearts of all the officials!
Such a bloody scene scared the civil officials into retreating, their faces pale.
They originally wanted to see Liu Che suffer, but now, they saw Zhao Kui's head!
Although those military officials could still maintain their composure, their expressions were similarly ugly.
Tiger Teeth General Zhao Kui was a minister of the court, and he was killed just like that?
This was a huge disaster!
Chao Cuo had just come out of the imperial prison, and he had already killed an official of the court. How ruthless!
The hearts of the officials were in turmoil, and they looked at Chao Cuo with a hint of respect.
Suddenly, a military official strode out of the formation and said to Liu Che,""Your Majesty, this lowly subject wishes to consult Chao Cuo!”
"Tiger Teeth General Lord Zhao is a minister of the current dynasty. He has quite a reputation in the army and has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty!”
"The madman Chao Cuo ordered his subordinates to kill the ministers of the court, causing unrest in the morale of the army.”
"Your Majesty, please issue a decree to kill Chao Cuo! Help General Zhao!"
Immediately, a civil official also walked out of the line and said.
"Your Majesty, please issue a decree to kill Chao Cuo! Help General Zhao!"
"Your Majesty, please issue a decree to kill Chao Cuo! Help General Zhao!"
Three or four people stood out, all hoping that Liu Che would issue a decree to kill Chao Cuo.
Liu Che sneered in his heart. How could he not know the intentions of these people?
How could Liu Che, who had 100 points of Emperor Skill, be so easy to deal with?
Liu Che immediately looked at Tian Meng and said,""Grand Imperial Physician Tian Meng."
"Your humble subject is here."
Tian Kui quickly walked out of the formation.
"What do you think about this?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Chao is not a reckless person! He must have his reasons for doing this! Why not give Sir Chao a chance to explain? Perhaps there is something hidden behind this."
Liu Che nodded and said calmly,""Chao Cuo, I asked you to check on the health of the ministers. Why did you bring Zhao Kui's head to court?”
Chao Cuo was still kneeling." Your Majesty, when I went, Lord Zhao was already beyond cure. He lied and slandered the Emperor!"”
"I can't bear to see Lord Zhao fall like this. I can only send him off with tears in my eyes!”
"I had no choice!" Chao Cuo bowed deeply to Liu Che and said,"Your Majesty, I have killed a minister of the current dynasty. I am guilty!”
"Your Majesty, please punish me!"
A few ministers were about to speak when Liu Che waved his hand and said,""Forget it, since Zhao Kui's illness is beyond cure, Chao Cuo has no choice!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"
Suddenly, Liu Che changed the topic and said seriously,""Chao Cuo!"
"Your humble subject is here!"
"Zhao Kui, is this disease contagious?"
"Your Majesty, this disease is highly contagious! However, I have already locked up over a hundred people in General Hu Ya's residence! Prepare to examine them one by one!"
Liu Che immediately stood up and said,"Good!" Chao Cuo, you did well! There's a reward!"
"Chun Tuo!"
"This servant is here."
"Reward Chao Cuo…a horse! One thousand taels of gold! Ten thousand taels of silver!"
"Yes!"
Chao Cuo pressed his head to the ground and said respectfully,"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Che and Chao Cuo's double act caused the ministers 'faces to turn ashen.
Chao Cuo had killed a minister of the court, yet Liu Che had not blamed him, but instead rewarded him?
This made the bad feeling in their hearts even stronger!
They had a feeling that Liu Che was playing a big game of chess!
As for who would become the abandoned chess piece on the chessboard, none of the officials could guess!
Accompanying the king was like accompanying a tiger!
After dealing with Zhao Kui's matter, Liu Che turned his gaze to the other five ministers who were " unwell."
These five officials were clearly on the side of the King of Liang, how could Liu Che let them off?
"How are the other five beloved ministers?" Liu Che asked slowly.”
Liu Che's expression was calm, making it difficult to figure out his true thoughts.
Right Fufeng Ji Changqing saw that the situation was not right. He could not easily offend this new emperor, so he quickly admitted defeat and said,"Your Majesty, this old minister is old and sick. I beg Your Majesty for forgiveness.”
The others said.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject has a cold and is unable to attend the morning court today.”
"Your Majesty, my old illness has relapsed…"
"Your Majesty, I injured my leg yesterday…"
A smile appeared on Liu Che's face.""One is sick, one has a cold, one has a relapse…"
A trace of panic flashed across the faces of Ji Changqing and the others, and they knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
"This subject…has committed a crime, please punish me, Your Majesty!”
"This subject…has committed a crime, please punish me, Your Majesty!”
……
Liu Che shook his head and said seriously," All of you are the ministers of the current dynasty. You are the backbone of the Han Dynasty!”
"You can't be careless with your bodies!”
" How about this..." Liu Che paused and swept his sharp gaze across the ministers.
All the ministers were flustered and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to meet Liu Che's gaze.
They always felt that Liu Che wanted to make a move on Ji Changqing and the others, afraid that they would be unlucky.
The few ministers who had stood up for Zhao Kui also secretly sat back down.
It was obvious that they did not intend to participate in this matter.
This young emperor was not to be trifled with. The risk was too high.
At this moment, Ji Changqing and the others felt a chill in their hearts, but they did not dare to say anything. They could only brace themselves and hold on.
Finally, Liu Che's gaze fell on Chun Tuo.
"Chun Tuo."
"This servant is here."
"Where is my imperial physician?"
Chun Tuo suddenly understood.
As the chief eunuch who had served two previous emperors, Chun Tuo naturally understood Liu Che's meaning.
"Summon the Imperial Physician into the hall!"
The moment these words were said, Ji Changqing and the others seemed to have been struck by lightning!
No one expected Liu Che to be so vicious!
Summoning the imperial physician just because of a disagreement?
He didn't give her any face at all!
If they were diagnosed as not sick, they would be lying to the emperor!
Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down Ji Changqing's forehead, and a thick sense of life and death crisis filled his heart.
One of the ministers was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground!
" Your Majesty, I…" Ji Changqing was about to speak when Liu Che waved his hand and interrupted him,""Minister Ji, you don't have to say anything."
"You're an important official of the Han Dynasty. You've done your best for the Han Dynasty.”
"Don't worry, no matter what illness it is, zhen will definitely get the imperial physician to treat you!”
Hearing this, Ji Changqing's expression turned bitter as a trace of regret flashed across his eyes.
This time, he had hit a metal plate.
He knew that his official career was over.
The other ministers buried their heads deeply. They knew that whoever stood out at this time would be in trouble!
Just as they were lamenting in their hearts that Ji Changqing and the others were about to end their official career, the three imperial physicians arrived.
The three imperial physicians checked the pulse of Ji Changqing and the others one by one. After diagnosis, they bowed to Liu Che from afar and said,"Your Majesty, Sir Ji and the others have no disease!”
"Is that true?" Liu Che narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to use my life as a guarantee.”
"Alright, you guys can leave."
Liu Che had just dismissed the three imperial physicians when Ji Changqing and the others knelt on the ground with a thud and said with a sobbing tone,"Your Majesty, this humble subject is guilty!"
Liu Che ignored them and looked at Chao Cuo,"Chao Cuo!"
Chao Cuo understood and immediately said with killing intent,"Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Great Han Dynasty, those who deceive the emperor…"
"He should be executed!"
