"Did they really change people?"
Marquis Wu Zong's crazed look caused Marquis Wen Zong's face to flash with astonishment.
Three dukes and nine ministers!
They were the foundation of Great Qin's officials, and they also represented the people at the top of Great Qin's power!
The Grand Commanders were in charge of Great Qin's military!
The guards of Xianyang Palace were in charge of Wei Wei, one of the nine ministers under the Grand Commandant.
Whether it was the Grand Commandant or the Guard Commandant, they were all his men.
Now, even the guards of Xianyang Palace had been quietly replaced. What were they doing?
"Wu Zonghou, I'm not too sure about this!”
Grand Commandant Liu Xian's voice came from behind Marquis Wu Zong.
As the Grand Commandant of the court, his strength was also as high as that of a Great Grandmaster. He was also puzzled by this matter.
From beginning to end, he, as the Grand Commandant, didn't receive any information.
"Trash, good-for-nothing!"
"Such an important matter, you actually didn't even hear a word about it. You might as well retire. What's the use of keeping you alive?”
Wu Zonghou was furious.
The guards of Xianyang Palace were his way of keeping the Great Qin Emperor in check.
Now that the guards had been replaced, it meant that he no longer had control over the Great Qin Palace.
"Marquis Wu Zong, watch your words!"
"I'm not Lu Si!"
Grand Commandant Liu Xian's expression also turned cold.
Wu Zonghou had been bossy for too long, did he really think of himself as a dog?
He was a Grand Commandant, one of the Three Dukes of Great Qin, and held an important position in the military. His influence was not something that Lu Si could compare to.
"Ying Yue!"
"It must be her doing. I want to see what right she has to remove my people!”
Marquis Wu Zonghou was choked by Liu Xian's words, and he knew that he had lost his composure. He snorted, then turned his firepower towards Ying Yue.
……
"It seems like Ying Yue does have some tricks up her sleeve!”
Marquis Wenzong also frowned.
Changing the guards of Xianyang Palace without anyone noticing required a sufficiently strong reserve of manpower.
They had to obey Ying Yue completely!
As for the original guards of Xianyang Palace, they were probably already dead.
"Former emperor, oh former emperor, everyone said that you were just a middle-aged man. I didn't expect that you would leave behind such a deep foundation for Ying Yue!”
Marquis Wenzong's eyes turned cold!
The previous emperor!
The power that Ying Yue was using now must have been arranged by the previous emperor.
His body wasn't in good condition, and his martial arts cultivation wasn't good enough. He knew that he didn't have much time left, so he decided to place all his hopes on Ying Yue.
……
"Not bad!"
As Yun Xi walked over, she looked at the completely different guards around her and muttered to herself with a light smile.
Although the Great Qin Imperial Palace had been cleansed, it could not hide from his sharp senses. A lot of blood had flowed here last night.
It would definitely be a carefree massacre!
"He has a bold and domineering personality, and he does things flawlessly. He is indeed cut out to be an emperor!”
Yun Xi commented.
He ignored the crowd and entered the hall by himself.
There was now a white dragon throne beside the emperor's black dragon throne.
Needless to say, this seat was definitely prepared for Yun Xi.
Yun Xi smiled and sat on the White Dragon Throne.
The civil and military officials arrived one after another. When they saw Yun Xi sitting on the White Dragon Throne, their expressions changed slightly, but they tactfully did not say a word!
"My emperor has arrived!"
A moment later, a sharp voice sounded.
Empress Ying Yue showed up. When she saw Yun Xi, she nodded her head slightly to show her respect. Then, she sat on the throne and looked around the hall with her majestic eyes!
"What? Are there only so few civil and military officials in Great Qin?”
Ying Yue frowned.
The number of officials in the hall had decreased by one-fifth compared to yesterday!
One-fifth of the officials did not participate. The Emperor's first Grand Court Meeting was something that had never happened before in Great Qin's history.
If word got out, he would definitely become a laughingstock!
"Your Majesty!"
"Inspector Zhao!"
"Minister Zhan, Minister Li…There are a total of thirty-two people. They are seriously ill and can't go to court early!”
The imperial censor stepped forward and said nervously.
Thirty-two courtiers were divided into different departments, each holding an important position, and now they were all sick at the same time!
This was simply absurd!
However, as an imperial censor, this was his duty. He could only report truthfully.
When Ying Yue heard this, her expression could not help changing as she looked at Yun Xi.
Yun Xi nodded at her.
The scholarly faction!
The scholarly faction attacked for the second time!
These thirty-two people were all related to the scholarly faction, and although they weren't of high status or authority, they all had their own responsibilities!
Thirty-two people had reported their illness. It was almost obvious that they were exerting pressure.
The civil and military officials whispered to each other, and the scene instantly became noisy.
Marquis Wu Zonghou's anger had also disappeared, and he looked at Ying Yue with a mocking expression!
As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses!
Even if Ying Yue knew that they were pretending to be sick, she couldn't possibly dismiss all of them and execute them, right?
He was just sick, and he was dismissed and executed!
Would Great Qin still have officials in the future? They could just execute them one by one.
However, if he left her alone, what face would the empress have?
"This time, I want to see how that eunuch will support you!”
Marquis Wenzong smiled.
Yun Xi sat on the White Dragon Throne and looked down at the officials. She smiled and said,""Since there are thirty-two officials who are not coming, this king can only invite them!”
……
"Inspector Zhao! Here!"
"Zhan Shi's Li Zhan! Here!"
……
As soon as Yun Xi finished speaking, the eunuchs at the palace gate began to chant the names of the thirty-two officials who had not arrived.
However, what happened next made all the officials and even the two marquises 'hair stand on end!
Heads!
After every shout, a black-armored guard would carry a tray into Xianyang Palace!
Inspector Zhao of the Patrol Division, Inspector Li of the Zhan Office, and so on…
They had indeed arrived!
However, all they saw were bloody heads!
Thirty-two courtiers corresponded to thirty-two heads!
For a moment, the court was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard!
