The civil and military officials all paid their respects. Only General Zhuo, who was like a stray dog, stubbornly lay on the ground and refused to kneel.
A freezing glare shone in Su Ming's eyes. Those who blocked the way would die!
"Prime Minister Wang," he said to the officials in the hall,"draft the decree."”
Hearing this, the old Prime Minister Wang Yanling quickly stepped forward and bowed, listening to Lord Su's orders.
Lord Su said coldly,""The Divine Martial Great General Zhuo Wanli has committed an unforgivable crime. From now on, the post of General Shenwu will be abolished. At noon tomorrow, he will be beheaded at Caishikou for public display. In addition, the commander of the Imperial Army, Wei Qing, has made great contributions in protecting the emperor. He will take over the position of the Divine Martial Great General.”
A moment later, the dejected Divine Martial General was dragged away by the golden-armored guard.
Under the intimidation of the young Lord Su's heaven-defying combat strength, he could not muster up any thoughts of resistance at all.
"Wei Qing, thank you for your kindness, Lord Su! In this life, he would not refuse to go through fire and water again!”
The silver-armored General Wei was so excited that his palms were sweating. He bowed deeply to Su and Zhao, who were sitting on the dragon throne in the hall.
He had not expected that his unintentional act of protecting Lord Su would actually bring him such great luck.
For a moment, Wei Qing made up his mind that he would follow Lord Su's lead in the future.
The Divine Martial General was a first-grade general with 200,000 troops under him. He was a true noble with great power.
All the officials in the hall had no objections to Lord Su's actions just now.
Everyone was respectful and fearful of this Heaven's Chosen Foreign Elder. This person's strength was extraordinary and he was decisive in killing. Fortunately, rewards and punishments were clear. This might not be a bad thing for the future of the Yuan Wu Dynasty.
"If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, withdraw!" Su Ming waved his hand lazily and said to the officials with an impatient look on his face.
He obviously didn't have much patience to continue sitting on the cold golden dragon throne. He felt that the dragon throne was dull and rigid. It was not as comfortable as sitting on a beauty.
Su Ming tugged at the seventh princess's snow-white hand and motioned for the two of them to leave Jade Pure Palace.
When Zhao Ying saw that it was Sir Su's first time attending court today, and that he had achieved his goal of restoring his name and establishing his might, he happily followed Su Ming out of Jade Pure Palace. The civil and military officials also left.
In the imperial garden of the harem.
Under a pavilion by the lake, the Seventh Princess Zhao Ying had already dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs, leaving only Lord Su by her side.
Zhao Ying peeled an orange elegantly, then lifted her hand and handed it to Su Ming with a smile.
She then teased," Lord Su, you're so mighty today. The Divine Martial General, who has an army of 200,000, killed Zhuo Wanli without asking for his permission. He's a princess after all!"”
"Your Highness, this is my fault! Isn't it good for me to help you get rid of the traitor that your Yuan Wu Dynasty can't kill?”Su Ming took the orange that Zhao Ying had peeled and started eating it at a steady pace.
"Hehehe…You already knew that I didn't blame you, right? You bad guy." The Seventh Princess used her warm and clear voice to feign anger.
Her beautiful eyes lit up as she stared at the handsome youth beside her and said,"Lord Su did a very beautiful job in the morning court today. First, he showed his terrifying combat strength to intimidate the general, Zhuo Wanli, who was at the eighth grade of the Xiantian realm. He used absolute strength to clear Lord Su's name.”
"After that, he decisively beheaded the traitor Great General Shenwu. In the end, he rewarded and punished the newly promoted Great General Shenwu, Wei Qing, and convinced him to submit. This move could be said to be exquisite and unparalleled. Lord Su, you are really a political genius!”
Su Ming smiled helplessly and said," I only act according to my heart. I do what I want. I'm not bound by anything. I just do what I want." It has nothing to do with the political tactics that Your Majesty is talking about.”
"Humph! Didn't I say that you're not allowed to call me Your Majesty? It's disgraceful. Why does Lord Su insist on doing this?”The Seventh Princess, Zhao Ying, said in a coquettish tone.
Su Ming did not say anything else. After he finished eating the Song Tangerines that Zhao Ying had personally peeled, he said to the seventh princess with a serious expression,"Ying 'er, let's talk about serious matters. I've heard a little about the two counties of the Eastern and Western Prefectures. Tell me, what do I need to do?”
When she heard that, Zhao Ying stared at Su Ming quietly. A strange light shone in her beautiful eyes, as if as long as this handsome young man was around, everything she wanted would come true.
For example, the former Divine Martial General Zhuo Wanli, who was at the eighth grade of the Xiantian realm, was invincible. The Yuan Wu Dynasty could not do anything to him. However, when he encountered Lord Su, he subdued him in just half an incense stick's time, beheaded him in public, and took away his military power. This thunderous method had to make people sincerely admire him.
The Seventh Princess paused for a moment and then said seriously,""Xiaoyao Royal City, Raindrop Tower."
Su Ming's expression was calm, but he did not speak.
He knew that Freedom King and the royal family were not on good terms. These years, they had been fighting openly and secretly.
"Lord Su, do you know that the Eastern Prefecture and the Western Prefecture were originally the territories of our Yuan Wu Dynasty? They are easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, three years ago, King Xiaoyao colluded with foreign enemies and invaded these two counties overnight.”
"In order to recapture the central plains, our Yuanwu Imperial Court and King Xiaoyao have been at war for a year, but we still haven't been able to conquer the two counties. Instead, we have wasted our national strength and caused the people to suffer.”
"Even Yuan Wu Dynasty can't withstand such a consumption, so can Freedom King?" Su Ming asked thoughtfully.”
"Naturally, he couldn't stand it, so the Regent King negotiated with the rebels of the Freedom King. The final result of the negotiations was that the ownership of the two prefectures in the Eastern and Western Regions would be determined by the success or failure of the Raindrops Pavilion's challenge.”
"The Raindrop Pavilion has a total of five floors from the bottom to the top. Each floor has a first-rate expert guarding it. Their cultivation is not lower than the sixth grade of the Xiantian realm.”
"If you want to take back the two counties of the Eastern and Western Regions, you must first defeat the person guarding each floor, starting from the first floor all the way to the top floor.”Seventh Princess Zhao Ying said with a serious expression.
Su Ming pondered in his heart. This was indeed a naked battle between experts in martial arts, but this method could save them from the huge cost of war and also save the people from suffering. No one would be able to say anything.
Zhao Ying gritted his teeth and said," After failing the challenge two years ago, Xu Liang and a group of experts joined the Yuan Wu Dynasty's challenge team last year. After preparing for several months, they went to the Rain-listening Tower in Freedom Royal City to participate in the challenge. However, they still returned in defeat. It's a pity.”
"The Regent Prince's disciples are also full of experts. Did he send anyone to fight last year?”Su Ming asked.
Zhao Ying pondered for a moment and said,"The Regent Prince has four masters under him, Zhao, Li, Wang, and Zhang. Among them, Little Qin Qiong and Zhao Lingfeng are the leaders."”
"The one who fought that day was Zhao Lingfeng, right?”Su Ming said flatly.
Zhao Ying shook her head slightly," Xu Liang was also there that day. After Zhao Lingfeng fought, Xu Liang immediately went upstairs.”
Su Ming knew Xu Liang's strength very well. He was a sixth grade Nascent Realm warrior, but he did not expect that he would still be defeated so badly.
It seemed that Freedom King's power was not ordinary!
