"Bring him up!"
Jiang Chen said calmly.
"I, the sinner Wei Guoquan, have an audience with you!”
Liu Zhuo immediately shouted at the top of his voice.
As soon as he said this, all the officials widened their eyes as if they had seen a ghost. Their faces were filled with shock!
At first, they thought that they had heard wrongly!
After all, they knew better than anyone what kind of existence Wei Guoquan was. His ability was so great that he had the power to dominate the entire court. He alone could contend with the entire cabinet!
Not to mention the civil and military officials, even the Chief Assistant Zhang Zheng had to show some respect when he saw Wei Guoquan!
Therefore, everyone couldn't believe that Jiang Chen actually took down Wei Guoquan!
How was this possible?
Dada Dada--
Immediately after, a group of uniform footsteps came from outside the hall!
Tens of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded the Virtue Proclamation Hall!
Then, the 3,000 Brocade Guards walked into the hall with embroidered spring sabers at their waists and kowtowed!
"Embroidered Uniform Guards greet Your Majesty. The criminal Wei Guoquan has been brought here!”
At this moment, the officials were once again shocked!
Not to mention the Imperial Army, just the three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards were not easy to deal with!
As soon as they entered the hall, a huge killing intent spread out!
The officials couldn't help but shiver in shock!
This was the first time they saw the Brocade Guard, so they didn't need to guess to know that they were Jiang Chen's trusted aides!
However, what they never expected was that Jiang Chen, who had no power and was completely figurehead, actually formed such a huge elite force in less than a month after he ascended the throne. It was too shocking!
What was even more shocking was that after the Embroidered Uniform Guards parted, they revealed Wei Guoquan, who was wearing shackles and had messy white hair. His face was extremely haggard!
Hiss--
All the officials in the court gasped!
They never expected Jiang Chen to actually take down Wei Guoquan!
At this moment, Wei Guoquan looked extremely miserable. He looked like a prisoner. He no longer had the high-spirited look he had when he was in the imperial court during the eunuch dictatorship. He looked more than ten years older!
At this moment, everyone's hearts seemed to have been hammered by a heavy hammer. They were shaken!
"Read!"
Jiang Chen remained calm and said calmly.
Liu Zhuo immediately spread out the paper and said," The seal of the ceremonial supervisor, Wei Guoquan, has committed the following crimes…According to the laws of Tianwu Kingdom, he should be beheaded!”
Hearing this, the hearts of the civil and military officials who were still in shock could not help but jump!
Everyone looked at Jiang Chen in horror, waiting for his answer!
They were all waiting to see if Jiang Chen really dared to kill Wei Guoquan!
After all, Wei Guoquan still had a lot of power in the imperial court!
Jiang Chen remained calm as he said,""Wei Guoquan, do you know your crimes?"
Wei Guoquan laughed. He had already confessed. He was still wondering why Jiang Chen didn't kill him!
Now, he understood that Jiang Chen wanted to use him to establish his authority in the court!
After all, using him to establish his prestige and killing him in front of all the officials was more effective than killing a thousand or ten thousand Feng Bao and Zhang Hong!
In just an instant, it would be able to intimidate the officials, strike down the cabinet ministers, and rebuild the imperial power!
High! It was really high!
Even though Wei Guoquan was captured and used by Jiang Chen, he still couldn't help but admire Jiang Chen!
Wei Guoquan was right. He was the key chess piece Jiang Chen used to intimidate the court, suppress the cabinet, and establish his power!
At the same time, all the officials turned to look at Wei Guoquan. In their opinion, Wei Guoquan would never admit his guilt!
However, to everyone's surprise, Wei Guoquan had completely given up. He knew that he would die without a doubt, and he definitely couldn't defeat Jiang Chen.
Instead of not admitting his guilt, he might as well help Jiang Chen in exchange for the safety of his family. Otherwise, he believed Jiang Chen would kill his entire family!
Therefore, Wei Guoquan bent down with difficulty and kowtowed."This old servant pleads guilty. This old servant deserves to die ten thousand times. Thank you, Your Majesty, for granting me death. Your Majesty is wise.”
Boom!
As soon as Wei Guoquan said this, a huge commotion broke out in the royal court!
All the officials were so shocked that their bodies trembled!
They couldn't believe their ears. The powerful and arrogant Thousand-year-old Wei Guoquan was not only captured by Jiang Chen, but he also confessed in court!
How was this possible?
How did Jiang Chen do it!
The officials couldn't believe it at all. They felt as if their worldview had collapsed!
Jiang Chen was also very decisive and didn't care about the power of Wei Guoquan's remaining party. Under the shocked gaze of the civil and military officials, he waved his hand and said,""Drag him out and behead him for public display!"
From the beginning to the end, he was not surprised by Wei Guoquan's choice at all!
After all, this was also an open scheme. He believed that smart people would make such a choice. Wei Guoquan was a smart person!
And this design was already in place when Jiang Chen dealt with Wei Guoquan. What he pursued at that time was the biggest benefit, so he didn't kill Wei Guoquan!
In his opinion, Wei Guoquan had another greatest use, which was to establish his authority!
Now, Wei Guoquan had lost all his value. He had become a useless chess piece and should be discarded!
"God bless our country. With this ruler, our country will definitely prosper! It will definitely flourish!"
When Wei Guoquan was dragged away, he kept screaming to increase his value, hoping Jiang Chen would let his family go!
This made Jiang Chen very satisfied.
Kacha--
But soon, a crisp sound rang out, and Wei Guoquan's roar also dissipated!
The entire Golden Palace Hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard!
The civil and military officials, including Zhang Zheng and the others, were all pale with fear!
At this moment, they finally felt the majesty emanating from Jiang Chen!
This was the first time they felt the majesty of the emperor from Jiang Chen!
No one had expected that the young emperor's first display of imperial might would suppress them to the point that they could not breathe!
