They had thought that after yesterday's incident, Ye Chen would return to his previous life, ignoring the court and enjoying himself every day. However, at this moment, the bell suddenly rang. How could they not be surprised?!
However, even though he was surprised, he still had to be polite.
When all the officials had arrived, they lined up and bowed to Ye Chen, who was wearing the Mystic Bird King's robe on the throne.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Ye Chen's expression was calm as he raised his right hand and said,""Everyone, please rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The officials thanked him and stood up.
At this moment, the imperial officer of the waiting hall shouted loudly,"If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, withdraw!"
Nothing happened?
How could he be fine!
In the past half a year since Di Xin had gone to court, there had been many things that had been left unsettled!
Now that Ye Chen was in court, no matter what the reason was, he still had to report it!
There was a moment of silence.
Among the generals, a silver-armored general suddenly stood up and raised his tooth-shaped board."Your Majesty, I have something to report!”
Ye Chen looked over and saw that the person who had spoken was the general, the military minister, the eldest of the two brothers who had helped Yin Jiao and Yin Hong to rebel against Chaoge in the novel.
Name: Fang Xiang
[Identity: Great Shang General]
[Constitution: Primordial Spirit Body]
[Cultivation Technique: Xuanyuan Body Tempering Technique]
[Cultivation: Physical Body Celestial Immortal]
[Magical treasures: Golden Swallowing Saber, Silver Gold Silk Armor, Ice Heart Protection Mirror…]
[Loyalty: 93]
…
A loyalty of 93 points was even higher than Huang Feihu!
Before Di Xin killed his wife, abandoned his son, and killed his loyal officials, Fang Xiang was still relatively loyal to Di Xin.
Moreover, Fang Xiang and his brother Fang Bi could be said to be the earliest true door gods in the history of China. After the two of them died, one was conferred the title of "Dao Revealing God" and the other was conferred the title of "Path-opening God".
Before Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, these two brothers were pasted on every household's door.
Even in Great Shang, these two brothers were the Hall Guarding Generals. They were responsible for guarding the palace and their duties were extremely important.
He could be considered a rare talent!
Ye Chen nodded and looked at Fang Xiang.”
Minister Fang's expression was solemn as he cupped his hands at Ye Chen.""Your Majesty, this subject reports that the treacherous official is especially muddle-headed. He used the benefits of his position to buy and sell officials and privately accept bribes. This is a serious crime.”
Swoosh!
The officials turned their gazes and looked at the ranks of civil officials. Standing in the middle was a thin middle-aged man wearing a black official robe and a mustache. This middle-aged man was You Hun!
Name: You Hun
[Identity: Great Shang's remonstrance doctor]
[Constitution: Mortal Constitution]
[Cultivation Technique: None]
[Cultivation: None]
[Magic Treasure: None]
[Loyalty: 60]
…
They really were brothers!
Other than his name and identity, You Hun's other attributes, including loyalty, were exactly the same as Fei Zhong's!
Even in the original novel, this old man was beheaded by Jiang Ziya along with Fei Zhong and was named the " Tongue Rolling Star."
Now that Fei Zhong had left first, it was his turn!
Ye Chen looked at You Hun and said lightly,"Minister You, do you have any excuses?"”
You Hun's face was pale and his body was trembling. He left the class and said," Your…Your Majesty, I know my sins. Please punish me…"
He did not deny it because his biggest supporters were Daji and Fei Zhong. Now that Fei Zhong was executed, no one knew what was going on with Daji. No one could protect him anymore.
Minister Fang was on the same side as Shang Rong and Huang Feihu. Since Minister Fang had spoken, Shang Rong and the others must have gotten the evidence. It was useless for him to deny it.
If he confessed his mistake now, the king might spare him from the death penalty on account of his many years of service as an official!
Ye Chen looked at You Hun expressionlessly." Since you've confessed, then…drag him out and behead him!”
Your big brother is already dead, what's the point of you still alive!
Moreover, he had already disappointed Shang Rong and the others yesterday because of Daji. Now that he was so confused, Ye Chen did not want to provoke them anymore.
Moreover, the Investiture of the Gods should have already begun to take effect. You Hun was destined to be on the Investiture of the Gods, as well as Fei Zhong, who had already hanged himself, and Uncle Mei, who had been branded.
In the future, if they had the chance to obtain the Investiture of the Gods, it would be fine if they were given another chance to work for Great Shang!
You Hun's face instantly turned pale. He hurriedly knelt down and begged,"Great King, spare my life! Please spare my life on account of my many years of service as an official!”
Ye Chen waved his hand." Drag him out and give him a quick death!"”
"Yes!"
Two guards walked out and dragged You Hun out of the hall, ignoring his struggles and pleas.
The hall regained its peace.
Hope rose in the eyes of the officials again as they looked at Ye Chen quietly.
"Is there anyone else who has something to report?"
Ye Chen looked at the officials and said calmly.
The hall was silent for a moment.
Then…
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou in the east are in a geological drought. It has been three years since there has been any rain. Countless people have died and countless people are complaining!”
"Your Majesty, Liang Province and Fei Province in the south are dry, and the water is turbid. It has also not rained for three years, and countless people have died.”
"Your Majesty, the North Sea's Linzhou region has been flooded. The Yellow River is flooded and flows to the Wei River and Yongzhou region, causing countless floods.”
"Your Majesty, the pirates of the East Sea are rampant and robbing the coastal villages and cities. The coastal areas are in a state of panic. Officials from all over the country have jointly written a letter requesting Your Majesty to send troops to eliminate the pirates!”
"Your Majesty, the 72 vassals of the North Sea have rebelled. Grand Preceptor Wen has gone to quell the rebellion, but it is said that the 72 vassals are led by Yuan Futong and colluded with the remnants of the Jiuli tribe in the far north of the North Sea. Now that the war is raging, Your Majesty should send troops to reinforce Grand Preceptor Wen!”
"Your Majesty, the southern barbarians have repeatedly invaded the borders of Great Shang and disturbed the people. Marquis of South Count E Chongyu requests for orders to send troops to suppress the barbarians!”
"Your Majesty, the Flame Tribe of the Western Regions has rebelled. Within three months, they have conquered four states and thirteen counties.”
" Your Majesty, the water race in the southwest is rebelling…"
" Your Majesty, the Wood Tribe in the northwest…"
"Your Majesty…"
With Shang Rong and the other important ministers as the leaders, the civil and military officials came forward to report.
One after another, the officials began to speak of memorials that would make one's heart tremble.
Ye Chen was dumbfounded!
Damn it, so many things had happened in just half a year?!
