This empire had no way out!
It was close to noon.
Only then did the heart-wrenching screams stop.
In the Imperial Palace.
The palace maids began to tremble when they heard the screams, let alone look.
The officials also quickly left the Qin Emperor's Palace.
They ignored each other!
Their faces were pale as if they had lost their souls. They left the palace gates and rushed home!
"So ruthless!"
"Is this still the same Emperor from before?”
After returning to the residence, Grand Servant Yu ignored everyone and locked himself in the study.
He sat on the chair, his hands trembling.
His voice was low and suppressed, as if he was afraid that someone would hear him!
He was really scared today!
He had never thought that he would be so afraid of His Majesty.
Hou Zhen's death was a warning!
One must know.
These few years, he deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates. He embezzled too much and also slaughtered quite a number. He was even more disrespectful to Qin Tian in private.
He was even involved in the matter of Yang Mountain!
If that mysterious Yang Mountain Specter was really Qin Tian's means, then Qin Tian would definitely know that it was him!
……
Supreme Court.
Yang Yi sat in the hall.
The servant brought tea.
The teacup kept trembling.
"Husband, what happened to you?"
Yang Yi's wife looked at him anxiously.
His face was pale!
His expression was wooden.
"Don't bother about me!"
Yang Yi shouted.
Hou Zhen's screams echoed in his ears.
He was the chief justice of the Supreme Court and was in charge of Xing Law.
There were too many ways to torture people and kill people, but watching Hou Zhen's fate still made him unable to control his fear.
"Was it His Majesty's doing?!”
"Why does Hou Zhen suspect that it is His Majesty?”
Yang Yi muttered to himself.
He was afraid.
He was afraid of the Imperial Physician's Residence. The incident at Yangshan was the doing of His Majesty!
Sea Transformation Realm sect immortal masters were all killed.
No one noticed.
What kind of power was that?
However, the emperor didn't admit it or deny it. He was too calm, so he couldn't figure it out.
……
At the Grand Marshal's Manor.
Chen Qing frowned.
Even he couldn't handle today's show!
"Could it be that the matter of the doctor's residence was really his doing?”
"But where did he come from?"
"Bai Yue, Wang Zhan, I've done my research. They definitely don't have such power.”
"Whether it's him or not!"
"We must investigate it clearly!"
Chen Qing pondered.
The person he had always neglected was actually so terrifying in the blink of an eye. He had to take him seriously.
……
"Your Majesty, you surprised me today!”
Bai Yue returned.
He sat in a courtyard and chatted with Wang Zhan, Zhao Qi, Li Xuan, and Yan Qing.
The few of them also had lingering fears.
"Yeah! In the past, His Majesty was not so unyielding!"
Li Xuan was also rather shocked and surprised.
Wang Zhan said," Perhaps we have all underestimated Your Majesty!”
"Two days ago, His Majesty summoned me into the palace and ordered him to select and train more people for use. Now that Hou Zhen has been killed, this cannot be a coincidence.”
……
"I'm more curious. Was the matter of the doctor's residence His Majesty's doing? Since Hou Zhen was so sure that it was His Majesty's doing, then he must know something to say that!”
Zhao Qi reminded.
Wang Zhan and Bai Yue did not answer.
They were almost certain that it had something to do with His Majesty!
However, they did not know what kind of method it was.
How powerful was it?
"We will go and understand His Majesty. General Zhao, you have to pay close attention to the Grand Commandant and the Prime Minister. His Majesty's attack this time might not only be a deterrent but also a disturbance.”
Bai Yue was even more experienced as he reminded Zhao Qi, Yan Qing, and the others.
Zhao Qi, Yan Qing, and the others nodded!
……
The massacre of the doctor's manor was not over yet.
The doctor, Hou Zhen, attempted to assassinate the Emperor in the court and was torn into pieces, and all the officials watched helplessly.
This shocked many people!
One had to know that in the past, the Emperor could only stabilize the situation when he was surrounded by officials.
How could he be as tough as he was now!
"This is going to aggravate the situation!”
"The sun has already set. Now, this false illusion of prosperity of the Imperial City has been torn apart. Perhaps, it's not far from collapsing.”
"But this vast Qinchuan is our home!”
Many people started discussing in private.
Actually, even the commoners knew that the area outside the Imperial City had long been in chaos.
There were many little rascals stirring up trouble.
Many forces were secretly watching.
In the entire empire, there was only one imperial city that still maintained the false prosperity of the empire. Now, it had been exposed!
North of the Imperial City.
Yu Family Merchant Union, Lake Pavilion!
Two middle-aged men.
A game of chess.
A few juniors stood at the side, watching with rapt attention.
The two middle-aged men were Luo Xiao, the head of the Luo Family in the Imperial City, and Yu Xuanji, the head of the Yu Family Business Alliance!
"Alliance Master Yu, what do you think of this?”
The Luo Family Head looked at Yu Xuanji.
Yu Xuanji looked at the chessboard and said," Nothing can be changed!”
"What do you mean?"
The Luo Family Head's hand paused.
Yu Xuanji placed a piece down and said slowly," The foundation has been destroyed. There is no way to reverse it! This was the current state of the empire! It was a little too late for the emperor to change his mind!”
……
"You mean, he wants to change?"
The Luo Family Head narrowed his eyes.
"Otherwise, what's the point of him doing all these things?”
Yu Xuanji said," He is more clear-headed than the previous masters of the empire, but he was born in the wrong era!”
"He wants to support this empire by himself.”
"But how can a body in his twenties withstand the weight of this empire?”
"This is already an irreversible trend. Who can save this disaster by themselves?”
"I'm just struggling!"
" Perhaps, he knew that he would not be able to escape being buried in the ruins of the collapsed Imperium in the end.”
……
"Uncle! Is it really irreversible?"
A young girl beside him said," It sounds like I quite admire him! He clearly knew the outcome, but he still refused to admit defeat.”
"Sister! Sometimes, even the heavens couldn't change this torrent!”
Beside the young girl, a young man in luxurious clothes and holding a jade fan said,""The Spirit Stream Sect has been seizing the fortune of the Great Qin State for eight hundred years. It's long gone, and all that's left is a wasteland.”
"Let's not talk about the imperial court for now."
" Outside, the vassal kings have been nibbling away at the national strength of the Imperium and converting it into their own strength. Each of them is thousands of times stronger than the Imperium. They have long wanted to replace it!”
"Also, the surrounding empires are eyeing us covetously.”
"The bandits are rampant, and the empire has no hope!"
"The only thing maintaining it is the Imperial Preceptor's Residence.”
"If the Spirit Stream Sect decides that it's no longer valuable, they won't hesitate to abandon it. When that happens, a pack of wolves will rise.”
"In the royal court, there are only a few old ministers who can help him. The rest are half-hearted people who bully their superiors and flatter their subordinates. They are all waiting for this empire to collapse and then join the new master!”
"As for the Spirit Stream Sect, although they're a titan of the eastern domain, they're not the only titan there!”
……
There were too many problems in the empire.
The illness was beyond cure, and it had reached the bone marrow!
Every single one of them could crush it!
Those who could hold it up were either celestials or gods!
"He's so pitiful!"
The young girl frowned slightly.
"Even if you know that you will be crushed into pieces, you must still live to wait and face it!”
"He's about the same age as me."
"He is carrying an empire on his shoulders.”
"I still have to work hard to make some futile changes.”
"This strong will, let alone my sister, even I am ashamed of myself.”
"However, this empire has no way out. This is his fate!”
the young man said slowly.
The pain they had to endure was enough to crush anyone's will.
Don't even think about dealing with it. How many people had the courage to do so?
"This empire has no way out!"
The Luo Family Head looked at Yu Xuanji and praised," It seems that your Yu Family has trained many talents!”
Yu Xuanji smiled but didn't say anything.
However, he was very happy.
"By the way, is the Merchant Union planning to leave the Imperial City?”
The Luo Family Head asked.
Yu Xuanji said," I don't have such plans for now. The rise and fall of the empire will not affect the Yu Family Business Alliance!”
