Chapter 267
After Situ Minglie had a plan in mind, he told the secret guard to lead people to observe Baili Chenfeng and Huanmo in secret, and to report to him immediately if there was any trouble.

The hidden guard led away, and Situ Minglie left the Zuoxiang mansion and got on a carriage to set off for the palace. Mingtian and Xu Anyang rode on horseback and entered the palace with him.

After entering the palace, Situ Minglie first went to the Chengde Palace to visit Emperor Yuan, and saw that his complexion had gradually improved, so he went to the Chaolong Palace in the early court with peace of mind.

On the Chaolong Palace, all the courtiers had been waiting there early. After Situ Minglie entered, he sat on the dragon chair in a kingly demeanor, looking down with contemptuous eyes. Since he entered, he stood in line , bowed his head, respectful civil and military officials.

Xiao Dezi, the re-elected chief executive, stood beside the dragon chair. Seeing Situ Ming lotus, he just glanced at the courtiers below. A premonition of changing circumstances.

Xiao Dezi has always known that his little master has always been different from the current emperor. Compared with the emperor, the little master's methods are more decisive and extremely ruthless.

When the former second prince in the prison rebelled against his superiors, many ministers here and there supported him, and the young master must have known about it.Now that the young master's son is ruling the court on behalf of the emperor, those courtiers who supported the second prince in the past will be in danger!But he would not sympathize with them at all, instead he felt that they deserved it, who told them to support that white-eyed wolf second prince!

Situ Minglie sat on the dragon chair and kept silent. All the civil and military officials below seemed to have taken dumb medicine. Except for Li Xing, Xu Rong and Xu Anyang who looked calm, the others stopped talking. He didn't even dare to breathe.

After glancing at them, Situ Minglie sneered: "What? Don't dare to speak at this time? Don't you have anything to say?"

Some ministers shrank when they heard Situ Minglie's icy cold words, a chill appeared behind their backs, wishing there was a hole in the ground to hide themselves in.

The atmosphere above the main hall was extremely heavy, as if everyone's back could not stand upright. Suddenly, a group of imperial guards with swords poured in from outside the main hall, surrounded all civil and military officials, and some ministers were frightened. Everything has changed.

Only Situ Minglie, Xu Rong and his son, and Li Xing looked calm, not paying any attention to the imperial guards who broke in suddenly.

The commander of the Imperial Guard was replaced after Situ Chenhao's downfall, Huang Zhenzhong, who had recovered from his serious injury.

At this time, Huang Zhenzhong, dressed in the armor of the imperial guards, walked in majesticly from outside the hall, holding a stack of booklets in his hand. The booklet was as high as a finger. Some ministers saw the familiar color of the booklet Suddenly, their complexions changed one after another, becoming as white as wax paper.

Huang Zhenzhong walked to the middle of the hall with the booklet in his hands, bowed his head and bowed respectfully to Situ Minglie, and then said: "Report to His Royal Highness, I have already done what Your Highness ordered me to do."

"Well, well done! All the imperial guards who participated in this operation will be rewarded!" Situ Minglie nodded slightly, and glanced at Xiao Dezi.

Xiao Dezi understood immediately, bowed to Situ Minglie, then ran down from above, came to Huang Zhenzhong, took the stack of booklets in his hand, and then returned to Situ Minglie's side, The stack of booklets was respectfully presented to Situ Minglie.

Situ Minglie took the stack of booklets and flipped through them one by one.As he flipped, his face became colder and colder, and a trace of chill was blowing on the ministers who had changed their faces like a cold winter wind. The great silence in the hall at this time reminded me of an empty room.

There was a loud "snap", and the stack of booklets that Situ Minglie was holding in his hand to flip through was slammed onto the sapphire floor by him.

The sound was so abrupt, like a stone suddenly fell into the originally calm lake, causing ripples.

Those civil and military officials were startled by the sound, and glanced at Situ Minglie, who had a livid face above the dragon chair, and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to speculate on his thoughts at the moment.

And some ministers have almost guessed what will happen next, and want to escape but have nowhere to escape.

"It's really good! Good! Some of you really impress me, even if you say you're surprised!" Situ Minglie's words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and the gnashing of teeth meant that Like a cheetah ready to go, the hearts of the courtiers below are as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat.

"Huang Zhenzhong, this king orders you to arrest all the owners of these booklets, drag them out and stick them to death!" Situ Minglie said that if he didn't move, his whole body would be aroused.

"Follow your orders!" Huang Zhenzhong bowed his hands and made a gesture to the imperial guards on both sides of the main hall, and those imperial guards took out the Minister of Rites, Minister of Officials, Minister of Punishment, Minister of Dali Temple, Qin Tianjian, etc. More than 20 officials from the fifth rank and above were arrested. Immediately, begging for mercy and protests filled the hall. Curious what was written in those pamphlets.

The more than 20 officials were escorted back by the imperial guards, and they were about to be escorted out of the main hall, under the supervision of Huang Zhenzhong, to carry out the order Situ Minglie had just issued to be killed with a stick.

Qin Tianjian's supervisor Zhou Zijun resisted while being escorted out, turned around and shouted, "His Royal Highness, I have been wronged, I have been wronged, Your Highness, please listen to the old minister's words!"

"Hmph! Injustice? What an injustice! If you want to die clearly, I don't mind telling you the reason before you die! Bring them back!" Situ Minglie narrowed his eyes dangerously when he heard Zhou Zijun's cry of injustice .

The imperial guards took orders and escorted the more than 20 officials back to the main hall, where they knelt in the middle of the main hall.

Situ Minglie picked up a book from the booklet he threw on the floor just now, then opened the booklet, and read one of the contents recorded in the booklet.

"In the winter of Yuankang year, take [-] taels of gold from the second prince, and help him eliminate the opposing officials and consolidate the throne!" Situ Minglie read slowly, with a calm face, but his eyes became more captivating.

And Zhou Zijun, who was still screaming for injustice just now, heard what Situ Minglie read, his face was pale, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead bit by bit.

Situ Minglie looked at Zhou Zijun evilly from the corner of his mouth, but his voice was not as cold as before, but became gentle: "Master Zhou, I think Mr. Zhou should be very clear about what this king read just now! If you don't know , I will let you see clearly!"

His last words were harsh, and as his words fell, the booklet in his hand was swung from above to Zhou Zijun with his movements, and hit him in the face accurately, leaving an obvious scar on his face. Red mark!
