No one expected that Xiao Chen would come to the Golden Palace so early.

"Attend Your Majesty!"

Seeing Xiao Chen walk into the hall, Zhang Liao and other generals knelt down first.

Although the other officials were reluctant, they did not dare to touch the tiger's whiskers at this time. They all knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty!"

Xiao Chen sat high on the dragon throne and glanced at the ministers kneeling below.

The number of this group of ministers is less than half of the number of officials who need to attend court today.

As for the people on the list that Di Renjie gave him, there were only three of them, and they were all military generals.

It seems that Di Renjie's prediction was correct!

"Everyone, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers stood up and took the seats where they used to stand during court sessions, and then began to carefully look at the newly enthroned emperor.

They discovered that Xiao Chen, who sat on a high position, was indeed very different from the useless prince when he first left Luo City.

Today's Xiao Chen has shed his former immaturity and cowardice, and has become confident and domineering, with a strong aura of a king.

"Yan Zian, go to the entrance of the main hall and set up an hourglass for half an hour. After the hourglass runs out, write down all the officials who are not present," Xiao Chen said to Yan Zian.

"Yes, I will do it right away," Yan Zian, who was standing beside the throne serving Xiao Chen, replied hurriedly.

"Yan Qing, lead a team of soldiers to guard the main hall. Capture all the officials who are late!"

"yes!"

Yan Qing bowed and strode out of the Golden Palace.

After saying these words, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and sat on the dragon chair to rest.

But the ministers became nervous. It seemed that Xiao Chen was going to establish his authority today.

Tick!

An hourglass stood at the entrance of the Golden Palace, and grains of sand slowly flowed down, making the officials in the court feel nervous.

They glanced at the officials from the same dynasty who usually stood beside them, but now there was no one there, and they began to feel sad for them.

I'm afraid they are too arrogant today.

Half an hour passed quickly, and when the sand in the hourglass ran out, Xiao Chen opened his eyes.

At this time, there were many more officials in the court, but the number of people attending court normally was still one-third less.

And most of this one third appeared on the list provided by Di Renjie.

Do these noble families really want to intimidate me?

But they thought too simply, Xiao Chen sneered.

"Now, the court meeting begins," Xiao Chen said directly without waiting for the late officials.

All the officials straightened their bodies and turned their attention to Xiao Chen.

"Zhai Linfeng, let me ask you, the Xianglong Kingdom invaded our Great Zhou, and you, as the Grand Marshal of the Army, did not resist at all. Do you have anything to say?"

The first person Xiao Chen wanted to attack was Zhai Linfeng, who was Xiao Tianci's confidant.

When Zhai Linfeng heard what Xiao Chen said, his body trembled, and he knelt on the ground in a hurry, crying bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! It's not that I didn't send troops to rescue, it's really that the traitor Xiao Tianci didn't give me military power, and I was powerless!"

Originally Xiao Chen thought that Zhai Linfeng was Xiao Tianci's confidant and a military general, so he might be a little tougher, but he didn't expect that he was actually a coward.

Not only did he not stand up, but he put all the blame on the dead Xiao Tianci.

I really don’t know how this person became Xiao Tianci’s confidant and how he became the commander-in-chief of the army.

However, Xiao Chen would not let him go just because of this. He had to kill some people.

Xiao Chen snorted coldly at him and said, "Zhai Linfeng, you first attached yourself to the traitor Xiao Tianci, and then indirectly harmed tens of thousands of my Great Zhou soldiers. You deserve to be put to death. Today, I will sentence you to death, and it will be executed immediately."

Zhai Linfeng was dumbfounded. All the excuses he had prepared were of no use at all. Xiao Chen actually wanted to kill him directly.

"I am wronged! Please spare my life, Your Majesty. I am willing to resign and return home, and never set foot in the court again. Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Zhai Linfeng knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, but Xiao Chen did not show any mercy.

"Zhang Liao, drag Zhai Linfeng out and behead him in public. No mistakes!"

"I obey your command," Zhang Liao said with a bow, then dragged Zhai Linfeng with one hand and was about to execute him outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, although General Zhai is guilty, his circumstances are extenuating. Please spare his life."

"Yes, Your Majesty, General Zhai has served in the army for decades. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. I hope Your Majesty will spare his life and allow him to resign."

"Your Majesty, the Grand Marshal is guilty, but his crime does not deserve death! If Your Majesty really wants to kill him, please kill us too!"

"Your Majesty, please spare Marshal Zhai's life."

Seeing that Zhang Liao was about to drag Zhai Linfeng out and behead him, all the generals lost their composure.

Zhai Linfeng is the leader of the military generals. If he is killed so casually, how can these military generals still have a good life?

Stop it! It must be stopped!

Nearly one-third of the generals in the court jumped out at the same time, kneeling on the ground and begging Xiao Chen to spare Zhai Linfeng's life.

If it were any other emperor, faced with the pleas of so many generals, he might have given in, but Xiao Chen was different.

He had come here today to establish his authority, and he even hoped that these generals would jump out. Otherwise, he would have to find an excuse to kill someone, which would be very troublesome.

"You want to die with Zhai Linfeng? Great! Then I will grant your wish."

"Chengdu, drag out those who want to die with Marshal Zhai and chop them all off together, so that their dreams can come true."

hiss!

Both the civil officials and the military generals who did not jump out gasped.

There are more than 20 generals here! None of them is below the fifth rank. How can they be killed just like that?

Only Shen Changwen cursed inwardly: Idiot.

It's already this late, and you still can't see the situation clearly? Why are you still killing them together?

You are in high positions and have great power, but you are not generals leading troops outside. If you do not shoulder the responsibility of border defense, you are of no use at all.

Now that all the military power in Luocheng has fallen into the hands of the new emperor, there is no burden at all in killing you.

"Your Majesty, spare us! We are wrong. We don't want to die with the Grand Marshal."

"Your Majesty, I didn't say I would die with the Grand Marshal! Whoever said that, just kill him!"

Seeing Yuwen Chengdu and several soldiers walking towards them, these generals suddenly panicked. Only then did they realize that something was wrong!

Unfortunately, it was too late. Xiao Chen looked at these people coldly, without any intention of showing mercy.

When Zhai Linfeng saw this scene, he said ruthlessly, "Generals, this tyrant emperor will not let us go. We cannot just sit there and wait for death. Go ahead and kill the dog emperor!"

As soon as Zhai Linfeng finished speaking, the other generals reacted and prepared to take action.

Snap!

However, before they could take any action, Zhang Liao used the sickle in his hand to cut off Zhai Linfeng's head.

Zhai Linfeng, who was at the martial arts master level, didn't even have a chance to fight back in front of Zhang Liao.

The great head rolled in the hall.

The court officials just felt cold all over.

The kingdom's military commander-in-chief died just like that.
