Myriad Realms Summoning System
Chapter Summary
Xiao Chen said leisurely: "Get up, I forgive you, you have done very well." Then he turned his gaze to the dumbfounded civil and military officials in the court and said in a cold voice: "I am the emperor, my words are the imperial decree, I want to kill anyone who dares to resist, no matter where they are, I will kill them on the spot!" The cold words frightened all the officials in the court so much that they dared not even breathe. Your Majesty, I acknowledge my crime!" … When these generals ...
Blood flowed quietly in the magnificent Golden Throne Hall. The coldness of the blood spread in all directions, making people feel cold all over.
The generals who rose up to resist Xiao Chen forgot to resist for a moment when they saw Zhai Linfeng's body falling to the ground without his head.
"I am incompetent and have allowed the Golden Palace to be stained with blood. Please punish me, Your Majesty," Zhang Liao said in a deep voice while kneeling on one knee.
Xiao Chen said leisurely: "Get up, I forgive you, you have done very well."
Then he turned his gaze to the dumbfounded civil and military officials in the court and said in a cold voice: "I am the emperor, my words are the imperial decree, I want to kill anyone who dares to resist, no matter where they are, I will kill them on the spot!"
The cold words frightened all the officials in the court so much that they dared not even breathe. They had never seen such cruelty in Xiao Jing and Xiao Tianci.
Perhaps because they had lived in comfort for too long, they were not really afraid of Xiao Chen deep down in their hearts.
Although they have behaved very strongly since he reappeared, their ideas have not changed. This comes from their bones.
But today, Xiao Chen taught them a lesson. He was different from all the previous emperors.
"Chengdu, drag these rebellious people out and chop them off!"
Xiao Chen looked at the other generals and said expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty, spare my life! I will never dare to do it again."
"Please spare my life! Your Majesty, I acknowledge my crime!"
…
When these generals saw Zhai Linfeng being killed, they completely gave up resistance and kept wailing and begging for mercy, hoping that Xiao Chen would let them go.
However, Xiao Chen did not say anything else, and they were dragged out of the hall by Yuwen Chengdu.
"ah……"
"ah……"
Soon, several wailing sounds were heard from outside, and the officials in the hall trembled in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, those military commanders who caused the rebellion have been killed by me."
Yuwen Chengdu returned to the hall with a grin. There was still a little blood on his body, and his weird smile made him look a little hideous.
At this moment, Yuwen Chengdu seemed like a bloodthirsty devil returning from hell.
"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Chen nodded to him gently, and then Yuwen Chengdu stood back in his original position.
"Shen Yun, you are the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple. Generals of the Imperial Guards have been killed one after another, but you still can't solve the case. Do you know your crime?"
Xiao Chen killed all the generals on the list in just one round, so he turned his attention to the civil service group.
The first person he wanted to deal with was the Shen family’s important chess piece in the court, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, Shen Yun.
If Zhai Linfeng was killed before because of his own fault, then Shen Yun now felt that he was really wronged.
Why were the imperial guards killed? Who killed them? Don't you, the emperor, have any idea?
It's clearly the thief crying "stop thief"!
However, he couldn't point it out directly because he had no evidence, and he might even be charged with the serious crime of slandering the emperor.
Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, I have already found out that the person who assassinated the Imperial Guards general was assigned an assassination mission by the Assassin's Guild. Therefore, Your Majesty only needs to interrogate the president of the Assassin's Guild and you will get the answer."
It is impossible to interrogate the president of the Assassin's Guild. Not to mention whether we have the ability to interrogate him, even if we can, we can't shoot ourselves in the foot.
Therefore, Xiao Chen pretended to be angry and said, "How dare you, Shen Yun, shirk your responsibility? You clearly know that the Assassin's Guild has a special status, but you still encouraged me to provoke it. You really deserve to be killed."
"Shen Yun, first he neglected his duty, then he deceived the emperor. If he is not killed, it will not be enough to appease the public anger. Zhang Liao, drag this treacherous minister out and chop him off!"
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! Everything I said is true. You cannot kill me without verification!"
Shen Yun immediately cried out for justice, and at the same time he turned his attention to the officials with whom he was on good terms, hoping that they could speak for him.
Unfortunately, what made him despair was that after the incident in which Xiao Chen killed Zhai Linfeng, no minister dared to come forward to plead for Shen Yun.
Shen Changwen and Shen Yun were both from the side branches of the Shen family, and they couldn't bear to see each other being killed.
He wanted to stand up and plead for mercy, but in the end he sighed heavily and gave up.
He couldn't possibly throw away his life for Shen Yun. After all, he had been away from the Shen family for a long time and was no longer considered a member of the Shen family.
"You, dog emperor, will not have a good death!"
"You tyrant, the Great Zhou will perish in your hands sooner or later!"
"Bastard emperor! Incompetent ruler! Tyrant!"
Seeing that he had no way to survive, Shen Yun simply cursed Xiao Chen loudly in the court.
However, Xiao Chen turned a deaf ear to it and didn't even show any emotion.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Zhang Liao dragged the other person out of the hall.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple was killed just like that.
"Guo Yi, as the Minister of Rites..."
"Shen Hong, as the Minister of Industry..."
"Feng Zhu, as a doctor of the Water Department..."
…
Xiao Chen called out the names one by one without any emotion in his voice, which made the hairs of the people who heard him stand on end.
He was like a judge from hell. Every time he called out a name, a life would be lost.
Zhang Liao, Yuwen Chengdu, Li Cunxiao and others, with their soldiers, followed Xiao Chen's voice and went in and out of the Golden Palace, taking several officials with them every time they went out.
Without exception, these officials left the hall and never returned.
The front of the hall was completely stained red with blood, and the officials in the hall looked pale, fearing that their names would be called out by Xiao Chen.
Finally, after killing more than thirty court officials, Xiao Chen stopped killing.
This made all the court officials in the hall breathe a sigh of relief. They gently wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. Their backs were completely soaked with sweat.
In just that few minutes, they felt like they had spent a whole year. This is what it means to spend a day like a year.
And now, they are extremely grateful in their hearts because they have escaped from the gates of hell.
"What are you doing? Why are you arresting us?"
"How outrageous! Do you know who I am? Who gave you the authority to arrest people without permission?"
"This is simply rebellious! Let me go! I want to see the emperor. I want to ask him what crime we have committed and why he arrested us."
Just when the court officials in the hall were rejoicing that they could finally have some peace and quiet, the noise outside the hall made their hearts skip a beat.
The late officials finally arrived, but it seemed like they came at a very bad time.
"Everyone, do you want to know what I will do with these officials who are late?"
Xiao Chen's cold voice rang out in the hall, causing the officials to raise their heads and look at him.
Xiao Chen raised a smile, then stood up and said, "Come on, let's go out and see who these guys who disobeyed the imperial decree are."
Disobey the imperial decree?
This is a direct death sentence!
The officials began to observe a moment of silence for their colleagues who had rushed over from outside the hall.
