Myriad Realms Summoning System

Xiao Chen, accompanied by his personal bodyguard Li Yuanba, arrived outside the hall surrounded by a large number of officials.

At this time, Yan Qing was leading his army to detain late-coming court officials at the bottom of the stone steps.

The late official, who was originally full of anger and was arguing with Yan Qing, saw Xiao Chen coming out and immediately yelled at him like a creditor who found his debtor.

"Emperor, what do you mean? Why did you send these people to arrest me? What did I do wrong?"

"Emperor, you have just ascended the throne and you have already slaughtered ministers and eliminated dissidents. Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Great Zhou royal family?"

"My fellow officers, are you just going to watch this little emperor slaughter his court officials? Look, the front of the throne room is stained red with blood!"

Before these officials arrived at the Golden Palace, they saw officials being escorted out of the hall and executed in front of the hall. They were immediately angry and panicked.

Unfortunately, the officials who followed Xiao Chen out avoided their gazes and did not look at them.

Looking at these court officials who behaved with great righteousness, Xiao Chen just felt amused.

If Xiao Chen didn't know the background of these people, he might really think that they were loyal ministers. It was really touching to see them not fearing power and giving righteous advice.

Xiao Chen waved his hand, and Yan Qing's soldiers stopped capturing these officials, but still surrounded them.

"Humph, at least you can recognize the situation."

The Minister of Justice Guo Congjian straightened his clothes, looked up at Xiao Chen with a proud expression and said.

"Emperor, can we go in now? Please get these people out of the way."

An old man with gray hair hunched over and tremblingly said, "This is the Minister of Rites Feng Wei, who is also one of the most senior people in the court."

However, Xiao Chen did not let them go as they thought. Instead, he stood on the steps with an inexplicable expression, looking down at everyone and said, "My lords, do you know what crime you have committed?"

This question made Feng Wei and others feel a little puzzled.

Today is your first court meeting. What crime could we have committed?

"I would like to ask, Your Majesty, what crime have we committed?" Guo Congjian asked with a sneer.

Xiao Chen did not answer, but asked Shen Changwen who was following him: "Master Shen, tell me, what crime did they commit?"

Shen Changwen was a little confused by Xiao Chen's sudden question.

I didn't do anything! How can I be implicated in this?

However, he was also frightened by Xiao Chen's previous killing ruthlessness and did not have the courage to answer.

Otherwise, I don’t know what accusation will be put on me?

He walked to Xiao Chen's side with his head held high and said, "Your Majesty, I think, I think, they should have committed the crime of delay, right?"

"delay?"

An absurd thought flashed through Guo Congjian's mind. Can this be considered a crime?

"Your Majesty, since we are all guilty of delay, I apologize to you here and ask for your forgiveness."

Although he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's arbitrary conviction, he had to bow his head under someone's roof, so he might as well accommodate him for now.

Guo Congjian felt that being able to apologize to Xiao Chen was already giving him enough face.

"We are late, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The other late court officials bowed and apologized to Xiao Chen in a pretentious manner.

"Forgive me?"

Xiao Chen sneered and said to Yan Qing: "Xiao Yi, all these traitors who disobeyed my order will be executed on the spot."

What? You're going to kill someone?

Guo Congjian was extremely shocked. He looked up and shouted angrily, "Emperor, what do you mean? There is no law in the Great Zhou that stipulates that being late will be punished by death. You are making up a crime on whim. I don't accept it!"

Feng Wei also protested: "Emperor, just because of this little thing, you want to execute all of us. This is the act of a tyrant. How can you convince the people!"

"My Lords, please speak up! We cannot let the emperor do whatever he wants, otherwise what rules will there be in the Great Zhou?"

However, what made them despair was that these courtiers, who usually played tricks of working with them to oppose the emperor, all lowered their heads, and no one stood up to defend them.

Even Shen Changwen stood back in the ranks of court officials, avoiding their sight and not looking at them.

"The laws of the Great Zhou? Do you still know the laws of the Great Zhou?"

At this time, Xiao Chen's cold voice sounded, attracting the attention of all the court officials.

"Minister Guo, do you know what the crime of disobeying an imperial order is under the laws of the Great Zhou?"

Xiao Chen stood on the steps, looking down at Guo Congjian with a cold expression.

"Anyone who disobeys an imperial order shall be put to death! But when have we ever disobeyed an imperial order?" Guo Congjian stared at Xiao Chen and asked with gritted teeth.

Other late officials also stared at Xiao Chen angrily.

Xiao Chen said calmly, "I said yesterday that anyone who is absent or late for the morning court today will be killed without mercy. Why, don't my words count as an imperial decree?"

"you……"

Guo Congjian wanted to argue, but found that whatever he said now seemed pale and powerless. Xiao Chen clearly wanted to kill them.

Feng Wei said with a sad face: "Emperor, I have seen clearly, what is disobeying the order, what is lateness, you are determined to kill us, the charges are not important."

Xiao Chen didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

So what if you admit it? The road to becoming an emperor is paved with countless bones.

Every emperor who comes to power kills countless people and has his hands stained with blood, and Xiao Chen is no exception.

He waved his hand, and Yan Qing and his soldiers immediately began to massacre the court officials.

"Ah! Xiao Chen, you will die a horrible death!"

"Xiao Chen! I curse you to die without a complete body!"

"Xiao Chen! You tyrant!"

The court minister, knowing that he had no way out, completely dropped his disguise and shouted at Xiao Chen loudly.

However, the shouting and cursing were soon drowned out by the screams. Although these civil servants had some cultivation, they were only martial artists and soldiers.

Relying on Yan Qing's strength and the assistance of Zhang Liao and others, twenty or thirty court officials were slaughtered in just a few breaths.

The blood dyed the entire stone staircase red.

The disgusting smell of blood filled the air and lingered for a long time.

The gate of the majestic Golden Throne Hall became the execution ground.

The bodies of dozens of ministers were scattered all over the ground, which was chilling to the sight.

The surviving ministers looked at Xiao Chen's not-so-tall back and felt an unprecedented sense of fear in their hearts.

This iron-blooded and cruel young man has broken their inherent perception of the emperor.

"From today on, the highest rule of the Great Zhou law, the words of the emperor, overrides everything else!"

"Today, I have issued an order to kill five people. I hope all my officials will take good care of themselves!"

"Those who disobey the emperor and disobey his orders will be killed!"

"Those who neglect their duties and pretend to obey but actually disobey will be killed!"

"Those who form cliques for personal gain and disrupt government affairs shall be killed!"

"Those who oppress the people and are corrupt should be killed!"

"Those who plot treason and collude with the enemy will be killed!"

"This order of five kills, please keep it in mind, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Xiao Chen's cold voice floated over the imperial palace, and all the officials had an additional thought in their minds.

The world of the Great Zhou is really about to change completely.
