Star Sea Hunter

Chapter 864 Scarlet Scepter

The Imperial Palace, Juntian Great Hall.

His Majesty the Emperor's first court meeting after he got out of trouble began.

All the officials and nobles who are qualified to participate in the Great Court Meeting have arrived on time, but compared with the last court meeting held before His Majesty's departure, the number of people is still a lot less!

For those people, there are only two outcomes: either they are dead, or they are already in prison!There is also a part, who followed the former Prime Minister Zhong Mingrui to the star field in the northwest of the empire, but there is no suspense about the fate of this group of people!

According to the practice of the major countries in the human world in the past, collusion with people or forces of other races has always been a dead end, and even the amnesty issued by His Majesty the Emperor does not apply to this crime!

Of course, are the ministers present here necessarily cleaner than those in prison?unknown!Maybe at the next court meeting, there will be a lot less people here!

Yun Tianyu on the jade steps looked at the officials in the palace. Most of them looked serious and kept their eyes straight, with a dignified look. As for what was going on in their hearts, only they could understand in their own hearts!

In the middle of the high platform, the emperor was still sitting in his own seat, his deep eyes were quietly gazing at the bottom of the jade steps, and there was no expression of joy or anger on his fair and handsome face.

Empress Xiao, who looked haggard, knelt below, dressed in a plain white dress, the demeanor of the former mother's world was gone.Behind her, from Patriarch Xiao Yulin to Xiao Wuji, as well as all the real power figures from the direct descendants of the Xiao family were present, adding up to hundreds of people.

The hall was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop on the ground.The ministers looked at the Xiao family members with hatred, pity, sarcasm, anger, and gloating in their eyes. Although they didn't say anything, they all knew in their hearts that this super family that was once prominent in the Xinghui Empire has already It's over!

"Xiao Muhan!" After a long silence, the emperor's voice finally sounded in the hall:

"Can you give me a satisfactory explanation for what the Xiao family has done during this period of time, the accusations against the Speaker of the House of Nobility, and the concubines in the harem?"

Hearing Yun Haoyu's voice, her body couldn't help trembling, she bit her lower lip, and replied sadly: "Your Majesty...the concubine has nothing to explain about all this!"

Yun Tianyu asked solemnly: "Then you admit that you have betrayed His Majesty and the Empire?"

"No, absolutely not!" Xiao Muhan's pretty face was pale, and she hurriedly argued:

"The concubine's crime is indeed unforgivable, but her heart towards His Majesty is always the same, and she never has the slightest intention of betrayal!"

On the left side of the high platform, the faces of the concubines who participated in the court meeting showed disdainful expressions. Fang Mengyan, who had just recovered from her serious injury, cursed in a low voice: "Damn it!"

Yun Haoyu looked down at the desk in front of him, and said calmly: "No betrayal? That's fine, since you still think so in your heart, then I will spend more time talking with you!"

"I ask you, how did Roland die?"

Xiao Muhan looked at his father who was kneeling behind him, hesitated for a moment and said: "This matter is... the work of the concubine's family."

"Who gave the order?"

"Yes...a concubine..." Before she could say anything, Xiao Wuji took a few steps forward, paused and said:

"Your Majesty, this matter is an order of the guilty minister, and the Queen did not know about it beforehand! So it has nothing to do with her!"

Xiao Muhan's face became paler, and tears flickered in the corners of his eyes.

Yun Haoyu said indifferently: "I didn't ask you!"

A palace guard next to him came over, slapped Xiao Wuji heavily on the face with his hands, and dragged him back to his original position.A few teeth were mixed with bright red blood, splashing down on the jade steps.

Xiao Yulin's lips moved, but seeing the emperor's cold eyes, she lowered her head in fear.

"I'll ask you again, when the second imperial daughter Yun Zhixia was full moon, among the rewards sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there were more than ten kinds of different complex biochemical poisons hidden in the three-flavored fruit, the clothes, jewelry, and various supplements used by the concubine Luo. , There are as many as twelve kinds of problems detected! All of them are rare and strange poisons, how do you explain this matter?"

Xiao Muhan felt bitter, the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued the rewards in the name of the empress, and she was naturally to blame for such things!Although it is true that she did not do this, but his father ordered Xiao Wenyue to do it secretly, but this responsibility cannot be shirked!

To put it in a small way, it means employing unknown persons, being lax, and being negligent; in a big way, it means murdering the blood of the royal family, which is an unforgivable felony in any dynasty!

Yun Haoyu flipped through the file in front of him, and continued to ask:

"The prime minister of the Gnasrock Empire came to visit the imperial capital. You signed a peace treaty with the enemy country without approval from the imperial cabinet and parliament. You actually agreed to the other party's marriage request, forced the eldest princess to marry outside, and even made your idea on the princess Yun Zhixia. body!"

"You did this to pave the way for your own child, right? You didn't even spare a baby who had just been born for this reason?"

Xiao Yulin finally couldn't bear it and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is all caused by the dog Xiao Wuji. The Empress was only coerced, not her own initiative! I hope Your Majesty will find out!"

Yun Haoyu gave her a cold look, and said, "Alright, let me trust you this time, then how did Luo Hanxing die?"

Xiao Muhan said in a low voice: "Marshal... was killed by the remnants of the former Salestine Alliance ordered by Randall!"

"Then what role did you play in it?" Yun Haoyu questioned, "You, or your family, not only made the best of the best, set up ambushes along the way, it is said that you also used a certain artifact to lock the whereabouts of the marshal! If you hadn't worked so hard, would the marshal have died in battle less than two thousand light-years away from the imperial capital?"

"..."

Luo Qingyue glared at her resentfully, stood up and bowed slightly to Yun Haoyu, saying: "I also ask Your Majesty to be the master for my concubine!"

"Of course, these things have to be settled one by one! No matter who it is, they have to pay the price for their actions!" Yun Haoyu nodded lightly, pointed to the file on the desk that was more than two feet thick and said:

"These things are all records of the many illegal behaviors of the Xiao family members in the imperial capital in the past few months, such as bullying men and women, plundering, swindling, and even colluding with foreign races, reselling all kinds of prohibited items, and all kinds of evil deeds. shocking!"

Yun Tianyu added: "Especially that Xiao Yizhen, who brought a sword into the palace, slept on the dragon bed, raped the palace maids, and killed the palace people at will if he didn't agree with him! Such a treasonous crime should be executed quickly! As the empress The master of the middle palace actually doesn't care about the evil deeds of his family members, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an accomplice!"

"But Xiao Yi, he... is dead, it was the eldest princess!" Xiao Yulin said boldly.

Yun Haoyu asked calmly, "Don't he deserve to die?"

Xiao Yulin shivered and dared not say anything more.

He sighed deeply: "There are still many, many crimes in it, but I am too lazy to ask one by one, including your rebellion! Ladies and gentlemen, you can tell the truth about the crimes of the Queen and the Xiao family. How should it be handled?"

Yun Tianyu immediately said: "Your Majesty, Empress Xiao's crime is unforgivable, she should be deprived of her title of empress immediately, and given death! The Xiao family plots to rebel and usurp the throne, and the whole family should be punished! To serve as an example!"

Crassus echoed: "His Royal Highness said very well, I have no objection!"

Yang Wentao said: "The laws of the empire cannot be violated, and the majesty of the royal family must be defended. Empress Xiao has already betrayed her majesty and the empire! There is nothing wrong with such a handling!"

Then, all the important ministers expressed their opinions one by one, and the opinions were surprisingly unanimous, and they all overwhelmingly agreed to execute and exterminate the family.

Xiao Muhan looked around in a daze, all the civil and military officials in the court, including those officials who were once attached to the Xiao family, as long as they could still stand in the hall, they all agreed with one voice to kill the Xiao family and give the empress to death, and no one pleaded for mercy.

Is this politics?In order to show her innocence, she spared no effort to pour all the sewage on her family, completely forgetting that not long ago, she was a guest of Xiao's family!

Forget it, I never imagined that I would end up with such a result, becoming the first empress of the Xinghui Empire to be bestowed to death!This honor really made her helpless!

All the ministers looked at the emperor on the throne, how to make a decision now depends on His Majesty's will!

Yun Haoyu lowered his eyes, just in time to meet the queen's eyes, looking at this woman who has always occupied an important position in his life, his heart was full of unspeakable melancholy, regret, disappointment, and anger.

The other party is the first woman in his life, and they have walked hand in hand for these years, this relationship is naturally not fake.But when he was most difficult in his life and needed support the most, the other party did not insist on continuing to stand by his side, but succumbed to his own selfishness, for which he acquiesced and even condoned all kinds of outrageous behaviors of his family!

No real man can tolerate the betrayal of his beloved woman, especially in this case, and he is no exception!Although the other party may have their own difficulties, but this is not a reason!

All the ministers were unanimous. Although the attitude of some of them made him very contemptuous, it still had an impact on his thinking that could not be ignored.

Yes, based on her behavior during this period of time, and her family's despicable and shameless behavior, it seems to be the most normal idea to make this family disappear completely!No matter which qualified monarch, there will be no other choice!

"Okay then! Since all the ministers think so..." Yun Haoyu was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

Immediately, an untimely voice suddenly sounded in the hall, interrupting the emperor's sentence: "Hold on, Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

He couldn't help being a little stunned. Looking at Yu Xinzhe who had stepped out of the sequence of generals, his eyebrows slowly furrowed, and his eyes became sharper.

Although the marshal was a little nervous, he still stood up without flinching.

"Yu Qing, do you have any different opinions?" Yun Haoyu lowered his head and looked at his fair and slender hands, his voice was still flat.

(Should the queen be dead?

ps: This one is late, sorry, today is still the third update! )
