80 -80: Something’s Wrong

As for where the other one went, naturally, we have to ask Lin Yi.

That Luminous Pearl is currently being used as a candle in his room.

And upon seeing these chests appear, everyone’s attention was naturally drawn.

“Open them for my dear officials to see.”

Following the young Emperor’s voice, someone immediately opened them one by one.

As the items inside were taken out one by one, there was immediately a series of gasps from the audience.

Those initial treasures weren’t much; who among those present didn’t have a few of them at home?

What truly shocked them was the Jade Seal and that golden garment in the last chest!

Indeed, the item taken out of that last chest was none other than a golden Dragon Robe just like the one the young Emperor was currently wearing!

With the appearance of these two items, not to mention the Civil and Military Officials, even the two Princes who had not spoken earlier could not help but furrow their brows tightly together.

Nobody could have ever imagined that Chen Baicheng would be so audacious!

Whether it was greed for wealth or seizing power, even if these were crimes, they weren’t too grave.

After all, this was a tacit understanding among those present.

But what should not be done is trying to lay hands on a position that should never be aspired to!

This was not only forbidden by the young Emperor, but even Chen Baicheng’s master behind him would absolutely not allow it.

At this moment, Mr.

Lu, the one who first confronted the young Emperor, was the first to feel embarrassed.

Looking at these items, he knew in his heart that today, there was absolutely no way to save Chen Baicheng.

Especially when he glanced at the Fourth Prince and saw his somber expression, he knew that Chen Baicheng was certain to be abandoned.

Just as he was looking for an excuse to withdraw, the young Emperor above suddenly spoke up.

And his words were directed toward him.

“Mr.

Lu, look closely.

Tell me, what are these items?”

“This… this, this old official was deceived by this traitorous villain.”

Bang!

Just as this old fellow tried to deflect, he suddenly saw the young Emperor slap the table in front of him.

Immediately there was a loud bang, startling everyone present.

At the same time, everyone was stunned.

They looked incredulously toward the young Emperor at the head.

They couldn’t believe whether they had seen wrong.

The always timid young Emperor actually slammed the table?

How could this be possible?

The two Princes furrowed their brows even more, eyeing this nephew Emperor, trying to see what he was up to.

It can be said that with these two items being brought out, it directly made it impossible for those he had prepared to stand up and speak.

It can also be said that this caught him off guard.

Because of this, the heart of the Fourth Prince was also filled with anger.

He didn’t know why he hadn’t received any news about such a big matter.

Could it be that his own men planted inside the Right Martial Guard had been removed?

“Hmph, what a great case of being deceived by a traitorous villain.

Let me ask you,

if Chen Baicheng’s actions warrant his arrest, would there be any inappropriateness?

Wasn’t Chen Baicheng initially recommended by your Ministry of War?”

“Have you in the Ministry of War noticed what Chen Baicheng has been doing?

Or rather, was the Ministry of War involved in Chen Baicheng’s rebellion?”

Four consecutive questions directly rendered the Minister of War speechless.

Muttering incoherently, he could not come up with an answer.

His gaze quickly turned to Fourth Prince, filled with a plea for help.

After all, the young Emperor had appeared too weak over the years, leading them to believe that dealing with the young Emperor would require no preparation.

Thus, they found themselves speechless under the young Emperor’s pressing questions.

“Your Majesty, I never imagined Chen Baicheng could do such things; he truly deserves to die.

I implore you to execute him immediately and decisively!”

Just as the young Emperor’s gaze was fixed on the Minister of War, Fourth Prince finally stood up.

Although it was possible to disrespect the young Emperor on normal days, one could not go too far in court.

After all, Sixth Prince was watching eagerly from nearby.

And with Chen Baicheng evidently doomed, he must not let the Minister of War be implicated further.

Thus, he stood out deliberately to shift the topic.

“Heh, this old man is really anxious, just starting and he couldn’t wait to jump out.

But this does not affect dealing with the Minister of War.

Now, just hoping the young Emperor can remain firm and not lose composure, and simply continue pressing the Minister of War.

After dealing with the Minister of War, establishing authority in the court would be much easier.

Then, making Fourth Prince have to give up the Right Martial Guard to defend the Minister of War becomes crucial.”

Lin Yi’s thoughts were clear to the young Emperor.

Initially flustered by Fourth Imperial Uncle’s sudden interjection, the young Emperor steadied himself again.

He clenched his fists secretly and then turned his gaze to Fourth Prince:

“Fourth Imperial Uncle speaks wisely; Chen Baicheng’s crimes are unforgivable.

I have decided to punish him for his conspiracy.

His family up to three generations will be executed as a warning to others!”

Following these words, there was immediately a sharp intake of breath.

And at the front among the generals, the brawny man clenched his fists tightly inside his sleeves.

Though his face remained expressionless, his heart was incredibly stirred!

As Fourth Prince was about to speak, the young Emperor’s voice rang out again:

“Apart from Chen Baicheng, the Ministry of War is also guilty of poor judgment, improper employments, and lax supervision, and must be punished!”

At this point, the young Emperor stopped speaking and coldly turned his gaze to Chief Lu.

This momentarily stunned Fourth Prince, who had intended to propose a new candidate for the Right Martial Guard Commander.

It caught him completely off-guard.

Somewhat incredulously, he glanced up at the young Emperor, who seemed like a changed person, and an unexplainable chill ran down his spine.

What does it mean?

Could the young Emperor not only want to take down the Right Martial Guard but also take over the Ministry of War altogether?

Isn’t that too ambitious?

“Your Majesty, Chen Baicheng’s punishment is justified, not to mention that the Right Martial Guard is actually under Your Majesty’s personal army.

Therefore, the Ministry of War’s failure to detect this in time is somewhat understandable.”

Following Fourth Prince’s reasoning, he was trying to excuse the Ministry of War.

But as soon as he spoke, he suddenly felt something was amiss.
