"In order to avoid suspicion, Pang Xie's troops were not on duty at the palace that day. He just bribed a few guards to set fire to the palace. However, after the fire in the palace, Pang Xie led a large number of troops directly to the palace, in the name of entering the palace to save the people. The imperial city

The guards refused, and in the end Pang Xie took his place and besieged the palace."

"In the end, I ordered the other three imperial guards to dispatch and suppress Pang Xie. Now that Pang Xie has been imprisoned, you may not think that all this was planned by my son, the eighth prince Song Zhe."

After the emperor said these words, he suddenly sank into a deep depression. He seemed to have no strength to get angry.

Qin could see that the emperor was sad at this moment.

The emperor didn't speak, so Qin Guan and Li Chaoen stayed with him in a daze. In fact, it was useless to persuade people now, so it was better to accompany him silently.

After a while, the emperor said leisurely: "Qin Guan, I think the atmosphere in the court should change now. I want to move some people. If it was before, I could only act little by little and cautiously, but now

With you here, I can be bolder."

"I need your support!" The emperor looked at Qin Guan and said.

Qin Guan's face turned serious: "Your Majesty, no matter what decision you make, I will support you, and I promise you that if anyone dares to disobey, I will kill them."

The emperor smiled. This was the first time Qin Guan saw the emperor smile after entering the palace.

The emperor has issued a decree to hold a court meeting tomorrow.

Originally, it wasn't the day for the imperial meeting, but he couldn't wait any longer.

After receiving this decree, many people were beating in their hearts, and many people were trembling with fear. What should come will eventually come. King Yan returned to the capital, and the emperor had the backbone. He was ready to take action, but he didn't know how many people would be involved.

That night, many people couldn't sleep all night.

Qin Guan stayed in the imperial city without leaving the palace at night. Even Qin Guan's thousand guards were left behind in the palace.

Regardless of whether people want it or not, time will never stop for a second, and the sun will still rise the next day.

People put on court clothes and came to the entrance of the palace to prepare for the court meeting. In the past, colleagues would gather together to chat, but today these officials stood there one by one. No one chatted or whispered to each other. They all waited in silence.

The palace opens its doors.

Because they don’t know if they talk to the person next to them and go to court later, whether this person will be found out, and then they will be implicated because of being close to him.

The palace gate creaked open, revealing a long corridor.

People started to enter one after another.

The road that was familiar in the past felt a bit more chilling today. People looked around and noticed the difference. It turned out that the Imperial Guards guarding this road were not the original Imperial Guards with iron helmets and armor holding iron guns.

Wearing gray armor, holding firearms, and with cold and murderous expressions, everyone knew that these soldiers were the "King of Yan's Army" and the guards of King Qin Guan of Yan. Being stared at by the eyes of these guards, these adults felt chills all over.

Entering the main hall, people discovered that His Majesty the Emperor, who was supposed to arrive last, was already sitting on the dragon chair, and standing below was a person, King Qin Guan of Yan, who was wearing a purple dragon robe.

The emperor glanced at the officials who came in, his face expressionless.

The officials found their positions and stood at attention, not daring to move casually.

"Today's great court meeting, may all the ministers have a memorial?" The emperor's cold voice echoed in the golden palace.

None of the courtiers spoke, they all stood silently, because they knew that there was only one protagonist today, and that was His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the throne.

"Since you don't have this memorial, let me tell you a few things. Zeng Yu, I remember that you are already seventy-three this year."

Zeng Yu quickly stepped out of the queue and said, "Your Majesty, I am indeed seventy-three years old."

"I remember that you have been Prime Minister for more than ten years. You have really worked hard these years." The emperor seemed to be encouraging, but his tone was indifferent. No one could hear the closeness, and Zeng Yu felt that the air was empty.

Depressed.

Suddenly, the emperor's tone increased and he said: "Zeng Yu has made great contributions to the imperial court and has made great contributions to his hard work. He is specially ordered to retire and return to his hometown to take care of himself. He is also given the title of Kaifu Yitong and the Third Division."

Everyone in the Golden Palace was shocked.

The emperor started to take action, and the first move was to cut down the largest tree in the court.

Zeng Yu had been prime minister for more than ten years and had cultivated a large number of cronies. His power in the court was so huge that even the emperor had to think twice about touching him. But now, because of King Qin Guan of Yan, the emperor dared to take Zeng Yu directly.

Zeng Yu knew that this time was irreversible. He held the jade plate in both hands and bowed tremblingly to the emperor, "Old minister, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your consideration for me. I have long wanted to retire and return to my hometown, and now I have just fulfilled my wish."

The emperor looked at the old Zeng Yu. After all, Zeng Yu had assisted him for more than ten years, and the two still had some feelings for each other. The emperor said: "When you choose a retirement place, I will send the Ministry of Industry to build a house for you.

I accept your royal standards."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zeng Yu thanked him again.

After Zeng Yu retreated, the emperor said again: "Shen Zheng, he is old and ill. He is allowed to retire and return to his hometown to recuperate his health. He is also given the title of Kaifu Yi and the Third Division."

The emperor fired the second bomb, aiming directly at Vice Prime Minister Shen Zheng. It seemed that the Zhao court was really going to be shaken today.

When he heard his name, Shen Zheng sighed deeply and closed his eyes. He was already old. He was only sixty-nine years old this year and was in poor health. He practiced boxing in the morning and evening and ate three bowls of rice a meal.

He knew that the previous farce had completely angered the emperor.

When the emperor finished speaking, Shen Zheng came out of the procession with a jade plate and bowed deeply, "My lord, Shen Zheng, I accept the order and express my gratitude."

Next, there is a series of personnel appointments and dismissals.

The deputy prime minister Yan Chi gave him a first-class literary official and allowed him to return to his hometown. Liu Kuan, the official minister, was demoted to his hometown. Zhongcheng, the censor of the Yushitai, was dismissed.

people....

Some people kept coming out tremblingly to express their gratitude, and those who were not called by their names were all upset in their hearts.

Then there are personnel appointments,

Yang Wanhe, the deputy prime minister who was ranked last, became the prime minister. Lu Sheng, the former minister of rites, Xie Mingtang, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and Lin Shuquan, the minister of war, joined the cabinet and became deputy prime ministers.

From then on, these four people formed a new cabinet.

Six ministers have been replaced one after another, and some other departments have also undergone changes. This time, His Majesty's actions can be described as resolute and bold, without any sloppiness.

Finally, the emperor said: "Qin Guan worked hard and made great achievements. He gave immortal food, saved the common people, went out to Jiaozhi, expanded the territory, and conferred Qin Guan as the Grand Master, setting an example for all officials."
