Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters Scarlet Scepter (eight)
Imperial Palace, Juntian Hall.
The first court meeting after His Majesty the Emperor escaped from trouble began.
All the officials and nobles who were qualified to participate in the grand dynasty meeting were present on time, but compared with the last dynasty meeting held before His Majesty went to war, the number of people was still much smaller!
There are only two consequences for that group of people: either they die or they are already in prison! There are also some who go to the star domain of the northwest of the empire with former Prime Minister Zhong Mingrui, but the fate of these people is no longer suspense!
According to the past practices of major countries in the human world, colluding with alien races has always been a dead end, and even the emperor's pardon order does not apply to this crime!
Of course, are the officials present here definitely cleaner than those in prison? It’s unknown! Maybe there will be a lot of people in the next court meeting!
Yun Tianque on the jade steps looked at the ministers in the hall. Most of them looked serious and looked squinting, and looked hypocritical. As for what they were thinking about, only they themselves understood!
In the center of the high platform, the emperor was still sitting in his own position, his deep eyes staring quietly below the jade steps, and there was no joy or anger on his fair and handsome face.
Queen Xiao, who was haggard, knelt down below, wearing a plain white dress, and her former mother's style of being in the world was gone. Behind her, from the head of the family, Xiao Yulin to Xiao Wuji, and all the real power figures of the Xiao family's direct descendants were present, with a total of hundreds of people.
The hall was quiet, and even a needle fell to the ground could be heard. The ministers looked at the Xiao family with hatred, mercy, mockery, anger, and gloating. Although they didn't say it, they all understood in their hearts that this super family, which was once prominent in the Starlight Empire, had been completely finished!
"Xiao Muhan!" After a long silence, the emperor's voice finally rang in the hall:
"Can you give me a satisfactory explanation for the accusations made by the Speaker of the Noble House and the imperial concubines in the harem?"
Hearing Yun Haoyu's voice, her body trembled, bit her lower lip, and replied dejectedly: "Your Majesty... I have nothing to explain about all this!"
Yun Tianque asked seriously: "Then are you admitting that you betray Your Majesty and the Empire?"
"No, absolutely not!" Xiao Muhan's pretty face was pale and he hurriedly defended:
"I am indeed unforgivable to betray your Majesty, but I have always been in a consistent manner and I have no intention of betrayal!"
On the left side of the high platform, the imperial concubines participating in the court meeting all showed disdain on their faces. Fang Mengyan, who was seriously injured and recovered, whispered: "Goddess!"
Yun Haoyu looked down at the desk in front of him and said calmly: "No betrayal? Well, since you still think so in your heart, then I will spend more time talking to you!"
"I ask you, how did Roland die?"
Xiao Muhan looked at his father kneeling behind him and hesitated for a moment: "This matter is done by... my family."
"Who gave the order?"
"Yes... I'm..." Before she could say it, Xiao Wuji walked forward a few steps and said:
"Your Majesty, this matter is the order of the criminal minister, and the queen is not aware of it in advance! So it has nothing to do with her!"
Xiao Muhan's face became paler and tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.
Yun Haoyu said coldly: "I didn't ask you!"
A palace guard next to him came over, slapped Xiao Wuji's face a few times, dragging him back to his original position. Several teeth mixed with red blood stains splattered on the jade steps.
Xiao Yulin's lips moved, but when she saw the emperor's cold eyes, she lowered her head in fear.
"I'll ask you again. When the second princess Yun Zhixia was full moon, among the rewards sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there were three fruits that hidden more than ten different compound biochemical poisons. The clothes, jewelry, and various supplements used by Princess Luo, and the problems were detected as many as twelve! They were all rare and strange poisons. How do you explain this matter?"
Xiao Muhan felt bitter in his heart. The reward from the Office of the Internal Affairs was distributed in the name of the queen. She naturally could not refuse such a thing! Although it was indeed not her who did this, but what his father secretly instructed Xiao Wenyue, the responsibility could not be shirked no matter how much!
To put it in the minority, it means that people are not clear about, and they are not strict in control of their subordinates, and they are wrong in obscurity; to put it in the minority, it means that they are murdering the royal bloodline, and it is an unforgivable serious crime in any dynasty!
Yun Haoyu flipped through the file in front of him and continued to ask:
"The Prime Minister of the Gnaslok Empire came to visit the imperial capital. You did not pass the imperial cabinet and parliament, but signed a treaty with the enemy country without authorization. He even agreed to the other party's request for marriage, forcing the eldest princess to marry, and even put his ideas on the emperor's daughter Yun Zhixia!"
"You do this to pave the way for your own children? For this reason you don't even let a baby who's just over a month old?"
Xiao Yulin finally couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, this is all done by the dog son Xiao Wuji. The queen is just being coerced, not her own decision! I hope Your Majesty will take a clear look!"
Yun Haoyu gave her a cold look and said, "Okay, I believe you this time, then, how did Luo Hanxing die?"
Xiao Muhan whispered: "The Marshal... was killed by Randall's remnants of the original Shalestin Alliance!"
"What role did you play in it?" Yun Haoyu asked,
"You, or your family, not only have all the elites, but also set up ambush along the way. It is said that a certain artifact was used to lock in the whereabouts of the marshal! If you hadn't done your best so hard, would the marshal die in a battle less than two thousand light-years away from the emperor?"
“…”
Luo Qingyue glared at her angrily, stood up and bowed slightly to Yun Haoyu, and said, "I'd like to ask Your Majesty to be the master of yourselves!"
"Of course, these things must be settled one by one! No matter who it is, they have to pay the price for their actions!" Yun Haoyu nodded slightly, pointed to the file that was more than two feet thick on the desk and said:
"These things are all recorded in the many illegal acts of the Xiao family in the imperial capital over the past few months, such as bullying men and women, robbing men and kidnaps, and even colluding with foreigners to resell various prohibited items. All kinds of evil deeds are really shocking!"
Yun Tianque added: "Especially, Xiao Yiqi, who actually brought his sword into the palace, stayed in the dragon bed at night, raped the palace maids, and killed the palace maids at will withstand arbitrarily! Such a crime of ruthlessness should be executed by stern chi! As the lord of the central palace, the queen actually ignored the evil deeds of her family, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a complicitor!"
"But Xiao Yiwei... is dead, it was the eldest princess who did it!" Xiao Yulin said with courage.
Yun Haoyu asked calmly: "Don't he die?"
Xiao Yulin shivered and didn't dare to say anything else.
He sighed deeply: "There are many crimes in it, but I am too lazy to ask one by one, including your rebellion! What do you think should you deal with the blame for the Queen and the Xiao family?"
Yun Tianque immediately said: "Your Majesty, Empress Xiao's crimes are unforgivable. She should immediately deprive the queen of her title and be sentenced to death! The Xiao family plans to usurp the throne, and should be killed! It is a warning to others!"
Crassus echoed: "His Highness the Duke 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 betrayed His Majesty and the empire! Such a disposal is nothing wrong!"
Then, all the important officials expressed their opinions one by one, and their opinions were astonishingly unanimous, and they all fell to the ground to agree to the execution and extermination of the clan.
Xiao Muhan looked around in confusion. All the civil and military officials in the court, including those who had once depended on the Xiao family, all agreed to destroy the Xiao family and give the Queen to death, and no one pleaded for mercy.
Is this politics? In order to show his innocence, he did his best to pour all the sewage onto her family, completely forgetting that he was a guest of honor in the Xiao family's mansion not long ago!
Forget it, I didn't expect that I would end up with such a result and become the first queen to be killed in the Starlight Empire! This honor really made her helpless!
The ministers all looked at the emperor on the throne. How to make a decision depends on what His Majesty meant now!
Yun Haoyu lowered his eyes and happened to meet the queen's gaze. Looking at the woman who had always occupied an important position in his life, his heart was filled with indescribable melancholy, regret, disappointment, and anger.
The other party was the first woman in his life, and he went through these years together. This relationship was naturally not fake. However, when his life was the most difficult and needed support, the other party did not insist on continuing to stand on his side, but instead surrendered to his own selfishness, and for this reason, he even indulged in various outrageous behaviors of his family!
No real man can tolerate the betrayal of his beloved woman, especially in this case, he is no exception! Although the other party may have his own difficulties, this is not a reason!
The words spoken by the ministers. Although the attitudes of some of them made him very despised, they still had an impact on his ideas that cannot be ignored.
Yes, with her performance over the past period of time and with her family's despicable and shameless behavior, it seems that it is a normal idea to completely disappear this family! No matter which qualified monarch has any other choice!
"Okay! Since all the good guys think so..." Yun Haoyu was silent for a long time and finally made up his mind to say.
Immediately, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded in the hall, interrupting the emperor's judgment: "Your Majesty, be at ease, I have something to say!"
He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He looked at Yu Xinzhe who walked out of the sequence of generals, his eyebrows slowly froze, and his eyes became more and more sharp.
Although the marshal was a little nervous, he still stood up without retreating.
"Yu Qing, may you have any different opinions?" Yun Haoyu looked down at his fair and slender hands, his voice still remained dull.
Should the queen die?
