I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

The emperor, who had just looked at the quarrel between the courtiers, said coldly: "Is the quarrel over?"

The emperor's voice was not loud, but it immediately silenced the noisy courtiers just now.

After hearing the emperor's calm tone, everyone realized something was wrong.

This kind of calm was not like the emperor's usual indulgence towards these civil servants, but rather like the dawn before the storm.

I don’t know why, but I was so proud to suppress the general just now.

When they feel that they can trample the generals under their feet today, and even get rid of some generals that they usually don't deal with.

The emperor's tone was like cold water poured on the heads of the civil servants, causing them to wake up immediately.

Some reacted quickly and immediately went to see Sima Lian, hoping that Sima Lian could save them.

However, Sima Lian stood at the front with his eyes closed, showing no intention of speaking.

Seeing Sima Lian like this, all the civil servants were even more flustered.

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

The emperor interrupted the civil servant before he could speak.

"Yu Shi Zhou, did you just say that Liu Ding went to the border and brought troops with him?"

Zhou Yushi thought that the emperor would blame them for being so bold today.

Now hearing the emperor's words, Zhou Yushi was relieved.

It seemed that in the emperor's heart, he was still interested in civil servants like them.

"Your Majesty, I have indeed received the news."

Seeing the emperor nodding, the civil servants couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the emperor had no intention of blaming them.

However, when the military commander saw the emperor's attitude, the look in his eyes couldn't help but become much sadder.

They originally thought that the emperor had changed and had returned to the former general and emperor who led the army. When the emperor faced the threat of civil servants, he still chose civil servants.

The emperor did not look at the military commander, but stared at Zhou Yushi who looked slightly proud below.

"Really? How did you learn about this?"

"There are constant wars on the border. Is it possible that Zhou Yushi still left people in Yangcheng on the border?"

The emperor's words made Zhou Yushi's proud smile suddenly freeze on his face.

When the emperor saw this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"You also got the news, right? I didn't expect that my ministers are so capable. They have spies in dangerous places on the border."

The emperor's words unintentionally made what they had done obvious, which made the civil servants who had been so proud just now feel weak in their legs and fell to their knees one after another.

"Your Majesty, please check carefully. We do not have any spies at the border. We also heard from Mr. Zhou that Vice General Liu is at the border. Moreover, Vice General Liu has brought troops, so I am worried..."

These words seemed to remind everyone, and someone immediately stood up.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Liu is at the border where Wu Zhao led his troops. If this is a rebellion... I'm afraid no one in the capital will be able to detect it."

The emperor couldn't help but sneered when he heard this, "Every minister is a capable person, how could you not notice it?"

No one dared to respond to the emperor's taunting words.

"Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. Vice General Liu has indeed led troops to the border without being summoned. No one knows his purpose. If he is serious about treason..."

Some people couldn't bear the feeling of being suppressed like this and couldn't help but refute.

After all, for so many years, the only people suppressed by the emperor were the reckless military generals.

Talents like them are the mainstay of the court, how can they be compared to those reckless men?

"Who said Vice General Liu was without an imperial edict?"

When everyone heard this, they became more and more panicked.

"This is the border where I ordered Vice General Liu to go. Do you have any objections?"

The civil servant was stunned for a moment. The emperor had not valued military generals for many years. Why would he let Liu Ding go to the border now?

Sima Lian felt a little uneasy. If it was really the border where the emperor ordered Liu Ding to go, why did he only give the order in private and not speak out?

Is the emperor afraid of them?

This realization made Sima Lian panic for a moment. If what they did with the Eighth Prince was discovered...

No, not possible.If the emperor really noticed it, he would never be as indifferent as he is now.

The emperor's words panicked some civil servants and made some people who did not understand the situation even more dissatisfied.

Then Liu Ding went to the border, how could they do business with the Fanbang people?

The money given by those foreigners was not small. If Liu Ding really stopped him, how would they collect the tribute from the foreigners in the future?

Not only one person in the court had benefited from the foreigners, but now that Liu Ding was going to the border to defend against the enemy, it was their interests that were harmed.

The person who was kneeling on the ground just now suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, it is only right for us to negotiate peace with the Fanbang people now. Your Majesty has so rashly sent troops to fight in the north. Doesn't it make the Fanbang people unhappy?"

These words immediately resonated with many people, and they said why the filial piety money had not been collected this time. It turned out that Liu Ding was involved.

How could they bear it when they thought that they couldn't receive so much money?

Some civil servants who had just been blaming Liu Ding and the generals now pointed their fingers at the emperor.

Sima Lian suddenly raised his head, met the emperor's bottomless eyes, and his breathing suddenly became faster.

"His Majesty……"

Before he could speak, the emperor said: "Come here, Mr. Zhou and below are guilty of disrupting our government. Drag him out and behead him!"

After the emperor finished speaking, the whole hall fell silent.

No one expected that the emperor would suddenly order to kill people, even Zhou Yushi himself was stunned.

He just said a few words. In the past, emperors were most partial to their civil servants.

Even if they were rude, the emperor would forgive them.

How come he was ordered to be beheaded now?

Zhou Yushi looked a little dazed.

Before he could react, a guard immediately stepped forward outside the door and dragged him out.

It wasn't until Zhou Yushi was dragged into the main hall that he realized that his end was approaching.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I only think about the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"I beg you not to be enlightened, but your Majesty to be enlightened!"

Zhou Yushi's begging and shouting for mercy failed to move the emperor's face, but instead made the murderous intent in his eyes stronger.

The emperor withdrew his gaze and looked at the civil servants standing in the court again.

The person who had just been righteously criticizing the emperor immediately knelt down.

All of them were shaking like chaff and dared not speak nonsense.

Seeing the silence in the court for a moment, the emperor couldn't help but sneered.

"What do the ministers think of the peace negotiation?"

No one expected that the emperor would ask about the peace talks at this time, but it was indeed they who brought it up first, and it was useless for them to regret it.

Thinking of what they had said before, some of them felt uneasy and did not dare to speak again.

But some people don't give up. After all, the benefits provided by the foreigners are not small, and they also want to give it a try.

After hearing the emperor's inquiry, someone stood up.
