Sima Lian listened to more and more people dying, and his breathing became rapid.

These people were all forces he had cultivated, but now they were found out.

Hearing that Liao Cheng had no intention of stopping, Sima Lian was anxious for a moment and actually stood up.

"Your Majesty, please be more careful. These things may be...perhaps their family members did it. They don't know about these things."

After Sima Lian finished speaking, the emperor's eyes flashed.

Liao Cheng did not read any more, but looked at the emperor.

The emperor looked at Sima Lian, who was standing at the front. Sweat broke out on Sima Lian's forehead.

He was also very uneasy at this time. The people Liao Cheng mentioned just now were all closely related to him.

If anything happens to those people, they will definitely be traced to him.

Now that his son has not been recovered, he cannot die yet, cannot die...

Sima Lian took two deep breaths and tried to suppress his panic.

He never thought that he would end up in such a situation one day.

I remember that when he was an old minister of the previous dynasty, the emperor was very tolerant of him. Now...

Sima Lian shook his head quickly, it was no longer the former court.

He was indeed a loyal minister in the previous dynasty, but now he has indeed changed.

Thinking of this, Sima Lian couldn't help but closed his eyes.

Naturally, he knew that His Majesty was kind to him and not to kill him.

But how could he not save Rong'er's child?

At this moment, Sima Lian seemed to have aged ten years.

In just a moment, Sima Lian's back became rickety.

The emperor naturally noticed Sima Lian's changes.

The reason why he has trusted Sima Lian over the years is precisely because of Sima Lian's talent and his determination not to betray his master easily.

He also spent a lot of effort to let Sima Lian enter the court.

Even if Sima Lian formed a clique in the court, the emperor didn't have much taboo.

Just because he understood that with Sima Lian here, this great Zhou Dynasty would not be destroyed.

What's more, it is indeed much easier for him to win over those people if they are led by Sima Lian.

But for some unknown reason, Sima Lian got involved with Lao Ba.

It's been like this for a long time, and the secret guard has never found out the reason.

But even so, the emperor felt that Sima Lian had no choice but to cooperate with Lao Ba.

After all, even if the former Sima Lian won over civil servants, he would never turn back.

When it comes to looking at people, he still has confidence.

As for Zhang Siyuan, it's not that he didn't know Zhang Siyuan's talents, it was just that he was too timid at the time.

He had no confidence in his ability to rule and underestimated Zhang Siyuan's loyalty.

Thinking of Zhang Siyuan, the emperor couldn't help but closed his eyes.

When he looked at the courtiers below, the look in his eyes became cold again.

When the civil servants below heard Sima Lian plead for them, they seemed to have found a supporter.

Sima Lian gave them an excuse, but they didn't expect that the writer would dare to accept it.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right. We are not aware of these things. They should be done by the women at home and have nothing to do with us."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are all loyal ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can we do such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, please look into it and clear my name!"

These words were like an instruction and were immediately echoed by many people.

"Your Majesty, please be aware of this and clear my name!"

"Your Majesty, please take a closer look..."

Sima Lian couldn't help but close his eyes when he heard the civil servant's voice behind him.

He never imagined that these people could be so stupid.

He knew what he said was an excuse, how could the emperor not know?

He only begged for mercy in the hope that the emperor would keep a few of them because of the fact that these courtiers had done something for the Zhou Dynasty in the past.

Unexpectedly, these idiots took his excuse as the truth.

Now that they are still persecuting the emperor like this, do they still think that their persecution can make the emperor unable to compromise?

When today's emperor asked people to drag Zhou Yushi away, Sima Lian knew that today's emperor was different.

Although I don't know why the emperor suddenly changed his temper, under such circumstances, he still wanted to keep a few people doing things.

But he didn't expect that these courtiers were used to being arrogant and had no respect for the emperor as before.

The emperor had favored civil servants before, so he naturally looked kindly on them.

But now the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty were occupied by Fan Bang people, and they even captured another city.

These people did not examine why they, as officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, allowed the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be lost. Instead, they accused or even impeached the generals who defended the enemy at the border. They are really idiots!

Sima Lian saw the emperor's face darken again, and finally stopped asking for mercy.

Some people deserve to die, but he can't stay with just a few words of mercy.

When the emperor heard these civil servants talking about Mingcha and his innocence, he felt a little ironic for some reason.

"Innocent? Are you still innocent?"

Everyone was stunned, and just as they were about to refute, they saw the emperor actually throwing a memorial towards them.

"The reason why Vice-General Liu was defeated is here. Someone in Yangcheng collaborated with the enemy, and this was how the unbreakable city was broken."

"As for the evidence and the collaborator, Lieutenant General Liu has already captured him. Maybe it won't take a few days to bring that beast to the capital."

"I used to find it strange how a little governor could have such courage. He dared to open the city gate and kneel down to greet the foreign generals. It turns out that there are people behind him supporting him."

"As for the person behind him, huh, ministers, would you like to guess who it is?"

The emperor's mocking words made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

For some reason, they always have a bad feeling.

The emperor looked at the other book in his hand, and the coldness in his eyes deepened.

"You're not even talking, are you? Well, in that case, I will find you."

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Chu, don't you explain the affairs of the Governor of Yangcheng?"

The civil servant kneeling at the front was shaking like chaff.

He was able to say those words so righteously just because he felt that the emperor couldn't find any excuse for him.

Even if he ordered the governor of Yangcheng to cooperate with the Fanbang people, he was still doing things behind the scenes.

I never expected that the governor of Yangcheng would kneel down to welcome the foreigners in an upright manner.

"Your Majesty, I... I don't know about this..."

"I don't know? Really? In that case, Mr. Chu, take a good look at who the person is up here!"

The emperor once again threw out a memorial, which clearly stated his relationship with the governor of Yangcheng.

The reason why the governor of Yangcheng cooperated with the enemy was also under his instruction.

The man who had just said that he was a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty was already trembling and paralyzed on the ground.
