Everyone who had been searched by the general ran to the palace to complain. The old emperor's head almost exploded.

"Father, do you want to take a look at the warehouse?"

The prince heard that the general not only searched the palace's warehouses last night, but also visited important places like the treasury.

Now looking at the minister lying on the ground complaining, the prince suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Your Majesty, you are too worried. Is the General the kind of person who has no importance?"

The emperor trusted the general.

The people whose homes were confiscated were all the enemies of the general. The general was young and vigorous, so it was inevitable that he would avenge himself publicly, but he didn't have the guts to touch the palace yet.

The prince did not listen to the emperor's words and secretly winked at his personal eunuch.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me and others!"

"The general is doing this for personal gain and bending the law. We have not violated any national or family rules. Why did the general raid our house?"

The ministers couldn't be more excited. Now there is only an empty shell left in their house, and nothing that can be taken away has been left.

"My dear friends, don't worry, I have already sent people to find the general. When he comes, I will just ask him to return the things to you!"

The emperor thought simply, just return the things. He didn't know that the general might not come out.

"Your Majesty, I see your Majesty!"

The general had expected that these people would go to the palace to complain, but he was not afraid. He was ordered to find the whereabouts of the sacred beast.

"Has the General found the sacred beast?"

The original holy beast in the palace has died of old age. If a new holy beast is not found, the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty may complain.

"Your Majesty, I have been searching all night and there are no clues, but please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will intensify the search and ensure that the sacred beast is recovered!"

The general had no intention of looking for the holy beast last night, and today he would continue to look for it with great fanfare.

"We have no problem with the general searching for the sacred beast, but why did the general raid my home?"

"And my family, the general is too cruel. Although we have some friction on weekdays, the general can't confiscate our home!"

The ministers accused the general one after another. Even if the emperor ordered to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, he could not do it completely.

"My lords, please stop spewing blood! When did this general raid your homes?"

Although the general wanted to do that, he held back because now was not the time.

"There is no point in denying it, General. After all, our house is there. Now apart from a room full of slaves, there is only an empty courtyard left. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can go and check it yourself!"

It's so cruel, it's really outrageous.

Everything that could be used and moved at home was gone, let alone the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings they collected.

"You are spitting nonsense!"

The general had given repeated orders not to allow his men to touch those things, but unexpectedly these ministers actually bit back.

"Your Majesty! Your Highness, something bad has happened. All the warehouses in the palace are empty. The treasury..."

The eunuch rushed into the hall and couldn't help but wince when he saw the general.

"What? Tell me clearly, what happened to the treasury?"

The treasury is the foundation of the country. Even if someone rebels, the treasury will not be touched easily, because no matter who is in power, they need the support of the treasury.

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, nothing!"

"The person guarding the treasury said that since the general went in, no one has gone in again!"

The treasury is an important place of the country and no one is allowed to approach it without His Majesty’s will.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The general's eyes almost popped out of his head. He searched the treasury and the palace treasury, but he didn't touch the contents at all.

"General, if you don't believe it, go and see for yourself!"

The eunuch shivered and knelt on the ground, thinking in his mind how to survive in a certain death situation.

"Let's go, I don't believe it either, but I want to see who dares to touch the treasury!"

The emperor led a group of ministers to the large and small warehouses of the palace. The result was just as the eunuch said, not even a hair was left in them.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the treasury is exactly the same as in our mansion. This must have been done by the general!"

Seeing the bare palace warehouses, the ministers felt a little bit of balance in their hearts.

"Go to the treasury and have a look!"

The emperor's expression turned extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty must believe me, I did not do this!"

The general was also a little panicked, his head was buzzing, and he suspected that one of his men was a traitor.

In fact, the result is the same whether the treasury looks at it or not.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was a prosperous country, and the treasury was also very full. The treasury that used to be full was now empty with the roar of the emperor.

"Aftershock, I treat you badly, but you actually stole the national treasury. You deserve to die!"

Yuzhen was a young talent personally selected by the emperor. He took charge of the military affairs of the Western Zhou Dynasty at a young age, which shows how much the emperor trusted him.

"If I say I didn't do it, you won't believe it. In fact, His Majesty is responsible for all of this!"

Aftershock's head was smart enough. When the explanation was unclear, he simply didn't explain it.

"The holy beast in the palace has long since died, but His Majesty sent people to search for the holy beast everywhere for the sake of his own foundation, with the intention of capturing the holy beast into captivity in the palace!"

"How can a holy beast be kept in captivity? What your Majesty did is against the harmony of heaven, and this is retribution!"

Aftershock was so praised by the emperor that he didn't know how high the heaven and earth were, and he already had a disobedient heart.

Originally, he wanted to use the holy beast incident to make the Western Zhou royal family lose the support of the people, but he did not expect that there would be such an unexpected gain.

But it's a pity about those gold and silver jewelry. If he had known this, he should have made the first move last night.

"You! What are you talking about?"

The emperor was so angry that he fell backwards.

"What I said is true. Your Majesty did something that went against the will of heaven. This is God's punishment!"

No matter why the treasury became like this, Aftershock will put this big hat on the emperor's head.

"Nonsense, come here!"

"The general intended to rebel and was stabbed to death with random arrows!"

The way the prince looked at Yushui had changed.

First he stole the treasury and palace wealth, and then he slandered the royal family. Aftershock made the prince guess the same thing.

"Let me see who dares?"

Having been in charge of the military for more than ten years was not for nothing. Yuzhen had already replaced the Ouchi guards with his own people.

"It's really a wolfish ambition!"

The prince's face became more and more gloomy, Yu Zhen's hand had been stretched too long, and if he didn't chop it off, it might become a disaster.

"There are capable people in the world. Since Your Majesty is unkind, don't blame me for being unfaithful and unjust!"

"Kill the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Emperor with a reward of ten thousand taels and a third-rank official title!"

Aftershock was a little impatient, and now this situation had pushed him directly to the forefront, so he couldn't do anything if he didn't worry.
