Before Mo Jingning was happy, Yi Qiye came in to report:

"Your Majesty, those old ministers are starting to make trouble again."

His expression suddenly became very majestic, and the pressure from the superior made Yi Qiye dare not speak casually.

"It's starting again? Commander Yi, why would you keep people like this who can only cause trouble to cause more trouble for you?"

Mo Jingning's tone was calm, but Yi Qiye felt his heart tremble when he heard it.

Yi Qiye swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and said:

"The emperor means..."

Mo Jingning's expression suddenly turned cruel and violent:

"Kill all the old ministers who oppose me and keep causing trouble! Hang their bodies in the main hall to warn all officials!

I want to see who else dares to oppose my ascension to the throne without fear of death!

I am the person appointed by the late emperor. Since those people like to make trouble, they should go make trouble in front of the King of Hell."

Kill them all with sticks... in the Hall of Hanging Corpses...

Yi Qiye didn't expect Mo Jingning's heart to be so cold-hearted.

He wants to drive out all those who oppose him.

"Your Majesty...this...will the other ministers participating in the Emperor's performance be too cruel..."

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Mo Jingning's lips:

"Commander Yi, since I have given the order, you just do it, no matter what others say.

The power is in our hands, and we will kill anyone who dares to disobey.

This is called - killing the chicken to scare the monkey!"

Yi Qiye's back also broke out in layers of cold sweat following his words.

This young man who seemed timid at first had such a ruthless nature. It is no wonder that he was the last person to ascend to the throne.

Yi Qiye did not dare to say anything. He only had to obey the emperor's orders.

Now that their identities are different, Mo Jingning cannot be called his disciple like before.

He thought of something and continued to remind Mo Jingning:

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing... Your mother-in-law is in southern Xinjiang. Do you want to bring her back..."

Of course, Mo Jingning has not forgotten this matter. He also wants to see his mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law who still planned for him in the distant southern Xinjiang was still caring about him silently. How could he let the mother-in-law suffer alone in that place?

When Mo Jingning saw Yi Qiye mentioning this, he looked at him a few more times.

"Commander Yi, since you know my mother and concubine and are considered good friends, I can trust you now.

Let’s do this, I will give you 30,000 horses, and you can choose a day to set off, and be sure to bring my mother and concubine safely back to the capital from southern Xinjiang.”

When Yi Qiye heard what Mo Jingning said, he was glad that although he was cruel, he still had the place of family in his heart.

I thought of that beautiful and intelligent woman far away in southern Xinjiang who tolerated bullying and finally came out and was able to enjoy happiness.

Yi Qiye felt his blood boiling.

He knelt down, kowtowed to Mo Jingning respectfully and said:

"I obey the order! I will definitely live up to the emperor's instructions!"

Mo Jingning nodded with satisfaction.

The image of his mother and concubine was almost gone in his mind, but he still respected and loved his mother and concubine.

I hope Yi Qiye can bring her back safely, and then his mother and concubine can enjoy happiness.

The next day, all the ministers in the morning court were shocked.

The corpses of five old ministers were hung on the beams at the entrance of the hall.

Those five veterans all supported Mo Jingyi or Mo Jingfeng before. After Mo Jingning came to the throne, they also caused a lot of troubles.

I didn't expect that the current emperor would be so cruel and ruthless. He killed five people with sticks and hung their bodies to warn all the ministers.

If you oppose yourself or make a scene, you will end up like the five of them!

For a time, all the courtiers were in danger, and no one dared to underestimate the new emperor.

I'm afraid that he will kill you regardless of whether he cares or not. The key is that the power is in his hands and you have no way to resist.

Those people all lamented the cruelty of the new emperor, but each one of them was like a mouse seeing a cat, and they didn't dare to really say it out of their mouths.

Mo Jingning was in a very good mood today.

Not only did he kill those old men who always liked to make trouble in front of him, but he would also be able to see Sister Yun after the court.

His father-in-law, Qian, was now very prosperous and was promoted to be the eunuch in charge of the palace.

At this moment, Eunuch Qian also cleared his throat at Mo Jingning's signal and said to the courtiers below:

"If there is something to do, we will start to act; if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court -"

All the ministers were intimidated and did not dare to point fingers at what Mo Jingning did.

But Situ Shou is different. Now the Situ family has been promoted to a high position because of their merit in supporting the emperor.

The Situ family's goal from the beginning was to support a puppet prince to ascend the throne, so that his own family could soar to the sky.

Controlling the future emperor is equivalent to controlling the entire country. How much wealth is at your fingertips.

But now Mo Jingning's things are becoming less and less under their control. This feeling of being out of control is not good.

Situ Shou stood up and said:

"I am reporting to the Emperor that although these old ministers are disrespectful to the Emperor in their words and deeds, hanging the corpse is too much and will harm the Emperor's reputation!

I hope the emperor will send someone to bury them properly to show the emperor's benevolence!"

Mo Jingning couldn't touch Situ Shou yet. Although he sneered at his words in his heart, he still didn't show it on his face.

He squinted his eyes and said very calmly:

"Oh? According to the wishes of the left prime minister, those who insult me ​​and say that I am not worthy of ascending to the throne should not be killed?

They have violated the late emperor's will. It's enough that I didn't kill them all. Do I have to bury them properly?"

The entire court became audibly quiet after he finished speaking.

Yes, these old ministers did not seek their own death. After all, it was the late emperor's will for the Ninth Prince to ascend the throne.

If you disobey the edict and slander the emperor, aren't you seeking death?

Situ Shou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:

"Your Majesty, I...I don't mean that! What I mean is that the Emperor also needs to consider his own reputation..."

"Okay, Prime Minister Zuo, I know that's not what you mean."

Although this Situ Shou is also very ambitious, Mo Jingning still has some use in keeping him.

Naturally, he would not go to the bottom of things with him, but slap him in the face and give him a sweet date:

"What Zuo Xiang said makes sense. Considering my reputation and the need to spread my benevolence among the people, I decided to listen to Zuo Xiang and bury these people. Someone -"

As soon as Mo Jingning finished speaking, Shidong Shixi received the order and went down to find someone to work.

Presumably after today's morning court meeting, these five veterans who opposed Mo Jingning will be able to be buried smoothly.

Situ Shou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the emperor still listened to his words as before, which made him look good in front of the ministers.

It seems that the emperor still misses his old friendship, and his previous teachings and brainwashing to him are still of some use.

I just hope that the emperor will be more obedient in the future and discuss everything with me more.
