The Future Empress Is Given Death At The Beginning, And I Become Stronger When I Am Stupid.

Everyone looked up in horror, unbelievably staring at Qin Mu, and even the timid ones collapsed directly to the ground!

Has Your Majesty gone mad?

These are all important ministers of the court, loyal subjects who have devoted themselves to Great Qin, and he actually wants to kill them all!

This... this is simply extreme cruelty!

The faces of the ministers were filled with fear and dread.

They never expected that Qin Mu would make such a crazy move!

He's completely gone mad!

The national teacher, Du Yulin, also widened his eyes in astonishment.

His Majesty actually gave the order to kill without mercy?

He took a deep breath, suppressing the tremor in his heart, and respectfully asked:

"Your Majesty, are you sure about this? These ministers have not committed any major wrongdoings. Killing them like this... wouldn't it be too... cruel?"

Du Yulin didn't dare to oppose Qin Mu's decision and could only offer his advice with a brave face.

"Your... Your Majesty, this..."

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

The ministers also pleaded one after another, hoping that Qin Mu would change his mind.

For a while, the entire Gold Imperial Hall was in chaos.

Many officials knelt on the ground, trembling in fear.

Some desperately kowtowed and begged for mercy, while others wept bitterly, praying for Qin Mu's forgiveness. There were also those who glared angrily, rebuking loudly.

"Your Majesty, you cannot vent your anger on us just because of Sun Scale King!"

"Your Majesty, you cannot kill me!"

One minister, with a terrified expression, shouted desperately, "I am an elder of Great Qin. How dare you kill me!"

"Elder?" Qin Mu sneered, "Who gave you the courage to think of yourself as an elder?"

The minister's face turned red, and he shouted excitedly:

"I have devoted decades of my heart and soul to Great Qin, but in the end, I get this kind of ending! Tyrant, you have a cruel heart!"

Qin Mu swept his gaze over the courtiers, a hint of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth, and slowly said:

"You all conspired to subvert the court. According to the law, your entire families should be executed. I, with benevolence and kindness, only sentence you to death. Yet you still don't know how to be grateful!"

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless! Dark Divine Guards, carry out my order and exterminate them and their entire families. Execute all the men and send the women to the Concubine Court! All their assets shall be handed over to the national treasury as a warning to others!"

Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, the courtiers were instantly filled with anger.

You call this benevolence and kindness?

I think you're more like the most tyrannical ruler in history, the most ruthless despot!

But the words that followed made their faces turn pale in an instant!

This is a complete extermination!

At this moment, all the courtiers who secretly supported Qin Shijing trembled all over, their foreheads covered in cold sweat, their faces extremely pale.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Dark Divine Guards, who were waiting outside the hall, responded in unison and rushed into the Gold Imperial Hall, taking away all the ministers.

"Your Majesty, spare us! We admit our mistakes!"

"We are wrongly accused, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, we have been loyal to you. Please spare us, sob..."

"Tyrant! You will not die a good death! Even if we become ghosts, we will not let you off!"

A piercing scream echoed through the sky.

At this moment, one of the ministers, with bloodshot eyes, broke free from the guards' restraints and pounced towards Qin Mu!

"Even if I die today, I will rid Great Qin of you, the tyrant!"

He was a Divine Treasure Realm expert, extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Qin Mu.

Then, he brandished his long sword, aiming directly at Qin Mu's forehead!

However, before he could get close to Qin Mu, he was casually slapped away by Qin Mu!

The minister spat out blood and fell to the ground, completely lifeless.

"Hiss..."

Seeing this scene, everyone in the hall couldn't help but gasp.

Your Majesty... when did you become so powerful??

That was a Divine Treasure Realm expert!

In front of Your Majesty, they are so weak?

The courtiers immediately fell silent, not daring to breathe.

"Take them away and parade them through the streets."

Qin Mu looked around, his cold voice echoing in every corner of the hall.

Seeing this, the remaining ministers became even more panicked, desperately kowtowing and admitting their mistakes:

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Please calm down!"

"We are loyal to Your Majesty, please show mercy!"

"Your Majesty, this old minister is willing to serve you with all his might, please spare us!"

However, no matter how the ministers pleaded, Qin Mu remained unmoved.

In the end, the ministers were dragged out of the hall, their heart-wrenching cries echoing through the Gold Imperial Hall.

Soon, the vast Gold Imperial Hall returned to silence.

"Dismissed."

Qin Mu announced coldly.

Upon hearing this, all the courtiers immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly fled from the Gold Imperial Hall, as if afraid that they would lose their lives if they were too slow.

For a while, only Qin Mu and Du Yulin remained in the Gold Imperial Hall.

Du Yulin stood to the side, hesitated for a long time, and tentatively asked:

"Your Majesty, do you really intend to execute so many courtiers?"

Although Qin Mu was the emperor and had the power to be decisive, such a clean and thorough elimination of so many courtiers would surely cause a huge uproar and even shake the foundation of Great Qin!

"Otherwise? Should we leave them to harm the country?" Qin Mu said indifferently,

"They have long forgotten their surnames and who they serve. I must let them know that Great Qin belongs to me!"

Du Yulin fell silent for a moment, then sighed and said:

"Your Majesty, may I dare to ask how you plan to deal with Sun Scale King and South River King?"

Qin Mu's eyes darkened, and he sneered,

"Of course, they will be killed."

He had long planned to get rid of these two princes, but he had not found a suitable opportunity.

Now was a very suitable time.

After all, the battlefield was full of dangers, and it was normal for a commander to die.

So what if they were princes?

"But..."

Du Yulin hesitated to speak.

Qin Mu turned his head and glanced at him, saying lightly, "If the National Teacher has something to say, just say it."

Du Yulin took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the court is currently unstable, and it is a time to use talents. You..."

Qin Mu waved his hand, interrupting his words, and said lightly, "Sun Scale King died on the battlefield, which is the best outcome. National Teacher, there is no need to say more."

Upon hearing these words, Du Yulin could only smile bitterly and dared not say another word of persuasion.

"Now that Your Majesty has made a decision, I will take my leave." Du Yulin bowed and saluted.

Qin Mu nodded, and after Du Yulin bowed, he turned and left.

After leaving the hall, warm light fell on Du Yulin's shoulders, but it couldn't illuminate the sadness and helplessness in his heart.

In that instant, this old minister, who had worked hard for Great Qin for nearly a hundred years, suddenly aged a few more years, and his once straight back seemed to be slightly bent.

"Ah." Du Yulin sighed, his heart filled with desolation.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you really going to sacrifice Great Qin?"

Du Yulin shook his head and murmured.

He looked back at the hall.

He felt that he needed to do something.

............

On the other side,

Qin Mu was still in the hall.
