Chapter 475: What A Pity

As soon as Zhao Jue’s words came out, all the ministers in the Hall of Benevolence said in unison: "Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

Seeing those trembling ministers still having the courage to defend Cao Qinbo, Zhao Jue calmly stood up from the dragon throne. He signaled to the chief eunuch, and the chief eunuch quickly brought his sword over.

Zhao Jue lazily pulled out his sword and walked down the stairs. With every step he took, the ministers’ fear deepened. When the Minister of Revenue saw Zhao Jue pair of black shoes embroidered with golden dragons stopping in front of him, he couldn’t help but tremble all over. In just a few seconds, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Zhao Jue looked at the trembling fat man who was kneeling at his feet and said calmly: "Huang Fu, Zhen found that you have gained weight again. After eating eight million taels of gold, you only gained this little weight?"

Hearing this, Huang Fu’s fat body trembled even more, and he kept hitting his forehead on the ground while saying, "Your Majesty, please spare this humble minister’s life!"

Seeing Huang Fu’s cold sweat falling on his shoes, Zhao Jue looked at the small wet spots on his shoes coldly and said, "Your disgusting sweat has stained Zhen’s shoes."

Slash!

As soon as these words came out, Huang Fu’s body froze. Before he could react, he saw his own body kneeling on the ground. The next second, Huang Fu looked up and saw Zhao Jue’s shoes approaching, and then kicked his head away. The last thing he saw before he died was Zhao Jue’s crazy smile.

Thud!

When Huang Fu’s head fell to the ground, his body was still kneeling. The next second, the Imperial Guards hurriedly carried Huang Fu’s head and body away. Looking at the blood on the ground, Zhao Jue asked calmly: "Does anyone want to say something to Zhen?"

After he finished asking, the Hall of Benevolence fell into a long silence. Seeing that they were all kneeling and not daring to speak, Zhao Jue clicked his tongue and said, "Prime Minister Cao will leave for the Western Border immediately. All generals should return to their posts and are not allowed to come back without Zhen’s permission."

After speaking, he looked at the other ministers and said, "Arrest all of them except the Minister of War!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial guards rushed into the Hall of Benevolence and said: "Yes, Your Majesty"

He gave the order, and the imperial army immediately arrested all the ministers. Sitting on the stairs of the dragon throne, Zhao Jue watched the ministers being dragged away by the imperial guards while crying and begging for his mercy.

Kneeling in the spacious Hall of Benevolence, Hu Chengjie and the other generals remained silent. Zhao Jue looked at them for a long time before saying, "Minister Hu, Zhen has approved your request for early retirement. Thank you for your hard work over the years."

Although he was surprised, Hu Chengjie still said calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling this humble minister’s wish."

Zhao Jue snorted at him and said: "Leave."

Hu Chengjie seemed to have received a pardon and said quickly: "This humble minister will take my leave."

After Hu Chengjie left, Zhao Jue looked at the generals and said, "Zhen knows that you all want to kill Zhen."

As soon as these words came out, the generals quickly said: "This general don’t dare."

After hearing what they said, Zhao Jue chuckled and said, "Zhen knows that you are all loyal to the Empress Dowager and willing to help Zhen because of her. Unfortunately, even the Empress Dowager has a grudge against Zhen. Since this is the case, you all will be removed from your post today. Leave this empire and don’t come back."

After saying that, Zhao Jue stood up and left the Hall of Benevolence with only the old chief eunuch accompanying him. Hearing his disappearing footsteps, Yao Zhen raised his head, looked at Zhao Jue’s straight back, and said, "This general respectfully sent the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Hearing his words, Zhao Jue paused for a second and then walked away with a slight smile on his lips. After Zhao Jue left, Yao Zhen stood up, looked at the other generals, and said, "Let’s prepare to welcome our new emperor."

As soon as he said this, Jin Huai said, "General Yao, you should be careful with what you say."

Yao Zhen chuckled and said, "Advisor Jin, even Emperor Ming is already preparing to welcome the new emperor. What is the use of us pretending to not know now?"

Jin Huan shook his head, looked in the direction Zhao Jue left, and said, "He is a good child. What a pity..."

As soon as he said this, everyone looked in the same direction. They clasped their fists, bowed deeply, and said, "Farewell, Emperor Ming."

After leaving the Hall of Benevolence, Zhao Jue looked at the chief eunuch and said, "Old man, you’d better get out of the palace as soon as possible. Go far away and live your life for yourself."

The chief eunuch shook his head and said calmly: "This slave will stay with Your Majesty till the end."

Looking at the stubborn old man, Zhao Jue snorted and said, "Then do whatever you want."

After saying that, Zhao Jue walked towards Ming De Palace. When the imperial guards saw him coming with the chief eunuch, they all knelt on the ground and said, "Long live the emperor."

Zhao Jue waved his hand, and the imperial guards stood up one after another and continued to guard Ming De Palace silently. Stopping in front of the main hall of Ming De Palace, Zhao Jue glanced at the chief eunuch and said, "Wait here. No one is allowed to come in without Zhen’s permission."

The chief eunuch bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Jue pushed open the door of the main hall of Ming De Palace and walked in.
