Imperial Palace. Juntian Palace.

His Majesty the Emperor's first court meeting after his extrication began.

All the officials and nobles who were qualified to participate in the Great Gathering had arrived on time, but compared to the last Imperial Meeting held before His Majesty's expedition, the number of people was still a lot smaller!

There are only two outcomes for that part of the population: either they are dead, or they are already in prison! There is also a part, with the former Prime Minister Zhong Mingrui went to the northwest star field of the empire, but there is no suspense about the fate of this group of people!

According to the practice of the major powers of the human world in the past, colluding with people or forces of different races has always been a dead end, and even His Majesty's amnesty decree does not apply to this crime!

Of course, are all the ministers present necessarily cleaner than those in prison? Unknown! Maybe the next time the court meeting, there will be a lot less people here!

Yun Tianyun on the jade steps looked at the ministers in the hall, most of them looked serious, did not squint, and looked dignified, as for what was in their hearts, only they understood in their own hearts!

In the center of the high platform, the emperor was still sitting in his own position, his deep eyes staring quietly at the bottom of the jade steps, and there was no joy or anger on his fair and handsome face.

Empress Xiao, who looked haggard, knelt below, dressed in a plain white dress, and the style of the former mother's world was gone. Behind her, from the head of the family, Xiao Yulin to Xiao Wuji, as well as all the powerful figures of the Xiao family, were present, adding up to hundreds of people.

The hall was silent, and even a needle could be heard falling on the ground. The ministers looked at the eyes of the Xiao family, there was hatred, pity, ridicule, anger, and schadenfreude, although they didn't say it, they all knew in their hearts that this super family, which was once prominent in the Starlight Empire, was completely finished!

"Xiao Muhan!" After a long silence, the emperor's voice finally sounded in the hall:

"Can you give me a satisfactory explanation for what the Xiao family has done during this period of time, the accusations made by the speaker of the House of Nobles, and the royal concubines of the harem?"

Hearing Yun Haoyu's voice, her body couldn't help but tremble, bit her lower lip, and replied gloomily: "Your Majesty...... There is nothing to explain about all this! ”

Yun Tianyun asked solemnly: "Then do you admit that you betrayed Your Majesty and betrayed the empire?" ”

"No, absolutely not!" Xiao Muhan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly defended:

"The concubine is indeed unforgivable, but her heart for His Majesty has always been the same, and she has never betrayed the slightest!"

On the left side of the high platform, the imperial concubines who participated in the court meeting all showed disdain on their faces, and Fang Mengyan, who had just recovered from a serious injury, scolded in a low voice: "Hell! ”

Yun Haoyu looked down at the bookcase in front of him, and said indifferently: "No betrayal? Well, since you still think so in your own heart, then I will spend more time talking to you! ”

"I ask you, how did Roland die?"

Xiao Muhan looked at his father who was kneeling behind him, hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter, is it...... The concubine's family did it. ”

"Who's giving the order?"

"Yes...... The concubine ...... Before she could speak, Xiao Wuji took a few steps forward and paused:

"Your Majesty, this matter is an order from the criminal minister, and the queen did not know about it in advance! So it has nothing to do with her! ”

Xiao Muhan's face became more and more pale, and there were faint tears flashing in the corners of his eyes.

Yun Haoyu said indifferently: "I didn't ask you!" ”

A palace guard next to him walked over and slapped Xiao Wuji in the face a few times, dragging him back to his original position. A few teeth mixed with red blood splashed on the jade steps.

Xiao Yulin's lips moved, but when she saw the emperor's cold eyes, she lowered her head in fear.

"I ask you again, when the second princess Yun Zhixia was full moon, among the rewards sent by the Internal Affairs Office, there were more than ten different compound biochemical poisons, clothing, jewelry, and various supplements used by Princess Luo, and as many as twelve kinds of problems were detected! It's all rare and strange poisons, how do you explain this? ”

Xiao Muhan felt bitter in her heart, the reward of the Internal Affairs Office was issued in the name of the queen, and she was naturally to blame for such a thing! Although it was true that she did not do this, but his father secretly instructed Xiao Wenyue to do it, this responsibility cannot be shirked!

To put it mildly, it means that the employment of people is unknown, the royal authority is not strict, and there is negligence; To put it mildly, it is a murder of the royal bloodline, which is an unforgivable felony in any dynasty!

Yun Haoyu flipped through the file in front of him and continued to ask:

"The prime minister of the Gnarsrock Empire came to visit the imperial capital, and you signed a peace treaty with the enemy country without going through the imperial cabinet and parliament, and even agreed to the other party's marriage request, forcing the eldest princess to marry outside, and even hit the idea on the princess Yun Zhixia!"

"You're doing this to pave the way for your own children, right? For this, you don't even spare a baby who has just completed the month? ”

Xiao Yulin finally couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, this matter was all done by the dog Xiao Wuji, the queen was just coerced, not her own opinion!" I hope Your Majesty will see it! ”

Yun Haoyu glanced at her coldly and said, "It's okay, I believe you this time, then, how did Luo Hanxing die?" ”

Xiao Muhan said in a low voice: "Marshal...... He was killed by Randall's instructive remnants of the original Charestine Alliance! ”

"And what role do you play in that?" Yun Haoyu asked, "You, or your family, not only did you set up ambushes along the way, but it is said that you also used a certain artifact to lock the marshal's whereabouts!" If it weren't for your dedication, would the marshal have died less than two thousand light-years from the imperial capital? ”

“……”

Luo Qiyue glared at her resentfully, got up and bowed slightly to Yun Haoyu, and said, "I also ask Your Majesty to be the master of the concubine!" ”

"Of course, these things have to be sorted out one by one! Whoever it is, pay for their actions! Yun Haoyu nodded lightly and pointed to the file on the bookcase, which was more than two feet thick:

"These things are all records of the many illegal acts of the Xiao family in the imperial capital in the past few months, bullying men and women, stealing and robbing, abducting and deceiving, and even colluding with foreign races, reselling all kinds of prohibited items, all kinds of evil deeds, which is really shocking to me!"

Yun Tianyun added: "Especially that Xiao Yiyun, who actually brought a sword into the palace, stayed on the dragon bed at night, and ** the palace maid, and tortured and killed the palace people at will if he didn't agree with him!" Such a rebellious crime deserves to be put to death! As the master of the middle palace, the queen didn't care about the evil deeds of her family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she was an accomplice! ”

"But Xiao Yiyi is ...... It's dead, it's the eldest princess! Xiao Yulin said boldly.

Yun Haoyu calmly retorted, "Doesn't he deserve to die?" ”

Xiao Yulin shuddered and didn't dare to say anything more.

He sighed deeply: "There are many, many charges here, but I don't bother to ask one by one, including about your rebellion!" Ladies and gentlemen, how do you say that the queen and the Xiao family's guilt should be handled? ”

Yun Tianyun immediately said: "Your Majesty, Empress Xiao's crime is unforgivable, and she should be immediately stripped of her title and given death!" The Xiao family plotted against the usurpation of the throne, and should destroy the whole clan! Set an example! ”

Crassus echoed: "What His Royal Highness the Duke said is very good, and the minister has no objection!" ”

Yang Wentao said: "The laws of the empire are inviolable, the majesty of the royal family must be defended, Empress Xiao has turned her back on Her Majesty and the empire!" There is nothing wrong with such a disposition! ”

Then, all the important ministers expressed their opinions one by one, and their opinions were surprisingly unanimous, all of them were in favor of the execution and extermination of the clan.

Xiao Muhan looked around blankly, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including those officials who were once attached to the Xiao family, as long as they could still stand in the main hall, they all agreed in unison to destroy the Xiao family and give the queen death, and no one opened their mouths to intercede.

Is this politics? In order to show her innocence, she did everything she could to splash all the sewage on her family, completely forgetting that she was a guest in the Xiao family's mansion not long ago!

It's just that, I didn't expect that I would end up with such a result and become the first queen of the Starlight Empire to be given death! This honor really made her helpless!

The eyes of the ministers all looked at the emperor on the throne, how to decide, now it depends on His Majesty's meaning!

Yun Haoyu lowered his eyes, just in time to meet the queen's gaze, looking at this woman who had always occupied an important position in his life, his heart was full of indescribable melancholy, regret, disappointment, and anger.

The other party is the first woman in his life, and they have walked hand in hand over the years, and this relationship is naturally not fake. But when he was the most difficult and needed support in his life, the other party did not insist on continuing to stand on his side, but succumbed to his own selfishness, acquiesced in, and even connived at his family's various outrageous behaviors!

No real man can tolerate the betrayal of his beloved woman, especially in this case, and he is no exception! Although the other party may have their own difficulties, this is not a reason!

Although the attitude of some of them made him very disdainful, it still had an impact on his ideas that could not be ignored.

Yes, with her performance during this period of time, with all kinds of despicable and shameless acts of her family, it seems that this family will disappear completely, which seems to be a normal idea anymore! No matter which monarch is qualified, there will be no other choice!

"Oh well! Since all the Qings think so......" Yun Haoyu was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

Immediately, an untimely voice suddenly sounded in the hall, interrupting the emperor's verdict: "Your Majesty, slow down, the minister has something to say!" ”

He couldn't help but be a little stunned, looking at Yu Xinzhe who walked out of the military commander sequence, his eyebrows slowly twisted, and his eyes became more and more aggressive.

The marshal, though a little nervous, stood up without flinching.

"Yu Qing, do you have any other different opinions?" Yun Haoyu looked down at his fair and slender hands, and his voice was still flat.

(Should the queen die?)

PS: This one is even late, sorry, it's still three more today! ）
