One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

The expressions on Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua's faces didn't change at all. They were completely unaffected by the surrounding officials. They kneeled on the ground and raised their heads to look in the direction of Baili Qingfeng. Their eyes were clear and cold, and they had calm expressions on them.

Baili Qing Cang's heart trembled, "You guys... "The two of you are forcing me to cripple you?" One prince and one princess going against the entire imperial court's civil and military forces, had they ever considered the consequences of failure?

Shen Ninghua raised his head and looked at the old man sitting on the dragon throne. Behind him, there were nine claws, golden dragon horns, and an imposing manner. "However, I do not regret it. It hurts to remove some rotten things, but only by removing them with all my heart will I be able to recreate new ones."

The officials standing by the side were enraged.

"What do you mean, rotten? You said that all of us are rotten? "

"When I was an official, you were not even born yet. Do you think a brat like me can easily kill a court official just by relying on the love of the emperor?"

"That's right. If Prince Yi and Princess Radiant don't give this subject and others an explanation, then even if they have to die in the Hall of Acceptance today, they'll still have to fight for their own innocence!"

Baili Junyi abruptly turned his head, his eyes sharp and determined. "Then, you can kill yourself!" Without you in the Great An Country, there will be plenty of people waiting to become an official. Do you really think that you're just a plate of food that can't become a banquet without you? "

"Third Prince, what do you mean by that?" "If you force us to our deaths?"

"Heh, heh," Baili Junyi mockingly replied. "You're the one who's going to die. I'm listening to you and you're going to bite me back. How come you forgot your own identity and didn't understand what you're made of?"

Shen Ninghua sneered coldly, his clear and cold eyes were filled with contempt. "This Lord Zhou, since you don't know the ins and outs of this matter, don't compete to be the first one to take the lead. Prince Yi did say that he set fire to the flowerbeds, but did not say that the account books were forged! "

What … "What?"

"The contents of the account books are all real. When you argue about cleaning yourself up, why don't you think about it? If there is no evidence, why don't you just reveal the truth?"

Many officials had lowered their heads, their faces ashen. They knew what they had done, and knew that what was written on the account books was true. They had only wanted to fight for their lives, and now that they thought about it, if there wasn't any solid evidence, how would Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua dare to dig it out?

Baili Jinchuan's eyes were cold, but he had to admit that both Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi were scheming.

Immediately after, the Death Soldiers and the Dragon Scale Army sent a large amount of silver to the Hall of Acceptance and finalized the contents recorded in the account book. The emperor was naturally furious. Killing a few officials in his rage to vent his anger completely frightened the civil and military officials out of their wits.

However, just when they thought that they were finished, the situation reversed and it was revealed that they had deliberately set fire to the flower pavilion. When the despairing officials heard this, all the hope in their hearts burst forth, and they desperately struggled to clean themselves up.

All sorts of ugly expressions were exposed in front of the emperor as they argued noisily and struggled with all their might. Who could the Emperor trust, with his eloquent words and complete evidence, and his bewilderment? A cold aura burst out from Baili Qingqing's body. He threw the tea cup on the table onto the ground. With a "peng" sound, the porcelain pieces scattered all over the place.

"Please calm your anger, your Imperial Majesty."

"Jun Yi, Xiao Hua, is what you said true?"

"Father, your son and I have never lied to each other," Baili Junyi said firmly. "Even if we don't have the money to testify, the ladies in the pavilion can testify as well. If you don't believe me, you can have these officials strip themselves of their official uniform and change into ordinary clothes so that the ladies can identify them."

Many officials felt the world spinning around them. They had forgotten that even if the account books were fake, there were still the girls from the flower pavilion who had groomed and raised too many women before to kill them.

Baili Qingfeng was enraged, "Good, this is really good. I actually raised a group of useless men, treating the laws of the Great An Country as nothing. What use is there in keeping these people around? What use is there!"

"Your majesty, mercy! This subject knows his wrongs and begs your majesty to spare my life!"

"Your majesty, this humble subject has only been there once; I have only been there once. Please spare my life, Your Majesty."

However, when he saw that almost all of the officials were kneeling down, he did not know how to deal with them. There were too many of them, and too many of them had been implicated this time …

Seeing the hesitation in Baili Qingyuan's voice, Baili Junyi said in a clear voice,

"Father, these people deserve to die. With the salary of the imperial court and the glory that you've bestowed them, they should have died for the sake of the Great An Nation. Who would have thought that not only were they ungrateful, they were also greedy for blood. Where would their large sums of money have come from if they had not been corrupt and bribed? If they did not oppress the people, why did no one go to heaven to listen to them when they had been in conflict with the law for so many years? "

"And the people from the Imperial Censorate? When do they not play a few officials? Their faces are upright and they seem to be able to speak of the injustice of the world. Why is it that such a huge matter is not even mentioned by a single person? "By behaving in such a manner, what difference is there between keeping it and killing it?"

Shen Ninghua felt her heart beat very quickly. She was proud of Baili Junyi, from the bottom of her heart to the bottom of her heart. Such an arrogant and righteous man was her husband, her lover. For the sake of his dream, even if he had to go through Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, she would never regret it!

With a loud bang, Baili JinChuan broke the cup in his hand. The jealousy in his heart grew thicker, almost swallowing him up, he wanted to lure Shen Ninghua's gaze over, wanting her to look at him with the same gaze. If he could win her gaze, he was willing to do anything!

The Third Prince and the others were completely dumbfounded. They didn't know how to react, and didn't know what else to say to refute.

What should they do now?

Baili Qingfeng looked at the kneeling Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua, his eyes filled with pride and regret.

They were proud that they had dared to defy the heavens and denounce the darkness of the officials of the imperial court. They were upset that they were too bold and did not give themselves any leeway.

Seeing the firm expressions of the two children, his heart was suddenly moved. Perhaps it was not that they did not know how to give him leeway, but rather that they wanted to use this matter to leave the capital.

Could it be that they were not afraid of revenge? After leaving the capital and staying away from the Imperial Court, if those officials wanted to take action, it would be as easy as turning their hand.

"Jun Yi, Xiao Hua, you two get up first."

"Yes, royal father."

Baili Junyi helped Shen Ninghua up, but they never let go of each other's hands.

"According to your opinions, how should we deal with this matter?"

Baili Junyi continued, "Imperial Father is the ruler of a nation. The laws of the Great An Empire state that this matter is to be dealt with as you wish."

How could he not know how to deal with all those officials? However, once all of them were dealt with, there would be no one left in the Great An Nation's imperial court at that time. There were many people waiting for their positions, but it was impossible for them to be promoted immediately.

He was in a dilemma. What should he do?

He slowly said, "Imperial Father, Jun Yi's method is direct and the most appropriate. However, once these officials have been dealt with, there will be no one left in the imperial court for the time being. So, it's not really a good idea for many departments to fill their positions."

"Hmm? What can you do? "

A small flame rose in the dead hearts of the officials. If they had a way, then they would be able to survive!

"Father, not all of these officials spend money like dirt or gold. Why don't you make a rule that divides their crimes into three categories."

The most serious category is naturally to be killed, the second-rate plagiarism is to be used for a thousand miles, and it will never be used. As for the third tier, the crime is the least, it can be dealt with leniently, and the family property can be left for them to live on, along with the official position, depending on how they perform in the future.

Once Shen Ninghua's words came out, the officials who had not been to the flowerbed a few times immediately jumped out.

"Princess Zhao Hua's words are reasonable. Your majesty, this humble subject is willing to hand over all of my family property. From now on, I will work diligently and for the sake of the nation and the people. Please give this humble subject another chance."

"This humble subject agrees with Princess Zhao Hua's words. I beg the emperor to give this humble subject another chance."

"Please be merciful, your majesty."

Hundred Miles smirked. There were too many officials involved to kill all of them. Ning Hua's method of sparing their lives was one that included their entire career. With a weakness in the emperor's hands, how could they dare to be unloyal and ungrateful?

If they managed to survive today and commit any mistakes in the future, there would be plenty of time to do so.

A light flashed across Baili QingCang's eyes as he swept his gaze across the excited officials, "You all agree with Princess Zhao Hua's idea?"

"Yes, this subject agrees."
