Everyone's gaze turned to the paper in Gu Ziming's hands. The room instantly became silent. The papers on the floor were a map of the border of the Qi Kingdom and a letter written by the old general!

Gu Ziming's body froze in place. He recognized the handwriting on these two things, it was personally written by the old general. In addition, his father had committed suicide, which meant that his father, Old General Gu Huan, was the traitor!

Lord Qi crouched down and picked up the piece of paper that Gu Ziming had dropped. He gave Gu Ziming a sympathetic look, then left the room. The others all left the old general's room, leaving Gu Ziming alone.

When Gu Ziming was the only person left in the room, his character slowly collapsed onto the ground.

That afternoon, the entire General's Estate was heavily surrounded by the imperial guards. Large numbers of imperial guards stormed into the General's Estate, thoroughly searched every corner of the General's Estate, then took the young general Gu Ziming away.

Within the palace.

Emperor Long Yusheng wore a bright yellow robe as he sat on the Dragon Throne's head. He placed one hand on the Dragon Throne's handle and looked down coldly at Gu Ziming, who was kneeling on the ground.

Bai Dai, who was standing respectfully on the main hall, looked down upon the emperor's ice-cold expression. They didn't dare to look at Long Yusheng. At this moment, anyone could tell that their emperor was angry!

They did not even dare to breathe loudly, fearing that they would anger the high and mighty Emperor.

In Long Yusheng's other hand, he held the letter written by Gu Huan and the map he had drawn of the borders of the Qi Kingdom with his own hands. The map was extremely clear, even the trees on the mountain had been clearly drawn out. Who else could draw such a detailed map other than the old general, Gu Huan?

Long Yusheng threw the paper ball of letters and map in his hand onto Gu Ziming's body. "Gu Ziming, what else do you have to say for yourself?" Long Yusheng coldly questioned Gu Ziming, who was kneeling on the ground.

Gu Ziming didn't even raise his head. "This subject has nothing to say." Now that the evidence had been placed in front of everyone and his father had committed suicide, what more could he say?

Seeing that Gu Ziming didn't even say a word to justify himself, the anger in Long Yinsheng's heart grew even stronger. He snorted disdainfully, "Hmph!" "The evidence of Gu Huan acting as the enemy is clear, Gu Ziming does not know, and his crimes are unforgivable. I take back your military authority and remove your title of young general, demoted to a civilian. All the property of the general's estate will be confiscated, and the general's estate will be reclaimed on a date."

"Your majesty, this subject will vouch with his life that the old general will not betray the kingdom through his enemies. Your majesty, please make clear!" Nanhai walked to the center of the hall and knelt on the ground, begging while looking at the emperor who stood high above them.

"Impudent!" "With human evidence and physical evidence, you still dare to speak up for Gu Huan?" The Emperor's eyes were filled with rage as he coldly stared at Nanhai and questioned.

However, he didn't show the slightest fear as he raised his head and looked at the emperor, enunciating each word with determination. "Your majesty, subject, I believe the old general won't sell out the country to the enemy. I beg the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly once again, and to let the old general have his innocence."

"Father, Sir Nan is right, the old general fought on the battlefield for his country and his people all his life." Father, Sir Nan is right, the old general fought on the battlefield for his country and I do not believe that the old general will betray the country. Long Ao Tian took a step forward, clasped his hands, and said respectfully to the Emperor.

The Emperor's expression slightly shifted, and a wisp of hesitation appeared on his slightly aged face.

The mighty general who stood by the side of the military general slowly walked to the center of the hall and bent down to pick up the map that the emperor had thrown on the ground. He opened it and looked at it, then said, holding it high in his hand, "Your majesty, the evidence of the old general's treason is conclusive. Who could draw such a detailed map today? This subject humbly requests the Emperor to severely punish those who collude with the enemy and sell out the country. "

When the civil and military officials in the hall heard the mighty general Qi Shaowei's words, they clasped their hands together and respectfully begged the emperor, "May the emperor severely punish the traitors of the country." I ask that the Emperor severely punish those who collude with the enemy to sell out their country! "

When the kneeling Southern Sea saw that all the officials begged the emperor to punish Gu Ziming, an unprecedented rage surfaced on his face.

Long Yusheng originally wanted to kill Southern Sea in one attempt to investigate the case of Gu Huan betraying the country, but when he heard that the civil and military officials beneath him were begging him to punish the traitor, the anger in his heart rose once again. He looked expressionlessly at Southern Sea kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "I, I have already decided to remove Young General Gu Ziming's title, and have sealed the general's mansion and bury the old general's corpse in the wilderness."

Hai Yang raised her head and looked at the emperor in disbelief. The old general was so famous, how could he abandon a corpse in the wilderness?

He cupped his fists, wanting to beg the emperor again, but was interrupted by the emperor's cold words.

"Withdraw." Long Yusheng hurriedly left without giving anyone a chance to speak.

Nanhai stood up from the ground and wanted to chase after the Emperor, but he was stopped by Long Ao Tian, who was standing by the side. Long Ao Tian shook his head slightly towards Nanhai, he understood that his father was currently angry, and regardless of who it was, he would not listen, and would have to wait for a period of time before he could bring up this matter. If he prayed to the emperor now, it would only enrage him even more. At that time, the situation would get even worse and there would be no chance for him to turn the situation around.

Nanhai turned around and angrily looked at Long Ao Tian, asking coldly, "Why don't you let me, your majesty? Don't you know that the old general was framed? Let me go! " Southern Ocean shook off Long Ao Tian's hold and ran out of the main hall. He had to beg the Emperor to investigate the case of the old general once again, and even ask for his innocence.

Long Ao Tian looked helplessly at the back of Southern Ocean's figure, explaining, "Of course this prince believes that this old general was framed, it's just that right now my royal father is angry, you can only go find my royal father now and become even more angry with him, why not wait two days, in two days, you and I will personally beg my royal father, at that time my royal father will definitely be angry."

However, Nanhai didn't listen to Long Ao Tian's words at all. He stubbornly ran out of the main hall and to the entrance of the imperial study, but was stopped by the old eunuch standing at the entrance. "Sir Nan, the Emperor won't see anyone today." The old eunuch respectfully said to the Southern Ocean.

Southern Ocean pushed the old eunuch away. "I have important matters to attend to. Today, the Japanese officials must see the emperor!"

"The emperor has already ordered that no one is to be seen. If Sir Nan were to force his way into the imperial study, he would have the intention of assassinating the emperor!" The old eunuch's expression immediately darkened. He stared coldly at the Southern Sea and slowly said.

Nanhai's body suddenly stiffened in place. He didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless. Forcefully barging into the imperial study, he would be caught by the imperial guards in the name of assassinating the emperor!

The old eunuch looked at Nanhai with extreme displeasure, and slowly opened his mouth, "Still not leaving?"

Nanhai helplessly sighed deeply, then turned around and walked out of the palace.
