Chapter 1168: Chapter 1166- Buhui Tribulation

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Within the Imperial City Fenghua Palace, Yinyu was looking at the few documents in front of him expressionlessly.

All the officials stood below with their breaths held.

The storm went from above to below. Numerous people lost their jobs and there were even seven aristocratic families which were wiped out.

Everyone couldn’t help but feel nervous and terrified.

There were even some old officials who were delighted. The current Yinyu was the one they saw when he was young. He was decisive and sharp…

In just a short three days, he wiped out the nervous and evil atmosphere in the court. The aristocratic families who were getting more and more arrogant were all quenched such that they didn’t even dare to make a sound.

After a moment, Yinyu finally placed down the things in his hands.

It is the South Protecting General, Capital Commander Weinan, Weixi, etc., people of the seven states. Shi Qianli sent a letter that he is weak and he wants to resign from his position!”

The officials below were all stunned and they exchanged looks with one another, staying totally silent. The Shi Family rose up during this half a year and they had the aura of the Southwest King.

To resign now, were they prepared to admit defeat to the emperor and show weakness? Or were they planning something else?

To the side of the throne, Shiyue stood solemnly, his face was calm like stone.

“Your Majesty! Shi Qianli is when he is strongest, so why is he talking about himself being old and weak? He is just probing the Imperial Dynasty. This person has nefarious intentions and during the Jiangnan Battle he held the imperial dynasty hostage. Please send a decree to capture him back to the Imperial Capital to question him!”

“Moreover, this position of South Protecting General and Capital Governor is a little too heavy, he rules a whole area. I think we should remove it.”

Shiyue raised his eyelids and took a look at that person. Looking at his robe, he was Rank Seven, however, he didn’t remember his name, only that his surname was Feng.

At this moment, his aura looked really strong, but he would look towards the person at his side.

Shiyue’s eyes shone brightly and then it retracted. He wanted to know what kind of attitude the current Yinyu had towards the Shi Family?

He had the twelve Copper Men and could suppress End Realm Saint Venerables. Before Yinyu had enough Saint Realm cultivators, he couldn’t be considered invincible.

At least the Shi Family couldn’t face off against him, but they were able to safely retreat from the Cloud World.

Yinyu laughed, filled with happiness that people around him couldn’t sense.

He was really pumped up, even the five big families could only bow to him, like lambs who were afraid of being slaughtered.

However, who knew how bad the situation he was in a few months ago?

Forced to give up power, to give seven provinces to the Shi Family. In the dynasty, the officials and aristocratic families pretty much worked together to hold him hostage.

Until this moment when he saw Shi Qianli resign did he feel a sense of anger and annoyance in his body retreat.

“South Protecting General is in charge of protecting Hundred Victory Pass and he has never done anything wrong. Do you want me to punish him for no reason?”

The dark and cold voice caused that surnamed Feng official’s heart to sink.

Yinyu’s tone changed once more.

“However, half of our taxes, seven provinces of strength, tens of millions of troops, we can’t just manage to defend one pass.”

Shiyue was expressionless and guessed what Yinyu meant.

As expected, Yinyu continued, “I have always been clear about Minister Shi’s abilities which is why I rely on him. Is he able to help me get back Jiangnan?”

The moment he said this, the hall was totally silent. Everyone looked towards Shiyue.

Shiyue was helpless and he could only bow, saying solemnly, “If my Father learns of your words, he will definitely go all out!”

“Tell him not to be anxious and only move when he has a plan.”

Yinyu burst out laughing and his eyes were filled with an indiscernible intent, “I heard that the Dark World Demon Court has sent troops to attack Tianfang World. This is a good chance, so I hope your Father doesn’t miss it. Apart from that, I will help gather everything he needs. Be it taxes or troops, as long as your father needs it.”

Shiyue not only wasn’t happy, but instead, his expression became even heavier.

The more flawless Yinyu did things, the less he could say.

If he wasn’t able to take down Jiangnan in three months, being punished was expected.

At that time, Yinyu would have the moral high ground and even if he wiped out their whole family he would be in the right.

A chill rose up in his heart as he bowed once more,”I will definitely tell my father that.”

Only then did Yinyu laugh and he kept the documents in front of him.

At this moment, among the officials, one person stepped out. It was the Hanlin Academy Advisor Zuoxin.

“I have a document!”

He held a document and naturally a eunuch passed it over to Yinyu.

“Jin Buhui didn’t change in jail and even dissed you, saying that you are incapable and don’t listen to wise words, that you ruled for hundred years and became arrogant, that if you continue like this Great Shang will be wiped out. He obviously is filled with grievances against you…”

Yinyu frowned. He took the document and after taking a short look at it, his face alternated between green and white. Each word and sentence was really eye catching.

Such that his robe started to flutter, green veins even popped out of his neck.

“If I continue on and stop governing and start fighting wars, Great Shang would die in three years? Such words!”

However, he calmed down instantly and squinted.

“Zuoxin, this kid is your student, how should we deal with him?”

“He is my disciple but a year again we had split.”

Zuoxin said solemnly, “Even if we were Master and Disciple, I will have to break our relationship. Please cut him at the waist as a warning to other people!”

Shiyue was stunned. Shi Buhui? Cut him at the waist? How is that possible?

He wanted to persuade but he kept silent.

At this moment, the Shi Family couldn’t even protect themselves much less save others?

If Zhongxuan was here, he would try to persuade. However, now who else could stop him?

“Slice him at the waist?”

Yinyu took in a deep breath, his rage still couldn’t be calmed down. He scoffed coldly, “Even him being ripped apart by cars can’t appease my anger. However, after all, he is thinking for the dynasty. I will give you face and behead him! After he dies, hang his head in front of the palace. I want to see whether or not Great Shang would die in three years as what he said!”

Shiyue’s body shook and then he calmed back now. The officials were either all pumped up or they praised His Majesty for being wise. No one objected.
