Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Execution Inquiry at the Meridian Gate_1
The tire Imperial City had succumbed to a storm.
On the day wh the Emperor was offering sacrifice to his ancestors, the Minister of War, the Chief of Staff, and many other officials astonishingly rebelled, attempting to assassinate him at the eastern city gate. However, their rebellion was brutally suppressed by Chu Yuan, and they ded up being imprisoned.
Previously, the six ministries and the Forbidd Army showed reluctance in investigating the rebellion led by Chu Yuan. Perhaps they had assumed that he would not take it too seriously.
But wh the imperial edict was issued, would the Forbidd Army and the six ministries dare to disobey it?
Bearing in mind that ev Pang Yuan, a master of divine abilities, was suppressed by the Emperor in person, they could hardly make waves.
Chu Yuan had memories of the past three years and knew exactly who had betrayed Dawu. He was simply dealing with them methodically. He immediately instructed Lu Qianfu to arrest those on his list.
Wh Lu Qianfu received this list, his face was solemn. He knew that the names on the list were doomed.
Thirty years into the Great Martial Caldar, on the thirteth day of the tth month. Twty days had passed since the battle at the Eastern City Gate.
The thorough investigation within the court gradually came to an d, and most of the evidce had be collected.
Chu Yuan used this opportunity not only to root out those who intded to rebel but also to dismiss a large number of gerals and faction members associated with the Prime Minister, replacing them with his own people.
Regarding Chu Yuan's dismissals, the two kept silt and ev claimed to be ill, not appearing in public for these twty days.
Their moods were dreadful. They had hinted at Liu Yong and Pang Yuan to calm down, bide their time, and wait. However, it was unexpected that they would dare to carry out an assassination attempt at the Eastern City Gate.
Not only did they d up in the Imperial Prison, but they also ruined the foundation that the two of them had worked so hard to build over the decades.
As we all know, the four countries of Daqian have be preparing for war.
But dare they speak up at such a time?
Chu Yuan is at the height of his power, and among the people of Dawu, his image is like that of a deity, a savior of the world. Who amongst those in the court would dare challge him in the future? His prestige has already surpassed the previous Emperor to some extt.
If the previous Emperor was the founder of the dynasty, th Chu Yuan is the savior of the dynasty.
At this momt, at the Turret Gate of the Imperial City, a bloody banner was flying, and the thirty-thousand Divine Martial Army all appeared at the Turret Gate. Ev millions of civilians congregated there.
Because today was the day of execution, and those to be executed were the key figures in the court.
In all dynasties, regardless of the dynasty, treason is most abhorred and a severe crime, which is punishable by confiscation of property, execution, and the extermination of the traitor's clan. These people initially assumed that the downfall of Dawu was a foregone conclusion, but they did not expect Chu Yuan to rise to the occasion.
At this momt, over a hundred people were being escorted to the Turret Gate, all of them were well-known and notorious figure in Dawu.
The purge resulted in the capture of Pang Yuan and Liu Yong, as well as several marquises such as the Marquis of the Eternal Joy, the Marquis of Heyang, and the Marquis of Tiger Might, all who were in secret contact with Daqian, discussing how to divide up the spoils after the fall of Dawu.
"Humph! Those people are joying Dawu's salaries and gains secretly. At the weakest momt of the court, they are actually colluding with the emy. They are simply courting death!"
"They are eating the emperor's food, doing the emperor's work, as soon as they see Dawu is in trouble, they prepare to fly away on their own. They have no responsibility at all!"
"But thankfully, our new monarch is wise and martial, he has the ability to sweep across all territories. He is Dawu's good fortune and more so, the blessing of billions of ordinary people in Dawu!"
.....
"Boom!"
As noon approached, the closed gate of the turret oped with a bang, and a figure walked out slowly without the aid of a dragon chariot.
"The Emperor is coming!"
Chu Yuan, who had not be se for twty days, radiated an aura of profound mystery. An intse aura of dominance immediately spread out.
He was the Supreme Sovereign of Humanity, the true king of mankind, possessing the qualities of a monarch's overbearing and rightful dominance.
Chu Yuan has arrived!
"Pang Yuan, Liu Yong, Marquis of the Eternal Joy, Marquis of Heyang, Marquis of Tiger Might, and a total of one hundred and eighte people, are colluding with the four countries of Daqian, intt on rebellion. These traitors should be killed and their families exterminated."
The voice of Chu Yuan echoed everywhere, "And today, I shall be the executioner!"
"Mercy, Your Majesty!"
"We were momtarily confused and were deceived by Daqian. Otherwise, we would not dare to rebel, ev if we were giv thousands of courage!"
"Your Majesty, as long as you spare us this time, we are willing to lose our lives for Dawu, ev dying in battle!"
...
Wh the more than a hundred people on the Turret Gate heard that Chu Yuan was going to execute them, most of them burst into tears. Not only were they of noble status, but they also had strong martial arts skills. Their betrayal of Dawu was out of unwillingness to be destroyed along with it.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Liu Yong was pale and afraid at this point. "Spare your servant this time. Giv my diligce this time, please let me off this once. I am willing to be your horse and ox!"
Liu Yong truly did not want to die.
In his heart, he harbored deep hatred, especially for the Prime Minister and the Grand Geral, who watched him go to the execution platform without lifting a finger to help.

"Ha ha, dog emperor, if you want to kill, th kill, victory belongs to the winner, this time I, Pang Yuan, was on the losing side. Isn't it just death? I'm not afraid!"
Pang Yuan's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Ev in death, I won't close my eyes. I want to see with my own eyes how Daqian will invade Dawu, how they will depose you, and how they will sever your dog head to keep me company in the grave!"
"Pang Yuan, can't you ev beg for the emperor's mercy? I really don't want to die!"
If Liu Yong was not being restrained, he would have rushed to bite Pang Yuan and shut him up.
"If it wasn't for your beast-like useless son, we wouldn't be in such a predicamt today!"
Dog bites dog, a mouthful of fur.
"For treason, execution is the stce."
With a wave of his hand, Chu Yuan made a cutting gesture and said in a cold tone, "Noon has arrived. Execute them!"
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Upon the royal decree, the executioner's blade fell on the Turret Gate. One by one, the heads of m who died with eyes wide op fell from their necks, rolling a.
"Little emperor, may you not die peacefully! You're so ruthless. Ev if I die, I won't let you off. As the Marquis of Eternal Joy, I fought alongside the previous Emperor to conquer the world. I can't believe I finally died at your hands. I won't close my eyes in death.
Ev if I go to hell, I will curse you and curse you to the death!"
The Marquis of Eternal Joy roared.
"If you knew this would happ, why did you take that risk?" Chu Yuan said coldly, "If there is a hell, it should be trampled flat."
The next momt, his head rolled off.
Shrieking, weeping, howling, cursing...
More than a hundred heads were cut off and rolled down, turning the Turret Gate into a river of blood. It was a gruesome sight.

"Host has completed the evt, received two thousand Destiny Points, Sealing Gods Monumt."
"Currt balance of Destiny Points, 350 points."
