Chapter 385: Death of Su Dingxia
As soon as Jiang Chen said this, the next second, Su Dingxia's chest was pierced by a sharp sword blade.
Looking at the long sword stuck in his chest, Su Dingxia began to cough violently.
“Cough cough cough…”
"In my life, I have never admired anyone."
"Jiang Chen, you are the first and the last..."
Before Su Dingxia could finish his words, he died with a smile on his face.
Looking at Su Dingxia who had lost her life, Qinglong drew his sword.
…
After Baihu dragged Su Dingxia's body away.
Jiang Chen sent someone to send Yu Anmin back to the bedroom and put him under strict surveillance.
And he himself came to the Golden Palace.
It was already bright at this time, after learning that the northern army had already invaded the capital.
All the civil and military officials of the Xia Kingdom gathered in the Golden Palace at the first opportunity.
He just stood in the same position as he had in the morning court, waiting to be received by Jiang Chen.
After waiting for a long time, all the officials had become a little impatient.
Their hearts were already filled with resentment...
But out of fear of Jiang Chen, and the sharp weapons in the hands of the 5,000 soldiers of the Royal Guard Battalion next to him.
These ministers had no choice but to suppress their anger.
Finally, after a group of Xia ministers had waited, Jiang Chen slowly walked in.
Under the gaze of the ministers of the Xia Kingdom, Jiang Chen stepped up to the dragon throne step by step.
After turning around and sitting on the dragon throne, Jiang Chen stretched lazily first.
As a powerful acquired master, although he had not slept all night , he was still full of energy.
However, in front of a group of officials, Jiang Chen deliberately pretended to be bored and yawned.
The officials looked at Jiang Chen who didn't take them seriously at all.
Suddenly, they became even more angry, and some even glared at Jiang Chen.
After feeling the gazes of some people below, Jiang Chen smiled coldly.
Before everyone could react, Jiang Chen waved his hand.
The next second, the five thousand guards rushed forward.
All the Xia ministers who glared at Jiang Chen were arrested.
Faced with Jiang Chen's sudden action , the other ministers began to tremble.
"Since you are not convinced, I will not tolerate you one by one."
"All of them should be taken away by me and thrown into prison."
"When I am happy, I will release them!"
Following Jiang Chen's order, all the soldiers of the Royal Guard Battalion bowed and accepted the order.
Seeing that they were about to be dragged away, these people began to beg for mercy loudly.
Just then, an old man standing in the line of civil servants came out.
It was none other than Yuan Taifu, a veteran of five dynasties and one of the Three Dukes!
After Master Yuan came out, he pointed at Jiang Chen's nose and started cursing.
"Jiang Chen, you traitor!"
"It's fine that you started a rebellion to overthrow the Xia Kingdom, but now you want to murder the loyal officials of the Xia Kingdom!?"
As the officials listened to Master Yuan's angry scolding of Jiang Chen, they all prayed silently for the old man in their hearts.
But among these people, there were also some who wished to see Master Yuan punished immediately.
As an upright old man, Yuan Taifu has always been known for his integrity.
However, this reputation and his straightforward character.
This caused him to offend many people in the court of the entire Xia Kingdom.
Just when everyone thought that Master Yuan was finished this time.
Jiang Chen's choice caught everyone off guard.
Facing Master Yuan's accusations, Jiang Chen just smiled nonchalantly.
Then he slowly stood up and came in front of Master Yuan.
In front of Master Yuan, he took a thick stack of documents from the hands of an "Ant Hole" member who was covered in a cloak.
"Master Yuan, I suggest you take a look at these things first!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen handed the stack of documents to Master Yuan.
Tutor Yuan took it with some doubt and began to read it carefully.
As he watched, Master Yuan couldn't help but frown.
The more he looked, the more something seemed wrong on Master Yuan's old face.
Seeing the ugly look on Yuan Taifu's face, the ministers who were not dragged away became confused.
What on earth could make Master Yuan’s face look so ugly?
Just when everyone was confused, Master Yuan started to curse loudly in anger.
"These damned parasites, I thought they were all loyal to my Xia country!"
"Now it seems that I am blind!!"
Yuan Taifu said this angrily while throwing the document in his hand.
It hit hard on the faces of several officials who had not yet been dragged away.
It turned out that it was on the stack of documents that Jiang Chen gave to Tutor Yuan.
All the records are evidence of these officials secretly embezzling money, accepting bribes, and betraying the country!
That is why after seeing these evidences, Master Yuan became so furious.
After venting his anger, Yuan Taifu finally calmed down a little.
For Master Yuan, this matter was simply unacceptable.
He never expected that those people whom he thought were loyal and honest would...
In fact, he had already sold out many of Xia Country’s interests just for his own selfish desires!
Jiang Chen looked at Master Yuan, whose face turned red with anger, and spoke loudly.
"Taifu Yuan, although Yu Anmin is indeed a good emperor."
"But I think he is too soft-hearted!"
"If he had a stronger heart, how could these corrupt officials be so arrogant?!"
As Jiang Chen finished speaking, Master Yuan instantly became mute.
Faced with Jiang Chen's words, he really couldn't find any words to refute.
In the heart of this loyal minister of the Xia royal family, what Jiang Chen said was undoubtedly the truth.
Since Yu Anmin ascended the throne, the national strength of the entire Xia Kingdom has indeed begun to recover slowly.
However, the soft-hearted Yu Anmin could not be considered a qualified emperor after all.
During the years he was on the throne , those officials did not restrain themselves.
Instead, they have become more and more rampant, almost lawless.
They did it in front of Yu Anmin, under his nose.
He sucked the blood of the people of Xia State to satisfy his own selfish desires.
In order to ensure the stability of Xia State, Yu Anmin did not deal with these guys.
As long as these people don't go too far, he will turn a blind eye.
But for Jiang Chen, he simply could not tolerate such a thing happening!
That's why Jiang Chen took this opportunity today.
In one fell swoop, all the parasites and black sheep of the Xia State were captured at once.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Yuan Taifu looked at Jiang Chen with some shame, not knowing what to say.
But Jiang Chen spoke to Master Yuan.
"I pushed Yu Anmin to this position, but since he can't do a good job, I have no choice but to replace him!"
