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.
