章 696: Chapter 501: Transcending Heaven and Earth, Seeking Within Oneself_1

As the news spread throughout the world, another period of time passed. During this time, the new Emperor Ji Yuan purged the imperial court, and a huge number of officials and nobility were deposed and beheaded, including the Minister of the War Department, Chen Yuanli, among others.

With the death of King Huai, his faction also declined, and countless individuals close to King Huai—the most loyal followers he once had—were all removed by the new Emperor Ji Yuan during this opportunity.

This time, Ji Yuan showed no mercy. After the experience of the previous events, he gained a deeper understanding of how to be an emperor.

Of course, because so many people were involved in the last affair, less than thirty percent of the court's high-ranking ministers did not take part. If he had killed all involved, the entire Da Xia would have ground to a halt.
