บท 420: Such a Decree?

"Where is Brother Nianzu?" Rong Zemin asked Jian Guozhi, who did not know. "The Court will soon start," he stated. "Love has blinded him. He should have been respectful towards our father," asserted Rong Zemin. Jian Guozhi hummed at him. 

The Ministers started to come. They greeted each other and took their respective places. The Emperor came soon, and everyone bowed in front of him. The Emperor sat on the throne and told them to raise their heads. "Today, there is something I would like to announce in the Court," Han Wenji pronounced and gestured to Eunuch Jin, who handed him the scroll.

"What is it, your majesty? It seems to be an important decree," Gu Zhenya asserted. 

"Yes, it is an important one," Han Wenji replied. Suddenly, the doors of the Courtroom opened and a soldier came inside. The Ministers and the Princes turned to gaze at the soldier, who stopped in the middle of the Courtroom.
