The Six Ministers were naturally overjoyed, while Chen Zhuo and the other officials looked grave.
Standing at the forefront, Lv Huaiyu and Zhuang Jingming kept their eyes lowered in silence.
As the boisterous atmosphere gradually calmed, Emperor Wu Lie spoke, "Today's court session is merely to put your minds at ease. I am well aware of the state of my health, and I fear my days are numbered... cough, cough, in these tumultuous times, until the Crown Prince can shoulder the responsibilities alone, the affairs of the court will still trouble the Empress."
"..."
The faces of the Six Ministers turned red as if their throats had been clutched.
At that moment, Emperor Wu Lie seemed to recall something and said, "Speaking of this, I have heard that a newcomer has risen in court, achieving remarkable feats, unmatched in fame. It seems to be the Thousand Households of the Sky Scale Guard, named... Chen Mo?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuo's heart trembled, and he sidestepped to the forefront, stating, "That is indeed my son, Your Majesty. You overpraise him; it was merely luck that he managed to solve a few cases by chance."
Emperor Wu Lie waved his hand, smiling warmly, "Luck itself is part of one's ability, Mr. Chen, you needn't be modest... cough, cough, I wonder if Chen Mo has come to court today?"
Chen Zhuo replied, "In response to Your Majesty, my son has gone to the Southern Border to eradicate the Gu God Sect and has yet to return."
"Is that so?" Emperor Wu Lie slightly raised an eyebrow and looked at a man in a fur coat, pale-faced, asking, "Mr. Wei, what is the situation in the Southern Border?"
Only then did the crowd notice that Wei Xuan, the Heavenly Qilin Guard Commander who never meddled in political affairs, had actually come to court today?
It was just that his presence was too restrained, and the ministers at the back had not noticed!
Wei Xuan adjusted his robe and spoke calmly, "Based on the current information, Chen Mo has demolished several strongholds of the Gu God Sect in Tiannan State, killed thousands of Demon Sect demons, and then consecutively defeated four Grandmasters in the state city of Nantu State, personally executing a First-Grade Gu Cultivator, Yin Tiankou..."
"By the way, this also included a Mystic Armor Guard Commander who was turned by the Demon Sect."
Whether intentional or not, he didn't mention the Barbarian Slave affair.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Peizhi and others were shocked!
If they remembered correctly, Chen Mo himself had only recently broken into the Third Grade, hadn't he?
To have consecutively defeated four Grandmasters? Including a veteran First Grade?
Isn't that a bit too exaggerated!
