This year was destined to be a turbulent one!

The Minister of the Right and Wen Jie were both beheaded.

Another high-ranking official was demoted, men were conscripted and sent to the frontier, and women became slaves to the government.

It was rare for an emperor to replace both the left and right prime ministers during his reign!

Many officials were dismissed based on the seriousness of their offenses, execution for those who warranted execution, conscription for those who warranted conscription.

Shen Bao'er was locked up in the government's broker, once she became a slave, her heart was filled with unstoppable resentment towards Xiao'er!

For those like them who became slaves because their families had committed crimes, they would be slaves their whole lives, unable to rid themselves of the slave status.

Even for their descendants, it would take three generations to redeem their slave status!
