Chapter 75

In the Hall of Palace court, civil and military officials were locked in a heated debate.

The Crown Prince insisted on the immediate execution of Yun Houxing and Wang Sheng, along with their associates.

However, the Court of Judicial Review submitted a memorial, requesting a suspension of Yun Houxing's execution to reinvestigate the treason case involving the Zhen Guo Marquis family.

"Ridiculous!" one official exclaimed. "That so-called confession is dubious at best. Even if it's genuine, what does it prove? It merely adds to Yun Houxing's list of crimes!"

"The Zhen Guo Marquis family's defeat in the northern frontier led to the deaths of 100,000 soldiers. They deserved death as atonement for their failure!"
