The Sorrowmender

PAID Chapter 182

The next morning at court, the four Dukes jointly submitted their resignations, requesting to retire and return to their hometowns, while the other ministers watched the spectacle unfold—

Just when most people thought His Majesty would agree, a dramatic scene played out.

The emperor stated that recently, with Duke Wei resigning and Duke Qin causing chaos, the court was in turmoil. If the remaining four Dukes were to resign, the Six Dukes would be leaderless, the ancestral temple would lack oversight, and the court would certainly become unstable.

Using this as a reason, he righteously rejected the four Dukes' request, and in his words, he did not forget to warn them not to bring up the matter again, or else they would be guilty of disrupting the court.

This frightened the four Dukes considerably, and angered them as well. After the morning court session ended, they hurried back to their residences, cursing along the way, clearly very upset.

"I don't know what His Majesty is thinking. Hasn't he always wanted to remove the thorn of the Six Dukes? What a great opportunity! What harm would it do to let them go? Why insist on keeping them in the capital to continue causing trouble?"

"Are you foolish or is His Majesty foolish? Now that the four Dukes have lost power, they are already like stray dogs in the capital. How much trouble can they cause? If they were released back to their fiefs, who knows what they might do."

"Indeed, the four Dukes are imitating Duke Wei, but they lack his magnanimity and courage. How laughable! Do they really think everyone in the world is as foolish as they are? Ha!"

"First, Duke Wei resigned and retired, then Duke Qin's entire family was executed. In such turbulent times, they still dare to challenge His Majesty, and on top of that, they try to play clever tricks. How foolish."
