The Saint passed away, and the Eight Prince ascended to the throne, with the Daxia Dynasty barely completing a power succession.
The new Emperor was determined to govern diligently and began to clean up the mess left by the late Emperor, while the Outstanding Officials supporting him gradually stepped onto the stage.
People were shocked to discover that the newly appointed Marquis Weiyuan was none other than Guo Yaozong, the second son of Prince Consort Guo, a man reportedly dead on the Northwest Border!
Guo Yaozong was not dead, and he had even led the remnants of the Guo Family Army to support the new Emperor.
Now, with the new Emperor's succession, the first order of business was to review the case of Prince Consort Guo's alleged treason.
Guo Yaozong presented a series of evidence and even brought the Deputy General bribed by He Xi as a witness.
