Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System

Suddenly, all his teeth were shattered.

The intense pain made the old man, who was over 60 years old, pass out on the spot.

This brought complete silence.

Prince Dayou, seated in the hall, heard no sound from outside, and only then did he glance again at the people kneeling on the ground.

This time, when his gaze swept over them, before he could say anything or make any move, they all prostrated themselves.

Simultaneously, they loudly hailed Prince Dayou, declaring their willingness to sacrifice everything for him.

They claimed that they were all misled by the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and deceived by him, hence their previous actions.

Now, they deeply understood the seriousness and the mistakes, and pledged never to commit similar errors again.

Some even stepped forward to enumerate the crimes of Prince Ning.

This delighted Prince Dayou immensely.

He could never have imagined that the trusted subordinates of Prince Ning were now speaking against him in front of him, how could this not bring him joy?

When those criticizing Prince Ning saw the slight smile on Prince Dayou's face, their hearts settled.

It turns out Prince Dayou wanted to hear this, that's easy enough, though they had followed Prince Ning closely, Prince Ning was already gone now.

Instead of being dragged away for punishment or dismissed from office, they might as well thoroughly criticize Prince Ning's crimes. At the very least, it would preserve their life and status, wouldn't it? Heh, why not?

It was because of this that after these people finished speaking, Prince Dayou smiled, and the other previously silent officials also stepped forward to enumerate Prince Ning's crimes.

One by one, case by case, making Prince Dayou's expression grow increasingly excited, until finally, he burst out in hearty laughter:

"Very good, it seems all your years of patience were worth it. Since you have gathered so many charges against Prince Ning, why not compile them and report them to me in detail.

Due to Prince Ning's egregious crimes, I have decided to exclude him from the Imperial Family.

Furthermore, I am issuing a decree to demote him to a commoner; he has no connection to our Royal Family."

Not only that, Prince Dayou not only expunged the already slain Prince Ning from the royal lineage but also intended to publicize his crimes and conduct a public trial.

In his mind, at this moment, he thought that if he handled Prince Ning's matter beautifully, he would surely receive the Heavenly Dao's approval.

After all, everything he'd done was in accordance with the Heavenly Dao's will.

With the precedent set by the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the other ministers had no objections to his words.

Additionally, many even applauded.

This fully confirms the phrase "a person dies, the tea gets cold."

After briefly discussing some matters, Prince Dayou dismissed these people with a wave of his hand.

No one could have imagined that within such a short period, the powers intertwined in the Dayou Dynasty had dramatically reversed.

It was a dramatic change.

Prince Ning's influence completely collapsed, while the once weaker Prince Dayou instantly became the most influential person in Dayou State.

At this moment, he had truly become the king of Dayou.

After dismissing all the officials, Prince Dayou didn't idle but immediately prepared to go to Qingtian Jian.

He was somewhat uneasy and wanted to personally check on the progress of the heavenly sacrifice, and he planned to increase the offerings.

All of this seemed arranged by heaven, leading to a profound reverence for the divine.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi and Leng Yu had just returned to the Border Army Camp, coincidentally at lunchtime.

Though they had visited the Capital City, they were still famished.

When they arrived, they encountered unexpected issues, making eating a meal or even taking a stroll a luxury.

That's why Lin Yi was quite hungry at this time, and upon seeing the cooking, he immediately headed over.

Since they had just returned and the place had been raided, they chose to live collectively rather than separately.

Thus, they continued the practice of communal cooking.

This meant that nearly a thousand people were cooking in one place.

But as Lin Yi was approaching, he was suddenly taken aback.

He inhaled deeply, then turned to Leng Yu, puzzled, and asked:

"Eh? Do you smell that? I'm getting a seafood scent."

Indeed, Lin Yi smelled a delicious seafood aroma.

This surprised him, not understanding why they would cook seafood here. Had their living conditions improved?

But they had only been back for a day, how could they possibly have seafood so soon?

Upon hearing Lin Yi's question, Leng Yu sniffed as well, then frowned slightly and said:

"I smell it too, alas! They must be low on food, and had to catch seafood as a necessity.

Sometimes, when supplies run out, people go out to sea to catch food. Though it's not tasty, it's better than going hungry."

Upon hearing this from Leng Yu, Lin Yi was utterly stunned, standing frozen in place, even stopping involuntarily.

He then turned his gaze to Leng Yu, his eyes seemingly speaking:
