C1550 His Majesty Was Confused



C1550 His Majesty Was Confused

At night.    

    

In a luxurious mansion, the spacious hall was brightly lit. At this moment, many people were seated, and the atmosphere was quite lively. Everyone was discussing something.    

    

And the one sitting at the top was the old man who had met Huang Feng during the day. Apart from those who had been invited to the palace, he had also invited some of his students and relatives. These people all held important positions in the imperial court. Upon seeing that everyone had agreed to come, a smug look appeared on his face.    

    

Although he had changed to the Emperor, his position was not as stable as before. Still, no one could shake the person above. Although the war was a little fierce, what could he do about it? He was still about to be taken over by him, yet he dared to disobey him... This time, he wanted to show him that within the imperial court... Who had the final say!    

    

However, this old man was not without worries. That was... After New Emperor ascended the throne, a few new officials appeared in the Imperial Court. These officials were very capable, and they rose very quickly. Furthermore, many of these positions were issued by the Imperial Palace itself. So, even if he had a lot of power and connections in the Imperial Court... None of them can stop those people from rising.    

    

As for those who had just risen up, they were all clearly royalists. They were completely on the Emperor's side, and they supported any of the orders issued by the Emperor. This way, he would naturally be unhappy.    

    

Of course, what the old man didn't know was that many of the orders in the Imperial Palace were made by these people themselves. How could they refute his orders?    

    

"Alright, everyone quiet down." After eliminating the distracting thoughts in his mind, the old man said softly to the hall.    

    

Everyone in the hall immediately looked down and looked at him. This made him feel very pleased in his heart. He still had a lot of prestige in the Imperial Court. Although he was not the Emperor, the Emperor could not ignore him!    

    

"Cough cough, what is the purpose of gathering everyone here today? I think all of you should understand now." That old man said to everyone.    

    

"Understood."    

    

"His Majesty the Emperor is too young, when he declares the Imperial Decree, he was a bit careless"    

    

"That's right. Such a big matter, he actually did not discuss it in the morning court and directly issued the Imperial Decree himself. This is too improper."    

    

Everyone said one after another. Perhaps they felt that after Huang Feng overturned the previous court, if he didn't do anything to them, he still needed them. To help him govern the country, these people seemed to have nothing to fear. When he spoke, his tone didn't show much respect to Huang Feng. Everyone here was older than Huang Feng in terms of respect for New Emperor. Therefore, all of them thought that Huang Feng was better than them. They thought that he was just a reckless man who only knew how to fight.    

    

Because of this, in their point of view, Huang Feng was going to issue some kind of imperial edict. They had already agreed to it, but this time... Huang Feng directly bypassed them and issued a very influential imperial edict. It made them very unhappy, and it also affected their interests. This made them even more unhappy.    

    

"The Emperor is young, so it's normal for him to do something irrational." Not only did the old man not scold the crowd, he also made them respect the Emperor. Instead, he thought that they were right. Huang Feng, who was already in his twenties. In his mouth, he had become young. "However, as subjects, we should remind His Majesty. Let him realize his mistakes and correct them."    

    

"That's right, that should be the case"    

    

"But now, His Majesty is somewhat unable to listen to our words. Regarding that Imperial Decree, he persevered and didn't want to change it at all" Someone said worriedly.    

    

"This is what I'm worried about." The old man said, "Some of you may not know, but I went to see His Majesty this afternoon. I explained the disadvantages of this policy to him. But... His Majesty refused to listen, even if I say it out loud... It's useless. "    

    

"Sigh, His Majesty is muddle-headed!"    

    

"That's right. I don't think he's suitable to be an emperor at all. It's more appropriate to be a general who leads troops to war. Governing a country is not that simple. It's not something a person like them who only knows how to fight can do."    

    

"Brother, be careful with your words!"    

    

"That's right." Although the minister was reminded by his colleagues, he was still filled with righteous indignation. There was no sign of remorse on his face as he said, "He was born to rebel, and his reputation was not good. That was never his. If it wasn't for our help, " He wouldn't have been able to get that position either."    

    

Everyone nodded, they had always believed that... It was their greatest contribution that Huang Feng was able to successfully become the Emperor. That was why Huang Feng didn't dare to change their position. This made them feel even more secure.    

    

"But, everything has already become a fact. Even if we regret it, it's useless now." Another official said.    

    

"Yeah, sigh."    

    

Everyone present was frowning and sighing.    

    

At this moment, the old man in the lead coughed. He told everyone to look at him and then said with a serious face, "This old man was confused at that time. That was why he did such a thing. Now, I am very regretful. That person is not suitable to be the emperor. However, now there is a remedy "    

    

"Grand Preceptor, please tell me what kind of remedy it is."    

    

"That's right. Grand Preceptor, hurry up and say it."    

    

"Everyone knows that when the late Emperor died, there were several generals leading troops outside. Although a few of them later surrendered, but... There were still people who were watching, and recently, one of them sent me a letter... They said that they found the late emperor's son and wanted to support him. Retrieve the throne and overthrow the rule of the previous emperor." The old man said.    

    

"Is that true?"    

    

"That's right. That day when the uprising army entered the city, the previous emperor committed suicide. He did indeed arrange for a few princes to escape."    

    

"Does that mean there is really hope?"    

    

"That's right!"    

    

Everyone looked excited. Of course, there were also some who looked hesitant. They had come here to discuss how to change Huang Feng's mind. However, they had never thought that they would discuss and discuss... It turned into a discussion about how to overthrow Huang Feng's rule and welcome the late emperor's son back.    

    

This made these people feel somewhat afraid. After all, rebellion was inevitable. If Huang Feng found out about this, not only them, but also their families would be in trouble as well.    

    

The old man saw the hesitation on some of the people's faces and said, "You don't have to be afraid. This matter is only known to us. The others don't know about it."
