"What's there to be afraid of? Even if that person knows... So what? He can still dismiss so many of us? Then who will handle government affairs for him?" One of the officials said with disdain, his mouth no longer showing any respect to Huang Feng. He had called ___ "His Majesty" before, but now he said that person.    

"That's right. Can he withdraw all of us?"    

"Everyone, right now, Your Majesty, I admit that he has some skills in leading troops. However, war and governance are two different things. He has just become the emperor not long ago. If we wait too long for such a thing to happen... When he completely took control of the Imperial Court... At that time, who knows how many inappropriate decisions he will make? " The old man looked at the crowd and said.    

"That's right. He has only just stepped onto the stage, yet he has already made a move on our interests. What will happen in the future?" The others agreed.    

In the past, only scholars could be officials, but there were businessmen in the family. It was not allowed to take the examinations, which made many scholars think that they were better than others. They looked down on those businessmen, but now Huang Feng wanted to change this situation. He wanted to promote those businessmen and allow them to do business on a large scale. He also allowed them to pass the examinations and even become officials. Think about it. In the future, there will be those people with the stench of copper in their colleagues... These people and officials were unhappy.    

You have to know, before this, no matter what their net worth was, but... They were always looking down on those merchants. This had given them a great comfort in their hearts. And now, Huang Feng wanted to change this situation. Of course, they didn't agree.    

When the old man saw the reaction of the people below, he was also very happy in his heart. He had decided to support the prince of the previous dynasty to take back the throne. Of course, it was not only because of what he had said. In fact, although he was angry that Huang Feng wanted to promote those businessmen, however, it wasn't to the extent where he wanted to rebel. In his opinion... Anyway, he was below one person, even if those businessmen had a higher status. It wouldn't affect him.    

The real reason why he decided to support those princes was that those princes were very young. They were easy to control, and the generals of the previous dynasty were just the leading soldiers. It was easy to solve the problem. If that was the case, once those princes ascended the throne... He would be able to control the emperor behind the scenes and make the emperor in front of the stage a puppet. At that time, the entire world would be his.    

However, the current Huang Feng had a lot of ideas. It was not something he could control. He could tell that ___ was praising the merchants. Huang Feng's decision did not even go through his own hands. He felt like he had been taken over by someone else. It made him very unhappy. At this moment, the generals contacted him. He didn't hesitate too much and agreed. This was his wishful thinking.    

"Alright, since everyone already understands the importance of this... Now, let me say something. Those who are willing to welcome back the prince of the previous dynasty... Stand on my side. Those who are unwilling, I won't force them. You can leave now, but regarding tonight's matter... You can't say a single word! " Grand Preceptor stared at the crowd and said.    

Everyone was discussing amongst themselves. After all, this kind of rebellion was related to the fate of the families behind them. No one dared to be careless, even those who had been clamoring to support Grand Preceptor. When it was time to make a decision, they were somewhat hesitant.    

"Damn it, let's do it!" An official suddenly stood up and said, "The current emperor is looking down on us too much. I think when he takes control of the situation... Sooner or later, he will kick us all out of the court. Instead of waiting for him to make a move... Let's make the first move!"    

"Yes, I support him too!" Another official stood up and said, "We can't just watch as the things that belong to us are taken away so directly!"    

The first two to stand up were more or less related to the royal family of the previous dynasty. So, of course, they hoped to overthrow Huang Feng and welcome the prince back. However, the words of these two men had aroused the interest of many people. Indeed, looking at Huang Feng's current state, it seemed like he would be in full control of the Imperial Court. At that time, it was very likely that he would make a move on them. Instead of waiting for Huang Feng to kick them out of the court in a sorry state, it was better to make a move first.    

"I agree too!"    

"Count me in!"    

"Me too!"    

One by one, the officials stood up. Some of them had really thought it through. The reason why they decided to attack first was also because they were influenced by the surrounding people. If everyone had made such a decision, then this decision was definitely not wrong. Thus, he agreed.    

And there weren't many officials who had yet to make a stand. There was hesitation on their faces, obviously they hadn't thought it through.    

"Everyone, since you don't want to join us, please go back. I hope you remember not to tell anyone about what happened tonight." Grand Preceptor said.    

"We can't let them go!" At this time, an official who had expressed his stance suddenly pointed at one of them and said, "This Liu, I see that he has been very close to those new officials recently. He must have wanted to seek refuge with the new emperor. Once he left, he will definitely tell everyone about us! "    

"Right, we can't let him leave, otherwise, we're all finished"    

"No, I didn't!" The official with the surname Liu stood up in fear, his face somewhat pale. Seeing that everyone wanted to kill him, he hurriedly explained: "My actions were completely due to administrative matters, and that person was my superior. I can't possibly not report my work to him. "    

"Hmph, stop quibbling. Do you think we will believe it? You're just a fence-sitter. When you see those people being put in an important position by the new Emperor, you want to curry favor with them! "    

"Kill him!"    

"[Right, kill him!]"    

Everyone was starting to get hot-headed because of the rebellion. Therefore, when they saw that someone wanted to get rid of the new Huang Feng, they all clamored to kill this person.    

"No, I didn't. Don't kill me!" That person was so scared that his legs went soft.    

However, it was useless for him to beg for mercy. One of the people who was closer to him... He drew his sword and stabbed at the man. The man's face was filled with disbelief. He did not expect... These people would attack him as soon as they said so. After all, they had been discussing passionately just now... They were close colleagues, but in the end, in just a short period of time... These people actually wanted to kill him... And... They even attacked!    

"Those who want to join, each stab will count as a sign of allegiance. No one can go back on their word." The first person to make a move said.    

"Right, we'll do that!" Everyone agreed. They were also afraid that there would be traitors among their colleagues. Thus, after accepting this pledge of allegiance, everyone felt more at ease.    

The old man sitting at the head did not express anything. It could be considered that he tacitly agreed to this suggestion.    

Thus, those who agreed to rebel each stabbed at the official who had already died. It could be considered as a declaration of allegiance. However, these people were usually high and mighty officials. They didn't even know how to kill chickens. Thus, seeing so much blood at this time... Some of them even threw up in an unsightly manner.    

As for the remaining people who wanted to rebel and leave, at this moment... No one dared to say they wanted to leave. When they saw those people looking at them... They were so scared that they immediately stood up and expressed their support in welcoming the late Emperor's son back. They were certain that if they were to say that they were leaving at this moment... They would definitely be killed on the spot by these people who had lost their minds... After all, only death could be kept a secret.    

"Very good. It seems that everyone has the same opinion. Since that's the case... Let's discuss what we should do next." The old man in the lead looked at everyone's performance with satisfaction and said. These people would have to listen to him. When the prince who was welcomed back became the emperor... He would be the Retired Emperor, and he would have the final say in everything. In fact, if he was unhappy, he could even change the emperor. He could change to a more obedient one.    

When he thought about how powerful he would become in the future, the corner of the old man's mouth curled up proudly.    

"Oh, they're all here. So many people, it's quite lively." Just as that old man was fantasizing about his reign over the world, he suddenly heard one. This voice shouldn't have appeared here at all. It suddenly appeared. It scared him so much that he almost cried out.    

At first, he thought that he was hallucinating. However, when he looked at the door, he saw a familiar figure walk in. That figure shouldn't have been here. However... And now, it had appeared.    

"You, why are you here?" The old man stuttered as he asked, his eyes filled with fear. Normally, when he encountered something big, he would be very calm, but now, his expression was extremely unsightly.    

However, at this moment, no one else present laughed at him. This was because their performance at this time was not much better than this old man's. Each and every one of them looked at the person who came with a terrified expression.    

"Me? The palace is too stuffy. I came out to take a walk, but I didn't expect this place to be so lively. You guys are having a gathering at this time? Why didn't you call me? A gathering like this is my favorite." The person ignored the frightened crowd around him and the corpses on the ground. With a smile on his face, he walked towards the old man sitting at the head of the table.    

The old man looked at the person who came with an uncertain expression. No one knew what he was thinking. After a long while, he stood up shakily and knelt down towards the person who came. He shouted loudly, "This lowly subject welcomes Your Majesty."    

The person who came was Huang Feng! He was the person they had just discussed!    

The officials hesitated for a moment before kneeling down and loudly shouted, "This lowly subject welcomes Your Majesty!"    

"Get up, all of you get up, you are already so old. Wouldn't it be bad to kneel?" Huang Feng said with a smile. Then, he sat down on the seat of the old man. The old man stood up with a trembling body and bent down to stand by the side.
