"In a short period of time, he has amassed 100,000 followers!"
"As for the Western Chu side, the Yan Family, which had once submitted to Western Chu, has now unified the entire Southwest Dao!"
"The Confucian Immortal Gu Chen has reappeared in the martial world, establishing the Confucian Sect in Western Chu! He calls upon all scholars to join him!"
"Northern Que has been entrenched in the Beyond Heaven, always seeking to open the gates of my Northern Li Kingdom, waiting for an opportunity to strike!"
"How did we, the Northern Li, unify this world in the first place? And who did we rely on?"
"Ye Yu, the God of Slaughter, whose might shakes the world, conquered and destroyed the Northern Que."
"But we've cut off our own arm!"
"Fear, suspicion, and false accusations against Ye Yu for treason!"
"Next, should we also take action against the Marquis of the Marquis Zhenxi's Manor? Until we have no one Northern Li!"
Xiao Ruo Feng was visibly agitated.
He genuinely wanted to rouse these guys who were still basking in the glory of Northern Li's successive conquests of Northern Que, Western Chu, and Southern Jue.
They simply can't see that the world has changed!
The era when Northern Li absolute power for fifteen years is over.
But some people just can't see the bigger picture.
Or perhaps they simply don't want to see things clearly.
He stood up and retorted:
"Fallacy!"
"My Northern Li rule over all directions, its might shakes the world. Who dares to disobey? Who dares to disrespect me?"
"These mere remnants can be wiped out with a wave of the hand!"
Xiao Ruo Feng had no intention of arguing.
Can it be destroyed with a wave of the hand?
But what does Northern Li have now to wipe out these forces?
Above.
Emperor Tai An coughed.
"I understand."
"You mean you want me to acknowledge the King Qing's mistakes?"
"Furthermore, it demands that I admit my mistakes."
"Is that so?"
Immediately, the court and the public fell silent.
Inside the main hall, you could hear a pin drop; everyone was afraid of making the slightest sound and angering Emperor Tai An.
"Good."
Emperor Tai An gave Xiao Ruo Feng a deep look.
Many thoughts flashed through my mind.
He stood up weakly and said, "Then I admit my mistake!"
"Issue this Edict of Self-Blame!"
"The case of Great General Ye Yu's alleged treason is based on false charges and lacks sufficient evidence; it is a misjudgment by me..."
"I am filled with remorse."
"From this day forward, I will no longer hold court!"
"All affairs of the court shall be entrusted to... King of Langya Xiao Ruo Feng!"
Below.
The assembled officials and ministers were all shocked.
Emperor Tai An actually issued Edict of Self-Blame!
Furthermore, entrusting all affairs of the court to King of Langya, Xiao Ruo Feng Xiao Ruo Feng, is tantamount to indirectly naming him as the future King of Langya!
But Xiao Ruo Feng clearly went to court today.
They're here to help Ye Dingzhi!
Why would His Majesty allow Xiao Ruo Feng to take over the affairs of the court?
But all eyes turned to the group of young men who had entered the hall.
That's when I realized.
Among the newcomers were not only Ye Dingzhi, but also Baili Dongjun!
Standing behind him was the Marquis Zhenxi's Manor!
And then there's Lei Mengsha, who, although he's severed ties with the Thunder Sect, is still one of the Eight Princes of Northern Li!
I have a wide circle of friends!
And there was also the sword that Ye Dingzhi was holding...
That's the sword of the Academy Second Master!
Behind them stood the Academy! And behind them stood the Second Mister!
Only then did the assembled officials realize why His Majesty had not blamed the King of Langya.
So this was His Majesty's true plan!
What harm is there in him Edict of Self-Blame self-reproach?
As long as King of Langya Xiao Ruo Feng ascends the throne, this world, this Northern Li, will still belong to the Xiao family!
The Northern Li of the Xiao Clan!
Moreover, it will only be more powerful than when Emperor Tai An was on the throne!
Not only will they receive the support of the Marquis Zhenxi's Manor.
Even Ye Dingzhi would inevitably be indebted to him.
Emperor Tai An... he was truly cunning and shrewd!
Just when things seemed to have settled down in the imperial court.
Suddenly, the Bu Ran Chen at Baili Dongjun's waist emitted a series of sword cries.
It seems to be in Tian Qi City.
A legendary sword, powerful enough to shake the world, is about to be born.
All the longswords were trembling.
Only the Wangshu Sword held in Ye Dingzhi's hands.
There was no sound whatsoever.
"What's going on? Go out and see," Xiao Ruo Feng said, frowning.
Immediately.
Baili Dongjun and the others rushed out together.
The officials and ministers behind him followed suit.
Outside the palace, thunderclouds gathered, and a bolt of lightning, reaching from the sky to the earth, stood in the very center of Tian Qi City.
The massive thunderclouds emitted bursts of thunder intermittently.
The wind howled furiously.
A somber and desolate atmosphere prevailed.
In Tian Qi City, everyone was gazing at the towering pillar of lightning, its majestic aura inspiring a sense of submission.
