"This..."

The officials were astonished.

Although officials from every region appeared almost lifelike after entering the projection of Heaven-Serving Hall, seeming as though they were truly standing in Heaven-Serving Hall in the capital, the doors outside those officials' locations led to the local Literary Academies. They could not see the people outside the capital's Heaven-Serving Hall.

"What happened? What is going on?" the out-of-town officials asked one after another.

"Many Great Scholars and Grand Academicians have arrived. Marshal Chen Zhixu is here, the Chen Family head is here, and the Beggar Imperial Uncle is here..."

The Left Prime Minister glanced outside Heaven-Serving Hall, then turned back, his expression utterly unchanged.

However, the other officials of the Left Prime Minister Faction showed concern.

Ji Zhibai in particular turned deathly pale as a terrifying possibility came to mind.

To cleanse the ruler's side.

If these people raised the banner of cleansing the ruler's side and slaughtered the Left Prime Minister Faction, the Sacred Academy would at most impose a minor punishment. It absolutely would not punish them severely, because this concerned the internal affairs of a nation.

Not only did these people have sufficient cause to cleanse the ruler's side, they even had enough strength to do so.

The appearance of the Beggar Imperial Uncle, Zhao Jingkong, left the Prince Kang Faction officials hanging their heads in dejection.

Zhao Jingkong truly had no faction of his own. To avoid suspicion, he did not even involve himself in court affairs, devoting himself wholeheartedly to developing within the Sacred Academy. His actual influence in Jing Kingdom was far inferior to Prince Kang's.

Yet Zhao Jingkong was the banner of the Jing Kingdom Imperial House!

In particular, nearly all imperial clan members under forty had grown up hearing Zhao Jingkong's name. He was their model.
