Empress Yu, who was in power, and the powerful Lin Luo.
The two Saints were like two huge mountains in the hearts of all the officials.
All the ministers here knew this.
In the past, Lin Luo had doted on Empress Yu so much, so it was impossible for him to confront her like this.
If Empress Yu wanted power, His Majesty would directly give it to her.
But now, the situation had already escalated to such a state. The two Saints had descended and forced everyone to take sides.
It proved that they had completely shed all pretenses of cordiality!
They had to be extremely careful with whoever they chose. Otherwise, they would definitely be crushed to pieces!
In an instant, all the ministers were stunned.
Not to mention bowing, no one even dared to take a small step.
The silence lasted for half a minute.
Da…
Someone stepped out.
Finally, someone made a choice!
A white-haired old man with a face full of wrinkles strode out.
Step by step, he steadily walked in front of Lin Luo.
"Your Majesty, this old minister knows his sins. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”
After saying that, he knelt down.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A few loud knocks sounded!
As a civil official who dealt with political affairs, his strength was extremely poor.
After kowtowing a few times, his forehead was covered in blood.
His entire body was on the verge of collapsing, but he still persevered bitterly.
Lin Luo's expression was indifferent, and there was not the slightest fluctuation.
Even if he had realized his mistake, he still had the intention to join Empress Yu.
As a subject, it was a great sin!
According to the law, not only would his head fall, but his entire family would also be implicated!
However, when Empress Yu was so powerful, she risked everyone's condemnation and stood up to repent.
The old official's behavior.
Not only for him, but also for the clan he was from, he had a chance to live!
Da da da da…
The first person came out.
Very soon, officials walked out one after another.
They were all old, white-haired ministers.
They had been following him since the second emperor.
If Emperor Lin Luo died, they would have no choice but to lower their heads and express their goodwill to Empress Yu for the sake of their clans.
But now, His Majesty's might was vast and mighty, and he had returned to the royal court.
Their bottom line was not to allow them to surrender to a woman in front of His Majesty and give up the Lin family's territory that they had protected for half their lives!
Out of the 70 officials, 20 of them walked out.
These twenty over people all knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Luo, crying bitterly and regretting endlessly.
"This damned bunch of stubborn old men!"
Empress Yu was filled with killing intent.
She didn't expect that she would be so domineering and had almost everything under control.
The first batch of officials who came out to pay their respects was not her.
Instead, he was paying his respects to this useless emperor!
To kneel down to this old emperor who had no power and influence!
Damn it!
Facing more than 20 people kneeling, kowtowing, bleeding, and crying.
Lin Luo merely glanced at him, his expression cold.
After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth.
"You wait, retire and return home."
With a single sentence, the fate of these people was decided.
His life could be spared!
His position was not guaranteed!
Once disloyal, a hundred times useless.
Their repentance could only save their lives and the lives of their entire clan.
But that was all.
Their official positions, their power, they all had to be taken back.
He no longer had the right to stay in the Imperial Court.
And this was the path of retreat that Lin Luo had given them.
"We…"
More than twenty ministers kept wiping their tears.
The moment of error caused them to lose half of their glory.
However, no one had the slightest disrespect or dissatisfaction.
On the contrary, he was very grateful for His Majesty's great kindness.
After all, their actions were like treason.
Even if his head fell to the ground, it would not be an exaggeration to kill his entire family!
Such an outcome was already His Majesty showing mercy.
"We…thank Your Majesty for your kindness!”
More than 20 ministers kowtowed continuously, making banging sounds.
To them, this was already the best outcome.
"Surrender to him, and you actually want to retire?”
"These old people are really brainless and blindly loyal!”
"Let us pay our respects to the new emperor!"
The vast majority of the other officials.
Seeing the fate of this group of people, he felt that it was unreasonable.
He supported the old emperor, and not only did he not receive any rewards, but he was also stripped of his official position and retired.
In that case, it would be better to firmly support the new emperor.
When the new emperor took over the country, they would have the merit of following the dragon. In the future, they would definitely soar!
Very quickly.
These fifty people had all knelt down and bowed respectfully to Empress Yu.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Yu Huang!"
The voices of more than fifty people were loud and heavy.
Empress Yu, who had a cold expression on her face, revealed a confident smile.
Forget it.
No matter how these old and pedantic people chose, they could not change the outcome.
The old emperor should die and the new emperor should be established!
She looked at Lin Luo with a burning gaze.
"Your Majesty, you have already recovered, so you should slowly plan and plan. Only then will you have a chance of winning…Now, since you have already shed all pretense of cordiality, I can't keep you alive!”
After saying that, he stood still proudly.
The bodyguard beside her quickly took out a golden gong and struck it.
Dong!
The sound of the small golden gong was extremely loud and clear. The lingering sound was extremely penetrating!
As the sound of the gong faded away.
Outside the Phoenix Palace!
Bang bang!
Thousands of footsteps gathered.
In front, there were 500 heavily armored guards.
In the middle, there were five hundred armed guards.
Behind them, there were five hundred longbow guards.
There were a total of 1,500 guards in the inner court of the palace.
They surrounded and attacked the Phoenix Palace!
The sound of killing filled the sky, and the aura was like a rainbow!!
