2"What I want you to do is very simple. That is to help me reclaim the throne!" Perhaps due to the influence of that Imperial Army general, Old Emperor changed the way he addressed him.    

    

"Retake the throne?!" Everyone was shocked, but they were also excited at the same time.    

    

One should know that Old Emperor passed the throne to First Prince, which was announced in public. There were many people present who had witnessed it, including those from Yuan Feng Country. There were also people from other countries. Furthermore, Old Emperor wasn't threatened at that time. It could be said that New Emperor had no problem inheriting the throne. It could be seen that... Old Emperor was very satisfied with First Prince.    

    

However, how long had it been? Old Emperor actually wanted to seize the throne back? What did this mean? What did New Emperor do to make Old Emperor unhappy? Or was it that Old Emperor was too greedy for power and did not want to abdicate?    

    

Furthermore, Old Emperor's health had always been poor and could die at any time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have passed the throne to First Prince in advance. Now, a person who could die at any time wanted to seize the throne. This made people somewhat confused.    

    

However, at the same time of shock, these people were also a bit excited. Because they were all Old Emperor's trusted aides. After Old Emperor abdicated his position, they were already starting to be marginalized, and this was even under the circumstances where New Emperor didn't have the time to do anything. One could imagine that once New Emperor had the time, then, their lives would definitely not be easy. They would definitely have to stay away from the center of power.    

    

However, it would be different if Old Emperor returned. As Old Emperor's trusted aides, they would definitely be put in an important position. As long as Old Emperor was alive, they would enjoy the feeling of having power for a day. Therefore, they all felt a little excited.    

    

However, besides feeling excited, they were also worried. New Emperor had already ascended the throne, and there was no problem with the source of the throne. New Emperor would never be willing to hand over the throne, even if the one who snatched the throne was his father. He would never hand it over. In that case, if they wanted to help Old Emperor regain the throne... It would be equivalent to them plotting a rebellion. If they failed, they would surely die without a trace.    

    

In addition, Old Emperor's body was also a thing that he had to worry about. After all, he was old and had a serious illness. He could die at any time, and once he died, the one who would inherit the throne would definitely be First Prince. At that time, First Prince would definitely find them and settle the score with them. They still wouldn't be able to escape death, and this wasn't worth it.    

    

"Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with what the new emperor did?" A eunuch asked, "The new king was personally chosen by His Majesty, and he was also trusted by His Majesty. Why did His Majesty do this?"    

    

If it was during normal times, a eunuch would dare to ask a question like this from the emperor. Even if he was trusted by His Majesty, he would definitely be punished. However, it was different now. Old Emperor still needed to rely on them. Help him seize the throne. How should he punish them? And these eunuchs and generals also knew that this method was not good. However, this was a matter that concerned their lives after all. They couldn't not take it seriously.    

    

"Hmph!" Old Emperor coldly snorted and said, "If the person sitting on the throne is still my son, Zhen will naturally not snatch back the throne from his hands, but he is not!"    

    

"What?!" Everyone exclaimed and suddenly thought of some rumors from before.    

    

Not long after Old Emperor passed the throne to New Emperor, he said some words that doubted New Emperor's identity. It was because of this that Old Emperor was put under house arrest. Initially, these people thought that it was just a rumor, just like the others. Or rather, it was like what New Emperor said. Old Emperor was seriously ill. He was delirious, and that was why he had said those words.    

    

However, it seemed like that was not the case. Everyone was sure that Old Emperor was completely awake at this moment. However, under such circumstances, he still doubted New Emperor's identity. Thinking back, New Emperor seemed to be concerned about Old Emperor, but in fact, he had put Old Emperor under house arrest. Everyone felt that this matter might not be simple.    

    

However, who could pretend to be New Emperor? Wasn't this too similar? There was no difference in appearance. Besides, how long had he been hiding here? What was his purpose?    

    

No one knew.    

    

"Although Zhen does not have any evidence to prove New Emperor's fake identity, but, zhen understands the habits of the prince. Initially, I had some doubts. However, after he placed me under house arrest, I was very certain. The person sitting on the throne is definitely not my son. This is the son of someone who has emerged from Zhen! " Old Emperor said.    

    

Everyone was stunned by Old Emperor's words and didn't say anything for a moment. Someone had actually emerged as their Emperor. This was simply unimaginable. However, it seemed like the other party had succeeded. Now, he had become their New Emperor.    

    

Old Emperor was also very aggrieved. He had no idea when the other party had started impersonating him. He even thought that his eldest son was killed by that shameless imposter. Therefore, this time, he wasn't just going to seize back the throne. Furthermore, and take revenge for his eldest son.    

    

He had to take back the throne!    

    

"I am willing to do anything for His Majesty!" Someone had already made up his mind and decided to stand on Old Emperor's side.    

    

"I am willing to do anything for His Majesty!" The others also knelt down and said.    

    

These people were not stupid. If they were stupid, they would not have been put in an important position by Old Emperor. They all understood that when they were summoned here... When Old Emperor told them his plan, these people... In fact, they had no other choice.    

    

The only choice they could make was to listen to Old Emperor's plan.    

    

Old Emperor had even told them such a private matter. Obviously, if anyone didn't agree to it, they wouldn't be able to walk out of this door. They didn't think that Old Emperor had been the Emperor for so many years. There were only a few trusted aides in the Imperial Palace. If anyone had any other thoughts... There was no way they could live past today.    

    

And pretending to join and secretly report to New Emperor was also not possible. First of all, let's not talk about whether New Emperor would believe what they said. Even if he did, so what? If Old Emperor's plan succeeded, those who leaked the information would die, and Old Emperor's plan would fail. They too wouldn't be put in an important position by New Emperor. They were Old Emperor's men. Furthermore, they had also betrayed Old Emperor. How could New Emperor dare to use these people who had betrayed his master's history?    

    

Therefore, since there was no other choice, they naturally knew how to express their stance.
