C2667 Unexpected Support
"What do you mean really like?" The new king had already guessed the meaning of Old Emperor's words. He did not expect that. Old Emperor was under house arrest, but he still had the ability to do so. Not only had he come out by himself, but he was also able to control the Imperial Guards in the palace. No one came to warn him even when he arrived in front of him. Report to him.
"I still underestimated him. Although he has abdicated, he still has some skills and power in that position after all." New Emperor thought in his heart.
However, because of Huang Feng's existence, New Emperor still had confidence in himself. Others might not know Huang Feng's true strength, but he knew it very well. Huang Feng had been very brave and fierce on the battlefield? Hehe, that performance wasn't even one percent of Huang Feng's true strength!
With the existence of Huang Feng, this super trump card, New Emperor wasn't afraid. He patiently spoke to Old Emperor. He wanted to see what Old Emperor wanted to do. Besides, he could also take this opportunity to have a good look. In this palace, how many people were actually standing on Old Emperor's side?
"Are you still pretending?" Old Emperor looked at New Emperor's calm face and thought that he was just pretending to be calm. After all, with his reminder just now, New Emperor must have already known that something had happened.
"I don't understand what father means." New Emperor said.
"Sigh, since you refuse to admit it, I'll just say it." Old Emperor sighed and said, "You are not my son at all!"
The uproar in the hall became even louder. No one had expected this. Old Emperor would say such words. Wasn't New Emperor Old Emperor's son? How was this possible? They clearly looked exactly the same, even their voices... Their expressions were the same, how could they not be Old Emperor's son?
Could it be that just like what the new emperor said, Old Emperor's illness was too severe, and it had caused his consciousness to become chaotic? Otherwise, why would he say such a thing?
Many people's first reaction after hearing Old Emperor's words was disbelief. After all, New Emperor was too similar to First Prince. No matter how they looked at it, they couldn't find any flaws in it.
However, there were also some who had calm expressions on their faces. They were all loyal to Old Emperor. Although they also admired New Emperor's ability. However, in their hearts, bloodline was the most important. No matter how powerful New Emperor was, he wasn't the son of the previous emperor. In that case, there was a problem with the bloodline. They wouldn't support it in their hearts.
Furthermore, some of them knew that they were important subjects of the old prince. New Emperor wouldn't trust them too much. Once New Emperor freed his hand, they'll be adjusted, I'm sure. At that time... New Emperor had the power to conquer all the countries outside of the pass. Who would dare to go against his decision? He would definitely be cursed at.
So, of course, they still supported Old Emperor to regain control of the imperial power and ascend the throne.
As for the captives from the other countries, they didn't expect to hear such explosive news when they were attending a banquet. There was such a secret in the imperial family of Yuan Feng Country? It was really interesting.
"Father, are you sick and muddle-headed? Why did you say such a thing? You should go back and have a good rest. " New Emperor said faintly.
"Although I am old, you can forget about snatching the Yuan Feng Country from me. This Yuan Feng Country is mine!" Old Emperor said loudly.
"I sincerely request that Your Majesty ascend to the throne and take control of the power!" Behind the hall, a minister stood up from his seat and said in a loud voice.
Then, under the shocked gazes of others, more and more people stood up to express their support for Old Emperor to regain control of the throne and become a new emperor.
These people felt that Old Emperor was really well-prepared this time. He had already strengthened the military authority in the palace, but New Emperor was totally unprepared. Therefore, in this round of confrontation, the one who lost was definitely New Emperor.
Since the result was already decided, it would naturally be better for them to express their support as soon as possible. This way, they would be able to receive more attention from Old Emperor.
Seeing the ministers stand up one after another to express their stance, Old Emperor's face was full of gratification. He was still the most powerful person in this country. As long as he wanted to, this country would still be his!
As for New Emperor, he did not get angry. Instead, he looked at the officials quietly. In his heart, he could not wait for all the people who supported Old Emperor to jump out.
When Old Emperor saw New Emperor's expression, he thought that New Emperor was forcing himself. In his heart, he sneered.
"How can you do this? The achievement of the new king is unprecedented, and no one has ever achieved it before. How can you all do this?"
"That's right. Old Emperor has already abdicated. How can he ascend the throne again? Yuan Feng Country is now under the rule of the new emperor. "
Of course, not everyone supported Old Emperor. There were many people who supported New Emperor in this hall. When they saw those people supporting Old Emperor, they were shocked and at the same time, they also stood out to criticize those people.
Old Emperor looked at this scene in astonishment. He had thought of this before. There might be people who would support the new Emperor, but in his mind... There were definitely not many of such people. After all, how many days had it been since the new emperor ascended the throne? He had been the emperor of Yuan Feng Country for decades, and his influence in this country was the greatest.
However, there were many people who stood out to support New Emperor. At least, it had far exceeded Old Emperor's expectations. He had never thought that... New Emperor had just ascended the throne, but now, there were so many people supporting him.
"Fortunately, I made my move in time. Otherwise, I would have dragged this out. Perhaps most of the ministers in this hall will support the new Emperor." Old Emperor thought in his heart. He really didn't expect this. What?
Actually, after thinking about it carefully, this scene wasn't very strange. Although New Emperor wasn't old, it hadn't been long since he ascended the throne. However, none of the emperors in Yuan Feng Country could compare to his achievements. Not even the Old Emperor who was standing in the main hall right now!
Yuan Feng Country was originally the smallest and weakest country outside of the main hall. Because of the new emperor, they had become the strongest country outside the pass. This made many people feel very proud and mentally. Naturally, they admired and supported New Emperor, feeling that this was the best way to lead them to a powerful emperor. Of course, they supported New Emperor.
As for Old Emperor, perhaps he had done a good job in the past, but after all, he was old and his era had passed.
