Chapter 1117 - 1116: Is Qin Hao Really This Monstrous?
Zhai Nanyi understood Qin Hao’s intentions upon hearing his words. He intended to drive out the older members of the court and establish his own autocratic rule.
More precisely, to establish an autocracy shared between him and Ye Lingyi.
Zhai Nanyi had neither the strength nor opportunity to resist. Though his family had many members in military positions, Qin Hao’s prestige in the army was at its zenith, unassailable, and quite terrifying.
He ultimately agreed with Qin Hao because he saw through the current situation.
The current state was that those who followed Qin Hao would live, and those who opposed him would perish!
If the Zhai Family wished to continue developing, they had to fully comply with Qin Hao’s wishes. This may even make them stronger, but it would be impossible to escape his control. However, non-compliance would lead to the Zhai Family’s decline.
Everyone present understood Qin Hao’s intentions, and quickly reconsidered their own paths, for even the State Duke had submitted; they too should now think carefully about their futures.
Qin Hao dismissed them shortly after, and upon understanding Qin Hao’s intentions, Zhai Nanyi took his leave.
The other officials also left one after another. Although Qin Hao did not say much, everyone understood his meaning.
The morning court the next day.
State Duke Zhai Nanyi cited his age as a reason to resign and retire, which surprised many. Had the Zhai Family submitted?
Not only State Duke Zhai Nanyi, but State Duke Gao Yuan also submitted his resignation to retire.
