Chapter 875: After modification - 872: As a Matter of Course
"General Lin and General Yang, your efforts are commendable!" Bai Qingyan nodded and then looked at the silent officials within the hall.
She knew what these officials were speculating in their hearts, they were wondering why Bai Qingyan had already defied the Imperial Edict and sent troops to Jiu Chong Tai even before entering Dadu City, forcibly ordered Jiu Chong Tai to stop construction, and rescued the children wanted by the Emperor. Such blatant disregard for the Emperor’s authority—could it be a rebellion?
Just as Bai Qingyan had guessed, the officials were disturbed...
Although what the Princess of Zhen was doing was not wrong, her overt defiance of the Imperial Edict and the Emperor’s authority inevitably led people to suspect that she harbored disloyal intentions.
If the Princess of Zhen indeed had thoughts of rebellion, intending to replace the current Lin imperial power, what could these powerless court officials possibly do?
With troops of the Princess of Zhen everywhere, many rebellious cities already surrendered to her forces, what more could they do?!
Which of the officials present hadn’t witnessed the Crown Prince’s groveling before King Liang? If they were to support such a king, which official would willingly do so?!
The downfall of the Lin imperial power was evident.
They admired the Princess of Zhen and were even willing to support her, but the premise was...she had to be a man. How could a woman govern a kingdom?
