"Why not?"
"His Majesty hasn't appeared for so long. We care about him and just want to meet him."
"Steward, tell us honestly, is there something you're hiding from us?"
Hearing the words of the head eunuch, the civil and military officials were enraged.
His tone also became aggressive.
Seeing this.
The head eunuch became more and more flustered, not knowing how to deal with it.
"We must see His Majesty today."
"Yes, if we don't see His Majesty, we will stand here and not leave!"
A portion of the people said angrily.
They were all old officials of the Great Qin Empire. Although their status in the Great Qin Empire was not comparable to the various marquises, they were still loyal to the Emperor.
"Everyone, it is His Majesty's order to not see everyone. Why make things difficult for the steward?"
Suddenly.
A faint laughter rang out, and Zhuge Wuhou appeared out of thin air in front of the throne room.
Seeing Zhuge Wuhou's arrival, the head eunuch seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw. He ran in front of Zhuge Wuhou and said in a low voice, "These people are already suspicious. Quickly help me deal with them."
Zhuge Wuhou secretly said: "Don't worry, I came here to help you deal with them."
The head eunuch heaved a sigh of relief.
"Zhuge Wuhou, His Majesty hasn't attended the morning court for so many days. Aren't you worried at all?"
Someone looked at Zhuge Wuhou and said.
This person was also a marquis. His name was Shao Wuhou, but his strength was much weaker than Zhuge Wuhou.
Zhuge Wuhou looked at Shao Wuhou, and a cold light flashed in his old eyes. He sighed: "This marquis is naturally worried."
Shao Wuhou said: "Then why are you still speaking up for the steward?"
"I just said that it was His Majesty's order to not see everyone. What's the use of making things difficult for the steward?"
Zhuge Wuhou said.
Shao Wuhou said: "We are not making things difficult for the steward, we just want to see His Majesty with our own eyes and confirm His Majesty's safety."
Zhuge Wuhou's face immediately darkened as he said angrily: "Shao Wuhou, what do you mean by that? Could it be that there is someone in the imperial palace who dares to plot against His Majesty? "
Shao Wuhou's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
Zhuge Wuhou's eyes darkened.
Seeing that Zhuge Wu Hou's aura was becoming more and more oppressive, Shao Wu Hou's eyes were also filled with anger as he said, "What? Is it wrong for me to be concerned about His Majesty? "
"That's right."
"But please, don't talk nonsense. It will cause panic."
"After all, you are also a Martial Marquis. Don't be so reckless, lest others misunderstand that you, Marquis Shao, have ulterior motives!"
Zhuge Wuhou said.
"Ulterior motives?"
"This Marquis only wanted to see His Majesty, yet you're obstructing me in every way possible. If there's anyone with ulterior motives, it's you!"
Marquis Shao shouted.
"Marquis Shao, please pay attention to your words!"
Zhuge Wuhou was furious.
Just as the two of them were about to explode in anger, a figure descended from the sky above the throne room.
He was wearing a dragon robe and a dragon crown on his head. His entire body was exuding an extremely majestic aura.
Who else could it be but the emperor?
"Your Majesty!"
The head eunuch was overjoyed. He quickly flew to the front of the emperor and bowed. "Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The officials below also knelt and kowtowed.
Including Marquis Zhuge.
However, in Marquis Zhuge's heart, he was extremely bewildered.
Wasn't the emperor already killed? Why did he suddenly come back?
And from the looks of it, there was no trace of injury.
"All of you, rise!"
The emperor swept his gaze across the crowd of officials, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. He then entered the throne room and sat on the dragon throne right above.
The civil and military officials also entered the throne room one after another, neatly lining up on both sides of the hall below.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you were unwell. Are you better now?"
Marquis Shao took a step forward and asked with concern.
"I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern, Marquis Shao."
The emperor said with a faint smile.
Marquis Shao heaved a sigh of relief and said respectfully, "Your Majesty's words are too serious. Caring for Your Majesty is your subject's duty and responsibility."
The emperor nodded and waved his hand.
Marquis Shao bowed and consciously retreated to his original position.
Another minister walked out from the crowd and stood in the middle of the hall. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there have been a lot of official matters piled up these days. This old minister …"
But before he could finish, the emperor waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about official matters later. Leave first, I have something to announce."
"Yes."
The minister was slightly taken aback, respectfully responded, and then retreated into the crowd.
The emperor glanced at the civil and military officials.
The civil and military officials also looked at the emperor suspiciously.
For a moment.
The throne room fell into a dead silence.
A moment later.
The emperor finally broke the silence and said with a smile, "The matter that I want to announce is a great thing for my Great Qin Empire."
"What good thing?"
Marquis Zhuge's eyes flashed as he asked with a smile.
The emperor said, "I have already comprehended the profound meaning of becoming a god."
"What?"
Marquis Zhuge was shocked.
The others were stunned for a moment, and then they were all overjoyed.
The emperor smiled and said, "However, I have just entered the threshold and still need to comprehend it. Therefore, I have decided to go into seclusion for a period of time."
"This is indeed a good thing."
"Your Majesty becoming a god is what everyone wants. We support Your Majesty."
The civil and military officials laughed.
The emperor smiled and said, "However, during this period of time when I am in seclusion, someone must be in charge of the court. After thinking about it, I finally found a suitable candidate."
"Who?"
Everyone looked at the emperor in confusion. There was expectation and desire.
Being in charge of the imperial court was a good job, and everyone wanted it.
The emperor glanced at the officials and said with a smile, "This person is the Imperial Preceptor. The Imperial Preceptor is highly respected and resourceful. I am most at ease with him taking charge of the court. I wonder if anyone has any objections?"
Hearing this, many people had a trace of disappointment in their eyes.
"In terms of qualifications and strength, no one can compare to the Imperial Preceptor. This old official has no objections."
"This old official has no objections either."
Several officials expressed their opinions one after another.
When the others heard this, they also shook their heads, indicating that they had no objections.
"Very good."
The emperor's dragon face was overjoyed. He looked at the eunuch on the side and said, "Summon the Imperial Preceptor."
"Yes."
The eunuch responded respectfully and said loudly, "Imperial Preceptor."
Before his voice faded.
The Imperial Preceptor appeared outside the throne room and strode into the throne room. He bowed and said, "This old official greets Your Majesty."
"Did you hear what I said before?"
The emperor asked.
"Yes."
The Imperial Preceptor replied respectfully.
The emperor asked, "Then are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility?"
"This is this old official's honor. This old official will do his best to manage the court and wait for Your Majesty to come out of seclusion."
The Imperial Preceptor lowered his head and said, not declining at all.
Because this was exactly what he wanted.
"I believe in you."
The emperor nodded, then looked at the officials and said, "If there is anything in the future, there is no need to go through me. You can directly report to the Imperial Preceptor."
"Yes."
Everyone replied.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Then you can leave first. I still have things to tell the Imperial Preceptor. Oh right, Zhuge Wuhou, stay."
"This official will take his leave."
The civil and military officials bowed respectfully, then turned around and left the throne room in an orderly manner.
Zhuge Wuhou stood below, looking at the Imperial Preceptor and the emperor, his eyes filled with suspicion.
The emperor looked at the eunuch and said, "You can leave as well. Close the door on the way."
"Yes."
The eunuch replied and quickly ran out, closing the door.
After the door was closed, the Imperial Preceptor waved his hand and a barrier appeared, enveloping the entire hall.
This barrier had the effect of soundproofing. Even if one stood outside the door, they would not be able to hear the sounds inside.
Then.
The Imperial Preceptor turned to look at Zhuge Wuhou and chuckled: "Are you very puzzled right now?"
"This …"
Zhuge Wuhou wanted to say something but hesitated, as if he was somewhat afraid.
The Imperial Preceptor glanced at the emperor, then looked at Zhuge Wuhou and smiled: "Don't worry, he's one of us."
"One of us?"
Zhuge Wuhou looked at the emperor in shock.
The emperor's face was also full of smiles.
The Imperial Preceptor looked at the emperor and smiled: "Let him see your original body."
The emperor nodded and consumed a Facial Restoration Pill.
Immediately.
Whether it was the emperor's figure or face, they all began to change.
Finally.
A familiar face appeared in Zhuge Wuhou's line of sight.
If Qin Feiyang was here, he would be able to recognize him at a glance. This person was Zhuge Nanhua!
"This …"
Zhuge Wuhou was stunned.
Zhuge Nanhua laughed: "How is it, are you surprised?"
Zhuge Wuhou was stunned, he looked at the Imperial Preceptor and Zhuge Nanhua, and asked: "What exactly is going on?"
Zhuge Nanhua said: "This is the first step of our plan …"
… ….
At the same time!
Pagoda!
A middle-aged man wearing Kirin armor suddenly descended in front of the pagoda.
It was the commander of the Kirin Army!
Old Man Qin sat cross-legged in front of the pagoda. Sensing the aura of the commander of the Kirin Army, he opened his eyes and asked: "What are you doing here?"
"Let me tell you a piece of good news. His Majesty is back."
The commander of the Kirin Army laughed.
"What?"
Old Man Qin suddenly stood up, his face full of surprise.
He had been guarding the pagoda the entire time. How could he not know that the emperor had returned?
"What is it?"
"You seem to be very surprised?"
The commander of the Kirin Army looked at Old Man Qin suspiciously.
"Are you sure that His Majesty is really back?"
Old Man Qin asked.
"Yes."
"He's in the throne room right now."
"Although I haven't met His Majesty yet, the civil and military officials are all discussing it."
"And it is said that His Majesty also announced a piece of great news."
The commander of the Kirin Army said.
"What good news?"
Old Man Qin frowned.
The commander of the Kirin Army laughed: "His Majesty has reached the peak of the Nine Star Combat Emperor Realm and is preparing to go into seclusion to comprehend the profound meaning of becoming a god."
"How could this be?"
Old Man Qin was confused.
He knew very well that the emperor had not returned to the imperial capital. But why would there be an emperor in the throne room?
Could it be …
Suddenly!
Old Man Qin seemed to have thought of something. His eyes trembled slightly as he asked: "Who will be in charge of the imperial court when His Majesty is in seclusion?"
The commander of the Kirin Army said: "His Majesty announced in front of the civil and military officials that the State Preceptor will be in charge of the imperial court."
Old Man Qin was furious.
How dare he let someone pretend to be His Majesty? How dare he!
The commander of the Kirin Army did not know, but Old Man Qin was very clear. He knew what was going on as soon as he heard this.
"Old man, just you wait! Today, I'm going to fight you to the end!"
Old Man Qin's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He immediately opened the teleportation door and walked in with great anger.
"What happened?"
