After hearing the question, Mendo started to laugh uproariously without even thinking, "This question is just ridiculous! Do I even need to think it over? Obviously, it's..."
"Mendo!" Cote roared suddenly, jolting Mendo.
"Use your brain!" What Cote was most afraid of was this. Mendo was sometimes too confident in himself, and this unwarranted confidence would surely lead to his undoing! Especially with the question that Long Yi had thrown at him!
Mendo was originally going to choose the door to the room with the minister and the people, but the problem arose.
At a time like this, who carried more weight? The emperor, or the everyday commoners who kept the Empire running?
By the value of a country's standards, of course, the emperor would be deemed more important. But could the emperor really be more important than those ministers?
Mendo looked around, catching glimpses of the expressions on everyone's faces. He saw absolute contradictions! No one could make a decision!
