In such a situation, several officials began to regret coming here with Old Master Lu today.
Some were filled with righteous indignation, harshly criticizing Chu Lan.
Some were quietly observing the changes.
Some even declared their loyalty to Wei Jinyi on the spot.
At this moment, human nature was vividly displayed in all its facets.
Chu Lan then addressed the officials in the hall, "The Daxing Emperor has long neglected state affairs, and the corruption of his ruling in-laws has become serious. The common people are living in hardship. Although it was ruthless of me to kill him, it was also a necessary evil in order to save the common people from suffering. If you all understand my intentions and are willing to continue to pledge loyalty to me, to seek blessings for the common people and life for the citizens, I can forgive your transgressions today, and everything will remain as it was, as though nothing happened."
