This is no small matter, which naturally means that everyone needs to pay more attention to this issue.

Perhaps some people are thinking of putting up a stubborn resistance, or perhaps they feel that the previous minor disturbances did not infringe on their interests, but now that their interests have been truly threatened, they naturally need to fight back at this time.

Fear of imperial power is certainly understandable. If their own interests were threatened, many would choose to resist. Moreover, in their view, there are many others who share similar sentiments.

Once it reaches a certain scale, and once some people band together for mutual support, the emperor might change his mind.

As long as things haven't settled down, it means anything is possible, and we can continue to fight and strive.

Zhu Yunying appeared to be observing detachedly, seemingly wanting to see how the civil and military officials in the court would choose sides. These matters were worth his attention, and indeed, they were quite interesting.

This is not just empty talk. Zhu Yunying does indeed enjoy figuring out people's hearts now, and he really likes to see the reactions of his civil and military officials. These are no small matters.

The grand assembly seems to be just like that; there aren't many valuable topics to discuss, and it appears to be more of a ritual.

However, we absolutely cannot let our guard down. Many people are well aware that what follows is crucial, and what is about to happen is what everyone must pay attention to. The real struggle may be about to unfold.

This is not just empty talk; it concerns their own interests, so many people will naturally do everything in their power at this time. Even those who seem to be the emperor's confidants might stand against the emperor if they consider their own and their family's interests.

If such a situation were to occur, there would be no need to be surprised; it is perfectly normal, and that is human nature.

Zhu Yunying simply sat high on the dragon throne, continuing to weigh and ponder. He enjoyed this life and state of being, and the responsibilities and obligations that came with being an emperor.
