Before long, the officials who had been waiting outside the door for half a day appeared in Lin Mo's sight one by one.
Good heavens, this scene is truly spectacular! Lin Mo thought to himself.
But what is Zhao Shu trying to do by summoning all the civil and military officials here?
No need to overthink it, just enjoy a drink and watch the show.
Once everyone had arrived, Zhao Shu's expression changed, and he said sternly, "My beloved ministers, I have come to the Regent's Palace today for no other reason than to clarify one thing with Regent Lin Mo. That is, the traitor Huo Minggao's collusion with the Northern Barbarians to commit treason!"
Just now, before you all arrived, I had already discussed this matter with the Regent.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo exclaimed "Holy crap!" once again.
Because the Wei Guang he was referring to was a member of the Wei family!
