Wu Yunyin took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but the panic in her heart was like a flood that had burst its banks, and she could not suppress it.
Wang Chong disappeared, Li Yan was killed by Chen Zhennan, and there was no one left to hold down the reins in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue.
A quick glance across the court revealed that although there were still some veteran officials, they had all been in power for decades and had little real ability.

The War God of the Martial Kingdom whom he had once looked down upon and even suppressed.
