Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 919 879: The Chancellor's Ambition

If we were to put this group of old guys onto a filming set in the 21st century, without a doubt, they'd be absolute seasoned actors.

Their acting skills are top-notch, far superior to those of the young rising stars today, without a doubt.

Giving them one or two awards for Best Actor or Best Leading Role wouldn't be a problem at all.

Just for their acting skills and this series of maneuvers, Lin Yi couldn't help but give them a thumbs-up.

As the screen was moved away, suddenly Lin Yi appeared in everyone's view. Even those with dull minds, after this series of operations by the Chancellor, understood the ins and outs of the situation and knew what had happened.

Looking at Lin Yi, who was now seated on the throne, they all knew that he was to be their future ruler.

After all, with the acknowledgment of those ministers, this was already a certainty. Even if someone were to oppose now, it would be to no avail, as the majority of the Imperial Court had already submitted to him.

However, at this moment, their hearts were filled with speculation about who this person was and why these people would collectively recommend him.

They said this person was that Young Master, but according to their knowledge, wasn't this Young Master eliminated by Dayou long ago?

And as it was said, some had even seen it with their own eyes. But who exactly was this living person standing here now?

Could it really be him?

But that seemed unrealistic, somewhat impossible.

If he were truly alive, those events would not have occurred, nor would there be this confrontation between Prince Ning and the Right Prince.

After all, Prince Ning was very respectful towards the Young Master.

In any case, despite the whirlwind of thoughts in their minds, they had to bow and kneel, following the crowd in shouting.

It's a joke; at this moment, everyone had already agreed on his identity. If someone stood out alone to oppose it, they'd likely end up accompanying Chen Shiren.

This was something they could never do. After all, the most precious thing in this world is life. Without life, everything else is meaningless.

Seeing the reactions of the people below, Lin Yi's lips curved slightly upwards. He knew in his heart that this step was indeed correct.

Moreover, the skills of these old guys were substantial enough; it was impressive how they quickly took control of the entire Imperial Court.

Of course, there was one thing he knew: even though he now controlled the entire Imperial Court, outside of it, it was beyond his control.

Meaning, within the Great Dayou Kingdom, only those present would follow his orders, and only at this moment.

Who knows if, once they leave this great hall, someone among them might harbor ill intentions?

Especially those generals with military power, could they be plotting rebellion?

These are all uncertain and unpredictable, as every power transition tends to spark some people's covetousness.

Those who wield real power knew this was a time to rise.

In the chaos, one could suddenly rise, or even swallow up half the Great Six Kingdoms. Such events were not unprecedented.

Especially given the current situation in Dayou, where military power was divided into two groups: one under the Right Prince and the other under Prince Ning.

The two forces could balance each other, creating a strong deterrent effect. If one side fell, the other would undoubtedly take advantage, seizing control of Dayou.

But now, now both leaders have simultaneously perished, indicating a power vacuum.

And this vacuum period most benefits their deputies.

Those generals most trusted by Prince Ning and the Right Prince, they hold significant military power now.

With military power in hand, who knows if they would rebel, or if they would submit to Lin Yi entirely.

Yet, Lin Yi had already anticipated all of this in his heart.

Hence, after greeting everyone, Lin Yi cast his gaze downward, and the Chancellor then spoke up:

"Chancellor, tell us about the overall distribution of military forces in Dayou."

Upon hearing this, the generals who had military power turned pale, knowing what these words signified.

Clearly, this was an attempt to weaken or reclaim their military power.

Only by mastering military power can one truly become the king of Dayou.

However, upon hearing these words, the Chancellor immediately understood Lin Yi's intentions, but he dared not hide anything, knowing the identity of the one before him.

He then explained the distribution of military power within Dayou in detail before the Imperial Court.

As he spoke, the expressions of the generals became increasingly uncomfortable.

But what Lin Yi did not know was that the Chancellor had not only explained everything thoroughly out of fear of him but also because he wanted to seize the chance to reclaim military power.

Since ancient times, civil and military officials have been adversaries. As the Chancellor and head of the civil servants, he naturally had control over the military but still regarded himself as a civil servant.

Because of this, he was at odds with the military generals. This was an opportunity to replace all those old generals, ideally with his own people, thus further enhancing his power.

Perhaps, in time, his family would grow tremendously. By then, who knows, he might even reach for that position.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the throne on the dais.

Especially when his eyes met that throne...
