Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 920 880: Veteran Generals Holding Military Power

When his gaze met the throne, those eyes were filled with a greedy expression.

Of course, that expression was just a fleeting moment, soon well concealed by him.

At present, he wasn't enough to support the ambition in his heart, and precisely because of this, he dared not overtly reveal his desires.

He feared that at this moment, the one above might directly eliminate him first.

Yet, even though his gaze flickered quickly and was swiftly hidden, this tinge of greed was still caught by Lin Yi.

However, when he looked at this Right Chancellor, the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards.

Meanwhile, in his heart, he was secretly musing, not afraid of you lacking ambition, only afraid your ambition isn't enough; only when you're filled with ambition will you be more diligent and more mindful in handling affairs for me.

Of course, in other words, he's not actually handling affairs for me but rather scheming for his own power.

But Lin Yi knew well that only in this way would he wholeheartedly pursue matters. And Lin Yi was not afraid of him seeking power since Lin Yi was confident that when he was about to seize power, he could instantly cut him off or uproot his influence, leaving only those who are obedient, or maintain an already completed network.

Otherwise, relying on his own strength alone, wanting to stand firm in this society, in this unfamiliar country, would obviously be extremely challenging.

It can be said without exaggeration that in this world, he is only familiar with Leng Yu and that group of subordinates, while everyone else remains strangers to him.

With such a team, wishing to swiftly seize control of a country is truly unrealistic.

For this reason, even though he knew the ambitions of these people, and their greed, he had to employ them once more, at least temporarily.

"The few veteran generals mentioned just now by the Right Chancellor, please step forward and introduce yourselves one by one."

After the Right Chancellor finished speaking, Lin Yi also glanced towards the military generals, then calmly said.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, those veteran generals had no choice but to step forward.

They then began introducing themselves one after another, though in their hearts, however unwilling they might be, given the current situation, opposing the other side would certainly result in severe retaliation.

It can be said without exaggeration, they believe that right now the guards within the imperial palace have already been seized by these fellows.

Even if they disagreed, the other side had yet to show it, but at present dared not express it. They're awaiting an opportunity, waiting until they leave the royal palace, until they return to their own barracks before responding accordingly.

In the simplest terms, these individuals currently have no say whatsoever.

At this moment, they are like fish on a chopping board, awaiting slaughter.

If they had known they would encounter such a situation after this morning's court session, undoubtedly, they wouldn't have shown up here, but instead would have promptly returned to their barracks to organize their troops, preparing for any surprises.

Or, with military power in hand, they could secure greater benefits for themselves.

Once those veteran generals had introduced themselves, Lin Yi slightly nodded, then spoke to the few generals wielding significant power:

"After court dismisses, a few veteran generals remain, I have matters to discuss with you."

Since Lin Yi had already spoken, even if their hearts were displeased, they could only bow and respond affirmatively.

Then they gradually retreated. And in the upcoming period, starting with the Right Chancellor, plans began to unfold about when to arrange Lin Yi's ascension ceremony.

After all, in this society, there's a strong emphasis on propriety, even if everyone acknowledged Lin Yi's existence, a formal procedure is crucial.

Only after worshipping at the ancestral temple and conducting an ascension ceremony can Lin Yi truly become the king acknowledged by the citizens of Dayou Kingdom in the royal capital.

This morning's court session lasted nearly three hours before it reluctantly concluded.

Once it ended, a few chancellors, along with six ministers and those veteran generals, were all retained, while the other officials returned to their posts to continue their work.

Of course, Lin Yi knew that today they definitely wouldn't work seriously, instead gathering to discuss this matter, or planning something.

However, this doesn't concern him, as he knows that as long as all the prominent officials of the court are under his control, they wouldn't dare stir any trouble, and the court will be under his command.

When everyone retreated, Lin Yi didn't leave the Imperial Council Hall, but headed towards the small side hall behind the hall.

Those chancellors, along with the six ministers and generals, followed behind him.

However, their pace was noticeably slow, deliberately staying a great distance behind Lin Yi.

Afterwards, they exchanged glances, seemingly attempting to communicate through their eyes.

Aware of this, Lin Yi purposely quickened his steps, reached the side hall, and waited for them.

These old fellows, seeing Lin Yi moving away, indeed stopped and began discussing things, at which point those chancellors present this morning started briefing them, telling everything that transpired today, not just this morning, but last night as well.

On hearing these words, those generals originally disgruntled and contemplating rebellion realized they had to scrutinize the matter more seriously.

Moreover, learning of this, they reflected upon the matter concerning Prince Ning.

Prince Ning supposedly was slain by the Celestial God, yet now it seems quite possible it was that young man who did it.

If it indeed was him, then could he truly be an immortal dispatched by the heavens? If he truly is an immortal, what power do we possess to resist?

Before long, everyone glanced around at each other, each seeing a hint of unease in the others' eyes.

Fortunately, the Right Chancellor spoke again at this moment.
