What the civil and military officials did not expect was that just after the decree of the deposed Crown Prince was read out, Li Cheng immediately took out a new decree. The content of the new decree was to directly transfer the throne to the Third Prince, Feng Wuchen, and the Emperor was choosing to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor!
For a moment, all the ministers were stunned.
"This... what exactly is going on? We haven't heard a single rumor."
If they had caught wind of it beforehand, it would have been alright, but before this, they truly hadn't heard a bit of news.
How could the Emperor suddenly decide to abdicate?
Could something they were unaware of have happened?
While the civil and military officials were exchanging glances, Feng Qingyang suppressed his inner anger and reluctance as he walked out of the Imperial Study Room.
