No one in the imperial court dared to believe Zhang Xing.
What kind of joke was this? Who wouldn't kill the innocent?
You've already killed Ancestor Zhengyang. Who would believe that you wouldn't interfere with the Dongfang family's internal affairs?
Moreover, what did you mean by lying down on your chair?
Did you come to the meeting hall to bask in the sun?
With a killing god like you around, who would dare to go against Ancestor Dongfang Zhaoyang's wishes?
No matter what, Dongfang Zhengyang's family was like a drowning dog. The throne no longer belonged to them.
Although they had a feud with Dongfang Zhaoyang, he was still their ancestor.
Dongfang Xiongye didn't dare to be arrogant. He immediately got up and walked to Dongfang Zhaoyang.
With a thud, he knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times without a word.
The two princes followed behind and kowtowed as well.
The other officials knelt down as well.
"Greetings, Ancestor Zhaoyang!"
"Greetings, Second Ancestor Dongfang Qi and Dongfang Lin!"
"Greetings, Second Ancestor!"
Dongfang Zhaoyang looked at his eldest brother's descendants and the officials. He was filled with emotions.
If he hadn't given up his position as the crown prince, the entire imperial court would be filled with his descendants.
Big Brother Zhengyang forced his thoughts onto his younger brother, thinking that his younger brother would return one day.
Now, Big Brother Zhengyang's worries had come true.
However, he wasn't his eldest brother. He wasn't as ruthless as his eldest brother.
At this moment, if it was his big brother, he would definitely kill all of these juniors mercilessly.
Dongfang Zhaoyang couldn't do that.
After all, his eldest brother was already dead. The grudge between them had been written off.
These descendants were innocent. He couldn't bear to do that!
When he came, Zhang Xing also said that he wouldn't interfere with their family's affairs. It was up to him to kill or let go.
"Sigh!" He sighed in his heart. They were all of the same bloodline. There was no need to kill each other. Forget it, forget it!
"Get up, all of you. I'm here to pay my respects to Father and Mother's memorial tablets. Go and prepare."
Zhang Xing smiled. He knew that Big Brother Zhaoyang wouldn't make things difficult for these juniors.
However, it seemed like he was giving Dongfang Xiongye and the others a way out. How long could a royal family without a backer live in peace?
"Yes!
We will follow Second Ancestor's orders! "
"Junior still has a presumptuous request. I hope Lord Second Ancestor can grant my wish!"
Dongfang Xiongye knelt on the ground, not raising his head at all.
However, at this moment, he was incomparably excited.
Old Ancestor Zhao Yang was merciful and had no intention of killing them.
What he meant was that he was just going to pay his respects to the late Emperor, and then he would leave without caring about their lives.
He knew that without the protection of Ancestor Zhengyang, the Dongfang family's power would be unstable.
It might be fine for the time being, but it wouldn't be long before the other four major forces in the empire coveted the throne.
They would join forces to overthrow the Dongfang family and then compete for a new royal family.
In the end, he still couldn't escape death.
"Say it. If I can help, I will," Dongfang Zhaoyang said indifferently.
"Junior knows that his talents are shallow and cannot continue to be the Emperor. Senior Second Ancestor, please choose someone else!"
This short sentence revealed Dongfang Xiongye's wisdom. He understood everything very well.
"Oh?" Dongfang Zhaoyang was stunned. He didn't think that Dongfang Xiongye would be so magnanimous to give up just like that.
"This …" Dongfang Zhaoyang was not prepared and hesitated for a moment.
"Old Brother Zhaoyang, let Dongfang Wang be the Emperor. He's capable in all aspects."
Zhang Xing chuckled and said.
