Inside the Ancient Mo imperial palace, Emperor Mo sat at the head of the hall, emanating an unangered majesty. He looked like a completely different person from the one who had been slapped across the face by Guliang Yuan.
Below the great hall, the court of civil and military officials had taken on a completely new look. Although a considerable number of officials had perished during Guliang Yuan's slaughter, Emperor Mo had seized the opportunity to promote a large batch of his own confidants. Unlike the previous administrative orders that had been difficult to execute, Ancient Mo could now be said to be entirely under his personal dictation.
Civil and military officials stepped forward one after another to submit reports, all of them bearing good news. Though Emperor Mo's expression remained unchanged on the surface, his heart was filled with boundless excitement. Following the rectification of the imperial court, he had immediately implemented the New Laws, and their benefits were now fully manifesting. Even though Ancient Mo had suffered heavy losses in the battle to support the dragon throne, Emperor Mo possessed unprecedented self-confidence at this moment, believing that it would not take long to recover those losses.
