Su Lin watched the performance for a while, then raised his hand, forcing them to calm down. All the officials fell silent and looked at Su Lin with concern and anticipation, waiting for his next words.

Su Lin sighed, shook his head sadly, and said in a tone of pity, "I didn't know that you all suffered so much and bore so much responsibility."

"Especially you who has 10 mothers, that's really amazing."

"You're really an extremely dutiful son."

The person he pointed to was surprised at first, but after hearing Su Lin's words, he lowered his head silently, even he with his thick face felt embarrassed at this moment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," he muttered in a low voice.

"Hmm," Su Lin nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, I'm not a cruel person and I won't kill you just like that, after all, you are my dear ministers."

Upon hearing Su Lin's words, the officials looked at each other and saw the happiness in each other's eyes, they quickly knelt down and shouted excitedly.

 "Long live His Majesty"

"Long live His Majesty"

"Long live His Majesty"

Su Lin looked at the people who were now kneeling in front of him happily, and breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

They seemed to be overcoming the shock, that's good.

Su Lin returned to a comfortable position, and added in a relaxed tone.

"Okay, okay, don't get too excited, in fact I don't care about your treacherous thoughts, on the contrary I encourage this thought and think it's the right thing to do."

"A person must have some ambition, otherwise what's the difference between him and a salted fish?"

"Today he's a low-level government employee, tomorrow he'll be a minister of the world, and then what?"

"Say it!" Su Lin pointed to one of the officials who was looking at him in astonishment.

 "Huh?, Me?" The official pointed his finger at him and asked doubtfully.

"Yes, you are." Su Lin nodded gently, not wanting to scare him and end up unable to answer due to stress.

At this moment, it was no longer the Great Emperor, but the Great Teacher Fan.

G.T.F.

"This is… an Emperor?" When he saw Su Lin's confirmation, the official said cautiously, afraid of the answer but at the same time, he did not dare not to answer.

"That's right! Well done, what's your name?" Su Lin nodded with the look of a teacher satisfied with a clever student.

"I… I am Jing Weitong," he said with tears in his eyes, at this moment his feet were trembling with fear, he did not understand why His Highness was focusing on him, and also what would happen to him.

"Jing Weitong, after the minister, of course you must aspire to be an Emperor, aspire to be what?" Su Lin asked in a loud voice, looking at all the officials.

"Emperor!!" All the officials answered in a voice One.

"Good! Now, do you want to become an emperor one day?", Su Lin raised his voice and asked.

"Yes!", all the officials answered in unison.

"I can't hear you, do you want to become an emperor one day?", Su Lin felt excited and got up from his throne, raised his hand into a fist and asked again in a louder voice.

"Yes!!!" They all shouted at the top of their lungs with excitement, but Su Lin didn't notice the tears glistening at the corner of their eyes.

At this moment, the officials knew that they were dead.

Su Lin looked at the rising excitement, and felt satisfaction filling his entire body, he had satisfied his ego as a great teacher to the fullest.

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and sat back on his throne and added in an encouraging tone.

"I can promise you right now that if one of you can surpass me one day"

"I will gladly abdicate the throne to him"

"Understood?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

They all shouted respectfully in unison, but the fear they felt at this time became more and more intense.

Although it seemed that he had preserved their lives for the time being, what does it mean that if you can defeat me, I will abdicate the throne?

Are these words that an ordinary person would say?

Hss, that's scary, mom, I want to leave.

"…"!

"Good." Su Lin nodded his head in satisfaction, then he thought of something new but unfortunately he couldn't find anything, and reluctantly returned to his position as an emperor.

"Now let's get back to the reason I gathered you today."

"Minister of Finance, where are you? Step forward!"

Su Lin called out in an academic manner to show that he was still in the atmosphere of a teacher.

His eyes wandered between the people, but every time his eyes landed on someone, he would quickly shake his head and wave his hands to indicate that it wasn't him.

Although he had inherited memories from the previous person, because the previous person hadn't interacted with court affairs much, he didn't know the officials.

Other than Gu Jung Wei, the previous person didn't know any other officials. 

At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward unwillingly, raising his hand nervously, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. 

His appearance attracted Su Lin's attention and he looked at him. When his eyes met Su Lin's, the man quickly lowered his head, and they did not dare to look any further. 

Song Jing swallowed in fear and said in a weak and frightened voice. 

"It's me, Your Majesty, I am the Minister of Finance."

Su Lin looked at this person carefully and the first thing he noticed was his big round belly that seemed like it would move away from him at any moment and sprout two legs and start moving on its own.

Just by looking at his bloated figure and thinking about his position as the Minister of Finance, you could tell that he was corrupt, extremely so.

But at this time, he looked weak and oppressed. And afraid, like someone was bullied him.

Su Lin blinked at this belly curiously for a while, and finally turned his attention back to Song Jing who was trying to sell air.
