"Minister, accept the decree and thank for the grace!"
After a moment of silence, Wang Junze immediately knelt to receive the decree.
He certainly knew that there were bound to be other dangers involved, but for him, this was indeed the best outcome. If he refused, then the only option was to fight his way out of the palace.
Indeed, Wang Junze had intentionally shown some weakness just now, but to say he could actually fight his way out of the palace would be an exaggeration.
His last resort was that if the Emperor insisted on killing him, then he would unleash everything without regard, killing as many as he could amidst these people in Chengtian Hall, from Empresses to esteemed ministers, making it a fight to the death.
But now, there was naturally no need for that.
The change in title from "commoner" to "minister" was, in a way, an act of submission to the Emperor.
