As soon as Liu Aotian said these words, the entire court was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Many people looked stern, knowing that the highlight of this event was coming.
After all, it was Prime Minister Liu who took the lead and caught His Majesty by surprise.
Especially since His Majesty just showed his favor to Xiao Tian and launched such an offensive.
Tsk tsk!
Xiao Tian, who was a little bored and fell on the Taishi chair, immediately sat up straight.
"Oh, has it started?" Xiao Tian's eyes were bright, and he suddenly became interested.
So fun!
This kind of court is cunning, tit-for-tat, and every word is a matter of life.
Very exciting.
Isn't it more interesting than slapping someone to death?
In the court, most eyes were focused on the relationship between His Majesty and the Prime Minister.
Therefore, no one except Zhong Ling and Liu Yan saw Xiao Tian's posture.
Zhong Ling was a guard with a sword given by the emperor, and Liu Yan was the commander of the imperial guards, so of course they were present.
The two of them saw from a distance that Xiao Tian looked excited.
"As expected of a prince, you are still very happy when others want to kill you." Zhong Ling thought to himself and quietly looked at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan shook her head and motioned to Zhong Ling to keep quiet and just watch silently.
The worst outcome is that the prince goes against his will, reveals his strength, and slaps the prime minister to death.
To have strength is to be able to do whatever you want.
If the prince wants to play, let him play.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry." Liu Yan looked at Zi Ruoyan again, feeling very guilty.
After all, His Majesty is still kept in the dark by the Prince.
Just when the atmosphere was solidified, Zi Ruoyan said: "Prime Minister, Prince Xiao Tian is my husband. If you say anything, you will be beheaded?"
"Nonsense!"
boom!
Zi Ruoyan's coercion exploded instantly, and her ninth-level Saint Realm strength was fully displayed.
For a moment, all the officials were shocked.
Your Majesty's talent is truly unparalleled.
Only twenty, such a state is really...
"Old minister, I congratulate Your Majesty on your further improvement in cultivation." Liu Aotian suddenly bowed and saluted Zi Ruoyan.
But the sound of his voice invisibly relieved Zi Ruoyan's pressure, allowing the ministers to recover from the shock.
The other ministers also woke up and followed Liu Aotian to congratulate Zi Ruoyan.
"I congratulate Your Majesty on your advanced cultivation and your prestige in the world."
Zi Ruoyan said nothing, just stared at Liu Aotian silently.
Even if you reach the ninth level of the Saint Realm, you can't see through the opponent.
Liu Aotian even resolved his own pressure with just one word.
His strength is deeper than he imagined.
Zi Ruoyan thought that she could see clearly, and the officials could also see clearly.
Especially the couple Zhong Lishuang and Zhong Yangming looked heavy.
Liu Aotian was much more difficult than they thought.
"Your Majesty, it is a good thing to improve your cultivation, but for the Great Yan Dynasty to be in such a situation, the whole dynasty relies not only on strength, but also ability. There is another reason."
"Prince Xiao Tian, as your Majesty's husband, should be talented in the world, but he has done some dirty things to compete with the people for profit."
"Your Majesty, the Great Yan Supreme."
"But you are doing something wrong with His Majesty's name. You are full of copper odor. What qualifications do you have to be His Majesty's husband?"
"This is virtue not worthy of its place!"
"Therefore, I ask you to depose the prince."
When Liu Aotian said this, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to Zhong Ling, who was carrying a sword on the side and acted as a bodyguard: "General Zhong's legitimate daughter, Zhong Ling, is given the honor of being a bodyguard with a sword."
"I hang out with Xiao Tian all day long. I don't understand the difference between men and women, and I don't understand the dignity and inferiority."
"Liu Yan, the commander, left his post without authorization and followed Xiao Tian to act recklessly and did not do his job properly."
"Zhong Yangming, the Minister of Household Affairs, became Xiao Tian's cook, which makes people laugh."
"Isn't this corrupting Chao Gang?"
"Now that Your Majesty favors Xiao Tian so much, he will not be able to go to court for a long time!"
When Liu Aotian said this, his tone was decisive: "Therefore, I ask you to kill Xiao Tian again."
Kill Xiao Tian!
These three words echoed in the vast Great Flame Hall for a long time, and the officials remained silent.
Zhong Lishuang blushed and wanted to curse this old immortal.
He kept asking his daughter what she was doing, making it seem like she was no different than the prince.
"Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is wrong." Zhong Yangming took a step forward and spoke suddenly.
"Prince Xiao Tian changed Qingyan Liquor and built a distillery to benefit the people of Qingyan Town. He built bridges and roads, took it from the people, and used it for the people."
"How can we talk about competing with the people for profit?"
"The wine has the name of Your Majesty, which is the merit of spreading it to the world."
"And the Prime Minister may not know that the southern Xinjiang plan that you praise so much was planned by the prince, and I am just acting on his behalf!!"
Liu Aotian's eyes narrowed, obviously a little surprised.
Not only that, the officials also looked stunned.
They all thought that this southern Xinjiang plan came from Zhong Yangming. Who would have thought that it was Xiao Tian who came up with the plan?
No wonder Zhong Yangming had a weird attitude in the past and avoided talking about the success of this strategy. So he was waiting here?
"You all know that I, an unworthy daughter, have a perverse temperament, and it was only by following the prince that I improved."
"General Liu is a native of Qingyan Town. The Qingyan Winery has benefited the town, and His Majesty has ordered her to escort the prince and accompany him. Is there any problem?"
"I would like to ask the Prime Minister, the prince is very knowledgeable and talented, but how can he be virtuous and unworthy of his position? How can he begin to corrupt the imperial court?"
Zhong Yangming's question seemed like a sharp sword pointed at Liu Aotian.
Zi Ruoyan was very relaxed on the dragon chair.
Sure enough, Zhong Yangming was prepared. He must have expected this scene before letting Xiao Tian come to the court to meet the ministers.
"Good guy, you have a lot of skills." Xiao Tian also glanced at Zhong Yangming and quietly gave him a thumbs up.
"Really?" There was no panic on Liu Aotian's face. Instead, he stared straight at Zhong Yangming, "Zhong Shangshu, where is the evidence?"
"Prime Minister Liu, what do you mean?"
"Xiao Tian, how is it possible that you have such an ability?" Liu Aotian shook his head and looked at Zhong Yangming, "Zhong Shangshu, how can you prove that what you said was really done by Xiao Tian?"
"I have every reason to suspect that you are arranging what you have done on Xiao Tian's body."
"Zhong Shangshu, I am really not worth it for you."
Zhong Yangming gritted his teeth and looked gloomy.
Liu Aotian had indeed hit his fate. At first, Xiao Tian just talked to him verbally. What evidence could he use?
"You said Zhong Shangshu has no evidence to prove that I did these things." Xiao Tian's lazy voice suddenly sounded from the stage.
Hearing the voice, everyone looked towards the imperial platform.
I saw Xiao Tian leaning forward, resting his elbows on his knees, looking at Liu Aotian: "Does the Prime Minister have evidence to prove that these things have nothing to do with me?"
After Xiao Tian finished speaking, Zhong Yangming's eyes lit up.
Well done, Prince!
Counterattack!
"What the prince said makes sense." Liu Aotian laughed instead and looked around, "Since Zhong Shangshu and I can't convince anyone, why not do this..."
"Since the prince is knowledgeable and talented, he might as well show it off." Liu Aotian said, holding an ancient book in his hand.
"This is an ancient book passed down from generation to generation. How about taking a look at it, Prince?"
Seeing what Liu Aotian took out, everyone's expressions changed.
Zi Ruoyan's pretty face became even more angry: "Prime Minister Liu, what are you going to do!!!"
"Prime Minister, you have gone too far." Zhong Yangming was nearby and couldn't help shouting.
Zhong Lishuang also had a fierce look on her face: "Prime Minister, do you really want to put people to death?"
