"This dog slave, does he still think I'm that weak and useless prince?”
"Haha!"
Lu Qingge sneered in her heart.
But on the surface, he still had a calm attitude.
Facing Eunuch Yang's sarcasm, he did not show any signs of anger.
In fact, he did not even look at Eunuch Yang. Instead, he looked at an official and asked,
"Minister of Rites, I would like to ask you, what is 'imperial power'?”
"What is the ruler of a country?"
The Minister of Rites was stunned. He did not understand why Lu Qingge would ask such a strange question.
He hesitated for a moment before answering,"
"Sovereign power is bestowed by the gods, and imperial power is supreme. This is a power that cannot be surpassed.”
"As the ruler of a country, you have the right to decide on all matters of the entire dynasty.”
Hearing this, many of the officials revealed strange expressions!
Even the Empress Dowager frowned slightly.
She knew that Lu Qingge wouldn't ask this for no reason. She seemed to have some ulterior motive!
"What did Qing Ge eat today?”
"What is he trying to do?"
"Don't tell me you want to show off?”
"But that's good too. It's appropriate to intimidate the ministers, lest those old fellows from the Imperial Clan Court gossip.”
On one hand, the empress dowager wanted to control Lu Qingge.
On the other hand, he hoped that the new emperor would not be too useless!
This was to prevent the Imperial Family's 'foundation' from having any objections.
As long as Lu Qingge showed some potential to be an emperor, it would be a good thing for the Empress Dowager!
Only then would she be able to better control the power.
Therefore, she didn't say anything to stop him. She wanted to see how Lu Qingge would react.
Lu Qingge nodded in satisfaction when she heard the reply from the Minister of Rites.
He turned to the Minister of Justice and asked,"
"Minister of Justice, tell me, what is the crime of despising the imperial power, arrogating the imperial power, and blaspheming my dignity?”
Lu Qingge's tone was icy cold as he spoke!
The entire court was shocked!
Usually, as long as the Empress Dowager was present, the First Prince would be submissive and not even dare to breathe loudly.
Why did he seem to have changed into a different person today?
"Presumably, this is the Empress Dowager's intention."
"The Empress Dowager must have instructed the new Emperor to do this!”
"This is to let the new emperor establish some dignity.”
"Then just cooperate with him."
The officials thought to themselves.
They all believed that Lu Qingge's abnormal behavior was definitely not their intention.
It was the Empress Dowager who was behind it!
Otherwise, with the character of that 'useless prince,' he would never have the guts to do so.
Thinking of this, the Minister of Justice cooperated and said,
"Your Majesty, according to the laws of Da Qian, he should be executed!”
"Moreover, it's a great crime that involves the death of nine families!”
Hearing this, Eunuch Yang's expression changed!
However, when he saw that the empress dowager behind the bead curtain was not moving, he immediately calmed down.
"Hmph, with the Empress Dowager around, what can the new Emperor do to my family?”
"At most, I won't scold him. It won't hurt.”
Eunuch Yang laughed coldly in his heart. He was extremely confident.
He was not the only one who thought this way. Many of the ministers thought the same.
Eunuch Yang was the Empress Dowager's man, so no one could do anything to him.
However, at this moment.
Lu Qingge suddenly shouted coldly,"
"Since the Minister of Justice has said so, then there is no problem.”
"This dog slave dares to blaspheme the imperial power. If we don't kill him, how can we convince the public?”
"Wouldn't the imperial family lose all their face?!”
"Men, hurry up and take this dog slave down!”
"Executioner!"
All the officials in the court were shocked. They did not expect Lu Qingge's reaction to be so intense!
However, everyone's expressions were strange, and no one cooperated with Lu Qingge.
Many officials couldn't help but look behind the beaded curtain.
As long as the Empress Dowager did not speak, no one would dare to act rashly.
Lu Qingge saw everything.
His heart was also solemn!
It wasn't hard to see how powerful the empress dowager was.
He had already said so much, yet no one dared to make a move?
He didn't even reprimand her!
A dog slave, relying on the Empress Dowager's support, could act so mighty to this extent.
It was hard to imagine how terrifying the Empress Dowager's power was!
At this moment, the Empress Dowager finally spoke,"
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Yang is only remonstrating with good intentions. He has no intention of profaning the imperial power.”
"Your Majesty, there's no need to make a mountain out of a molehill."
Hearing this, Eunuch Yang heaved a sigh of relief.
A smug smile appeared on his face again.
The Empress Dowager's words were more effective than anything else.
Even if he really committed a heinous crime, he was innocent!
As expected.
Many ministers immediately echoed,
"Empress Dowager is right."
"Your Majesty is too serious."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. Eunuch Yang did not violate the imperial authority.”
Seeing this, Lu Qingge's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Even a dog slave dares to refute zhen.”
"Such a big crime is actually just a small matter in your mouth and not worth mentioning?”
"Since Zhen has already issued the decree, no one can disobey!”
A majestic and overbearing aura suddenly rose from Lu Qingge's body!
At this moment, he truly had the bearing of a sovereign!
Unfortunately, in the eyes of all the civil and military officials, it was just so-so.
Even if His Majesty insisted, so what?
Those guards would not listen to him!
In the end, he was just slapping his own face.
To put it bluntly, it was asking for humiliation!
Could it be that this new emperor wanted to do it himself?
However, his martial path was mediocre, and he was only a martial artist of the lower three ranks.
Eunuch Yang was a Vajra Realm martial expert!
Even if he stood still, the new Emperor would not be able to hurt him at all…
"Eunuch Cao, are you still not coming out?"
Lu Qingge said expressionlessly.
The system had summoned Cao Zhengchun!
That invincible eunuch in the Celestial Realm!
In the next moment.
A figure flashed out from the back hall like a ghost.
Shifting Shadows!
It was a middle-aged eunuch with a pale face and no beard. He had an aura that made one's heart palpitate!
Many people were shocked!
Many of the expert guards became extremely nervous.
Since when did the palace have an Eunuch Cao?'
This was definitely an unfathomable top-notch expert!
"Your Majesty, this servant is here."
Cao Zhengchun bowed respectfully.
"Drag that dog slave out and behead him.”
Lu Qingge ordered coldly.
"Tsk tsk."
Cao Zhengchun accepted the order. He would not ask for the reason for Lu Qingge's orders and would only carry them out unconditionally!
Even if the palace was filled with experts and hidden dragons and crouching tigers, he would not even frown.
"Who are you?"
"This eunuch has been managing the palace for many years, but why have I never seen a eunuch like you?”
Eunuch Yang revealed an expression of shock, anger, and panic.
He actually couldn't see through the other party's cultivation!
Before he could react, Cao Zhengchun had already appeared behind him.
He dragged him out of the hall like a little chick.
"Ah!"
In the next moment.
A short and mournful scream rang out, fiercely tugging at everyone's hearts!
