Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

No one in the main hall spoke at that moment.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Prime Minister is now attacking King Ren; the others aren't stupid.

Because they knew the details to some extent, they knew that the Prime Minister was not guaranteed to win this time.

Don't they all see that no one from the military, who was just tricked by Niou, has come forward?

I knew that everyone was not optimistic about the Prime Minister's decision to start the group.

This made Zhang Wenjin feel somewhat embarrassed and lose face.

"Damn it, why isn't anyone standing up?"

"I've already used my own family as bait, why don't you all step forward?"

Although Zhang Wenjin was trying to maintain an angry demeanor, her heart was actually sinking.

He knew he had made the wrong bet; these people weren't following his script.

At this moment, Emperor Xia suddenly spoke.

"Niou, what's going on?"

Xia Zhaoyan withdrew the killing intent in his eyes, bowed, and stepped forward.

"Father, this matter needs to be addressed by the person involved."

Having said that, he turned and looked at the back of the procession of officials.

"Sheng Yayu".

Everyone looked behind them and then noticed that there were several unfamiliar officials in the court.

Although each court assembly had nearly a thousand civil and military officials combined.

The sudden appearance of several unfamiliar officials went unnoticed, instantly raising the alarm among some people.

Unbeknownst to many, the Heavenly Punishment Division now had so many people qualified to attend court.

Sheng Yayu quickly arrived at the center of the main hall and bowed to the person above him.

"Your Majesty, I am the Lord of the Arrest Hall of the Heavenly Punishment Division."

"That day in Fengming Prefecture City, it was because the Zhang family cultivators attacked the head of the Heavenly Punishment Division first."

"I had no choice but to take action."

Xia Zhaoyan then waved his hand and turned to Emperor Xia.

"Father, a Grandmaster-level cultivator, dared to attack the Chief of the Heavenly Punishment Division in broad daylight."

"I don't understand why Your Excellency the Prime Minister is still feeling aggrieved!"

"What was the deceased's identity? And what is the identity of the head of the Heavenly Punishment Division?!"

Having said that, he turned to the Prime Minister and said coldly.

"I have not accused the Zhang family of treason; this is already out of consideration for you."

"What, are your elders so precious, while my subordinates, the subjects of Great Xia, deserve to die?"

Zhang Wenjin's face was grim, despite being from a prominent family.

He values ​​the family's honor above all else, but what King Ni said today...

This all demonstrates that in the eyes of the King of Benevolence, his own family members held no status whatsoever, and could hardly be compared to the people of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau.

So what if he's dead? You, the Prime Minister, should be thanking him.

"Nonsense!" Zhang Wenjin retorted.

Then, looking at the Xia Emperor at the head of the table, he bent his knees and knelt down with a thud.

"Your Majesty, my clan elders intervened only to stop the Lord of the Court from killing my clan's descendants."

"I didn't really intend to kill the Chief of the Heavenly Punishment Division!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xia Zhaoyan's disdainful voice rang out.

"What a joke! You say it doesn't exist, but who can prove it?"

Emperor Xia waved his hand and then looked at Xia Zhaoyan.

"Why would the head of your Heavenly Punishment Division kill a descendant of the Prime Minister's family?!"

...

"Father, it was that person who instigated the deputy head of the branch to dare question and threaten the decrees of the Heavenly Punishment Division!"

...

"Disgrace!" Zhang Wenjin shouted, looking up.

"Your Majesty, that person's idea was his own; it wasn't instigated by any of my clan's descendants!"

...

"Of course you won't admit it. Anyway, that deputy chief is dead, so there's obviously no way to prove it!"

At this moment, everyone in the court was utterly speechless.

Anyway, they both realized that they were innocent.

However, everyone still sympathized with the Prime Minister, after all, his family had lost a Grandmaster-level elder.

...

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Punishment Division is abusing its power."

"If he can kill my Zhang family elders at will today, he will dare to kill people from other families at will tomorrow."

"This trend must not be encouraged!"

Xia Zhaoyan inwardly cried out in alarm!

Sure enough, many people in the court frowned at this moment.

Everyone was frightened by the Prime Minister's words. Indeed, the Heavenly Punishment Division now wielded immense power.

It is a guillotine hanging over the heads of all officials, ready to fall at any moment.

At this moment, someone suddenly stood up and spoke.

"Your Highness, neither of you has any evidence to begin with."

"But your subordinates did kill an elder of the Zhang family, and you do need to give the Prime Minister an explanation for this."

Xia Zhaoyan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he spoke in an icy voice.

"What, does Your Majesty mean I should pay with my life?"

The man turned pale with fright, but a glimmer of clarity suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He secretly groaned inwardly, wishing he could slap himself a few times.

Why do you love showing off so much? Didn't you see that no one else came out?

"Your Highness misunderstands, that's not what I meant!"

"I...I..."

He was so anxious he could barely speak!

At this moment, some of the officials couldn't hold back any longer, after all, this person was one of their own.

He angrily retorted, "You can't even speak properly, why don't you go back and reflect on your actions!"

Xia Zhaoyan glanced at that person, giving him face.

He knew he shouldn't offend the other officials now, so he looked at the Prime Minister.

"So what exactly does the Prime Minister want in terms of explanation?"

At this moment, the Xia Emperor suddenly interrupted the two of them.

"Well, it's already happened!"

"The dead cannot be brought back to life. Whether it's the Zhang family or the Heavenly Punishment Division, you are all at fault."

"Your Highness, a Grandmaster from the Prime Minister's family has died. You two go down and discuss how to resolve this!"

A smile appeared on the Prime Minister's face. "Your Majesty, I thank you!"

Xia Zhaoyan appeared calm, but beneath that calmness lurked a murderous intent.

The murderous intent was directed at the Prime Minister; he could understand his father's good intentions at this moment.

He had already been biased enough in favor of himself, and hadn't forced him to give an explanation on the spot.

It was just a private discussion!

Looking at the Prime Minister beside him, Xia Zhaoyan made a decision in his heart: he was going to prepare to give the other party a big surprise!

Damn it, I now have a half-step Dragon Transformation Realm expert in my hands, how could I let you threaten me?

How am I supposed to live in the Great Xia after that? All the prestige I've worked so hard to build up will just collapse in an instant.

"I will give you an explanation!"

The voice was extremely calm, which made everyone feel unfamiliar.

Did Niou just give up so easily?

But Emperor Xia's heart suddenly skipped a beat; he felt that things were not so simple!

However, even if the sky falls, our ancestors will hold it up, so it doesn't matter!

...

Every piece of content from the Super Conference can spread throughout the entire capital city in an instant, even before the day is over.

However, Xia Zhaoyan was not in a good mood when he returned to the palace.

He hadn't expected that the powerful families of Great Xia would become so arrogant.

He dared to threaten me openly in the imperial court, and also put my father on a pedestal.

At this moment, the girls couldn't help but ask Xia Zhaoyan what was wrong.

He then recounted what had happened at the court assembly that day.

"Hmph, all aristocratic families deserve to be killed!" the women said angrily.

"That's right, aristocratic families shouldn't exist," Xia Zhaoyan nodded.

"Since Zhang Wenjin wants an explanation, then I will give him a grand explanation!"

The murderous intent in his tone was completely undisguised!

...
