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

Xia Zhaoyan suddenly looked at the officials!

For the first time, his eyes held contempt and disdain for them, completely devoid of the respect that should have been shown!

"As subjects, your objections just now constituted insubordination!"

"A subject should have the awareness of a subject; don't let your status as a minister make you forget who you are!"

At this moment, it was as if everyone was seeing Niou for the first time.

Is this still the same peerless and benevolent prince? This arrogant demeanor, the way he looks at them as if they were his servants!

This caused many people to suddenly blush and want to speak, but for a moment they didn't know what to say.

But Xia Zhaoyan did not stop. His aura changed, and a domineering and oppressive aura instantly covered the entire hall.

Although he was only at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, his domineering aura at this moment truly shocked everyone.

Because this aura was something no other prince had ever possessed.

Without a long period of imperial nurturing, it would be impossible to cultivate such an aura.

At this moment, everyone seemed to feel that the young figure standing there was a noble emperor who had stepped out of the river of time!

"Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the earth, all people are the king's subjects!"

"Always remember, you are merely subjects, not the masters of this dynasty!"

"Royal matters are none of the business of servants!"

At that moment, only the first sentence was on everyone's mind.

Under heaven, all land belongs to the king...

Even the Xia Emperor, who was at the head of the table, suddenly clenched his fists, and a surge of passion ignited in his heart!

Domineering!

That's so powerful!

These two sentences truly demonstrate the supreme power of the emperor!

The other princes, however, turned pale, and some even instinctively took a few steps back because of those words.

Xia Zhaoyan's gaze swept over, and upon seeing this scene, a hint of disdain and contempt appeared in his eyes.

This suddenly enraged the princes!

However, at this moment, Xia Zhaoyan looked at the officials once again.

The officials present all looked grim, for King Ren's words had completely exposed their deep-seated inferiority complex.

Tell them clearly that no matter how much they jump around, they are ultimately just servants of my royal family.

My royal family can lift you up, but we also have the power to make you worthless in an instant.

Your status and power are bestowed upon you by our royal family.

"My lords, never forget your place!"

"There are many people in Great Xia who want to replace you. My Heavenly Punishment Division has a lot of information about you."

"Next, anyone who dares to meddle again will have to see if they have a clean backside."

A threat, a blatant threat!

At this moment, although the ministers were filled with boundless rage, none of them dared to speak out.

Looking around, not a single person dared to stand up and refute Xia Zhaoyan's words.

Even the generals in the army remained silent at this moment.

Because of the Heavenly Punishment Division, and because of the Benevolent King's subordinates, there are those who are half-step into the Dragon Transformation Realm and those who are invincible in the Shattered Realm!

After glancing at the officials, Xia Zhaoyan uttered a few words in his mind: a bunch of scoundrels!

How dare they question my right to succeed to the throne?

Only then did he look at the princes.

These people all looked extremely ugly at this moment, watching helplessly as Niou threatened their people.

But they dared not stand up, because what the other party said made sense.

To put it nicely, those people were subjects; to put it bluntly, they were indeed servants of the royal family.

They still understand what it means to rule the world as a family!

"Your objections seem utterly ridiculous and ignorant to me!"

"To deny my qualifications based solely on so-called rules is utterly ridiculous!"

"Don't forget, we are both princes."

"To question or oppose my qualifications is to question yours as well!"

Seeing that the so-called rules were completely worthless and untenable after Xia Zhaoyan's criticism, they realized that the rules were utterly untenable.

So, some people started from other angles.

"Father, since ancient times, no prince has ever held the power of the court."

"If Niou wants to regain his qualifications, he can only do so by relinquishing the Heavenly Punishment Division!"

Some people knew that the so-called rules could not stop Xia Zhaoyan, so they turned their attention to the Heavenly Punishment Division.

"Initially, because King Ni was not qualified to succeed to the throne, he was put in charge of the Heavenly Punishment Division."

"Now that he wants to regain his qualifications, he must relinquish the Heavenly Punishment Bureau and hand it over to the imperial court!"

Xia Zhaoyan scoffed and retorted before the Xia Emperor could speak.

"What, does Your Majesty think I'm not a member of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Are you questioning my identity?

You want me to give up the Heavenly Punishment Bureau? You're dreaming!

So he looked directly at Emperor Xia.

"Father, some people doubt that I am a citizen of Great Xia. What is your opinion?"

What do I think? At this moment, Emperor Xia was completely dumbfounded. Fortunately, the dragon throne was always shrouded in a light mist.

No one else can see what he looks like right now!

He was utterly exasperated with his son; he was shameless and could easily twist the facts.

That's what they meant, but you've misinterpreted it!

The crowd below was speechless. Ren-ou's skill of twisting the facts and making up nonsense had begun again.

When it comes to eloquence, none of the princes present could match him.

Didn't they see that the prince who had just spoken was now so angry that his face had turned purple?

"Father, it is permissible to restore Prince Ren's eligibility to succeed to the throne."

"But the Heavenly Punishment Division must be handed over; it cannot be controlled by a prince vying for the throne!"

Xia Linyuan also spoke up, knowing that he could not stop King Ren from regaining his right to the throne today.

However, his power must be weakened. He had previously been plotting to force King Ni to relinquish Hakugyokukyō, but now he had an even greater objective!

Even if the Benevolent King regains his qualifications after losing the Heavenly Punishment Division, what good will it do?

The other princes also spoke up, requesting Emperor Xia to remove Renwang from his position as Director of the Heavenly Punishment Department.

This amused Xia Zhaoyan; these people really had double standards.

"Gentlemen, you yourselves lack ability, so you blame others for being too capable?"

"Look at you, Xia Qiming. You established your mansion hundreds of years earlier than me, yet you still haven't fully controlled any institution."

Xia Qiming's expression changed drastically in an instant, which was precisely the reason for his deep-seated jealousy of King Ren!

"And look at you, Xia Linyuan. You've been running your own mansion for over a hundred years, and all you know how to do is rely on the Duke's Mansion behind you to recruit martial arts forces."

Anger flashed in Xia Linyuan's eyes, and Xia Zhaoyan tore through his shortsightedness!

"Alright!" Emperor Xia's voice suddenly rang out.

He looked at his sons, some of whom had already lost their Daoist resolve.

He was afraid that if Niou kept talking, someone would die of anger on the spot!

"A decree is hereby issued: effective today, Prince Ren's eligibility for the throne is restored!"

The sound had barely faded!

A dragon's roar echoed above the palace, and golden aura suddenly descended into the hall, merging into the body of the King before everyone's eyes!

At this moment, even the fate of the dynasty acknowledged Xia Zhaoyan!

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed from his pupils.

A suppressed smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth!

He then looked at all the princes present!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the real show is just beginning!"
