Chief Minister
"This is blatant overstepping his bounds. Wasn't His Majesty rumored to be in a coma? If so, how did he manage to announce this?"
Document management,
"In my opinion, it was all Xu Tian's idea. He has now become too powerful and doesn't respect the Emperor at all."
Civil officials,
“We absolutely cannot allow Xu Tian to do this; he simply wants to take over.”
Although the people were speaking very quietly, Xu Tian heard all of their voices.
Xu Tian knew they would say that.
I had already prepared myself mentally.
He gave a cold laugh to himself.
At that moment, Zhang Hetang stepped forward from among the court officials.
"Xu Tian, I see that you are harboring ulterior motives and want to take advantage of His Majesty's critical illness to usurp the throne, don't you?"
Upon hearing Zhang Hetang's words, Xu Tian glanced at him directly.
Zhang Hetang stepped forward.
Several ministers also stepped forward and addressed Xu Tian.
“Lord Zhang is right. Your Highness, I also believe that you have ulterior motives. His Majesty is critically ill. How can you announce such a thing? This is all fabricated by you alone.”
"If you want everyone to believe that what you said is true and effective, then let His Majesty issue an edict himself; otherwise, we simply cannot believe it."
Xu Tian had already anticipated that these people would say such things.
He only spoke slowly after everyone had finished speaking.
"Didn't you already say that His Majesty is critically ill and in a coma? In that case, how can he issue an edict? Do you expect His Majesty to come out and explain it to you in person?"
Xu Tian smiled softly as he looked at the civil official who had just spoken.
"If you believe you are more qualified than His Majesty, you can do so now. Send someone to announce that His Majesty should come out."
The way he spoke made it seem as if this subject was of higher rank than the emperor.
Xu Tian then addressed the remaining ministers who were dissatisfied with him:
"You all believe what I said is false. Whoever thinks it is false can go in and explain it to His Majesty. If you think you are smarter than His Majesty, you are welcome to go in and have a good talk with him."
"Zhang Hetang, I have shown you some leniency because you are a founding father. However, you are completely unrestrained in front of your ministers. Are you the same in front of His Majesty?"
Zhang Hetang heard Xu Tian say this.
He felt that Xu Tian's words were directed at him personally.
Even so, if he were to actually respond, it would be a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for Xu Tian.
Wouldn't that be putting His Majesty in a difficult position?
He was about to step forward.
But then King Yinglan suddenly spoke up:
“The Prince is right. If you question the Prince now, you are undoubtedly questioning His Majesty.”
"Since His Majesty has already decreed that all matters should be handled by the Prince during his illness, then this matter is already settled."
With that, King Yinglan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"Since the decree has been issued, I am willing to submit to the Prince's regency."
Everyone heard this, even King Yinglan said so.
Those civil and military officials who had originally opposed Xu Tian were instantly surprised.
They each had their own thoughts.
Xu Tian said coldly, "Anyone can offer their opinions today. If you think that I am not up to this important task, you can say so directly."
"Anyone who believes they have the ability to stand in my position can speak up directly, and I will relinquish this position right now."
"However, as for whether you have the real ability, I have no idea."
Xu Tian had already gone this far.
If anyone dares to stand up and stop it, wouldn't their intention to deliberately oppose them be quite obvious?
