Chapter 913: Mandated by Heaven, may you live long and prosper.
For a moment, the hall was silent.
Everyone looked up at the platform at the same time.
Li Mu was seen wearing a black robe with dark python patterns, sitting on the dragon throne.
He glanced at the ministers with a half-smile on his face.
Everyone was stunned and forgot to speak for a moment.
It was not because of Li Mu’s handsome appearance, nor was it because he was in the court holding a pretty little maid’s hand.
Just because the Prince of Zhennan actually sat on the dragon throne.
Is he planning a rebellion?
Zhuge Ping was the first to react, and he shouted angrily subconsciously.
"Li Mu! You are so brave!"
After the words fell, the ministers came back to their senses from their shock. Feng Cheng, who was already furious, became even more furious and roared,
"How dare you, Shuzi!"
"Qingyi..." The queen, who had just walked to the door of the back hall, paused, hesitated for a moment, showed an anxious expression, and shook her head at Li Mu.
"You, you go back first. With me here, no one will embarrass you..."
Li Mu glanced at the queen. She was not wearing any makeup, and her eyes were slightly red. She looked a bit pitiful. After a slight hesitation, he waved his hand casually and said,
"If you are feeling unwell, please go back and rest."
"This..." The queen choked and stared at Li Mu blankly for a long time. Then she shook off Nanny Xian's hand and walked back behind the pearl curtain angrily.
Want her to leave? No way!
Since you don't want to live in the land of comfort and insist on getting involved in this mess, I'll just wait and see how you end up.
The Queen just didn't believe it. Could Li Mu kill all the court officials present?
So what if I can fight?
You can kill hundreds or thousands of people, but can you kill the 20,000 imperial guards in the palace?
Can you, Li Mu, kill the 80,000 soldiers guarding the city?
Not to mention the 200,000 troops that returned to the Dynasty.
The queen snorted softly, and said as if to compromise.
"You can sit in this seat if you like. I am just a woman, what can I say?"
Seeing that the queen looked like a bullied woman, the ministers dared not say anything.
They still remember that when Emperor Hongwen was alive, Li Mu dared to kill the Grand Censor directly. Now that Emperor Hongwen has passed away, won’t this guy be even more lawless?
Everyone was silent, with their heads down, pretending they saw nothing.
Even Zhuge Ping retreated to the center of the crowd.
I was the first to speak out in a moment of impulse, and now I regret it so much.
"Why aren't you arguing anymore?"
Li Mu glanced at the ministers, chuckled, and said lightly,
"This king, appointed by heaven, shall live long and prosper forever."
"No one is sitting on this chair, so I will sit here today. Who is in favor of this, and who is against it?"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Miaomiao's face turned slightly red, and she moved closer to Li Mu and reminded him in a low voice,
"Your Majesty, you are only the regent, nominally the assistant minister... No, you cannot use these four words, and you also cannot sit here."
Ye Miaomiao lowered her head and did not dare to look at His Highness and his ministers.
Zhang Hanrui asked her to keep an eye on Li Mu and not let him do anything wrong.
How could she know that Li Mu would actually hold her in his arms and sit on the throne.
If she hadn't resisted desperately, she would still be in Li Mu's arms.
Even the tyrants in the novels were not as arrogant as Li Mu.
"Is that so?" Li Mu turned his head and wanted to pull Ye Miaomiao to sit down together.
The little girl had not slept much last night after tossing and turning for half the night. Now she had to go to court with him. It was impossible for Li Mu not to feel distressed.
Of course he knew that the dragon throne could not be sat on casually.
But what happened last night reminded him.
As long as you don't take full power, troubles will follow.
He really has no interest in engaging in these so-called "power struggles" with these people.
The prince who is the regent is, in the final analysis, still a subject.
He doesn't care about these so-called titles, but wants the supreme power.
Sometimes, harmony may not necessarily bring wealth, but it will definitely make some people have thoughts that they shouldn’t have.
"You thief! Others may be afraid of you, but I am not! If you have the guts, kill me and let the world see what kind of person the Green-robed Exiled Immortal is!"
Seeing that Li Mu was still arguing with the maid in the hall, Feng Cheng's anger had already overcome his rationality.
When he thought that his daughter might have been harmed by this beast last night, he wanted to rush up and tear Li Mu apart.
"Feng Cheng?" Li Mu tilted his head and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, his expression gradually becoming strange.
Thinking of the delicate and weak little girl among the eight people, who would probably cry for a long time if she got hit, I couldn't help but ask a question.
"Are you sure your daughter is your biological daughter?"
When Feng Cheng saw Li Mu looking at him, he rolled up his sleeves and blood energy spread throughout his body.
His already muscular muscles expanded again, obviously performing some secret technique to temporarily increase his strength.
"Master Feng!"
Seeing this, Lu Chongyun was about to stop him.
Mu Zhen on the side held him in his arms and shook his head slightly.
"Let's see first, Qing Yi is not a person without sense of propriety."
At this moment, Li Mu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, raised his hand and a cold light shot towards Feng Cheng.
Many officials closed their eyes and thought to themselves, "It's over."
The queen has obviously been held hostage by Li Mu. She should just pretend to be friendly with this thug. How could she provoke him?
However, the expected tragedy did not happen.
Feng Cheng just let out a light exclamation and looked down at the ground in front of him.
A jade hairpin holding a neatly folded embroidered handkerchief was firmly nailed in front of his feet.
Feng Cheng recognized this pearl hairpin; it was put on Feng Guaiguai by her mother before she entered the palace.
Feng Cheng is not a stupid man. Even if Li Mu took possession of his daughter, he would not be able to get this red hairpin of extraordinary significance.
Unless... it was given to this person specially by his daughter?
"This is for Lord Feng. Lord Feng, why don't you take a look at it first?"
Li Mu knocked on the dragon table with a neutral tone.
Feng Cheng hurriedly opened the embroidered handkerchief and looked at the beautiful small words on it. After a moment, he looked at Li Mu.
After hesitating for a moment, he actually bowed to Li Mu and said respectfully,
"Tingwei Mansion Chief Justice Feng Cheng, to see the Prince of Zhennan!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar, and all turned their eyes to the embroidered handkerchief in Feng Cheng's hand.
As everyone knows, Feng Cheng has a strong personality and is an absolute daughter slave.
Could it be that Li Mu threatened Feng Cheng's daughter's life?
Not only the officials, but even Ye Miaomiao was a little curious. After hesitating for a moment, she grabbed the corner of her clothes and asked,
"Your Majesty, then, what exactly is written on it?"
"This..." Li Mu scratched his chin, and the embarrassment on his face disappeared in an instant.
He also didn't expect that Feng Guaiguai, who seemed so weak, would write such a 'unique' letter to persuade her father.
There were hundreds of elegant words written on the embroidered handkerchief.
But the central idea is one.
"Father, my daughter has cheated on me. From now on, I will only be with the Prince of Zhennan. I hope you will not let me lose face in my husband's family."
"Tattoo!"
At this time, Li Mu tapped the dragon table in front of him twice, glanced at the ministers, and asked,
"Does anyone else have anything to say?"
The officials were silent.
Li Mu cast his gaze towards Zhuge Ping who was hiding in the crowd and chuckled.
"The Right Prime Minister seemed to have something to say just now."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Ping's face changed, knowing that he could not escape this disaster today.
He looked at the queen behind the pearl curtain and saw that her face was miserable and she looked like she was trying to make peace with herself. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily,
"Li Mu! You've caused chaos in the harem and held the queen hostage. The world may tolerate you, but I cannot!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Ping put his fingers together to form a sword and appeared above the dragon table in the blink of an eye.
"The thief shall die!"
His hair and beard stood on end, and his robes rustled as his inner energy surged. The pressure from a warrior at the Heavenly Man Realm instantly filled the entire hall.
Many court officials were affected and could not even stand steadily. They knelt on the ground, one after another.
However, Li Mu just glanced at him indifferently, and patted Ye Miaomiao's fair and slender little hand to comfort her, and then he uttered two words indifferently,
"Take it."
