"Secondly, he just said that Qin Yi killed an official of the imperial court."
Lv Yuanxiao spoke again. "I do not intend to deny this point."
Everyone's expressions changed. They had thought that the other party would quibble and deny it at this time.
But now, Lv Yuanxiao actually admitted it without hesitation.
This caused them to be at a loss for what to do, and they didn't know how to respond.
"But so what if he killed them?"
Lv Yuanxiao said in a clear voice, "That was Xia Yuquan, right? I know this person. He is a good-for-nothing without much ability who only knows how to bootlick. I wonder if any of you have any objections to what I said? "
The entire place was dead silent. Everyone lowered their heads in silence.
Xia Yuquan was a tactful person, so he had always thought that his relationship with others in the imperial court was not bad. Almost everyone was called a friend by him.
Ironically, these people whom he treated as friends had no intention of speaking up for him. They didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. They were afraid that they would say something wrong and offend the other party, causing them to lose their lives.
But in reality, everyone knew what kind of person he was.
What Lv Yuanxiao said was not a threat, but a correct and realistic point of view.
Because of this, even if they wanted to speak up for Xia Yuquan, they couldn't find any justifiable reason or excuse.
"It seems that you don't have much of an opinion about what I said."
Lv Yuanxiao said indifferently, "What's the point of someone like him staying in the imperial court? Killing him is the right choice and the best outcome. As for the person who spoke up for him, although I don't know him, since he would speak up for someone like Xia Yuquan, I don't think he's any better, right? Since that's the case, killing him is killing him. "
The scene fell into a deathly silence. Lv Yuanxiao's words seemed to be an explanation, but in reality, was it not a warning to others?
At this time, if anyone dared to speak up for trash like Xia Yuquan and oppose his decision, it was equivalent to being classified as the same type of person as Xia Yuquan.
If it really came to this, they would probably end up the same way, right?
"Alright, I've now explained the questions that have confused you."
Lv Yuanxiao said indifferently, "Next, it's time to enter the main topic. Lv Yuanlong was dead, and the position of emperor was vacant. I would like to ask, if I want to be the Emperor, what reason do you have to object? "
The moment he said that, the expressions of the officials in the hall turned even uglier.
They had thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't find a single reason to oppose Lv Yuanxiao.
Back then, Lv Yuanlong also killed the Emperor and usurped the throne. Although there were objections at that time, he still sat firmly on the throne in the end. What was the reason behind this?
First of all, one's bloodline.
What Lv Yuanlong possessed was the legitimate bloodline of the royal family. Although he was not a legitimate son, he was still the old emperor's son. After killing the previous emperor, he had an absolute reason to ascend the throne in the name of his biological brother!
And Lv Yuanxiao was the same as him. He also had the direct bloodline of the royal family. He also had a legitimate reason to become the next emperor of Jade Willow Country.
The second point was his ability.
To be honest, Lv Yuanxiao's ability had always been recognized as the highest among all the Dukes.
Even the previous emperor, Lv Yuanlong, could not compare to him in this aspect, much less the other Dukes.
Without a doubt, if Lv Yuanxiao were to manage Jade Willow Country, it would definitely become a better place for the country.
With this bloodline and the corresponding ability, he had a legitimate reason to ascend the throne.
To be honest, it was difficult for them to find an excuse to oppose Lv Yuanxiao's ascension to the throne.
What's more, Lv Yuanxiao still had such a terrifying group of people supporting her.
Thinking of this, they finally began to carefully observe the group that came with Lv Yuanxiao. At this time, they discovered to their surprise that Lv Yuanxiao's supporters were not just powerful cultivators like Qin Yi.
There was also a very powerful family in their group — the Liu Family!
As the family that had supported Lv Yuanlong all the way until he became emperor, the Liu Family might not be much weaker than the other families in terms of strength, but in terms of reputation, they were much more famous than the other families.
Even after becoming emperor, Lv Yuanlong had the intention of burning the bridge after crossing it, and had always been against the Liu Family. But this was all in the dark. On the surface, the Liu Family was still a family that had been conferred a title by Lv Yuanlong, and their reputation was not something the other families could compare to.
In addition, the Liu Family had a cooperative relationship with the number one alchemy power, Qingdan House. Their foundation was very strong.
Having the Liu Family's support was equivalent to having the support of Qingdan House. Just from this alone, Lv Yuanxiao's advantage was enormous.
In addition, there was also Chu Zhenghao, the capable person that Lv Yuanlong had been looking for.
In their group, they also saw the second elder of the Brushing Willow Sect. The meaning of this was self-evident.
In the end, their gazes still focused on Qin Yi and the few powerful warriors and beasts beside him.
The name "Qin Yi" suddenly reminded them of the youth that had caused a lot of trouble in Jade Willow Country a few years ago.
Before, they had been thinking about Qin Yi's strength and did not notice this at all. Now that they thought about it, they felt like they were dreaming.
With such a luxurious group supporting them, even if all the officials in the court were against it, what use would it be?
What right did they have to go against Lv Yuanxiao?
Originally, they had the Imperial Guards. But now, even Dai Hongwen, the only person who could command the Imperial Guards, was on the other side. Although they had many people, they were completely isolated and helpless.
Thinking of this, everyone could not help but sigh. Obviously, no matter what they said, it was useless. They were powerless to change anything!
"Your subject greets Your Majesty!"
After a brief psychological battle, the officials finally expressed their respect to Lv Yuanxiao in unison.
Then, they knelt on the ground in an orderly manner and bowed to Lv Yuanxiao, completely acknowledging Lv Yuanxiao's status as emperor.
