"Fifth Order: From today on, the Tiansheng Divine Dynasty, Emperor Xiao Chenyuan, and the Great Zhou Empire will be united as one. Officials between the Tiansheng Divine Dynasty and the Great Zhou Empire may be dispatched to each other. However, as a token of gratitude to the Tiansheng Empress, the Great Zhou Empire and the Tiansheng Divine Dynasty will not be merged for now. The Tiansheng Divine Dynasty will retain its current title. If there are any changes in the future, His Majesty the Emperor will consult with the ministers!"
"Sixth Order: From today onwards, a new decree has been added. The Great Zhou Empire and the Tiansheng Divine Dynasty will make the unification of the intermediate and lower-level continents their ultimate goal. All officials must work hard towards this goal. Those who pretend to obey but secretly disobey will be killed without mercy!"
"Seventh Order: From the day His Majesty ascends the throne, all citizens of the Divine Dynasty and Empire may practice martial arts. The Divine Dynasty and Empire will establish martial arts academies throughout the land, gradually replacing the major sects."
"Eighth Order, a new decree has been added. The highest authority in the Empire and the Divine Dynasty belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. No one may disobey His Majesty's will. Anyone who has second thoughts towards His Majesty will be charged with treason and can be executed on the spot."
"The above is the decree drafted by Your Majesty for discussion with the ministers. The ministers are free to express their opinions. If no one questions it in the court today, it will be passed and officially implemented. Anyone who violates these decrees in the future will be punished with death!"
…
The eight great orders, every time they were read out from Tian Yan's mouth, shocked the ministers of the Tiansheng Divine Dynasty. A considerable number of these orders had the power to shake the original model of the Tiansheng Divine Dynasty.
Once these eight orders are implemented within the Divine Dynasty, Xiao Chen will be able to hold all the power to appoint and dismiss officials in his own hands. The Tiansheng Divine Dynasty will become Xiao Chen's one-man show, and no one will dare to oppose him.
This is not the most fatal thing. The most fatal thing is that the court officials of the Tiansheng Divine Dynasty will be replaced. The power and wealth of many people may disappear in an instant. This is the most unacceptable thing for the ministers.
Another thing that made the ministers feel uncomfortable was that Xiao Chen wanted to start a trend of martial arts training for all the people, which also endangered the interests of the ministers in the court. These ministers in the court were either from big families or from big sects, and were used to living a high and mighty life. If the trend of martial arts training for all the people started, their status would also be threatened.
As for future orders to conquer other continents, these court officials didn't care. There weren't many opportunities for them to go to the battlefield anyway. Those were the affairs of the soldiers and a small number of generals.
Therefore, nearly half of the ministers in the court at this moment were extremely resistant to Xiao Chen's orders, but with the previous experience of Fu Hunran and others, they did not dare to stand up and oppose Xiao Chen.
Not to mention the Emperor's own strength, the strength of the confidants he brought with him is also unknown. The most important thing is that the Shen Ce Army, the personal army of Empress Tiansheng, is now completely under the control of Xiao Chen.
The Shen Ce Army is the most powerful army in the entire Tiansheng Divine Dynasty. Although its number is small, it is enough to kill all the ministers in the hall. Moreover, the Shen Ce Army is absolutely loyal to the emperor and independent of the court's military system.
The previous mission of the Shen Ce Army was to protect the Empress Tiansheng. Not many people have seen them, but it’s not that no one has seen them.
Among those shadow guards wearing black armor just now, there were many soldiers of the Shen Ce Army. It was obvious that the new emperor had recruited the Shen Ce Army for his own use and reorganized it.
With these Shen Ce troops around, no minister in the court dared to openly oppose Xiao Chen.
Just as everyone fell silent, at a loss for words, Gongsun Kai suddenly stood up, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to obey your command. I have no objection to any of your orders!"
Although Xiao Chen established four regents, headed by Tian Yan, Gongsun Kai's current powers were undoubtedly greatly weakened, but Gongsun Kai was still very satisfied with his current position.
He used to be just a general, not even a regent, and his current position is much higher than before.
Moreover, as the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. When the new emperor Xiao Chen ascended the throne, he still reused an old minister from the reign of Empress Tiansheng. This was a great grace. How could he have any objection?
Gongsun Kai is the new upstart in the court. One-third of the court ministers stand with him. Now seeing Gongsun Kai stand up and express his loyalty to Xiao Chen, the officials of Gongsun Kai's faction dare not neglect him.
These people stood up one after another and bowed to Xiao Chen, saying, "We all agree with your majesty's order!"
All the officials of Gongsun Kai's faction expressed their submission. The neutral factions in the court, whether they were afraid of Xiao Chen's strength and did not dare to compete with him, or they were just fence-sitters who followed the crowd, all stood up.
"We also support the Emperor's order!"
After these neutrals stood up, only a handful of diehards remained in the entire court, less than one-third.
These diehards now saw that Xiao Chen had already won the upper hand, and more than two-thirds of the ministers chose to support the eight decrees drafted by Xiao Chen. Their faces turned extremely ugly, and they all stood in place with their eyes wandering.
Xiao Chen also looked at these people coldly. After a moment, Xiao Chen said in a cold voice: "What about you? What are your opinions? Tian Yan has just said that if you have any opinions, raise them immediately. It will be too late to raise them after today."
Upon hearing this, these diehards all shuddered. They knew that they were no longer able to resist Xiao Chen.
Thinking of this, the diehards took a deep breath, then stood up and said in unison: "We have no objection to the Emperor's order and are willing to carry it out unconditionally."
Although it was a court meeting, it was just a formality. Xiao Chen used his own method to tell everyone who would be the master of the future Tiansheng Divine Dynasty. Under his rule, no one could question his authority.
As for these diehards, although they had expressed their loyalty to Xiao Chen, their previous hesitation also made Xiao Chen realize that these people would not really have no objections, but Xiao Chen did not care.
Tian Yan had already noted down the identities and official positions of these people, so he would have plenty of time to deal with them.
Xiao Chen slowly stood up from the throne and said, "Since everyone has no objection, let's end today's court meeting here! The four regents, please come to the imperial study. There are some vacancies that need to be discussed."
Xiao Chen brought Bai Qi and others to the Golden Palace not to let them show off, but for the real purpose of letting the officials of the Tiansheng Divine Dynasty know them and to pave the way for arranging their positions in the future.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen stood up from the dragon throne and left with Dian Qing and Tian Yan.
Gongsun Kai, Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang, the three regents, and Bai Qi, the newly appointed general of the Divine Dynasty, also hurriedly followed, leaving the ministers looking at each other in bewilderment in the Golden Palace.
They didn't expect that this highly anticipated court meeting would end like this?
