I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 855

The Golden Throne Hall was deathly silent, so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

The officials stared at the Crown Prince in disbelief.

Since the founding of the Great Yuan by the Grand Ancestor, the concept that "Imperial Power is ordained by Heaven" was established.

This so-called "Heaven" is not tangible, but represents the absolute authority of the cosmic order, with the Emperor acting as Heaven's worldly agent, overseeing the people with the mandate of Heaven.

The mandate of Heaven and Imperial Power are closely intertwined, inseparable. The Crown Prince's statement is tantamount to dismantling the authority of the Imperial Family!

The veteran ministers standing at the forefront furrowed their brows, their hearts stirring with shockwaves.

The Crown Prince is young and unrestrained in his words, occasionally making a mistake is understandable.

However, his statements were clear and coherent, especially the phrase "human words are untrustworthy, the mandate of Heaven is not to be feared" - it is unlikely to have come from the Crown Prince himself, it must have been taught to him!

What is the purpose?

Currently, multiple officials in the court have fallen, key positions remain vacant, could this be an opportunity for a major reshuffle?

A few glances were subtly directed towards the bamboo curtain.

"Your Highness, mind your words!"

Ding Yi, the Minister of Rites, first broke the silence and said sternly, "The Crown Prince is destined by the mandate of Heaven, how could one defy the will of Heaven? Such actions would disrupt propriety and morality!"

Mei Zhong, with white whiskers trembling, stepped forward cautiously: "The Grand Ancestor's teachings are clear, 'The mandate of Heaven is the foundation of the nation,' without the protection of the mandate of Heaven, how could the kingdom endure for a thousand years? This is the lifeblood of the Great Yuan!"

After speaking, he prostrated on the ground, shouting, "I, for the Earth God and altars, implore, Your Highness, retract your words!"

Clang—

At the foot of the steps, the officials fell like tides, their voices urging like thunder:

"The mandate of Heaven cannot be defied!"

"These are words of a nation-destroyer!"

"We plead Your Highness to retract your words immediately!"

Lv Huaiyu stood at the forefront, his tall figure immovable, his expression stern as he glanced askance at the crowd.

These old codgers usually sit steadily, undisturbed by any sky-falling. Now, concerning their vested interests, they jump out impatiently, which is amusing to contemplate.

The Crown Prince was startled by the scene, involuntarily shrinking back.

He never thought that just by expressing a few heartfelt words, it would evoke such intense reactions.

"Silence!"

The voice of Eunuch Jin exploded in everyone's ears, causing a stabbing pain in their eardrums.

The previously noisy Golden Throne Hall finally quieted down.

From behind the bamboo curtain, the Empress's calm voice sounded: "Master Lv, were these words taught by you?"

"..."
