After a good night's sleep, the emperor put on all the life-saving items sent by Wu Yan, and even his guards wore a set.

Before leaving, he confirmed with everyone again, then went to the front hall to attend court with a calm expression.

The interstellar empire is huge, and there are all kinds of affairs, big and small, that need to be dealt with every day. All those reported are major events that concern the survival and development of many people.

Therefore, the emperor, the ministers and the ministers of various departments held meetings and discussions together, and rested for two days a week. They might also hold meetings online during those two days.

The emperor sat on the golden dragon throne and waited for the ministers and officials to pay their respects before he asked, "Any important news to report today?"

The elders all looked calm and composed, watching the situation from the inside out. However, the ministers explained the matter according to the rules.

After half a morning of dealing with affairs, the emperor looked a little tired and looked at Wu Xiang. The latter immediately said, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court!"

At this moment, Wang Ge Lao did not even stand up, but smiled and said: "Emperor, why are you in such a hurry to leave? These things have been dealt with, but we have discovered a demon cave on the twelve planets. Isn't this a matter of life and death for millions of people?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. From ancient times to the present, whenever we encounter a demonic plague, we have always taken the approach of taking those who have made great contributions to human development and possessed outstanding talents from the planet before the demonic plague completely breaks out and placing them on secondary planets for isolation.

After the devil plague is discovered on the secondary star, a second transfer and isolation will be carried out. Only through continuous dilution and isolation can the devil plague be completely blocked.

Not only did you fail to take effective measures this time, you also stubbornly continued to send elite warriors to the planet where the demon cave was discovered. Haha, I have lived for so long and read many historical records, but I have never seen anyone rise to the challenge like this..."

"Haha, this is more than just rising to the challenge, it's clearly because he's afraid of living too long and running into a gun! There's nothing he can do about it, he was born into an imperial family, and he's an emperor whose word is law, for his face and glory.

He was willing to sacrifice the lives of elite soldiers just to gain a good reputation, without caring about their lives... He was stupid and greedy, and he wanted to persuade us to send elite soldiers over to win the hearts of the people.

I think he feels that his power is not big enough, and he wants to get rid of him..."

The ministers were so angry that they wanted to hide their heads under the table. Although the emperor's power was hollowed out, he was still the emperor. Normally, the ministers would ignore the emperor, but why did they confront him directly today without giving him any face?

They glanced at each other secretly and smiled bitterly. If they had known that there would be a fight between gods today, they, the little devils, would have asked for leave and stayed home no matter what!

The emperor looked indifferent. He did not feel embarrassed by being criticized. Instead, he picked up the tea and drank it leisurely.

The ministers looked unhappy and said, "Emperor, we are talking to you about serious matters. What's your attitude? If the people see you being selfish and only caring about holding on to power, they will tear you apart.

The people outside are suffering from the evil spirit group. Instead of actively dealing with it, you are eager for quick success and make the wrong choice..."

The emperor laughed softly, "At least I actively sent soldiers. Why don't you do anything but blame me? Don't tell me that I am the emperor and have this responsibility, but you don't.

You blame me when something goes wrong, but you spread the credit when nothing goes wrong? You old guys are smashing your abacus beads in my face!"

The ministers did not expect that the emperor would dare to speak out these things openly. This was no less than a direct fallout between them.

Dai Ge Lao sneered, "The emperor has finally revealed his claws. Do you want to negate all our efforts and replace them with people who listen to you and have no foundation?"

"The emperor must have been resentful of us for a long time. It's hard for him to endure for so long. He might be secretly building up his own power and uprooting us..."

"I said the most hypocritical person is the emperor who usually pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. No one wants to be controlled. As an emperor, he can't do whatever he wants. He can't stand us old men meddling in everything, and now he is about to make a big mistake.

You don't think that you can get away with driving us out of the court, disregarding the lives of the soldiers, and foolishly fighting against the evil spirit group with an egg against a rock?"

The other ministers, led by Minister Dai, all rebuked the emperor.

The emperor smiled. He said one thing, but they could criticize him with a lot of words. He continued to drink tea carelessly and let them chat.

Dai Ge Lao frowned. What he disliked most was the emperor's calm attitude even when the sky fell. Even though he controlled all the power in the court, the emperor did not feel embarrassed by being constrained by others. He stood straight and still had the demeanor of an emperor.

"Emperor, we are going to make it clear to you today that you are not qualified to be an emperor. The Wu family's imperial mandate ends with you! We are doing this for your own good. When the demonic plague spreads, you can't afford the public outrage.

Now you have realized your mistake and abdicated, allowing capable people among us to take office and turn the tide in time to minimize the impact and losses.

Otherwise, when the people are filled with resentment, we, the noble families, will also be buried with the emperor's stupidity!"

The emperor curled his lips and said, "Dai Cheng, if you want to rebel and usurp the throne, just say so directly, don't put the blame on me one after another.

I'm sure you've heard that yesterday a team that went to provide support came back with good news. They were the first group, but definitely not the last.

I don't need to tell you what their mental state is like, I'm sure you've already found out, right?"

"Who knows if this is a smokescreen that you, the Emperor, deliberately showed us? No one can fight against the evil spirit and remain unscathed, or even have their mental strength restored."

At this point, the ministers became more and more convinced that the emperor was playing the empty city trick with them.

"Ha, I think you are too confident, aren't you? The times are progressing, and the economy, science, technology, humanities, and so on are all developing. How come you don't know that we have already grasped the code for the magic energy group and the recovery of mental power?

This is a matter of life and death for the entire galaxy. Whoever holds it will be the master of the world!

What do you have?" The emperor sneered.

"This is hilarious, Emperor. You need countless lies to cover up one lie you told. Can a ball of magic energy repair mental strength? Don't you think that fighting poison with poison is also applicable here?

Ever since people knew the power of the evil spirit, they have been committed to studying and overcoming it, but this is not something that can be thoroughly studied by science alone.

We still have no idea, how come you guys came up with results without saying anything?"
