The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

Actually, there was nothing very important to discuss at this court session. Chen Nan was just checking to see if anyone would dare not attend.

After confirming that the city gates were completely sealed, he nodded and said, "Since everyone is confident, I have nothing more to say. Everyone should just do their jobs."

After hearing this, everyone felt reassured; at least Chen Nan wouldn't kill people indiscriminately today.

Just as the court was about to adjourn, Qin Qingmin suddenly stood up and said, "Chen Nan, are you really trying to bring about the downfall of my Northern Wei?"

Chen Nan was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Qin Qingmin would still dare to jump out even now.

"I don't understand what Qin Xueyuan means by this. How did I cause the downfall of Northern Wei?"

Qin Qingmin said sternly, "The Empress Dowager is in a coma. Our Northern Wei should have the young emperor attending court. You, Chen Nan, are just a prince. What right do you have to organize the court officials to attend court?"

"May I ask Your Highness, is this not an overstepping of authority? Is this not a betrayal of my Northern Wei?"

"If the Empress Dowager remains in a coma, does that mean that Northern Wei will continue to be ruled by you, Chen Nan?"

"Moreover, we are all subjects of the Northern Wei, yet we cannot even see the Empress Dowager. Chen Nan, what are your true intentions?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else was also shocked.

They then realized that what Qin Qingmin said made a lot of sense.

They all served the Northern Wei Dynasty and were its subjects.

But now, they all obey Chen Nan's orders. So what is the young emperor? What is the Empress Dowager of Northern Wei?

Most importantly, they could never see the Empress Dowager, and they knew nothing about her specific situation.

If Chen Nan really had the guts to murder the Empress Dowager and then hide her from everyone, wouldn't that be treason?

Chen Nan sneered. He had figured it out. Qin Qingmin was just using the Empress Dowager as an excuse to make trouble for him and wanted to isolate him along with everyone else.

However, given the precedent of Hongze being poisoned, he truly dared not allow this group of people to appear before the Empress Dowager.

As for Qin Qingmin, Chen Nan never knew what his purpose was, which is why he never took action against him.

Now it seems that Qin Qingmin has really had enough of living.

As Chen Nan thought about it, the way he looked at Qin Qingmin was no longer so kind.

The dozens of officials in Fengtian Hall remained silent, all staring at Chen Nan, who was also staring back at them.

As time passed, the murderous intent on Chen Nan's face became almost realistic.

Before he could even make a move, Qin Qingmin coldly shouted, "Chen Nan, now that things have come to this, do you still intend to force us to submit through violence?"

"Let me tell you, once I am an official of Northern Wei, I will be an official of Northern Wei for life. Do you really think you can make us obey you with such brutal methods?"

As tensions rose between the two sides, Changsun Du chuckled and said, "Qin Academy, please say less. Your Highness, please don't blame them."

"The ministers are all concerned for the safety of my Empress Dowager of Northern Wei. Your Highness, please bear with us."

"Qin Xueyuan, you should also remain silent. The Prince naturally has his reasons."

Changsun Du had intended to persuade the two to separate, but after he finished speaking, Qin Qingmin coldly said, "Hmph, Changsun Du, you're nothing but a spineless dog. You believe whatever Chen Nan says?"

"If he were to say in the future that he had become the emperor of Northern Wei and bestowed upon you the title of 'One-Character King', would you believe him?"

Changsun Du was taken aback; he hadn't considered this question before.

For a moment, even he was lost in deep thought.

Indeed, everything Chen Nan did before was for the Northern Wei.

But the situation is different now. The Empress Dowager is in a coma, and there is internal strife in Northern Wei. On the surface, only Chen Nan can lead the charge in Northern Wei.

Don't forget, he was also the Right Chancellor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Couldn't he have been that person?

Even if it were a young emperor ruling and in charge of overseeing the country, it should be the left and right prime ministers working together.

This also helps avoid a situation where one company dominates the market.

As his thoughts unfolded, Changsun Du seemed to have made up his mind, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

Seeing this, Chen Nan chuckled: "What? Changsun Du, have you made up your mind? Do you want to stand on the opposite side of this king?"

Changsun Du chuckled twice: "What are you saying, Your Highness?"

"As the Right Chancellor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, I have the right to know about the court's decisions, including the current situation of the Empress Dowager."

"Does Your Highness truly intend to seize power alone? Does he really believe he can save Northern Wei from its dire straits by himself?"

"Does Your Highness truly believe you are a savior?"

At this moment, Chen Nansheng had the idea of ​​leaving Northern Wei.

He knew that if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.

However, the former Empress Dowager of Northern Wei trusted him so much that she even bestowed upon him the title of prince upon his arrival.

He was also generous with military power, readily giving away an army of 200,000 men.

Even if he ends up as a deputy commander, it's just to silence public opinion.

Furthermore, after the war ended, Hongming's military power was immediately taken back, while Chen Nan always carried his military seal with him.

With that thought in mind, he completely abandoned the idea of ​​leaving.

Chen Nan shook his head and said, "Gentlemen, is there anyone else who thinks I am too autocratic? Step forward, and I will give you an explanation."

No one from the military side spoke up.

In their minds, martial prowess has always been paramount. Chen Nan is more powerful than them, and they are willing to obey his orders.

Even if Chen Nan were to change dynasties in the future, so what? Who wouldn't want to follow a strong person?

However, the civil officials were more concerned with their own interests.

During the Empress Dowager's reign, their own interests were significantly diminished.

Now, during Chen Nan's regency, the little power they have left has been taken over by others.

Therefore, they were naturally unwilling to follow Chen Nan.

On the civil officials' side, most of them looked eager to take action.

At this moment, Chen Nan had a smile on his face, but that smile was somewhat cold and even a little sinister.

It was as if anyone who dared to step forward would be torn apart from their body in the next second.

Qin Qingmin chuckled inwardly as he saw the civil officials' condition.

He didn't step forward; he had already achieved his goal.

What he wanted was to make the Northern Wei Dynasty even more chaotic, and who the leader of the Northern Wei Dynasty was none of his business.

In his view, no matter who it is now, in the end only he can sit in this position.

Chen Nan looked at the restless courtiers and sneered, "Didn't you all say that I was too autocratic? Now I asked you to step forward, why is no one here?"

"Are Qin Xueyuan and Prime Minister Changsun the only ones who feel this way?"

"Or is it that you all think this way, but dare not step forward because of my power?"

Chen Nan smiled wickedly: "I assure you once again that there will be absolutely no bloodshed at today's court meeting."

Upon hearing this, Changsun Du, who already had some desire, murmured something.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qin Qingmin frantically giving him meaningful glances from the side.

He was also constantly rubbing his right thumb and forefinger.

Changsun Du knew that this was a secret code between the two of them.

As for the others, they realized that Chen Nan had only guaranteed that there would be no bloodshed in the court today.

What about outside the imperial court? What about tomorrow? What about the future?

No one dared to stand up and be the first to say no.
