I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

Han Xu Yang's expression indeed turned displeased.

But he still smiled and said, "Very well, it just so happens to let these future pillars of the state see how their predecessors handle state affairs. Minister Lin, what do you wish to report?"

Lin Diguang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I wish to impeach someone!"

Han Xu Yang asked, "Who?"

Lin Diguang enunciated each word: "Divine Soldier Guard Grand Commander, Zhu Zhengdao!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Han Qingxue's eyebrows twitched slightly, then she lowered her gaze as if she hadn't heard a thing.

In contrast, Han Xu Yang showed a thoughtful look in his eyes.

At the same time, everyone below suddenly had a look of realization.

As expected, it has come.

It seems this Minister Lin is truly bold; Your Majesty has just shown favor towards Han Qingxue, and yet he dares to impeach Zhu Zhengdao.

Everyone knows that Zhu Zhengdao was Han Qingxue's Martial Tao enlightenment mentor in her childhood and is considered the most steadfast supporter of Han Qingxue's imperial power.

Especially since Zhu Zhengdao is the Grand Commander of the Divine Soldier Guard, in terms of duty, there is quite an overlap with the Inspectorate.

The Inspectorate is responsible for the patrolling security of the entire Imperial Capital, handling conflicts between civilians, which essentially falls under its jurisdiction.

Whereas the duty of the Divine Soldier Guard is to handle disputes among Martial Artists.

Theoretically, the Divine Soldier Guard should be under the Inspectorate, but due to the transcendental status of Martial Artists, the Divine Soldier Guard has far exceeded the capabilities of the Military Police of the Inspectorate, thus forming its own independent faction...

Even though their numbers cannot compare with the Inspectorate, those eligible to join the Divine Soldier Guard are all elite among the elite.

Even the Cosmic Pirate King Roger Sparrow had no choice but to flee when confronted by merely a dozen Divine Soldier Guards and was nearly captured and killed.

This could be considered Han Xu Yang's way of maintaining balance.

For years, there have been disputes between the Inspectorate and the Divine Soldier Guard, but though the Divine Soldier Guard is small in number, their strength is formidable, rarely suffering losses, making Lin Diguang harbor great resentment.

For this reason, Lin Diguang and Han Qingxue could be considered natural adversaries because even a fool could see, just like Lin Diguang has always had eyes on the Divine Soldier Guard, the Divine Soldier Guard has its eyes on the Inspectorate.

Once Han Qingxue gains power, Lin Diguang would be the first to step down, paving the way for Zhu Zhengdao.

Because although the Divine Soldier Guard is stronger, in terms of authority, it cannot compare with the Inspectorate.

As long as anyone dared to provoke the Inspectorate, being inspected for safety eight times a day, would you not fear?

And Lin Diguang's move... precisely targeted Han Qingxue's critical point.

It's just unknown how effective it will be.

Everyone understood in their hearts that since Lin Diguang dared to make a move, it was not without reason.

Han Xu Yang asked, "Minister Lin, elaborate, why do you wish to impeach Minister Zhu?"

"Your Majesty, I impeach Zhu Zhengdao for the crime of inadequate oversight and maintenance."

Lin Diguang said with a serious tone, "A few months before, Your Majesty's son was attacked by villains on Longchang Street in Han Yun City, nearly resulting in death. The enemy not only severely injured his highness but also acted with extreme malice, destroying all of Longchang Street, causing numerous injuries. To dare to attack the bloodline of the Great Xia Imperial clan within the Imperial Capital, such heinous acts warrant the execution of nine clans, yet now..."

He turned to look at Zhu Zhengdao and said, "Ironically, the enemy has yet to be captured, which is absolutely ridiculous! To attack the Great Xia Imperial clan and escape unscathed, what remains of Great Xia Empire's reputation? What remains of its dignity?"

Lin Diguang respectfully knelt and said, "Your Majesty, please strip Zhu Zhengdao of his official position, and hold him accountable for his failure to command the Divine Soldier Guard effectively!"

Han Xu Yang glanced at one of the ministers present and asked, "Minister Zhu, do you have anything to say?"

A man appearing to be in his forties or fifties, looking quite robust and strong, stepped forward and said, "In these recent days, I have sealed off the Imperial Capital and set up a net all around. The enemy's escape range is shrinking day by day, and soon I shall capture the culprit."

"Hahahaha."

Lin Diguang laughed, "Ridiculous, sealing the Imperial Capital...for the mere sake of two Profound Realm Martial Artists, you would seal the Imperial Capital? How long do you intend to do that?"

He said, clutching his heart with grief, "It's a pity, my Inspectorate is capable yet was restricted by authority and could not apprehend the culprits, stuck watching as this group of incompetents wasted resources. Your Majesty, I humbly request that you revoke the independence of the Divine Soldier Guard and reintegrate them into the Inspectorate."

He said earnestly, "Martial Artists are humans, so why should they be separated from common civilians? Isn't such separation sowing discord between civilians and Martial Artists? Your Majesty, I believe, the Divine Soldier Guard Grand Commander Zhu Zhengdao sits in his position uselessly, and his rank should be stripped. The Divine Soldier Guard should be merged into the Inspectorate, and I guarantee to capture the culprits within five days!"

These words were spoken.

Everyone fell silent.

Lin Diguang's actions undoubtedly struck at Han Qingxue's crucial point.

The failure to catch the culprits is an unavoidable mistake, especially since it involves Han Yun City, although weakened, is still part of the imperial lineage.

Once it involves the imperial clan, though it may seem minor, as it concerns just one person, it is significant as it represents the unassailable dignity of the Imperial clan.

And at the end of the crowd.

The Inspectorate's Assistant Minister Lin Xuanyan deeply admired his father.

This is what it means to kill multiple birds with one stone; no wonder father...no, Master Minister didn't inform Han Yun City of the impending attack, even knowingly letting Zhou Qianmo misunderstand by not defending the truth regarding the attack.

It turns out he intended to let it happen.

No matter whether Han Yun City lived or died, perhaps his death would be more suitable since that would leave the Divine Soldier Guard with irrefutable responsibility, tying Zhu Zhengdao to the crime.

Should the plan succeed, truly merging the Divine Soldier Guard into the Inspectorate.

Then...how would Han Qingxue rise to power without Han Yun City?

Even if Han Qingxue ascended as Empress, she would be heavily reliant on Lin Diguang.

At that point, Lin Diguang would undoubtedly be a strong supporter of Han Qingxue.

As the Minister often said, he aims to become a founding minister through pursuing power, and if he can achieve it directly, there's little need for the investments into Han Yun City at great efforts, and he could discard it easily!

The struggle for power inherently has no set camps.

"Minister Zhu, what do you say?"

Han Xu Yang looked toward Zhu Zhengdao.

"Father, Uncle Zhu was talking to me about this matter just yesterday."

Han Qingxue spoke up softly, "In fact, ever since the small city was attacked, I have been paying close attention. Just yesterday, Uncle Zhu informed me the culprits are cunning but there must be a mastermind behind them. He's already laid a comprehensive trap."

"The delay in closing the net aims to lure the culprits into action to capture the master planner behind the scenes. I don't understand how it led Minister Lin to misunderstand the Divine Soldier Guard's capability, as if they couldn't apprehend just two Profound Realm offenders."

Lin Diguang sneered, "So you're saying the Divine Soldier Guard is not incapable, but choosing to let them be?"

Zhu Zhengdao took a deep breath and nodded, "Indeed, that is the case."

Lin Diguang questioned, "I see, I thought the Divine Soldier Guard was incompetent, yet it seems you have ultimate confidence, so you're suggesting that what I can accomplish in five days, the Divine Soldier Guard can do in three?"

Zhu Zhengdao said seriously, "Correct, they can be apprehended within three days, but in doing so, we may have to let the mastermind slip away."

"Hahahaha, if you can truly capture the mastermind, would you still fear losing track of the people behind it? Grand Commander Zhu, if you fail, what will you do?"

Zhu Zhengdao said word by word, "I will resign!"

"Very well, it's settled!"

Zhu Zhengdao replied, "What if I catch them?"

Lin Diguang sneered, "If caught, then it means you've only done your job. What, do you expect a reward for accomplishing what you're already supposed to do?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhengdao's eyes flickered with a flash.
