Gu Qingfeng sat on the dragon throne, overlooking the ministers, feeling indescribable joy in his heart.

What is life?

This is what life is all about!

This dragon throne is so damn hard and not comfortable at all.

At this time, the Golden Palace was completely silent, and the ministers didn't know what to say in this situation.

Not to mention the emperor, who was afraid that he would not be able to help but speak out his true feelings as soon as he opened his mouth.

Seeing that no one spoke, Gu Qingfeng said, "Don't just stand there. Today is the morning court. If there are any national affairs, please speak up and discuss them."

Everyone looked at each other and no one dared to speak.

The situation became awkward again.

At this time, an old eunuch beside the emperor stepped forward to smooth things over: "If you have something to say, please report it early. If you don't, please leave the court."

Then all the ministers were very tactful and said, "Your Majesty, we have nothing to report."

According to this process, it is time to adjourn the court.

But how could Gu Qingfeng be willing to do that? He had just sat on the dragon throne for a short while and hadn't had enough fun yet, so now he wanted to leave the court?

Okay, since you guys don’t say anything, I’ll say it.

"etc."

Gu Qingfeng stopped everyone.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, wondering what tricks this King of One Word would come up with.

"Since you have nothing to say, then I will say something. It just so happens that I do have something I want to discuss in the court."

After Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, he turned to the emperor and said, "Brother Emperor, do you think this is okay?"

The emperor forced a smile and said, "Speak freely, my dear brother. Speak freely."

Gu Qingfeng nodded and said, "That... Although I am the King of One Word, I cannot bear to be alone. As the saying goes, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility. Therefore, I decided to take on some duties, which can be regarded as sharing the worries of Brother Emperor."

Everyone thought to themselves that this was bad. This King was not satisfied with his nominal position and wanted to seize power. However, all departments in the court currently had officials in important positions. If he seized power, it would mean that someone would be excluded.

No one wants to be the one being excluded.

The emperor was naturally even more unwilling to listen to Gu Qingfeng's words. He was so arrogant with only an honorary position. If he had real power, wouldn't that be lawless?

But the emperor still said: "I wonder what position you want to take up?"

"Brother, I am not someone who covets power. I simply want to share your worries for the court. As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. I am from the Demon Suppression Division. I believe everyone knows that I am not bragging. When it comes to dealing with demons, there is no one in the world who is better than me. So I plan to condescend and serve as the commander of the Demon Suppression Division."

Demon Suppression Division... Commander!?

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the elegant middle-aged man who was standing at the front row of the ministers, just one position behind Situ Kong.

The elegant middle-aged man's official uniform was different from everyone else's. He wore a black, gold-inlaid, black fish-shaped suit with a hollow pattern.

This person is none other than the head of the Demon Suppression Division of the Great Yan Dynasty, the highest authority in the Demon Suppression Division, Commander Lin Mubai, an eighth-level Dragon Transformation warrior!

At this time, Lin Mubai's face was a little gloomy, as if he was dissatisfied with Gu Qingfeng's words.

"Brother Emperor, what do you think?" Gu Qingfeng asked the emperor.

The emperor was also in a dilemma, because the Demon Suppression Division was a truly powerful department, and its power was almost unmatched.

Because dealing with demons requires powerful warriors, and the Demon Suppression Bureau happens to have countless powerful warriors at its disposal. This is definitely not a force that can be ignored.

Just when the emperor was in a dilemma, Lin Mubai stepped forward and said, "Prince Gu, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Demons are cruel and evil, and the Demon Suppression Department is a place that specializes in dealing with demons. Your Majesty's precious body is really not suitable for you to put yourself in danger. Please think twice."

"Who are you?"

"Your humble servant Lin Mubai is appointed as the commander of the Demon Suppression Division."

"Oh." Gu Qingfeng nodded and said, "It is precisely because the demons are so evil and cruel that I am appointed as the commander. As the saying goes, you can't get a tiger cub without risking it. As the King of One Word, I must set an example for the people of the world."

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Alright Commander Lin, you don't need to persuade me anymore. This is settled. Brother Emperor, what do you think?"

"I..." The emperor wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that Gu Qingfeng would not make pills for him in the future, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

At this time, the Imperial Preceptor Situ Kong suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, Prince Gu is passionate about serving the country and the people, and is truly a pillar of the country. However, Commander Lin has worked diligently for many years and is experienced in dealing with demons, so he is also a master. Your Majesty should add another commander to the Demon Suppression Division, and let Prince Gu and Commander Lin serve together.

One is a disciple of God, and the other is also experienced. Together, they will be able to wipe out all the evil spirits in the Great Yan Dynasty."

The emperor pondered for a moment and immediately felt that this was the best solution. On the one hand, he wouldn't have to offend Gu Qingfeng, and on the other hand, with Lin Mubai as a check and balance, it would be difficult for Gu Qingfeng to seize power from him.

After all, Lin Mubai has been a commander for decades, and everyone from top to bottom is his people, so it is still easy to control him.

"What the Imperial Master said is absolutely right. It is settled then. Come on, I want to draft an edict to add another commander to the Demon Suppression Division."

As the emperor spoke, he began to quickly draft the imperial edict without asking Gu Qingfeng whether he agreed or not. It was obvious that he wanted to settle the matter quickly and not let Gu Qingfeng cause any more trouble.

What about Gu Qingfeng?

He was very satisfied with the emperor's approach. After all, he did not become the commander-in-chief for power.

He was heading for the Demon Suppression Prison!

As for the Demon Suppression Prison at the Demon Suppression Bureau headquarters, one can imagine that it is definitely home to the most diverse, largest, and strongest demons in the world!

It would be a great pity in life if you don't visit this precious place.

It’s a good thing to have two commanders now. All the miscellaneous matters can be handed over to Lin Mubai, and I will be in charge of the Demon Suppression Prison at that time. It’s perfect!

Especially since he has already broken through to the Inner Energy Realm and can practice through demons, where can he find a holy place for practice like the Demon Suppression Prison?

So Gu Qingfeng did not stop the emperor from drafting the imperial edict. For him, the goal had been achieved.

Afterwards, after the imperial edict was read out, a host of complicated procedures were followed before today's morning court was completely concluded.

Gu Qingfeng also patted his butt, left the dragon throne, and left.

When he left, he took a group of palace maids and servants with him and headed straight for his new house in the imperial capital.

A house specially given by the emperor.
