I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 2 He can't be the emperor, so I will be it!

This sentence caused an uproar in the entire court.

How could the court meeting continue after the emperor left?

The person who spoke was none other than the empress dowager who had pushed Li Chen onto the throne.

All the civil and military officials in the court thought that the empress dowager would use this puppet emperor to slowly cultivate her own faction.

Unexpectedly, she would seize power so blatantly and exercise the power of the emperor. It is really infuriating.

The loyal officials, including the Imperial Censors, were so excited that they almost gritted their teeth and started a new round of debate with great enthusiasm.

In their opinion, this was simply the greatest shame since the founding of the Tiance Dynasty!

When other civil and military officials saw that Li Chen really wanted to leave, they thought that he was cowardly by nature and wanted to avoid court disputes.

Everyone originally looked down on the new emperor, and now they despise him even more. They curse him in their hearts for being a coward and destroying the dignity of the royal family!

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Li Chen. He is just a prince who lives a carefree life. He has never thought about becoming an emperor. He has never done any homework in this regard, so how would he know how to handle state affairs.

At this moment, the Queen Mother sat behind the curtain, her brows slightly furrowed as she faced the sharp words of the civil and military officials in the court.

She looked to be in her thirties, but she was actually older.

She was wearing an elegant and luxurious wide-sleeved phoenix robe, embellished with dark red embroidery, and the dark patterns on the clothes were made of dark ink and fluorescent silk threads.

A light black and gold corset is tied around the waist, and every time the slender waist twists, it makes people intoxicated.

Her long hair was as smooth as black silk, and her lavender eyes were shining with a light as dazzling as stars.

Her pink nose was high and straight, her light pink lips were slightly pursed, and her snow-white skin exuded an air of elegance.

Under the wide-sleeved phoenix robe, there are two huge creatures hidden, making her pure and elegant appearance look extremely seductive.

It is the ultimate style that perfectly combines elegance and beauty.

The Queen Mother was a descendant of a noble family and had her own power in the court.

After a lot of coaxing and deception over the past few days, he finally managed to put the weakest prince on the throne.

According to her plan, as long as Li Chen performs normally today and shows the majesty of the royal family, she will help Li Chen consolidate his throne and then gain huge benefits from it.

Then it is a win-win situation for her and Li Chen.

Who knew that Li Chen wanted to leave without saying a few words. She felt that Li Chen was really hopeless, so she had to say these words to test the ministers' attitudes.

If we don't stabilize the court in the next few days, it will not be easy to deal with the other princes when they return to the imperial capital.

Maybe Li Chen doesn’t care much about the throne, but that doesn’t mean the others don’t care.

They have been planning all their lives, some have cultivated their own confidants, recruited strong men as their servants, some have made great military achievements on the frontier, all for the purpose of competing for the throne.

The crown prince died suddenly in the imperial capital some time ago. The other princes were afraid that the old emperor would suspect that they were the culprit, so they did not dare to return to the capital.

Li Chen was a prince who was just slacking off. The position of crown prince would never be his, so he was naturally the only prince left in the imperial capital.

But who would have thought that the old emperor died just like that, and Li Chen skipped the crown prince and became the emperor directly.

The Queen Mother and all the civil and military officials in the court were also considering that if the princes were allowed to fight with each other, the Tian Ce Dynasty would surely be in chaos.

It would not be bad for anyone if Li Chen took the position, so they just cut the Gordian knot and helped him take the position.

The Queen Mother and several important ministers had even blocked the news, just to make a final decision before the other princes returned.

If Li Chen had had some potential, they would not be so disappointed.

Seeing that the civil and military officials were arguing again, Li Chen felt helpless. I wonder if it will be easy to get off work?
It’s already so late and you won’t let me leave.

He hasn't finished get off work yet, but someone who wants him to finish get off work early has come.

A powerful voice came from outside the hall, shaking the entire hall.

"I don't think my sixth brother can be the emperor. Please don't make things difficult for him. I will be the emperor!"

This sentence made all the civil and military officials look terribly pale, and even the empress dowager had a bad premonition.

Because the one who dared to say so was naturally the second prince of the Tiance Dynasty, Li Xian.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xian stepped into the hall.

He was wearing a luxurious brocade robe with a deep blue dragon pattern as the base, and embroidered with a lifelike dragon totem outlined in gold thread.

The hem of his robe swayed gently with his steady steps, and every step revealed the royal majesty and dignity.

Compared to the leisurely and casual Li Chen, his temperament is more like the majesty of an emperor.

As the second prince, he was naturally the biggest competitor for the position of crown prince. He often used the excuse of practicing abroad to recruit talented people from all over the world.

There are also many followers in the court who follow his lead.

He was the person who most hoped that something would happen to the prince. During the time when the prince died suddenly, many people suspected that he was the one who did it, but there was no evidence.

Of course, apart from Li Chen, other princes have also been suspected.

As the second prince, Li Xian naturally had the right to attend the morning court.

With his appearance, the pressure in the court increased dramatically.

No one expected that he would come back so soon.

The Empress Dowager and all the officials blocked the news, which was like blocking the whole place.

At this moment, the upright Imperial Censor stepped out with a tablet in his hand and looked at the Second Prince with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, this is wrong. The throne has been decided and the new emperor has ascended the throne. This is the will of heaven and the will of the people. As a member of the royal family, Your Highness should know that the overall situation is the most important. How can you disturb our government and disrupt our country because of personal selfishness?"

The words of the Chief Censor were sonorous and powerful, and every word revealed his respect and protection for the imperial power.

Only these loyal officials dared to offend the Second Prince in person. Li Xian was not angry. He had expected this when he came.

He has been planning for the throne for so many years and has been in the court for more than ten years. How could he not be prepared?

Li Xian raised his lips to sneer, staring at the Imperial Censor with a sharp gaze, and retorted: "Since ancient times, the succession of the throne requires both virtue and ability to win the support of the people. Let me ask, which of the ancestors of our dynasty was not proficient in both civil and military affairs, so that they could create this eternal foundation?"

Before the Grand Censor could open his mouth, the Minister of Rites stood up.

"May I ask what qualifications does the Second Prince have to say that he can inherit the throne?"

The Minister of Rites sounded like he was refuting Li Xian, and even seemed to be embarrassing Li Xian, but in fact he was Li Xian's party member.

To put it bluntly, he was just a spy, using such words to make Li Xian speak out about his abilities that were convincing enough to convince the public.

With someone to support him, Li Xian naturally continued talking.

"Everyone, the country seems stable now, but in fact, there are undercurrents. In this peaceful and prosperous era, civil governance is certainly important, but without strong cultivation as a support, how can we ensure that our dynasty will last for thousands of years?"

"I am not bragging, but I believe that I am not inferior to others in the path of cultivation. I have now reached the realm of observing the sky!"

After saying this, Li Xian's cultivation level was revealed!

I saw a strong spiritual power surging out from his palm, turning into a bright light, circling and dancing in the air, like a dragon emerging from the sea, with great momentum.

In the light, there was a faint sound of a dragon's roar, shaking the entire court.

All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.

There are nine realms in this world, namely:

The realm of opening meridians, the realm of condensing essence, the realm of primordial spirit, the realm of cave void, the realm of breaking void, the realm of six harmonies, the realm of observing the sky, the realm of the sky abyss, and the realm of the saint.

Most cultivators will stop at the Dongxu realm throughout their entire lives, while those who can reach the Liuhe realm can establish their own sect and become the overlord of a region.

The Second Prince is so young, yet he has already reached the Heaven Observation Realm?
What a heaven-defying talent this is!
If the Second Prince could break through to the Tianyuan Realm during his lifetime, he would be considered the most talented prince in the past five hundred years!

If the Tiance Dynasty allows such a powerful person to be the emperor, it will surely usher in a new era of prosperity!
When the Imperial Censor heard the Second Prince's impassioned speech, he couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.

He looked at the majestic Second Prince, as if this was his ideal emperor.

As for Li Chen on the throne, he didn't look like an emperor at all.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the court officials, Li Xian felt very proud.

The reason why he didn't mention civil governance is because he majored in cultivation, and his civil governance was really not that good.

The only ones who could say that they had political achievements were the late crown prince and the third prince who was leading troops to fight outside.

So Li Xian simply showed his strength to prove that he was qualified to be emperor. At least compared to Li Chen, he felt that he had an all-round advantage.

From beginning to end, Li Xian never looked at Li Chen directly. He was busy debating with the officials.

In his opinion, as long as he could convince all the officials and put some pressure on the empress dowager, the puppet Li Chen would have to roll down the throne obediently.

Just as Li Xian looked behind the curtain, Li Chen on the dragon chair suddenly asked, "And then?"

The tone was full of sarcasm towards Li Xian. Li Xian got furious at the time. How dare this puppet emperor question me?
Who is he to question me? Is he worthy?

As a cultivator at the Guantian realm, how can I accept such humiliation!
Li Xian immediately decided to teach Li Chen a bloody lesson!
But in the next second, an aura so terrifying that it made people unable to breathe came over and enveloped the entire hall!
Li Chen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was surrounded by colorful light and the avenue of immortal light was blooming!
The sky is full of flowers, and the ground is filled with golden lotuses!
Mysterious patterns flow, divine light is like a rainbow!
Behind him, there was a golden light that enveloped the entire hall.

Nine divine rings descended from the sky and surrounded Li Chen.

Even though he was sitting lazily on the dragon throne, everyone in the court could feel the mighty dragon power emanating from him!

"Saint's divine ring?"

The second prince Li Xian's face changed drastically.

Only the top strong ones who have reached the Saint Realm have divine rings on their bodies.

Having one divine ring is enough to prove that this person is very powerful. But this puppet emperor actually has nine rings?

In just that instant, Li Xian felt like a candle in the wind in front of Li Chen.

He, who was shining just now, now stands there like a defeated dog.

He had planned everything, but he had never expected that this inconspicuous brother had such strength.

What is the concept of the Saint Realm? He dared not even think about it!

All the officials were so frightened by Li Chen's move that they dared not say a word, and their hearts were filled with turmoil!
A royal family of the Saint Realm? Perhaps only the founding emperor of the Tiance Dynasty has such strength!

The Imperial Censor was so excited that he was shaking all over, muttering, "God bless my Tiance! God bless my Tiance!"

Behind the curtain, the usually calm empress dowager had stood up. She stared at Li Chen sitting on the dragon throne, and no one knew what she was thinking.

But judging from the rise and fall of her full breasts, she was just as surprised as the others.

At this moment, Li Chen, sitting on the dragon throne, looked down at the entire court, his eyes fixed on Li Xian.

This doubled the pressure on Li Xian. He felt like he was locked in and couldn't even move a finger.

A feeling of fear arose spontaneously.

You know, the only person who can scare Li Xian is the old emperor.

Now, this new emperor can actually make him feel fear?

No, this is the pressure from the Saint realm!
In fact, it’s not Li Chen’s fault for scaring him. It’s all his own fault.

In Li Chen's opinion, you are just showing off your cultivation level of Guantian Realm!
If you want to say anything else, I'm too lazy to argue with you.

If you insist on talking about cultivation, I'm sorry, you are the younger brother!
I'm not good at literature and governance, but you insist on competing with me in cultivation.

I'm sorry, you have no comparison.
