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

Chapter 3 If I don’t give it to you, you can’t snatch it away, do you understand?

The sudden changes in the court put an end to the disputed throne.

After all, who dares to compete with a Saint for the throne? Moreover, this Saint is already sitting on the throne.

From ancient times to the present, there has only been precedent of a Saint-level person rebelling to seize the throne. Who would dare to provoke a strong person in the Saint-level if they have nothing better to do?

What is the difference between this and seeking death?
The entire hall was extremely quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

Originally, everyone thought that there were three main characters in this court meeting, namely the Queen Mother, the Prime Minister and the General who Protects the Nation.

The three of them are the leaders of their respective factions, and the people under them control most of the power in the court.

After this court meeting, their power will be even greater.

The sudden appearance of a powerful Second Prince was something that no one had expected.

Now, the new emperor Li Chen is even more invincible. The prime minister and the general who protects the country dare not speak, and even breathes very carefully.

All conspiracies and party struggles are nothing in the face of absolute strength.

After all, if he gets angry, the new emperor Li Chen has the ability to kill everyone present and replace them with a group of obedient ones.

There is no need for the officials here to consider whether Li Chen dares to do so, because if Li Chen really does so, no one can stop him.

"Second brother." Li Chen said to the trembling Li Xian, the prince.

"Your Majesty, I'm here." Li Xian was also frightened and immediately knelt on the ground.

How dare he say that he is Li Chen’s second brother now, since he has already surrendered to him.

Thinking back to how he had just offended the new emperor and said that he was the one worthy of being the emperor, he was sweating profusely.

Because he knew that if Li Chen attacked him now, no one could save him, and he would be in the wrong.

He failed to sit on the throne and now his life may be in danger.

"What I give you is yours. If I don't give it to you, you can't take it away. Do you understand?"

"I understand, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Seeing that all the civil and military officials in the court were quiet, Li Chen showed a satisfied look.

Originally, Li Chen felt that he might not be qualified to be the emperor, so he didn't want to talk much.

But after the second prince said this, Li Chen thought, if I don't want to be the emperor, who will? Is there anyone better than me?
"Let's end today's court meeting here. The first one on the left and the first one on the right, please come to my imperial study in the afternoon."

This time when Li Chen got up and left, no one dared to say a word.

All the officials respectfully saw him off, and even the empress dowager had to wait until Li Chen left before she dared to leave.

Not to mention the second prince Li Xian, who was still kneeling in the hall.

In the end, it was the Minister of Rites who helped the Second Prince up and gave him a way out, and only then did he feel comfortable enough to leave.

"Second Prince, you are here at a wrong time today. How about we go back and discuss it?"

After leaving the palace, the Minister of Rites could see that his master was upset and was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he began to appease him.

Li Xian had been planning for so many years and finally waited for the crown prince to die suddenly. How could he be willing to give up like this?

Just now in the court, he was indeed scared and knelt down to Li Chen in order to save his life.

Now that he has left the palace, this guy has become bolder again.

"You're right. I can't stay in the imperial capital any longer. I have to go and invite my master over. Only a Saint can deal with a Saint!"

The reason why Li Xian had such strength was that he became a disciple of a powerful lord of the time.

He had just received a secret letter from the Minister of Rites, so he hurried over here without bringing anything with him, which led to his severe setback at the hands of Li Chen.

Now I really have to plan slowly, the throne will be mine sooner or later!

On the way out of the imperial capital, Li Xian couldn't understand why his sixth brother's cultivation was so high.

Originally, he was not stable as emperor, but after what I said, he became stable!
Oh no, if he plays like this, I'll become a fucking prostitute!

On the other side, the border of the Tiance Dynasty.

The army was like a rolling black ocean, mighty and majestic. The sun shone on the armor, reflecting a dazzling light, and every shield and spear seemed to carry the bravery and glory of countless soldiers.

This army is undoubtedly the victorious army, and is marching towards the distant imperial capital in an unstoppable manner.

All the passes they passed were open to traffic and gave way.

As the young commander of the Tiance Dynasty, the Third Prince wore a military uniform inlaid with gold trim, which not only demonstrated his noble status, but also revealed an inviolable majesty.

His face was resolute, his eyes were deep and sharp, and his hair was neatly tied up by a military cap, revealing his full forehead, which added a bit of heroic spirit.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which showed the calmness of having the throne in his hands.

The third prince was thinking: Even if the second prince runs away first, so what? When my army arrives at the gate of the imperial capital, won’t the throne be mine?
Who dares to withstand the power of the army?

This is the truth that the Third Prince summed up after so many years of experience on the border.

Therefore, he took control of this elite force early on, just waiting for the opportunity to take the lead.

The old emperor is dead, and no one can control him anymore.

Even if you have made progress in your cultivation, can you really reach the level of a saint?

The third prince was riding on his carriage, thinking about how to make the historians record that he was the heir apparent after he ascended the throne.

A messenger appeared ahead, galloping at full speed.

The third prince's subordinates instinctively wanted to stop the messenger and protect his safety.

However, he waved his hand and told his subordinates to stay calm. This was also his man, and the information should be reported by his men in the imperial capital.

The messenger stopped his horse in front of the third prince, dismounted, and respectfully handed a letter to the third prince.

The third prince frowned and opened the letter. He had a bad feeling, but the content of the letter surprised him even more.

"Withdraw troops and return to the border!"

The third prince immediately gave the order.

In this army, his word is his will.

While commanding the withdrawal, the adjutant asked curiously, "Your Highness, what happened in the imperial capital?"

The Third Prince held it in for a long time, then a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he said, "The Sixth Prince hid himself very well, and turned out to be a Saint. He even scared away the Second Prince who just returned."

Originally, he didn't plan to say it because he wanted to stabilize the morale of the troops, but this matter would sooner or later reach everyone's ears, so it would be better for him to say it directly.

The adjutant didn't even dare to respond to the Third Prince's words.

What? The new emperor Li Chen is actually a saint?

No wonder the third prince didn’t dare to go to the imperial capital.

If the news only said that the new emperor Li Chen had reached the saint realm, the third prince would definitely not believe it.

One might even speculate that this must be a smokescreen set by those people in the imperial capital in order to prevent him from going back.

How could someone reach the sainthood at such an age? This is not an era of great strife.

But even the second brother's strength scared him away, which was enough to prove that the sixth brother's strength was absolutely terrifying.

The reason why the Third Prince withdrew his troops was because he was only afraid of the Saint realm.

A Saint might not be able to kill the entire army, but he could still kill him in the midst of thousands of troops.

How could the third prince not be afraid?

He also didn't understand, wasn't the second prince the most talented among the current princes?
He also became a disciple of a powerful saint.

How come the usually well-behaved Sixth Brother is stronger than the Second Brother?

Li Chen showed his strength, which frightened the second prince so much that he ran out of the imperial capital overnight, and the third prince withdrew his military action.

At this moment, Li Chen was taking a nap in the bedroom. In the imperial study, two important officials of the court were trembling with fear waiting for his arrival.
