Even emperors have it tough, so don't be too picky about the entries.

Chapter 3 has been released?

Chen Shao looked up blankly, only to see the two old bastards smiling at him.

no...

I...I am now the emperor?

Chen Shao was a bit overwhelmed, and his mind immediately began to race. Soon, he understood.

Oh, so the group couldn't reach a decision, so they pushed themselves out to become a puppet emperor?

First, it can help deal with the current crisis, and perhaps in a critical moment, it can even be used to exchange for Chen Yuan.

Secondly, an emperor who has no power, influence, or maternal support is easier to control.

"You disagree?"

At this moment, the curtain was gently pulled open.

The Empress slowly walked out.

She looked to be in her early thirties.

Dressed in a phoenix robe, she exuded elegance and nobility.

Beneath the phoenix robe, two enormous creatures were wrapped in the finest brocade lining.

Slender waist.

It suddenly widens downwards.

Beneath the hem of her skirt, it resembled a millstone.

She was simply an unparalleled beauty who combined elegance and mature, voluptuous charm.

Chen Shao watched for a while, then felt it was impolite and looked away.

Do we have a choice about whether or not we should act in a certain way?

He quickly put on an overwhelmed expression.

He bowed deeply to the Empress:

"I will obey the Empress's orders and will do my utmost to live up to the Empress's and all the lords' high expectations."

The Empress and the two ministers nodded in satisfaction.

"Then it's settled."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on assuming the position of Emperor! You have been granted an extra chance to draw a prize. Do you wish to draw a prize?]

"Pull, pull, pull!"

Chen Shao prayed in his heart, "Let's have a 'Meteor Falling into the Camp' performance, and I'll make you all kneel down and sing 'Conquer'."

As soon as I finished reciting it, the image reappeared in my mind.

Amidst the glittering starlight...

A dashing man in a dragon robe stood in mid-air, with a foreign race kneeling beneath him.

The shouts of the Heavenly Khan resounded through the heavens.

Holy crap... is it about to withdraw my funds?

Erfeng!

This system is truly amazing; it works wonders, you'll fall for it instantly.

But he was still too young.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Emperor Card and obtained the entry: Brother Killing!]

"???"

System, damn it!

Is it from Tencent?

Are you kidding me? That's Li Shimin!

There is no doubt how brilliant and powerful his entry is.

Heavenly Khan, Heavenly Strategy Army, Heavenly Strategy General, Hexagonal Warrior, Version Answer...

At the very least, you could try a direct confrontation at Xuanwu Gate, right?

What the hell is this fratricide and killing of brothers?!

[Brother Killing: When you attack your brothers, you can disregard their fighting ability and exert absolute dominance!]

Why would I turn against my brothers? I don't have any brothers...

Ok?

I think I have dozens of brothers...

......

Life is full of ups and downs, truly a series of rises and falls.

The next day, Chen Shao, sitting on the dragon throne, was still somewhat incredulous.

All of this happened in a fleeting, superficial way.

First, I inexplicably time-traveled, and then I almost lost my life.

Suddenly, he transformed into the Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Although he was just a puppet, he even faced the risk of national subjugation.

But... he is the emperor after all.

With the system in place, are you afraid you won't be able to turn your life around?

Side quests are just about making money!

One hundred taels? That's incredibly disrespectful.

Inside the main hall, the Empress Dowager sat behind him behind a curtain, with two powerful ministers standing on either side, leading the civil and military officials.

The courtiers knelt on the ground as the eunuch began to read the edict of succession.

The so-called edict of succession was naturally drafted by several people through discussion, with Han Cao writing it out overnight.

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. The sixth prince, Shao, is benevolent and wise, and has successfully inherited the throne, establishing the reign title Qian Yuan..."

"etc!"

Just then, an untimely voice rang out throughout the hall.

The entire court was astonished.

Everyone's eyes turned to look outside.

But then the eldest prince, Chen Jing, strode into the main hall.

If we're talking about who felt the most aggrieved after Chen Shao's ascension to the throne, it would undoubtedly be the eldest prince.

He is in his early thirties and is tall and imposing.

He should have been made crown prince long ago, but he ended up with an emperor like Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was extremely protective of the throne, and no one was allowed to even think about taking it.

Don't expect him to designate an heir until he's on his deathbed.

The eldest prince, Chen Jing, and others have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Upon hearing the news of his father's defeat, he waited in the mansion early in the morning, and even prepared to perform the ritual of three invitations and three refusals.

I've read "The Way of the Emperor," "How to Control Your Ministers," and "Palace Secrets" eight times.

As a result, someone else directly hijacked the throne here?

Tolerable or unbearable!

His face was ashen, and his eyes were blazing with fury.

"I disagree!"

Chen Jing stood in the center of the hall, pointing at Chen Shao on the dragon throne.

He said sternly:

"Since ancient times, there has been an order of seniority between elders and juniors."

"Since the Emperor has suffered a calamity, the throne should rightfully be inherited by the eldest son! Chen Shao is the sixth son, and he is neither talented nor virtuous. What merit or virtue does he possess to ascend this throne?"

"Mother, I implore you to reconsider! This is absolutely unacceptable!"

The hall instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The Empress Dowager, behind the curtain, was so angry that her chest heaved violently.

The eldest prince has long coveted the throne!

They've reached the point where they dare to challenge her authority.

Even with the edict of succession already presented, he still dared to openly refute it.

You brat, you've gotten too bold!

The eldest prince was not her son, and the empress had no children. Her current status was entirely due to her beauty and her skill in palace intrigue that allowed her to outshine all other women.

Just as she was about to reprimand him, a minister stepped forward.

"Your Highness, the edict of succession is written in black and white. Aren't you defying the imperial decree?"

Chen Jing, however, remained completely unafraid.

"That is a misconception. The emperor's fate is in the hands of the nation; how can he be judged based on a mere edict of unknown authenticity?"

"Now that the Northern Barbarians are about to march south, and the rebel army is spreading like wildfire, natural disasters and man-made calamities are occurring all over the country. Our Great Yan has reached the point where the nation is on the verge of collapse."

"At this critical moment, it is precisely the time to let those with both virtue and talent, who can command respect, turn the tide!"

"It is absolutely unacceptable to allow an immoral and incompetent person to ascend the throne and destroy the three-hundred-year foundation of my Great Yan Dynasty!"

His words were powerful and reasonable.

Chen Shao felt a little ashamed upon hearing this. If it were the original owner of this body... perhaps it really would be as he said, and the Great Yan Dynasty would be in grave danger.

Another courtier stepped forward: "In the Crown Prince's opinion, who is suitable to inherit the throne?"

Chen Jing turned and bowed to the officials, saying with considerable humility:

"Although I am not talented, I consider myself to be both literate and martial, skilled in strategy, knowledgeable about the people's livelihood and understanding of righteousness. I am willing to volunteer myself to be the one to save the day."

Ah, Chen Shao has finally figured it out.

Those ministers who spoke were merely Chen Jing's straight men.

They're working together in harmony.

He began to scrutinize the ambitious man with great interest.

The next moment, a transparent panel floated above his head.

Name: Chen Jing.

[Military Strength: 110, Domestic Affairs: 55, Intelligence: 60, Ambition: 120.]

He turned out to be mentally challenged... Chen Shao was shocked.

and many more!

Damn, what does 110 in strength mean? Mine is only 60?

He must feel quite pleased with himself for crushing a person with a strength of 60.

Anyone who has played the game should know that this kind of combat power cannot be estimated by numerical values. If Zhao Zilong were to switch, he would only have a hundred or two. Ordinary soldiers would have several dozen. But how many soldiers could he defeat?

This is no longer a simple linear growth problem.

However, it seems that the emperor's intelligence does not match his ambition.

Your Majesty, your opponents are the Empress Dowager and those two old bastards.

Chen Shao planned to sit on the sidelines and watch.

But... he miscalculated in the end.

The eldest prince's intelligence was clearly questionable; after roaring in the court, he actually strode toward the dragon throne.

The target was Chen Shao.

"Sixth Brother, this position isn't for you!"

Chen Jing reached out and grabbed at Chen Shao with lightning speed.

Overly ambitious people often do foolish things.

He's capable of openly attacking the emperor!

You brute! Go and beat up the Empress Dowager!
