"Many people are shortsighted, content with the status quo, yet they fail to realize that once the cabinet seizes military power, it will spell their doom." Su Zhendong said solemnly.

Taking the ginseng tea Wan Jiaojiao offered, Li Chen took a sip before saying, "Most people have shortsighted views. If everyone could see three or four steps ahead when they take one, this world wouldn't be the world we see today."

"Anything that can be promised, the general may freely pledge. Anything that can be provided with benefits shall be granted immediately. This palace will stand behind any benefits and pledges the general offers. In this critical time, we must resort to extraordinary measures. At the very least, we cannot drive them into the enemy's arms."

Li Chen rubbed the rim of his cup, his voice soft: "But General, you should also be clear about who can be used, who cannot, and who can be used once but not again. In the future, this palace will settle accounts with each one."

Beneath the calm words lay a formidable murderous intent.

Looking at Li Chen, who was already brimming with the domineering aura of a king and the scheming mind of an emperor in his every gesture, Su Zhen'ting bowed respectfully and said, "Your servant obeys."

This topic is temporarily closed. Su Zhen'ting then continued, "Your Highness, today's events are likely to be difficult to handle."

"This is the best ending."

Li Chen's face darkened as he said, "The Empress's appearance was indeed something I hadn't expected. It is also Li Junze's fault for not being able to hold back and appearing too early. Otherwise, there would have been a palace coup today."

The Empress issued an imperial edict to place the Crown Prince under house arrest, which was legally sound.

But Li Chen was not about to surrender.

Then, there was no other choice but a coup.

Once the palace changed, Li Chen could only do one thing.

Ascender the throne immediately.

He should ascend the throne first, otherwise public opinion will immediately make his position as crown prince unstable.

Unless the emperor and empress are killed immediately, and one takes the throne in their place, making a clean break, showing the world ruthlessness with action and bloodshed, one cannot secure an iron throne.

If we were to do that, the Qin Dynasty would immediately fall into chaos.

All the vassal kings were worried about finding an opportunity, and this gave them a huge handle, giving them ample reason to enter the capital to pay their respects to the emperor.

His current strength is absolutely no match for all the vassal kings united. If that happens, the entire world will be divided, and the empire will be lost.

This is the only option left.

Some things, either don't do them at all, once you do, you must see it through to the end, even if you know it's a dead end.

Li Junze's appearance allowed Li Chen to escape this disaster. By sacrificing Li Junze's life, all the contradictions were concentrated on Wen Wang alone.

This is precisely why Li Chen killed Li Junze forcefully today.

If Li Junze doesn't die, then the great Qin empire will surely be divided into several parts. Li Chen himself will also eventually be killed by the vassal kings.

Now, Li Chen only needs to consider Duke Wen, the situation has improved greatly.

It was precisely this aggressive move that caught Zhao Xuanji off guard, giving him the upper hand but ultimately leading to failure.

"Zhao Xuanji would not give up so easily."

Li Chen said expressionlessly: "Perhaps, he will take a gamble. He doesn't have much time left."

Su Zhen's expression darkened, understanding why Li Chen asked about contacting his military contacts as soon as he saw him. The crisis had escalated to the point where Li Chen was considering resorting to force.

What does Your Highness intend to do with it's all the commotion"Zhao Xuanji remained silent.Before the officials from the Ministry of Personnel, Liu Baichuan, were stopped at the gate, they had been trying to get in. Upon hearing this, he imme...
