"The King of Liao is old and now suffers from illness. Who knows when he might pass away?"

Song Xianze said calmly.

As he finished speaking, seeing Li Ming's still-shaken expression, a ruthless glint flashed in Song Xianze's eyes. Staring at Li Ming, he said softly, "Not only is the King of Liao old, but His Majesty is also getting on in years..."

"Um?"

This completely stunned Li Ming.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at Song Xianze.

Just as he was about to question him, Li Ming realized the situation was not good, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Mr. Song, what do you mean by this?"

His words carried an undeniable air of authority.

"It doesn't mean anything."

Song Xianze, however, was not afraid at all and said calmly, "What Your Highness is worried about right now is that position."

If Your Highness could have taken that position sooner, why would you have to live in constant fear?

Once you sit in that seat, the whole world will belong to Your Highness!

When that time comes, anyone who dares to compete with Your Highness for that position will be committing treason!

"If Your Highness issues a decree, would any of the vassal kings in the land dare disobey you?"

"Besides,"

Song Xianze continued, "With Your Highness ascending to that position and the Prince of Liao's heir enfeoffed in Liaodong, we have made many preparations. Why would we be afraid of Prince Xin?"

An imperial edict was sent to Dongning. Did Li Xin dare to disobey it?

"Your Highness, this is an opportunity!"

As he spoke, Song Xianze stared intently at Li Ming and said, "An opportunity to completely eliminate the threat!"
