Chapter 470 By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous.

But the next second, as if he had sensed something, Li Chunfeng couldn't help but look at Yan Lingji next to Chu Qinghe, his eyes narrowing slightly.

But after taking a few steps, Li Chunfeng, having regained his senses, turned his gaze back and then walked up to Chu Qinghe, bowing respectfully.

"Young master."

Faced with Li Chunfeng's subordinately courtesy, Chu Qinghe chuckled inwardly, then nodded and said, "Sit!"

After Li Chunfeng sat down, Chu Qinghe tapped the table lightly.

As a cup that was originally upside down flipped over and landed in front of Li Chunfeng, the medicinal wine made with blood bodhi seeds in a nearby wine pot was immediately drawn out and fell into Li Chunfeng's cup.

After taking a few sips, Li Chunfeng felt the medicinal effects slowly spreading through his body. He let out a soft "hmm" and glanced at the wine in his cup with slight surprise.

Although the medicinal effects contained in this wine were negligible for Li Chunfeng, it did not prevent him from understanding the value of the wine he was drinking.

After finishing his drink, Li Chunfeng said, "Thank you, young master."

Chu Qinghe gave a soft "hmm" in response, and then his spiritual energy once again drew the wine from the wine pot into Li Chunfeng's wine cup.

"The new emperor ascended the throne, changed the country's name to Xiao Zhao, and the whole country rejoiced, granting a general amnesty to the heavens."

"The candidate has not yet been decided, and even the name of the country is still undecided, which is of great importance."

The addition of this magnificent dragon robe embroidered with four golden dragons further accentuated Dongfang Shibai's innate domineering aura, and also gave him an air of nobility.

"Factional strife within the imperial court is pointless. It seems the Imperial Court isn't a monolithic entity after all!"

........

At that time, it was certainly possible to gradually dismantle the threat posed by the Xia Dynasty, which would be the worst possible outcome.

Almost as soon as Yaoyue finished speaking, the sound of slow, rapid hoofbeats suddenly rang out from inside.

"So afterwards you went to Qu Feiyan to mention the Dragon Vein, and at the same time you wanted to stop Qu Feiyan from going to Wudang Sect, but Qu Feiyan agreed on the grounds that she had not received any orders from the Imperial Court."

"But now, it's certain that Qu Feiyan is also one of the Eighth Prince's people. I'm afraid the Eighth Prince already knew about the existence and affairs of those four small states."

For Li Chunfeng, his only advantage right now is the people around him, such as Dongfang Shibai and Yaoyue.

Yaoyue looked at Li Chunfeng and said, "You mean this Donghuang... Qu Feiyan is someone affiliated with the Eighth Prince of the Xia Dynasty?"

"And those outside the Imperial Court are also human; few of them want to climb to a lower position."

Hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Zhou Wanfeng couldn't possibly understand what Li Chunfeng meant.

In response, Zhou Wanfeng pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and nodded, saying, "This junior understands."

Yaoyue began, “The first of the eight things is that the emperor himself or a specially appointed official should perform sacrifices to Heaven, Earth, and the ancestral temples.”

"These two documents are the edicts of submission from the Great Qin Kingdom and the Great Yuan Kingdom, respectively. Please take a look, young master."

As he spoke, under the watchful eyes of the others, Li Chunfeng said, "No one is selfish. As long as selfishness is present, conflicts will inevitably arise. Therefore, in any dynasty, both inside and outside the court, people will be divided into opposing camps due to interests or other reasons."

"Is that so?"

"According to the information gathered by your Guigu Sect disciples in Shenzhou Xiaodi, the Crown Prince and the Eighth Prince of the Xia Dynasty have not yet ended their struggle. In early July, the Crown Prince was poisoned by someone arranged by the Eighth Prince, and he is still not in a daze."

Perhaps because he arrived too late, Dongfang Shibai had not yet changed his clothes.

Hearing what Zhou Wanfeng said, the expressions of the people present became less solemn.

"That process is particularly complicated and takes almost an hour."

Once the weaker forces of the Xia Dynasty retreated into the small territory of the four states, it was as if the enemy was in the open while you were in the dark.

"First, he would issue an edict of accession within the country, and at the same time announce a change of reign title, a general amnesty, and other matters to show that he was the new emperor."

The next day.

“Like the time with the Xia Dynasty, since the eighth prince of the Xia Dynasty dared to compete with the crown prince for the throne, he naturally did not have the corresponding confidence.”

But things don't always go as planned.

"In order to become the new emperor, their eighth prince is really decisive enough."

Half an hour ago, while everyone was waiting, Dongfang Shibai had already descended from below into the inner courtyard.

At that moment, Li Chunfeng spoke up: "Since he delivered it personally, you're worried about the authenticity of the edict. Now you just want to know what's going on with the Xia Dynasty?"

After a pause, Zhou Wanfeng continued, "The Imperial Court only disobeys the orders of the Xia Dynasty Emperor. Now that the late Emperor is alive, the Imperial Court will only be led by the Crown Prince."

The sounds of chime bells and other musical instruments faintly echoed in the air below Bianjing City.

Suddenly, Shuimu Yinji asked, "If it's certain that Qu Feiyan is truly working for the Eighth Prince of the Xia Dynasty, does that mean Qu Feiyan also knew about it?"

Li Chunfeng's household was mostly male, so it was convenient for Zhou Wanfeng to stay overnight at Li Chunfeng's place.

At this moment, Dongfang was defeated because he handed the two imperial edicts to Yaoyue before he finished reading them.

Perhaps it was a cause for celebration, but Dongfang's downfall was that upon ascending the throne, he was not wearing the long-winged hat of the young Song emperor, but rather the imperial crown with tassels.

The reason we've been holding back for now is simply because things haven't reached that point yet.

Even if Li Chunfeng took the initiative, he could still quietly eliminate the people of the Xia Dynasty by relying on the poisons he had developed.
