Chapter 7 The Hesitant Fifth Prince, the Court Meeting Begins, All Officials Are Shocked



Dugu Feng, lying on the ground, was shocked at first, and then became angry and humiliated.

"You old thief, you have been deceiving me from the beginning to the end!"

Li Linfu spat at Dugu Feng and said angrily, "You treat the people of the country like pigs and dogs, keeping them in a pen. Let alone deceiving you, even if I cut you into pieces, it would not ease the hatred in my heart!"

"Oh!" Li Yun sighed, then waved his hand to remove the pressure from Li Linfu and looked at the second prince next to him.

"Second brother, how do you feel?"

Li Gande had a complicated expression, and then bowed deeply to Li Linfu.

"Prime Minister Li, I just realized today that you have so much on your shoulders. Please forgive me for any way I have offended you before!"

Li Linfu slightly turned sideways to avoid the salute from the Second Prince.

"Your Highness, you are embarrassing me. Originally, in my plan, if you princes really wanted to fight for this position, I would have no choice but to kill you. No matter how noble your fates are, in my eyes, they are still not as high as Da Gan and the common people of Da Gan."

Li Gande curled his lips.

That's what he said, but why does it sound so unpleasant coming from this old guy?

While the emperor and his ministers were talking inside the palace, people outside the palace continued to pay attention to what was happening in the palace.

The fifth prince looked towards the direction of the imperial palace with a gloomy expression.

"The second one, a Dharma Realm master, went in, and then two more Dharma Realm masters came in, but there was no ripple. This doesn't make sense!"

"Your Highness, why don't you come in and take a look? I can ensure your safety!" A figure suddenly appeared beside him. It was Xueyue from Chunfeng Tower.

The fifth prince said nothing, just stared ahead.

Even though his cultivation had not recovered, in this remote land of a hundred countries, no one could defeat him unless he entered the Void Realm. And except for the Yin-Yang Sect, the Void Realm could not exist in the land of a hundred countries.

However, the imperial palace under the darkness was like a man-eating tiger, opening its mouth wide and waiting for the next lucky person.

He actually retreated a little. The once famous Demon Lord in the Eastern Wilderness, an existence that transcended the Void Realm, actually hesitated in front of a small mortal imperial palace and did not dare to enter.

The eldest prince's palace.

The eldest prince has walked out of the study and his eyes are fixed on the fifth prince's palace.

"The demonic energy is overwhelming, hesitating and unable to move forward, and is of no use!"

Then he looked towards the Imperial Palace, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

"Shrouded in fog, no luck can be found, no secrets can be revealed. Is it my third brother? Or is it another existence?"

.......

The night passed quickly. Li Yun did not wait for the Fifth Prince to take the bait, but he talked a lot with Li Linfu.

This is a talent, we have to keep him.

As for the second prince, he has good qualifications and is a good candidate to lead troops, so he must be kept.

As for the 80,000 elite soldiers outside the city, they left dejectedly after staying for half an hour.

According to the secret agreement between the Second Prince and them, they would only stay for half an hour. If they succeeded, someone would inform them. If they failed, they could leave on their own. No one would hold the ordinary soldiers accountable afterwards.

However, if they were defeated, the two great generals Nangong Zheng and Jia Quan might not be able to save them.

They waited for half an hour, but no one came to deliver the message, so they naturally thought that the second prince had failed and died.

They will also return to the camp to await the final judgment.

......

It's dawn.

"Your Majesty has issued an oral order. No official in the capital may be absent from the morning court today. Those who violate the order will be dismissed from office and their entire clan will be exterminated!"

The chief eunuch Zhao Gao stood on the top of the imperial palace and shouted loudly, and his voice could be heard throughout the capital.

Zhao Gao was a Taoist of the ninth rank, a direct descendant of the previous emperor, the head of the eunuchs, and the one who knew Li Linfu's plan.

For a moment, all officials were shocked.

They didn't know what happened in the palace last night.

The Grand Tutor's faction and officials who had been to the eldest prince's residence were even more at a loss.

The Grand Tutor and the eldest prince both asked them to wait, but this was the meaning of Zhao Gao's words today.

I don't know if everything has been settled.

Should I go to this morning court or not?

In the end, the Golden Throne Hall was packed with people, with no one absent.

What surprised everyone in particular was that the Imperial Censor Ding Yu and several arrested officials actually appeared in the court.

However, Prime Minister Li was not there, and the curtain behind the dragon throne was removed.

These scenes made officials from other factions look happy.

As for Li Xiang's faction, they were as sad as if their parents had died.

This situation is already obvious.

Prime Minister Li and the Queen Mother were defeated, but no one knows which prince will sit on the dragon throne later!

Zhao Gao walked in from the side door of the Golden Palace, stood in front of the dragon throne and shouted.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

"Long live His Majesty!"

All the officials knelt down and shouted loudly, with their heads hitting the ground, not daring to be careless at all.

In this Four Poles Continent, cultivation can increase one’s lifespan, but that also requires reaching the Dao Palace realm. Below the ordinary Dao Palace realm, it would be a blessing if one could live to be a hundred years old.

The lifespan of a Taoist priest is one hundred and fifty, and the lifespan of a Dharmadhatu is no more than five hundred.

Therefore, shouting "Long live the emperor" in this land of hundreds of countries is also a kind of hope, which means breaking the shackles and moving towards the highest.

Therefore, it is conceivable that Li Yun signed in for 500 years of cultivation before he reached the Dharma Realm, which shows how poor his qualifications are.

Under normal circumstances, he would not be able to reach the Dharma Realm.

Except cheating!

Li Yun sat high on the dragon throne, looking down at his ministers.

"Gentlemen, please stand up!" Li Yun waved his hand.

All the ministers stood up and began to look at which prince was sitting on the throne!

Um?

Everyone rubbed their eyes.

What's going on?

Did I see it right? Why is the third prince still sitting on the seat?
