At this time, Qi Daokun lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.
With a false smile on his face, he said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready. We only need to give the order and we can strike straight at Huanglong!"
Cheng Qitian stopped and glanced at Qi Daokun. At this time, the right prime minister had arrived, so he didn't have to go looking for him specially.
"Master Qi, you've arrived just in time. I was just about to discuss an important matter with you."
Qi Daokun naturally understood Cheng Qitian's thoughts. Victory was in sight, and now the only thing they were discussing was what to do with the throne.
But he knew in his heart that Cheng Qitian was determined to fight for it, so he said calmly: "Your Highness, please speak. I am all ears."
Cheng Qitian walked to the main seat and sat down, staring at Qi Daokun with sharp eyes: "Master Qi, you and I have worked together for many years, and we must know each other's thoughts clearly."
"Now that Li Chengfeng is incompetent and unjust, and the people are boiling with resentment, it is a great opportunity for us to replace him."
"You support me as emperor. After I ascend the throne, you will be the prime minister of this dynasty, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, enjoying endless wealth and glory!"

He paused deliberately, observing Cheng Qitian's reaction.
Cheng Qitian was indeed a little impatient, as if if he said something wrong, he would regard Qi Daokun as an obstacle: "Just what? Just say it!"
Qi Daokun sighed pretentiously, "Your Highness, you are the Prince Gong, personally appointed by the late Emperor. You hold a noble status. If you ascend the throne, people will inevitably accuse you of being disloyal and plotting to usurp the throne."
"Wouldn't that ruin your reputation?"
Cheng Qitian's face darkened. He had already thought of several ways to refute Qi Daokun's words in his mind, but at this point he was unable to utter a word.
He cared a lot about his reputation, and Qi Daokun's words hit his soft spot.
Seeing Cheng Qitian wavering, Qi Daokun struck while the iron was hot: "I do have an idea that will allow Your Highness to gain both fame and fortune while also avoiding the infamy. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to listen to it?"
Cheng Qitian snorted coldly: "Tell me about it."
