After saying this, Li Chang'an paused for a moment. Seeing that Emperor Xingchang did not respond, he spoke again in a humble but not arrogant manner: "This matter concerns the future development of my Shengnan Kingdom. I urge you to withdraw your order and not act rashly."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xingchang's face darkened. He felt that Li Chang'an was becoming increasingly outrageous.
If before he only suspected that this person harbored disloyal intentions towards him, now he felt that his suspicions had substantial evidence.
Regardless, he is the ruler of the country, and how to govern it is ultimately his decision. How can anyone else have the right to interfere?
Thinking of this, Emperor Xingchang's expression tightened even more.
Then he raised his eyes and stared directly into Li Chang'an's eyes, his gaze carrying a hint of piercing intent.
Li Chang'an showed no fear whatsoever. She met Emperor Xingchang's gaze directly, displaying an air of composure that emanated from within.
The two remained in this silent standoff for a long time.
This made Emperor Xingchang feel that his anger was growing stronger.
He couldn't help but think to himself that his good daughter was becoming increasingly uncontrollable.
This kind of situation, where someone is led by the nose, is not something that should happen to a dignified monarch.
Just as Emperor Xingchang was about to reprimand Li Chang'an for insubordination, someone interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
This time, three or four military officers came forward together to offer their advice.
"In my opinion, what Your Highness said is reasonable!"
"Your Highness, I also support your idea!"
"Your Majesty, we urge you to reconsider!"
In the blink of an eye, the audience became a chaotic mess.
These military generals seemed to have gained confidence because Li Chang'an had just paved the way for them, and they began to openly challenge Emperor Xingchang.
Seeing this, Emperor Xingchang's face darkened. He was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table in front of him and shouted, "What do you mean by this? Are you trying to rebel?!"
"We dare not, we only request Your Majesty to rescind your decree!"
At this moment, almost all the military officers in the court bowed and said in unison.
Nevertheless, they maintained a humble yet assertive attitude, even giving off an inexplicably aggressive vibe.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Emperor Xingchang was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed. He felt that these people were clearly showing contempt for imperial authority and challenging his bottom line.
However, he was outnumbered and couldn't out-argue the many mouths in the audience, so he couldn't help but blame everything on Li Chang'an.
If it weren't for her just starting out, how would these scoundrels dare to act so brazenly here?
They've become more capable; they've truly become more capable in everything they do!
The more Emperor Xingchang thought about it, the angrier he became. Just as he was about to lash out, Bai Yuanshan stepped forward again.
The old man wore an air of righteous indignation. He twitched his beard, then pointed at the last group of military officers and said in a powerful voice, "This is truly lawless! Do you intend to defy the Emperor's decree? Or do you think our Emperor is merciful and won't chop off your heads?"
Upon hearing this, the military officers all stiffened.
Although they were not afraid of death, they wanted to die on the battlefield. If they were to be dragged to the emperor's execution for such a thing, wouldn't that be a laughing stock for all time?
Emperor Xingchang was extremely satisfied with Bai Yuanshan's timely intervention.
Immediately, the two old foxes exchanged a glance without making a sound. Then, Emperor Xingchang spoke with feigned authority, "I'm giving you one last chance. Whether you continue to oppose me here or go back, you can think it over carefully!"
After saying that, he raised his chin and looked down at the crowd in a very arrogant manner.
Faced with this sudden change, Li Chang'an felt waves of emotions rising and falling.
The situation has changed drastically. What Emperor Xingchang just said was clearly a blatant threat.
Li Chang'an felt that since he was the representative of all the military generals, he had to make his stance clear at this moment.
Even if everyone is forced to compromise in the end, even if she is the only one left, she will definitely fight to the very end.
Thinking of this, Li Chang'an secretly strengthened his resolve and was about to speak again.
But just then, a pair of strong hands suddenly pressed down on her shoulders.
Turning his head, Li Chang'an found that Feng Beichuan was standing next to him.
Li Chang'an raised an eyebrow and looked into Feng Beichuan's eyes, then glanced at the hand Feng Beichuan had placed on his shoulder. The meaning was very clear: he was telling Feng Beichuan not to meddle in other people's business.
Feng Beichuan was naturally aware of Li Chang'an's attitude, and he had already guessed that Li Chang'an would react this way before making this move, but even so, he still did it.
He understood that Li Chang'an was extremely anxious, and he could also understand why this woman would disregard everything for the sake of the country's interests.
Even so, Feng Beichuan couldn't let her face these predicaments alone.
"Your Highness, please don't act rashly."
Feng Beichuan spoke to Li Chang'an in a low voice again, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This woman was far too hasty and impulsive this time!
Before he could finish speaking, Li Chang'an reached out and slapped away Feng Beichuan's hand from his shoulder without any politeness, thus rejecting all the feelings Feng Beichuan wanted to express.
At this moment, Feng Beichuan felt a sense of utter frustration.
This person is far too stubborn and reckless in his actions!
"Father, do you really intend to disregard so many loyal advices and the future of Sheng Nan Kingdom, and insist on doing this?"
Li Chang'an's words were profound and resounding, and to outsiders, they could only be described as courageous and fearless.
However, in Feng Beichuan's view, this person was just making a fool of himself, but he had no time to stop him and could only let the other party do as he pleased.
Feng Beichuan clenched his fists in anger, but he couldn't bear to blame Li Chang'an, so in the end he could only blame it all on the one on the dragon throne.
This old fox is so old and still doesn't stop causing trouble. He's absolutely despicable!
Then Feng Beichuan began to ponder in his heart, it seemed that it was time to seize the time to plan how to make this old fox fall off the dragon throne!
