The Emperor’s words left no room for misunderstanding.

Li Chen sighed and said, "To not kill Zhao Xuanji, this son's thoughts cannot be understood."

The great emperor was not angry. He said, "You can kill him, but you have to wait until after you ascend the throne."

"A new emperor, a new prime minister. Zhao Xuanji was left for you to use as a tool of power, but as long as you don't ascend the throne, you can't touch him. Otherwise, in the eyes of all officials, if the prince hasn't ascended the throne yet, he has already killed the chief minister. If he ascends the throne later, will they even have a way to survive"

"Chen'er, as emperor, your thinking must not be limited to a single person or event. Zhao Xuanji is not just Zhao Xuanji, but a group of people. The common people are the common people, the vassal kings are the vassal kings, local officials are local officials, and court officials are court officials."

"Only when you see these people as a collective representing a certain entity, and adjust your strategies and methods of dealing with them according to the situation at hand, using any means necessary to achieve your desired outcome, can you be considered a qualified emperor."

"I ask you, are the Three Treasures useful Is the East Factory useful"

Li Chen replied, "It's very useful."

The Three Treasures are loyal enough, and the Dongchang is comprehensive enough.

Li Chen's journey wouldn't have been so smooth without the three treasures and the Dongchang.

With a smile, the Emperor casually uttered a shocking statement: "The East Factory is useful, but it's not yours. Because Sanbao was given to you by me, and since I gave him to you, you will eventually have to replace him. Therefore, Sanbao must die."

Li Chen's eyes flashed.

Letting the Three Treasures step down was a tacit understanding between Li Chen and the Three Treasures, but he didn't expect the Great Emperor to be so ruthless and directly want the Three Treasures dead.

"Reluctant" asked the Great Emperor.

Li Chen smiled wryly: “Father, my son intends to let Sanbao relinquish his power, and he has agreed to it.”

The Great Emperor's benevolent countenance suddenly darkened.

He didn't speak, but his expressions and glances alone commanded respect from the frail old man.

Although he was still weak, Li Chen felt the true meaning of a king's unfathomable heart and the vastness of heavenly power within him.

Throughout his life, both in his past and present lives, Li Chen had never been intimidated by anyone's aura.

He traveled through time, and by the time he arrived, the Emperor was already dead.

But now, the sober Great Emperor's aura at this moment startled Li Chen's heart.

"So you haven't prepared sufficiently to become Emperor."

The emperor's voice carried more weight, booming in their ears like thunder.

At this moment, no one in the world dares to ignore his words.

Li Chen seemed to understand why Zhao Xuanji feared the great emperor so deeply.

"The Emperor must be ruthless, because your every move relates to the life and death of the entire nation. Your every thought is the embodiment of national will. If you want wind, no one dares to want rain. If you are silent, no one dares to speak."

"The Three Treasures are my people. He has witnessed the entire process of both the old and new emperors. I, along with yours, he knows all our secrets, both seen and unseen. A person like this, unless you have cultivated him yourself, absolutely cannot be kept."

Li Chen couldn't help but ask, "Then what should the humble servant do"

"You don't have to do anything."

The great emperor's tone softened, his eyes clouded yet resolute. He said, "I, will help you clear all obstacles."t's so ugly."
