Chapter 136: The Kings’ Conspiracy.



An hour later, Emperor Li Sheng got up and prepared to return to the Long Life Temple to handle political affairs.

“Chatting with Third Brother really eased the distress inside my heart.” Emperor Li Sheng showed a smile on his face. He looked at Su Qin and said.

Su Qin only shook his head.

The next day.

Primal Chaos Palace.

Emperor Li Sheng was sitting on the Dragon Throne, looking down at the officials.

“I am very grateful to all the Kings for protecting the territory and border…” Emperor Li Sheng said.

In the past three years, although Emperor Li Sheng didn’t mention a ban on the vassals, he did not know how many times he considered it in his heart.

Finally, Emperor Li Sheng realized that it was not advisable to directly cut off the vassals, as it would easily cause turmoil in the Tang Empire and the vassals would rebel.

Since he can’t cut off a vassal directly, then why not indirectly? Such a thought was constantly emerging in the mind of Emperor Li Sheng.

It took three years for Emperor Li Sheng to finally figure out a way to indirectly weaken the power of the Kings.

Listening to Emperor Li Sheng’s words, the officials suddenly looked at each other in blank dismay.

A few years ago, Emperor Li Sheng was seething with rage towards the Kings and even thought of cutting them off…

But now, Emperor Li Sheng suddenly changed his attitude, doing a complete 180° and saying that he was grateful to them?

While the officials were puzzled, Emperor Li Sheng continued to speak.

“All the Kings have worked hard, but they couldn’t have done so without the contribution of every child in their Clan. So, pass down my words, allow the Kings to distribute his Fiefdom to every child.”

When he said this, the officials were quiet.

Some quick-witted officials immediately figured out the purpose of Emperor Li Sheng’s words. This was simply dividing the influence of the Kings. Although it doesn’t really have much of an effect short-term, but over time, after decades and hundreds of years have passed, the problem regarding the Kings will be solved.

“Your Majesty, this is not appropriate…”

An official stood up and moved towards Emperor Li Sheng. He bowed and said: “The successions of the King would go to the First Wife’s Eldest Son. If Your Majesty abolishes this law, it will easily cause dissatisfaction with the Kings…”

This official knew what Emperor Tang wanted, but this was indeed a problem.

“Don’t worry, I’m only allowing it, it’s not an order. If the King is unwilling, then he can refuse.”

Emperor Li Sheng was very calm. It was only today that he had gathered his thoughts completely. After chatting with Su Qin for a while last night, Emperor Li Sheng became more aware of what he was doing.

These words of his was an imposing decree, and the Kings may not execute it, but what about the members of their Clan?

Normally, after the death of the King, the First Wife’s Eldest Son would inherit the throne, and then the Second Eldest would take over if the Eldest Son met an unfortunate end.

In this case, once Emperor Li Sheng allowed the other children of the King to inherit the Fiefdom, it would inevitably cause division from within the Clan.

Other sons, other than the First Wife’s Eldest Son, will spontaneously support what the Tang Emperor Li Sheng had said.

“My will has already been decided.”

“You don’t have to say more.”

When Emperor Li Sheng saw that there were still courtiers who wanted to dissuade him, he waved his hand and left the Primal Chaos Palace.

At the same time.

Outside the Right Spring Square of the East Palace.

Su Qin’s eyes were calm as he looked towards the Primal Chaos Palace.

“After all, I came up with the Order…”

Su Qin shook his head slightly and let out a light sigh.

Last night, Su Qin knew that Emperor Li Sheng had something on his mind, so today he paid a bit of attention to the other party. As expected, Emperor Li Sheng took action today…

It’s just that although the Order could solve the King problem to a great extent, Emperor Li Sheng made a mistake.

“The order is reversed…”

Su Qin thought silently.

If Emperor Li Sheng had suppressed the Kings before implementing the Order, and frightened them before implementing the Order, then he would surely be able to completely solve the King problem.

But now…

The most important prerequisite had not been fulfilled. This implementation of the Order at this time, was tantamount to touching the bottom line of the Kings.

Although Su Qin knew that Emperor Li Sheng was wrong, he didn’t stop him.

Only if Emperor Li Sheng was assassinated would Su Qin might take action. After all, it was up to Emperor Li Sheng to make his own decisions regarding the Empire’s affairs.

“It’s okay to let him experience it rather than telling him.”

Su Qin turned and walked back to the Right Spring Square.

Until now, Emperor Li Sheng’s reign was too smooth. Since he inherited the throne, everything had been laid out for him by the previous Emperor; plus Su Qin also secretly helped him clear the obstacles twice, which shocked other countries and deterred them from making a move.

Although Emperor Li Sheng did a lot of practical things and the Tang Empire was thriving under his governance, many things in this world were not smooth sailing and were destined to be rocked by waves.

Soon.

The Order of Emperor Li Sheng spread to the Kings and caused a sensation amongst many Clan members.

However.

Not long after this sensation started, it was strongly suppressed by the Kings.

At this moment, the 10 Kings were gathered in a small town.

This town does not belong to any King’s domain, but it was close by. Therefore, when the Kings have something to discuss, they would choose this place.

“Hehe.”

“The current Emperor’s courage is not small, he even dared to intervene in the affairs of Kings!”

The Fan Yang King’s eyes were cold. He glanced at the other nine Kings and said with a sneer.

When the Order came to their territory, the Kings realized that something was wrong. After they noticed the eager gazes of their Clan, they affirmed that it was the Tang Emperor’s way of getting rid of them.

“Hmph!”

“He wants to divide our territories and create internal conflict? Not only is this Emperor’s courage not small, but his methods are also vicious…”

The Shufang King also spoke, his tone was full of coldness.

As Kings, their position is hereditary. They naturally don’t want to see their descendants continue to be divided and eventually become playthings in the hands of the Emperor.

“Then what should we do now?”

“Emperor Tang has already begun cutting the foundation of us Kings, are you still gonna remain indifferent?”

The Beiting King spoke, he wanted to know what the other Kings thought.

“Naturally, we can not remain indifferent.”

The Fan Yang King shook his head and said.

“Since he is disobedient, why don’t you kill this Emperor? Then we will just change to another Emperor.”

The Jiannan King suddenly opened his mouth and suggested.

When he said this, the other Kings looked at each other.

It’s just that Shufang King shook his head and said: “Kill him? Even if we kill this Emperor, will the next one be obedient?”

“Furthermore, there should be an Ancestor hidden in the Imperial Palace. With his presence, assassinating the Emperor would be hard, if not impossible.”

The Shufang King said softly.

Whether it was the Southern Ming Empire’s King Wuyang or Yin Jiu Bat, the two Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster died outside the City, or Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue’s mysterious disappearance in the Imperial Palace, it all shows that there was a terrifying existence in the Imperial Palace.
