I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 152: The remnants of the former dynasty in the imperial capital, the plans of the Western forces! (Please subscribe, please vote)

The Prince of Zhennan was not afraid, but with the fight between him and the central garrison of the Tiance Dynasty, the Third Prince could attack the imperial capital without any pressure.

This is not giving the throne to Li Yu for nothing.

Moreover, the King of Zhennan also understood Li Yu very well. As long as Li Yu ascended the throne and immediately gave some benefits to the Snow Eagle Royal Court, the North could cease fire.

After all, the Snow Eagle Royal Court still wants to fight, and the northern garrison will defend the city to the death. The forces required for active attack and defense are different.

The power of the second prince Li Xian's clan has been disintegrated by Li Chen, and the third prince Li Yu has seized the throne. The next target will definitely be the Prince of Zhennan.

In the eyes of Prince Zhennan, the Third Prince is very good at fighting. With his own army, plus the garrison in the central part of the Tiance Dynasty, Prince Zhennan is at a great disadvantage.

The reason why Prince Zhennan wanted to pay tribute this time was that he heard that Li Yu would not send anyone.

Prince Zhennan guessed according to Li Chen's habits that this guy felt that Li Yu did not give him face, so he would most likely attack the Third Prince Li Yu next, and then he would come to take advantage.

He helped the late emperor conquer the world back then, and felt that he should have a share of it. Even though he does have a share now, he still feels it is not enough.

King Zhennan also heard that Li Chen was at the Saint level, and not an ordinary Saint level, but he still didn't take it seriously.

The Holy Lord of the Holy Land of Witchcraft said that Li Chen could only deal with ordinary saints and was not a concern.

This is also the confidence of Prince Zhennan.

Anyone who has never been beaten by Li Chen would naturally think so.

Normally, before a fight, no famous saint would feel that he is weaker than others.

Because in the world they know, they are invincible.

In the Prince of Zhennan's mansion, Prince Zhennan just passed by, drank a sip of tea and left the mansion. He didn't even eat and hurried back to the military camp.

Princess Zhennan had no choice but to eat the meal herself.

Preparing for tribute and sending people over was not difficult. She had arranged it before and there was a special set of procedures.

Princess Zhennan was bored and thought that she might as well go to the imperial capital herself to visit her former residence and see if the Ji family was doing well and to find out about Xu Zifeng.

In the eyes of Princess Zhennan, there is only one son, Xu Zifeng, and he is her only thought.

I heard that Xu Zifeng has gone to the northern front, but the north is far away from here, and Princess Zhennan can find out very little information.

My sister Ji Lianyu must have a lot of information.

Thinking of this, Princess Zhennan was planning her itinerary to the imperial capital.

Anyway, she felt that even if she disappeared, King Zhennan would not care.

In the imperial capital, the national celebration is getting closer, and there are more and more outsiders visiting the imperial capital.

Lin Yue'e has to patrol every day and work overtime from morning to night.

Although she was the city warden of Shanghe City some time ago, she is now the chief constable of the imperial capital government and she has to do her job well.

Try to make sure the next head constable can take over the job better.

In fact, Lin Yue'e has also considered a lot, and asked the next head of police to do his job seriously and not let down the emperor's grace.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. The next chief constable wouldn't have the emperor's badge, and it wouldn't be good to offend too many people.

The powerful people in the imperial capital just can't afford to offend the emperor, but that doesn't mean they will give in to others.

Just repeat what the old captain said to me when I took office.

As a duty officer, all you have to do is maintain law and order in the imperial capital.

As for Pang Jin's plan, Lin Yue'e doesn't know it yet.

Pang Jin is careful in his work and will not let the news leak out easily.

Even if he trusts Lin Yue'e, it doesn't mean that there are no spies from those people in the government office.

This time, Pang Jin sent people whose backgrounds he knew well.

By then, if we ask the imperial guards led by Li Sixing to cooperate, we can be sure of success.

What Pang Jin found most regrettable was that Xiao Ming, a good worker, left the imperial capital, otherwise he might have discovered something.

Others may not be familiar with Xiao Ming, but Pang Jin, as Xiao Ming's boss, has a certain understanding of his incredible luck.

But then again, the clues provided by Xiao Ming were sufficient, and the traces left in the battle area where Fan Kuai fought were enough to prove who did it.

The only family in the imperial capital that has the ability to take action against Fan Kuai and has connections with the remnants of the previous dynasty is the Shixun Wang family.

The ancestors of the Wang family followed the founding of the Li family and were also a prominent family of the previous dynasty. They had a prominent status in the Tiance Dynasty and were also a behemoth in the imperial capital.

According to Pang Jin's investigation, on the day when the Li family entered the imperial capital, the Wang family once took in the remnants of the previous dynasty.

But that was just information. We definitely don’t know whether it was Pang Jin. After all, it was a long time ago and there is no evidence.

The Wang family’s businesses are spread throughout the imperial capital, and there are many members of the Wang family in the court.

The reason why they targeted the Wang family was because the area where Fan Kuai had fought, in addition to the remnants of the battle from the remnants of the previous dynasty, also had traces that appeared after the "Sacred Art of Confusion" was unfolded.

"The Sacred Art of Confusion" is a forbidden secret technique passed down from the ancestors of the Wang family. It can interfere with the opponent's attack, interfere with the opponent's thoughts, and even make the opponent's meridians function in reverse.

Once this move is activated, a large area around it will be covered.

Then in this area, the disciples of the Wang family are almost invincible.

This undefeated status is only established at the same level or lower level.

High-level monks don’t care about this. One recoil of their breath is enough to make you suffer.

According to Pang Jin's judgment, the only ones who could pose a threat to a strong man of Fan Kuai's level were the two late Tianyuan realm strongmen of the Wang family.

They are Wang Tengfeng, the head of the Wang family in the imperial capital, and Wang Tengyue, the lord of Shanyin City.

According to investigation, the Lord of Shanyin City, Wang Tengyue, has never left Shanghe City, so the person who took action was most likely Wang Tengfeng.

Wang Tengfeng entered the late stage of Tianyuan Realm at a very early age. He showed top talent since he was a child. He was also very famous at that time and was known as the disciple of Wang family who was most likely to break through to the Saint Realm in a thousand years.

Ever since Wang Tengfeng became the head of the family, he has become much more low-key and there is rarely any news about him in the imperial capital.

As to whether there was a breakthrough or not, there is no way to know. He has never made a move in public, and there is not even a record of him making a move.

If he took action, together with some remnants of the previous dynasty, he would indeed be able to deal with Fan Kuai.

Of course, it is impossible to determine that it was the head of the Wang family who did it based on some traces alone. Pang Jin's plan this time was to find conclusive evidence.

The most crucial thing in this layout is Fan Kuai's knife.

The next day, Pang Jin will say in the court that he has found clues and discovered the location where Fan Kuai's knife was lost.

Once the news got out, Pang Jin only needed to see who would come to the lost location to check. He would then send people to follow these guys and gradually uncover the secret of the prince's death.

It seems that Pang Jin's progress has been steadily improving, but the one who has made the fastest progress in the prince's case is Xiao Ming.

He went out this time just to investigate who was in the living coffin, but the Son of Luck was strong and he found out some things inexplicably.

Perhaps when he returns to the imperial capital, Pang Jin will have a better understanding of the case and may also be able to find out what the prince is doing.

Pang Jin has his own work and plans, and Li Sixing naturally has his own as well.

As a strong man of the Li royal family and an openly royal blood relative, the duties of the imperial guards are also his duties.

Recently, traces of many people have been found in the royal forbidden area.

According to the judgment of the strong men in the forbidden area, these people should have come to "scout the area" in advance, and then wait for the opportunity to sneak into the royal forbidden area and do something unknown.

Li Sixing judged that there were only three reasons why these people entered the royal forbidden area.

First, steal Li’s secrets.

There are many unknown things about the Li family hidden in the royal forbidden area, and some files can only be opened by emperors of past dynasties.

Second, he stole Li’s most precious treasure, the imperial army.

This is one of the keys to the Li family's ability to maintain their position in the royal family. As long as there is at least a saint there, they will still be able to fight no matter what trouble they encounter.

The imperial soldiers are the Li family's trump card. After all, no one can guarantee that the Li family will have another strong man like Li Chen.

Moreover, the Emperor's Weapon is very special. It is because the ancestor who became the Emperor's Weapon absorbed an ancient object that he was able to retain his strength and become a being similar to an incorruptible body.

If the imperial army is lost, the Li family will be severely damaged.

Third, kidnap the people imprisoned in the sky prison.

Those who can enter the Heavenly Prison are all special beings, and the one who occupies the top position is one of them.

Even though these people are in the dark prison, they have huge backgrounds and are carrying many secrets.

The previous emperor captured quite a few of them, perhaps their descendants and clansmen want to rescue them and leave.

In Li Sixing's opinion, all three are possible.

But the problem is, once Li Chen leaves the palace and comes to the forbidden area.

Those guys seemed to know and didn't dare to show up.

When Li Chen stayed in the palace, those guys started to show up.

It seems that these guys also know Li Chen's strength and dare not set foot in the forbidden area in front of him.

So Li Sixing was thinking whether he should let Li Chen pretend to be a royal guard, go out with him, and then stay in the forbidden area to wait for these people to arrive.

He told Li Chen about this idea.

After thinking for a moment, Li Chen replied, "Your guess is that some of the eunuchs and palace maids may have been bribed, or there are spies near the palace. As long as I leave, the people in the dark will not dare to make any other moves?"

Li Sixing nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Chen continued, "Is there a possibility that there are also people in the Imperial Guards who have been bribed? Even if I disguise myself as an Imperial Guard and go out, the Imperial Guards guarding the forbidden area will find out and report to them?"

Upon hearing this, Li Sixing knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will investigate this matter when I return!"

He's not stupid, he just didn't expect this.

Many of the imperial guards were members of the royal family, or soldiers who knew the emperor well and came from the front line. These were the majority, and were also proof of the imperial guards' strength.

But it is not ruled out that some people entered through the selection of the Battle Academy and the recommendation of the royal family.

The Imperial Guards’ review is very strict. There must be no problems when they come in, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any problems after they come in.

Even Li Sixing could not guarantee that there were no bribed people in the imperial guards.

After Li Chen said this, he could understand why he could never find anything. Moreover, these people seemed to be very familiar with the places where the royal powerful people appeared in the forbidden area, and would not violate some taboos.

Of course, this is all the ordinary imperial guards know.

Deep in the forbidden area are the powerful royal family members, and the imperial guards only guard the periphery.

There is no benefit for these powerful royals to betray the royal family. They are core members of the royal family. Who would harm them for no reason?

Besides, people of their level cannot be bribed.

That's why there were situations where powerful royal family members discovered outsiders.

"You do need a thorough investigation, but this is not your problem. Get up."

Li Chen is not an unreasonable person, and he also knows the greed of human nature.

Not to mention Li Sixing's imperial guards, even the Ministry of Justice headed by Pang Jin and the eunuchs headed by Eunuch Cui could not guarantee that there were no traitors among them.

Those forces lurking in the imperial capital have been planning for decades, even hundreds of years.

This does not mean that Li Chen will indulge himself.

In his opinion, those who should be investigated should be investigated, those who should be dealt with should be dealt with, and those who should be killed should be killed.

Anyone who dares to offend Li Chen is seeking death.

"I understand. I will check it out right away!"

Li Sixing was about to leave when he said that, but Li Chen stopped him.

"Don't worry, don't alert the enemy yet. I'll go to the forbidden area tonight to take a look."

After hearing what Li Chen said, Li Sixing understood that His Majesty had a way to quietly leave the palace.

But he still said worriedly: "But your majesty, there are many restrictions in the forbidden area. If they are triggered, it will be dangerous."

As the commander of the imperial guards and a powerful member of the royal family, he naturally knew this.

According to Li Chen, if he left the palace quietly, he would definitely come to the forbidden area quietly.

If the emperor encounters trouble in the forbidden area, he will be blamed.

Li Chen smiled and said, "The ban is very dangerous, but that's only for ordinary people."

Hearing this, Li Sixing's eyes widened.

He seemed to feel that His Majesty was pretending to be powerful, but he found no evidence.

In fact, many people think that Li Chen is being Versailles, but he is just telling the truth.

But precisely because other people cannot reach his level, what he says is incomprehensible, giving people the feeling that he is pretending to be cool.

This is Li Chen’s outstanding feature.

On the other side, in a mysterious courtyard in the imperial capital.

Every night, there are always some people who can't sit still.

"What did you say today?" Amir yawned, obviously having just woken up.

"Everything is normal in the palace. The emperor of the Tiance Dynasty has not come out. We will continue today, and we don't have much time." Qasim looked a little solemn.

They were from the Western Sassanid Empire and had stayed in the imperial capital under the pretext of doing business.

There were many forces in the Sassanid Empire, the core of which was naturally the Sassanid family, the rulers of the Sassanid Empire, that is, a royal family like the Li family.

Amir and Qasim belonged to the Nasser family, which was also a big family in the Sassanid Empire and had a certain status in the Sassanid Empire.

Originally, their purpose of coming to the imperial capital was just to infiltrate the high-level officials of the Tiance Dynasty, bribe some people, inquire about the intelligence of the Tiance Dynasty, and pass the information to their own family.

This is a kind of "espionage" operation between countries.

The Tiance Dynasty would also place spies in other countries to inquire about trends at any time and find out whether these countries were hostile to the Tiance Dynasty.

Anyone who can engage in espionage activities must be able to hide their identity and not appear to be suspicious at ordinary times.

Amir and Qasim are such people, and they have many subordinates in the imperial capital.

They are much more professional than Xu Zifeng. Xu Zifeng's Ministry of Justice has investigated everything clearly.

Originally their mission was just to find out the situation, but some time ago, the family sent them a mission.

The general meaning is that the Sassanid Empire should take military action against the Tiance Dynasty.

Once the war starts, the two countries will become hostile countries.

In order to gain greater benefits, the family asked them to find a way to get to the forbidden area of ​​the Li royal family and steal the imperial soldiers.

Anyway, when the war starts, they will definitely become mortal enemies with the Li family, the royal family of the Tiance Dynasty.

It would be better to shake the Li family's foundation before they evacuate.

If the Li family did not have the imperial army, they would lose a great help.

They had considered killing Li Chen, but there was no flaw at all on Li Chen's side.

Besides, if Li's imperial weapons were refined, the strength of the Nasser family would increase dramatically, and its status in the Sassanid Empire would also improve.

No matter how you think about it, this is a very good deal.

Amir and Qasim have been studying how to enter the royal forbidden area in recent days.

There are a lot of drawings in this room.

The drawings not only include a map of the royal forbidden area, but also some mechanisms and formations marked by them.

They wanted to study the branches of the royal forbidden area thoroughly step by step, and then bypass the guards to go in.

However, that was a ban that had protected the Li royal family for so many years. How could it be broken so easily?

Amir and Qasim are not saints, so they can only study slowly.

Amir discovered a "flaw" last night, but he was afraid that it was left there intentionally by a powerful royal family member in order to lure him in, so he did not dare to act rashly.

This is the game between them and the powerful royal family.

Cassim is a genius in formations, and he is studying how to break the restrictions in the forbidden area.

The most important thing is that their family's secret method allows them to come and go without a trace, which allows them to go to the forbidden area many times without being discovered.

Qasim drew a lot of symbols and lines on the blueprint and said to Amir, "Try to follow this line tonight. The one yesterday must have been a trap."

According to his understanding of the royal restrictions, this kind of restriction is a tradition of the Tiance Dynasty, that is, there are small restrictions within the big restrictions, which are linked together.

Then, with strong people and treasures in corresponding positions, we can resist all enemies.

If you accidentally step into it, even a saint will be trapped.

When the Imperial Guards arrive, they can use the Harmonious Veins Formation in turns to force the Saint Realm strongmen to death.

Amir is very powerful, and is in the late Tianyuan realm. He basically does all the exploration work.

After receiving instructions, Amir set off for the royal forbidden area.

Cassim continued to study how to break the mechanism restrictions of the royal forbidden area.

After about 3 hours, a strange noise was heard outside the wall.

This is the signal from his companions. Cassim will lift the ban in the yard, allowing his companions outside to come in.

At this time, there were regular knocking sounds at the door again, which was also a secret signal indicating that he was not being followed.

They are spies, but they are very careful.

There were not only the two of them in the yard, but also dozens of their companions, and there were many secret sentries around.

As long as Amir is being followed, they will take corresponding countermeasures, even if one person is sacrificed, so that everyone will not be caught.

"Come in." Qasim was waiting for the intelligence tonight.

The door was quickly opened and a familiar voice came in. It was Amir.

This time he also followed Cassim's route without any danger, and then brought back the collected intelligence for analysis.

The royal forbidden area cannot be cracked in a day or two.

At this moment, Qasim was carefully analyzing and marking the drawings.

"I think we can pass by this bell. We can hide inside the bell. It's dangerous but there's a certain chance of success."

"That's too dangerous. Look here, these pagodas are very mysterious, but some of them are just for display. I think this is feasible."

"But there are powerful royal guards guarding the pagoda, and the flexibility is too strong."

"You don't understand, there are guards only when there are loopholes."

Just as he and Amir were having a heated discussion, a strange voice interrupted.

"I think we can go behind the fifth pagoda and then go to the vicinity of the seventh pagoda, because according to your analysis, there is a certain area there that is a blind spot, and we can directly enter the forbidden area."

"Oh, yes, that's one way to do it."

Cassim replied out of habit, and as he was thinking about it, he felt something was wrong.

Who is making this voice? It doesn’t look like Amir!
As if he thought of something, he turned around suddenly and saw a handsome man looking at the blueprint next to him.

He looked so focused, as if he didn't treat himself as an outsider.

Qasim didn't know how long the man had been standing there, but the most horrifying thing was that he and Amir hadn't noticed it at all!
