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

Chapter 239 Don't worry, I'll protect you with your cousin! (Please subscribe and vote)

The imperial capital is the most prosperous city in the Tiance Dynasty and the center of economy and culture.

In this place, it can be said that any stone thrown out can hit a powerful person.

There are many princes, princes' sons, and second-generation officials.

Among these children of the rich and powerful, the one who has undergone the biggest transformation is Xu Zifeng.

Early this morning, Xu Zifeng came to the yard where Ma Hei lived. Ma Hei thought that Xu Zifeng was going out to cause trouble, so he changed his clothes on purpose and didn't even dare to wear his formal clothes.

After all, he is an officer. It would be so embarrassing to go out and cause trouble in formal attire.

After two Northern Expeditions, Ma Hei has already established his own circle, and the Holy Lord wrote back to him, telling him that if he can get ahead on his own, he doesn't need to rely on the King of Zhennan.

Considering his good relationship with Xu Zifeng, he tried his best to help Xu Zifeng.

Besides, Xu Zifeng has a special status and can be sent to fight in every war, so he can share military merits with him.

But Xu Zifeng said, "Put on your formal clothes. We are going to meet some ministers from the Ministry of Rites and prepare some gifts."

Ma Hei asked in confusion: "Your Highness, why is this happening?"

Normally, in order to hide his incompetence, Xu Zifeng would cause trouble in the imperial capital every day. He would still do so even after gaining military merit, and would even make a bigger fuss. Anyway, someone would help him settle it.

It is said that this person is the Queen Mother, but in fact it is Li Chen, which Ma Hei is not clear about.

But among the people of Mahe, it was the first time they heard that Xu Zifeng was going to bring gifts to meet the ministers.

You know, many ministers' sons have been severely beaten by Xu Zifeng. It's good enough that they don't come to trouble Xu Zifeng. How dare Xu Zifeng go to them?

Thinking of this, Ma Hei glanced at Xu Zifeng. His temperament had changed now. He looked dignified and no longer looked domineering.

Ma Hei once suspected that the Crown Prince had been possessed by another spirit.
Seeing Ma Hei's eyes, Xu Zifeng began to explain that his father, the King of Zhennan, had sent him a message asking him to pretend to be a loyal minister while he had military merits, and then instigate Li Chen to kill the third prince Li Yu.

It would be best to find a way to transfer it to the Second Army and take control of its authority, so that it wouldn't be a big problem for the Prince of Zhennan to go north.

Because Li Chen is developing too fast now, they may not be able to succeed with their current strength, so they can only continue to accumulate.

The Ministry of Rites is the propaganda department of the imperial capital, and Prince Zhennan is pretending to be a loyal minister. He must have a good relationship with the Ministry of Rites, let the people in the Ministry of Rites say something good about him, and let the people of the imperial capital spread the word that Prince Zhennan has no intention of rebellion.

This way Li Chen will relax his vigilance a little.

Of course, this is true, but whether Li Chen believes it or not is another matter. At least Li Chen would not touch the father and son for no reason.

After visiting the officials of the Ministry of Rites, you should also visit Liu Hao and other descendants of noble families to establish good relationships, which may be useful in the future.

Xu Zifeng followed the plan of his biological father, Prince Zhennan. After all, he was his biological father.

The Prince of Zhennan might not be nice to other people, but he is really good to Xu Zifeng. After all, he is his biological son.

He definitely can't be like Li Chen, who doesn't care much about Xu Zifeng. After all, he is not his biological son.

After listening to the explanation, Ma Hei finally understood the reason, so he changed into formal clothes and followed Xu Zifeng out.

Among the younger generation in the imperial capital, apart from Xu Zifeng, another person who has risen in status quickly is Wu Qi, the deputy director of the Ministry of War. Once his background was exposed, he was simply the new upstart of the imperial capital.

A magnificent Wu family mansion appeared in a ring of the imperial capital. It was given by Li Chen, which was enough to show Wu Nanzhi's status in the harem.

It is said that the Wu family held a housewarming banquet and many princes and officials from various departments came to celebrate.

Especially the Minister of War, who became close friends with Old Man Wu.

Anxi King Li Ji was definitely here to show his support, but he just came to join in the fun because he had old ties with Wu Qi. He didn't think too much about status or anything like that. After all, he was already a prince, and if he climbed up further, he would become the emperor.

Even if Li Ji had a hundred courages, he would not dare to do this.

The other officials came because they had already judged that as long as Wu Qi did not make any big mistakes, he would have a bright future, so it would be good to make themselves familiar to him as soon as possible.

In Wu Qi's circle, there are a few others who are also doing very well.

Liu Hao's reputation has spread among the nobles. He is no longer a second-generation rich man. Everyone calls him General Liu when they see him.

This guy gained his status entirely by risking his life for military merit.

Liu Hao's father said that he had caught up with a good era and had a Holy Emperor. As long as there was a war to fight, he would definitely have more than just this status in the future.

The ultimate dream of a military general is to become a general of the same level as Guo Poyun.

This is also Liu Hao's dream. What he fears more is that there will be no war to fight.

What Liu Hao didn't know was that his battle had just begun and he would have to fight more in the future.

Among the sons of luck, the busiest one at this stage is Lin Mo from the Ministry of Industry. This guy is really capable. He was discovered by the leaders and participated in the construction of this rail train.

During the construction process, he put forward countless brilliant ideas and completed various geological exploration work, which was recognized by the leaders of the Ministry of Industry.

If the rail train is successfully opened to traffic, Lin Mo will definitely be promoted. He is considered to be one of the slowest to get promoted among the sons of luck.

The road will be open to traffic in two days, and Lin Mo is actively carrying out maintenance work.

However, he now has a hidden identity, that is, he is the only remnant of the previous dynasty who is still in the court.

The remnants of the previous dynasty will certainly spare no effort to push him up.

Having obtained that opportunity, he certainly couldn't get rid of it easily, but Lin Mo had his own plans.

Now he is in a situation, and if he wants to control his destiny, he has to reach the highest realm and transcend the mundane world.

Almost all the sons of destiny set the Saint Realm as their goal. Before Li Chen opened the upper limit, the Saint Realm must have been the top of the continent.

At this time, Li Chen just returned to the imperial capital.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission "Mystery in the Demon Cave", and you will be rewarded with 10 Heavenly Grade Po Yuan Dan and the martial art "Thunder Glory Dragon Roar Break". ]

[Limited time mission: Sword Tomb inheritance. ]

[Task requirements: The host has cultivated to the Yuanshen realm and can go to the designated sword tomb to obtain a powerful sword inheritance, limited to 240 days.]

Thunderous Dragon Roar: Purple lightning accumulates in the throat, emitting a deafening dragon roar. The sound waves materialize into nine lightning dragons that spiral through the battlefield, causing paralysis and meridian burns to enemies in a straight line.

If practiced to the extreme, it can penetrate the protective meridians of the body.

The technique was indeed good. After Li Chen took a look at it, he decided to give it to Li Sining to study. She could practice it however she wanted. If she didn't understand, Li Chen would give her some pointers.

Just as I was thinking about it, Li Sining ran in.

She lifted the hem of her gauze skirt and skipped into Li Chen's bedroom.

The golden butterfly adorning her hair fluttered in the wind, and the tiny gold foil petals fell on the white jade floor tiles.

"Brother, I heard that my cousin is here again. Where is she?"

She first came to Li Chen, and then her big, Caroline eyes looked around, trying to find her cousin.

"Jiang Mo should go to her mother's bedroom to pay her respects first. I'll take you there."

As he said that, Li Chen stuffed the Heaven-grade Po Yuan Dan and "Thunder Glory Dragon Roar Break" to Li Si Ning, stuffing them in casually, as if they were worthless things.

If these two things were placed in the world of cultivation, they would be worth a fortune.

But the siblings didn't really care.

The women of the Jiang family all live in one palace, which is convenient for them to live in and also makes it easier for Li Chen to favor them.

Jiang Mo felt embarrassed when she first arrived, especially when she saw her sister Jiang Rong, because she always liked to call Li Chen brother-in-law, and she felt a little sorry for her sister in this kind of relationship.

Jiang Rong didn't care, she knew her sister would definitely come.

Jiang Rong knew very well how charming Li Chen was.

"Sister, there are many masters in the palace. You will definitely get twice the result with half the effort if you practice here."

When Jiang Rong was traveling around recently, she discovered that many of Li Chen's concubines were extremely powerful practitioners. Chu Ruoyan also kept introducing them to her, and she realized that the strength of Li Chen's harem alone was enough to crush some super powers.

Not to mention that a strong man of Li Chen's level is simply impossible to estimate.

There is no danger in surviving in this place except Li Chen.

In other words, when there is danger, Li Chen is everyone's safe haven, and when there is no danger, Li Chen is the most dangerous.

As soon as he said this, Li Chen walked in.

"Okay, okay, you said I'm dangerous, right?"

After hearing what Li Chen said, Jiang Rong began to tremble all over and subconsciously prepared to run. However, there was no way she could run away. Li Chen grabbed her and dragged her directly into the room.

Not long after, Jiang Rong's voice begging for mercy was heard, making everyone in the room blush.

Jiang Rong's mother Xie Minjun is relatively okay, after all, she is Li Chen's woman.

The one who felt the most uncomfortable was Concubine Yi. She just came to visit and didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

Concubine Yi's sister Jiang Ningyue said she wanted to help her niece, so she took her daughter-in-law Dong Zhiqing and left, walking towards the room.

The one who is most accustomed to it is Li Sining. She has been here for a long time and has seen everything.

This time when Li Chen went out, he also found her a member of the sword formation. She couldn't wait to pull Jiang Mo away.

But Jiang Mo was very unfamiliar with the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him. Li Sining then remembered that she had not introduced herself yet.

After Li Sining's introduction, Jiang Mo realized that the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him was the daughter of his aunt, Concubine Yi, and the princess of the Tiance Dynasty.

At first Jiang Mo was a little reserved, but Li Sining said, I am just a princess, and you are still the imperial concubine.

Under the guidance of her mother Xie Minjun, Jiang Mo gradually became familiar with Li Sining.

After all, she was her cousin, so Li Sining enthusiastically introduced the situation in the harem to Jiang Mo.

According to Li Sining, most women in the harem are easy to talk to, but there are some who should never be provoked, such as the Queen Mother, Mu Qingrou, Fairy Youlan, Li Xueying, Alyssa and the like. These women are very strong and have high status.

As Li Chen had more and more women, so-called factions formed in the harem. Fairy Youlan and Mu Qingrou were women from the Tiance Dynasty faction, the eldest princess Li Xueying led the Northern Royal Court faction, and the Elisa sisters were women from the Sassanid Dynasty faction.

As for the Queen Mother, she formed her own faction.

Li Sining estimated that there would be more factions in the future.

This made Jiang Mo extremely frightened. She felt that the harem was so terrifying that even a wrong step would lead to eternal damnation.

Seeing her cousin was scared, Li Si Ning raised her lips slightly and patted her chest to assure him: "Don't worry, I'll protect you. It won't be a big deal if you just follow me!"

Li Sining, who was doing very well in the harem, also started to pretend.
