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

Chapter 51: Power is something that once held in one's hands, how many people are willing to let it go! (Please recommend and vote for me)
At this moment, there is no minister who is not afraid of Li Chen, because this man really means kill.

No one dared to say anything about Feng Huai's death. After all, he brought it upon himself.

Your Majesty has already said that, but he is still referring to the "late emperor". If the one who came to the throne was an incompetent majesty, even if he was angry, he would definitely go through the procedures and let the imperial guards arrest Feng Huai. Even if Feng Huai was arrested, he would at most be locked up, and he would definitely not die.

By then, if many people plead for him and he writes a letter of repentance, Your Majesty will have to release him.

But Feng Huai was facing Li Chen, the emperor at the Saint level. He didn't even have the chance to beg for mercy and exploded on the spot.

Now, the ministers began to re-evaluate the attitude they should have when talking to Li Chen.

They were afraid of Li Chen to begin with, and now they are even more afraid.

Zhao Wenyuan had been prime minister for decades and always looked as calm as a rock. This was the first time he was scared like this.

It came too suddenly.

He never expected that the new emperor had such a bad temper!
It seems that this is the best interpretation of 'If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die'.

His Majesty really doesn't bear grudges. He exploded on the spot!

Soon, the commander of the imperial guards, Li Sixing, brought his men into the court and asked Li Chen what had happened.

Li Chen said calmly: "It's nothing, I just killed a disobedient person, you can just ask someone to mop the floor."

"I obey your order." Li Sixing swallowed his saliva.

Just from the power just now, Li Sixing was frightened even from a distance.

He is a powerful person who has reached the great perfection of Tianyuan Realm. He is a rare cultivation genius in the entire royal family in a hundred years. He was fed with elixirs since he was a child, which is why he has achieved his current level of cultivation.

But even such a person felt that he could not withstand even a single move from Li Chen.

He was already loyal, and now he is even more loyal.

Before leaving, Li Sixing glanced around and asked, "Where is the body?"

A general nearby replied: "It has been blown into powder."

Li Sixing: “.”

After Li Sixing and the imperial guards left, eunuchs and palace maids quickly came in and cleaned up the scene quickly.

At this time, Li Chen began to mutter to himself.

"I've already reduced the power to a very low level, why are you still sitting on the ground? Next time I attack you, try to lower it even more. Hurry up and get up."

This sentence brought even more terrifying shock to the ministers.

Minister of Justice Feng Huai is a powerful man who has practiced martial arts. Are you going to kill him instantly or reduce the power?
If you really start to attack us, or if you don't control our strength well, will we all die?
If Li Chen knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say: Nonsense, if you don’t all die, then all my training would be in vain.

If you can withstand one of my attacks, you’re awesome.

Li Chen's words did seem to be pretentious, but he had the capital to do so.

The civil servants stood up one by one and the court meeting continued.

Those who had not offended Li Chen were naturally just frightened and recovered quickly.

Anyway, they didn't offend the emperor, and the emperor wouldn't kill them.

But those ministers who signed the "letter of surrender" with Feng Huai last night were all trembling.

If His Majesty finds out, will I end up like this?

Otherwise, after the morning court session, go to the imperial study and beg for mercy.

They were originally "forced" by Feng Huai. They are loyal to the royal family, and God can bear witness to that!
As for the Second Prince, I'm really unfamiliar with him! If you want to die, don't drag us along!
These court officials were already thinking about how they would cry and began to prepare their acting skills.

The one who felt most lucky among them was the Minister of Rites Yan Hai.

He is the second prince's man, but he always listens to Li Chen.

He always followed Li Chen's words, and he always thought twice about the Second Prince's words, and he would only do it if he didn't offend Li Chen. At that time, he guessed that offending Li Chen would result in death on the spot, and now someone has fallen into his trap.

This time, Yan Hai was even more determined not to disobey Li Chen.

To put it bluntly, as long as Li Chen is alive, he will be his subject!
This farce ended with Feng Huai's death. Li Chen glanced at Zhao Wenyuan and said, "The position of Minister of Justice is related to the safety of the country and cannot be left vacant for long. Lord Zhao, do you have any suitable candidate to recommend?"

Zhao Wenyuan is Li Chen's professional scapegoat, so if you don't understand something, just ask him.

Zhao Wenyuan knew he couldn't avoid it, so he thought for a moment, stepped forward, saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have someone in mind who can take on this important task."

Li Chen nodded slightly, motioning him to continue.

Zhao Wenyuan took a deep breath and continued, "This man is the head of the Ministry of Justice, named Pang Jin. Since he joined the Ministry of Justice, Mr. Pang has been diligent and responsible, repeatedly solving major cases, and has made outstanding contributions. He is upright and has a very high prestige. He is quite famous among the officials of the Ministry of Justice. Moreover, he is quite capable. I think that Mr. Pang is qualified for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice in terms of both ability and prestige."

This statement caused a big reaction among the court officials.

Because Pang Jin was the head of the Ministry of Justice, a mid-level official, he was not even qualified to attend the morning court.

Above him were high-ranking officials such as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the Director of the Ministry of Justice.

Pang Jin became the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, which meant he was promoted several levels.

The reason why Zhao Wenyuan recommended Pang Jin was because Pang Jin was not anyone's follower, but just a person with strong ability to get things done.

Feng Huai has been in charge of the Ministry of Justice for many years. The Assistant Minister, Deputy Minister and Doctor of the Ministry of Justice are all his confidants, so it would be difficult to find the right person to choose.

If Your Majesty wants someone with strong ability to get things done, Pang Jin is undoubtedly the best choice.

Zhao Wenyuan's advancement was unexpected to the court officials, but also reasonable.

After all, Pang Jin had indeed been in the Ministry of Justice for a long time, and everyone in the Ministry knew his abilities and strengths.

"Okay, I will follow your recommendation and promote Pang Jin to the position of Minister of Justice. What do you think?"

Li Chen's words can be said to be the final conclusion. Who dares to have any objection?

Feng Huai just had some opinions just now, and now he got angry.

Especially the senior officials of the Ministry of Justice, they all hurriedly praised Your Majesty for being wise.

How could they dare to compete for the position of Minister of Justice? It was already very good that Li Chen did not kill them.

It is rare for such things to happen in the court, but it is not difficult to understand, and the court meeting is still going on.

The news that Feng Huai was executed by Li Chen quickly spread.

In the Queen Mother's bedroom, the frightened Queen Mother received information from her trusted palace maid.

"What? Is Feng Huai so bold that he dares to contradict His Majesty directly?"

Only now did she understand that the noise just now was made by Li Chen.

The Saint Realm was indeed powerful, and it made her eyes filled with hunger.

"That's right. Your Majesty gave Lord Feng a chance, but Lord Feng still refused to change his ways."

The trusted palace maid briefly recounted the incident, like a cold-blooded broadcaster.

"Power is something that once you have it in your hands, how many people are willing to let it go?"

The Queen Mother knew very well what these ministers were thinking, but they did not consider who they were facing.

Although Li Chen is usually easy to talk to, he is unreasonable when he starts to fight.

Dealing with a saint is much more dangerous than dealing with an emperor.

What’s more, Li Chen has both!
