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

Chapter 70 Is it shameful that I have reached the Great Perfection of Sainthood?
After Pang Jin finished speaking, he glanced at Eunuch Cui, and his meaning was very clear.

Li Chen asked Eunuch Cui to take the people around him and leave first.

He could see from Pang Jin's expression that he must have something important to report.

Eunuch Cui understood, closed the door when he went out, and then asked the eunuchs around him to leave.

"Tell me what's the matter." Li Chen put down the memorial and looked at Pang Jin.

"Your Majesty, Minister Feng has been investigating for half a year without any progress. I have just taken office and I have found a very key missing person, and there are clues to investigate. Do you think this is normal?" Pang Jin said seriously.

"It's just the two of us here, so just speak directly. I can understand you." Li Chen rolled his eyes at him.

Don't play dumb with me, kid. These are just two people, you don't have to speak in official language.

And I'm not stupid enough to let you slowly guide me to analyze it.

Pang Jin smiled awkwardly and told the whole story.

He felt that Fan Kuai appeared too suddenly and left behind clues that could be checked.

If it was really done by those who murdered the prince, they should have wiped out all clues.

So he thought that someone must have done this on purpose to induce him to investigate.

In other words, someone was setting up a trap and waiting for him to fall into it.

The people who planned this may not be the ones who killed the prince. They may want to use the pressure Your Majesty put on the Ministry of Justice to force the Ministry of Justice to follow the clues they gave and achieve their goals.

So this game is a game within a game.

So he decided to continue investigating based on the clues to see what the person who planned it meant.

Use this method to lower the vigilance of the planner.

Then he jumped out of this situation and set up a new one.

A few days later, he lied and claimed that he had found a clue, but in fact, the clue was forged by him.

Then the planner would definitely feel strange. He clearly did not miss anything, so why are there new clues appearing? Could it be that the person who killed the prince did it?

Those who killed the prince would also feel something was wrong and wonder who was impersonating them.

In this case, the two forces hiding in the dark began to suspect each other.

Even if the planner and the person who killed the prince knew that this might be a trap, they would still send people to check it out.

Because this clue is unknown to them, they are afraid that this unknown will really expose themselves.

At that time, as long as we deploy secret sentries in advance, find the person who should not be at the scene at that time, and then follow him, we can really spread the net.

This was Pang Jin's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

I have to say, to be able to reach his level and come from a grassroots background, this guy is definitely quite capable.

After Pang Jin's explanation, Li Chen also understood what he meant.

There are many forces hidden in the imperial capital. If they really want to kill someone, like the crown prince and the late emperor, it would be impossible to find any clues.

Whenever we can find clues directly, it is most likely that this force is fanning the flames in order to put the blame on another force.

It is also possible that it was accidentally left behind, or that someone discovered it and didn't have time to clean it up.

These are things that Pang Jin needs to consider, not Li Chen.

People hiding in the dark either don't make any moves, making it impossible for you to find their flaws.

Or they will do something drastic to take your life.

This kind of person is the most difficult to guard against in the imperial capital.

Li Chen didn't even want to complain about Xu Zifeng. He was so stupid that no one was bothered to deal with him. He thought he was hiding well.

He seems to be hiding his clumsiness, but in fact he is really stupid.

But then again, this kind of self-righteous stupidity seems to be a way to survive.

"Just do it your way, and tell me if you need anything."

Li Chen knew that Pang Jin might come here for more than just discussing this matter.

Because he can actually handle such a small matter himself, and he has the authority to handle it. Since he came, there must be something that he can't solve.

Hearing Li Chen's words, Pang Jin knelt down again and asked, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what realm are you in?"

Li Chen said, "The Saint Realm is Great Perfection."

Hearing this, Pang Jin's pupils suddenly shrank and his whole body trembled slightly.

What? Great Perfection?
No matter who it is, they all thought that if Li Chen could reach the Saint realm at this age, he should only be in the early stage of the Saint realm.

The early stage of Sainthood and the great perfection of Sainthood are two different things.

How can this news not be scary?

The great perfection of the saint realm is also known as the realm of reaching heaven in one step!

The strongest fighting force under heaven!
When cultivators below the Saint Realm saw Li Chen in his explosive state, they could at most know that he was at the Saint Realm. How could they possibly know his specific realm?

Even Master Yu, who is at the Saint level, could only feel that Li Chen was stronger than him. How much stronger Li Chen was than him, he would only know after they fought.

"Then I will dare to do it again. Your Majesty, please do it yourself when necessary."

Originally according to Pang Jin's plan, the person who could kill Fan Kuai, who was at the great perfection of Tianyuan Realm, must be very strong, and there might be a hidden saint among them.

Even if the Ministry of Justice finds out, it will not be easy to deal with.

So he wanted Li Chen to activate the imperial weapon.

The so-called imperial soldiers are one of the trump cards of the royal family of the Tiance Dynasty.

It is said that the second emperor of the Tiance Dynasty failed to ascend to heaven, so he refined his body into "Emperor Soldier", also known as Emperor Corpse. If his descendants encountered a crisis, they could activate the Emperor Soldier.

The imperial weapon has the strength of a saint.

The conditions for activating the imperial army are very harsh, and Pang Jin doesn't know what they are exactly.

He thought that if there really was a Saint hidden in the imperial capital, and if he were to find out, he would trouble Li Chen to activate the imperial soldiers to help.

Then he thought that Li Chen himself was at the Saint level, so he asked this question.

The result of the question scared him a lot.

That is the great perfection of the Saint realm!
Why bother activating the imperial soldiers? It might even alert the enemy.

Why not just ask the emperor to take action?

Pang Jin is now slowly beginning to understand. No wonder the second prince ran out of the imperial capital overnight after Li Chen became emperor.

No wonder Li Chen dared to declare war on the Northern Royal Court without restraint. This is his confidence.

The state of sainthood is so perfect that even Pang Jin cannot imagine it.

As a loyal minister, Pang Jin felt that his only supporter was the emperor.

Now I feel that this backer is too stable.

I was wondering why Prime Minister Zhao Wenyuan, that cunning guy, became so honest. It turns out he thinks the same as I do.

"Okay, just tell me in advance when you need me to take action."

After all, this is within Li Chen's "scope of work", so of course he will agree.

Only when these problems were solved could he sit comfortably.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never let anyone else know about this."

Hearing Pang Jin say this, Li Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

Is it shameful that I have reached the Great Perfection of Sainthood?
How could we not let a third person know about this?

I haven't planned to act since I reached the maximum level.

However, Pang Jin must have his own plans when he said this, so Li Chen let him handle it himself.

After Pang Jin left, Li Chen continued to review memorials, and completed the task when the work was finished.

On the other side, the Tianyan Divine Sect began to take larger actions.
