The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 167 Forced
"I don't want the throne of emperor."

Li Yan shook his head, and his words calmed the feminine man's expression down again.

"But I am very dissatisfied with the current emperor, so I have chosen a new emperor for your Qing Dynasty."

Li Yan's words were like a bolt of thunder. The eunuchs around him looked nervous. They already understood why Li Yan summoned the empress dowager and the little emperor.

Force the little emperor to abdicate!
As long as the young emperor abdicates, a new emperor will be appointed according to the empress dowager's order.

Then the person chosen by Li Yan can legitimately become the new emperor of Qing Kingdom.

"What!?"

The feminine man's heart suddenly sank.

He also understood Li Yan's plan.

"The little emperor is still young. No matter what Grandmaster Li is dissatisfied with, he can correct it. When he grows up, he will surely become a wise ruler."

"I hope Grandmaster Li can change his mind!"

He knelt down in the hall and prayed to Li Yan anxiously.

"Wait until the little emperor grows up?"

Li Yan smiled lightly and said, "That won't work."

"I can't wait, and neither can the people of the world!"

"Since you don't have the ability to manage the world, then replace it with someone who is capable."

The feminine man retorted: "The emperor carries the mandate of heaven, how can anyone take on the responsibility?"

"If I say yes, then he can."

Li Yan turned his gaze to the eunuch beside him: "Why don't you go and ask someone to come over?"

"If you don't come, I will have to go and invite you myself."

"But then, I won't be as good-tempered as I am now."

The eunuchs were startled when they heard this and hurried to call the Queen Mother and the little Emperor.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a beautiful woman in an elegant phoenix robe, holding the hand of the little emperor, who was only seven or eight years old, walked into the hall accompanied by several eunuchs.

The woman in the phoenix robe is the current Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty, whose name is Lin Xinxue.

The little emperor was born to Lin Xinxue and was the only son of the previous emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

When Lin Xinxue saw Li Yan, tears welled up in her eyes, as if she was about to cry. She said to Li Yan, "Senior Li is a great master, is he bullying us, an orphan and a widow?"

"If you are not satisfied with my Li'er, I am willing to respect you as my Imperial Master and stay in the palace to teach Li'er. Isn't an emperor personally taught by you better than someone you randomly find?"

The little emperor also started crying and looked at Li Yan with tears in his eyes.

Li Yan watched coldly, not moved at all.

He knew very well that the Queen Mother was not as simple as she appeared to be.

If not for this, she would not be favored most among the six palaces and govern the imperial city so smoothly.

Although this person is quite talented, he is not a good person and has done many evil things.

In order to gain power, he assisted the tyrant in his atrocities, suppressed dissidents, and harmed countless good ministers.

The last bit of vitality of the Qing Dynasty was exhausted.

"He has a good appearance."

Li Yan looked at Lin Xinxue and said slowly.

Although she gave birth to the little emperor, she is only in her twenties now and still looks graceful and beautiful.

Lin Xinxue's heart moved when she heard the words, and she looked at Li Yan with seductive eyes.

Seeing that Li Yan was young, she thought that Li Yan was captivated by her beauty, and felt a little secretly happy in her heart.

Even if he is a Grandmaster, so what? He still has to bow down to me.

However, the joy in her heart only lasted for a moment. Li Yan's next words made her heart chill, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

"It's a pity that he has a vicious heart."

Li Yan shook his head: "I know all the evil things you have done. It's useless to play the victim in front of me."

Lin Xinxue immediately knelt on the ground, her face turned pale, and she said tremblingly: "Senior, please understand and don't be deceived by the rumors outside. I am just a woman, how could I do anything evil!"

"It doesn't matter."

"It's no use telling me whether it's true or not. Someone will find out the truth when the time comes."

Li Yan smiled lightly, not caring about Lin Xinxue's explanation.

"You must issue an order immediately, ordering the little emperor to abdicate and let King Ming take the throne." Lin Xinxue's heart trembled when she heard this.

She had contact with Ming Wang, but it was not a good thing.

After the young emperor ascended the throne, she threatened King Ming with his own son in order to seize the military power and force King Ming to hand it over.

However, she did not expect that the son of the Ming King committed suicide, making her plan fail.

Since the matter was secret and could not be exposed in public, she could only give up targeting King Ming for the time being.

Moreover, King Ming had some reservations and did not dare to openly rebel and seek revenge on her.

So the matter was put on hold for the time being.

And if she follows what Li Yan said and lets King Ming ascend the throne, then her future fate can be imagined.

Lin Xinxue replied firmly, "The affairs of the court should be resolved by the court itself. As a man of the martial arts world, you should not disrupt the court. Please take back your order. I will never issue such an order."

Naturally, she had already known about the appearance of Grand Master Li Yan.

Therefore, Li Yan's deeds are also very clear.

Li Yan has a gentle temperament and is a modest gentleman.

Although he is very powerful, he rarely kills people.

A gentleman deceives others.

As a woman and the empress dowager of the time, her death would have a huge impact.

So she thought that Li Yan would not kill her, otherwise she would not dare to come to the hall.

Li Yan smiled lightly when he heard that. He glanced at Lin Xinxue and saw what she was thinking at a glance.

"It seems that you know me a little bit and believe that I will not kill you."

"I dare not speculate on your opinion, Senior, but what you said is too much for me to accept. I cannot agree to it."

Lin Xinxue naturally didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of Li Yan, and still looked pitiful.

Li Yan said softly: "Well, it just so happens that I have been taking advantage of my free time these days to deduce the martial art of Life and Death Talisman."

"Since you are unwilling to issue an order, then accept my talisman and see if you will change your mind."

"The Talisman of Life and Death?"

Lin Xinxue felt a little frightened.

Although she had never heard of this name, she felt from the name that this martial art must be extremely vicious.

However, it was too late for her to change her mind now. Li Yan casually injected a stream of cold energy into Lin Xinxue's body.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xinxue felt a surge of intense pain flooding into her mind.

"what!"

Lin Xinxue screamed in pain, and the little emperor beside her was frightened and burst into tears.

The eunuchs around him did not dare to attack Li Yan. They could only stand there and listen to Lin Xinxue's painful cries.

And when the feminine man learned that the king chosen by Li Yan was King Ming, he stopped talking.

He was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, not to the young emperor and the empress dowager.

Prince Ming is a member of the royal family of the Qing Dynasty and has royal blood, so there is no reason for him to stop Prince Ming from succeeding to the throne.

And even if he tried to stop it, would it really work?
After figuring this out, he sighed, stopped paying attention to Lin Xinxue who was screaming, and walked away.

Lin Xinxue began to regret the moment the life and death talisman was implanted into her body.

Although she has practiced martial arts, her endurance is not weak.

But the life and death talisman derived by Li Yan made her feel extreme pain.

More importantly, she didn't even have the right to faint.

So she couldn't bear it at all.

Li Yan took back the life and death talisman after a while.

Lin Xinxue was already sweating profusely, but she did not dare to hesitate, fearing that Li Yan would activate the life and death talisman again, so she hurriedly said, "Senior, I am willing to issue an order!"

Li Yan nodded. Since Lin Xinxue was willing to cooperate, things would go much more smoothly next.

A peaceful change of dynasty is the fastest way with the least impact on ordinary people.

Otherwise, if we attack the imperial city one place at a time, I don’t know when we can see the Ming King ascend the throne.
