The Rebirth of the Immortal Emperor: I am the Lord

In the imperial palace of the Dafeng Empire, the ministers were discussing with each other, their hearts full of worries and concerns. After listening to the ministers' analysis of Ye Tian and the Yanhuang Guards, Crown Prince Li Mou frowned tightly.

However, the Third Prince Li Qian did not care. He stood up and retorted sinisterly, "Your Highness, although Ye Tian and his Yanhuang Guards are fighting against the demons, they are, after all, a new force in our Dafeng Empire. Their rapid rise has seriously affected the reputation and rule of the empire. If we don't make plans early, they may become a major concern for our Dafeng Empire in the future."

He paused and continued, "What's more, four cities have already broken away from the rule of our Dafeng Empire and joined Ye Tian. This is obviously a rebellion. If we don't take action, more cities will definitely follow suit, and Ye Tian's power will grow stronger. By then, how will our Dafeng Empire end?"

"So this king suggests that we either send someone to persuade them to surrender immediately, let Ye Tian lead the Yanhuang Guards to submit to the court, grant him a minor official position, and let him continue to resist the demon army. Of course, this is only a last resort. If everyone follows suit, where will the dignity of our empire be? Therefore, this king advocates that Ye Tian and his forces be wiped out immediately, and all those rebellious city lords and officials be exiled to serve as a warning to others, and to revive the government of our Dafeng Empire. We must not let them have the opportunity to develop, and we must not let some cities and forces have the idea of ​​taking chances."

"As for the criticisms of the human race in the world, we just need to be more clever and let the world know that we are for the peace and stability of the entire empire, not targeting a certain person or force. Moreover, no city or force in the empire may privately raise troops. This is an iron law. Not only did Ye Tian violate it, but he also openly rebelled and occupied the cities of our empire. This is a capital crime punishable by the death of nine clans. Even if he is beheaded on the spot, it is what Ye Tian deserves."

"Although our Dafeng Empire lost some cities and consumed a large amount of our empire's manpower in the war with the Luofeng Empire and the Tongqian Empire, we still cannot leave such a force alone."

The voice of the Third Prince Li Qian was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the court, causing a commotion and discussion. His words revealed determination and firmness, but also carried a strong threat.

After the Third Prince finished speaking, the Second Prince Li Tai, the Fourth Prince Li Bing and the Fifth Prince Li Huo also expressed their support for the Third Prince's point of view. They believed that they must take decisive action to strangle Ye Tian in the cradle before he fully rises. Especially the Second Prince Li Tai, he was furious and shouted loudly: "Prince, why don't you let your younger brother go and get Ye Tian's dog head back now to prevent future troubles."

Some old officials were cautious, believing that they should observe for a while to see the true intentions and strength of Ye Tian and his Yanhuang Guards before making a decision. They were worried that if they acted rashly, it might lead to a greater crisis.

The atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense. Crown Prince Li Mou watched the heated discussions among the princes and ministers, and his heart was full of contradictions, and his face became more solemn. He knew that what the third prince Li Qian and the ministers said made sense. The stability and unity of the empire are of vital importance, and any challenge to the authority of the empire must be taken seriously. However, he was still cautious about taking direct action against Ye Tian, ​​after all, Ye Tian currently played an important role in fighting the demons. And this is an important decision related to the future of the empire, and it must be carefully considered.

After pondering for a long while, Crown Prince Li Mou took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "My dear brothers and ministers, this crown prince understands everyone's worries and concerns. In particular, what the third brother said is very true. The stability and unification of the empire is our top priority. The whole world belongs to the king. On the land of my Dafeng Empire, we will never allow people and forces like Ye Tian who ignore the majesty of my court to appear. But at this moment, we must remain calm and rational. Although Ye Tian and his Yanhuang Guards have risen rapidly, and our four cities have broken away from the rule of the empire, they are after all to fight against the demons and protect the safety of the human race. So we need to weigh the pros and cons and not lose the big picture for the small. If we take action against them at this moment, we may be spurned and condemned by the human race in the world, which is extremely detrimental to the reputation and majesty of my Dafeng Empire."

He paused and continued, "Moreover, the war between our Dafeng Empire and the Luofeng Empire and Tongqian Empire has already severely damaged the vitality of our empire. It is really not appropriate to act rashly and start a war with Ye Tian again. Therefore, this prince proposes to send officials with generous gifts to try to persuade him to surrender and see if Ye Tian can be made to submit to the court. If he agrees, we can not only resolve this crisis, but also strengthen the empire's strength against the demons and the Luofeng Empire and Tongqian Empire. If he disagrees, we will consider taking other actions--."

After hearing this, the ministers in the court began to discuss the proposal of Crown Prince Li Mou. Some agreed with the Crown Prince's opinion that they should try to persuade the enemy to surrender and resolve the issue peacefully, while others supported the Third Prince's view that they should take decisive action to eliminate this uncertain hidden danger and threat as soon as possible, so as to avoid it becoming too big to be eliminated and leaving trouble for the empire.

Seeing that the debate was endless, a minister cleared his throat and stood up and said, "Crown Prince, all the princes, I have a plan. Do you think it will work? We can prepare generous gifts and go to Fuxing City, confer an official title on Ye Tian, ​​reward the Yanhuang Guards, and then let Ye Tian go to the empire to meet the crown prince. If he disobeys orders, it means that this person must have the intention of rebellion, so we should not only be on guard, but also get rid of him as soon as possible. If he is happy to come to meet the Crown Prince, in order to eliminate future troubles, we can also set a trap to kill this person and throw his body into the wilderness. At that time, we only need to spread the word that this was done by the demons, and we can stop everyone from talking. And his army, without a leader, will not pose a big threat and can be easily destroyed..."

When everyone heard this, there was a burst of voices of agreement in the court. Finally, after intense discussions and deliberations, all the princes and ministers unanimously agreed with the minister's proposal.

Crown Prince Li Mou also nodded, indicating his agreement with the plan. He knew that as the Crown Prince Regent, he had to consider the stability of the empire when exercising the power of the emperor. Although Ye Tian's rise was disturbing, it would be best if the trouble could be solved in this way.

"Since everyone agrees with this plan, let's act as soon as possible. But I wonder who is willing to go to Fuxing City to convey this prince's will?" Prince Li Mou asked the ministers.

Hearing this, the Third Prince immediately winked at an official beside him. The official understood and immediately stepped forward and said, "Prince, I am willing to go."

When Crown Prince Li Mou saw an official willing to go to Fuxing City, he smiled with satisfaction. He nodded in appreciation and said, "Well, I am very pleased to have such a loyal and brave minister like you. You should prepare immediately and set off for Fuxing City tomorrow. Be sure to convey my will, observe Ye Tian's reaction, and report to me at any time."

"Yes! Prince. I will do my best to live up to your trust and complete the mission successfully." The official bowed, answered loudly, and left. With a nervous mood, the official left the court. But he knew that Ye Tian and his power should not be underestimated, otherwise the million-strong army of the demon clan could not be destroyed just by saying so.

The others knew it, and he knew it too, but no one said it out loud. So this mission was by no means that simple, and if it went wrong, he might even lose his life. If the Third Prince Li Qian hadn't winked at him, he wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this mess. But he was the Third Prince Li Qian's man, and he had to obey the Third Prince's arrangements. Otherwise, if he angered the Third Prince, this sinister and vicious Third Prince would not let him go easily.

After the official left, Crown Prince Li Mou turned to other ministers and continued, "During the time when the envoy is on his way to Fuxing City, we must strengthen our surveillance of Ye Tian's forces and make preparations for both situations. If Ye Tian accepts our conditions, that would naturally be the best outcome; if he refuses, we must also be prepared to ensure the safety of the empire."

Finally, the prince looked at the third prince Li Qian and said, "Third brother, the matter of setting a trap to ambush Ye Tian is left to you. You must ensure that no accidents occur."

Hearing this, a gleam of fierceness flashed across the eyes of the Third Prince Li Qian, but he hid it in an instant and replied with a smile, "Yes, Prince, rest assured. I will make sure that Ye Tian has no chance to return and cannot escape even if he has wings."

"Yes!" Regent Prince Li Mou nodded in response, then turned his gaze to the other three princes, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, you must supervise the war with Luofeng Empire and Tongqian Empire. Although my Dafeng Empire is under attack from both countries, they are restrained by the sects above, and they cannot use too much power. But even so, we still lost several cities. This is not good...!"
