The Rebirth of the Immortal Emperor: I am the Lord

In the imperial palace of the Dafeng Empire, the atmosphere was heavy and solemn. The regent, Crown Prince Li Mou, sat on the dragon throne with a serious face and a stern look. Although he was indecisive by nature, his eyes were unusually firm at this moment.

He knew that as the first heir to the throne of the empire, he should have taken over the throne of the empire immediately after his father passed away, and assumed the responsibility of protecting the country and ruling the people. However, his wish did not come true as expected.

After the death of the previous emperor, the drawbacks of the empire's numerous factions and the harem's interference in politics soon became apparent. Even though he held the title of Crown Prince Regent, his chances of being allowed to sit on the real throne and hold real power were uncertain and long-awaited, even shaky and full of variables.

Under this ever-changing situation, the Dafeng Empire fell into an unprecedented crisis. The empire was in turmoil due to the struggle for imperial power. Several of the emperor's brothers gathered their own troops, formed factions, secretly cultivated power, and formed cliques for personal gain, disregarding the safety of the empire. They each had their own camps, and the brothers secretly competed with each other and attacked each other, causing the entire country to fall into chaos. This led to the undercurrent of various forces, and the struggle for the throne between him and his brothers became more and more intense.

Prince Regent Li Mou knew that, except for the second prince, the other brothers wanted to dethrone him and replace him, so as to realize their ambitions of ascending the throne. The Luofeng Empire and the Tongqian Empire took advantage of the chaos and weakness of the Dafeng Empire and launched an aggressive war to seize the territory and resources of the Dafeng Empire, which made the empire face tremendous pressure and crisis both inside and outside.

However, just when the Dafeng Empire was busy dealing with the war between the two countries, the demon army suddenly emerged from the Great Wilderness Forest. They were like a group of ferocious, bloodthirsty and brutal beasts. As soon as they appeared, they launched a fierce attack and killing on the Great Wilderness City of the Empire, causing the people in the Great Wilderness City to live in misery. The Dafeng Empire, which was already in a precarious situation, was even worse off, facing the double blow of internal and external troubles.

Although Li Mou was the regent prince, he had to deal with several of his younger brothers and some ministers who only cared about their own interests and pretended to obey his orders but secretly disobeyed them, enriching themselves. Not only did his orders fail to get through, but even if they were implemented, they were just doing it for the sake of perfunctory work, with little effect. Li Mou did seek help from the Tianyuan Palace, his backer, but at this moment, the Tianyuan Palace was also being controlled and suppressed by the Wuji Palace and the Kunqian Palace, and there were several fierce sectarian wars, so it was simply unable to take care of the safety of his Dafeng Empire.

And now, suddenly, an extremely powerful Ye Tian and the Yanhuang Guards appeared again! Although Ye Tian and the Yanhuang Guards are currently only active in the Dahuang City, and their main goal is to deal with the demon army. But the regent prince Li Mou is very clear in his mind that the surrender of the four cities of the Dafeng Empire and the decrees issued by Ye Tian in these surrendered cities and the various measures implemented are tantamount to showing that Ye Tian must have the ambition to establish his own dynasty while the chaos is going on.

What makes Regent Crown Prince Li Mou feel most threatened is that the decrees and various policies issued by Ye Tian have seriously broken the traditional imperial dictatorship and have won the support and endorsement of the vast majority of the human race in the four cities. This is the most fatal to the Dafeng Empire. Just imagine that if people follow Ye Tian, ​​they can not only practice advanced immortal cultivation techniques and various skills and secrets such as alchemy, casting, array formations, talismans, and governing the country for free; they can also enjoy tax reductions, policy support, free medical care, improved treatment and other benefits. Now that there are good days to live, who the hell wants to go back to the rule of the empire that is full of corruption and exploitation, and doesn't care about their lives at all when the enemy invades? "The answer is definitely no."

Prince Regent Li Mou knew that the other princes, officials and ministers must also understand this, but no one had the courage to say it in person. But they all knew it in their hearts. "Ye Tian's ruling ideology is more terrifying than powerful military force, more terrifying than the invasion of the demons, and more terrifying than the armies of the Luofeng Empire and the Tongqian Empire. They understand that military force is important and terrifying. But military force can conquer the body, but it may not conquer the heart--!"

They all knew that if Ye Tian's ruling ideology continued to develop, the ruling foundation of the Dafeng Empire would inevitably be seriously shaken. Now four cities fell into Ye Tian's hands, but what about in the future? Maybe forty, four hundred - or even more. Thinking of this, the regent prince couldn't help but feel cold all over and sighed slightly! He thought to himself: "The Dafeng Empire is in danger! It's in danger!"

However, Li Mou found helplessly that even if he had anticipated this deep crisis, for now, he had no way to change anything. Ye Tian could lead the Yanhuang Guards to destroy the millions of demons in one hand. Even if they sent out thousands of troops to encircle and suppress them, they might not be the opponents of Ye Tian and the Yanhuang Guards. Li Mou, the regent prince, knew that if he rashly sent troops and failed, his Dafeng Empire would fall into a desperate situation, or even be destroyed.

Although he knew that there was a powerful force hidden in the empire, which might be able to destroy Ye Tian and his army, that force only obeyed the emperor's orders and could only be mobilized by the real emperor of the dynasty, even if he was the regent prince who exercised the power of regent. Moreover, that force was hidden very deeply, and that place could only be opened with the imperial seal. However, the death of the Immortal Emperor was too sudden, and they didn't even know where the imperial seal was hidden, so it was not easy to invite that force out.

Therefore, judging from various signs, the minister's strategy is undoubtedly the most appropriate and effective method. Li Mou thought that as long as Ye Tian took the bait, they might have a chance to kill Ye Tian quietly.

Of course, the regent prince Li Mou wanted to nip Ye Tian in the bud, but at the same time, he couldn't let the third prince Li Qian have an easy time. After all, among the many princes, Li Mou believed that Li Qian was the most powerful competitor for the throne and the most difficult one to deal with.

Moreover, he had long seen the little move of the third prince Li Qian winking at the official in the court. He thought, since Li Qian wanted to get rid of this muddy water and wanted Ye Tian to submit to him, then let him handle it with full authority. No matter what Li Qian was thinking or what kind of conspiracy he had, it didn't matter. In the eyes of the regent prince Li Mou, it just gave him a chance to go with the flow and deal with the third prince Li Qian, and directly threw the hot potato of designing to kill Ye Tian to him.

Because Prince Li Mou, the regent, knew that since Ye Tian could achieve this in such a short time, he was definitely not an ordinary person and it was impossible for him to be so easy to deal with. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the demon clan's powerful army of one million to be destroyed by Ye Tian's army in such a short time. In the eyes of Prince Li Mou, the idea of ​​letting Ye Tian surrender to the imperial court was probably just the wishful thinking of a few people in the court, and it would never succeed. And if they used force to intimidate, it would probably be counterproductive. At that time, they would not be able to persuade him to surrender, but would instead cause a disaster of death.

Therefore, in Li Mou's view, the Third Prince's intention was like walking a tightrope on a cliff. Even if he succeeded, the risk was still high. Once there was a mistake, he might be shattered into pieces and fall into an irretrievable situation.

The atmosphere in the court was solemn. Under his strong appearance, the regent prince Li Mou was full of fatigue and worry. Although he was indecisive, he was not stupid. He knew all the little tricks and secret rivalries of his younger brothers. So he went with the flow and directly handed over the matter of dealing with Ye Tian to the third prince Li Qian.

Because, Crown Prince Li Mou knew that with his current power, he could not stop the struggle for the throne. He also knew that the struggle for imperial power was always cruel and bloody, and he did not want the foundation of the empire to be shaken by the fight between brothers. He chose a wiser way - to observe quietly and secretly accumulate his own strength. As long as the third prince Li Qian and Ye Tian met, and the two tigers fought, then... he might be able to seize the opportunity.

In the court, Li Mou always remained calm. He listened carefully to the opinions and suggestions of every minister, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to balance the forces of all parties and maintain the stability of the empire. He knew that as the regent prince, he had to think about problems from the perspective of the empire. In private, Li Mou was also working hard to improve his abilities and reputation. He worked hard to learn the ways of governing the country and military strategies, and also paid attention to interacting and winning over court officials and generals. He hoped that through his own efforts, he could win the support and trust of more people, and lay a solid foundation for future victory and smooth succession to the throne.

Li Mou knew that he had to act cautiously and not let his impulse ruin the whole thing. He needed to gradually consolidate his position and weaken the power of other princes while ensuring the stability of the empire.

In his heart, the interests of the empire and himself were above everything else. He did not want to see the empire fall into chaos because of his weakness, and he did not want to see the empire lose its rule in his hands. Therefore, he was determined to make himself more ruthless, decisive and strong. He knew that only in this way could he win the battle for the throne and survive.
