The Rebirth of the Immortal Emperor: I am the Lord

In the court of the Dafeng Empire, the struggle for imperial power is intensifying, as fierce as a storm. In particular, the struggle between the regent prince Li Mou and the third prince Li Qian has reached a fever pitch and has fallen into an insoluble deadlock.

Officials who supported Crown Prince Li Mou urged him to ascend the throne immediately to stabilize the government. The followers of the third prince Li Qian were not to be outdone. They began to loudly refute, accusing Crown Prince Li Mou of dereliction of duty and cowardice, trying to prove that the crown prince was not a qualified candidate for the emperor. They claimed that only Li Qian could save the Dafeng Empire from danger. Their words were equally sharp, challenging the crown prince's position.

In the court, the two sides exchanged sharp words and argued endlessly. Everyone tried their best to support the prince they supported, hoping to gain an advantageous position in this battle for imperial power. The court once again fell into a fierce debate.

However, this fight is not only about the ownership of the throne, but also about the future and fate of the Dafeng Empire. Behind the fight for the throne, there are hidden temptations of power, the volatility of people's hearts and the crisis of the empire. If this fight cannot be properly resolved, the Dafeng Empire may fall into a deeper crisis.

Looking at the civil and military ministers arguing endlessly in front of them, at this moment, Crown Prince Li Mou and Third Prince Li Qian both revealed a cruel sneer in their eyes. Although the ministers did not know what the meaning behind their smiles was, they all shuddered at the same time, as if indicating that something big was about to happen.

However, just as they were extremely terrified, the sound of fierce fighting came from outside the court, getting closer and closer until it was deafening. Then, a guard covered in blood rushed in in a panic, and reported in a trembling voice: "Report-Report, Prince. General Tianwei led 100,000 troops to break into the palace and has engaged the palace guards. Your Highness, please make a quick decision-!" After he finished speaking, the guard fell in a pool of blood due to his serious injuries, and there was no sound anymore.

Seeing this, the ministers were immediately terrified and uneasy. They looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with this sudden change.

Although Crown Prince Li Mou already knew that the great general Tianwei was the Third Prince Li Mou's man, at this moment, although Crown Prince Li Mou's face changed slightly, he did not panic. He just raised his head and stared at the Third Prince Li Qian like an eagle, and said coldly: "Li Qian, is this all your arrangement?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Facing the sharp gaze of Crown Prince Li Mou, a hint of pride flashed across the face of the Third Prince Li Qian, and then he laughed loudly, "Crown Prince, I have said before that you are not suitable to be the emperor of the Dafeng Empire. Only I, Li Qian, am the best candidate for the emperor of the Dafeng Empire. What do you think? Do you want to step aside by yourself, or wait for my people to invite you down?"

"Oh, is it so?"

"Li Qian, are you so sure that you can seize the throne?" A sneer appeared on the corner of Crown Prince Li Mou's mouth. His eyes were full of determination and confidence, as if he was facing not a rebellion, but just a trivial disturbance.

"Li Qian, the throne is no joke. It represents the dignity of the empire and you cannot easily seize it by force." Although the voice of Crown Prince Li Mou was calm, every word struck the heart of everyone present like a heavy hammer.

A trace of disdain flashed across the face of the Third Prince Li Qian. He waved his hand, signaling the guards around him not to act rashly. He stared coldly at the Crown Prince Li Mou and said, "Li Mou, do you think you can still turn the tables? My people have already controlled the important roads in the palace. I'm afraid your guards and officials are in danger now."

Crown Prince Li Mou smiled slightly, as if all this was within his expectations. He clapped his hands gently, and a group of guards in black armor walked out from the darkness of the court. They were well-trained, with sharp eyes, and they were the elite among the elites.

"Li Qian, do you think my experience as regent over the years has been in vain?" Crown Prince Li Mou's voice was filled with contempt, "Do you think I don't know your actions? Do you think I don't know your ambitions? I have arranged these assassins to guard against you in secret a long time ago, but I didn't expect that they would come in handy now."

However, facing these murderous warriors, the Third Prince Li Qian did not show any panic on his face. Instead, he looked at the Crown Prince Li Mou with a cold smile, and then taunted him: "Brother, do you think that since I dare to take action, I only have this little power on the surface? No, you are wrong, because you will never be able to imagine how long I have been preparing for this day. Not to mention you, even that old thing...!"

"You, you, you -! No wonder His Majesty would -!" Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Li Mou pointed at the Third Prince Li Qian, but was so angry that he trembled all over and was speechless for a long time.

However, the Third Prince Li Qian sneered at this time and said madly: "Brother, it's a pity that you all know all this too late. You and that old man can go to hell together! The emperor of the Dafeng Empire can only be me, Li Qian."

"Do it!"

Following the order from the Third Prince Li Qian, countless people of the night rushed out from all directions of the court in an instant. They held sharp blades in their hands and exuded a different aura. They were like ghosts in the darkness, and they pounced madly on the Crown Prince Li Mou and a group of court officials who supported the Crown Prince. The court suddenly fell into chaos, with screams, shouts, and the collision of weapons one after another.

At this time, although Crown Prince Li Mou was shocked by the plan of the Third Prince Li Qian, he had the protection of his assassins. Although those men in black were fierce, the assassins he trained were equally strong. Under the protection of the assassins, he quickly regained his composure. He drew the sword at his waist and shouted loudly: "Destroy the rebels, kill them, and leave no one alive!"

"Old Wu, kill this traitor Li Qian and avenge your father."

As Crown Prince Li Mou finished speaking, a puff of green smoke was seen floating across the court, and two sounds of cutting were heard immediately. They sounded so crisp, yet made people feel extremely frightened.

"Hahahahahaha! Brother Royal, stop struggling in vain. You are destined to never be my opponent."

"laugh!"

"you?"

Just when Li Qian was feeling proud, a black sword pierced through his heart without any warning -!

"puff!"

As the black sword was pulled out from Li Qian's chest, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He covered his chest with both hands, shook his body and said ferociously: "Emperor, I didn't expect that you - you - you actually have such a skill. It seems - it seems that I - I didn't die unjustly -!" As he spoke, Li Qian fell straight down with a thud. Until his death, he still stared with unwilling eyes.

However, just as Crown Prince Li Mou thought that his mission was accomplished and he breathed a sigh of relief, a sharp dagger pierced through his chest from his back.

"Ugh! Poof!"

Looking at the sword tip still dripping blood on his chest, it seemed so ironic to Li Mou at this moment. Li Mou slowly turned his head and looked at the eunuch who was still holding the hilt of the sword. He stared at the eunuch with bloodshot eyes and shouted hoarsely with a breath: "Dog slave, this-this prince treats you well, why is this?"

"No reason. Just because you are also blocking my way. So, you must die."

However, the one who answered Li Mou was not the eunuch standing behind him, but the second prince Li Tai, who suddenly stepped into the court from outside with a team of soldiers and strong men.

"Li--Li Tai? Aren't you only interested in martial arts and not interested in government affairs? Why--?"

Yes! My brother. You are all fighting for the throne, what else can I do if I don't indulge in martial arts? But you are all too disappointing, so I have to reconsider whether it is appropriate to leave the Dafeng Empire in your hands. So don't blame me for being cruel, for the future of the Dafeng Empire, I have to do this. My brother, just go with peace of mind! The Dafeng Empire in my hands will definitely be stronger than yours.

Hearing this, Li Mou once again spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his body almost fell down. However, he still held on to his last breath, laughed miserably and said in a self-deprecating manner: "Hahahahaha, hahahahaha! So that's how it is, so that's how it is! How could I be so stupid——!"
