The emperor faked his death? Never mind, I will ascend the throne directly!

The next morning, in the Golden Palace, Li Chengfeng leaned lazily on the dragon throne, his eyelids drooping as if a heavy weight was hanging on them.

I was busy all night and it was already dawn when I got back.

He had no time to pack, so he simply came directly to the Golden Palace, just wanting to take a nap before the morning court!

Soon, Goldman Sachs tiptoed to the dragon throne and called out a few times in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Looking at the slightly immature face of the new king in front of him, he sighed softly and continued to call out.

After a long moment, Li Chengfeng shuddered, rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, and drowsily opened his eyes and said, "This emperor is even more tiring than working a 996 shift. I shouldn't have joined in on this fun..."

Goldman lowered his head and coughed twice, but secretly admired the courage of the young emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time. The gentlemen from the morning court are already waiting outside the palace."

"Well, let them in." Li Chengfeng stretched, sat up straight, and his face instantly regained the imperial majesty.

Gao Sheng nodded, then walked towards the palace gate and sang loudly: "I summon all the nobles to come to the palace to see me—"

Hundreds of officials filed in and stopped. When they saw the figures of He Sheng and Zhang Huaian, they all froze in place.

Just yesterday, Zhang Huaian publicly impeached He Sheng for treason. Regardless of whether these two people are true or false, one of them must die...

How come they appeared together at the morning court today as if nothing had happened?

For a moment, whispers were heard everywhere in the court.

"Ahem, my dear ministers, please be patient."

Li Chengfeng sat on the dragon throne, glanced at the civil and military officials below, and interrupted loudly.

"I have something important to announce today."

When the True Dragon Emperor spoke, the Golden Palace, which had been a little noisy just now, suddenly became silent.

"The Zhenbei Army has guarded the northern border for decades, working tirelessly day and night, and has made tremendous contributions to our Daqian. I am deeply pleased."

"But the soldiers have been unable to return home for years, and their homesickness is beyond words. I cannot bear it!"

"I have decided that from today on, the five major camps will go to the northern border to guard the border for a year on behalf of the soldiers of the Northern Defense Army, allowing them to return home to visit their families!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

The Five Camps are elite troops guarding the capital, and they have always only obeyed the orders of the late emperor.

Whether it was Li Chenghao or Li Chengfeng, they could only barely control it with the tiger talisman.

The fact that the five major camps entered and returned two days ago is the best evidence!

Now, Li Chengfeng actually gave a direct order, asking them to replace the Zhenbei Army?

Many court officials looked at each other with a look of disbelief.

Li Chengfeng, can it be transferred?

"My lord, accept the order!"

The next moment, several commanders from the five camps stepped forward and knelt down to receive the order.

Inside the hall, the only sound was the sound of people gasping for air!

Li Chengfeng, did it!

Although the Five Battalions are not as numerous as the Zhenbei Army, they are more elite. Once the new emperor has these two trump cards in his hands, then...

"Your Majesty is wise. This move will not only alleviate the homesickness of the Zhenbei Army soldiers, but will also strengthen Daqian's border defenses. It truly kills two birds with one stone!"

"Your Majesty is very far-sighted and thoughtful. We admire him!"

Seeing that the five camps received the imperial edict, all the court officials were unwilling to lag behind and began to flatter the emperor.

Near the capital, apart from the Imperial Guards in prison, there are only the Five Camps and the Northern Guard Army left.

Now that Li Chengfeng is in charge of the military power in the capital, who dares to say a word against him in the court?

Li Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Yesterday, the remonstrant minister Zhang Huaian impeached He Sheng, the Marquis of Zhenbei, for privately storing a large amount of treasures and dragon robes..."

He changed the subject in just two sentences, and the entire Golden Palace fell silent in an instant.

After all, it was indeed unexpected that both of them were safe and sound after such a big incident!

"I conducted an overnight investigation and found countless treasures, all of which came from Li Chenghao's mansion."

"Such a large-scale concealment of private property is punishable by death according to the law!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Golden Palace seemed to have been paused. Not only the court officials, but even He Sheng stood there in a daze with his eyes wide open.

What is this kid doing?

"Your Majesty, are you crazy? You wanted to support He Sheng yesterday, and now you want to kill him?"

"Who knows, young people, you change your mind every day and always act impulsively..."

"This little emperor actually dared to cut off his own arm. Isn't he afraid that the Zhenbei Army will turn against him?"

Inside the hall, the ministers were in an uproar again.

Li Chengfeng ignored the crowd's comments and instead spoke to himself, "Considering that General He had come to the capital to protect the emperor and had made great contributions, and that the dragon robe was also a misunderstanding, the merits and demerits should be offset..."

A series of heavy gasps had already made the court officials somewhat numb.

After all this time, still no penalty?

"It's false that I've hidden the dragon robe, but it's true that I've never handed over any treasures."

"Come here! Bring up all the treasures General He found in Li Chenghao's mansion!"

Li Chengfeng simply ignored the gazes of the court officials and continued to read.

"With Li Chenghao's wealth, how many treasures can he have?"

"Yeah, it's just a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, a mild punishment."

"He is the emperor's uncle after all, can we really chop him off?"

...

Soon, boxes of "treasures" were brought up.

"Open!"

Following Li Chengfeng's order, the boxes were opened one by one, and suddenly, colorful lights illuminated the entire Golden Palace.

There are all kinds of rare treasures, such as night pearls, jade ruyi, coral trees...it's so dazzling!

"hiss--"

All the civil and military officials in the court were stunned and took a deep breath.

"This this..."

"Isn't this too much?!"

Didn’t we agree to copy it from the prince’s mansion?

This amount is probably enough to cover the tax revenue of an entire prefecture!

...

"Master Zhang, are you satisfied with my decision?"

The box was opened, and Li Chengfeng turned to Zhang Huaian with a smile, his face full of amusement.

These treasures were used by the other party to frame others.

Now, Li Chengfeng has used it to win people's hearts!

Not only did he lose the rice, but he also killed someone and destroyed his heart!

Hearing this, Zhang Huaian trembled all over and his expression became more weird.

After a long time, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

"Since Master Zhang has no objection, then it's settled."

Li Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction, sighed in a relaxed manner, and ignored the other party's trembling body due to anger.

Want to trip me up?

dream!

"By the way, pass on my oral decree and summon the King of Pingxi to come to the capital immediately!"
