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

Tiezhu felt that there was nothing to hide, so he added directly.

Li Chengfeng didn't show any surprise, as if he had expected it. "I know."

"Although we have alerted some enemies tonight, it is not entirely without gain. At least we have eradicated the cancer that is Qian Youliang, and this has weakened the power of the Right Prime Minister."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Zhao Sheng and Tie Zhu said in unison.

"However, Prince Gong's rebellious intentions are already obvious, and we have to be on guard."

Li Chengfeng sighed, a sharp look flashing in his eyes.

He Sheng, standing by, could no longer contain his excitement and said, "Your Majesty, I request your permission to immediately lead the troops to capture Prince Gong as a warning to others!"

Li Chengfeng waved his hand: "Don't act rashly!"

"Cheng Qitian has deep roots in the imperial court and holds military power. If we alert him, he will only become desperate."

"We have to wait until the evidence is solid before we can catch them all!"

The meeting hall of the Five Camps was filled with smoke and the atmosphere was solemn.

Xiong Kuohai's rugged face was filled with anger. He slammed his fist on the table, shaking the teacup. "Does this little emperor really think we're made of clay?"

"He's violating our ancestral system, reforming the imperial examination system, and promoting people from humble backgrounds... Your Majesty is right. He's trying to shake the very foundation of our Qian Dynasty!"

On Wei Wuji's thin face, a pair of sinister eyes narrowed into a slit.

Qin Feng calmly fiddled with the teacup in his hand: "Prince Gong is right. We must 'clean up the imperial court'!"

"This court has long been bewitched by treacherous officials!"

Shangguan Yun flicked his sleeves, his gentle mask concealing a deep rage. "Your Majesty, by acting this way, where do you place us meritorious officials? Where do you place the late emperor's will?!"

"Don't worry, generals. We have soldiers at our disposal. Why should we be afraid of a piece of shit like the emperor?"

"However, we still need to consider how to fight this battle."

Jiang Long, the commander of Feiyu Camp, gently waved his feather fan with a hint of sneer on his face.

"What the hell are you still planning!"

Xiong Kuohai was furious. "Lead the troops directly into the palace and dethrone the little emperor!"

Wei Wuji waved his hand to calm Xiong Kuohai's anger.

"We must have a legitimate reason. Prince Cheng Qitian's call is our best banner."

"'Clear the emperor's side,' punish the treacherous and corrupt, and support the country. In this way, the whole world will be united!"

Qin Feng nodded in agreement: "Wuji's words make sense."

"Our five camps are strong and powerful, and with the addition of the garrisons from various places and the power of the Immortal Cult, why should we worry about not accomplishing something great?"

"Okay! Let's do it!"

Xiong Kuohai excitedly slammed the table and stood up, "I've been displeased with that little emperor for a long time!"

"This time, I must let him know who is the true master of Qian Dynasty!"

Shangguan Yun and Jiang Long looked at each other and expressed their agreement.

Therefore, the commanders of the five camps reached a consensus and decided to respond to Cheng Qitian’s call and raise an army to "clear the court."

Their base camp is only a hundred miles away from the capital, and there are garrisons scattered all over the place. Once an uprising occurs, the capital will be in danger.

The five major camps quickly issued orders, and the troops from all over the country joined forces with the Changsheng Sect. A storm was about to sweep across the Qian Dynasty.

……

In the imperial study, Li Chengfeng stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window at the dark night sky, his mind racing.

Tonight's action has indeed alerted the enemy.

"His Majesty."

He Sheng clasped his fists and said, "Cheng Qitian and Qi Daokun, these two old foxes, will probably do something desperate soon."

Li Chengfeng turned around and nodded in response: "I know."

And according to the plot of the game, they are not far from starting an uprising.

"Your Majesty is holy."

He Sheng said in a deep voice, "I request your permission to immediately strengthen the guard to prevent any accidents."

"He Sheng."

Li Chengfeng was silent for a long time before he asked, "How many soldiers do you have?"

"Your Majesty, the number is small, but they are all elite soldiers, about 80,000."

He Sheng answered truthfully.

"Eighty thousand..."

Li Chengfeng pondered for a moment, "I will leave the Hidden Dragon Guard to you. Please make sure you are fully prepared."

He Sheng was a little surprised, "Hidden Dragon Guard?"

"I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. If the Hidden Dragon Guards leave your area, safety is at a premium..."

"Don't worry about that."

Li Chengfeng interrupted him, "Although the Hidden Dragon Guards only have 600 men, each one of them is a skilled fighter capable of defeating a hundred with one."

"With them here, I feel more at ease."

"I obey your command! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!"

He Sheng knelt down excitedly to receive the order.

"Get up."

Li Chengfeng helped He Sheng up, "I believe you won't let me down."

"I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"

He Sheng answered firmly.

Li Chengfeng nodded, but was secretly calculating in his heart.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, again and again, with a slow and steady rhythm, as if tapping on some unknown fate.

With 80,000 soldiers and horses, plus the Hidden Dragon Guards, against the five major camps, garrisons from various places, and the Changsheng Sect of unknown size, the chances of victory are slim.

He needed more, more...

At the same time, in the Hexi area, thick smoke billowed and shouts of killing shook the sky.

This battle was one-sided from the very beginning.

How can the motley crowd of the Changsheng Sect resist the well-trained imperial army?

What's more, Zhang Yuan was well aware of the significance of Li Chengfeng's new policy. He was full of energy and led his soldiers to attack fiercely.

The battle ended quickly. Su Yuan and Chen Ling, the two leaders of the Changsheng Sect, were tied up and brought to Zhang Yuan.

Su Yuan's face was full of horror, while Chen Ling pretended to be calm, but his trembling legs betrayed his inner fear.

"Tell me! Who ordered you to play tricks and deceive the people?"

Zhang Yuan asked sternly, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

Su Yuan was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he answered tremblingly: "Yes... yes..."

"It's me!"

Chen Ling suddenly interrupted Su Yuan and said with his neck stiff, "Why, if you want to kill me, just kill me. Stop pretending!"

Zhang Yuan sneered, "You're being stubborn? Come on, torture me!"

Several soldiers immediately stepped forward, pinned Chen Ling to the ground, and whipped him like raindrops.

Chen Ling's screams resounded through the night sky, but he still clenched his teeth and refused to utter a word.

Seeing this, Chen Tingshu on the side shook his head, walked to Zhang Yuan and whispered, "Master Zhang, let me try."

Chen Tingshu walked up to Chen Ling, squatted down, and said calmly: "Chen Ling, I know you are a smart person, why would you sacrifice your life for others in vain?"

"You don't understand this principle, do you?"

Chen Ling raised his head and glared at Chen Tingshu fiercely, "Stop pretending! I'll kill you or chop you up, it's all up to you!"

Chen Tingshu sighed and continued, "Who do you think you are working for?"

"Cheng Qitian? Qi Daokun?"

"They're just using you as a pawn to be discarded after they're done using you."

"Look at your current situation. Is it worth it?"

Chen Ling was silent. Chen Tingshu's words were like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

He began to doubt whether everything he had done was really worth it.

"I'll give you one last chance."

Chen Tingshu's voice was deep and powerful. "Tell me who is behind this, and I can plead with His Majesty to spare your life."

Chen Ling's heart began to waver. He looked at Zhang Yuan, then at Chen Tingshu. Finally, he lowered his head helplessly like a deflated ball, "I say... I say..."

At the same time, the team exploring the tunnels of the ruined temple discovered a huge secret.

Deep in the tunnel, there are piles of gold, silver and treasures, shining with dazzling light.

A rough estimate is that there are at least four million taels of silver!

This huge sum of money is enough to prove the scale of Changsheng Sect's wealth accumulation, and it is also enough to become the key evidence to bring down Qi Daokun and Cheng Qitian.
