Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

"You..." Bai Xingling hesitated before transmitting her voice.

"What about me?" Li Junsu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Are you sure you just said the emperor?" Bai Xingling hesitated for a long time before finally asking.

The emperor described by Li Junsu was not exactly like him, but he was about 50-60% similar.

Especially in terms of personal charm, Li Junsu had only exchanged a few words with Ye Guhong when Ye Guhong looked at Li Junsu's departing figure and felt a little reluctant to leave.

"Don't overthink it," Li Junsu said casually, understanding Bai Xingling's concerns.

"Is there really anyone interested in the throne?" Li Junsu asked with amusement.

"...There shouldn't be any this time." Bai Xingling shuddered as she realized something.

The emperor's official duties were no joke. In fact, the most workaholic in the Great Qian Dynasty was the emperor himself, and the court officials were all forced to work hard because of him.

"If it weren't for the ministers supporting His Majesty, His Majesty might not have carried the retired emperor away," Li Junsu said with a smile.

In his world, during the Northern Gate Coup in history, the emperor even used tortoise shell divination, only to be kicked away by Fang Xuanlin.

If the divination says it won't work, does that mean you should just quit?

Then, the historically famous coup d'état was born.

“I’m also quite curious, who would dare to hold me hostage?” Li Junsu asked with great interest.

Bai Xingling's lips twitched as she thought of Su An and Bei Men Yue, two loyal followers.

Even if Li Junsu told Su An to commit suicide, Su An would think that his boss had found a secret method of ghost cultivation for him, and then he would cut off his own life with a swift stroke.

Without the slightest hesitation, for hesitation would not be Su An.

"You really have no interest in the throne?" Bai Xingling asked with a smile.

"No," Li Junsu said calmly.

Only those who have been leaders know the difficulties of being a leader.

He had absolutely no interest in the ultimate, enhanced position of family head.

As for whether his subordinates would be purged like Changsun Wuji after the new emperor ascended the throne, Li Junsu was not worried at all.

By then, he would have already become a supreme ruler, and as long as the new emperor hadn't lost his mind, he wouldn't cause him any trouble.

Even if the new emperor had truly lost his mind, Li Junsu wouldn't mind doing what Yi Huo did; his loyalty to Wei Feng had always been unwavering.

After that, Li Junsu and Bai Xingling went door to door to greet everyone.

One family was rather timid and just followed the crowd without behaving themselves. When Li Junsu arrived at their door, his pants were soaked.

Li Junsu gave Bai Xingling a few words of advice and then headed towards the palace.

Once the task is completed, then begin the report.

The two soon arrived at the Liangyi Hall, where the emperor was discussing the Western Regions with Pei Ju.

"Don't worry, I'll help you get revenge right away," the emperor said with a smile when he saw Li Junsu arrive.

"The matter of Qingfeng City is related to the Western Regions' secret sect, but you don't need to worry, the Khan will soon take it down." Pei Ju also smiled, showing no awareness of the chaos he had caused in the Western Regions.

"Business practices should be more honest now," Li Junsu nodded and then said.

"You've already finished?" the emperor asked in surprise.

What defines a capable minister? This is what defines a capable minister.

Li Jing needs a wake-up call every now and then before he's willing to work properly.

“Yes, and the eldest son of the Ye family…” Li Junsu nodded, and then began to recount Ye Guhong’s story.

"A genius! Let him take up the post of Guannei Circuit Intendant. Excellent, very good. I knew I hadn't misjudged you," the emperor praised.

Pei Ju nodded in agreement. Marquis Wu'an was indeed a workaholic just like His Majesty. He should stay away from him in the future.

This was privately certified by Fang Xuanlin and Du Ruhui, and other ministers also highly approved of it.

This is why Li Junsu had little interaction with them.

If you get too close to Marquis Wu'an, the emperor will be able to see you standing to the side with just a glance.

"With you in charge of security in the capital, I feel at ease. I also need your help with the Crown Prince; he's a bit lazy, so please don't be shy," the Emperor said.

The Crown Prince is still enjoying himself too much; he should learn a thing or two from Li Junsu.

"Yes, sir." Li Junsu cupped his hands in response.

"Alright, you should go back and rest now. Tomorrow, the Crown Prince will begin his training with you for three months," the Emperor decided.

"Yes."

......

The next day arrived quickly, and Li Junsu walked out of the Marquis's residence.

"Hey, what do you think the Crown Prince is like?" Bai Xingling asked curiously.

"I don't know." Li Junsu shook his head and walked towards the Wutong Courtyard.

He was also a little curious, because in his world, the crown prince was capable, but narrow-minded.

His character was truly terrible. Not only did he have male concubines, but he actually said in the palace that when he became emperor, he would govern the dynasty in the way of the Khan.

They also had to pay tribute to the Western Regions, which enraged the emperor.

This time, the crown prince is basically out of the running for the throne.

The son of the Heavenly Khan is to pay tribute to the Khan? What a ridiculous joke!

It's like when everyone is paying respects to their ancestors at the ancestral hall, a kid from another family comes in with a fake beard, swaggering in and casually shouting "Yoshi!"

From then on, this family became the biggest laughing stock in the village.

Later, Qingque began to be valued, but the crown prince rebelled, he was exiled, and died of illness.

Qingque is also a heavyweight; he can even say things like killing his own son to pass on the throne to his brother.

In the end, the youngest son got the best deal.

The youngest son's merits and demerits can only be said to be balanced; he destroyed Goguryeo, but the empress replaced him.

As Li Junsu pondered, he saw the young man standing at the entrance of Wutong Courtyard.

“It’s different.” Li Junsu looked at the Crown Prince in front of him, satisfied.

The Crown Prince had gentle features and a calm demeanor. Ignoring the weariness in his eyes, it was clear that he was by no means a petty person.

"Brother Su, just call me Chengqian." The Crown Prince said somewhat reservedly when he saw Li Junsu.

Last night, his father, the Emperor, gave a detailed account of the Marquis of Wu'an's military achievements, which terrified Chengqian.

The emperor also warned that if Li Junsu disciplined him, the emperor would not intervene.

Chengqian did not doubt the truthfulness of the emperor's words; he had been punished by his tutor many times when he was a child.

“The foundation is good, what are you standing outside for?” Li Junsu said as he walked into the Wutong Courtyard.

"I just want to see the heroic figure of Marquis Wu'an." Chengqian clearly had no arrogance whatsoever and began to flatter him.

"Have you eaten?" Li Junsu clearly wasn't buying it and asked instead.

"Not...not yet..." Chengqian touched his belly and said embarrassedly.

He came early in the morning to wait for someone, afraid of leaving a bad impression.

If the tutor reports to the emperor, his homework will be doubled the next day, and if he doesn't finish, his mother will sigh and complain.

From a young age, the Crown Prince was misled by his parents into developing a temperament prone to internal strife. Whenever his mother sighed, the Crown Prince would feel distressed and guilty towards her.

Sometimes the emperor would look at him and shake his head, which made the crown prince even more upset, so he would study hard late into the night.

By the time the crown prince came to his senses, he had already become a beast of burden.

The crown prince was not arrogant at all, and he humbly accepted advice. Apart from his tendency to waste his own time, he had no flaws.

Even when he wanted to avoid his studies, he would think about jumping off a building and crippling his own leg, rather than bothering the tutor.

He is the undisputed crown prince.

"Buy some breakfast, we'll get back to work after we eat," Li Junsu said to Bai Xingling, then looked at the Crown Prince.

"Thank you, Brother Su." Chengqian was a little surprised, but then happily agreed.

It's not as terrible as my father said; perhaps it's not as chaotic as it seems here.

"Wake up," Li Junsu said, skillfully pushing open the door.

He Tianci was extremely courteous; the fact that he allowed the Crown Prince to be outside in the wind meant that the boy was sleeping.

"Is it dawn?" He Tianci looked up, rubbing his eyes, and muttered.

Chengqian's heart skipped a beat when he saw the scattered files on the floor and the disheveled He Tianci.

This place... doesn't seem like a place where you can slack off.

......

"Is Your Majesty really so comfortable letting Chengqian go out?" Empress Zhangsun asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, the Crown Prince needs to be introduced to his future capable ministers," the Emperor said with a smile as he combed Empress Zhangsun's hair.

"It's good that Your Majesty is so at ease," said Empress Zhangsun with a smile.

"That lad Jun Su... it's a pity he doesn't want to stay in the court," the emperor said with some regret.

He had absolute trust in his ministers.

"Ugh!" Lady Changsun suddenly gagged.

"Imperial Physician!" the emperor exclaimed in surprise.

"I didn't eat anything strange last night," the emperor said, patting Empress Zhangsun's back and frowning.

"Your Majesty..." Empress Zhangsun touched her belly with a hint of helplessness.

Why does she feel like she's pregnant again?

"No way?" the emperor frowned and said.

The imperial physician arrived soon.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a positive pregnancy pulse," the imperial physician congratulated.

Empress Zhangsun and the Emperor exchanged a glance and fell silent.

Again?

The princess who will be the most favored in the future of the Great Qian Dynasty, a relative of the Great Qian Dynasty who claims to be a direct disciple of Prince An.

The baby rhinoceros is about to be born.
