"Haha, another three million national defense troops..."

Liu Ziqing sneered disdainfully, as if the so-called three million national defense troops were not even worth his attention. "Do they know that you trained them?"

Hearing this, Liu Yuntian seemed somewhat proud and determined: "Of course, even the spiritual beast meat they eat every day is arranged by me!"

He seemed to take pride in what he did.

However, Liu Ziqing shook his head, with a hint of disappointment and helplessness in his eyes, "No, children, they only know that it is Mr. Liu who is training them, and Mr. Liu is working for Daliang."

He sighed deeply, then looked at Liu Yuntian with pity, and his tone became stern, "You have always been public-spirited, and you don't even take money for yourself. In the court, no one will buy into your selfless behavior. Others will just think you are stupid."

He pointed a finger at his nose and continued, "Especially your Majesty, he is the one who thinks you are stupid the most!"

Liu Yuntian frowned slightly, obviously not completely agreeing with what his father said, but he still listened quietly.

Liu Ziqing continued, "So what if you have all the power in the court? So what if the officials are afraid of you? Can you kill everyone? If everyone dies, who will help you govern the country? Can you personally go to each county to arrange for every citizen? They are acting fearlessly." His voice was full of helplessness.

"Just because everyone is not against you doesn't mean they are afraid of you. They are just waiting for an opportunity."

"What opportunity?" Liu Yuntian asked hurriedly.

Liu Ziqing smiled in an unfathomable way, "Princess Pingyang was killed by bandits on her way out of the city last night. Did you know that?"

"This is impossible!" Liu Yuntian exclaimed, "How could there be bandits in Daliang under my rule?"

"Oh, that's not a bandit...who could it be?" Liu Ziqing asked with a smile.

Liu Yuntian was slightly stunned when he heard this. It turned out... this was directed at me!

"Alas, Your Majesty was persecuted by treacherous officials, and your sister, who had supported and accompanied you all the way, was killed. You dare not speak out, and even have to make excuses for the most powerful official in Daliang..."

Liu Ziqing shook his head helplessly and sighed, "The treacherous minister threatened the emperor to order the ministers. In order to prevent the ministers from rebelling, he even killed innocent people indiscriminately and was suspected of raising troops for his own benefit... I'm afraid that someone will eventually suffer the consequences."

Hearing this, Liu Yuntian suddenly understood what Li Xinglan had done last night.

Liu Ziqing smiled slightly and said with a hint of sarcasm: "You are indeed very capable, but you are still far from understanding human nature. You fed him too much, so that he thought he could still control everything even without you."

He paused, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "After the donating, the donkey is killed. This sentence has never been a joke."

Nine years ago, Liu Yuntian transformed Daliang into an immortal cultivation dynasty, and a nine-year-long struggle began between father and son.

Whether in the court or at home, Liu Ziqing has been trying to compete with Liu Yuntian, but Liu Yuntian has never understood his painstaking efforts.

Finally, Liu Ziqing let out a long sigh: "It has been nine years since you turned Daliang into an immortal dynasty, and my father and I have been fighting for nine years. In the court and at home, how could my father have a grudge against you?"

Liu Yuntian took a deep breath, looked at his father and said, "Daliang is not stable now, and there are four sects nearby who are eyeing us covetously."

"Under your governance, isn't Daliang already the fifth sect? With your majesty in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and the Jindan generals of the National Defense Army, Daliang should be the leader among the five sects!"

"For an emperor, meritorious service is not important, but not making mistakes is the most important thing. Doing something may be wrong, but not doing it will definitely not be wrong."

Liu Ziqing gestured in the air, "After all, no emperor wants to be labeled a tyrant in history books after his death."

At this point, the two had already arrived in front of the Zhongsheng Gate. Liu Ziqing looked at the three big characters on the gate, adjusted his official hat, and smiled, "Today, I, your father, will borrow your light and also go to this Zhongsheng Gate!"

After saying that, he left straight away, not caring at all whether Liu Yuntian followed him or not.

Liu Yuntian stopped at the door and fell into deep thought. It seemed that Ye Xinglan was really going to start preparing for a rebellion.

He understood that his father would definitely not cheat him. If Pingyang was really dead, then someone would definitely take the opportunity to impeach him during the morning court today and collude with the emperor to tarnish his image.

In this way, the king and his subjects became the vulnerable group who suffered, and he, Liu Yuntian, became the oppressor.

If he arouses popular rebellion, the pillars of support that he has cultivated with his own hands may become sharp blades cutting his throat!

He does have some tricks... but they are still not smart enough. If I were to accept these tricks, it would seem very unreasonable. After all, I am the one who destroyed the aristocratic family.

How could I be tripped by such a small hand?

Then I’ll play with you for a while longer and see if you have any more powerful tricks!

Having made up his mind, Liu Yuntian stepped into Zhongsheng Gate and walked towards the court. Along the way, all the ministers bowed to him in flattery, but no one had any intention of approaching him.

After entering the palace, the ministers were talking a lot. When they noticed Liu Yuntian coming in, they all shut their mouths and stood quietly aside. Only his father Liu Ziqing, contrary to his usual behavior, smiled and nodded at him.

Liu Yuntian bowed in return, walked up to the dragon platform and sat down in the python chair under the gaze of the ministers, then slowly closed his eyes and waited quietly.

"Mr. Liu, shall we start?" The eunuch who was accompanying him walked quietly to Liu Yuntian's side and asked.

Liu Yuntian waved his hand and said, "Wait a little longer, His Majesty hasn't come yet."

Hearing Liu Yuntian's words, many ministers in the audience exclaimed, saying that His Majesty had not attended court for several years, and he felt a little uncomfortable for suddenly attending court today. On the contrary, he looked as if he had known about it for a long time, with a calm and confident expression.

"Your Majesty has arrived——"
