to nothing" Li Chen said.Zhou Ping'an remained meek and humble, projecting an image of gentleness and deference. He said, "As I've said before, the hardest thing to grasp in this world is the human h...Chapter 54: The Crown Prince Can Decide With a Single Word

Outside the main camp of the Feather Lin Guards, Li Chen was at the front, Su Zhendong slightly behind by half a body's length, and then came Su Pingbei and a squad of Jinyiwei.

The gates of the main camp were already surrounded by a fence. Behind the camp gate, soldiers marched in formation, their eyes fixed on Li Chen with suspicion.

Liu Bincheng quickly led people out.

"The last general, Liu Bincheng, deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, pays his respects to General Su!"

"See General Su!"

See General Su!

From within the barracks, came a unified roar from all the soldiers present.

Faced with such a welcome, Su Zhenting not only didn't feel happy, but his face changed slightly instead. He immediately looked at Li Chen and said, "Your Highness..."

"It's alright."

Li Chen said faintly, "I don't take this kind of divisive tactics seriously."

Su Zhen's heart eased slightly, and then he turned to Liu Bincheng with a stern shout: "Liu Bincheng, don't you see that His Royal Highness is here!"

Liu Bin bowed respectfully and said softly, "The last general only knows of the God of War, but not of any prince."

Besides, I don't know the Prince. If you want me to acknowledge him, please have the Prince present an imperial edict from the Emperor for verification. Only then will I acknowledge him.

Li Chen smiled upon hearing this, though his eyes were already brimming with murderous intent.

"Liu Bin, this palace has come to your personal barracks of the Imperial Guards. Doesn't Your Majesty have an imperial edict here for this palace"

Li Chen raised his voice and shouted, "Six years ago, this palace was named Crown Prince. The Emperor had already proclaimed the imperial edict to the world. You, a mere deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, dare not recognize this palace How, are you going to rebel"

Li Chen's large hat came down, and Liu Bincheng's face changed slightly. However, he still said in a composed manner: "According to the imperial law, all princes, unless they have an imperial decree, are not allowed to enter military camps or privately contact generals. The last general has no disloyalty in his heart, he is just following the law."

"Well done for acting according to the law."

Li Chen said indifferently: "This palace asks you, last month the emperor personally issued an edict, appointing this palace to supervise the country, did you receive the notice"

Liu Bin's face tightened, but he gritted his teeth and said: "This subordinate received it."

Then the empress asked him, "If I am acting as regent, what should I do" Li Chen pressed further.

Liu Bin couldn't speak, his face grim.

Since you can't speak for yourself, let this palace speak for you. According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, the Crown Prince oversees the country. All matters of state affairs, military secrets, diplomacy, promotion and dismissal fall under the prince's authority. He can decide on all major issues with a single word.

Sitting atop his steed, Li Chen was now like a new emperor ruling over all. He looked down at Liu Bin, whose face was slick with cold sweat, and said icily, "Now, can I be worthy of your bow"

A strong wind howled, carrying with it those soldiers. Nearly a hundred people were present at the scene, yet there was an eerie silence.

Everyone was stunned by Li Chen's words. They instinctively looked at Liu Bincheng, wanting to know what he would choose.

Liu Binchen felt a pressure on the young prince before him like that of mountains. This pressure filled him with both fear and despair.

Without a title, he could feel the prince's gaze fixed upon him.

That kind of gaze and aura put pressure on oneself, making one feel as if they were standing on a precipice, one careless step away from being shattered to pieces.

Under immense pressure, he took a deep breath, slowly knelt on the ground, and said: "My subordinate, Liu Bin, pays respects to His Highness the Crown Prince. Long live the Crown Prince, ten thousand years!"

Liu Bin knelt down, and the other soldiers and officers did not dare to resist. They all knelt down and shouted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Long live the Crown Prince, long live, long live!" of the entire campaign, began, Li Chenyuan in the capital was oblivious to it all.He was making love to Zhao Rui, who had just returned, in the Hundred Flowers Hall.Her gleaming back was covered in t...
