My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 409 - 276: Victory for the Conqueror, Defeat for the Vanquished【Combined】

This was much easier than practicing Legalism, Confucianism, or the Martial Path.

If everyone knew this, it would not be conducive to the harmony and stability of the nation and the continent.

Of course, any acquisition of power came at a price.

In a nation, only one person could possess such power, and that was the Emperor himself; his progeny would find it very difficult to inherit any cultivation talent.

Unless they sought the external cultivation paths of Legalism or Confucianism.

The current Imperial Family used to be a famous family with noble Martial Path bloodlines, no different from the Wang family, Pei family, or Cui family. However, once the Li family established itself firmly upon the throne, no Martial Path prodigies had emerged among their descendants.

The drawbacks of the Royal family didn't end there.

While the Emperor held immense power, he did not have a life span that matched his strength.

His master appeared only a bit older than his mother-in-law, yet he was already 120 years old, and living another 60 years wouldn't be difficult.

But the lifespan of the Royal family was no longer than that of commoners.

Moreover, the Emperor's power was deeply bound to the state of the nation.

Should national power weaken or foreign nations encroach on its territory, his strength would accordingly diminish.

If the nation perished, all his power would vanish.

No wonder, despite being an emperor, he dared to leave the palace alone, faced with Martial Path Half-Saints of the Sixth Realm, he remained calm throughout. The masters within the palace were also confidently arranged within the military because he had enough confidence in his own strength.

However, Li Nuo could see that there was still a hint of envy in His Majesty's eyes when he looked at his master.

He looked young but was already sixty years old. He couldn't possibly remain emperor for another sixty years.

Li Nuo came back to his senses and bowed to the Grandmasters from Hua Mountain, Heng Mountain, and the three other Sects in the capital, saying, "I apologize for involving all the senior masters in this matter..."

Had he known things would turn out this way today, he wouldn't have needed to write those several letters.

The Grandmasters returned the gesture, their tone very polite.

"No, no, no, during my days in Chang'an, I have gained a lot."

"Hehe, how could we not lend a hand when a young friend is in need?"

"With Senior Su here, we didn't really provide much help..."

As Li Nuo exchanged pleasantries with the Grandmasters, King Chun finally recovered from the massive shock he had experienced.

Hearing that King You had collaborated with so many to target Xuanjing, he immediately rushed over with his people.

However, King Chun Mansion's forces were insignificant in comparison.

Unexpectedly, the coup d'état led by King You to purge the court ended with the Father Emperor right there.

Just when he was worried that the Father Emperor would be swept up by public opinion, he suddenly learned that Crown Prince's death years ago was orchestrated by King Han and King You.

In the blink of an eye, the offense and defense switched.

King Han and King You were, on the spot, demoted to commoners, and the people involved in their plots were arrested by the Imperial Army.

The speed and magnitude of the turnaround were so great that even he needed some time to accept it.

After regaining his composure, he immediately looked at Li Xuanjing and asked, "You knew about this all along, didn't you?"

Li Xuanjing nodded.

King Chun exclaimed angrily, "If you knew, why didn't you tell me? You've caused me needless worry. Do you know how concerned I was!"

Li Xuanjing gently patted his shoulder and said, "This matter is very complicated. It might not have been beneficial to inform Your Highness in advance. The Ministry of Justice has a lot to attend to. I'll head there first. After handling those matters, I will explain to Your Highness..."

King Chun could only wave him off, "Go, go..."

With so many arrests, the Ministry of Justice indeed had a lot to deal with. It was foreseeable that for many days to come, he probably would be so busy he couldn't even return home...

After Li Xuanjing left, King Chun approached Li Nuo and asked, "What exactly happened with the Eastern Palace case? Do you know?"

Li Nuo nodded.

He had conducted a thorough investigation and was intimately aware of the entire background of the case.

The Daxia Dynasty was one of the five strongest dynasties on the continent today.

Becoming Emperor of Daxia not only meant attaining supreme power but also unparalleled strength. Who wouldn't want to claim that position?

But with an established heir in the Eastern Palace, it was impossible for King Han or King You to covet that seat.

So, they joined forces with Lin Fuzhi, the Junior Chief Steward responsible for all affairs of the Eastern Palace, using threats and bribes among various means to win over some of the officials and female officials close to the Crown Prince.
