"The King of Ke can also be powerful."

The simple emperor's heart is not that of a fool who stays locked inside his home every day and has no idea what is happening in the world.

He immediately retorted, "For example, King Wen and King Ning. King Wen's territory was Jinling, the wealthiest place in the world. As for King Ning, he lived far away in the northwest frontier. Although poor, his people were brave, united, and hostile to outsiders. My White Lotus sect's teachings are simply not suited to these two places."

"That's right."

Li Chen not only did not refute, but also affirmed Jian Di Xin's words.

“You, the White Lotus Sect, are most skilled at beguiling hearts. If there were a prosperous and peaceful world, your sect would naturally have no opportunity for growth. But if a year of disaster or chaos arrives, with the people suffering greatly, that is the perfect soil to nurture your expansion. Take the past two years of natural disasters as an example - how many times did you grow in strength”

The Emperor sighed and said, "Since this is the case, Your Highness should know that developing in the fiefdom of a vassal king would be detrimental to the White Lotus Sect."

"Could it get any worse than rebelling under the noses of the imperial court"

Li Chen asked: "For hundreds of years, you Bai Lian Jiao have been doing this. It's impressive that you collude with vassal kings and cause trouble for the imperial court together, but why do you always fail"

> One hundred and twenty years ago, during the reign of Emperor Tianqi, there was a shortage of grain at border crossings, followed by a once-in-fifty-years drought. A widespread epidemic ravaged the entire country. Emperor Tianqi, who had just ascended to the throne at the tender age of thirteen, faced these hardships. Taking advantage of the chaos, the White Lotus Sect grew rapidly, with millions of supporters responding across various regions. They raised their flags in Dongshan and revolted, even gaining the support of two vassal kings. At its peak, they controlled one-third of the country's territory, boasting an army of 800,000.

"And what about the court at that time It was beset by troubles both internal and external. It had to deal with enemy invaders, relieve famine and save the people, and quell your rebellion. Emperor Tianqi was so frightened that he fell ill."

"Even so, you still failed. Have you analyzed why"

Jian Di listened, listening, and felt that the style was a little off.

How could Li Chen, as the crown prince of the Qin Empire, even summarize their experiences and lessons learned for them

"But no matter what, I, Emperor Jian, must still grit my teeth and answer. Anyone who knows even a little about our dynasty's history knows that when my teachings were about to clash with the Imperial Court in the Jingzhou region, those two princes interfered, leading to a disastrous defeat."

Li Chen let out a light laugh, but before it even died down, he slammed his fist on the table with a resounding thud.

"Wrong!"

A stern reprimand made Jian Di lift his eyes to meet Li Chen's gaze.

It wasn't the prince causing trouble, it was you guys who shouldn't have trusted him in the first place. Think about it, what is a prince A member of the royal family!

"They have been using you all along, but when you are truly about to succeed, they absolutely cannot tolerate the White Lotus taking over the world. Because you are fighting against the Qin Dynasty's territory, and the Qin Dynasty's territory is the foundation of their power."

"Therefore, with your schemes of colluding with the princes under the noses of the imperial court, you will never succeed in rebelling against Qin."

Li Chen stood up, walked around the imperial desk, and came before Jian Di Xin.

Seeing Li Chen standing three steps in front of him, Emperor Jian narrowed his eyes.

Couldn't he see that at this distance, he could easily kill him with one blow

Even if that old bald donkey were here, Emperor Jian would still be confident in completing this feat.

The only difference is whether or not you can walk away unscathed.

But despite thinking so, a spark of killing intent towards Li Chen had already vanished from Jian Di's heart.
