Chapter 658: The impulse to die for one who knows you! (Please subscribe)
Hearing Li Chen's words, Xie Ergai's eyes lit up; he understood his Master's intention!
This was to use his father's "injustice" to completely ignite the anger of those old subordinates loyal to Andrei Dagong Andrei!
The interests of those generals and officials had long been tied to Andrei Dagong Andrei. Once Andrei fell, they wouldn't have a good ending either.
For the sake of self-preservation, and also for the sake of righteous indignation in their hearts, they were very likely to choose to stand on his side!
Then his position would be even more consolidated.
As for whether the truth was as his Master said, that was no longer important; what he wanted was a reason, a reason that would allow him to be justified.
But Xie Ergai still had one last concern: "Master, although this plan is clever, what if Emperor Ivan is angered by shame and directly sends a large army to suppress us? Our current strength is likely unable to contend with the elite of the Empire!"
Andrei Dagong Andrei had many trump cards, but to openly defy the Da Luo Emperor—what would be the outcome of that?
The Da Luo Dynasty had stood for thousands of years, and its foundation was very deep.
Li Chen turned around, his gaze seeming to pierce through the human heart. He smiled lightly and threw out a temptation that could make Xie Ergai completely crazy: "Send troops? Heh, have you forgotten that I am an old acquaintance with the Tian Ce Emperor? At the critical moment, I will naturally ask him to 'help' us."
This sentence made Xie Ergai feel a bit more at ease, but there was some unease and doubt—asking the Tian Ce Emperor for help, the price would be too high, right?
Li Chen took a step closer, his voice carrying a demonic power of bewitchment, and asked in a low voice: "Xie Ergai, my disciple, do you want to be the Emperor of this Da Luo Dynasty?"
"Em-Emperor?!" Xie Ergai's breathing instantly became heavy, his eyes widened, and his heart beat wildly, as if it were about to rush out of his chest.
He was originally an ambitious person; before, he might have only thought about inheriting his father's power, but now a supreme throne seemed within reach!
The huge temptation was like the strongest wine, instantly crushing all his hesitation and fear.
"I want to! Master! I want to!" Xie Ergai's voice trembled with excitement, his face flushed with excitement.
"Then go!" Li Chen patted him on the shoulder. "Use your anger to ignite the anger of your father's old subordinates! Let them know that by following you, they can not only keep their wealth and glory but in the future even possess the entire dynasty! Leave Tian Ce to me."
"Yes! Master!" Xie Ergai was like he had been injected with chicken blood, immediately turning around and striding out of the council hall.
He trusted Li Chen completely; whatever Li Chen told him to do, he would do.
Because he knew his Master was an omnipotent existence.
And there was no need for his Master to lie to him; there was no benefit in that.
In other words, if he became Emperor, wouldn't his Master be the Imperial Preceptor?
Xie Ergai quickly summoned all the important generals and officials in the territory.
Standing in front of everyone, Xie Ergai swept away his previous panic. His face was sorrowful and indignant, his eyes red.
He used the words Li Chen taught him, speaking with a highly inflammatory tone, denouncing Emperor Ivan's perfidy and stinginess, and telling of the innocence and injustice of his father, Andrei Dagong Andrei. ===== CHAPTER 659 =====
