Chapter 700: A grand event in the name of

Watching his harem concubines being enjoyed by the Wu Ancestor again and again, the anger and humiliation in Ivan's heart burned his internal organs like poison flames.

He had long secretly collected a large amount of solid evidence of the Wu Ancestor "disrupting the harem," which didn't need to be fabricated at all.

He was just waiting for a suitable opportunity to make these evidences public, tear off the Wu Ancestor's "transcendent" mask, and make him lose his reputation!

However, whenever he couldn't hold back and wanted to take action, the ancestor Romanov would always appear at the right time and persuade him in an unquestionable tone:

"Small intolerance leads to chaos in big plans! Now that the May Tian Ce army's offensive is fierce, the front-line soldiers can barely support it only with the help of the wizards under the Wu Ancestor,

if we move against the Wu Ancestor at this time, it is no different from destroying our own Great Wall! Once those Northern wizards rebel, the consequences will be unimaginable! We still need to rely on the Wu Ancestor's influence!"

Ivan was so angry he almost spat blood, and whispered to Romanov: "Need to rely on? Then how long do we need to rely on? If the May Tian Ce army doesn't stop fighting for a year, we have to endure for a year, watching that Wu bandit make trouble in my palace for a year?

What if they don't stop fighting for ten years? Do I have to endure for ten years and let him treat my palace as his traveling palace?"

Romanov just repeated "overall situation is important" with a blank face, making Ivan feel aggrieved and powerless.

Just when Ivan was restless, another news that was even harder for him to accept came.

The white moonlight in the hearts of countless men in the Holy Capital, Anastasia, the silver-haired goddess he had spent so much effort to pursue, had been completely conquered by Li Chen!

As the saying goes, affection grows with time; Anastasia accompanied Li Chen day and night, her body and mind received unprecedented "nourishment" and impact, and she had long thrown Ivan to the back of her mind, and even the initial "task" thoughts had faded.

Now her heart and eyes were only on Li Chen, and she only wished to serve by his side for a lifetime.

She knew Li Chen's habits like the back of her hand; with a look or a movement, she knew what Li Chen needed and would cooperate gently and considerately.

Recalling the sensation Anastasia caused in the Holy Capital back then, how many noble youths were crazy about her, and he himself spent countless efforts to win the beauty's heart, but now she was easily picked by Li Chen.

Li Chen is actually a kind person; after all, Ivan is not here, and there is no one to manage the harem, so he moved into the imperial palace and must help take care of it.

Li Chen didn't even let Ivan thank him for this; after all, Li Chen doing these good deeds was also voluntary.

And Ma Te, under the pile of resources and occasional guidance from Li Chen, has a temperament much steadier than before, but there is still dependence between his brows.

These are also what Li Chen hopes for; after all, the more Ma Te needs him, the higher his status will be. As long as Ma Te sits firmly on the throne in the future, everything will be under Li Chen's control.

In Li Chen's spare time, he would find Li Chen to ask about some future development issues.

Today, Li Chen had just finished his work, and Ma Te came. He respectfully said to Li Chen: "Recently, according to your instructions, the disciple replaced some unimportant officials on the pretext, and also inserted our people into the positions. But those important ministers who hold key departments are all cunning, and they do things without any leaks, so I really can't find any reason to replace them. What should I do?"

Li Chen heard this, pondered for a moment, and thought of a way, saying indifferently: "What's difficult about this? You should just hold a grand banquet in the palace in the name of celebrating the 'Wu God's Heavenly Longevity' for three consecutive days. You are responsible for hosting the civil and military officials in the main hall, especially those important ministers, and must make them all present. As for their family members and female relatives, let the Empress Dowager host them in the side hall and entertain them on your behalf."

Ma Te's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Li Chen's intention, hurriedly taking out a list: "Master is wise! This is the list the disciple drafted, there are fifteen ministers in total, all of whom are powerful and stubborn, and are the ones the disciple needs to replace but has no strategy for." ===== CHAPTER 701 =====
