Chapter 279

Soon, Dong Zhuo and his party arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace.

"In a while, Fengxian will go to court with me. Hua Xiong, you guys control the Imperial Palace well. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!!!"

"Son-in-law, you take people to watch the young emperor, and arrange people to control Chen Liu Wang's side. Remember, there must not be a single mistake." Dong Zhuo ordered everyone solemnly.

"Yes!!!" Everyone hurriedly replied.

In the Imperial Palace Grand Hall, Liu Bian sat on the Dragon Bed, a thick coldness revealed between his brows. His gaze lifted slightly, and what appeared in his eyes were the dragon robe and imperial crown that represented the identity of an emperor.

"Dragon robe, imperial crown!" Liu Bian stared tightly, his gaze filled with fiery heat.

"Today I have wronged you, but after today, you will be the most noble existence in this sky. Moreover, after today, I will no longer use 'I' to refer to myself, but 'Zhen' (the imperial 'I')!!! The humiliation of the past will disappear completely from now on."

Liu Bian stared at the dragon robe and imperial crown, thinking heroically in his heart.

"Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, you guys should be here by now!"

After putting on the dragon robe and imperial crown, Liu Bian sat quietly on the Dragon Throne, his gaze sharply staring at the gate, waiting for Li Ru's arrival.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the tightly closed palace gate was kicked open. Li Ru, with a gloomy face, led several Xiliang Army soldiers filled with murderous intent into the Grand Hall and came towards Liu Bian.

"Eh! What's going on? Is this still that useless emperor?"

Li Ru saw Liu Bian's attire and then looked at the aura on Liu Bian's body. How could this be the aura a useless emperor should have?

In an instant, Li Ru felt the majesty on Liu Bian's body. This kind of aura, even on Dong Zhuo, he had never felt before. This kind of impact on the soul was too strong, making Li Ru feel like kowtowing and kneeling. The coldness in his heart rushed straight to his forehead, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"This, how is this possible? In just three days, how could this useless person change so much!"

For a long time, Li Ru hadn't recovered from the surprise brought by Liu Bian. Compared to three days ago, no matter how you looked at it, these were two different people, like heaven and earth. In just three days, he couldn't understand how there could be such a big change.

If Liu Bian could hear Li Ru's inner thoughts, he would definitely say to him:

"Lord Li, you don't understand the world of a 'cheater'. You can't grasp this kind of person!!!"

"Lord, Prime Minister is still waiting for us at the court meeting hall." A Xiliang Army soldier whispered in Li Ru's ear.

Hearing the soldier's words, Li Ru shuddered and suddenly recovered, his gaze at Liu Bian icy cold.

"This damn thing, even when death is imminent, dares to dress like this, actually making me lose so much face!"

The angry Li Ru wanted to take action immediately, but thinking of Dong Zhuo's plan to replace the Han, the anger in his heart melted like summer fire meeting cold ice:

"Forget it, let this guy live a little longer first. I don't think he can live past today. After abdicating the throne, I'll kill him!"

"Liu Bian, let's go, it's time to go to court. Don't think about playing tricks, otherwise, you will die very miserably!"

Li Ru warned Liu Bian with no respect and a face full of mockery.

Liu Bian stood up and glanced at Li Ru faintly, his expression unchanged:

"This old boy can really endure. I thought this guy couldn't help but take action. If you dared to take action just now, I would destroy you right now. Forget it, let you, this dog thing, live a little longer!"

Although both of them performed very well on the surface, they had already labeled each other as "must-die" in their hearts.

Slowly standing up, Liu Bian clasped his hands together, his whole body exuding rich imperial might. With his current body, he didn't need to actively release his aura; he possessed a heaven-defying constitution.

Coupled with the changes brought about by cultivation, it was simply not something these mortals could bear. This was still the result of his efforts to restrain it. If he actively released it, there really would be no one in this world who could resist it.

Even Lü Bu couldn't; the gap was simply too large.

Liu Bian slowly walked out of the Grand Hall. Several Xiliang Army soldiers slowly recovered after watching Liu Bian's departing back.

Several people subconsciously rubbed their eyes and looked at each other, seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

This, is this still the useless emperor they saw before? In the past, when this useless emperor saw them, he was always trembling and submissive. Compared to now, it was simply like two different people.

The current Liu Bian, in the eyes of several people, was like an emperor of the nine heavens, impossible to look at directly.

"Bastard, this useless person, how could he have such an aura? Could it be, could it be that some change really happened? But, how is this possible? No one has entered in these three days, and he couldn't have gone out. What exactly is going on?"

Li Ru looked at Liu Bian's departing back, his face black, staring at Liu Bian, wanting to see what went wrong, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see anything, and he had no clue at all.

But that's right, Li Ru was just a mortal. If Liu Bian didn't say it, how would he know that there was such an awesome existence as a system in this world?

After walking out of the palace gate, it was also Liu Bian's first time seeing the situation outside the Grand Hall after traveling through time.

What came into view were orderly palace halls, the architecture tall and majestic, the aura magnificent, all highlighting the nobility and majesty of the ancient imperial power.

On the left and right sides outside the hall stood fully armed Xiliang Army soldiers, and the passing palace maids and eunuchs were in a hurry, all showing the tense atmosphere of the Imperial Palace.

"See Lord Li, see... see Your Majesty."

As Liu Bian walked past, the eunuchs and palace maids along the way also saluted one after another.

However, what made Liu Bian feel aggrieved was that these people first saluted Li Ru, that thief, instead of him, the emperor.

It can be seen how cowardly this emperor is. I estimate that the common people outside now only know about local warlords and no longer care about the Great Han.

If it weren't for obtaining the system, I estimate that the Great Han's four-hundred-year foundation would be the same as history. But fortunately, I obtained the system. After today, everything will change.

Liu Bian's thoughts turned a hundred times, and before long, he arrived at the court meeting hall, and at this moment, the officials had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

"Hurry in, Prime Minister has been waiting for a long time. Remember not to have any thoughts you shouldn't have, otherwise, no one can protect you!"

Li Ru turned his head and scolded Liu Bian, then turned and walked into the hall.

"Sigh! Everyone look, it's that thief Li Ru. He's leading His Majesty here."

"Our Han family is almost finished. Previous Emperor, ancestors of the Great Han, open your eyes and look. Our Great Han is almost finished, the old minister is helpless..."

"Sigh, it is the misfortune of our Great Han Empire. First there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, then the eunuchs and maternal relatives interfered in politics and seized power, and now there is this thief Dong Zhuo running rampant. Sigh..."

When Liu Bian's figure appeared outside the Grand Hall, most of the officials shook their heads and sighed, and there was anger towards Dong Zhuo and other Xiliang Army soldiers.

Don't look at the fact that the Great Han is almost finished, but most of the ministers are still loyal to the Han family. The influence left by the Great Han for four hundred years still exists.

However, they dared not expose any kind of emotion, because once they exposed it, what would greet them would be the butcher knives of Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang Army, not just for themselves, but also for themselves and their families.

After all, if they fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang Army, it would be difficult to even die. For the sake of their lives, they had no choice.

At the very least, forbearance could preserve the family, just that the days ahead would be difficult. But if they resisted, there would only be a dead end. They still understood this truth.
