Chapter 993 The Minister Who Was Seized of Power

The little emperor waved his hand gently, signaling Minister Ernest standing in front of him to step back.

"I have already decided."

The little emperor's voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying a hint of unquestionable majesty.

"From today on, Li Si will become another minister of the empire and will assist me in governing the country with you."

A look of surprise flashed across Minister Ernest's face, followed by viciousness.

He knew in his heart that this decision meant that his power in the empire would be weakened, and his many years of management and layout would be seriously challenged.

But he also knew that at this moment he was powerless and could only accept this fact silently.

He took a deep look at the little emperor, then turned and left.

Although his steps were steady, his heart was full of unwillingness and anger.

He knew that this young man was no longer the puppet who was at the mercy of others. He had grown into a thoughtful and independent emperor.

There is still a question in Minister Ernest's mind, that is, what force drove this young man to become so decisive and determined?

He suspected that the man named "Li Si" was controlling everything behind the scenes.

After all, this wise man from afar has been by the little emperor's side since he appeared, advising him.

Minister Ernest was walking on the corridor of the palace with many thoughts in his mind.

He knew that this Li Si would become his biggest enemy in the future. He must deal with it carefully and not allow this enemy to take advantage of him.

However, he also knew that he did not have many means at his disposal.

General Bude, the strongest guardian of the empire, has been silently guarding the palace and the emperor.

As long as he is around, Minister Ernest cannot easily deal with the little emperor and Li Si.

He has various plans in mind, but each one seems to have insurmountable obstacles.

Even if he can use his own Teigu to abolish General Bude's Teigu, and then let the four Rakshasa ghosts join forces to kill General Bude who has lost his Teigu, and regain control of the little emperor.

However, he also knew that now was not the time.

Noxus, a powerful enemy country, has been watching the empire with eager eyes. If civil strife breaks out at this time, it will only put the empire into an even more dangerous situation.

Minister Ernest's heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

He knew he had to stay calm and rational and not make any impulsive decisions. He must wait for the opportunity and find a suitable moment to defeat the enemies of the little emperor and Li Si in one fell swoop.

At the same time, after Minister Ernest left, the little emperor suddenly looked at Li Si with a smile on his face.

He asked excitedly: "Mr. Lis, how did I do?"

Li Si looked at the little emperor with a smile, nodded and said, "Very good, Your Majesty. You have successfully demonstrated your majesty and determination, allowing everyone to see your growth and changes."

The little emperor became even more proud after hearing Li Si's words.

He knew that he was no longer the puppet at the mercy of others, but a real emperor.

He looked at Li Si gratefully and said, "Mr. Li Si, all this is thanks to you. If you hadn't been by my side to help me and guide me, I wouldn't have become so strong."

Li Si smiled and shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, thank you. I just did what I should do. Moreover, all of this was achieved by your own efforts and talents."

After hearing Li Si's words, the little emperor felt even more grateful.

He knew that Li Si was a truly intelligent and talented man who could help him become a better emperor.

He decided to trust and rely on Li Si more, and work together for the prosperity and stability of the empire.

He glanced at Li Si gratefully, and then continued: "Then what should we do next?"

Li Si thought for a moment, and then replied: "Your Majesty, I think we should first consolidate our internal strength. We need to strengthen the defense of the palace to ensure the safety of the emperor. At the same time, we also need to rectify the imperial court and eliminate those who are detrimental to the empire."

The little emperor nodded in agreement.

These measures are necessary.

Only with internal stability can the power and majesty of the empire be demonstrated to the outside world.

Controlling the little emperor is easier than imagined. As a reincarnation born in the Celestial Dynasty, the power struggle is simply engraved in his bones. Of course, most people die without knowing what happened.

However, the power struggles in this world were so low-level that Li Si didn't even have to put in much effort to gain the trust of the little emperor. He even didn't even use the "Charm Humanity" magic he had prepared.

Now that Minister Ernest has left the palace, the next step is to prevent him from approaching the palace again.

So Li Si told the little emperor that he should be on guard against Minister Ernest.

So the little emperor summoned General Bude.

"General Bude."

The little emperor looked at General Bude.

"His Majesty!"

General Bude immediately saluted respectfully.

He is the supreme commander of the imperial army who is deeply trusted by the emperor. Besides Esdeath, he is the other "strongest" person in the empire and commands the palace guards.

He is upright and old-fashioned, serving the empire wholeheartedly, and is not polite to the ministers at all. He is called "old stubborn" by Esdeath and the ministers (Leone also calls him the same name).

Originally, following the ancestral precepts, he believed that military generals should not interfere in politics. Therefore, although he knew about the corruption of ministers and others, he did not intervene, but used his authority to protect the officials of the conscientious faction.

Seeing the young emperor expel Minister Ernest with his own eyes, General Bud was very surprised and relieved.

"General, from today on, the number of guards in the palace will increase and patrol. Without my permission, Minister Ernest is not allowed to enter the palace!"

The young emperor said to General Bud.

"Yes!"

General Bud agreed without saying a word. He didn't like Minister Ernest in the first place. Now that he got the order from the young emperor, General Bud would not let Minister Ernest enter the palace.

This eliminated the possibility of Minister Ernest regaining control of the young emperor.

"General Bud, you should pay attention. Minister Ernest has the imperial weapon - [Ileston], which is an anti-imperial weapon that can destroy the enemy's imperial weapon. It takes a week to recover each time it is used, and then it is used again. Your imperial weapon is also within the destruction range."

Li Si reminded.

As a reincarnation, it is impossible for him to miss such important information.

"Ireston?"

General Bud knew about this imperial weapon.
