ome cases can be overturned, some can be overturned or not, and some cannot be overturned. As for the cases I want to overturn, they are the fourth kind, the ones that absolutely must be overturned."“...Chapter 1344: Are You Worthy of the People

This punch of his not only depleted his own courage but also completely humiliated Hé Lóng's dignity.

Li Chen remained silent, his eyes growing colder.

And Li Chen remained silent, while Xiaozi became even more aggressive.

He raised his sword and with one stroke, he severed the general's head.

The general covered his neck, blood seeping from the impossibly thin wound, taking his life.

His eyes widened, and with a loud thud, he collapsed to the ground. Even in his final moments, he couldn't believe it. The prince truly dared! This eunuch right before him, truly dared!

Having killed two people in succession, Xiaogzi panted heavily. At this moment, Li Chen's orders still hadn't arrived.

Without Li Chen's order, he would kill the next person.

Two died consecutively, the third one this time was truly terrified.

He no longer cared about anything else. The world was vast, but his own life and safety were the most important things. He dismounted and backed away while shouting, "Everyone, attention!"

Splish splash!

Just as nervously, the soldiers reflexively stamped their feet, bent over, and raised their weapons, aiming them at Xiaogzi.

Just because Xiaogzi was standing not far behind Li Chen, this scene looked like they were pointing their weapons at him.

Hundreds of soldiers were present at the scene, all elite troops.

Once a conflict erupts, it becomes an uncontrollable mutiny.

He Long was terrified.

He only wanted to give the prince a warning, essentially wanting to preserve everything in Gansu and Shaanxi as it was. However, he never imagined that things would escalate so rapidly in such a short time.

Just as the soldiers raised their weapons toward Li Chen, all the Jinyiwei surrounding him simultaneously drew their blades.

Although there was a disparity in numbers, the atmosphere between the two sides was vastly different.

Although the number of soldiers was large, each one was like a frightened bird, trembling with fear.

Although the Jinyiwei were few in number, each one was a top-tier expert, with unwavering eyes and an imposing presence.

At this critical juncture, Li Chen finally spoke.

You are wearing the armor of the Qin Empire, wielding weapons forged by the imperial court. You receive your monthly wages from this palace, and thanks to your service, your wives, children, and elderly parents enjoy the benefits provided by this palace, with a reduction in taxes for two household members.

"And now you, wielding the weapons I gave you, turn them against me"

Li Chen's voice gradually rose, like waves pushing over each other one after another, until finally it gathered momentum like a gathering storm, powerful and overwhelming, like thunderous roars and crashing waves, like a celestial river flowing in reverse.

"Do you live up to the identity of a soldier in the great Qin Empire Do you live up to the court and the people!"

A sharp shout, like thunder erupting from the ground.

Some psychologically unfit soldiers were so terrified that they dropped their weapons on the spot.

In feudal times, the idea that "the Mandate of Heaven" bestowed power upon emperors and the royal family was deeply entrenched.

This is also something that countless emperors throughout the dynasties in Chinese history, for thousands of years, have tacitly done: strengthening imperial authority and instilling the impression that the emperor is equal to heaven into the soul of every Chinese citizen.

Li Chen wasn't Emperor yet, but he was the Crown Prince Regent. While the Emperor was incapacitated, he represented the supreme imperial authority of the Qin Empire!

Those soldiers, to put it plainly, were all ordinary people. Who would dare to rebel for real

Once morale was broken, they were like loose sand, no longer a threat.

At this moment, Li Chen's gaze fell on He Long, his eyes as sharp as lightning.u want to intimidate them, making them afraid to retaliate recklessly against you. So after you take office, the first thing you need to do is achieve something.""Let the Lotus Sect know that you're a...
