Chapter 2100 Difficult
Once the Emperor Daxing dies, it will have a huge impact on the situation across the country. This impact may even directly change the current confrontation between the court and the vassal kings. Li Chen has already thought about this very clearly on the way here.
As long as the Emperor Daxing still had a breath, his deterrence and influence on the entire empire would still be there, but once that breath was released, the vassal kings would have no scruples.
This is also one of the biggest reasons why Li Chen took the risk of leaving Beijing and insisted on fighting against Liao.
Li Chen needed a force that was enough to intimidate the vassal kings, and had a huge deterrent force that would not dare to act rashly even after the death of the Emperor Daxing.
And this is not enough.
So Li Chen thought it very clearly that once the Emperor Daxing passed away, it is necessary to not have a funeral secret.
At least, at least, you have to wait until he has enough power to steadily suppress those vassal kings and even reduce them.
King Wen is the first to bear the brunt.
But in this world, the fire cannot be kept in paper, let alone the death of the emperor.
Even if you don't have a secret funeral, it's impossible to hide it for too long.
Not to mention anything else, how to preserve the body of Emperor Daxing?
It’s okay to be cold in winter now. Once spring is warm and flowers bloom, the body cannot be preserved normally without summer.
Even if you use some methods, it will be up to three months.
In other words, within three months, Li Chen must deal with King Wen, and even most of the vassal kings.
At that time, the news of the death of the Emperor Daxing can no longer be concealed, so it can only be made public to the world. Then Li Chen must ascend the throne in the shortest time, complete the alternation of imperial power, and hold the imperial power tightly in his hands, so as to minimize the ambition of coveted people.
It is almost impossible to solve King Wen within three months.
As early as when Emperor Daxing was still fighting for power and profit, King Wen had already shown his cunning and means beyond ordinary people. His ability to obtain Jinling, the richest land in the world, as a fief, was a manifestation of his ability.
Such a person has been operating in the most prosperous place in the world for more than 20 years, and you can imagine how deeply rooted his foundation is.
Including the case of borrowing money houses and the use of Jinyiwei to do a series of things in Jiangnan as a test, Li Chen could somewhat feel that King Wen managed the entire Jiangnan like an iron barrel.
To put it bluntly, if Jiangsu and Zhejiang compare the economy, it is enough to compare all other provinces in the country. If it compares the comprehensive strength, it is half the number.
In other words, if King Wen ignored it and directly declared independence in Jinling and established another court... Daqin had no choice but to do anything to him.
The death of Emperor Daxing made Li Chen lose the greatest and last reliance in all his helplessness.
It could have been arranged slowly and slowly to draw it, but now Li Chen has only three months left.
Otherwise, once the incident is revealed, Li Chen will lose the initiative and fall into a greater passiveness.
The mind is complicated and complicated, and countless speculations and countless solutions emerge for the subsequent situation, but different responses to each detail will lead to more different endings and directions.
At this moment, Li Chen truly felt what it means to be a mess, and it is still messy.
