A thin, sealed letter, not very long.

There is no lengthy treatise by Yelü Shenxuan inside.

The whole passage only tells one story.

When the former emperor, Emperor Tianyuan, sensed his time was drawing near, the princes in court each had their own strengths and weaknesses. Every prince also had his shortcomings and disadvantages. Apart from Emperor Tianyuan having established his eldest son as crown prince in his early years, for many years the position of crown prince in the Great Qin Empire remained undecided. This issue became more urgent than anything else when Emperor Tianyuan felt his end was near.

After much deliberation and numerous rounds of negotiations, the Heavenly Sovereign Emperor finally wrote a decree before his death, stating that he would pass on the throne to his tenth son, Li Zaichou.

that is the current King Ning.

But in the end, it was the seventh prince of that year who ascended the throne, who is now the current Great Emperor.

There is no doubt that the edict of succession that ultimately emerged was a forgery.

But the real imperial decree was tampered with.

This was just a story, but Yelü Shenxuan made it very clear that the original imperial edict was hidden in Wenwang's possession.

King Ning did not doubt the truthfulness of this message.

First of all, the matter at hand was of paramount importance. It would be utterly illogical and unreasonable for Yelü Shenxuan to deceive himself about something so significant.

Secondly, this document details several points that could only have been written by someone who knew the truth at the time. Several of these points align with the inconsistencies Ning Wang remembers about the succession, instantly solving a mystery that has plagued him for years.

Upon seeing the confidential letter, the Prince of Ning believed everything it contained immediately.

As soon as he thought about how the throne was originally his, and that Emperor Daxing had stolen his rightful position for so many years, King Ning's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. He hated it so much, he was almost driven mad.

Anger and hatred, like a wildfire on the prairie, instantly consumed King Ning's reason.

Now, he had only one thought in mind: even if it cost him his life, he would make the Great Emperor pay for what he had done!

"He who steals a hook is put to death, he who steals a country becomes a marquis..."

"No wonder you had me change my name from Li Zaichou to Li Zaidao after you ascended the throne. Could it be that even you feel uneasy inside, remembering every night lying on the dragon bed how your imperial decree originally named me!"

King Ning suddenly raised his eyes, blood-red gaze fixed on the top of the tent, roaring and snarling: "You stole my country! This feud, I will never share heaven with you, never!"

The roar from within the tent drew in the guards outside to investigate.

They were startled to see even the usually furious King Ning, whose eyes were bloodshot with rage, looking so enraged.

"Your Highness... Do you have any orders" the guard inquired.

King Ning panted heavily, his rage bubbling over. He wished he could issue an immediate order for a full-scale attack on Li Chen. He wanted to crush Li Chen and then march from Gansu and Shaanxi all the way to the capital. He was confident that with this advantage, no one in all of Qin could stop him, not even as far as the capital's outskirts.

Having learned the word "endurance" for a lifetime, with decades of effort, Prince Ning almost lost his composure.

All his life he has strived for grand ambitions and hegemony, the coveted dragon throne in the capital city.

But all along, King Ning was always aware that he was usurping the throne. Since he wanted to usurp the throne, he had to endure what ordinary people could not bear. He had to wait until the dust settled and the grand game of the world reached its conclusion before he could act freely.

Now that he learned the high position was his all along, and that everything he had endured for decades with carefulness and forbearance, was all for reclaiming what rightfully belonged to him, finally, King Ning couldn't hold it in any longer.ndless wars is a reality, undeniable by anyone. As for you, you spout nonsense about state affairs. Anyone would think you were some high-ranking official."Bang.Li Chen slammed his teacup on the tabl...
