Sign In Buddha’s Palm

Chapter 126: Dark Golden Lines.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

“It turns out that I am already an Uncle…”

Su Qin looked at Emperor Li Sheng’s leaving back, somewhat dumbfounded.

Unknowingly, he has been in the Imperial Palace for five, six years already. In these five, six years, Su Qin watched Emperor Li Sheng change from a new and inexperienced Emperor to an authoritarian ruler.

Apart from this, Su Qin has Signed In, receiving numerous Heavenly materials, Earthly treasures, Pills and medicine.

“It’s a pity…”

“It’s still a little bit short from Peak 4th Heavenly Layer……”

Su Qin sighed softly.

“No hurry.”

“I still have more time, let’s take it easy.”

Su Qin didn’t continue dwelling on his eager thoughts and instead became calm.

For Su Qin, he only needs to Sign In to keep getting stronger, so what is there to worry about?

The Imperial Palace is not only safe, but no one disturbs him. For Su Qin, this is a holy place for Cultivation.

“In the past few years, most of my Sign Ins were at the Crop Altar.”

“In total, I have obtained at least a thousand of Blood Bodhi and drops of Innate Spirit Liquid each, plus other various treasures…”

“With my current rate of consumption, these are enough to last me for at least five years.”

“So I should probably Sign In to other places. For example, the White Jade Square. Who knows, I might get another Magic Power.”

Su Qin thought and made plans.

When he Sign Ins at the Crop Altar, 60% of the time he gets Innate Spirit Liquid, 30% of the time he will get Blood Bodhi, and 10% of the time he will get other things.

Also, the amount of Innate Spirit Liquid or Blood Bodhi obtained for each Sign In is different.

For example, Su Qin once received 20 drops of Innate Spirit Liquid in one go, and sometimes it’s only one drop.

The same is true for Blood Bodhi, Su Qin even got 12 Blood Bodhi one time.

…

At the same time.

In the Long Life Temple.

Emperor Li Sheng looked at the intelligence report in his hand with a rather gloomy expression.

“When the princes did not obey the Emperor’s orders, I endured it and let them go, but they secretly helped prevent me from issuing the government orders? What does this mean?!”

Emperor Li Sheng spoke his sentence out word by word.

“Your Majesty please calm down.”

“Your Majesty please calm down.”

The courtiers knelt on the ground and appeased loudly.

“Calm down?”

Emperor Li Sheng shook his head slightly, and his expression revealed a cold intent: “If I calm down and do nothing, then what is my authority? Is it much lower than those Kings that the princes are relying on?”

Emperor Li Sheng stood up, then began pacing back and forth.

The princes had banded together and were messing with his territory. Anyways, Emperor Li Sheng had long wanted to attack the princes.

“Say, what do you think if I cut off the Vassal Kings?”

Emperor Li Sheng glanced at the courtiers and said.

“Cutting off the Kings?”

The courtiers turned pale with fright.

Cutting ties with the Kings is not a joke.

The 10 Kings and the Empire are connected. Once any one of them are gone, it will affect the whole Empire. At that time, the 10 Kings will rebel together and the Empire will be caught in a continuous war.

“Your Majesty, you must be cautious about cutting ties…”

Some courtiers pleaded bitterly.

How could they not know the hidden dangers of the princes? But they shouldn’t cut ties with the Kings. The consequences are not a laughing matter.

Emperor Li Sheng sighed softly as he watched the reaction of the courtiers.

In fact, he can also understand the thoughts of the courtiers. With the Kings, the princes will still continue remaining on their own turf. But once they cut ties with the Kings, no one knows what the desperate princes would do?

“You guys can go.”

“I want to rest for a while.”

Emperor Li Sheng waved his hand, his eyes lowered, and he sat back on the Dragon Throne.

In the years since he’s been sitting in the throne, various government orders have been continuously implemented, which has greatly improved the Empire; but the more so, the hidden dangers of Kings have become more and more apparent.

If the Empire wants to go a step further and achieve true prosperity, it must first solve the problem of the Kings.

Each day such existences are left, it is equivalent to having a noose around the neck of the Empire.

“Understood Your Majesty.”

The courtiers looked at each other and left the Long Life Temple.

After all of the courtiers had left, Emperor Li Sheng grabbed a flask of wine and went to the East Palace.

“Third Brother, I am here again…”

Emperor Li Sheng carried the flask and found Su Qin.

Emperor Li Sheng did not drink alcohol in his life, because he felt that alcohol would affect his thoughts; but today because the matter relating to the Kings made him gloomy, he wanted to use alcohol to relieve his troubles.

“Third Brother, do you think I am making a mistake in trying to cut ties with the Kings?”

Emperor Li Sheng whispered.

If he compromises with the top 10 Kings, he can protect the Empire for a while, but what about afterwards?

The Kings will always remain as a threat to the Empire. In the future, the Kings will grow full pairs of wings and take the initiative to rebel. At that time, it would be the end for the Empire.

In this case, why not take the initiative instead of waiting for the Kings to rebel?

“It’s okay.”

Su Qin saw that Emperor Li Sheng was upset at a glance, and said: “Though you need to prepare for the consequences.”

“What I mean is, can the current Empire bear the backlash?”

Su Qin’s tone was simple but he directly pointed out the biggest problem in the Empire.

Does it have enough confidence to cut off the Kings?

Although the Empire had gradually began to prosper since Emperor Li Sheng ascended the throne and various decrees were implemented.

But current prosperity and complete prosperity are two different things.

“So Third Brother thinks that the current Empire is incapable of cutting off the Kings?” Emperor Li Sheng pondered for a while and asked.

“You are in a hurry.”

Su Qin shook his head slightly.

He has lived in the Imperial Palace for a long time. Although he is usually too lazy to take care of things, from Su Qin’s point of view, it will take at least ten years for the Empire to accumulate enough foundation before it is eligible to propose to cut off things with the Kings.

“I was in a hurry…”

Emperor Li Sheng was immersed in his thoughts. His forehead gradually overflowed with cold sweat.

“Many thanks for the teachings, Third Brother…”

Emperor Li Sheng then moved towards Su Qin and bowed, quickly realizing what he had overlooked.

He was indeed too anxious.

Governing a big country is like cooking food. It takes a step by step process. If you want to do it all in one step, not only will the food taste bad, it may also end up in a disaster.

“It’s okay.”

Su Qin replied.

He simply just mentioned a few words to Emperor Li Sheng. In the end, it still depends on Emperor Tang himself to grasp the situation.

“By the way, Third Brother.”

Emperor Li Sheng seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: “I went to the Treasury yesterday and found a strange thing. I can’t figure it out until now. I have invited many people to see it, but they too don’t know much…”

“Third Brother, you are experienced and knowledgeable, how about you take a look…?”

While talking, Emperor Li Sheng put down the wine flask and took out a wooden box from his sleeves.

This wooden box was extremely exquisite, with faint dark golden lines running across the surface. It was extremely out of the ordinary.

“Huh?”

Su Qin didn’t care much at first, but the moment he saw the wooden box, his expression changed. His eyes quickly focused on the dark golden lines on the surface of the wooden box.
