These two were the only ways to prevent Li Kedi from using his laws. The first was to convince Li Kedi and the second was to threaten him.

Both are difficult to achieve.

They all knew how resolute Li Kedi's mind was. It was extremely difficult to convince him to give up.

To be able to threaten an emperor, what kind of strength did he have to achieve in order to threaten an emperor? To threaten an emperor, he had to change his mind and give up on the edict he was executing.

Knowing the problem he was about to face, Ding Renlun let out a long sigh of relief. The hesitation in his eyes was no longer there. His eyes were now filled with the determination to die and the indifference to life and death.

After a long sigh of relief, Ding Renlun's eyes were sharp as he asked indifferently, "Your Highness, have you ever thought about why the previous emperors, despite knowing that the vassal lords were allowed to do whatever they pleased in their feudal fiefdom, still didn't practice margravine chopping?"

"I don't know." Li Kedi answered truthfully and took advantage of this opportunity to ask Ding Renlang, "Could it be that you know about it?"

"This subject naturally knows. Otherwise, why would I say such a thing?" Ding Renlun nodded and exchanged a cold glance with Li Kedi. Without the slightest fear, he continued, "Then let this old man tell His Highness some stories."

Li Kedi disdainfully smiled and coldly said, "Old Mr. Ding, do you still think I'm a child? Do you really need me to tell you a story?"

"It's fine if Your Majesty doesn't want to hear this story, it's fine if you want to hear it. In the end, you have to say it." Ding Renlun gently removed the jade crown on his head and muttered, "These are the facts after all. Sooner or later, it will be made public."

"Mr. Ding, what is this?" Li Kedi did not understand and shouted.

What was he planning to do, take his jade crown off of the Great Hall? Forced by death?

Ding Renlun scratched his head and brushed his neatly combed hair. He looked at Li Kedi with his disheveled hair as he slowly said, "When I finish this story, it will be time for me to leave."

"Before Emperor Taizu started his business, he discovered that the most important problem of the Great Wei was not internal troubles but external problems. So he dispersed the military power and asked his brothers to help him suppress the external problems. This is also the beginning of the various vassal lords' businesses. " Ding Renlun's voice was heavy and did not carry a single trace of emotion. He repeated the same question over and over again with the attitude of an outsider facing the imperial court.

"We all know this. Why are you saying this?" Li Kedi could feel that something was not right from Ding RenLun's words. However, since Ding Renlong did not reveal his fangs, Li Kedi could not rush to act.

"Of course, these were all for the Great Wei. The vassal lords were also very diligent. When Emperor Taizu was conquering the world, the vassal lords were also doing their utmost to surround the border of the Great Wei. The king of Shu was in charge, the king of Liang, the king of You was in charge, the king of You was in charge." Ding Renlun's voice was very high and was filled with his reverence towards these vassal lords.

"These, I know!" Li Kedi let out a long sigh and coldly replied.

"Since you know, why did you use these decrees to weaken the vassal lords? None of them came from Great Wei Empire! " Ding Renlun continued, constantly attacking Li Kedi.

"We all know this. I didn't say I wouldn't make them the vassal lords. I'm only consolidating the Great Wei's strength." Li Kedi shook his head. He could not be moved by such logic. It was impossible for him to change his mind. If Ding Renlun could not come up with a good excuse, then he would immediately implement his decree.

"But the stronger these vassal lords are, the better for the Great Wei!" Ding Renlun looked at Li Kedi and continued.

Li Kedi heaved a long sigh and shook his head. He slowly got down from the chair and walked in front of Ding Renlun, sighing deeply. Why did the Great Wei have such a genius?

Li Kedi's eyes turned cold as he said slowly, "Mr. Ding, do you think the strong Great Wei is better or the strong vassal lords are better?"

Sweat started pouring out of Ding Renlang's forehead. This question could directly take his life, making him fall into silence for a moment without being able to say anything.

Li Kedi snorted and raised his head to look at the officials and officials of the Great Wei. He asked in a clear voice, "Everyone, tell me, is it better for the Great Wei to be strong, or for the vassal lords to be strong?"

"Great Wei! Great!" Only a few people could say what was on their minds. The ministers in the Great Hall all maintained their silence, not daring to make a sound.

Li Kedi looked at these subjects with incomparable pain. A trace of despair rose in his heart as he shouted in his heart, "Are these really the Great Wei's subjects?"

The silent officials continued to remain silent, unwilling to answer.

This issue was crucial and difficult to decide.

Even an ordinary Great Wei person would know that it was better to choose Great Wei Qiang. However, these ministers who represented the vassal lords were unable to come up with such an answer.

Because the people behind them were the vassal lords, they represented the interests of the vassal lords. So even if they knew the choice, they wouldn't be able to make these choices. They could only listen to this question and remain silent!

Ding Renlun was silent for a long time before he looked at Li Kedi and slowly said, "The vassal lord is the Great Wei. Why should we divide it between the Great Wei and the vassal lords?"

After hearing this answer, a few officials who didn't know what to say immediately agreed. However, some ministers still maintained their silence. Sometimes, they would just reply even if they didn't answer.

"That vassal lord is the Great Wei. Then why don't you agree to let them return some of their power to the Great Wei?" Li Kedi looked coldly at Ding Renlun. He exuded the aura of an emperor. Lowering his voice, he continued speaking to the crowd.

Li Kedi's words rendered many ministers speechless. They opened their mouths to speak, but no words came out.

"Your Highness!" Ding Renlun shouted.

Li Kedi turned around to look at Ding Renlang and smiled, "Old Mr. Ding, what's wrong? Is there anything else you want to say? "

Ding Renlun also knew that this step was a dead end, but for the purpose of Prince Liang behind him, he still resolutely said, "Your Highness, when the time comes, don't blame the Prince for doing unfavorable things!"

This was his final move, a threat!

Using threats to warn Li Kedi, if he really dares to defy the vassal lords, the Liangliang King also dares to let the Tarantula into the Great Wei, and fight to the death with Li Kedi!

Li Kedi's face turned extremely ugly. He understood the meaning behind Ding Renlun's words. He turned his back and walked step by step onto the stairs leading to the golden chair. Step by step, he walked very slowly.

Carrying Ding Renlun on his back, he calmly said, "If there really is that moment, I will bring Great Wei's son to annihilate all the Tarantula that had broken through the Liang King!"

With that, he took another step up the stairs.

He wanted to be an emperor. If he wanted to stabilize the Great Wei Emperor, he had to use his life to create a ladder!

He had already made up his mind. Whoever blocked him would be the corpse beneath his feet!
