Appoint the King of Wu
"Kill you?"
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I wouldn't go so far as to kill you. However... the throne may no longer be yours to choose."
Long Chen returned the Qinggang sword to its sheath.
Killing Liu Xie was indeed an unwise decision.
He had no intention of repeating Dong Zhuo's mistakes.
Killing an emperor would undoubtedly have significant repercussions.
It's important to understand that the major clans and noble families of the realm still respected the Han dynasty.
If he were to kill Emperor Xian of Han, it's likely that no strategists or generals would ever come to serve him in the future.
A temporary satisfaction is different from lasting satisfaction.
Long Chen was well aware of this.
At the very least, he needed to fully extract Emperor Xian's value and wait until the world was under his control before considering any drastic action.
Of course, Long Chen was not a cold-blooded killer; he could simply lock Liu Xie deep within the palace later on.
