Chapter 689
The power of the Emperor reaches far and wide, yet is also limited in close confines. However, Li Letian's power currently cannot extend far and wide. In the face of a divided Empire, his control only extends to the region of Jingzhou at most, and even this is in name only.
As for his close confines, Li Letian has little power. Countless eyes have been planted within his inner circle, watching his every move. He doesn't even have a single advisor by his side to discuss matters with.
