"Line by line, you Su Pingbei, who are you Even kings and princes have their kind. Let alone you, a man with some guts."

Su Jin spat and lifted her skirt as she walked towards her own courtyard, saying as she went, "Does it matter what I say Does it help if you just think that way yourself It's not enough for people outside to be afraid of you. Prestige is earned, not spoken into existence."

At this moment, in the study, Li Chen sat in the grand master's chair that originally belonged to Su Zhe Ting, and with a smile, he said to Su Zhe Ting who was seated in the guest seat: "You really do love your son dearly. But by not telling him the truth, he has no preparation whatsoever. When things get chaotic then, it will only cause more trouble."

Su Zhendong wryly smiled and said, “As expected, nothing can escape your eyes, Your Highness. I was just planning to handle some things for him. Although the Ministry of Personnel might seem all-powerful, over these years, the Su family has still cultivated some connections there.”

Waving his hand, Li Chen said: "Hold still for now. Your connections, if you use them now, will be completely wiped out. The Cabinet has already taken action today. According to the eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department, memorials from several high-ranking officials are piling up almost into mountains. Those officials either have shaky stances in key positions or are on Duan Jintang's side."

Su Zhenning frowned and said, "Are they so eager to get rid of dissidents"

"Not surprising."

Li Chen said calmly, "This internal strife within the cabinet has driven them to desperation. Zhao Xuanji may not want to, but he will be forced into this situation anyway. He himself may still be able to remain calm, but can those below him If he doesn't do something, things could boil over."

"This is the bad habit of the CCP, gathering a bunch of people to huddle together. While it's large and powerful, individual will can be shackled by collective will. How about Zhao Xuanji In his position, there are some things he can't do."

"My lord, will you do as they wish" Su Zhen'ting asked.

Of course.

Li Chen smiled and said, "A few officials who aren't good for anything anyway. Whether this palace agrees or not, they have ways to get rid of these people. In the end, the result is the same. Why bother making things unpleasant with them"

"Moreover, the tighter the pressure they apply, the more likely those moderates are to be pushed towards the Eastern Palace. As for Duan Jiangjiang's side, he's more likely to become desperate and resort to drastic measures."

"A rabbit, when cornered, will bite. What more can be said of an experienced state councilor like Duan Jinjiang His counterattack will surely give them a show."

Su ZhenTing understood and smiled, "Perhaps this is the reason why Zhao Xuanji was unwilling to take action. He was also forced by circumstances to make this choice."

Speaking of this, Su Zhenting clasped his hands and asked, "What about the Xishan Province"

Li Chen said: "Zhao He Shan should be able to sort out the government affairs after he goes. If there are problems, there's nothing we can do about it. Right now, this palace doesn't have anyone available. It depends on his own fortune and ability. As for the rebellion...this palace has already made arrangements."

About Zhou Ping'an, Li Chen didn't say anything.

Even if Su Zhen'ting were the best, he was still just a confidant. As a confidant, there is a distinction between superiors and inferiors, with clear ranks and deference. Li Chen couldn't possibly tell Su Zhen'ting everything.

Su Zhen'ting was obviously a very astute person. He understood the unspoken meaning immediately and replied, "Understood."

Li Chen was about to speak when Sanzhao walked over with a face ashen.

"Your Highness, I have something important to report!" Sanbao said.

When Su Zhenting was about to withdraw, Li Chen waved his hand and said, "Just say it."

Sān Bǎo's face turned ashen, and he said with difficulty: "Just received news, Duan Changmian...committed suicide in the imperial prison!" crush you with just a slap!"Yelü Qiming's face was filled with arrogance and triumph. As Li Chen drew closer, the excitement in his heart reached its peak.While Li Chen stood his ground, facing Yelü...
