Chapter 1712: His Highness's Ingenious Calculation

en, Elder, take care."After Zhang Biwu spoke, Fu Yuzhi also followed suit and said: "Tomorrow morning at court, we shall just wait and see what the Grand Councilor does."Zhao Xuanji calmly said, “Tomo...Chapter 1712: His Highness's Brilliant Calculations

"As you wish, Your Highness."

Zhou Ping'an and Zhou Changshou immediately replied.

Li Chen said: "Take this palace's letter back to the capital and see Zhao Xuanji."

Zhou Ping'an and Zhou Changshou did not show any surprised expressions.

At this point, the entire situation was intricate and chaotic, like a ball of tangled yarn. But no matter how complex it became, there were always a few core points to it.

One is naturally Li Chen, the other is Wen Wang, and the remaining one must be Zhao Xuanji.

The world situation is constantly changing, and so are the relationships between people.

At times, enemies can become friends, and friends can certainly turn into enemies.

This necessary condition, the only measure is naturally interest.

“If the run on the banks continues to worsen, then the imperial government will be in a state of bankruptcy. No one will believe the government anymore. Such a huge hole cannot be filled, and the livelihood of the entire nation would inevitably collapse. A great upheaval and civil unrest is imminent. This palace does not want to see such a situation unfold, and Zhao Xuanji surely doesn't either.”

"My game with Zhao Xuanji, the chessboard is the relatively stable government. If the government is overturned, Zhao Xuanji and I will both be more harmed than benefited. Even he is even more eager to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, so Zhao Xuanji and I have a basis for cooperation."

"Have him find a way to make up the shortfall, and I will give him a satisfactory explanation."

After Li Chen finished speaking, Zhou Changshou couldn't help but curiously ask, "What do you plan to give him"

"What to give him"

Li Chen chuckled and said, "Since the founding of our dynasty by our great-grandfather, six different surnames kings have been enfeoffed. Over three hundred years of inheritance and changes, those six different surnames kings, some were seized, some perished, and for over a hundred years, there hasn't been a new one. I let him become the first different surname king in a hundred years, do you think he wouldn't be moved"

Li Chen's generosity shocked both Zhou Pingan and Zhou Changshou.

Zhou Changshou took a deep breath. He had known before that King Ning was incredibly powerful, but now it seemed that as the prince, his nephew possessed even greater fortitude.

"Your Highness, under such conditions, Zhao Xuanji would surely be moved, but there is the worry of raising a tiger to harm oneself."

Zhou Changshou said sincerely, “Zhao Xuanji has enormous power within the government. Your Highness has tried several times to get rid of him, but because his foundation is too strong, he could only temporarily endure and give up. If we were to give him the title of King now, I'm afraid that in the future, it will be uncontrollable and even harder to manage.”

Li Chen smiled at Zhou Changshou and said, "You're right, but the benefits aren't enough. How could Zhao Xuanji possibly make a move"

"Understand that while he dislikes seeing the chessboard overturned, if that day truly arrives, when heaven and earth collapse, it will be this palace, it will be father emperor, who stand at the forefront, not him."

"This old fox is cunning and calculating, even a fallen eyelash of his would be hollow. He plays with interests, weaving a complex web for his own gain. How can one fail to see through this He deserves to sit firmly on the stage, precisely because he knows I wouldn't idly stand by as he's squeezed. So, I must offer him an even bigger piece of fat, luring him out of his hole."

Moreover, he's a prince of a different surname... Since he's a king, he must have a fiefdom. What if this palace bestowed upon him the title of King of Huaiyin

This sentence landed, Zhou Changshou's expression suddenly became animated.

Zhou Ping'an pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh and burst into laughter: "Your Highness, your calculations are brilliant! Truly extraordinary!"Chapter 1343: Xiaoguo's RuthlessnessTherefore, throughout history, the area within two zhang of a monarch was an absolute forbidden zone.
