Chapter 830: The One Who Knows Me, the Great General

Chapter 651: At Worst, I'll Stage a Coup in the East PalaceChapter 830: The One Who Knows Me, the Great General

Such a direct question instantly made Li Peipei's face flush.

Although she wasn't exceptionally beautiful, the young girl was full of youthful charm and always captivating.

Su Pingbei and Li Chen were about the same age and had similar outgoing personalities. Since they already knew each other well, they weren't very reserved. Su Pingbei glanced at Li Peipei, scratched his head, and grinned foolishly at Li Chen: "Very good, very good, I like it very much..."

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Su Jinpa glared at Su Pingbei and cut him off.

If she were an ordinary woman, such words would be acceptable.

After all, Li Peipei was the reigning princess. If she continued speaking, it would inevitably be considered impolite.

Even if the two were already married, Su Pingbei would still be a mere consort, far beneath the status of Princess. In the Qin Dynasty, it was unheard of for a consort to speak such words.

Of course, that's a different story behind closed doors.

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. It's perfectly normal for men and women to fall in love. I also hope that you get along well with each other, so that this marriage would be considered a win-win situation."

After chatting for a while, Li Chen saw that Li Peipei was so nervous she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. So he called out to Su Pingbei and asked Su Jinpa to accompany Li Peipei, the two of them leaving here.

"Your Highness, is something the matter" Su Pingbei asked halfway there.

He knew that the East Palace was very busy lately, and tomorrow was the day of the palace exam. Unless it was something important, His Highness wouldn't likely come to his house at this time.

"Hmm."

Li Chen snorted and said, "Zhao Xuanji is going to rebel."

Clang.

Supingbei's left foot was tripped by his right foot, and he bumped his head against a pillar, making him see stars.

"He's gone mad! " Su Pingbei clutched his head, his voice urgent despite the throbbing pain.

Either you die or you go insane. A sane person would choose to go insane.

Li Chen glanced at him and said, "This palace doesn't have much time. Your father should be in the study already. Go over there quickly and listen to the national affairs today."

The two arrived at the study, and Su Zhen'ting was indeed already waiting.

"Your Highness."

Su Zhen Ting didn't even glance at his son, and instead bowed to Li Chen.

"No need."

Li Chen sat casually in the main seat. He didn't sit down, and Su Zhen Ting would stand there accompanying him. As for Su Pingbei... he wanted to sit in front of Li Chen, but he knew he would have to wait another ten years.

Su Zhen Ting also pointed out to Li Chen that time was precious, so without waiting for Li Chen to ask, he went straight to the point and said: "I have already contacted some truly reliable generals, and they guarantee that in the Jingji region, more than 20,000 troops can be mobilized at any time. These 20,000 troops are all loyal to your lordship."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Since the founding of this dynasty, in order to prevent accidents, the military deployment in the Jing-Capital region has always been small, but they are all elite soldiers. Besides the North and South camps of the Imperial Guard, there were about 50,000 troops in total. Now, only 20,000 can be guaranteed to arrive”

Su ZhenTing said in a deep voice, “There are about 10,000 people who have problems. As for the rest, I can't guarantee their loyalty, so I didn't include them.”

"It seems that it's not just the civil service system that's corrupt, this military group is also riddled with factions."

Li Chen rubbed his temples and said, "Do you know what this palace is truly worried about now"

Su Zhen'ting looked grave and said, "Your Highness worried about the various provinces"

Li Chen sighed softly and said, "Only General knows me.""Li Chen's words struck Huang Ji Tian as if he had been hit by lightning.If all of Li Chen's previous persuasions had only moved Huang Ji Tian's heart, then these words gave Huang Ji Tian a reason he...
