Soan Tu is definitely not someone who can be killed.
One can fight and scold, but one cannot kill.
Li Chen's ruthlessness wasn't to that extent, so he just had someone carry Saoan Tu away.
Soan Tu naturally refused, struggling to say: "Thirteenth Brother, think carefully! This matter is intricately connected, a single thread can affect the whole body. If you rashly agree, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!"
Huangji Tian stared grimly as Saoan was lifted into the air by two guards and carried away.
Saoan Tu's voice gradually faded, but Huangjitian's face did not improve much.
"Everyone's already left, there's no need to be angry anymore."
Li Chen comforted with a sentence, "However, your Jin Kingdom subjects do have a few ounces of backbone."
The Emperor of Heaven smiled wryly and said, “Your Highness, please excuse my rudeness.”
"This Suo An Tu has always been the eldest brother's confidante, a true trusted lieutenant."
Li Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.
Saoantu was the Minister of Military Intelligence for the Jin Dynasty, equivalent to the Grand Scholars in the cabinet before the Qin Dynasty.
And such a high-ranking official would not easily take sides.
Because of their high authority and influence, their stance can lead to a cascade of unpredictable consequences.
The most direct point is that it led to the excessive power of princes.
Who is most uneasy about the increased power in the prince's hands
It must be the emperor.
So such situations are rare, and if they do happen, it is most likely that the emperor tacitly approves of them.
If the emperor of Jin defaulted to his military minister's choice of sides, then the power imbalance in this Jin imperial succession struggle would be quite significant.
Seeing Li Chen's strange expression, Huang Ji Tian arched his hands and said, "Man proposes, God disposes. I can only do my best."
Speaking to intelligent people means you don't need to say too much or be too direct. Just get to the point, and those who understand will understand.
Li Chen nodded and said, "If you need anything, I will do my best to help you."
Li Chen's words were not just idle chatter, nor was it an empty promise. It was a genuine desire to help Huangji Tian.
Compared to the eldest brother whom he had never met, Li Chen would rather choose Huangji Tian as the future emperor of the Jin Kingdom.
There was no other reason; the two people understood each other better and had a deeper foundation for cooperation.
As of now, the existence of Huangjitian serves the interests of the Qin state.
It seemed to sense Li Chen's sincerity, Huangji Tian nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
That's about it for this topic, we didn't delve too deep.
After all, they are all princes by birth and understand very well that the emperor most dislikes foreign forces interfering in the succession of the imperial power within his country. Once discovered, not a single emperor would tolerate it, the most likely outcome is a direct killing.
"At the earliest beginning of next month, this palace will fight a decisive battle with the Liao nation."
Li Chen looked at Huangji Tian and said, "At this time, it can only be advanced, not delayed."
Huangji Tian frowned and said, "It's too tight."
"Entering from Changbai Mountain, my Jin nation's army would take at least ten days to reach Yueya Pass, and now it is already mid-September. There isn't even time for battle plans, let alone for Your Highness to complete the operation of allowing Liao to enter."
Li Chen said: "It is precisely because we need to let the Liao army enter the pass that we must fight a quick and decisive battle. This palace cannot wait, and the Qin Dynasty can't afford to fight a protracted war. This will be my Great Qin's all-in gamble, a desperate battle, to defeat the Liao country in at least twenty years of their blood and bones. Otherwise, whether it is the Great Qin or the Jin Dynasty, they will not be at peace."n Dynasty and the Xian Chao.So Jin Xueyan said that fire can't be hidden, but Li Chen wanted this fire to burn at least until after he ascended the throne, and before that, the lid absolutely couldn't...
