ently to defend the Liaodong region. Its commander-in-chief was your father's deputy back then. You should be able to contact him, right"Su Zhen Ting leaned close to Li Chen and whispered, "The comman...Chapter 119: Su Jinpa's Wisdom

Li Chen was already feeling troubled and came to Su Zhen Ting for advice. Now that Su Jin Pa spoke up, Li Chen didn't hide anything and explained the situation in Xishan Province.

"This matter, this palace cannot bear. It's the entire court who has concealed it from me. It shows how venomous Zhao Xuanji's heart is. Even the Dongchang has been deceived. If it weren't for a stroke of luck, once those rebels grew stronger and truly became a major threat to the Qin Empire, shaking its foundation, how could this palace handle it"

Li Chen let out a cold snort and said, "For the sake of power and profit, these people are truly unscrupulous."

Su Jinpa was also somewhat shocked and indignant. She pondered carefully, and said: "Your Highness, this matter must be carefully considered."

Li Chen asked, "What do you think"

Su Jinpa tilted her head slightly, frowning as she pondered. She was oblivious to the captivating allure she exuded at that moment.

Li Chen, looking at such a stunning beauty, his heart was much more peaceful. He wasn't in a hurry anymore and waited slowly for Su Jinpa to make up her mind.

A moment later, Su Jinping said: "First of all, I'm certain Zhao Xuanji must know about this."

Li Chen nodded, this was not surprising. If Zhao Xuanji didn't know, it could only mean that he had been in power for over a decade and had become completely out of touch.

"Zhao Xuanji has other motives. The most likely scenario is that he's waiting to let things escalate before revealing the truth, catching the prince off guard. At that point, the court would be thrown into chaos, and the power the prince has so hard-won would likely be gradually taken back from him piece by piece."

"A few days ago, Zhao Xuanji had the Ninth Prince come forward to alleviate the disaster. Perhaps this was also a key part of the plan."

Su Jinpa whispered, "If things go according to plan, Zhao Xuanji will secretly stir the pot and let the rebels expand further. You have to know that if the Xishan Prefecture army comes out of Nanzhili and heads straight for Beizhili, they'll be entering the Jingji region. With chaos reigning throughout the land, if Zhao Xuanji plays his cards right and Your Highness makes a mistake in your response, the war could escalate, allowing him to seize power by force and install the Ninth Prince on the throne. It's not entirely impossible."

Su Jinpa's analysis left Li Chen's face as dark as ink.

"Of course, it's all the worst-case scenario. Things haven't gotten to that point yet."

Su Jinpa comforted her with a soft voice: “Your Highness, why not turn the tables”

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, saying, "Tell me more."

With a slight smile, Su Jinpan suddenly felt a sense of pride.

And what about the prince Isn't he still relying on me for advice

Let you be so arrogant again!

You always come begging me!

Thinking this way, Su Jinpa's smile widened, but she didn't keep anyone in suspense. Instead, she spoke, "In my opinion, Your Highness should first find out the true scale of this rebellion. How much territory have they seized Then... pretend to know nothing and let them grow stronger."

Li Chen frowned.

Su Jinpa followed up, "Don't you think, Your Highness, this is a prime opportunity to further consolidate military power"

At these words, Li Chen was struck dumb with astonishment.

He suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, a sudden clarity of understanding.

Rebellion was an opportunity for Zhao Xuanji, but it was also one for me.

Staring at Su Jinpa, Li Chen suddenly realized that the great emperor had entrusted the Su family to him. The greatest gain on the surface was Su Zhenting, the son of the military god, but in reality, it might be Su Jinpa, the prince consort with brilliant tactics.

With such a mind, if he were a man, even if he were from the Su family, he would not be kept.nged the subject, saying, "Xu Junlou, you have already taken over today and are the new City Magistrate of Beijing. In your opinion, how should this case proceed"How about itSuch a big thing, should I...
