Chapter 780: Let the Traitors Deal with the Traitors

, and the higher echelons of the sect are furious. After an investigation, it appears that the source of this information is most likely from the Dongchang, and the mastermind behind this plot points...Chapter 780: Let the Traitors Deal with the Traitors

Take a look, that's what professionalism is.

He Kun's answer satisfied Li Chen very much.

It's important to use the right methods when doing things, that's why we have sayings like "twice the result with half the effort" and "half the result with twice the effort."

We need to handle the Liao envoy delegation, but using force is unrealistic. It would be too costly and ineffective.

If you want to play dirty and use underhanded tactics, start by corrupting and dividing them from within. That might be twice as effective.

Make the best use of everything, and everyone's talents.

In Li Chen's view, he was born to be a treacherous minister.

There's no better way to deal with a traitor than with another traitor.

"Here you go, take care of it."

Li Chen nodded at He Kun and said, "Don't worry about how much silver or people it takes. This palace will give you all of it. You have the right to act on your own accord, and you only need to report back afterwards. But this palace also reminds you that you don't have much time. These Liao envoys suffered a setback at this morning's court meeting and will leave the capital in two or three days at most. Before then, if you haven't come up with any results, this palace will settle old and new scores with you."

Li Chen was assigning homework to He Kun in Xizheng Hall when Zhao Xuanji was not idle.

No one expected that, in broad daylight, just after the morning court session, Zhao Xuanji would appear before the Liao envoy group.

Although he tried to disguise himself, everyone knew that his whereabouts could not escape the all-seeing eyes of the Dongchang agents.

Yelü Shenxuan looked at Zhao Xuanji, who had just taken off his black hood, with an impassive expression. He said in a cold and indifferent tone: "Senior Advisor, you're really throwing caution to the wind"

It seems Zhao Xuanji didn't detect the irony in Yelü Shenxuan's words. He replied calmly, "This game is almost open, there's no point in hiding it anymore. Since I'm here, the East Palace can see it, and he'll feel more at ease. If I stayed home and didn't meet with Your Highness, he would be suspicious instead."

"Ye Lu Shen Xuan smiled thinly and said, "Then please just say it directly, Lord Ge Lao. What brings you here"

Zhaoxuanji said in a low voice, "Nowadays, there are many people in the court who yearn for the Liao Kingdom."

This single sentence aroused Yelu Shenxuan's interest.

His fingers tapped slowly on the armrest of his seat, and after a long silence he said: “But I have lost my patience.”

"The Liao Kingdom, must not be humiliated!"

Speaking of this, it seemed as if some unpleasant memory had ignited Yelu Shenxuan's anger. His eyes turned cold, and he said, "This morning in court, he single-handedly silenced all of you. He hasn't even ascended the throne yet! For over a decade, you have held onto power like a dog!"

"Over the past year, a lot has happened in the Qin Empire, and your contributions to the Liao Kingdom have become increasingly insignificant."

Ye Lu Shen Xuan stared intently at Zhao Xuanji, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Xuanji, now whether it is Father Khan, the prime minister, or me, we have all lost faith in you. Do you think Liao State still needs to protect you"

Yelü Shenxuan's words were quite rude.

...didn't even treat Zhao Xuanji, a high-ranking official of the Qin Empire, as an equal. ...

Zhao Xuanji's face was gloomy as he said, "Your Highness, I think you have misunderstood something. This old man is in a cooperative relationship with you, not your subordinate."

"Cooperation"

Yelü Shenxuan burst into laughter and said, "Only two people who are equal have the right to cooperate with each other. In the past, you had a unique influence on the politics of the Qin Dynasty, so you were qualified. But now, what qualifications do you have to talk about cooperation in front of me"rd and raised his hand to say, “Your Majesty, I have something to report.”When Dantai Jing had something to say, everyone’s hearts were lifted, wanting to hear clearly what this great sage of the worl...
