Li Chen's proposal left Su Zhen Ting with a look of astonishment.

It's not that Mr. Mirror isn't qualified, but...

"Your Highness, Master Jing is renowned throughout the land. In his early years, His Majesty invited him to serve several times, but he declined every time, stating that his aspirations lie not in the court but in a humble cottage amidst nature, finding solace in mountains and waters."

"Mr. Jingzhi's reputation was exceptionally high, to the point that he was practically a living sage in the hearts of all Confucian scholars across the land. The court couldn't possibly use force against him."

"So, Your Highness, if you don't have some other way to do things, I expect little hope."

Su Zhen'ting tried his best to make his words more tactful, but he was still worried that his words would provoke Li Chen and force him to bring Mr. Mirror over. If things went wrong, the East Palace Prince would truly become the target of public condemnation by all scholars, which would certainly not be a good thing for the prince.

Li Chen saw Su Zhen's hesitation and smiled, "I have a plan for this. While I have some confidence, I also know how difficult it is to invite Mr. Jingzhi. General, please rest assured, if it doesn't work out, we'll just let it go. I won't force the issue."

Seeing Li Chen understand his meaning, Su Zhen Ting nodded and said, "Your Highness is wise, I have overthought it."

Waving his hand, Li Chen said: "According to the days, Pingbei should have entered the territory of Xianchao and begun fighting against Dongying. In this battle, the general still needs to pay more attention, and there must be no mistakes."

Su Zhendong said seriously, "This battle is not only to help the Xian Dynasty but also to boost the morale of our Great Qin. I will definitely do my best and will not be careless in the slightest."

Li Chen got up and walked to the door of Xizheng Hall. Looking at the vast scenery outside, he said slowly: "Right now is a busy time. We can still have a little free time these days. Once the new year starts, it won't be so easy."

Su Zhen Ting stood behind Li Chen and smiled, "Your Highness, the most difficult times are over. This new year will get better and better."

"Best regards to General Tuo," Li Chen smiled.

The next day, Li Chen waited for Zhou Ping'an at Xizheng Hall.

“Internal strife within the rebel forces, with tens of thousands of soldiers now splintered into six or seven factions. The Western Mountain Province is currently a cacophony of bloodshed, and the imperial court doesn't even need to intervene. They can simply wait for these factions to decimate each other, then reap the benefits.”

Li Chen said, looking at Zhou Ping'an in front of him, who was dressed in a plain blue long robe and had an elegant and scholarly demeanor, he smiled lightly: "You, a great talent."

Zhou Ping'an bowed slightly and said with restraint: "I used some clever tricks. They seem unbelievable to others, but for my brothers who control the entire rebel army's lifeline, splitting them up is like knowing the secret beforehand. With a little effort, we can move mountains. It may seem exaggerated, but in reality, it's nothing special."

"You're nothing to be concerned about. You've saved this palace a great deal of thought and the court a great deal of manpower, resources, and finances in dealing with them."

Li Chen smiled and said, "I'm just curious. Since your brother followed King Ning's orders to manage this game, but the situation was disrupted right at the start, will King Ning simply give up"

Zhou Ping'an remained calm, his voice soft as he replied: "There are always many unexpected things that happen in this world. Besides, they were a motley crew to begin with. They suddenly gained power and started acting recklessly. It was only natural for them to turn against each other in their scramble for more resources and power."llowed to participate in the protection of His Highness again, and are all transferred to patrol outside the East Palace. Additional personnel will be selected from the Inner Guard to replace them."Z...
