Chapter 1240: The Old Minister Has One More Suggestion

idence in my house. Is there any law left in this world! My master has worked diligently his whole life, he may not have accomplished great feats, but he certainly has suffered for them. And these peo...Chapter 1240: The Old Minister Has Another Way

"Please, Your Highness, retire your attendants." Zhang Biwu began.

Li Chen nodded and waved his hand, "All of you, withdraw."

This statement was naturally directed at the guards around them.

Upon hearing the command, a circle of guards instantly obeyed. They retreated one hundred paces and instinctively formed a ring around the designated area, facing outward while keeping their backs to the center, maintaining a state of alert.

"Well then," Li Chen said indifferently.

Zhang Bimu said in a low voice, "Old minister, I have evidence of the Grand Councilor's correspondence with the Liao state over many years. Although it is a copy, it is enough to be fatal to the Grand Councilor."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This kind of thing, no matter who it is, will be kept very carefully. Why could you get your hands on it"

Zhang Biwu replied, "I have known Lord Minister for thirty years. Over these thirty years, cultivating a few trusted confidantes for Lord Minister is not a difficult task."

"It seems like your stomach has never been full from the start."

Li Chen said lightly, “This is indeed a good thing. But if it were a month ago, this palace would have been somewhat interested, but now... it's useless.”

A month ago, it was precisely when the capital experienced a dramatic upheaval.

If Zhang Biwu had been able to defect at that time, Li Chen would have been overjoyed.

But now that the dust has settled, Zhang Biwu coming over with a broom seems redundant.

"You should know, adding flowers to a beautiful landscape is far less valuable than providing charcoal in the midst of snow."

Li Chen's words caused Zhang Bwu's heart to sink suddenly. He said, "Although the old minister knows that now the Grand Tutor poses no threat to Your Highness, Your Highness must never underestimate this man. His ability to endure is second only to none in the entire Qin Dynasty."

Li Chen now hopes that Zhao Xuanji will rise to prominence as soon as possible.

The location of the Shangshu Province's provincial decree is to allow him to recover his vitality as soon as possible.

Only when he once again emerges and puts on a display of equal footing with them will those princes choose to continue bearing it.

This

is not enough to say about Zhang Biwu.

"Is that all you have to say" Li Chen asked.

Although the tone remained calm and gentle, there was a hint of impatience in it.

Zhang Biwu's face tightened. He hadn't expected that even by actively surrendering himself, there was still a risk of being rejected.

At least, he is one of the core members of the cabinet.

Although the cabinet has been dismantled by Li Chen, with all power divided among three ministries, Zhang Biwu remains an important official of the highest rank in the court!

Beside him, Su Zhendong also looked at Zhang Biwu with displeasure.

He went through all that trouble to invite the Crown Prince over, dangling a carrot and then taking him hunting, all because he thought Zhang Bimu would come up with something good. But in the end, all he had was evidence of Zhao Xuanji being beaten almost to death

This evidence is worthless.

Doesn't the fact that Donggong wants to kill Zhao Xuanji prove everything

Right now, we can't kill him. We just can't afford to.

It's all about mutual benefit and waiting for the right opportunity.

If Biwu doesn't come up with something today, Su Zhenting will teach this old man a lesson about the might of the General of the Marshal's Mansion.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Biwu said with determination: "Your Highness, I have one more suggestion that may move you."

Li Chen said calmly, "Then just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."

Zhang Biwu gritted his teeth and said, “This old minister can go back and continue to eat the food at the Elder’s house.”

But what the food tastes like, and what kind of dishes they serve every day, Your Highness can be assured that this old minister will know clearly.remise of our cooperation. My master and I are in the dark, while the prince is in the open. We, as his master and student, can fully support the prince's ascension, on one condition."Li Yinhu narrowe...
