Li Chen's anger is justified.

This sudden accident was completely beyond his control, leaving him caught off guard.

But unexpectedly, this matter must be addressed with the fastest possible solution.

Otherwise, if the King Ning truly rebelled, then the Yueya Pass would be in danger.

Li Chen wanted the Liao army to come in voluntarily, rather than being attacked by them when he wasn't ready.

Moreover, in that situation, Prince Ning would likely collude with the Liao army. The court would then face sixty thousand Liao cavalry troops plus Prince Ning's Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry. Given Prince Ning's capabilities, even if he assembled another four hundred thousand troops, it wouldn't be a major issue.

Then, facing the imperial court was an enemy army of one million strong, having broken through the Yueya Pass and advancing directly into the heartland of China.

Facing such a situation, Jin's 300,000 troops, Li Chen didn't even have to think about it. Huangji Tian would definitely immediately order them to turn around and leave.

It was precisely because of the inclusion of King Ning that, as a vassal king of the Qin Empire, he possessed a legitimate identity and could completely establish another regime, one supported by the Liao nation.

Even if this regime is nothing but a faade, as long as it exists, the righteousness of the Central Plains will be completely obliterated.

Li Chen had previously threatened that the Central Plains country could be destroyed, but the nation would not perish, and everyone would become a soldier. However, this threat now amounted to nothing more than empty words.

Therefore, the imperial court was inevitably plunged into a desperate struggle.

There's no faster way to commit suicide than this.

Looking at Zhao Xuanji, Li Chen said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is a matter of great importance. As the saying goes, 'When the nest is destroyed, there are no perfect eggs.' Your Majesty doesn't need this palace to remind you, right"

This is Li Chen warning Zhao Xuanji that in this situation where the whole ship is about to capsize, he should put away those inappropriate thoughts. Otherwise, if the ship sinks, everyone on board will be drowned.

The imperial court was ruined, and Zhao Xuanji gained nothing from it.

Most importantly, the presence of King Ning is within it.

Even for the Liao Kingdom, is King Ning better to use or Zhao Xuanji better

This is not a question worth considering at all.

The Liao Kingdom would definitely choose King Ning without hesitation and execute Zhao Xuanji.

The Liao army can come in, but it must be with his help. The Liao army can only operate within the Qin dynasty if he is the only collaborator they have. Otherwise, his fate will be worse than Li Chen's.

Therefore, Zhao Xuanji for the first time completely let go of his previous grudge and respectfully bowed to Li Chen, saying: "Your servant understands."

Li Chen nodded and said, "Then please, you two brainstorm together and come up with a suitable solution."

Zhao Xuanji and Su Zhen'ting both felt Li Chen's determination, the two also let go of the grudges in their hearts, and began to seriously discuss countermeasures.

And just as the lamps burned brightly in the East Palace, with three people at the pinnacle of power in the Qin Empire working late into the night to strategize, a sense of unease and fear gripped the Ning Wang's fiefdom.

Streets, official roads, and even remote mountains and ravines were patrolled by squads of soldiers. No building suspected of harboring people was left unchecked, with a determined air of searching every inch of ground.

Such a manhunt has lasted for a day and night.

Many people have already heard the news that there was a fire at King Ning's warehouse, and all those terrible things were exposed.

Everyone is incredibly curious about it, yet everyone remains silent on the subject.

No one dares to joke about this matter at this juncture.

And the soldiers under King Ning's command were searching for none other than the two brothers, Zhou Ping'an and Zhou Changshou. have someone post the results for all to see. In the Xizheng Hall, Li Chen received Zhou Ping'an.Zhou Ping an calmly stepped into the Xizheng Hall. Before he could even speak after bowing, Li Chen sa...
