Chapter 1241: Can Zhang Biwu Be Trusted?

Chapter 694 I haven't been reckless enoughChapter 1241: Can Zhang Biwu Be Trusted

Li Chen didn't expect that Zhang Biwu's so-called "one more way" was actually to sell him out.

However, I have to admit, this method really moved Li Chen's heart.

Although Li Chen adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards Zhao Xuanji's current situation, hoping that his development would give the vassal kings a glimmer of hope to resist him, deep down, Li Chen never truly let go of his apprehension towards Zhao Xuanji.

Let's disregard everything else, even if Zhao Xuanji's rebellion failed despite being pushed to the brink of death. But setting that aside, what were the consequences

The rebellion failed, Zhao Xuanji is still alive.

Not only is he still alive, but he still holds his position.

Even if the Cabinet were to be disbanded, Li Chen would still have to give him a position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Although his actual power is less than before, given Zhao Xuanji's methods, it's only a matter of time before he completely controls the Ministry of Officials.

Regardless of whether the Great Khan Emperor intentionally did so or Li Chen had to cooperate based on reality, Zhao Xuanji's abilities must be acknowledged from this outcome.

Even if it was intentionally left for him, and Emperor Taishang vehemently requested Li Chen to spare his life, it was still a testament to his ability.

Just like when someone wins the lottery and people say they're just lucky and have no real talent.

This sentence itself is wrong.

Isn't good luck a kind of skill

Getting rich is a fact, and no excuse or reason can cover it up.

Just as Zhao Xuanji is alive, and living as the magistrate of the Ministry of Officials, Li Chen must still give him time and space to recover his strength. Can you say this isn't Zhao Xuanji's ability

In that case, planting a mole beside Zhao Xuanji seems like an absolutely brilliant idea.

Li Chen looked at Zhang Biwu and said, "How can I believe you"

When Zhang Biwu saw Li Chen, he was truly moved. Relieved, he spoke in a deep voice: "Your Highness need not believe this old minister, nor need you pay any price. Just wait for this old minister to bring back the news."

Li Chen chuckled lightly: "This sounds like a surefire win."

"It's risk-free, high reward."

Zhang Biwu said sincerely: “This old minister will use time to prove his loyalty. Before that, this old minister will not ask the prince for any favors.”

Sure thing.

Li Chen said: "Since you are willing to cooperate, this palace is naturally pleased."

"Just wait and see, Your Highness," Zhang Biwu said.

Li Chen looked up at the bear corpse lying quietly on the ground and said, "This is a good gift, I'll take it."

Zhang Biwu's eyes flashed with color, and he respectfully said, "Your Majesty, this old minister will take his leave."

"No delivery."

Li Chen waved his hand.

Zhang Biwu left.

It's true that nothing was asked for.

After Zhang Biwu left, Su Zhen Ting came to Li Chen's side and said, "Your Highness, it's really···"

Li Chen said: "This palace understands your hard work, and the result is good. This palace will not blame you indiscriminately."

Looking at the black bear's corpse, Li Chen suddenly smiled and said, "I wonder if this bear meat would be poisonous to eat"

Su ZhenTing thought for a moment, then said: "Bear meat is inherently non-toxic, but if someone wants to eat it and becomes poisoned, there's only one way - the bear must poison itself first. Only then would the meat possibly contain toxins."

With a chuckle, Li Chen walked leisurely through the hunting ground with Su Zhendong, his mind no longer focused on the hunt.

"In General Su's opinion, is this battle plan credible"Chen arrived, Su Jinpa was reading a book by the window.Just as the maidservant came over with a bowl of medicine."Greetings, Your Highness."The maidservant, upon seeing Li Chen, immediately knelt dow...
