Li Chen opened his eyes and stretched out of the carriage.
After taking a nap for a moment, Li Chen turned to Su Jinpa refreshed and said, "I'll come see you next time when I'm sleepy."
After Su Jinpa heard this, he glared at him angrily, said "dream", and ran away.
After entering the General's Mansion, Li Chen did not tease Su Jinpa anymore. Instead, he asked someone to call Su Zhenting and went directly to Su Zhenting's study where no one dared to enter.
When Su Zhenting arrived, Li Chen was flipping through several official documents on Su Zhenting's desk and reading them with great interest.
If these official documents were shown to anyone at will, it would be a crime punishable by death. But from Li Chen's perspective, it was perfectly justified.
Su Zhenting cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness."
Nodding, leaving the official document, Li Chen said to Su Zhenting: "General, please take a seat."
Calling it this way means that this conversation is a conversation between the prince and the general, and it is a business matter.
Su Zhenting nodded and sat in the guest seat.
No one thought anything was wrong.
Li Chen's eyes were calm and he said: "General, does he know anything about King Wen?"
Su Zhenting nodded and said, "Yes."
"The Holy One is the fourth son of the late Emperor, and King Wen is the seventh son. When the late Emperor was still alive, he was particularly fond of King Wen. Among the nine sons, all the princes, including the Holy One, were raised by their own mothers and then looked for their husbands to attend classes.
Tutoring, only King Wen, the late emperor himself took with him and taught him."
"In the late years of the late emperor's reign, the controversy over the appointment of the crown prince was extremely turbulent, and King Wen's reputation and reputation were higher than those of the Holy Emperor. Many people thought that the late emperor would pass the throne to King Wen."
"But the incident of seizing the legitimate son in Kowloon broke out, and King Wen finally angered the late emperor for unknown reasons. Even so, the late emperor still gave King Wen the noble title of King Wen. After the title of king, he rewarded King Wen with the best fief, but also
At this point, King Wen announced that he had no chance to take the throne. In the end, the Holy Master, with the support of Zhao Xuanji and others, had the last laugh and was crowned the great treasure."
"Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he has taken great care of King Wen, and King Wen has always behaved very respectfully. He has never been vague about the taxes and money that should be handed over to the court, and he has never refused when the court needs it. On every festival, he will send someone to deliver it.
I gave him gifts and greetings to His Majesty, and with just this, I won countless praises, which are unmatched by other feudal lords."
"However, no matter how good his reputation is and how respectful he has been over the years, it cannot change the fact that King Wen is extremely powerful among the vassal kings. Not only is he wealthy, King Wen has never given up military power for many years. Especially in the past two years, the court has exerted great pressure on local governments.
His control ability has declined, and King Wen's military strength has already exceeded the limit allowed by the court. Even though this is the tacit consent of the vassal king and even the court, among the many vassal kings, King Wen's military strength is the strongest."
"Although the territory belongs to the south and does not have all the capable soldiers like other vassal kings, its strong financial resources alone can make up for many shortcomings. Therefore, when the emperor is awake, he has always regarded King Wen as a serious problem."
"Even the Holy One once said that beside the couch is King Wen."
Having said this, Su Zhenting breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hands and asked: "Your Highness, is there anything unusual about King Wen?"
With Su Zhenting's introduction, Li Chen finally got a general understanding of King Wen.
He nodded slowly and said: "Prince Wen, today, he has changed his low-key style for the past few years. Today, he borrowed the name of the Poetry Society in Yimei Garden and summoned many officials in the capital to form a meeting called Wenyuan Society."
