Chapter 491 Three strategies: upper, middle and lower
Half an hour later, East Palace.
Sanbao bent down and stood respectfully in front of Li Chen, and said softly: "Your Highness, King Zhao is so bold that he dares to plan a prison robbery. Do you need your slave to arrange an ambush for Dongchang masters, so that you can steal the stolen goods all by yourself?"
Li Chen played with the note in his hand. On it was Xu Wei's handwriting, which was a very simple sentence.
At midnight tonight, King Zhao robs the prison to rescue Bai Lian.
Putting down the note, Li Chen said: "No, you go and call Zhou Pingan."
Sanbao responded respectfully and left immediately.
Soon, Zhou Ping'an walked steadily into the Xi Zheng Hall and bowed to Li Chen.
"Weak minister Zhou Ping'an has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chen motioned to Sanbao to give the note to Zhou Pingan.
When Zhou Ping'an took the note and read the content, Li Chen said: "Previously, I ordered Prince Zhao to kill these White Lotus followers."
Zhou Ping'an was alert and understood most of it immediately.
"King Zhao, he doesn't want to provoke the White Lotus Sect, or he has interests involved, so he can't be the supervisor."
Li Chen nodded and said: "It's easy to talk to smart people. What do you think we should do about this matter?"
Zhou Ping'an said: "It depends on what His Highness wants to do."
"According to the ministers, there are three strategies: upper, middle and lower."
"The next best thing is to ambush King Zhao's men and seize both the men and the stolen goods."
Li Chen laughed and said, "What about the middle and best strategies?"
"The middle strategy is to transfer these prisoners in advance so that King Zhao will waste his efforts."
"As for the best strategy, it is to use the strategy to your advantage."
Zhou Ping'an looked directly at Li Chen and said confidently: "The fundamental reason why King Zhao made this move was to avoid the negative impact of becoming the supervisor. But if it was because of his small actions, he would be completely convinced."
Where is his crime?"
"Originally, he came to supervise the execution, and he had something to say. As a prince, although he has a high and powerful position, he still has to obey the orders of the East Palace and the imperial court. In the final analysis, he has no choice but to do it himself."
"But... what if these people he saved died suddenly after he rescued them?"
"Then King Zhao will never be able to get rid of his murderous behavior."
Zhou Pingan's words made Li Chen narrow his eyes and remain silent.
Frankly speaking, Li Chen really didn't expect this before.
But there is no doubt that Zhou Pingan's plan was clever and ruthless.
Since his purpose is to cause discord between Li Yinhu and the White Lotus Sect, and even let the madmen from the White Lotus Sect start targeting Li Yinhu, then obviously, the influence brought by the supervisor on the surface is far less than that of the group of people secretly.
Cultists died in mysterious circumstances.
Because Li Yinhu and Bailianjiao knew that there were secrets between them that could not be made public.
So these believers were first rescued and then died inexplicably. What does the White Lotus Sect think?
The first thought was that Li Yinhu killed people and silenced them.
Once this thought arises, it is like a germinated seed and is difficult to eradicate.
In the blink of an eye, Li Chen already had a complete plan.
"Three Treasures."
Li Chen shouted, and while Sanbao hurried in, Li Chen asked straight to the point: "Is there any poison in Dongchang?"
Sanbao was stunned for a moment.
I feel that this question of His Royal Highness is very insulting.
It's like asking a young lady if she wears underwear.
But thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and immediately replied: "There are all kinds of strange poisons, as long as His Highness needs them. If Dongchang doesn't have them, then no one else in the world must have them."
