Looking at the old man Zhao Xuanji's expression, he seemed not to have expected Zhao Qinglan's sudden arrival.
But no matter what, the appearance of Zhao Qinglan at this juncture is a good thing rather than a bad thing.
At least, it gives room for easing the conflict between Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji.
However, once a political old fox like Zhao Xuanji has made up his mind to do something, he will never give up easily.
After Zhao Qinglan sat down, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, what I said is from the bottom of my heart. Please think twice before you act."
Li Chen stared at Zhao Xuanji expressionlessly and said coldly: "In the opinion of the elder, what should I do?"
Zhao Xuanji cupped his hands and said: "Big things are reduced to small things, small things are reduced to small things."
"The Liao Kingdom will definitely not let this matter go. Once the Liao Kingdom learns of His Highness's identity, there will only be one result, and that is a war between the two countries. Therefore, the subsequent negotiations with the Liao Kingdom, please leave it to the veteran minister to handle it!"
Having said this, Zhao Xuanji revealed his true ambition and fangs.
He wants to get the decision-making power to negotiate with Liao!
Yelu Qiming is dead, and the Liao Kingdom will not let this matter go.
What Zhao Xuanji was most worried about was not that the Liao Kingdom was quarreling with the court over this matter. Even if it was a life-and-death fight, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people died in a war. In the end, it would be fine if he lost the land and paid compensation. It would not affect his continued work.
Be your own boss.
But if Yelu Shenxuan or Wanyan Zaidao get angry because of this and vent their anger on themselves, they don't even need to do anything. They just need to throw out the evidence of their contact with them over the years. Then the prince Li Chen in front of him will definitely
He will be the first to cut himself into pieces.
So Zhao Xuanji had already thought it through on the way here.
We must take advantage of this opportunity to gain the decision-making power in the negotiations, and then agree to all the conditions of the Liao Kingdom.
What about cooperating to attack the Kingdom of Jin, and what about taking advantage of the Crescent Pass?
Regardless of whether he has wild ambitions, whether he is secretly plotting against Chen Cang to target the Qin Dynasty or whether he really wants to attack the Kingdom of Jin, as long as his position remains unchanged, then everything can be expected.
"What do you plan to do with full power?" Li Chen asked quietly.
Zhao Xuanji frowned slightly, but still replied: "Of course I will try my best to agree to Liao's conditions in order to appease their anger."
"Hahaha!"
Li Chen suddenly laughed loudly.
He laughed without warning, startling everyone.
Even Zhao Qinglan looked at Li Chen in astonishment, feeling that the prince had been driven crazy under the pressure.
Only the old god Su Zhenting was here and didn't take it seriously at all.
Because he knew Li Chen's character too well, it was impossible for him to agree to this matter.
After the laughter, Li Chen had a stern look on his face. He stared at Zhao Xuanji and said sternly: "Zhao Xuanji, if the Liao Kingdom proposes to hand over Da Qin to them, are you also going to tie me up and send him to your door?"
Zhao Xuanji's face darkened, and before he could reply, Li Chen continued: "The Qin Dynasty established the country with force and governed it with filial piety. The ancestral family mottos are still lingering in my ears. I will never be a cowardly prince!"
"With regard to the negotiations between the two countries, not to mention that the Liao Kingdom had evil intentions, even if they really came to attack the Jin Kingdom, they should have lowered their posture and offered benefits in a good manner to convince me, Da Qin, to agree to the conditions.
It’s not like Da Qin is begging to cooperate with them!”
