"Of course, now we have to add one more person, your highness over there."
Wu Qingcang's words made Li Chen's brain spin rapidly.
There seem to be countless connections between these characters, and in the end, these connections are like scattered threads, with a starting point.
The common starting point of these threads lies in the hands of Emperor Daxing lying in the Qianqing Palace.
His face was expressionless, and Li Chen's eyes were calm.
No one knows what he is thinking.
Wu Qingcang didn't seem to care about what Li Chen was thinking. He continued: "Zhao Xuanji set up a game many years ago. His game was to let my brother receive his favor. He will have to repay this favor one day in the future. And erase this handle.”
"And earlier, the Holy Emperor also laid out a plan. This plan is for Zhao Xuanji to lay out."
Li Chen looked at Wu Qingcang and said, "Now I understand why you said that my father is third."
With a laugh, Wu Qingcang said: "The emperor's mental skills have been played to the extreme by the Holy Master. The lower ones work hard, the middle ones use their wisdom, and the upper ones work hard!"
"Since my father has such far-reaching plans, why didn't he solve Zhao Xuanji's serious problem early?" Li Chen asked.
Wu Qingcang replied calmly: "The right time, place, and people are not in the Holy Sage. Even though the Holy Sage has the ability to turn the sky and overturn the sea, there are things that are beyond the reach of human power."
"If it were you, Your Highness, knowing that you are terminally ill, would you allow a traitor to grow up and use his ability to govern the court on your behalf, or would you risk the country being torn apart and the country toppling, and eradicate this traitor?"
Li Chen didn't believe it: "At that time, Zhao Xuanji was just a small character. If he was killed, he would be killed. How could he cause the division of the country?"
Sighing, Wu Qingcang said: "Zhao Xuanji is a small role. Until now, in the consideration of the Holy Emperor, he is just a chess piece. To the Holy Emperor, the real threat to Jiangshan Sheji is the domestic ones. vassal kings and foreign states."
"In the civil and military dynasties, there is no one better than Zhao Xuanji in talent and intelligence. Although Zhao Xuanji is ambitious, there is no doubt about his ability. This was already seen by the Holy Emperor the first time he used him."
Li Chen nodded and admitted: "Yes, his ability to manage government affairs is indeed a genius."
"If the Holy One had not been terminally ill and could have persisted for another ten years, everything would have been different. But the Holy One had no time, so he personally supported Zhao Xuanji, accelerated his growth, and accelerated his ambition. That's the only way , when the Holy One is unable to manage the government, only someone can step forward to take his place and stabilize the current situation."
"I would like to ask Your Highness, if it were not for Zhao Xuanji, given the current situation in the imperial court, and the Holy Dragon Body has been disabled for many years, would Your Highness still have a chance to grow up? Those vassal kings would have already helped the new king ascend the throne and changed the world."
Li Chen frowned.
He had to admit that what Wu Qingcang said was true.
When he and Zhao Xuanji were fighting to the death, he realized that his father, who was lying on the hospital bed unable to wake up, had already stood on a higher level and planned the whole world in his sleep.
"In other words, Zhao Xuanji was deliberately left behind by the Holy One for two purposes. The first is to temporarily stabilize the situation when the Holy One is seriously ill."
"The second is to use Zhao Xuanji's ambition and ability to free up time for His Highness to grow up."
