"General Su, it seems that Zhao Xuanji can't bear it any longer. They may attack the East Palace at any time."
Li Chen's first words made Su Changqing's heart lift into her throat.
Su Zhenting smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, everything is under my control. Nothing will happen to the East Palace."
Nodding, Li Chen said: "With General Su's words, I feel relieved."
Looking at Xu Changqing again, Li Chen said in a deep voice: "Xu Changqing, your task is the heaviest in the next period of time."
Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Your Highness, I am willing to die for Your Highness."
"In terms of government affairs, you have to take more responsibility. In the current situation, I cannot promote you. Even if you are promoted, the cabinet will not recognize it. It will be unfair and unfair, and it will make you unable to perform...
Hands and feet, but I promise you that I will give you the position of a bachelor."
If you want a horse to run, you must feed it well.
At present, Xu Changqing's position as Zuo Shilang in the Household Department is indeed too low, and his position in the Household Department is also very limited, and he cannot intervene in many things.
But for a confidant of the East Palace like Xu Changqing, the cabinet will never allow him to be promoted.
It's the same even if Li Chen issued an imperial edict.
Zhao Xuanji has many ways to make Xu Changqing appear in name only, so it is better to seize the power he has now.
However, Li Chen did not let Xu Changqing dream about it. If the previous wife's promise was just a signal, this promise now is a real benefit.
As expected, Xu Changqing became excited and said, "I don't dare to ask for too much. I just hope that I can share your worries with Your Highness."
Just listen to this.
Li Chen was not being serious. He continued: "Next, the cabinet will most likely be shut down, and officials from the cabinet will backlog all government affairs. As a result, the court will not be able to handle government affairs across the country, and many things will be lost.
I’m stuck in the process and can’t move forward.”
"And what you have to do is to take care of all the things you can manage, coordinate the subordinate officials of the East Palace, and twist them into a unified rope. Only in this way can you hope to confront the cabinet."
Xu Changqing immediately said: "I understand."
"Okay, you go down. The political situation is currently turbulent and people are panicked. You should go and arrange the arrangements as soon as possible. This will also give the officials below a direction to use their efforts."
After letting Xu Changqing leave, Li Chen looked at Su Zhenting again and asked: "In the general's opinion, if Zhao Xuanji's army advises, how big will it be?"
Xu Changqing was not here, so Su Zhenting felt free to tell some truth.
His expression was far less relaxed than before, and he said: "Zhao Xuanji is much stronger than we thought. Although we have locked in a lot of people since we got the list last time, there is no guarantee that Zhao Xuanji will have others.
Backhand, after all, he is Zhao Xuanji."
Li Chen nodded, not feeling that Su Zhenting was too cautious.
Facing the full strength of a powerful enemy like Zhao Xuanji, one cannot be too careful.
"So judging from my worst-case scenario, there will be at least 30,000 people."
Su Zhenting said in a deep voice: "And these 30,000 people are definitely well-trained and have superior strength. They are not comparable to ordinary soldiers."
"With Zhao Xuanji's internal and external cooperation, these 30,000 people can annihilate the capital in one day. With our current military strength, it can be mobilized in a short time. It can be defended, but it is extremely difficult to last for a long time."
Li Chen tapped his fingers on the table and asked: "If troops from other places are mobilized to Beijing, in the general's opinion, which troops can be used?"
