Zhao Xuanji's words almost made Su Zhenting break down on the spot.

He glared at Zhao Xuanji with his eyes wide open, gritting his teeth and snarling: "Zhao Xuanji, you better think before you speak, don't just blurt things out!"

Zhao Xuanji frowned slightly, looking at Su Zhen Ting with an idiotic gaze, and said: "Your Highness has already explained the reason why you must go in person. General Su thinks that among the reasons Your Highness said must be personally attended to, how many can you solve"

Su Zhen'ting said angrily, "Even if there are many reasons, it is absolutely not a reason for Your Highness to risk your life. Your Highness is worth ten thousand gold, and it can be said that the fate of the entire country rests on Your Highness alone. If there is any mishap or negligence, how will the court handle it How will the world handle it Have you ever thought about this, Zhao"

Zhao Xuanji answered quite directly, saying: "Of course I thought about it before supporting Your Highness. It's precisely because Your Highness is of noble status that to resolve this matter peacefully, it must be done personally by Your Highness. No one else's identity or status is sufficient. This is an extraordinary time, so extraordinary measures must be taken to solve it."

As for safety...

Zhao Xuanji turned to face Li Chen and bowed, saying, "Your Highness wishes to accomplish what ordinary people cannot, naturally you must bear the responsibilities that ordinary people cannot. Moreover, Your Highness is blessed by heaven and will surely turn misfortune into good fortune."

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "The first half of the sentence is quite reasonable, but there's no need to say the second half which is trying to get out of something."

"Having said that, Li Chen looked at Su Zhen Ting and said: "General Su, this matter is settled in my heart. There is no need to say more."

Even though Su Zhenning had a thousand words to say, he was completely speechless by Li Chen's statement.

He let out a long sigh and said, "His Highness has already made the decision, I can only do my best to cooperate and protect His Highness's safety. But I still want to advise Your Highness to think carefully, think carefully, and think again."

Li Chen nodded and said, "General's kindness, this palace understands."

After finishing his words, Li Chen said to Zhao Xuanji: "Governor, during my absence from the capital, the government affairs still need you to handle them together with the Three Ministries."

Zhao Xuanji showed no joy nor sorrow, and calmly said, “Your Highness, please rest assured, this old minister will ensure the state affairs remain stable.”

"The provincial governor has been administering the government for many years. As for his prestige, experience, or ability, this palace naturally trusts him implicitly."

Li Chen said with a smile, "A while back, Sheng Ling had written a letter suggesting that Zhang Biwu be appointed as the Minister of Internal Affairs in the Secretariat"

Zhao Xuanji's mind raced, and he replied, "That is true. The old minister believes that Zhang Biwu, as a Grand Scholar of the Cabinet, has assisted the old minister in handling court affairs for many years and has considerable experience. Now, all three provinces need capable officials to fill important positions. Zhang Biwu possesses both experience and ability, making him ideal for such a role. Your Highness, please grant permission."

Li Chen nodded, seeming to find Zhao Xuanji's words very reasonable.

Just as Li Chen was about to speak, Su Zhen Ting preempted him, saying, “Your Highness, I believe this is not appropriate.”

Li Chen pressed the words to his lips, looking at Su Zhen Ting.

Su Zhen Ting bowed and said: "Zhang Bimu is always stubborn and power-hungry. His reputation in the court is not good. This position of Minister of State Affairs should be reconsidered."

Li Chen said faintly, "General Su, you are overthinking it. Zhang Biwu is stubborn and willful, which shows that he has his own opinions and will not be indecisive. Besides, who in the court doesn't have ambition for power"Chapter 1246: Psychological Warfare
