Li Chen, however, didn't care whether Zhou Changshou laughed or not.

He was telling the truth.

He didn't care what others thought.

He only cared about what others thought and few people were worthy of his concern.

"You have been by King Ning's side for many years and know him well. What do you think are the chances of success for this plan"

Facing Li Chen's question, Zhou Changshou let out a light sigh and said: "If Your Highness were to find someone to stage a play, then there would only be a 30% chance. But if it were a real assassination attempt, the more dangerous it was, the greater the probability that King Ning would believe it, with a 99% certainty."

Zhou Changshou's words made Li Chen nod slightly. He then asked, "Does King Ning really want to rebel"

This is a very sensitive issue.

But Zhou Changshou had no choice but to answer.

"Think."

"And they had been plotting for a very, very long time."

"If he wants to fight back, this palace's third whip won't necessarily be enough."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes and said, “Can any of you guarantee he'll go all the way and finish the job”

"No."

Zhou Changshou denied it categorically.

“What the King of Ning wanted was a legitimate throne. Among all the vassal kings, he cared most about his reputation. He would never risk being condemned by the world and actually rebel.”

After all, we people of the Central Plains recognize legitimacy. He usurped power under the guise of a prince, so even if he succeeded, his claim would be illegitimate. That's why he has been waiting for an opportunity for chaos in the Central Plains for so many years. He controls the Northwest, giving him an inherent advantage. No matter how much the Central Plains region teeters, no one can ignore his power.

Speaking of which, Zhou Changshou sighed again and said, "Otherwise, Your Highness thinks, why was it King Ning who came to the Northwest and King Wen who went to Jinling back then, instead of the other way around"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen was speechless.

The fact that one can discern this indicates that the person's political acumen and vision are extraordinary.

His gaze had grown to encompass not only the arrangements made by the former Emperor during his ascension but even those implemented by the late Heaven-Origin Emperor in his waning years.

The bestowal of fiefdoms upon princes has never been a matter of simply summoning troops and acting whimsically.

The selection of fiefs for each prince would be made with great care, taking into account their individual personalities and abilities. Otherwise, it would pose a serious threat to the emperor, akin to raising a tiger only to be devoured by it.

And how many people in the world can truly understand the profound considerations behind the arrangements made during the succession of two emperors, all for the sake of maintaining a stable dynasty

The Zhou Changshou before me is one of the very few people.

Zhou Changshou's answer made Li Chen ponder.

After a moment, Li Chen said: "This matter, this palace still needs to consider carefully, but it is not without room for maneuver."

A bald figure flashed in his mind.

If one were to keep things simple and return home, this play performed by at least two Earthly Immortals wouldn't disappoint King Ning.

Even Li Chen himself didn't notice that his line of thinking had shifted from whether or not he could do this, to how he could do it.

Criminals love each other.

Even though Li Chen might deny it, in reality, he is a madman whose illness is no less severe than Zhou Ping'an's.

Just as Li Chen was still discussing with Zhou Ping'an how to trick King Ning, an hour had already passed.

Prince Ning waited impatiently in his palace for news, unable to stay put any longer.

After several inquiries, all of which yielded the same response that the Crown Prince was still in his room with women, King Ning sensed something amiss. He personally went to the brothel. of imperial power."As soon as these words were uttered, Li Yinhu's eyes lit up.In his view, Dantai Jingzhi's words seemed to indicate a reluctance to get involved in the struggle for imperial power....
