all the people of Gansu and Shaanxi. To capture them, we must go to their gathering points, which is easier said than done," Yelu Shenxuan frowned and said.His words meant that Yelü Shenxuan had agree...Chapter 1283: A Great Person Has Arrived

Li Chen looked for the imperial decree of Emperor Tianyuan to compare the handwriting.

Although Nangong Shouzhong wasn't that bold and didn't have a reason to fabricate such a convoluted and bizarre story, the matter was serious, so Li Chen had to be careful.

Soon, Wan Jiaojiao returned with several imperial edicts personally written by Emperor Tianyuan.

After carefully comparing it, Li Chen confirmed that the edict in his hand from Nangong Shouchong was indeed personally written by Emperor Tianyuan.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chen tucked the imperial decree away and turned to Wan Jiaojiao, instructing, "No one is allowed to touch this cabinet."

Wan Jiaojiao didn't know what it was that could make the Crown Prince so nervous, but she still obediently replied: "Understood, Your Highness. I will definitely not let anyone near this cabinet."

Nods, Li Chen said with some fatigue, "Today we'll stop here. No looking at the memorials today, I need to go back and rest."

Li Chen left work early, which made Wan Jiaojiao very happy. She asked excitedly, "Your Highness, are you going to the Hundred Flowers Hall or coming to the Yiyuan Hall"

"Come to the Laiyi Hall," Li Chen said.

Upon reaching the Lai Yi Hall, Li Chen sat cross-legged on a soft cushion. Su Jin Pa opposite him leaned down and adjusted the candle flame, making it brighter. Seeing that Li Chen was lost in thought, he asked, "Your Highness, is something troubling you Is it because today's banquet did not meet your expectations"

Su Jinpa naturally knew Nangong Shunchun's terms. She had only arranged for Nangong Shunchun and Li Chen to meet, and didn't know what the two of them talked about specifically. She just thought that their conversation wasn't pleasant.

Shaking his head, Li Chen said: “The effect is very good, it completely met expectations.”

"Having said that, Li Chen suddenly changed the subject and asked, “What do you think of my father”

This is a bit of a big deal.

To outsiders, it certainly sounds good.

After all, who in this world would dare to speak ill of the current emperor

But Li Chen came to the Laiyi Hall instead of the Baohua Hall, so he knew that Su Jinpa was not an outsider. She would give him a very fair answer.

As expected, Su Jinpa was caught off guard by Li Chen's question, but after a moment of thought, he replied directly: "Unfathomable."

Before Li Chen could ask further, Su Jinpa said: “Actually, I don’t have much impression of the Emperor. I only met him a few times when I was young. He seemed very gentle and wouldn't get angry easily, but people around him always feared him.”

"When I was a child, I didn't understand. He always spoke with a smile, and every time he saw me, he would pat my head and ask about my studies. If I answered well, he would laugh heartily and speak to me in a gentle voice. How could an uncle like that be so feared by so many people, even my father"

As I grew older, I think I understood. Because he was the Emperor, people had to be afraid of him, no matter how good-tempered or easygoing he was. It was simply because he was the Emperor that nobody dared not fear him.

But when I grew older, I truly understood that people feared him not just because he was the emperor, but because of his methods.

Su Jinpa tilted her head, her brows slightly furrowed, and said, "To be honest, in my opinion, throughout the entire Qin Empire, he is the first person to cultivate scheming and strategy to a level that is frightening."

His ruthlessness didn't lie in a ferocious expression, but in subtly influencing everyone around him.

His majesty did not lie in loud pronouncements, but in the silent thunder that could be heard. Though he spoke in gentle tones, his words carried the force of a thunderbolt.n let out a light chuckle and said to Zhao Xuanji in a gentle voice: "In your opinion, Your Excellency, the court now needs to relieve the disaster, restore people's livelihood, and revitalize all ind...
