"Yes."

Zhao Xuanji affirmed Li Yinhu's evaluation of Li Chen.

He went on to say: "If that's the case, then with the emperor's passing and the crown prince remaining silent, he must be waiting for something."

His voice dropped to a low, devilish whisper as Zhao Xuanji addressed Li Yinhou: “He’s waiting until he’s eliminated both of us before announcing his ascension to the throne. That way, no one in the world will dare stand in his way.”

Even with the groundwork laid by the previous two instances, Li Yinhǔ couldn't help but feel a surge of disbelief upon hearing this. He stammered, "Impossible."

"Absolutely not."

Zhao Xuanji only felt that Li Yinhu's expression and answer were incredibly familiar, as if it had just happened.

"How is that impossible" Zhao Xuanji sneered in reply.

Li Yinhu interrupted, "Not to mention you and me, the current situation is that domestic princes are eyeing each other with suspicion. The previous natural disaster has left the imperial court weaker than ever before, and public opposition to the court has reached an unprecedented level of fervor. This has led to the expansion of ambitions among the various princes, especially those like King Wen. They absolutely would not stand idly by while a new emperor ascends the throne..."

"What can we do but watch"

Zhao Xuanji retorted, "Would it be openly rebelling if one did so under the guise of a prince"

Looking back over the thousands of years of Chinese history, each dynasty has reigned supreme for hundreds of years. There have been countless prodigies and brilliant individuals, as numerous as fish crossing a river or stars in the Milky Way. There have been many powerful feudal lords as well.

"The only one who successfully rebelled was the former emperor, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty. Even he succeeded because the young Emperor was weak and had little control, lacked support within the court, and possessed an ambitious desire to forcefully reduce the power of vassal lords. This led him to lose the hearts of the people. He took advantage of the situation, claiming that there were no loyal officials in the court and treacherous individuals within the palace, raising his army to eliminate them and secure the throne under the pretense of clearing the way for a righteous ruler."

Even so, from the day he ascended the throne until now, for how many years has he been seen as having obtained the throne unjustly and been reviled by the people

After taking a breath, Zhao Xuanji didn't give Li Yinhu any chance to think carefully, and immediately said: "With the prince's intelligence, wouldn't he know this So he must produce me out within the court, and then eliminate you, the only threat to his position among the princes."

"In that case, by then the treacherous officials in the court would have been executed, the eligible princes would be dead, and with the emperor's demise, he, as the Crown Prince acting regent, could ascend the throne. There would be no reason left to stop him."

Even a prince who wants to purge the court, what is there to purge

“With the methods of a prince, he would absolutely not rashly and forcibly subdue the vassal kings. In this way, the vassal kings would lose their basis for uniting. Besides, his control over court affairs has already far surpassed that of Emperor Jianwen in the past dynasty by an unknown number. Furthermore, with the full support of the Su family, his position on the throne will surely be as stable as Mount Tai!”

After this exchange, Li Yinhu successfully built a logical sequence in his mind.

Li Chen now wants to kill himself and Zhao Xuanji, then immediately ascend the throne.

Li Yinhu's eyes were full of panic that he couldn't hide. He exclaimed, "In your esteemed opinion, what should we do"

Under gentle guidance, Zhao Xuanji was pleased to finally hear Li Yinhu say what he wanted.

But on his face, he still had an unwavering and serious expression, and said: "Strike first!"

"The old man has already contacted a large number of like-minded people in secret. They are almost all influential, with some having military power. As long as the operation is carried out properly, an army of around 20,000 troops can be assembled in the vicinity of the capital in the shortest possible time."

What is lacking now is for King Zhao to ascend a high platform and give a call as a prince!gently and calmly.Most people knock on the door with three rapid knocks in a row, but this is actually incorrect.In ancient times, only death announcements would cause three rapid knocks on the door....
