Chapter 2193 I, Zhao Xuanji, don’t want to be a dog

Zhao Xuanji's words made Li Chen laugh.

He raised his hand and picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Xuanji. Li Chen said, "Actually, since before, I really can't imagine sitting with the King of Wu and chatting about the wind and moon."

Zhao Xuanji took the tea with a smile, took a sip to show his politeness, and then said, "It is up to people to do it. There is nothing impossible in this world. Your Highness is afraid that the old minister will sit down with others and chat with the others, and he will not want the old minister to sit on the wall alone to watch, so he had to go to the scene in person and pull the old minister to come together. He also enjoyed this cup of tea. He bought it with two million taels of silver. It is really ridiculous. But now this scene can only be said that your Highness is skillful."

"It's still very comfortable to hear flattery from the King of Wu." Li Chen glanced at Zhao Xuanji and smiled.

Zhao Xuanji smiled and said, "Your Highness should not call him the old minister as the King of Wu. It is safe to be regarded as the King of Wu, and the old minister is really not sure."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "What the King of Wu himself said is that the matter is done by man. The court has given you a throne. As long as the territory of the Great Qin in the world is the king, who can ignore it?"

Zhao Xuanji sighed: "I'm afraid the south is thinking about how to make the old minister retreat in shame and be king next to the dragon pond and tiger den. The old minister wants to live two more years."

"There is no real dragon and tiger den in this world? The King of Wu has been disturbing the storm for decades, let alone the mere land of Gusu? The King of Wu has become modest." Li Chen said.

Zhao Xuanji looked up at Li Chen and suddenly said, "Your Highness, you have never considered that the old minister came to Gusu and knew that he could not fight against King Wen, so he joined him and reported to him?"

Li Chen was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Zhao Xuanji to speak so bluntly today.

But since it is so straightforward, it is also a good thing. At least it means that Zhao Xuanji wants to talk to him frankly and unfairly, rather than saying some ambiguous words on the endless maneuver.

Li Chen thought for a moment and replied, "So no matter how much money others spend, you can't buy this throne. In the world, you can only spend two million taels of silver to buy this throne."

Zhao Xuanji raised his eyebrows slightly.

Two million taels were the ones that Zhou Ping'an quickly returned from the front line when the money house was in crisis and came to him for negotiation with major political tasks.

The condition at that time was this throne.

Looking back now, I simply thought that Li Chen was desperate and used any means. This view is really superficial.

The truth is that Li Chen killed two birds with one stone. He used the throne as bait to allow himself to pay for the crisis of the money house, so that the court would not go bankrupt and the people would not be in chaos. The second bird was the title and fief of King Wu, which made him and King Wen share the same power. This is almost the version of the two peach kills and three soldiers in the Qin Empire.

It seems to be a ruthless and direct political method, but behind it is Li Chen’s ultimate understanding of himself and his deepest analysis of people’s hearts and desires.

Li Chen's answer is still the same.

Others can't buy it because others may really be in a situation where they are in mingling with King Wen, which is a devastating blow to the court, but Zhao Xuanji cannot.

He was a dog for Li Chen and his son all his life. It was because he didn't want to be a dog anymore that Zhao Xuanji wanted to usurp the throne. When he arrived at the fiefdom of Gusu, Zhao Xuanji had absolutely no possibility of being a dog for King Wen again, which was absolutely impossible!
