"Hahaha--"
A burst of hearty and hearty laughter broke through the sky, filling the Prince of Yan's Mansion and lingering for a long time.
"Old Zhao, are you convinced now?" Yan Batian sat on the chair with an imposing manner.
Zhao Huaizhen sighed and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you have great foresight. I admire you!"
Yan Batian was not willing to give in and pressed the issue, "The Jingzhou incident has come to an end. Old Zhao, do you understand?"
Zhao Huaizhen was quite dejected, "Alas——"
"The prince has a broad mind. He can jump out of the chessboard without caring about gains and losses."
"But I can't. I can't let go of this interest. I'm afraid I will never reach such a transcendent state in this lifetime."
Yan Batian stood up, patted Zhao Huaizhen's shoulder with his broad hand, and laughed loudly: "Old Zhao, you're too deep into the game. You still need to learn from us."
"What did we say before? This little niece has someone behind her who is giving her advice, right?"
"Now, do you recognize this expert?"
Zhao Huaizhen smiled bitterly, "Who would have thought that among the imperial guards of Jingzhou, there would be such a genius as Li Yaoshi? Your Majesty truly has a keen eye for talent."
"However, what I admire most is Your Highness. He saw through the situation in Jingzhou at a glance. I am truly in awe of him!"
Yan Cetian patted Zhao Huaizhen's shoulder with his broad palm, shook his head, and chuckled:
"Old Zhao, you're too preoccupied. Even now, you still haven't figured out the situation."
"The person behind our niece is definitely not the leader of the Divine Strategy Army, Pharmacist Li!"
"What!" Zhao Huaizhen was shocked and exclaimed.
He frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't understand. He could only smile bitterly and asked, "Why do you say that, Your Highness? I am completely puzzled!"
This is the moment I've been waiting for.
Yan Batian plopped down on the chair and said smugly, "Old Zhao, it's a very simple truth. If our niece knew about Pharmacist Li's ability, she would have promoted him long ago. Why would she wait until now?"
Zhao Huaizhen speculated in a muffled voice, "Could it be that he wants to hide his weakness and wait until the situation is irreversible before using this as his trump card?"
Yan Batian shook his head: "No, our niece is capable of handling some government affairs, but she knows nothing about military affairs."
"Otherwise, the Sixteen Guards of Jingzhou wouldn't all be useless. How could the Second Brother have the guts to rebel?"
Zhao Huaizhen speculated again: "Could it be that Prime Minister Zhang's hidden hand?"
Yan Batian smiled and said, "That's possible, but those pioneering initiatives in government affairs are not something our little niece could have imagined."
Zhao Huaizhen also nodded: "Your Highness is right."
"Don't be so sure, think about who is behind our niece." Yan Batian smiled:
"I've been thinking about this for several days before I found this person. This person has supernatural powers and is unpredictable!"
"Hiss!" Zhao Huaizhen took a deep breath, "I never thought the person behind His Majesty would be so terrifying!"
"Who is it?"
"It's definitely not one of the nobles in the court, otherwise the situation in the court would not have degenerated to this point."
"Who on earth is this person who, with the body of a commoner, can stir up the world, turning clouds into rain with a flip of his hand!"
Even though Zhao Huaizhen racked his brains and searched his brains, he could not find such a person in the intelligence collected by the spies.
He could only bow his hands and said helplessly: "Your Highness, I am incompetent and I really can't think of it."
Yan Batian smiled slightly and uttered a few words: "The new number one scholar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Qin Yuan."
"Qin Yuan?" Zhao Huaizhen was stunned. "Qin Yuan, the magistrate of Jingzhou?"
"That's right!" Yan Batian affirmed.
"How is this possible!" Zhao Huaizhen couldn't believe it. "How could it be him?"
"Why him?"
"It's been half a year since His Majesty selected him as the top scholar. If he wanted to show his power, he would have already started to clean up the court."
"Why did you wait until nearly two months to take action?"
Yan Batian grinned: "At first I couldn't figure it out, but all the evidence points to him."
"Then we figured it out. He was planning this in the dark, not wanting anyone to notice him."
"This is his brilliance. He waited until he faded from everyone's sight before he began to make decisions!"
Zhao Huaizhen frowned, still somewhat skeptical, and asked in a serious tone, "Your Highness, why is it him?"
Yan Batian analyzed complacently: "It's very simple, because all the changes that have taken place in Jingzhou City are more or less related to him!"
"Mixed rice bran with sand was our niece's first move. At the time, neither you nor I took it seriously, and we even thought it was a way to death."
"Now it seems that it is too high."
"This is completely a foreshadowing of the 'work-for-relief' tactic!"
"Old Zhao, think about it again. Who is responsible for the work-for-relief program?"
Zhao Huaizhen replied, "Jingzhou Prefect Chen Wujiu and Jingzhou Sima Wei Wuyin."
"That's right." Yan Batian continued, "We know them both very well. They have some abilities and can be considered capable ministers, but they definitely can't come up with such a shocking strategy!"
"This means there must be someone else behind the scenes helping you."
"After that, my niece made another astonishing move. She sent the little-known Jingzhou Tongpan Qin Yuan and Li Yaoshi to quell the banditry outside the city."
"At the time, no one was optimistic about it, and some even thought it was a way to death."
"But what's the result?"
Zhao Huaizhen nodded vigorously.
At the time, I thought it was a stupid move, and Qin Yuan also cooperated and escaped from the battlefield, but the result...
Now that I think about it carefully, Qin Yuan's actions to quell the rebellion were indeed incredible.
