Song Zelin finally came to his senses, and felt a wave of fear, with a layer of fine beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead.
He was so overwhelmed by this sudden "good news" that he didn't think about the mystery behind it.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the Prince of Pingxi has long harbored rebellious intentions?"
Li Chengfeng suddenly turned around: "I have already figured out Liu Zhenshan's attitude."
"When the late emperor was alive, he was loyal and devoted, because the late emperor wanted Li Chenghao to be the crown prince.
“Now that I have ascended the throne, he, the former Crown Prince’s grandfather, naturally has to stand up for his grandson.
"He handed over the military power only to put on a show for me, to paralyze me so that he could secretly accumulate strength and wait for the right opportunity to act."
Song Zelin's face suddenly changed. He took a step back involuntarily, clenching his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
What a good move of retreating to advance!
Although he had suspected Liu Zhenshan of having rebellious intentions before, he never thought that he would go to such lengths to do so.
If it weren't for Li Chengfeng's analysis today, he would probably have fallen into the trap of the old fox Liu Zhenshan.
What surprised him even more was that Li Chengfeng, at such a young age, could have such foresight and see Liu Zhenshan's intentions so clearly.

Song Zelin didn't know how to express the shock in his heart for a moment.
He was worried that Liu Zhenshan's move was just a test, and he was also worried that Li Chengfeng was young and impetuous and would really agree to Liu Zhenshan's request.
Now there is no such concern at all!
"Your Majesty... I am an old and foolish minister. I have never thought of this..."
He paused, then sighed, "Your Majesty is so young, yet so far-sighted. It is truly a blessing for us all!"
Li Chengfeng waved his hand, signaling him to stop saying such flattering words.
"Song Qing, do you think Liu Zhenshan did this just to test me?"
Song Zelin pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I, an old minister, dare not speak nonsense."
"But I am indeed worried that Your Majesty will get carried away and agree to his request."
"He was gambling, gambling that I would agree." A cold glint flashed in Li Chengfeng's eyes. "Unfortunately, he made a wrong bet."
"Your Majesty is wise." Song Zelin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Song Qing, don't worry,"
Li Chengfeng seemed to see through his thoughts and spoke calmly.
"He thought I was young and easily deceived.
"He is wrong. I understand him better than he thinks."
