Before Zhou Xiang could finish speaking, Chen Zhennan reached out and interrupted him.
"Zhou Xiang, if you can stay in the capital and carry out reforms according to my methods, it will be a blessing for the people of Da Wu. Distribute land to the people of the capital and set an example. The reforms will proceed smoothly. Do not refuse."
After hearing what Chen Zhennan said, Zhou Xiang finally agreed.
"Since the commander trusts me so much, I am willing to serve as regent and remain in the capital to work for the well-being of the people of Dawu in accordance with your reforms."
The atmosphere inside the hall became even more tense, with everyone speculating about Chen Zhennan's true intentions.
Chen Zhennan's decision undoubtedly placed a heavy weight on the scales of power, forcing everyone to reconsider their stance and future.
"Very well, since that's the case, you shall take charge of the affairs of the Great Wu Kingdom."

"Chen Zhennan, you just said that the Great Wu Kingdom was destroyed, but then you made Zhou Xiang the regent. What do you mean by that? With such a good opportunity to unite the Great Wu and the Great Yan Kingdom, you are indecisive. You are not even as good as a woman like me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhennan laughed instead of getting angry: "Yun Yang, I'll give him whatever he wants. My plans must not be rushed. He's just a regent; even if Zhou Xiang ascends the throne, what can he do?"
Song Yunyang lowered her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly understood what Chen Zhennan meant.
