“I…” Song Yunming paused for a moment, then pondered, “To be honest, I don’t know. It’s just a former subordinate who followed me through countless battles. The bond between us is too strong.”
Chen Zhennan was not surprised by Song Yunming's answer; it was only natural and nothing strange.
"Actually, if it weren't for me, Jiang Wenyu could have unified the country. He's quite capable. This is the result of different positions. If I were the emperor now, I would definitely execute Zhou Xiang. You should know that no matter how deep the bond, it's worthless compared to the hearts of the people."
Song Yunming nodded slightly after hearing this. The principle was not difficult to understand, but few people could actually put it into practice.

Wu Yunyin was quite confident until seven days later, when Song Xuan led an army of 300,000 to surround the entire imperial city.
At this moment, Wu Yunyin suddenly realized what was happening, but it was too late for her to change anything. She was trapped in the deep palace, helpless and at a loss.
Outside the city, Chen Zhennan stood on the mountaintop, looking at the capital city surrounded in the distance, and couldn't help but sneer.
