Zhao Xuanji listened to Fu Yuzhi's words and slowly nodded in agreement.

Fu Yuzhi pondered for a moment before continuing, "If we look at this from an objective standpoint, although Dantang Jing's entry into government service came as a surprise to us, it's not entirely a bad thing. At the very least, it gives us something to work with."

With a light smile, Fu Yuzhi said, "The East Palace doesn't have much political resources at the moment. It only has half of the Ministry of Revenue, half of the Ministry of Works, and one Ministry of Punishments. But the rest is beyond its control. The problem is that he has two powerful generals under him: Su's family represents the military, and Dantai Jingzhi represents the scholar class."

"While being well-rounded in both literature and martial arts is certainly a good thing, with limited resources available, how should they be allocated"

Once the resources are not distributed evenly, we don't have to do anything, Su Zhenti and Dantai Jingzhi will automatically clash between themselves.

“As for our prince, he's a warmonger through and through. We can see this from his forceful expedition to the Xian Dynasty. He favors generals, so many military leaders have a good opinion of him.”

"Sensory enjoyment can be put aside, but monthly salaries for soldiers and promotions for generals all require resources. Whether it's his official duties or any other ventures, Daitai Jingzhi requires resources. How much could the Eastern Palace afford to spend on supporting these two major figures"

"What is called misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and what is called a blessing may bring misfortune. This is the hidden danger of the East Palace. As long as we guide it properly, this matter will be enough to give the head of the East Palace a headache."

Zhao Xuanji turned his head to look at Fu Yuzhi, who was eloquently talking, and said, “Fu brother, do you have a good plan”

Fu Yuzhi let out a light chuckle, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes as she said in a low voice, "The good plan lies within Xian Chao!"

"I await the thoughts of Dantai Jingzhi, who has always opposed military action and advocated for peaceful diplomacy and governance through literature."

Moreover, in the court, regardless of their stance, almost all civil officials opposed this war. It was entirely driven forward by the Crown Prince, with the strong backing of Su Zheting.

If the war goes well, that's fine, but what if we lose

When the Eastern Palace implements this war, if it is as ruthless as it seems, then the backlash he will face will be equally strong. There is no need for you and me to say more; Dantai Jingzhi will inevitably be the first to demand a retreat of troops.

"To know, a person's stance can change, but his thoughts cannot. So Dantai Jingzhi will surely take this step."

"Once he took that step, he would immediately stand opposite Su Zhentig. How to handle it This was a big problem for the East Palace."

After a moment of silence, everyone seemed lost in thought.

Wang Tenghuan thought what Fu Yuzhi said was very reasonable, but a key issue was not made clear.

How to make the battlefield a defeat for the fresh troops

Fu Yuzhi, with a light and airy tone, said: "It's simple. Just replicate the Jade Gate Pass tragedy from back then, send the intelligence to the Land of the Rising Sun, and they will know what to do."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.

The Yumen Pass Massacre, involving tens of thousands of lives, is something they too choose to ignore.

And now, if another battle were to be fought, let alone anything else, it's hard to say how many of the tens of thousands of Qin Empire soldiers who charged forward would return.

Zhang Biwu frowned and hesitated: "That's tens of thousands of lives..."

Fu Yuzhi said fiercely, "We've already done it once, so what difference does it make Can you, Zhang, stand by and watch the East Palace gain power To be blunt, if this continues, once the emperor dies, the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, how many days will we have left"Chapter 1410: Was That a Monk or a Thief
