Chapter 129 The Struggle Begins
"Since the court meeting has been cancelled, I will take my leave first."
Li Si said this, turned around and walked out.
Seeing that the prime minister had left, the other ministers did not dare to say anything more.
They put away their dissatisfaction and followed Li Si's footsteps to leave the court.
There were a few sharp-eyed guards in the palace who secretly took out their notebooks and recorded this scene.
They knew that today's turmoil in the court was probably just a harbinger of bigger storms in the future.
After the ministers left, Li Chen quickly walked through the empty corridor and came to the back hall.
He knocked on the door gently and entered the house after getting permission.
Fusu was sitting at the table with a frown on his face, obviously worried about court affairs.
"Young Master, the situation in the court is not good." Li Chen said straight to the point.
Fusu raised his head and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"I know. I didn't go to the court today. I'm sure the ministers are talking about it, right?"
"That's right." Li Chen nodded.
"The ministers were quite puzzled by your absence, and some even took the opportunity to express their dissatisfaction with your supervision of the country.
Although Li Si did not say a word, judging from his expression, he seemed to be observing the situation secretly.
Fusu sighed.
"I really lack experience in governing a country. For the moment, I can't think of any good countermeasures to deal with Li Si and others."
"Sir, avoiding battle is not a long-term solution."
Li Chen advised, “Although you chose to avoid the disputes in the court today, the problem has not been truly solved.”
"You can't escape the first day, but you can escape the fifteenth day. We must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."
Fusu smiled bitterly: "I have thought about seeking help from Xiao He, but although he is talented."
"I am also worried that he is helpless in dealing with this kind of factional struggle."
Li Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly took out a notebook from his arms and handed it to Fusu.
"Sir, this is some information I have collected recently. It may be helpful to you."
Fusu took the book in confusion and opened it.
It contains densely packed records of the movements, attitudes and possible weaknesses of the ministers in the court.
The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became, and finally he couldn't help but applaud.
"Li Chen, this intelligence is really well-collected! With this, I may be able to find a breakthrough."
Li Chen smiled slightly: "You are too kind, sir. This is just my duty."
“As long as you can find the right strategy, I believe we can turn the situation around.”
Hearing Fusu's praise, Li Chen felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
He knew very well that being recognized by Prince Fusu was the greatest honor for him.
"You are too kind, sir. It is Li Chen's honor to share your worries."
Li Chen said modestly, his eyes sparkling with admiration for Fusu.
Fusu smiled slightly and patted Li Chen on the shoulder.
"You did a great job. This information is extremely important to me."
"With it, I may be able to find a glimmer of hope in this court struggle."
After saying that, Fusu stood up and walked slowly to the window.
Looking at the blooming imperial garden outside the window, I took a deep breath of fresh air.
The incense inside the palace and the fragrance of flowers outside the window are intertwined, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Li Chen, accompany me for a walk in the garden." Fusu suggested.
"Yes, sir." Li Chen responded and followed Fusu out of the room.
The two strolled in the garden, surrounded by blooming peonies, peonies and roses, the fragrance of flowers filled the air, and butterflies danced.
Fusu's mood seemed to be much better as well.
"Li Chen, how do you think I should use this information to fight back against Li Si and others?" Fusu asked as they walked.
