t before Li Chen, shamefacedly saying: “We are incompetent and haven't come up with any leads yet. Please punish us, Your Highness.”"He deserves to be punished."Li Chen let out a cold snort and said,...Chapter 1522: Li Songru's Advice

"Since no one objects, it's settled then."

King Ning waved his hand and made a decision directly.

In fact, every general in the house opposed it.

But if one were to actually speak out against it, the only result besides being scolded by King Ning would be utter uselessness.

Everyone already has a pretty good idea about this.

All along, King Ning has been described as someone who holds absolute power, or, to put it more bluntly, is stubborn and self-willed.

Once he has made a decision, it is rarely changed.

The condolences from bystanders, while well-intentioned, could also breed suspicion.

For a long time, only one man named Zhou Changshou had changed this situation, but now the name Zhou Changshou has become King Ning's sore spot, naturally no one dares to touch it.

"You all leave now."

Ning Wang cast his gaze over the crowd, finally lingering on Li Songru before saying in a soft voice, "General Li Songru, stay behind."

The others left, each with their own thoughts. In the end, only Li Songru remained, standing still and waiting for the King of Ning's orders.

King Ning raised his hand and lifted the steaming teacup to his lips, taking a sip before saying, "Songru, I know you have many doubts and even grievances in your heart, but there are some things I cannot speak plainly. I hope you can understand my predicament."

Li Songru whispered: "Eleven years ago, this subordinate was persecuted by bandits and was about to die. It was the prince who saved this subordinate. The prince not only helped this subordinate avenge his revenge, slaying the enemies of blood sea deep hatred, but also gave this subordinate a new life. This grace is greater than heaven and earth, like being reborn. This subordinate does not dare to have even a trace of dissatisfaction with the prince, but there are indeed many doubts."

"Regardless of what this subordinate thinks in his heart, as long as the prince gives an order, this subordinate will definitely do his best to accomplish it."

These words made the King of Ning nod, feeling quite pleased.

King Ning put down his teacup and said, "Time reveals the true nature of a person. By my side, I still need someone like you, rather than those who are rebellious and have grown arrogant. Song Ru, you're quite good."

Li Songru bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, my attitude has already been made clear, and I will not change it. However, I still have two things to say. If they can offer Your Highness some warning, then Li Songru's efforts will not be in vain."

"You said so," Ning Wang said calmly.

“Your Highness, those who aspire to great things must consider one hundred steps ahead, contemplate fifty carefully, ponder twenty thoroughly, prepare for ten contingencies, and exercise utmost caution for another nine before taking even a single step.”

“Looking at the founding emperor of this dynasty, his life story is truly legendary. He can be said to be a child chosen by heaven. Even so, during the process of his rise to power, there were several times when he almost fell into disaster because of petty gains in front of him. It was only after several close calls that he survived and laid the foundation for the Great Qin dynasty for a hundred years.”

Thus, it can be seen that it is not easy to sit in that chair.

"The prince has ambition, and a large group of brothers are willing to live and die for him. But all the decision-making power is always in the hands of the prince. If the prince prospers, everyone prospers. If the prince falls, everyone dies."

Li Songru took a deep breath and suddenly knelt down, saying, "Songru dares to ask the prince to withdraw his troops and return to their barracks. I regret all agreements with the prince. From now on, Songru has nothing to do with the battle at Yueya Pass. The prince can reduce his army and wait for the prince to be defeated and return. Then we can plan to advance southward again, and finally compete for the Central Plains!"

"Thus, this is the right path!"

"Please reconsider, Your Highness!"

After finishing his words, Li Songru slammed his head against the ground with a dull thud.en dealing with Zhao Xuanji and sorting out the government for so long, but has never taken any action against the princes.Even if Prince Ning reached the capital with his claws out, Li Chen was still...
