thousand Iron Wolf Guards are now assembled fifty miles outside Yueya Pass. Behind them are a full six hundred thousand of the Liao Kingdom's most elite soldiers."They were all waiting for me to brin...Chapter 952: Blessing

He himself was well aware that, whether it was the proclamation or the current confrontation between the two sides, they were all just episodes. In the end, it would still come down to a clash of arms.

And today, he met people who came from the Jin Kingdom.

Zhao Xuanji's last words aroused Li Yinhou's vigilance.

"Visitors from the Jin Dynasty"

Nodding, Zhao Xuanji said: "I don't know what he told the Jin people for now, but the Jin people who came are in the inn."

Li Yinhu asked: "Is it possible that he brought in the Jin to help him deal with us"

"Yes."

Zhao Xuanji nodded and said, "Before the truth comes out, any possibility cannot be ruled out, it's just that this possibility is unlikely."

Unlike the Jin dynasty, which had little influence on Da Qin and never made any significant moves within its borders, the Liao dynasty posed a greater threat. The Jin were simply not strong enough to interfere in Da Qin's succession of rulers; their primary concern was the Liao dynasty.

Li Yinhu's eyes rolled, and he asked, "Lord Elder, should I get in touch with them"

Zhao Xuanji looked at Li Yinhu and said, "What do you want to do"

Perhaps there might be some opportunities. At the very least, we could find out what the Crown Prince discussed with them, so we wouldn't be completely clueless." Li Yinhǔ suggested.

Zhao Xuanji thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Alright, just be careful not to overstep your boundaries and expose yourself at the East Palace."

Li Yinhu immediately nodded and said, "Rest assured, sir, I know what's at stake."

Next, all the officials of the Cabinet and the Imperial Court will go on strike, halting government affairs. This will first create chaos in the officialdom. Once the officialdom is in chaos, the people will naturally follow suit. With no one from the government at work, arson, murder, and robbery will immediately increase. All this pressure will be transferred to the East Palace.

Zhao Xuanji stared at Li Yinhou, and said in a deep voice: "And at this time, you must stand up, to win the hearts of the people, and establish your reputation as a virtuous person in the eyes of the commoners."

Li Yinhu hurriedly asked, “What exactly should I do”

"Best wishes."

Zhao Xuanji said: "Your Majesty is unwell. As a son, you should hold a grand ceremony to pray for Your Majesty's health. Only then will the people see your filial piety. The Qin Dynasty governs with filial piety. Only by letting people see your filial devotion will they support you."

“I have already arranged for the specifics. Tomorrow, you just need to walk from the palace to Jingshan Temple in the most devout manner to pray for blessings. Someone will naturally spread the word about your filial piety at that time.”

Li Yinhu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he bowed respectfully: "The Elder is indeed considerate."

Go.

Zhao Xuanji waved his hand and said, "Go back and rest early to prepare. I'm going to rest too. After decades of hard work, these two days are finally a chance to relax."

Li Yinhu respectfully said, "Then I will take my leave. Elder Ge, please get some rest early."

Leaving Zhao's residence, Li Yinhǔ did not return to his own palace but went straight to the inn.

He didn't expect that before he could even meet the Jin people at the inn, he was stopped by the Dongchang.

"My Lord, please stay."

A middle-aged man's voice came, Li Yinhǔ raised his eyes and looked, but saw at the entrance of the post house, a strong and powerful man with eyes as sharp as hawks walked out.

Deputy Commander of the Jinyiwei, Chen Tong.

Li Yinhu narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Chen Tong walk up to him and bow.

"I am Chen Tong, bowing before Your Highness, King Zhao."s duty is to serve the country without regard for hardship. It is only that we have failed to repel the enemy, which brings shame upon Your Highness.""Though our manpower is finite, and the disparity...
