After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Tong realized that this problem was not something he could solve. However, he was already involved in it, and if he didn't get to the bottom of it, he couldn't stay out of it.

Then gritting his teeth, Chen Tong got up and returned to the Dongchang.

After a short while, San Bao received Chen Tong in the study.

"General Chen just returned from the Xishan Province and came to look for our factory master right after leaving the East Palace. But what instructions does Your Highness have for General Chen to deliver" Sanbao bowed respectfully, his words and mannerisms full of courtesy. There wasn't a hint of the domineering attitude he used to have towards his subordinates.

Chen Tong's face flushed red and then pale. He walked up to San Bao, raised his hand and bowed deeply, saying sincerely, "Please, Master San Bao, save me."

When the three saw this, they were speechless. They hurriedly helped Chen Tong up and asked, "Chen Commander, is there anything difficult You don't have to be like this, just tell me, Master Guan will definitely help if he can."

Chen Tong gritted his teeth and said, “Master Chen, I was indeed carried away with pride some time ago, please forgive me.”

Sānbǎo smiled and waved his hand, saying: "It's nothing, nothing. Who hasn't been youthful and impetuous before The Commander-in-Chief has now earned the trust of His Highness, he should die for him."

Chen Tong was restless and impatient at the moment. He had no patience to play riddles with San Bao. He said, "Today I have indeed encountered a difficult matter. I have a premonition that if it is not handled well, I will end up shattered to pieces. But being in the midst of it all, I still can't see clearly. I beg you for guidance, like sending charcoal in the snow. I will never forget your kindness, and I will certainly repay you generously in the future!"

Immediately after, Chen Tong spilled the beans about everything that had happened today....

San Bao narrowed his eyes slightly and listened carefully.

Once Chen Tong was finished speaking, the three treasures also had about the same number.

Chen Tong's advantage over the Three Treasures lies in his youth and the absence of the shadow of a great emperor. For Prince Li Chen, he is a more usable and trustworthy person.

And Sanbao had far too many advantages over Chen Tong.

political acumen, cunning, astuteness.

These skills, essential for survival within the Imperial Palace's inner court, had long been mastered by Sān Bǎo to perfection.

So the problems that troubled Chen Tong were crystal clear to the three treasures.

After a moment of thought, Sanzang glanced at Chen Tong's anxious expression and smiled faintly, already having a plan in mind.

"You're being naive about this."

Sambao didn't beat around the bush and explained, "Long Tiande contacted you with a message. This isn't strange because he's afraid. He's afraid that the court, in its anger, will raze the entire Xishan province to the ground. After all, with both natural disasters and rebellions happening now, if they use such drastic measures, at worst, the court will have a hard time for another two years. Your Highness can tighten your belt. If it can be done, even a weakened court is not something that a few local bigwigs and militia groups in Xishan province can oppose."

So Long Tiande was scared, and the gentry and wealthy landowners of Xishan Prefecture were even more scared. This was all achieved just by sending out one Zhao Heshan from the prince's side. If the imperial army really did come to put pressure on them, would Long Tiande still be able to maintain his arrogance

"Long Tiande hopes to negotiate with the imperial court, or perhaps with Your Highness."

"The problem is, since he's negotiating, he needs to maintain his position and keep as much power and benefit for himself as possible. Ideally, he wants to continue being the 'king of the hill' in Xishan Province."

“So he sent you a message, dispatched an envoy, yet did not appear himself.”

"If the prince were to see this envoy, no matter what they discussed, this action alone would mean that the prince acknowledged that Long Tiande was capable of negotiating with him on an equal footing."were talking and laughing loudly, oblivious to those around them.
