The Prince of Pingxi is planning a rebellion!
Zhou Yi was startled to his feet, staring fixedly at Zhou Ping'an.
"What qualifications does he have to rebel?"
It had been six years since the Orthodox Emperor's ascension to the throne, and with accomplishments like destroying kingdoms and expanding territories, all it would take was for him to show himself on the city walls, and the rebellious soldiers would defect back.
Zhou Ping'an said, "Father, haven't you already guessed it?"
"Within, there is the Empress Dowager; without, the King of the Northern Defense!"
Zhou Yi paced back and forth: "The prince's ascension to restore the old system and appease the court officials after quelling the clans has at least a fifty percent chance of success."
Zhou Ping'an suggested, "Father could send a message to His Majesty, issuing an edict to strip the Prince of Pingxi of his military authority!"
"His Majesty, he doesn't trust our family..."
