Ye Daoyuan found Pei Xuanjing's proposal bold, but he also understood it was the most effective solution.
Since they couldn't resolve the current situation, it wouldn't hurt to handle the person causing it.
The situation was fundamentally a result of the struggle between the emperor and the empress dowager. As they sided with the emperor, the only way to solve this problem was to force the empress dowager to retire from the struggle.
A divine light flickered in the depths of Pei Xuanjing's eyes, he said, "You mentioned that the empress dowager is on the verge of breaking into the Realm of Heavenly People, didn't you? Why don't we seize this opportunity to encourage her ascension? It would be a good story."
"Encourage the empress dowager to ascend?"
"Yes, encourage her to ascend to become a Heavenly Ascender. In this way, there would be no cause for criticism."
"This...seems not bad."
