So Li Chen knew that he had to do this, but the first premise was that he needed to have absolute authority and prestige in the court and the whole world.

This battle in the northwest will bring about the remnant Liao Kingdom in one battle, and bring about at least five years of peace on the frontier. This is Li Chen’s first step in establishing his authority.

It is also the most important step.

After suppressing Zhao Xuanji before, his prestige has been initially established. In addition, the new policy has been implemented, these two things are cultural governance.

The battle in the northwest is martial arts.

As long as both civil and military achievements are complete, Li Chen will have the fundamentals to promote tax reform.

However, the first premise of all this is to win this battle.

And win beauty.

On this side, Li Chen was thinking about how to fight this battle and how to advance the subsequent tax reform, the capital was not calm.

On the balcony on the second floor of a restaurant facing the street, Zhao Xuanji was wearing plain clothes and drinking tea by the railing.

On the opposite side, Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi are peeling peanuts.

The three of them were chatting together.

After a while, someone hurried upstairs, approached Zhao Xuanji's ear and whispered softly, and quietly retreated.

Zhao Xuanji lowered his head to drink tea and said lightly: "Let's go."

Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi, who seemed to be talking, seemed to be talking, but in fact they were all thinking about Zhao Xuanji, immediately stopped talking and looked at Zhao Xuanji.

"Xizhimen, who left half an hour ago, has probably reached the outskirts of the city."

Zhao Xuanji added another sentence.

Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi looked at each other and looked relieved at the same time.

Zhao Xuanji chuckled and said, "Why, is he putting you so much pressure? But after he left the capital, it made you feel as relaxed as the knife on your neck?"

Fu Yuzhi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that exaggerating, but his departure is not a bad thing for us at least."

"not necessarily."

Zhang Biwu shook his head, his gray eyebrows slightly locked up and said, "With his temperament, how could there be no arrangements? So we should act carefully."

“It’s certain to be careful.”

Zhao Xuanji said calmly: "The people in the East Palace are mainly pushing for national debts. What do you think?"

Fu Yuzhi said: "The government debt plan is related to the fundamentals of the war in the northwest. It seems that the East Palace plans to fight a big battle, but we don't know how to fight it. It's just that he can leave Beijing and go to the front line in person, and raise funds from the world in the name of government debt. His other ambitions are quite big."

After hearing this, Zhao Xuanji refused to comment and looked at Zhang Biwu.

Zhang Biwu said lightly: "War is not about governing the country, it is not about having money and confidence. In my opinion, he may have other purposes for this trip."

After both of them expressed their opinions, Zhao Xuanji knew it, but he did not follow the topic of the two, but picked up the previous topic.

"During this period, our most important task is to gather the hearts of the people we have dispersed before. I will be responsible for the Secretariat. As for the Secretariat, let's put it aside for the time being. In addition to the two of you, the progress is still too slow. You must hurry up."
