Chapter 550: Su Zhen Ting's Request

filled with an air of solemnity. Though he was in the East Palace of the Crown Prince, Sān Bǎo suddenly felt a sense of oppression and tension akin to when he had faced the Emperor at his peak in Wǔy...Chapter 550: Su Zhen's Request

The news of a great victory on the front lines could not be kept secret.

Besides, Li Chen had no intention of hiding it at all.

Such a good thing, Li Chen couldn't even have time to publicize it, naturally he wouldn't intentionally conceal it.

So that day, the news of Da Qin Su Ping's Northern Expedition, defeating the Dong Ying and capturing their commander, Cao Chi Jing Erlang, spread instantly throughout the capital city. And this news was spreading across the entire nation at an astonishing rate.

The entire court was overjoyed.

At least on the surface, that seems to be the case.

Many officials and commoners wept when they heard the news.

The Qin Dynasty had been weak for too long, to the point where people were afraid of going to war. Every time they fought, they ended up losing.

Therefore, whether it was the military, officials, or ordinary people, they all lost the spirit and energy of the Qin Dynasty's establishment through force.

Once faced with conflict and war, seeking peace is always the prevailing voice.

Anyway, we can't win even if we fight. If we lose, we will not only have to pay money but also lose lives. Why bother fighting

This was a decisive victory. Not only did we win, but we won spectacularly. We captured the enemy's commander alive. From any angle, this outcome is a resounding success.

This victory caused the already intricate situation in the capital to suddenly become eerily quiet.

All parties withdrew and observed the situation, making no further moves.

It seems they all want to see what the East Palace and the court will do in the face of such a great victory.

At this time, Li Chen was reporting to the Eastern Palace, but he happened to meet Li Chen, who had already received the news in advance. Su Zhenting, who was having a drink at the table, pulled him in for a drink.

"A tiger father has no weak son, General Su. Your son truly has brought honor to this palace."

Facing Su Zhenti's toast, Li Chen raised his glass and clinked it with him, laughing heartily.

Su Zhen Ting was also beaming.

This was a great victory, excellent news for Li Chen and everyone involved.

And Su Zhendong felt even more pleased to see his son succeed.

"Although this battle had some twists and turns, it ultimately demonstrated the might that Great Qin should possess."

Su Zhen Ting said implicitly, "But, it is also thanks to Your Highness's appreciation and trust, otherwise that boy would definitely not have such an opportunity."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Right now, there are only the two of us, so there's no need for so much formality. If he wasn't capable himself, I wouldn't help him, and I couldn't lift him up."

The subtle change in tone made Su Zhenting realize that Li Chen might be about to say something heartfelt.

As expected, following Li Chen's words, Wan Jiaojiao, who knew and was more familiar with Li Chen, took the initiative to leave.

As for Gong Huiyu, she didn't appear before Su Zhen'ting at all.

Given her abilities, if she didn't want to be seen by anyone, apart from the Three Treasures, very few people would have the ability to find her.

After everyone else left, Su Zhen Ting suddenly stood up and bowed to Li Chen. “Your Highness, I have something to ask of you.”

Li Chen said with a smile, "What is this As I said, there's no one else around right now. Between you and me, there's no need to be so polite. Just tell me what's up."

Li Chen could say it was no trouble, that was because Li Chen's status was higher. Su Zhen Ting couldn't truly be without decorum.

So Su Zheting was indeed very serious and solemn. He first expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness... But the request I have made, Your Highness must agree to it."

"In this battle, Su Pingbei acted as the commander-in-chief. After leading his troops back to court, he should be rewarded by the imperial court. However, I request your Highness not to promote him or bestow upon him any title."
