As long as Command Foundation’s level rose and troops remained under his command long enough, loyalty was no longer a concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And army stream skills were mostly high-cost; reducing cost by 1 point seemed minor, but Command Foundation wasn’t limited to just its base tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder if summoning cost reduction applies to Blood Oath Covenants,” Chu Danqing muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d test it when he got the chance—if it worked, it would save him many Paradise Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his gains secured, Chu Danqing returned to his office to arrange follow-ups and handovers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held considerable power—if he wished, he could become an Ao Bai or Dong Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving without proper arrangements would trigger severe consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing could hold things together; others might not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, he wrote a list and a resignation letter, then went to see the young emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander Chu, you’ve come in such haste—is there an urgent matter?” The young emperor feigned surprise perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, I’m leaving,” Chu Danqing cut straight to the point, gesturing for the eunuch to deliver the resignation letter and list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stunned the young emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to reclaim his authority, but knew his repeated blunders had shattered his prestige—he still needed Chu Danqing’s support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Chu Danqing still had value; the young emperor dared not move against him until that value was fully squeezed dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander Chu, have I done something wrong? Please speak plainly,” the young emperor hurriedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty misunderstands,” Chu Danqing knew the emperor’s words were half-truth, half-deception, yet replied: “When the late emperor passed, I already intended to leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Your Majesty was young, and the Tai Chang dynasty faced bandit threats and internal unrest—so I stayed to assist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now the bandits are no threat, Your Majesty possesses virtue—gentleness, humility, and forbearance—and also the strength of thunder. You no longer need my aid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is time for me to depart,” Chu Danqing said, sounding noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth: You’re patient and bold now—here’s your power back. Play with it yourself. I’m done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young emperor fell silent as Chu Danqing placed the seal and official robes aside: “When I arrived, I already properly arranged the Imperial Guard, the Secret Police, and the Capital Garrison.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty only needs to send someone to take over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing had no intention of rebellion—he never cultivated loyalty, only handled affairs fairly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handled the cleanup well, and with imperial influence, the young emperor had no trouble taking over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Your Majesty feels indebted, perhaps you might give me something as a memento.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether much or little, I won’t turn it down.” Chu Danqing was demanding severance compensation; if the young emperor refused or offered something unsatisfactory, Chu Danqing wouldn’t hesitate to make his own arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young emperor came to his senses, realizing Chu Danqing’s resolve to leave, and immediately ordered the resignation letter, the list, and the imperial seal to be accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since Minister Chu is so generous, I cannot be stingy.” The young emperor paused briefly: “Go fetch the scroll of Grand Emperor’s ‘Discourses on Cultivating Correctness.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This scroll was written by Grand Emperor himself during his uprising, to correct the bad habits among his troops.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Later, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Renzong, and others added their own insights and teachings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now it is circulated only within the palace, used to instruct the Crown Prince and the Grand Heir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you seek a memento, this is most fitting.” As the young emperor spoke, a eunuch hurried off to retrieve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing intended to first examine this so-called ‘Discourses on Cultivating Correctness’; if it was a knowledge-type item, he would accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was merely an ordinary book, he would demand something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, it had to be a treasure-type item—after all, Paradise Points were hard currency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1675,"2026-06-20T00:54:40.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","dd51238afcd7c5bd6b936535d3ef23465a56bddba15897f243483677339500e2","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-131","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-129",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
