Chapter 951: He Is Very Capable

He sensed the killing intent in Li Xuanya's eyes.

Liu Zheng really did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"What new love? Don't talk nonsense."

Liu Zheng hurriedly explained.

Although he had not yet promised Li Xuanya anything to her face, such a woman, so infatuated with him—how to put it, Liu Zheng was a man after all, and he truly could not refuse the devotion of this number one beauty of Joseon.

"Still saying there isn't one! You came all the way back with her! The whole Joseon Dynasty knows about it!"

Li Xuanya was on the verge of tears.

It would be one thing if you said you liked Xie Chan; you two have been through life and death together, and Xie Chan truly possesses immense personal charm, which even Li Xuanya herself admits she cannot compare to. But after rejecting me countless times, you are actually walking so closely with a Joseon beauty—this, this, this...

Liu Zheng was amused by her, especially when seeing Li Xuanya's teary-eyed appearance, and he couldn't help but say: "Are you silly? How could she compare to you? We just met on the road and helped each other out, that's all."

"Huh?"

How could she bear it in her heart!

First publication website:

How could she have the face to go out in this Joseon Dynasty!

Then, perhaps feeling she had acted too brazenly, her face suddenly flushed red, and following that, she gave a silly smile and turned to run away.

Before running off, she didn't forget to roll her eyes at Liu Zheng: "Young Master, Xuanya believes you! In this life, wherever you go, Xuanya will follow you!"

Because these words were spoken by Liu Zheng with his head lowered, they naturally carried a sense of deep affection.

Li Xuanya heard these words, froze for a moment, and then jumped up in excitement: "Is it true, Young Master, you..."

Young lady.

No matter what, I cannot take you with me.

After saying this, she could no longer suppress her shyness and ran off without looking back.

Liu Zheng watched the cheerful Li Xuanya, feeling quite unsettled in his heart.

The Westerner Party was the side that wanted a curfew.

Therefore.

The bustle of Hancheng continued unabated.

Liu Zheng's arrival had effectively torn away the final bottom line between the Westerner Party and the Southern Faction; the Duqi and Duwei were fighting in the streets every single day. In any case, they wouldn't kill anyone; they would either forcibly seal this shop or that shop, resisting the law enforcement of the Duqi. Both sides still maintained a certain level of rationality, which was that no matter what, no bloodshed could occur.

It was too chaotic.

Li Tun listened to the report from the Eunuch regarding the situation in Hancheng over the past few days, and he finally let out a long sigh.

All of a sudden, the Southern Faction had regained the support of the people. As the saying goes, the people are forgetful. Previously, when the Southern Faction was relentlessly suppressing the Xie Clan's *Southern Expedition*, they were the ones most fiercely cursed by the people. Now, it was fine; the Southern Faction stood on the side of the people once again.

It was chaotic.

It seemed that from the farce in Hancheng over these past few days, one could see the chaotic situation of the factional struggles in the Joseon Dynasty over these years.

Yes, this was a microcosm of over a hundred years of factional struggle.

It was chaotic.

It is too chaotic.

Chaotic?

Chaos is a good thing.

Over these years, how has this Joseon Dynasty been any different? One side finishes singing and another takes the stage? Extremely chaotic, you kill and I block.

A sentence Liu Zheng had once said suddenly flashed through his mind.

Since it is chaotic,

Then simply grab it firmly and crush it into pieces.

The more chaotic it is, the better you know how to govern it.

What is to be feared is not chaos, but mutual compromise.

Is it time to end all of this?

For the sake of the Joseon Dynasty.

Destroy and then rebuild.

Li Tun gave a bitter smile, bracing his portly body as he paced back and forth.

What does relinquishing power even matter?

He truly did not want to watch this exhausting drama for even one more day.

For a better Joseon Dynasty.

Relinquishing power...

Constitutional Monarchy.

Inside, it detailed the current situation of the Joseon Dynasty and the benefits that a Constitutional Monarchy could bring to the Joseon Dynasty.

"Your Majesty."

Queen Inhyeon appeared by Li Tun's side; seeing the increasingly haggard Li Tun, she felt even more heartbroken. Following Li Tun's gaze, she saw a pile of dossiers left for him by Liu Zheng resting on the table.

Vice Minister Liu is very attentive.

As Li Tun read on, he would firmly believe that a Constitutional Monarchy was the only way out for the Joseon Dynasty.

As well as the corresponding institutions and laws that should be established for a Constitutional Monarchy.

It was very complete.

The two of them had reconciled this time, and the mutual support they had shared in the past made their feelings even deeper.

"I am here, Your Majesty."

"Oh, Queen"

Li Tun smiled slightly, allowing Queen Inhyeon to support him.

Li Tun sighed, and the two walked out together, strolling through this Wanggong.

Queen Inhyeon and Li Tun had been married for over twenty years; judging by Li Xuanya's age, it was certainly no less than that. Their relationship had originally been very good, only for those troubles to arise after the appearance of Zhang Yuzhen. Now, Zhang Yuzhen had been demoted once again and would never be able to rise again.

Queen Inhyeon smiled softly.

"Accompany Mandarin for a walk."

Luxurious.

The majestic Wanggong was built in every detail according to the standards of the Dragon Flame Dynasty.

Cui Xishan had also completed her mission, but she still held some status in the inner palace.

Li Tun walked slowly like this, quietly watching everything in this Wanggong.

Queen Inhyeon also appeared elegant and noble at this moment, a happy smile on her face.

She knew that the King's heart had returned.

Those palaces, those rockeries, those gardens, those pools of flowing water.

The two walked while supporting each other.

Because what Li Tun was thinking about was another matter entirely.

This seemingly elegant, grand, imposing, and solemn Wanggong might very well become a cage in the future.

It is just that.

This heart was now burdened with too many thoughts.

In the first half of his life, was this place not already a cage? In his Yangxin Hall, he watched the Western Faction rise and the Southern Faction fall, the Southern Faction rise and the Western Faction fall.

He was tired.

A true cage.

However.

By the time he finished walking through the entire Wanggong, he was exhausted.

"Your Majesty."

He suddenly felt much more weary.

He held Queen Inhyeon's hand tightly, saying nothing.

"Queen, what do you think of that Vice Minister Liu?"

Li Tun sat on a stone bench and asked softly.

Queen Inhyeon did not know the sorrow in Li Tun's heart at this moment, nor the decision he was about to make that would shock the world.

She only felt that her husband seemed to have seen through some things.

Queen Inhyeon gave a bitter smile.

She did not want to lie to Li Tun, but throughout this journey, his understanding of Vice Minister Liu was that he was a man rarely seen in this world; let alone Li Xuanya, even she could not help but feel a ripple in her heart when seeing Vice Minister Liu's strategic mastery.

Queen Inhyeon's delicate body trembled, and she did not speak.

Li Tun laughed loudly: "Mandarin understands, Mandarin understands."

Li Tun nodded: "He is very formidable."

Queen Inhyeon remained silent.

Of course.

That was purely a ripple caused by some beauty in this world.

Queen Inhyeon continued to remain silent.

But this time, she took a deep breath.

Li Tun continued: "He grasped every person's heart, he grasped every opportunity, he grasped every situation, he grasped every..."

Speaking to this point, a look of frustration flashed in his eyes; he drank some water and slapped his thigh, laughing: "Queen, everything."

Yet he did not stint his words in praising Vice Minister Liu.

This is to say.

As Li Tun's wife, she knew that Li Tun himself was a person of deep hidden motives.

But at this moment.

He was completely resigned.

"Queen, from now on, it will just be the two of us, relying on each other to survive."

Li Tun gave a miserable laugh.

"Your Majesty, to your subject, this should be the most beautiful thing in the world."
