Moreover, he has come all the way from the capital city. He is the chief commissioner of the Tax Bureau, and his mission is to investigate taxes in Daoyuan Prefecture.

"Instead of letting him stir up trouble at the Ogawa Mansion in secret, creating unnecessary complications, Changshou thought it would be better to follow his wish and bring him directly before the Prince. This way, the Prince could at least take the initiative."

"Otherwise, once troops are deployed, facing the Liao army's iron cavalry will be us. Then, regardless of victory or defeat, we will suffer heavy losses. The military power that Your Highness relies on will once be broken, then his status will plummet, not to mention the future ambition to dominate the Central Plains."or your highness's proposal to select a young prince for future plans, the emperor flatly refused. The emperor said that even such a plan spanning over a decade failed, what use would be schemes spann...
