Chen Zhiwang sat cross-legged in mid-air, answering questions in turn:
“Do you all know who was the first to detect the impending crisis at Beixiong Pass? It was none other than Xie Jing, who later became the Left Minister.”
Chen Yi frowned in thought.
He had previously guessed that the battle at Beixiong Pass harbored many secrets, but he hadn’t expected his grandfather to startle him right from the outset.
“Grandfather, if the ministers in the court were aware of the situation at Beixiong Pass in advance, didn’t they inform the Holy Emperor?”
Chen Zhiwang shook his head and sighed, “At first, perhaps only Xie Jing was aware in the entire court.”
“The Holy Emperor might or might not have been aware, but judging from Xie Jing’s later promotion to Left Minister, it’s not hard to deduce that the Holy Emperor trusted him.”
“As for us… By the time we learned of it, Beixiong Pass was already in a desperate state.”
Chen Zhiwang’s gaze, however, did not fall upon Old Lady Chen and Chen Yi below, nor upon Chen Taixing, but instead looked beyond the ancestral hall, sighing with a sense of pining for worldly beauty:
“The so-called ‘conflict between the civil and military’ has always existed, but that time was the first I truly felt how vicious scholars can be without shedding a drop of blood.”
