With these thoughts in mind, Mu Houchu's gaze darkened.
"The Minister of the Ministry of Works, Li Shaoqing and the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard, Zhao Yan, can assist you if you encounter any challenging situations. I cannot provide guidance for everything as I am not in the capital. You should be able to bear this responsibility on your own," Mu Houchu said in a serious tone.
Chen Hanliang was a bit surprised. He never knew that these two were also Mu Houchu's men. The extent of Mu Houchu's covert influence in the Imperial Court is unsettlingly deep, to the point of being immeasurable.
Such a man is wasted as a Prime Minister, especially with this useless Emperor.
Chen Hanliang steadily bowed his fist in response: "Yes!"
"Go to the other table," Mu Houchu said, taking a sip of his wine.
Chen Hanliang was now a "person of the Emperor", and he obviously couldn't appear too close to Mu Houchu in public.
"Mm." Chen Hanliang raised his wine cup and left.
