"So, when will it all go down?" She struggled to speak, her throat tight.
"It's unclear. As you have seen, the current emperor is not a mediocre, helpless ruler. He is astute, hardworking, devoted to strengthening his rule, frugal, and loves his people. He has the military power of the Imperial Palace in Capital City firmly in his hands. Also, there are many top-level experts in the palace. An attempt to forcefully depose the emperor and kill him is not a viable path."
"The other option is to seize the opportunity when there is a disaster and rebel, working our way from the local territories to Capital City."
"If a war breaks out, this stash of treasure will undoubtedly be needed."
"So, it's an indefinite wait." With a sigh, Tong Sanlang concluded.
Qiao Xiaomai "..."
Damn, so this is like a sword always hanging over her head, an indefinite torment!
"Does the Prime Minister know about this treasure?" She ventured to ask.
