Fan Li's matter was settled for the time being.
After all, Xiao Tianyang himself had been the instigator. He could not possibly send Fan Li straight into the line of fire.
Besides, Fan Li had not encountered any real trouble. Put plainly, he was merely in a poor mood.
As long as the war proceeded smoothly and the plan reached a satisfactory conclusion, the burden on Fan Li's shoulders would naturally lighten.
Of course, the plan had only just taken its first step so far.
If he could not withstand even a little pressure, it would only mean that his abilities were lacking.
Xiao Tianyang, for example, had once gone through a period of confusion, but had he not ultimately emerged from it with Zhang Liang's help?
With Fan Li's wisdom, he would not lose his head. At most, he would feel somewhat frustrated.
And the best solution was to let him regulate himself.
If Xiao Tianyang intervened, it would instead be easy for Fan Li to develop unfounded pressure.
In short, he did not need to concern himself with Fan Li's affairs.
After all, how could someone capable of managing an entire nation's economy be too fragile?
Xiao Tianyang wrapped up his conversation with Xiao He within half an hour and prepared to begin his work for the day.
However, just as he picked up the first document, Xin'er's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Your Majesty, an urgent battle report has arrived from the eastern battlefield."
Xiao Tianyang seemed to have sensed something and immediately said, "Bring it in."
Xin'er placed the jade slip on the desk, then very consciously withdrew.
Xiao Tianyang paid no attention to her little gesture and reached out to pick up the jade slip from the table.
There was not much content within
