Chapter 815: Earned Too Much

The court suddenly fell silent, and after a moment the Crown Prince stepped forward and said, "From Bishui to the border, it's a full eight thousand miles. Even the lowest grade of road construction would be immensely costly and take over a decade to build. I believe this is a matter of national importance and must be approached with caution. We are still in confrontation with Ji Country and shouldn't indulge in major construction projects."

King Zhao said, "This is a wise statement in the affairs of state. Let's set this matter aside for now."

Li Chengfeng bowed his head and said, "As you command."

The Crown Prince skillfully concealed a trace of complacency in his eyes. Over recent years, his fourth brother had rapidly amassed a strong military force, expanding his influence swiftly, posing a threat to the Crown Prince's position; thus, he remained extremely cautious of him.
