In the Emperor's study...
A few trusted ministers and generals gathered as they listened to the Crown Princess talk about her plan to sent a few Elite members to enter Eastern Zhou through the waterway and headed to the palace.
The Princess has received some news that most of their general was getting ready near the borders. Therefore, the security around the palace has weakened. If they could capture the Emperor of Eastern Zhou and the rest of their family, their soldier will have no other choice but to surrender.
Although war could not be avoided, at least, they could minimize the casualties with this tactic.
However, the Crown Princess had never mention Lu Wei's involvement in this matter. Only the Emperor and General Jiang knew about the man's relationship. The Crown Princess managed to convince the others by saying that their priorities were to stop Eastern Zhou. Once Eastern Zhou was stopped, Qian Rong will have no way to act.
