Emperor's mindset?
After contemplating for a long time, Chen Yuan ultimately declined; he had no interest in engaging in other matters. All he wanted was peace for a few months,
then have someone kill the Golden Envoy of Shuzhou and be appointed to a position in Shuzhou.
Afterward, he would start truly accumulating grain, building tall walls, and gradually ascend to power, steadily enhancing his own strength, then... waiting for the opportune moment to carve out his piece during the chaos.
If the chaos he anticipated didn't come, or came too late, he would, upon reaching a certain realm of strength, personally initiate this turmoil!
After rejecting Sima Ke's visit, Chen Yuan tidied himself up and prepared to visit Zhang Yantong.
Firstly, to inform him of his return; secondly, to hint at his willingness to be posted outside, so that he could naturally seek this once Shuzhou had a vacancy.
