Upon returning to his sleeping quarters, Zhao Yan furiously slammed items around. "That damned old fool! He treats me with a preachy attitude in every matter, parading himself as a so-called veteran official of three dynasties, so full of himself. I am the king now, how dare he act like this?"
Standing before him was Guo Kai, the man Zhao Yan trusted most.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger," Guo Kai said, trying to soothe him while sneering inwardly. "That old man is aged and won't live much longer. Besides, this is a great opportunity to get rid of Lian Po."
"How can we get rid of him?" Zhao Yan immediately asked.
Lian Po held immense prestige throughout the Zhao state. If he were punished simply for speaking bluntly, it would surely cause a huge debate across Zhao, and the impact on Zhao Yan would be severe.
