"No, Zhao Hanzhang is very courteous," Liu Yi paused, still unable to hold back his true thoughts, "Father, I think she is a person of great talent and virtue. In battle, she leads by example, and in governance, she cares for the people. To fight against her would probably require twice the military strength to win, and even then, it's difficult to govern the conquered land."
Liu Yi continued, "Books say that for such a person, respecting her and winning her over is better than suppressing her."
Liu Yuan sighed and said, "How could I not know? Sadly, I am already old, and she is too young. If it had been a few years earlier, we might have served in the same court and there could have been a chance, but now... it is already your era."
Liu Yi immediately said, "Father, you are in your prime, why speak so despondently?"
