got up, her heart filled with fear as she said, "The servant was so engrossed that I didn't notice. Please punish me, Your Highness.""This palace is afraid you'll be bored, so I let you watch. Since...Chapter 775: Who Doesn't Have Their Own Agenda

Two guards exchanged a cold look, no longer daring to hesitate. One covered the middle-aged official's mouth, while the other dragged his clothes. The two immediately clamped down on the middle-aged official and dragged him away.

Upon seeing this, the courtiers were in an uproar.

On the other hand, Zhao Xuanji not only did not show anger, but instead revealed a smile that said "as expected".

In his view, Li Chen would never back down.

How many times has Li Chen failed to learn humility

This was his deliberate ploy to force Li Chen into a confrontation with the court officials.

A mere pawn, it matters little whether it lives or dies.

But the officials would not submit willingly.

Those neutral officials, under the threat of "lips dying and teeth getting cold," who would dare to rely on the East Palace

After the middle-aged officials were dragged away, Li Chen walked slowly onto the imperial platform and finally turned around beside the dragon throne.

He raised his hand to touch the armrest of the dragon throne. This was the first time, in all his many early court sessions, that Li Chen had come into contact with this chair, a symbol of supreme power over the entire land.

His tone was slow and powerful, his voice reverberating through the Taihe Palace.

"Whoever thinks that this palace was wrong to kill, speak up."

Those who have grievances in their hearts need not suppress them.

"Say what you want, this palace won't stop your mouths."

With a cold glance at the civil and military officials below, Li Chen said icily, "But, you made this palace unhappy, you yourselves don't want to have a good time either."

"This Great Qin Empire, it belongs to the Li family, not yours!"

In the Taihe Hall, there was deathly silence.

With a cold snort, Li Chen flicked his sleeves and turned away, leaving the Taihe Hall.

This time, Li Chen, with the absolute power of a prince, silenced all opposition.

But the absence of opposition doesn't mean everyone is satisfied.

Even many people harbor a deeper and stronger resentment towards Li Chen.

And this is exactly what Zhao Xuanji wanted to see.

In Zhao Xuanji's view, Li Chen was ultimately still too young.

He just pointed the finger at all the officials, which emperor doesn't know Does the Great Emperor not know

Knows everything.

Everyone knows.

But why can't it be solved.

That's because this is human nature, something that can never be completely solved.

Who doesn't have a secret desire

Are all people saints

Even sages like Dantai Jing had their own selfish desires, didn't they

Therefore, emperors throughout history, including those of great stature, not only failed to resolve it but also avoided even mentioning it to prevent more intense conflict.

The youthful Li Chen blurted out, and even killed someone.

Then things became unusual.

From political struggles, it escalated into a fight for survival between the ministers and the crown prince.

No one wants to give up power, and no one wants to die.

So if you want to continue holding power and living a good life, the only option is to eliminate the other side.

Under the same circumstances, if the emperor were here, he would definitely not resort to such drastic measures.

Balance, is the essence of imperial art.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanji's mouth couldn't help but twitch upwards slightly.

It seems I can contact Yelü Shenxuan after the fact.

Li Chen's actions in the Taihe Palace had emboldened him.

As soon as Li Chen left, the Taihe Hall erupted in chaos. Most officials were denouncing the prince's brutality.

Just as Zhao Xuanji had anticipated, after seeing Li Chen's ruthlessness, the officials began to rebel spontaneously, whether out of fear or unwillingness.

Just then, someone couldn't hold back any longer.

" "

Su Zhen'ting, who rarely spoke in the Taihe Hall, suddenly reprimanded loudly.

"In my humble opinion, Your Highness, killing him was not only justified, but it was also long overdue!"ood Su Pingbei's plan.To seize the situation, he first had to clear himself and them of any suspicion of treason.Then, he used his own life as a bargaining chip to secure the lives of the soldiers beh...
