Even if the emperor's favorite concubine is met by the imperial court official, she will only call herself a minister or a lower official, rather than a minor minister.
Combining the current situation and Li Chen's age, although Zheng Baorong did not reveal Li Chen's identity, his identity is already obvious.
Hu Gandang, who was still conscious, looked at Li Chen with wide eyes, only fear in his eyes.
At the same time, there were only two words left in Hu Gandang's mind: It's over.
After all, Zheng Baorong confirmed the suspicion in his heart that he didn't dare to think about.
The young man in front of me is the Prince of the East Palace!
It's ridiculous that they still call themselves the East Palace Faction, thinking that no one in the court dares to provoke people from the East Palace Faction, but they didn't expect that they would bump into the real master today.
His hands and feet were cold, and Hu Gan thought he was completely stupid now.
Not only was he stupid, but the people watching outside were also stupid.
I don’t know who was the first to react. People outside cheered and knelt down.
The young and strong man from before had his eyes reddened and choked with sobs: "Please, Your Majesty the Prince, make the decision for us common people like us!"
"Please, His Majesty the Crown Prince, make the decision for us!"
Facing the stubborn resistance of Hu Gandang and Hu Ganwei, Li Chen did not change his expression.
Faced with Zheng Baorong's grievances and pleas, Li Chen didn't even respond at all.
But now that the people at the door were kneeling down to beg him to make the decision, Li Chen couldn't sit still.
After getting up and walking to the door, Li Chen first raised his hand to help the old man who had answered several of his questions before, and said, "Dad, are you celebrating your birthday this year?"
The old man was so excited that his snow-white beard trembled, and he said: "This year, I will be seventy-two years old."
Nodding, Li Chen said: "It's a long time ago. According to the rules of this dynasty, anyone who lives over sixty years old will not be worshiped by officials. Those who live over seventy years old will not kneel before the court. I must never kneel down to me."
After speaking, Li Chen said to other people: "Get up, everyone."
Seeing the people getting up one after another, Li Chen said: "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation no matter what happens today."
Just one sentence made the people happy.
At this time, a group of people came.
It was Chen Tong who came with the imperial guards around Hu Pi.
After all, Hu Pi was old, so he received special treatment and came in a sedan chair.
As soon as the sedan was put down, Hu Pi rushed out without even wearing his hat securely. He knelt down in front of Li Chen and banged his head on the ground.
!”
Because he was in such a hurry, he kowtowed so loudly that the official hat on Hu Pi's head, which he was not wearing, fell to the side, revealing his gray hair, which made him look a little miserable.
Li Chen looked at Hu Pi, who was lying at his feet, and said calmly: "Master Hu, I'm not sure if I'm late at night."
This sentence is more like a characterization of Hu Pi than a joke.
Hu Pi's body trembled and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, please spare the lives of my two children for the sake of my long service to the court."
