Haojing Governor's Mansion, it was already dark at this time, but the lights inside the Governor's Mansion were brightly lit.
As soon as Li Chen arrived, Jin Yiwei had already taken over all the defense and security of the entire Governor's Mansion.
Although the original guards in the Governor's Mansion were confused, after hearing who was coming and what had just happened at the gate of the city, they all dutifully handed over their weapons one by one and were ordered to leave the house by the Jin Yiwei.
In the meeting hall, Li Chen sat at the top, where the mileage on weekdays was high.
Cheng Fuzhao, on the other hand, knelt down honestly.
Soon, most of the other officials who were qualified to listen to His Highness the Crown Prince's lectures, either willingly or forced, appeared in the meeting hall one after another.
"Is everyone here?" Li Chen took a sip of tea and asked.
Cheng Fuzhao turned his head and glanced at the scene, and then replied bravely: "Report to Your Highness, sir, most of the people have already arrived."
"Most? That's not all."
Li Chen put down the tea cup and said indifferently to Xiaochuanzi: "Bring people there. No matter what the reasons are for the officials who haven't come yet, since they haven't come tonight, they will never come again in the future."
Xiaochuanzi understood what Li Chen meant and immediately took the order and left.
This incident alone made the Gansu and Shaanxi officials in the meeting hall feel the cruel methods of His Highness the Crown Prince.
That is an absolutely ruthless master who can't get the slightest bit of dirt out of his eyes.
Li Chen waved his hand and the door of the meeting hall was closed.
The sound of the door slamming made many officials in the meeting hall feel infinite panic.
They don't know what fate awaits them ahead.
Tapping his fingers slowly on the table, Li Chen leaned lazily on his chair and said, "Something happened today. Some of you saw it with your own eyes, and some of you didn't. But here we are.
On the way, I must have heard some rumors."
"That's right, He Long, the commander of Gansu and Shaanxi, died at the hands of this palace. He was charged with treason."
"Over at the military camp, I have sent people to suppress you. As for you, I want to ask you a question today..."
Scanning the dozen or so officials in the meeting hall, Li Chen's eyes were as bright as lightning and he asked: "Is this Ganshan the Ganshan of the Qin Dynasty, the Ganshan of the imperial court, and the royal family of the Li family?"
Ganshan!"
In the previous few sentences, Li Chen's tone was calm, but this last sentence was mixed with three questions. Each question was like a thunderbolt above his head, making all the officials who were already panic-stricken tremble.
Without hesitation, the group of officials immediately responded: "From Gansu to Shaanxi, the officials and the people are united and loyal to His Highness!"
"From Gansu to Shaanxi, the officials and the people are united and loyal to His Highness!"
It wasn't until this answer was repeated three times by all the officials that Li Chen showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
He raised his hand to signal the officials to stop, and then said: "This answer is quite correct, but I also know that many people say one thing but think another thing in their hearts."
Without waiting for the officials to defend themselves, Li Chen continued: "But I don't intend to be too strict. When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are careful, there will be no disciples. I don't need you to have a breeze. I
What is important is that you recognize your position and identity, look down and see clearly which dynasty official uniform you are wearing, and who is carrying your salary in your pocket."
