Seeing Zhao Xuanji walking toward the palace gate, the ministers who had been turned away before looked at each other and chose to remain silent.
"Zhao Shoufu."
The guards guarding the palace gate were also feeling numb at this time.
The other ministers just stopped him, but Zhao Xuanji was different.
Even with the prince's instructions, the guard still felt guilty when he saw Zhao Xuanji.
After all, Zhao Xuanji has controlled the government for more than ten years, and his prestige is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"What? I can't go in either?" Zhao Xuanji asked calmly.
The guard said bravely: "Please forgive me, Chief Minister, I am just an errand. The prince has an oral order, no one is allowed to enter unless it is an edict."
"Asshole!"
Zhao Xuanji was furious and scolded: "Now that the emperor is in a coma due to poor health, and the ninth prince died suddenly in the palace, you are blocking me from entering. What do you mean?"
"If something important is delayed, can you afford it!?"
The guard's face turned pale with fright, but in the depth of winter, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He was so panic-stricken that he couldn't say a word.
"Get away!"
Zhao Xuanji shouted loudly, pushed away the guard, and said loudly: "I want to see who dares to stop me from entering the palace today!"
There was a buzz of people outside the palace gate. At this most lively moment, a sharp voice sang, like throwing a large ice cube into boiling water, and the situation instantly became quiet.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Zhao Xuanji's eyes were cold and he turned to look in the direction of the sound.
But he saw Li Chen hurrying over surrounded by a large number of royal guards.
"My lord, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Xuanji lowered his eyebrows and cupped his hands.
The other officials followed Zhao Xuanji and said together: "I, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chen patted a thin layer of snow on his shoulders and said calmly: "What's the fuss about?"
Zhao Xuanji remained silent.
Liu Baichuan, the General Affairs Secretary who had been stopped before, was eager to fawn over Zhao Xuanji. After hearing this, he immediately answered: "Your Highness, the Prince, we heard that the Ninth Prince died suddenly and rushed to the palace, but the palace guards did not
I know what your intentions are, but you dare to block me and other ministers of civil and military affairs from the door. Please punish me severely."
Li Chen looked at the pale-faced guard with cold eyes and said, "You were the one who blocked these ministers from the palace gate?"
The guard only regarded him as the prince and was unwilling to offend so many ministers and sacrifice himself. In despair, he said: "This is a humble position."
This guard was even prepared to be executed. He only hoped that the prince would remember that he was carrying out his orders and leave some pension for his family.
"very good!"
Li Chen's next words were like salvation, giving the guard hope in a desperate situation.
"What's your name and what's your position?"
The guard subconsciously replied: "My humble name is Xu Wei, and I serve as the captain of the Ouchi Guard Team."
According to the military system of the Qin Dynasty, those with at least 100 households are considered to be in rank. Below the 100 households is the general banner, and below the general banner are the brigade and squad. Three squads form one squad.
Therefore, this Xu Wei is just a low-level character who is slightly better than Datou Bing.
"Okay, from now on, you will be the imperial guard of Baihu, and you will be awarded the ninth rank. You will be responsible for the security of the Shenwu Sect."
After Li Chen finished speaking, Xu Wei, whose face was flushed with excitement, glanced indifferently at the civil and military officials who all looked as uncomfortable as eating flies, and said coldly: "Little one, the captain of the guard, Shang Zhi, acted as ordered. Why?"
, you ministers, all of whom are much higher in rank than him, but your brains are not as useful as his!?"
