Although this episode of Tantai Jingzhi disrupted Zhao Xuanji's rhythm, it did not hinder Zhao Xuanji's steps to seize power.
On the contrary, it made Zhao Xuanji speed up his pace.
At this time, he no longer had the patience to wait and slow down, but directly pointed the finger at the most acute issue... to hold the prince accountable.
Su Zhenting's eyes were sharp and he stared at Zhao Xuanji with an expressionless face.
Zhao Xuanji was also looking at him, with a confident smile on his lips.
After decades of ups and downs in officialdom, Zhao Xuanji is really not afraid of Su Zhenting.
"The Holy Lord ordered the prince to supervise the country. His original intention was that the Holy Dragon's body was not in good condition and he could not handle the affairs of the state, so he asked the prince to start learning to handle the affairs of the state as soon as possible. This was originally a good thing, but the Crescent Moon Gate was lost under the command of the prince, which shows that the prince's ability is no longer enough.
We, the ministers and servants who govern the country of the Great Qin Empire and live on the emperor's salary, must not sit back and wait for death any longer, watching the foundation of our ancestors be destroyed in one fell swoop."
Zhao Xuanji's words were of a very high standard.
Everyone heard the meaning behind Zhao Xuanji's words, and everyone's heart was in their throats.
Sure enough, Zhao Xuanji continued to speak: "Therefore, I propose that the prince be temporarily exempted from the power of supervising the country."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an explosion in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Fu Yuzhi and others looked wild, as if victory was close at hand.
Xu Changqing and others were furious and wished they could rise up.
Tan Tai Jingzhi sighed again, shook his head, but said nothing more.
On the East Palace side, the first person who couldn't help it was Zhao Heshan.
"I cannot agree with Mr. Zhao's opinion!"
When Zhao Heshan opened his mouth, it was of great significance.
Zhao Heshan and Zhao Xuanji were already close relatives, not to mention that it was Zhao Xuanji who was responsible for Zhao Heshan back then. The two people later turned against each other and became a big joke in Da Qin official circles.
It can be said that the existence of Zhao Heshan was one of the few political failures of Zhao Xuanji in his life.
And it’s the brightest one.
Since Zhao Heshan resigned from the post of Chief Envoy of Xishan Province and quickly assumed the new position of General Administrative Envoy Si Tongzhengshi, although the two of them worked together in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they have never had any head-to-head confrontation, and they have not even said hello.
Pass.
But today, the two people named Zhao finally faced each other head-to-head.
"The power to supervise the country has always been an imperial power. It is given by the Holy Emperor to the prince to hand over the power of the government when he is on patrol in the Holy Mountain, seriously ill, or on vacation. Since ancient times, this power can only be granted or deprived by the emperor. No minister has ever been deprived of the right to supervise the country.
This is not only a violation of the following, but also contempt for the imperial power!"
Zhao Heshan's refutation is reasonable and well-founded.
Zhao Xuanji said indifferently: "Extraordinary measures should be used in extraordinary times. The Holy Lord is currently unconscious and unable to make decisions. I believe that if the Holy Lord were awake and knew that the prince was so incompetent, he would be furious. I and my ministers are just trying our best."
Just doing my duty."
Zhao Heshan said angrily: "You are using strong words to make excuses! You are using high-sounding excuses to cover up your dirty intentions!"
"Master Zhao."
Zhao Xuanji raised his voice and said coldly: "I think you are out of your mind. The Supreme Harmony Hall is roaring like this. You are the one who is to blame. You'd better go back to the mansion and calm down for a few days. The work of the General Affairs Department will be discussed first.
Leave it to someone else."
Zhao Xuanji's first blow to seize power actually fell on Zhao Heshan's head.
Zhao Heshan was furious and said sternly: "The crown prince is responsible for my position, and there is an imperial edict to prove it. No one has the right to remove me except the crown prince and the Holy One!"
