Zhao Xuanji's forced palace was simple and direct. It was clear that there was only one way to go in front of Li Chen.
That is obedience.
If Li Chen refuses at this time, there will be only one outcome.
Thirty thousand Yu Linwei entered the capital and placed him under house arrest in the East Palace.
In any dynasty, the deepest political game in the court is the struggle for military power.
After all, your mouth can't kill, but a soldier's sword can.
Li Chen knew that after controlling the government for more than ten years, especially in the last two years when the emperor gradually became seriously ill, Zhao Xuanji had many opportunities to completely control the most powerful military force in the Gyeonggi region, the Yulin Guards.
The atmosphere in Xi Zheng Palace was so oppressive that it could suffocate one to death.
The whole hall was quiet, no one spoke.
The dull air seems calm, but it is like an undercurrent under the sea. If you are not careful, it will set off a stormy sea and be shattered into pieces.
And this is also the first time since Li Chen traveled through time that he has faced Zhao Xuanji, the biggest boss in the imperial court, in a direct confrontation.
He deeply realized the horror of the political game, the murderous, thrilling and bloodless killings.
boom.
A loud slap of a palm on the table broke the silence.
Li Chen stood up, pointed at Zhao Xuanji, and yelled: "Presumptuous!"
"This palace has been given the power to supervise the country by the Emperor's pen. You old men can accept it as you please. When did the world of the Great Qin Empire become yours instead of the Li family's?"
"You said that I am cruel and murderous, okay, I will ask you."
"The first one, Chen Huaizhi, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, attacked me in front of the imperial court. The imperial palace also asked you when you said that he should be killed. Is it true?"
Zhao Xuanji frowned slightly and said calmly: "It's true."
"Second, Chen Zhi, the leader of the Fengxi Palace guards, broke into the East Palace without a warrant from the palace. Should he be killed?"
This time, before Zhao Xuanji could say anything, Li Chen followed up: "The third one, the eunuch Wei Xian, the eunuch who was in charge of the ceremony, was in charge of the memorial. He knew that the memorial was not approved by the emperor, and no one in the harem was allowed to interfere, but
He still showed the memorial to the Ninth Prince, but he even said that it was on your order, Zhao Xuanji. Speaking of which, I still owe you a question, Mr. Zhao, is what the deceased Wei Xian said true?"
Zhao Xuanji's frown deepened, and he said calmly: "There is no such thing. The old minister has never given such an order. What's more, as a eunuch who writes the book, he and I are not in the same hierarchy. How can the old minister get an order from him?
"
No matter what the circumstances, the former civil servants interfered with the prince's affairs and even involved the memorial. This was a crime of treason, and Zhao Xuanji definitely could not be involved in such a thing.
"In that case, this Wei Xian was not killed unjustly by me?" Li Chen asked forcefully.
Zhao Xuanji's expression gradually became unbalanced, but he still said: "It's not unfair."
"Very good."
Li Chen laughed loudly and said with high spirits: "Let's talk about Qian Han. I found him on the street and found hundreds of thousands of taels of bribes from businessmen. For such a huge amount, I killed both the briber and the bribe taker.
The people all clapped their hands and cheered, so what's wrong with it?"
Every rhetorical question and every sharp shout were like the sound of thunder. Except for Zhao Xuanji, everyone else responded without changing their color.
No one could have imagined that even though he and others came to force him to marry him, the prince counterattacked him to such an extent.
These words were so reasonable and well-founded that they could not be refuted, which made their righteous petition for the people's death a real act of forcing the emperor to have a baby.
This is something they never want to see.
After all, the heaven of the Great Qin Empire still belongs to the Li family.
As long as the Li family doesn't fall, and it doesn't reach the point where the world is angry and resentful, no one would dare to openly provoke the Li family. Otherwise, this would not be a power struggle, but a rebellion.
"I guess you are still not convinced. I have already made preparations. Three Treasures, I will repay all the heads I killed and the homes I looted during these days, and all the proceeds will be repaid!"
