Zhao Xuanji said in a deep voice: "Right now, the Liao Kingdom is asking for help from me, Great Qin. Originally, we, Great Qin, could seize this opportunity and negotiate the terms well, but now that something like this happened, we, Great Qin, were in the wrong first, and even more so.
The risk of war!”
"The dignity of the country that His Highness said is indeed achieved by fighting, but it is not a reckless fight. A small amount of patience will mess up a big plan!"
"His Highness is acting on his own initiative today, but tomorrow he will face the risk of Liao sending troops. How can Da Qin still have the national strength to fight another battle? Won't His Highness reflect on it?"
Li Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Xuanji. At this moment, his murderous intention towards Zhao Xuanji had never been so intense.
Wisps of murderous aura filled the Xi Zheng Palace, even Su Zhenting felt frightened, and the others held their breaths and dared not speak.
"Man, I have already killed him."
"Does Mr. Ge mean to kidnap me and go to the Liao Kingdom to apologize?"
Li Chen's casual question killed Zhao Xuanji's army on the spot.
This statement cannot be accepted under any circumstances.
Zhao Xuanji lowered his head and said, "Old minister, I don't dare."
"Are you afraid, or are you not?"
Li Chen asked sternly: "You, Zhao Xuanji, are you the elder of Da Qin, or the elder of the Yelu family of Liao Kingdom!?"
Sharp words can kill, and every word can kill people.
Zhao Xuanji suddenly raised his head and said: "Why did your Highness say this? The veteran has been an official in the court for decades. Not to mention the hard work and merit, at least he has been conscientious and never dared to neglect government affairs. There is still hard work without merit. Your Highness's words are to ask the veteran to take credit for his hard work."
Die Mingzhi?"
Li Chen said nothing.
But his eyes were extremely sharp.
Zhao Xuanji did not give in at all and looked directly at Li Chen bravely.
The conflict between the two sides escalated again.
The situation has reached a critical point.
Neither Li Chen nor Zhao Xuanji can retreat from this matter today.
If you retreat, your prestige will be greatly lost.
But if no one retreats, then the end result will be destruction of both the jade and the stone.
The conflict between the East Palace and the cabinet, which was originally restrained, will completely break out.
At that time, even if Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji wanted to stop him, they would not be able to stop him if they started fighting.
Su Zhenting pursed his lips and his eyes were calm.
He also saw the difficulty of the current situation, but he could not interrupt because he was from the East Palace camp, and no matter what he said, he represented Li Chen's will.
But he can never express his will. The only one who can express his will is Li Chen himself.
At this critical moment, a high-pitched song penetrated the Xi Zheng Hall.
"The Queen is here!"
Su Zhenting's eyes lit up. Indeed, only the identity of the queen could solve the problem at this time.
She came at just the right time.
Soon, Zhao Qinglan, dressed in a phoenix robe, came to Xi Zheng Hall.
As soon as she appeared, the smell of gunpowder that originally filled the air of Xi Zheng Palace suddenly dissipated.
Both Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji walked down the stairs at the right time.
"My lord, please see the Queen."
On the scene, Zhao Qinglan is the queen, the biggest.
So even Zhao Xuanji immediately bowed his head to pay homage.
Li Chen also stood up and bowed, saying: "Why is the Queen Mother here?"
Zhao Qinglan's phoenix eyes were cold, and he glanced at the scene. After Zhao Xuanji and others were on the ground, their eyes fell on the blood stains in front of Li Chen, and said: "I heard that there was a noise in the East Palace, so I came to take a look."
"Come, please give me a seat."
Li Chen ordered someone to bring a chair to Zhao Qinglan, and then said: "It's just a dispute between the son, the elder, and the others because of disagreements. It's not a big deal."
After Zhao Qinglan sat down, he said calmly: "This is normal. Back then, your father often quarreled with the ministers below. Sometimes he was so angry that he couldn't eat. The harem was not allowed to participate in political affairs, and I did not participate in political affairs. I only watched here.
