Zhao Xuanji said indifferently: "Shangguan Shangshu is also doing his own duty. If His Highness is so violent, who among the civil and military officials in the dynasty would dare to report him?"
"What's more, Shangguan Zhao, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, has the power to supervise the military. Since he has discovered something wrong, he should investigate. Even if it turns out to be a misunderstanding, he can just explain it. This will prove that General Su Pingbei is magnanimous.
Selfless, why would Your Highness do this?"
The confrontation instantly shifted from Su Pingbei and Shangguan Zhao to between Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji.
Everyone smelled the unusual smell of gunpowder.
On weekdays, even if there were conflicts between the prince and the elder, they would always agree to keep half of the conflict, make concessions to each other, and maintain a tacit understanding of no direct conflict.
But today, it seems different from usual.
The two seemed to be fighting for Shangguan Zhao's life, but in fact, it was the first confrontation between the cabinet and the East Palace, the two largest political groups in the Great Qin Dynasty.
Realizing this, everyone lowered their heads tightly for fear of being involved.
However, since it is a confrontation between two major groups, other people are destined to participate.
Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi came out almost at the same time. Their voices were calm but full of no doubt, and they said: "I second the opinion of the elder, and please think twice."
Zhao Xuanji started, followed by Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi, followed by members of the cabinet group.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, most of the civil servants immediately came out and knelt down, saying: "I second my opinion, please think again, Your Highness."
Suddenly, the cabinet was so powerful that it seemed to be trying to force Li Chen to surrender.
When Shangguan Zhao saw this, most of the fear and haze in his heart immediately dissipated.
What about the prince?
No, you still can’t do anything to yourself!?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Zhao felt extremely happy and proud. He couldn't help but raise his head and look directly at Li Chen, with a proud smile on his lips.
This smile falling in Li Chen's eyes was the most direct provocation.
With cold eyes, he looked at the crowd of people kneeling under his feet, and said coldly: "Are you trying to force me to submit?"
Zhao Xuanji cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare, but I can't just sit back and watch His Highness make the same mistake again and again."
"I beg to differ!"
Seeing that the cabinet was about to take shape, Su Zhenting suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Since taking charge of the country, His Highness has devoted himself to everything and has done everything in his power. Not only has he made no mistakes, he has even helped the court to survive natural disasters. Although the people are still living in poverty, they no longer have to do it.
Gnaw the bark and exchange seeds for food."
"The management of the government affairs is even more excellent. The most important thing is that under the leadership of His Highness, our officers and soldiers of Great Qin fought a great victory, which not only enhanced the prestige of our country, but also allowed the people of Great Qin to find their lost sense of pride."
"With all these things, how can we say that His Highness has made mistakes again and again?"
When Su Zhenting said this, he clasped his fists and said loudly: "I think that in order to maintain the majesty of His Highness, Shangguan Zhao should be killed!"
Su Zhenting spoke, and other members of the East Palace and most of the generals knelt down at the same time and said loudly: "I second my opinion."
In an instant, the only people standing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji.
Whether they like it or not, no one can be spared from the two currents of the Cabinet and the East Palace.
For the first time, the contradiction between the two major political groups was made public in the court, and they faced each other tit for tat without giving in at all.
The eyes of Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji met in mid-air, with murderous intent boiling.
