In silence, we are brewing and gathering strength for subsequent greater conflicts.
This conflict is reasonable, but also unexpected.
It came too fast and too suddenly.
Frankly speaking, it was somewhat beyond Li Chen's expectations.
He knew that Zhao Xuanji would definitely take some measures, especially when he chose to intercept the letter sent by Yelu Guzanqi to the Liao Kingdom, Li Chen knew that this old guy was really anxious.
However, the tacit understanding he had established with Zhao Xuanji made Li Chen somewhat underestimate Zhao Xuanji's abilities.
Now, this blow to the head woke up Li Chen.
If, relying on his status as a time traveler and the memory of thousands of years of history and civilization, he felt that he could do whatever he wanted, an old fox like Zhao Xuanji would chew him up until not even the dregs were left.
No one who could reach the core level of power step by step in the feudal era is simple.
Hundreds of officials forced the palace, which was a major event that even the emperor had to bow his head to.
This means that the conflict between the ministers and the emperor has accumulated to a point where it must break out.
Throughout history, except for those few ruthless emperors, which emperor would not bow his head in the face of such a situation?
Imperial power is supreme, but imperial power is not necessarily invincible.
There are invincible strongmen in politics, but this is based on absolute control of power and personnel.
Li Chen obviously hasn't reached this point yet, so he will face the situation of hundreds of officials forcing him to go to the palace.
And now, it is Zhao Xuanji who is using his more than ten years of hard work in the court to leverage Li Chen's power base as the prince of the country.
Looking at Zhao Xuanji, Li Chen said calmly: "Mr. Ge, are you asking me to bow my head?"
Zhao Xuanji calmly replied: "Your Highness, knowing your mistakes can greatly improve things."
"Ha ha."
Li Chen laughed loudly and said: "Okay, it's good to know your mistakes and be able to correct them, but it's so good to be good."
After the laughter, Li Chen's tone suddenly became stern and cold, and he shouted: "Come here!"
Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the imperial guards filed in.
They were the only people in the entire palace who could carry weapons. Apart from them, unless otherwise authorized by the emperor, anyone else, including Su Zhenting, who dared to bring weapons into the palace without authorization would be guilty of regicide.
These imperial guards entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony and immediately dispersed to surround the entire place. They stood at the outermost edge, holding weapons on their waists with cold eyes.
This scene made many civil servants feel a little scared.
Let's talk, let's talk, but once blood is seen, today will be recorded in the history books.
Although it sounds awesome, no one wants to be the backdrop for the murder in the history books.
The massacre of hundreds of officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was unprecedented in history, and no tyrant, no matter how stupid, could do it.
But the prince standing on the royal throne at the moment has never played his cards according to common sense. No one knows whether he is so courageous.
Zhao Xuanji didn't move.
He even expected Li Chen to order the killing of the officials present.
As a result, the whole country will rebel, right before our eyes!
Those feudal kings would never miss such a God-given opportunity.
In the silent Hall of Supreme Harmony, there were only the heavy breathing of the officials.
Li Chen walked down the imperial platform, step by step, the sound of footsteps seemed to step on people's hearts.
He came and stood in front of Zhao Xuanji.
Staring at Zhao Xuanji, Li Chen said word by word: "Drag Shangguan Zhao out and behead him."
