Li Chen did not target the civil service group, let alone the cabinet.
From the beginning, he only targeted Shangguan Zhao.
Now he is going to be killed, and he is also going to be killed by Shangguan Zhao.
What happened today seemed to be a battle for Shangguan Zhao's life, but in fact it was a collision between the two political groups of the cabinet and the East Palace.
If Shangguan Zhao dies, Zhao Xuanji will inevitably jump over the wall and lead the timid civil servants to rebel.
But if Shangguan Zhao survives, Li Chen's majesty will be ruined. Not only will he be looked down upon by civilian officials, but even the prestige he finally built up with military commanders will be in vain.
No one would want to follow a leader who can watch them being bullied and wronged without stepping forward.
As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, someone from the Ouchi guards who had already been controlled by him immediately came forward to capture Shangguan Zhao.
The smile on Shangguan Zhao's face could no longer be maintained. He did not expect that Li Chen would dare to risk hundreds of officials to force the palace to kill him. With his liver and gallbladder split, he shouted loudly: "Mr. Ge...
..”
"Who dares to move!"
Zhao Xuanji shouted loudly, causing the two guards to stop subconsciously.
Zhao Xuanji's face was extremely cold. He gritted his teeth and said: "I, Zhao Xuanji, is a bachelor of the cabinet. He has been in charge of the cabinet for more than ten years. He has worked hard for the court without slacking off. Today, facing the great Qin Dynasty, our ancestors have
Zong, will never sit back and watch the prince be so cruel and kill Zhongliang!"
"What a majestic elder."
Li Chen laughed angrily and said: "No matter how hard you work, no matter how brave you are, if you continue to dedicate dozens or hundreds of years to the imperial court, I will always be a minister."
"To put it bluntly, you are just a minister of the emperor's family, and ministers can do anything."
As he spoke, Li Chen leaned over slightly, came close to Zhao Xuanji's ear, and said at a volume that only the two of them could hear: "All your power was given by the king's father, but you dare to devour the king? The king's power is supreme, you
, is just a dog raised by the monarch. I am the prince, and if you are the prince, you are also the prince."
Without even looking at Zhao Xuanji's livid face, Li Chen stood up straight and said coldly: "Are you the imperial guards of the Great Qin court or the imperial guards of the cabinet?"
"If you are an imperial guard of the cabinet, just follow the elder."
"If you are my palace guard, why don't you carry out my orders?"
This is a very serious statement.
The two hesitant Ouchi guards looked startled, but no longer hesitated, and immediately stepped forward to hold Shangguan Zhao down from left to right, and dragged him away.
Shangguan Zhao screamed for help.
Li Chen looked at the group of civil servants who were about to make a move, and said coldly: "Anyone who asks for mercy again will be beheaded. It depends on whether you have more people or I have more heads."
These words, coupled with Li Chen's cold gaze, finally suppressed the civil servant group.
The most important thing was that Zhao Xuanji remained silent.
Zhao Xuanji didn't speak, they were like a group of dragons without a leader, a mass of scattered sand.
Shangguan Zhao saw that he was about to be dragged away, and no one spoke for him anymore. He finally couldn't help the panic in his heart, and shouted to Li Chen: "Your Highness, Your Highness, please spare your life!"
"Wei Chen was just blinded by lard for a moment, and he had no intention of deliberately framing him!"
"Please have mercy, Your Highness..."
Shangguan Zhao struggled wildly, even shamelessly pulling at the threshold of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with his fingers, unwilling to be dragged away.
As he struggled and begged for mercy all the way, he burst into tears, his official clothes were scattered, his official hat had long fallen to the ground, and he was in an extremely embarrassed state.
But even so, he was still pleading hard.
"General Su Pingbei, please say a good word to His Highness, please spare Wei Chen, treat Wei Chen like a fart, even if you exile Wei Chen, as long as you don't kill Wei Chen...
