"My father personally designated me as the prince of the country, and you dare to interfere with my power of supervising the country. Tomorrow, will you depose this prince? The day after tomorrow, will you personally take up that position?
sit?"
When he said this, Li Chen pointed at the splendid but empty dragon chair on the imperial stage.
That is a chair that represents the supreme being in the world.
Only the emperor can sit on this chair.
And these words almost directly penetrated Zhao Xuanji's heart.
"Prince!"
Zhao Qinglan said with a cold face: "Stop pestering me, don't you even listen to me? I can't control you anymore?"
Since ancient times, the Qin Dynasty has established a country with military force and governed the world with filial piety.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Li Chen could not give a positive answer to this question in any case.
He said indifferently: "My son, I naturally respect my mother, but it also depends on what happened. If my mother colludes with my relatives, trying to destroy the century-old foundation of my Li family, thousands of miles of land, I forgive my son and I can't sit idly by."
Zhao Qinglan's face turned pale, and he shouted angrily: "What did you say!? How could I ruin a century-old foundation and thousands of miles of country! This is what you, as the prince, should say to me!?"
"Then, is it the mother's duty to join forces with relatives to try to oust this prince?"
Li Chen stood firm and did not give in at all.
"It's really the opposite!"
Zhao Qinglan's face was extremely angry, but inside she was extremely calm.
This was not the first time that Li Chen was disrespectful to her.
She has long been used to it.
Moreover, his father had already anticipated this scene.
She has a plan to deal with it.
That is to bet that Li Chen would not dare to flip the table.
"Someone is coming!"
Zhao Qinglan waved his phoenix robe and said sternly: "I am Queen Xiao Yiren of the Great Qin Empire. Now the Holy Dragon Body is not in good condition and cannot discipline the prince. The prince has gone against the grain again and is unfilial and unfaithful. He brought the prince back to the East Palace for me. Without me, I
Yi decrees that you are not allowed to step out of the East Palace!"
The Qin Empire had extremely strict restrictions on the harem.
Just saying that the harem should not interfere with government affairs eliminated most of the possibility of the harem getting involved in government affairs.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the queen's authority is limited to the inner palace, and her influence on the previous dynasty's government affairs is minimal.
Especially the prince and the empress whom the emperor affirms are treated with the same dignity as the mother and queen, but in fact, they are equal. In terms of actual power, the prince as the crown prince is obviously more powerful than the empress.
But there are exceptions to everything.
Astonishingly talented and beautiful as Taizu of the Great Qin Dynasty, when he formulated the rules of the royal family, he probably would not have imagined that the emperor would be seriously ill and unconscious, and the queen would join forces with powerful ministers to suppress the prince.
After all, in name, the queen is the mother of the world, and the prince is a son-in-law. If he openly resists, he will definitely be accused of unfilial piety.
In the Qin Dynasty, unfilial piety is a serious crime.
If ordinary people are unfilial, they may be punished with thirty sticks, or they may be sent to the border areas.
If the prince is unfilial, then there will be doubts about the legality of his future succession to the throne.
This is the confidence of Zhao Qinglan and Zhao Xuanji.
They bet that Li Chen would not dare to risk being scolded by the world for being unfilial and resist the Queen's decree.
Sure enough, after Zhao Qinglan's decree was issued, the imperial guards looked at each other with extremely tangled hearts.
They dare not touch the prince.
But they dare not disobey Yi's decree.
What's more, Zhao Qinglan even moved out his own account. This is a never-ending situation.
