With Xu Changqing's appearance, the atmosphere in the Hall of Supreme Harmony instantly became lively.
Officials from the cabinet side kept jumping out to attack Xu Changqing, but the East Palace side was not a vegetarian either.
With Xu Changqing taking the lead, officials from the East Palace also stood up and began to refute.
Although there are fewer people in the East Palace, they are generally younger in age, and their official positions are lower than those in the cabinet department, but this does not prevent them from being extremely powerful in combat.
One by one, you come and go, and in a few words, you can make people angry to death with your words.
In the end, even under Su Zhenting's hint, the military gave up.
These rough guys with three majors and five promotions usually have little qualifications and opportunities to speak in the court, but now that the opportunity came to their door, they immediately became energetic.
The scolding among the literati, although sharp, was too literal-minded, while the military ended up reciting the Three-Character Classic, which, although vulgar, was down to earth and very refreshing.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony instantly turned into a mess.
Zhao Xuanji, who remained silent, glanced at Xu Changqing in the crowd and sighed secretly.
He didn't take Xu Changqing seriously before, but today, he actually had the courage and ability to use himself as a shield to help Li Chen draw the fire away.
Whether it is wisdom or courage shown by this move, it is extremely valuable.
Why can't I have such a person in my cabinet?
If everyone was like Xu Changqing, I wouldn't have to worry so much.
"Ahem."
A slightly old cough, very subtle, but like a pause, instantly silenced the noisy Hall of Supreme Harmony.
This scene was very strange. The two factions who had been arguing so hard a second ago that they could barely greet each other's family members and then rolled up their sleeves and performed a full martial arts show all shut up.
Everyone looked in the direction of the cough.
The elder of the cabinet and the chief assistant of the current dynasty, Zhao Xuanji.
It’s finally time to bring the king to the king.
In the silence, Zhao Xuanji spoke.
The first words he spoke were scolding.
"You are all ministers of the imperial court, and those who can stand in the Hall of Supreme Harmony are all ministers of humerus. But you are actually making such a fuss and making noise like the gangsters in the market. What kind of behavior is this?"
"Where did you put all your elegance and self-cultivation?"
All civil and military officials in the dynasty were taught such a lesson that no one dared to say a word.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Xuanji turned to Li Chen and said: "Your Highness, the quarrel among the ministers is nothing more than the cause of King Zhao and Your Highness. State affairs are not child's play. You can neither listen to King Zhao's words nor give up because of your high status.
This matter requires a charter."
"What the old man said makes sense."
Li Chen said calmly: "In the opinion of the elder, how can we provide this charter?"
Zhao Xuanji slightly cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, please temporarily stay in the East Palace to recuperate. The government affairs of the previous dynasty will be handled by King Zhao. Let King Zhao see whether this important national matter is so easy, and let the world see whether this country must be handled by someone."
What can His Highness do to support it?"
Zhao Xuanji's words put aside all hypocrisy and concealment and directly stated his purpose.
He wants the East Palace to devolve power and abdicate!
It may not be possible to abdicate, but delegating power is necessary.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony was quiet.
Only the sound of people's breathing was extremely muffled.
On the imperial stage, beside the dragon chair, Li Chen looked at Zhao Xuanji, his eyes as sharp as swords.
Zhao Xuanji raised his head and looked at Li Chen calmly.
At this moment, he acted as if he was a loyal minister who worked hard for the court and sacrificed everything.
