Three words that were so simple that they were almost crude made the Hall of Supreme Harmony fall into silence. Everyone suppressed their breathing and lowered their heads, but they focused all their attention on their ears.
here we go!
A direct conflict between the cabinet and the prince inevitably occurred.
The outcome of this conflict is crucial. It is related to which side the neutral factions in the DPRK and China who are still waiting and watching will place their chips.
It is impossible for all of them to be imperial ministers. With the title of the elder of the Three Dynasties, no one will argue with this old man, whether the prince wins or the cabinet has the last laugh. The gains outweigh the losses, and a large number of literati will be offended.
Since they are in the middle of the situation, when the storm surge comes, they cannot stay out of it.
Li Chen's eyes fell on Zhang Biwu and said calmly: "I, have you asked me to speak?"
Li Chen suddenly raised his voice and scolded: "That's simply wanton!"
"In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I am standing here, representing my father. I am exercising the power of the Emperor and the power to supervise the country. I haven't finished speaking yet. When will it be your turn to interrupt me as a minister? Why,
Since you want to talk, why don't you come up and stand next to this dragon chair and tell you?"
Li Chen's eyes were as bright as fire, and he stared at Zhang Biwu, whose face was getting ugly. He said coldly: "Or do you want to sit on this dragon chair and talk?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a gasp of air in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
This is the end of the story. Who dares to answer?
Not to mention Zhang Biwu didn't dare, even if Zhao Xuanji came, he wouldn't dare.
Sure enough, Li Chen's words fell to the ground. The guards guarding around the Hall of Supreme Harmony immediately put their hands on their waist knives at the same time, staring at Zhang Biwu like wolves and tigers. It seemed that they only lacked an opportunity or an order. The chaos in their hands
The knife would kill Zhang Biwu immediately on the spot.
Under the pressure of the huge majesty, Zhang Biwu only felt it was difficult to breathe. After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, he had never experienced such a battle. Zhang Biwu suddenly remembered that the prince in front of him was someone even Zhao Xuanji was afraid of, and what's more, his hands
, it’s not like he hasn’t been stained with the blood of a bachelor. Thinking of this, Zhang Biwu’s face turned pale. He gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, “I don’t dare.”
"Are you afraid or don't want to?" Li Chen made it clear that he had no intention of letting Zhang Biwu go like this, and pressed him step by step.
Zhang Biwu replied: "I don't dare, and I don't dare to think about it."
"Your Highness." Zhao Xuanji cupped his hands and said in his trademark unhurried voice: "Master Zhang was also in a hurry and took what His Highness said. Although it was a bit rude, we might as well listen to his thoughts first."
When he said this, Zhao Xuanji didn't look good. It was Zhang Biwu who stood up and said it first. His attitude actually represented the cabinet and his attitude. But before he finished speaking, he let
Li Chen grabbed the handle first, but in the end he had to step in to deal with it. This was actually a defeat for the cabinet.
Lost in momentum.
Zhang Biwu also knew that he had been reckless, and he felt a little regretful. He lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Highness, Wei Chen is indeed in a hurry. Please allow Wei Chen to finish his words."
Li Chen looked at Zhang Biwu indifferently and said: "Since you already know your fault, it is still stingy for me to hold on and not put him down. So, I will fine you half a year's salary to set an example. Are you convinced?"
Zhang Biwu gritted his teeth. For officials to do this, unless they are naturally greedy for money, most of them no longer care about those yellow and white things. After all, they have tasted the beauty of power and what money can bring.
