"The Chief Auxiliary, the Prince is a newborn calf, too reckless. As the Chief Auxiliary of the current dynasty, you must not let the Prince continue to be so arrogant."

Sun Boli, the minister of Dali Temple, said indignantly.

On the side, Teng Huaiyi, the Minister of Justice, also said: "Mr. Sun is right. In the court, the chief minister is still the chief minister. If this young prince continues to mess around like this, how can he become decent? In the future, the emperor recovers from the dragon body and sees the capital being chaotic and the people are full of grievances. I am afraid he will be angry again. Master. Now we have to take some measures against the prince."

Zhao Xuanji closed his eyes slightly, and he said lightly to Wang Tenghuan, a senior secretary of Jianji Palace who was also a colleague of the cabinet who was bowing his head to drink tea next to him: "Brother Wang, what do you think of this matter?"

Wang Tenghuan gently put down the teacup and said, "The prince was young and was in charge of the power of the country. He only knew how to use power to kill people, but he did not know that behind the power was the responsibility. As the ministers of the court, you and I should assist the prince and let the prince understand that governing the country and the world cannot solve everything by killing."

"What's more, if you and I remain silent again, the second Xu Changqing will probably appear."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuanji's face was deep.

He said slowly: "Since that's the case, tomorrow, we will go to the East Palace together to meet the prince, inform him of his interests, and let the prince give up his power to supervise the country for the time being. It's better to learn how to deal with the government affairs first and then discuss other things."

Several adults who were plotting in the study and belonged to Zhao Xuanji's core circle looked at each other and smiled. Then they bowed to Zhao Xuanji in an orderly manner:

"We will follow the order of the Prime Minister."

Zhao Xuanji nodded expressionlessly and said slowly: "Since there is still something important to do tomorrow, please go back and rest first."

When the others saw Zhao Xuanji issued an order to expel guests, they all stood up and said goodbye.

After everyone left, Zhao Xuanji sat on the chair and pondered for a moment, then got up and went to the desk to write a note, and patted his palm gently.

Outside the door, a expressionless guard quietly came to Zhao Xuanji without saying a word.

"Send it to the palace quickly and hand it over to Zhao Rui." Zhao Xuanji took out a bottle of medicine from the drawer and handed it to the guards with the notes, and said lightly.

The guard took two things, stuffed them into his arms without looking at them, and then bowed and left quietly.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Zhao Xuanji looked up at the night sky and murmured: "Prince, I hope you don't force me to go to this last step."

......

As soon as Li Chen returned to the East Palace, he received the latest news from Sanbao.

"More than half of the first-rank officials in the court gathered in Zhao Xuanji's mansion and left after two hours of negotiation?"

Li Chen had a calm expression and asked, "Can you find out what they were talking about?"

Sanbao bowed and said, "The spies from the Jinyiwei only know that they will join forces to the East Palace to meet the prince tomorrow. I don't know the specific reason and the matter yet."

Li Chen walked to a candlelight, picked up the wick with scissors, and the fire became much brighter under the jump. Li Chen, who looked at the candlelight, asked casually.

Sanbao whispered: "I dare not speak nonsense, but it is definitely not a good thing."

"The chief minister of the dynasty was able to say that his strength in the court was to cover the sky with his hands. His father was seriously ill for several years. Over the years, he had almost been managing the government affairs. Many of the decrees and strategies were made by him. Compared to our father and son, he was more like the helmsman of this empire."

"At this time, there was only one reason for those first-class officials around him to discuss with the Prime Minister for two hours."

Li Chen put down his scissors and said coldly: "What I have done in the past few days has made them anxious. They are no longer used to the suppression of imperial power on their heads. They want everything to return to the right track. The best way is to make me surrender, or... let me disappear."

Sanbao's pupils shrank, and he immediately said, "I and Dongchang are willing to die for the prince."

"I know that this must be from the sincerity, because I am finished, and you and your Dongchang will be finished too."

Li Chen chuckled and said, "Go up, Fengxi Palace."

In Fengxi Palace, when Li Chen reached this point, Zhao Qinglan was ready to rest.

Through the curtain, Li Chen bowed and said, "My son wants to see the queen."

From the curtain, Zhao Qinglan's cold voice came, "The night is already deep, and the prince should not see me. If you have anything to say, then leave after you say it."

"Is the queen sure I want my son to say this?" Li Chen said with a smile.

Inside the curtain, Zhao Qinglan was silent for a while, and ordered with some reluctance: "You all retreat."

After all the others in the palace left, Zhao Qinglan said coldly: "What are you talking about now?"

As soon as someone else left, Li Chen's eyes became sharp and his waist was straightened. He seemed to be the first to take the initiative to turn the guest in an instant, and then walked over and opened the curtain.

Zhao Qinglan, who was sitting on the soft collapse, angrily saw this and said, "Rareless! You broke in without my permission. Even if you are the prince, I can cure your sins!"

"Okay."

Li Chen sat down on the soft collapse, picked up the teacup next to Zhao Qinglan and drank it, and said, "I am so arrogant that I am less? Let's not say such words of complete self-satisfaction."

When Zhao Qinglan saw that Li Chen actually used the cup where he drank water, he was immediately embarrassed.

She stood up and looked at Li Chen coldly, and said, "Don't think that this palace is so easy to bully."

Zhao Qinglan has a noble status and his mother's demeanor is definitely not unusual. In his rage, he really has a bit of a terrifying power.

But this trick obviously didn't work much in front of Li Chen.

He had some ways to get Zhao Qinglan to remove all the thorns.

"A quarter of an hour ago, I just received news that more than half of the first-rank officials in the court, including Sun Boli, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Teng Huaiyi, the court of the court, had a secret discussion in the official residence for two hours. No one knew what they had secretly discussed, but I knew that they would come to the East Palace to cause trouble for me tomorrow."

Li Chen looked at Zhao Qinglan, who was shocked when he heard his words, chuckled, pressed one hand on the soft armrest and the other hand on the backrest, leaned over and approached Zhao Qinglan, stared at the crystal-clear eyes, and said, "I am wondering, should I take advantage of this great opportunity for them to gather together, and to hide a hundred knives and axe players in the East Palace tomorrow. When your father and the others come, they will kill them by killing them?"

When Li Chen said these words, his face was filled with a smile.

But the cold eyes that were as unsightly as a deep pool contained a surging murderous intent flowing, as if they had accumulated to the limit and might explode in the next moment.

If anyone else said such a ruthless thing, Zhao Qinglan would think that the other party was crazy.

That was the chief minister in the court who had been in charge of the government for more than ten years, and more than half of the first-rank officials in real power. It can be said that this group of people represents the top level of the power pyramid of the Great Qin Empire today. If something happened to them, the entire Great Qin Empire would be in chaos.

But based on what Li Chen did during this period, Zhao Qinglan felt that Li Chen really dared to do this.

You should know that Li Chen achieved an extremely terrifying achievement. The number of important officials in the court he killed was equal to the number of days he had obtained the power to supervise the country.

Such a bloodthirsty madman is possible to do anything.

"don't want!"

Zhao Qinglan exclaimed: "Once you do this, the capital will be in riots instantly, and everyone in panic will be in danger. When the capital is in chaos, the empire situation that is already tense due to the disaster victims everywhere will be affected. In this way, the empire will only be even more dangerous. The bandits and foreign enemies who are eyeing the empire will take the opportunity to enter."

"Prince, you must not be impulsive!"

Li Chen stared at Zhao Qinglan, his eyes flashing.

He raised his hand and slowly stroked Zhao Qinglan's face as smooth and transparent as a newly peeled egg with the back of his hand, and said, "I know, but they don't want me to live anymore, so I will fight with them."

"Otherwise, I can't let them slaughter, are you right?"

Zhao Qinglan bit her lip, and every inch of skin that Li Chen's palm swims through her makes her feel as soft and numb as if she is electric. She forces herself not to care about that feeling, but the gradual rapid breathing is an indisputable fact.

To endure the strange and unfamiliar restlessness in her heart, Zhao Qinglan's brain tried hard to calm down. In order not to let Li Chen's hand continue to make trouble and stimulate herself, she raised her hand and grabbed Li Chen's hand, looked up at Li Chen, and said, "Crown Prince, this matter may not be both good."
