"It's better to be the prime minister."

Li Chen said coldly: "In order to hide this hand, how many rebels have been added to the Xishan Province, how many innocent people have died tragically, and how many officers and soldiers have died tragically? A general has achieved success and thousands of bones are bleak. The Chief Supervisor has not achieved this, but there are already many dead bones under his feet."

Zhao Xuanji's mouth twitched and he said stiffly: "It's still a little less than Your Highness."

Seeing Zhao Xuanji ridicule him with words, Li Chen sneered and ignored him.

At this time, Tao Rui, who was wearing prison uniform and unkempt and dirty face, had already been escorted by the guards to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The two guards pressed their palms on Tao Rui's shoulders and tried harder. Tao Rui, who was wearing iron chains on his hands and locked chains on his feet, immediately knelt on the ground with a thud.

Although there was a soft carpet on the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Tao Rui groaned softly.

At this time, everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, including Li Chen, could see Tao Rui's appearance clearly.

He has an average appearance, a medium figure, and looks very ordinary.

Perhaps if you leave it among ordinary people, Tao Rui can still have a certain degree of being in a high position for a long time, but in this Hall of Supreme Harmony, few people have lower official positions than Tao Rui.

In addition, he has suffered a lot in recent days, so Tao Rui looks embarrassed and haggard.

"You are Tao Rui." Li Chen said indifferently.

Tao Rui sneered and said, "Stop playing these tricks. If you catch me, I didn't think I could survive. I begged me to the Palace of Supreme Harmony, just to squeeze my last bit of value?"

"That's right, the refugees in Xishan Province rebelled. They were extremely powerful. Rebels appeared almost overnight in all parts of the province. I was no match for them. Whether they were reported or not, I was dead, so I ran away before the rebels came."

"It's just that I didn't run away."

“Bold!”

The right deputy censor of the Censorate, cursed: "As a court official, you should have been responsible for the country. However, in the provinces under your rule, you will not think of resisting or suppressing the rebellion, but running away! You even ran away without even reporting the report to the court. You are so bold and reckless, but afraid of death, and you dare to speak up in this Palace of Supreme Harmony!?"

Tao Rui sneered, stared at the right deputy censor and said, "Tan Bingzhi, you just stand and speak without any pain in your back. Do you know what is going on in the Xishan Province?"

"In the Xishan Province, the population of the people is 6 million, which is a large population province in the country. However, after two years of natural disasters, floods, droughts and snow disasters, one after another, more than 6 million people died in just two years!"

"This is still obtained by statistics, what about those that cannot be counted? It is impossible to count at all now. One village after another disappears and dies, and the rest of the people have also escaped, not knowing life and death at all. Now the number of households that can be found in Xishan Province is less than 2 million."

"The court has not been able to provide disaster relief, and the superiors have no money or food to pay. Not to mention the people, even the soldiers of the government and the troops stationed in the Xishan Province have not paid their salaries and military pay for a long time. Everyone cannot fill their stomachs. When those rebels come, it would be good not to follow the rebellion. Do you still expect me to command these people to suppress the rebellion?"

"In the situation like Xishan, let alone me, even if Mr. Bowen was reborn more than 300 years ago, he was helpless!"
