risk their lives by offending the emperor, knowing full well that they would likely be executed for it What made them so attached to this practice of "death remonstrance"Because for these officials,...Chapter 690: The Prince Is Brilliant
Li Junze is dead, and King Wen will definitely seek revenge.
Even though this prince is implicated in this matter, so what
Anyway, you and King Wen are bound to fight to the death sooner or later.
The key is to force Zhao Xuanji to take action personally. Then, can Wen Wang and Zhao Xuanji continue to cooperate
The enmity of killing one's own son is an unpardonable offense.
What he needs to do now is continue to provoke Zhao Xuanji and Wen Wang, forcing them into a direct confrontation.
Zhao Xuanji looked at Li Chen on the imperial platform. He knew what Li Chen was planning, of course.
But Zhao Xuanji had no other choice.
"Your humble servant obeys."
Zhao Xuanji nodded in agreement to this task he had no choice but to accept, and only then did Li Chen wave his hand and say, "In that case, disperse."
After finishing his words, Li Chen took the lead and turned to leave Taihe Palace from the side.
The second to stand up was Zhao Qinglan.
She gave Zhao Xuanji a complicated look, but with so many people around, the father and daughter couldn't say anything. They could only leave Taihe Hall under the service of a large group of attendants.
Zhao Xuanji's face was as dark as water, the third to leave Taihe Hall.
No one dared to go up and talk.
Everyone knows that the Grand Councilor's mood can't be good right now.
But before leaving, Zhao Xuanji gave Fu Yuzhi and the others a look. All the members of the cabinet, except for Dantai Jingzhi who had not attended the morning court today, filed out.
Su Zhen Ting thought for a moment, and told Su Pingbei to return first to straighten out military affairs, then he himself followed Li Chen's footsteps to the East Palace.
In the Hall of Practicing Government within the East Palace, Li Chen did not immediately summon Su Zhen Ting. Instead, he issued an order to Chen Tong.
"Today's guard duty at the Taihe Palace has been taken care of."
Li Chen has always been a person who takes revenge for every slight.
Zhao Xuanji could help Li Junze bring so many people in, it's impossible without the cooperation of the chief guard of the Imperial Guard who was on duty at Taihe Palace.
So Li Chen didn't need evidence to deal with these traitors, he just needed to see the facts.
Chen Tong nodded and said, "I understand, but I'm afraid the people have already run away."
"I'll find him no matter where he is and make sure he pays."
Li Chen said with a cold face: "This is not for venting anger, but to show those who are still in this position that the price of betraying the palace."
Bowing and lowering his head, Chen Tong said, "I shall attend to it at once."
Moreover, you go and prepare a team of absolutely reliable people. This palace has other arrangements, you personally handle this matter, as soon as possible.
Chen Tong was stunned. Right now, whether it was the East Palace or the Inner Palace, the Imperial Guards were basically under the control of the Crown Prince. But like this, the Crown Prince would still need a group of 'absolutely reliable' people. Obviously, the Crown Prince was going to do something big.
Li Chen didn't say what it was, and Chen Tong wouldn't dare to ask even if he had three guts.
"I shall attend to it at once."
After Chen Tong left, Li Chen summoned Su Zhen Ting.
"General Su, how is the progress on contacting your old comrades in the army from last time"
After seeing Su Zhen, Li Chen got straight to the point and asked.
He swallowed the question that had reached his lips and replied, “Your Highness, it’s already underway. Most of the old members of the Su family are willing to serve Your Highness alongside our family, and a portion are still being discussed with.”
"Those who are still hesitating and need further communication from you must be the ones currently in control of military power."
Li Chen seemed to have opened his third eye, and with a single sentence, he caused Su Zhen Ting to smile wryly.
"Your Highness is wise."
"As Su Zhen Ting admitted, Li Chen said calmly, 'This is not surprising. The poor think of change, only those who have no power or status would consider changing. Those with vested interests naturally won't easily change the status quo unless they are sure that change will bring them greater benefits.' "East Palace, Li Chen and Wan Jiaojiao walked in the front, while Chen Tong led a group of Mingli and dark Jinyiwei masters for protection.Li Chen turned his head and glanced at Chen Tong behind him, t...
