f Wàn Jiāojiāo had helped him secure a peaceful retirement."Slave greets your Highness, Prince."In just a few moments, the fire on the horizon did not lessen but grew larger and larger.At this moment,...Chapter 677: What Are You
The concubines shall not interfere in politics.
...is still this sentence. ...
Zhao Qinglan immediately became furious when she heard this.
"That phrase, 'just that,' has been used by Li Chen countless times. Every time, it leaves me speechless."
But this time, Zhao Qinglan was not going to give up just like that.
Because this time, she had the support of Zhao Xuanji and the entire bureaucratic group, she had to stand up.
What rules are unbreakable, rules are made by people, as long as you have enough strength, you can rewrite the rules.
Now, Zhao Qinglan felt that her side's strength was completely sufficient.
"While the Imperial Concubines are not supposed to interfere in politics, today I am dealing with matters of the imperial family. General Su, do you find anything amiss"
Even though Zhao Qinglan might be dissatisfied with Su Zhen'ting, she would always maintain a respectful attitude towards him. She wouldn't reprimand him as harshly as she did Liu Tongbi.
Therefore, although Zhao Qinglan's words were cold, there was at least nothing impolite about them.
Su Zhenning frowned slightly, feeling a bit of a predicament.
At this moment, Zhao Xuanji spoke, “According to custom, if the Emperor is unwell or out on a tour and unable to manage state affairs, the regent minister, crown prince, or princes appointed by him, if they are found lacking in virtue, the officials of the court may jointly submit a letter requesting the Empress to intervene. After deliberation by the Empress, she may temporarily suspend the regency, awaiting the Emperor's recovery or return to the capital before making a final decision.”
Having said that, Zhao Xuanji looked at Li Chen with a hint of smugness in his eyes. He said, "Please, Your Highness, hand over the regency."
"Your Highness, we request that you relinquish the regency!"
The civil servants, in unison, spoke at the same time.
This wave of sound echoed continuously within the Taihe Hall, forming an overwhelming presence that sought to subdue Li Chen.
Su ZhenTing stood beside her, his brow furrowed into a knot of concern.
This situation is utterly hopeless.
The main reason was that they were completely unprepared and caught off guard by Zhao Xuanji's attack.
He looked at the generals behind him. Some were hesitant, some indignant, but most were simply lost and bewildered.
Military generals, having been marginalized for too long, were ultimately unable to compete with the civil officials within the imperial court.
Su Zhen's heart was pounding with anxiety.
At this time, Su Pingbei quietly walked over.
"Dad, what should we do"
Su Ping lowered her voice and asked.
Su Zhendong glanced at him and softly uttered three words: "Look again."
Su Pingbei thought for a moment, lowering his voice and saying, "Your Highness must have anticipated this, having your son station 30,000 elite troops at the Yu Lin Guard, and within the East Factory in the capital, there are also the most elite of the 2,000 elite..."
"Shut up!"
Su Zhen'ting suppressed his voice and growled, "You dare say such things Just wait for the Prince's arrangements. Before the Prince speaks, get rid of all the thoughts you shouldn't have!"
Seeing Su Zhenting was truly angry, Su Pingbei's lips moved slightly before he closed his mouth in grievance.
Over so many years of being father and son, Su Pingbei knew very well when to keep his mouth shut.
But Li Chen didn't notice the secret communication between Su Zhen and his son. He looked at Zhao Qinglan and Zhao Xuanji, the father and daughter, and said faintly, "What if this palace doesn't give it"
Zhao Xuanji said in a deep voice, “Please do not misunderstand, Your Highness.”
"This palace really wants to make a mistake once."
Li Chen gave Zhao Xuanji a cold smile and said, "The power to supervise the country was given to this palace by my father. If you want to take it back, you have to ask my father. What are you"
"Whether one is a first-rank university scholar, a cabinet elder, or even a low-ranking official, they are all servants, working for the Emperor. Do you want to usurp power and become the master over the royal family!"aced your servant in an unjust position.”Li Yinhu said coldly, "This king doesn't understand what you're saying.""It's alright if the prince doesn't understand."The Three Treasures seemed well-prepare...
