he strange expressions on the faces of those around him.As soon as the words were spoken, everyone hastily lowered their heads and turned away, pretending not to see or hear anything.After all, rules...Chapter 673: It's Time to Kill

Zhao Xuanji said coldly, “Shangguan Shusheng is also doing his own duty. If Your Highness is so tyrannical, who in the court would dare to report or expose it”

Besides, Shangguan Zhao, as Minister of War, naturally has the right to oversee military affairs. Since he found something amiss, he should investigate it. Even if it turns out to be a misunderstanding in the end and explained clearly, it can prove General Su Pingbei's integrity and transparency. Your Highness needn't go this far.

The confrontation instantly shifted from Su Pingbei and Shangguan Zhao to Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji.

Everyone smelled the unusual smell of gunpowder.

Even when the Crown Prince and the Grand Councilor had disagreements, they would always leave room for interpretation in their words, each taking a step back to avoid direct conflict, maintaining a tacit understanding of avoiding confrontation.

Today seems different from usual.

Two people seemed to be arguing about the life and death of Shang Qiong, but in reality, it was the first confrontation between the two largest political groups on the Qin Dynasty court today: the Cabinet and the East Palace.

Noticing this, everyone hunched their heads low, afraid of being caught in the middle.

However, since it's a confrontation between two major groups, others are bound to get involved.

Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi almost emerged at the same time. Their tone was calm but carried an unmistakable weight of conviction as they said, "We agree with Ge Lao's opinion and respectfully request Your Highness to reconsider."

Zhao Xuanji took the lead, Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi followed closely behind, and then came the members of the Cabinet Group.

In the Taihe Hall, most of the officials immediately lined up and knelt down, saying: "Your subjects agree and ask Your Highness to reconsider."

For a while, the cabinet was imposing, seeming to force Li Chen into submission.

And when Shangguan Zhao saw this, the fear in his heart immediately dissipated by half.

How is the prince doing

< >Can't you still do whatever you want to yourself! < >

Thinking this way, Shangguan Zhao's heart was filled with immense joy and pride. He couldn't help but look directly at Li Chen, a smug smile curling up the corner of his mouth.

This smile, landing in Li Chen's eyes, was the most direct provocation.

His eyes were cold as he looked down at the throng of people kneeling before him. He said icily, “Are you trying to force this palace into submission”

Zhao Xuanji bowed and said: "We dare not, but we cannot stand by and watch Your Majesty make mistake after mistake."

"I cannot agree with that!"

As the cabinet was about to be formed, Su Zhenting suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has been governing diligently since you took over, personally overseeing every matter. Not only has there been no mistake, but you have even helped the court weather the natural disaster. Now, although the people are still living in poverty, they no longer have to gnaw on tree bark or sell their children for food."

"The governance summary is truly outstanding. Most importantly, under Your Lordship's leadership, our Qin army achieved a resounding victory, not only enhancing the prestige of our nation but also restoring the pride that our Qin people had lost."

"With so many instances, how can one say the emperor is wrong again and again"

Su Zhen Ting, upon saying this, cupped his fist and loudly proclaimed: "Your Highness, in order to maintain your majesty, Shangguan Zhao should be executed!"

Su Zhen Ting spoke first, and the other East Palace members and the vast majority of generals knelt down simultaneously, loudly saying: "Your Majesty, we agree."

In an instant, only Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji remained standing in the entire Taihe Hall.

Whether willingly or not, no one can escape the two powerful currents of the cabinet and the East Palace.

The conflict between the two major political groups first surfaced openly in the court, with each side facing off against the other, refusing to give an inch.
