Chapter 1140: Drag It Down

t the court to send troops!”"You say what you say."Li Chen crossed his hands over Jin Luyao's abdomen, resting his chin on her shoulder and pressing his face against her warm, smooth cheek. He said, "...Chapter 1140: Drag It Out

Li Chen had cornered Qian Shiyuan, making it clear he would use his power to push through the deal no matter what.

At this moment, some other officials also noticed that Li Chen had begun to show anger. They quietly pulled Qian Shiyuan's sleeve, signaling him not to be too confrontational.

After all, not everyone is as fearless as Qian Shiyuan.

Ke Qian Shi Yuan, however, came with even greater anger. He flung the person's hand away and said, "Why are you pulling me Your Highness is so arbitrary, refusing to listen to good advice from others. This is treating state affairs as child's play! We officials, who receive your salary, must correct the emperor's conduct. Even the Emperor himself should be advised by us officials, let alone the Crown Prince!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Taihe Palace fell silent.

Everyone looked at Qian Shiyuan with admiration.

If that were the case before, it wouldn't be a problem.

Now, even the cabinet has been suppressed by the East Palace. A grand rebellion, with all its fanfare, changed nothing; it is precisely a time when the East Palace reigns supreme.

In addition to that, the three imperial edicts personally written by the great emperor, which are well-known to all, the prince's prestige reached its peak in terms of both legal basis and authority.

At such a time, Qian Shiyuan still dared to speak in such a way in the Taihe Hall. No wonder this made all the civil and military officials feel admiration.

And the person who was left behind, their whole body went numb.

His face flushed red, he took two steps back, wanting to put some distance between himself and Qian Shiyuan. He had made up his mind: this old man wouldn't even bat an eyelid if the prince had him publicly executed in Taihe Hall.

Standing in the center of all eyes, Qian Shiyuan also felt a little regret at this time.

He just wants to be famous and leave a lasting legacy, he doesn't want to die.

He also realized that his words just now were equivalent to sticking his neck out under the knife in the Eastern Palace, and still with a fawning expression, begging for it.

But at this point, Qian Shiyuan couldn't back down.

He summoned his courage and said to Li Chen, "Your Highness, an old minister dares to speak frankly. I implore you to proceed with the new policies gradually, allowing the country and its people time to adjust, instead of striving for immediate implementation. Such haste will inevitably lead to chaos!"

Li Chen looked at Qian Shiyuan, expressionless.

Qian Shiyuan knelt on the ground and waited for a long time, but there was no response from Li Chen.

Gradually, Qian Shiyuan's heart became increasingly uneasy and anxious.

After a long while, Li Chen's voice finally came down from above him.

To be frank, if you had just insisted on abandoning the new policy instead of advocating for a gradual implementation, I would have had you executed, even if it meant facing accusations of being unjust to my advisors.

Life is saved!

Qian Shiyuan's heart settled a little.

But Li Chen's tone suddenly became twice as harsh.

"But this palace does not kill you, doesn't mean what you said is right. This palace will keep you, and let you see if what you said is right, or what this palace did is right."

Li Chen was fed up with these officials who would do anything to make a name for themselves in history. He waved his hand and said, "Bring Qian Shiyuen down and have him go home and reflect."

The guards on either side entered and, seizing Qian Shiyuan, dragged him away.

Knowing he wouldn't die, Qian Shiyu became even more emboldened. He struggled and shouted, "Your Highness, every word I utter comes from the bottom of my heart. How can you risk national affairs and your humble servant because of youthful arrogance"

"Today, Your Highness refuses to heed my advice. In the future, you will surely regret this, My Lord!"

Qian Shiyuan's roar gradually faded away, and Li Chen's face darkened with rage.

"Who else thinks this palace's new policies are unreasonable"

Li Chen's icy voice echoed in the Taihe Hall. This time, no one dared to jump out. Li Chen's requirement for someone utterly trustworthy to fill it.In that case, would I not then become someone Your Highness could absolutely trustThis feeling of being recognized and appreciated mad...
