Chapter 931: The Prince Is Ruthless

place""Indeed," Sanzhao smiled bitterly. "Judging by the time it takes, those memorials should still be on their way. After all, with the rebellion in Xishan Province now, official roads are impassab...Chapter 931: The Crown Prince Is Unruly

"What you mean, Grand Elder, is that you want me to abdicate and allow Prince Zhao to take my place"

Li Chen's question, was resounding.

Zhao Xuanji showed no sign of weakness, calmly but firmly saying: "Your Highness has been working hard for the court for so long, it's time to rest. The emperor values family above all else, and letting King Zhao help you ease your burdens, I believe the emperor would be pleased if he knew."

"Yeah, yeah."

Li Yinhu's whole body was trembling with excitement. He seemed to see himself standing beside the dragon throne in place of Li Chen, and even vaguely saw the scene of himself personally sitting on that dragon throne one day.

Every single picture, it made him feel a surge of excitement and passion.

He said to Li Chen, "Your Highness, your humble brother is not talented, but he is also willing to share the worries for you. Please understand your humble brother's good intentions."

Li Chen didn't even glance at Li Yinhu, saying coldly, "You have no say here, get out!"

Li Yinhu's excited expression froze instantly.

In broad daylight, to be reprimanded like this, let alone Li Yinhu being a dignified prince, even an ordinary person with a little self-respect would find it unbearable.

He lowered his head slightly, feeling a blush creep up his cheeks.

It was as if every minister and official, civil and military, was looking at him, their eyes filled with scorn.

It seems like everyone in the world is laughing at one's weakness, incompetence, and foolish delusions.

Gritting his teeth, Li Yinhu abruptly raised his head, staring coldly at Li Chen and said, "As the Zhao King bestowed by the imperial court, why shouldn't I have a say!"

Even Lianchen's younger brother stopped calling himself "Lianchen" and directly uses the title "Benwang."

This means Li Yinhu doesn't want to endure it anymore, he doesn't want to act like a grandson in front of Li Chen.

He wanted to reclaim the dignity that befitted his status as a prince.

His reaction surprised not only Li Chen, but also Zhao Xuanji who turned his head to look at him.

"The prince enfeoffed by the imperial court."

Li Chen smiled and said, "You forgot, your throne was given to you by this palace"

Li Yinhu roared, "The Crown Prince is merely exercising the power of regency, acting on behalf of the Emperor's edict. This king's position is that of a prince within the Great Qin court, not a prince under your Eastern Palace!"

"Wow!"

Li Chen chuckled in anger and said, "Since this palace can replace the emperor to bestow a title upon you, it can also replace the emperor to strip you of your royal position..."

"Your Highness, please wait."

Zhao Xuanji took a step forward and said expressionlessly, “Being bestowed the title of king by the imperial court is no child’s play. How can one allow Your Highness to act recklessly, saying bestow upon one, and stripping another of their title at will In this way, where would the majesty of the imperial court’s bestowal of kingship be Where would the face of the vassal kings throughout the land be”

Li Chen said expressionlessly: "The imperial decree that the emperor bestowed upon me with the power to govern in his stead clearly states that promotions, titles, rewards and punishments are all decided by this palace alone. Are you questioning this palace or defying the imperial decree!"

"The old minister dares not disobey your command." Zhao Xuanji immediately replied.

"Then you are questioning this palace"

As soon as Li Chen's words fell, Li Yinhu immediately retorted: "Your Highness is unprincipled, why can't we question him"

"Please, Your Highness, return to the East Palace to recuperate. This court can function without you."

Li Yinhu's two sentences instantly detonated the already tense situation.

"Outrageous!"

Li Chen angrily rebuked, "Li Yinhu, are you rebelling against this palace"

"It's just setting things right. You're not yet the emperor, and your father is still alive. Is opposing you considered treason Where do you put your father" Li Yinhu looked straight at Li Chen, each word sharp and powerful.asked by Zhou Ping'an.Zhou Changshou let out a long sigh and bowed to Li Chen, saying: "I have a little way. If Your Highness trusts me, please give me some time. I need to go out of the city to meet...
