position of power for so long, naturally possessed an air of distinction. However, the man opposite him had a look of timidity and subservience, hunching his shoulders slightly as if he were an ordina...Chapter 934: Dispersal of Court

"Your Highness is so determined to act alone, then we officials shall certainly not stand idly by."

Zhaoxuanji did not compromise this time, in fact, he had no room to compromise.

Both sides have reached a point where they are standing on the edge of a cliff. Whoever takes a step back will fall into an abyss.

With a flick of his robe, Zhao Xuanji said gravely, "This old minister takes his leave!"

After he finished speaking, Zhao Xuanji actually turned his head and walked away directly.

Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi followed Zhao Xuanji without hesitation, not even saying a word of greeting.

Li Yinhǔ walked to Li Chén's side and smiled at him. His smile was full of arrogance and smugness, as if this was the result he had always wanted to see.

"My younger brother, I'm taking my leave."

Li Yin laughed with a tiger-skin smile, his face betraying nothing but amusement as he put on a performance before swaggering away.

Next, the officials from various factions within the court filed out of the Taihe Palace one by one.

Li Chen made no attempt to stop them, he just watched them leave.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the people in the Ta和 Hall had vanished, and it instantly became deserted.

Once the officials from the cabinet faction left, only those loyal to the East Palace remained.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, then turned their gaze to Xu Changqing and Su Zhenting.

It was still Xu Changqing who walked to Li Chen first and whispered, "Your Highness, this..."

"I'm probably the first prince to be forced into the palace by my own father, here in the Taiping Hall," Li Chen said suddenly.

Xu Changqing was taken aback and didn't dare to answer.

Today's court session set several firsts in the history of the Qin Empire.

For example, the first prince who was forced to confront the palace coup, and the first one who had a complete falling out with the cabinet, resulting in two-thirds of the officials leaving early during the court session before it was officially adjourned.

Today, after this morning court session, the conflict between the Imperial Council and the East Palace in the Qin Empire has been completely exposed. Before, there was still some semblance of decorum, but now, even that is gone.

Political struggle, it's not a matter of life and death.

Everyone knows that this early morning is just the beginning of the conflict. The struggle between the East Palace and the cabinet will escalate, going into full swing until one side is completely destroyed.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. There are still quite a few people on your side." Xu Changqing could only say that.

Li Chen turned to look at the officials who remained. Most of them were young, but because they were young, their official positions were not high, and their power within their respective departments was not great. But precisely because of this, they would choose to pledge allegiance to the East Palace.

They preferred the policy ideas of the Eastern Palace, or they felt that the Eastern Palace lacked manpower and decided to defect early for a gamble. In any case, these people remained.

Even among them, there are definitely some traitors sent by the cabinet.

None of this matters.

On the Cabinet side, Li Chen also didn't fail to place a few nails inside.

It's just a tacit understanding among everyone.

"Get ready, everyone. Your responsibilities are about to increase significantly. When necessary, the cabinet will need to take over completely. There will be obstacles along the way, so please bear with it."

All the remaining ministers immediately said, "Your Majesty, we shall obey the Prince's orders."

Thank you all.

Li Chen bowed, paying his respects to the assembled ministers.

The ministers all stepped aside, not daring to accept Li Chen's salute.

"Farewell!"

After leaving two words, Li Chen left the East Palace.

Su Zhen Ting and Xu Chang Qing immediately followed. The other ministers, each with their own thoughts, also left the Taihe Hall.

On his way back to the Xizheng Hall, Li Chen traveled in silence. He dismissed everyone else, leaving only Su Zhen and Xu Changqing behind.med buns each time."Wàn Jiāojiāo pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, replying, “This servant understands.”And when Yelu Guguzhi heard this, he was greatly enraged."The prince of Qin, is this how your...
