Jiangzhou was so frightened that his soul flew away. He cried out in panic, "Your Highness, please spare my life! I truly didn't know things would become this serious. I also intended to find a way to send them away, but those disaster victims were simply too stubborn. After chasing them away, they came back again. I am truly powerless!"

"This sage book of yours truly went into a dog's belly!"

It's better if Jiang Zhou doesn't explain, but once he does, Li Chen's killing intent flares up again.

"The court appoints you as a magistrate, even as the head of this capital's prefecture, right under the Emperor's feet, to drive away these disaster victims! Where else are they going They're all within the territory of the Qin state, citizens of Qin!"

"You don't want to provide relief and aid to the disaster victims, but instead think of driving them away. Based on this statement alone, this palace would find it hard to quell its anger without taking your life!"

"Take this corrupt official down immediately and execute him! Raid his mansion and banish all members of his family for three thousand miles. Confiscate all of his property!"

Jiang Zhou didn't expect his plea for mercy to result in the annihilation of his clan. He was terrified out of his wits and wanted to say something more, but he was immediately dragged away by the guards with their swords drawn.

After dealing with Jiang Zhou, Li Chen widened his eyes and stared straight at Zhao Xuanji.

"Zhao Xuanji! Your nephew Zhao Jianye, as the commander of the Imperial Guards, faced a gathering of disaster victims, but he did not report to appease them. He even ordered the massacre of the disaster victims. What do you have to say about this!"

Zhao Xuanji furrowed her brow and said, "The old minister doesn't know the ins and outs of it, but I presume there must be a reason..."

"Reason!"

Li Chen laughed furiously, saying: "What reason could there be for him to order soldiers to bury unarmed disaster victims alive!"

"Besides, with tens of thousands of disaster victims, he wasn't afraid of inciting a rebellion and causing a catastrophic upheaval"

Zhao Xuanji was speechless after being scolded by Li Chen.

This sudden event completely caught Zhao Xuanji off guard, causing his carefully planned arrangements to fall apart.

"Su ZhenTing!"

Li Chen turned his head and walked onto the Golden Platform before the imperial throne, shouting without looking back.

"Here I stand!"

Su Zhen Ting bowed.

“This palace orders you to leave the city immediately and join Su Pingbei. Take this imperial decree to the Nan Daxing camp of the Imperial Guard and bring Zhao Jianye back to me at once!”

Su Zhenning's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

The Crown Prince is using this as an opportunity to completely remove the biggest thorn in the Imperial Guard's side.

"If Zhao Jianye persists in stubborn resistance"

Li Chen turned around, staring at the civil and military officials, coldly spitting out a word: "Kill!"

Su Zhenning immediately said: "Yes, sir!"

After finishing his words, Su ZhenTing walked out of Taihe Palace without looking back.

When he turned, he was smiling.

A stroke of good fortune, this Zhao Jianye has dug his own grave.

Moreover, the prince's swift improvisation and ruthless decisiveness in this situation truly left one both awestruck and in admiration.

Stepping out of Taihe Palace, Su Zhen'ting couldn't help but look in the direction of Qianyuan Palace, muttering: "Great Emperor, the Crown Prince has such skills. The imperial cancer can be eradicated! You can rest assured!"

At this moment, within the grand hall, Zhao Xuanji, who had spent a lifetime maneuvering through courtly intrigues with cunning and wisdom, found his usually steady hands trembling slightly.

Facing the sudden turn of events, facing the prince's reactions that were nearing their peak, all he could do was pray that Zhao Jianye wouldn't lose his mind. Once Su Zheting and his son found a pretext, the power of the Imperial Guards would be completely lost.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Xuanji realized that this matter absolutely could not be allowed to remain the sole credit of the Crown Prince. His mind raced, and in the blink of an eye, he had come up with a plan.

"Your Highness, this old minister has something to report."

Li Chen's eyes narrowed, falling on Zhao Xuanji, and said: "Speak."
