"Ah!!!"

Wang Tenghuan is around fifty years old this year. He doesn't look very old, but in the Great Qin Empire, where the average lifespan is only fifty-five, he is a true elder.

He's old and frail, he couldn't withstand a kick from the young and strong Li Chen.

Only to see Wang Tenghuan clutching his stomach, his body rolling on the ground like a gourd.

The once pristine official robes were now smeared with mud and flecks of snow, looking utterly disheveled.

This scene was beyond everyone's expectations.

Li Chen pointed at Wang Tenghuan and roared angrily: "Old man, what are you Saying that this palace provoked the court"

"

"This palace wants to rectify the administration, and in your eyes it's a provocation to the imperial court! Why does the imperial court exist For whom does it exist After decades of studying Confucian classics, you haven't even grasped the fundamental principles of "ruler as the center" and the Five Constants!”

In Li Chen's furious roar, Wang Tenghuan trembled and crawled up.

His hair was tousled, his face half the color of pain and the other half flushed with rage, making him look as terrifying as a demon.

"Prince! You treat me with such disrespect! I vow not to rest until justice is served!"

A murderous intent flashed in Li Chen's eyes.

"Good, a good one who will not give up."

"It seems you've developed a hatred for this palace. If I were to keep you, you would inevitably rebel against me in the future. Therefore, there's no way I can keep you!"

After Li Chen finished speaking, he flicked his robe sleeve.

"Someone's here!"

Behind him, two guards in embroidered court uniforms immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee before Li Chen.

Li Chen was about to give the order.

Behind Wang Tenghuan came more than ten assassins who instantly charged forward.

They had a clear division of labor, with half the people protecting Wang Tenghuan and the other half staring coldly at Li Chen.

It seems that as soon as Li Chen uttered the order to execute Wang Tenghuan, a bloody battle would be upon them.

Li Chen's gaze swept past those death soldiers, landing on Wang Tenghuan. "Wang Tenghuan," he said, "are you going to rebel"

In any dynasty, the words "rebellion" or "revolution" are absolutely serious crimes.

No matter the reason or the power behind it, if anything is associated with these two words, it will not only be struck down by the imperial authority but also nailed to the pillar of shame, reviled and cursed by all for eternity.

Even though Wang Tenghuan was furious, he did not lose his rationality to the point of associating himself with rebellion.

"Your Highness, please don't spout nonsense! This old minister is loyal to the Emperor and to the court. Heaven and earth can bear witness, the sun and moon can attest!"

But right now, the prince is still just a prince, he hasn't ascended the throne yet. This year's title is still Emperor Taizong!

"The Crown Prince acts with such ruthlessness and domineering ways, not caring at all for loyal ministers' feelings. This old minister is merely protecting himself. When I return to the capital, I will definitely join forces with other ministers to submit a petition, urging the Crown Prince to relinquish his power of regency!"

Anyway, since we've already torn our faces apart, Wang Tenghuan also spoke with extreme arrogance and ruthlessness. He stared at Li Chen, fearless, and said: "Your Highness, don't think that because you are acting as regent, you can treat the world as nothing. There are countless loyal ministers in this court who will never allow Your Highness to run amok!"

Wang Tenghuan spoke with eloquence and confidence.

In his view, even the prince wouldn't be able to hold his head high today.

But what he saw was not the sullen and resentful look he had imagined from the Crown Prince, but a cold, pure killing intent.

At this moment, in the north suburbs of Beijing, flags fluttered and the thunder of hooves shook the ground, surging like a tidal wave from the north.

Look, there's the banner of the Imperial Guards.

Wang Tenghuan's pride solidified on his face.

The prince's ruthlessness exceeded his imagination by far.

...actually deployed the army! ...
