od, after all, it was for the purpose of countering natural disasters, and it was indeed jointly decided by the Emperor and the Cabinet at the beginning. But even the Ministry of Rites joined in, sayi...Chapter 928: Who else is there, come out.

“No matter what the prince does with this money, whether he uses it for personal gain or to replenish the treasury, the fact remains that he set a bad precedent. If other officials were to follow suit and accept such large sums of money for weddings or funerals, wouldn't that encourage corruption”

Li Yinhu's words were forceful and impactful.

At this moment, he felt as if he had become a embodiment of justice, a model of integrity and public service.

"At last, King Zhao has spoken his true thoughts," Li Chen said as he looked at him.

"I'm sure there are quite a few people in the court who think the same way, aren't there"

Li Chen's gaze swept over the officials in Tahe Hall, and he said lightly: "Who else thinks this way, come out and let this palace have a look."

Dead silence.

King Zhao's actions clashed with the Crown Prince, but anyone with sense wouldn't dare to take sides in such a critical matter. Taking sides recklessly could lead to death.

To be able to mingle in the Taihe Hall and participate in the decision-making layer of national governance, who among those present would be a fool

Each and every one is a master strategist.

Li Chen had been prepared for this silence. Looking at Li Yinhou again, he said: "It seems that no one has the same idea as King Zhao."

Li Yinhu was furious.

"It's not that nobody agreed, it's just that the prince's reputation is so fearsome they dare not speak up!"

Nodding, Li Chen said: "So what you're saying is that if someone stands up, everyone agrees with your viewpoint. You are saying that I am extravagant and tyrannical, levying exorbitant taxes. And if no one stands up, it's because they are intimidated by my wealth and power and dare not speak"

Li Yinhu was taken aback.

What he said is true, but it just doesn't sit right.

So, in a nutshell, black is white, whatever you say goes

Lee Chen's rhetorical question made Li Yinhu's expression even worse.

"There's no way I can fill this empty treasury without going to every length imaginable."

"Where does the income for all the civil and military officials, every official in the empire, and the soldiers' pay come from"

"Could you, King Zhao, conjure silver out of thin air"

"If you'd like, I, as the prince, would gladly let you take my place right now. What do you say"

Each question made Li Yinhou's brow twitch.

Everything Li Chen said was a major problem he couldn't solve.

Needless to say, he was in a terrible state when the palace ran out of money recently. He had been racking his brains trying to figure it out, and although he eventually solved the problem, it left him with a taste of what it's like to be poor.

At this very moment, where did he get the confidence to say he could solve it

Unable to respond, Li Yinhu looked towards Zhao Xuanji.

You said I'd go first and you'd follow. Now look, the prince is about to crush me, and you're still watching a show!

Zhao Xuanji's brows furrowed slightly.

As for Li Yinhǔ's performance, he could only describe it with the word "disappointment."

Although the head was opened, it did not achieve the desired effect at all.

But things had escalated to this point, he couldn't just stand by and watch Li Yinhu be pinned down by Li Chen.

This is not as simple as just making sure that Li Yinhǔ's matter has a result.

Since Li Yinhu can't prove himself right, then Li Chen will punish him for being arrogant and speaking recklessly.

This is something Zhao Xuanji cannot accept.

After glancing at Fu YuZhi, Zhao XuanJi signaled the start of the attack.

Fu Yu Zhi nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

He took a step forward and said with cupped hands, "Your Highness, your words are mistaken."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! Zhao Xuanji's thoughts a little better.If you can't even save yourself, what does it matter"Better that I bear the blame of the world than that the world bears the blame of me, what a ruthless Zhao G...
