e him to a water prison. In the water, I'll put some rats, leeches, cockroaches, and other creatures.""There are a few other types, but I won't go into detail. Here, everyone failed to last through se...Chapter 620: Cursing

Zhao Rui and Wan Jiaojiao looked at each other, both seeing the two characters "Amazing!" written on each other's faces.

Could it be that Your Highness possesses the gift of foresight

Li Chen ignored their thoughts and, after responding with a sentence that promised to take them to the Hall of Political Affairs, he spoke two words to Zhao Rui, urging her to calm down. Only then did he set off for the Hall of Political Affairs.

As Li Chen entered the Xizheng Hall through a side door, he was immediately met with the gazes of Zhao Xuanji and others.

They also saw the blood on Li Chen's body.

Su Zhen'ting was greatly shocked, while Zhao Xuanji and Wang Tenghuan had sullen faces.

Especially Zhao Xuanji.

"Your Highness, an old subject has received news that a major conflict occurred at the residence of the Ninth Prince of Liao just now, resulting in numerous casualties. Among them, General Yelu Qiming, the guardian general of Liao, died on the spot. Your Highness, is this true"

Zhao Xuanji clasped his hands together and went straight to the point.

Li Chen sat down with a big, bold stride and calmly said, “That's not true.”

This denial came as a surprise to Zhao Xuanji, and he immediately followed up with, "But the source of the information..."

"Yelü Qiming dying is for the best, large-scale conflict, people being killed and injured isn't a bad thing either, but this wasn't an accident."

Li Chen's eyes looked at Zhao Xuanji without any emotion and said indifferently: "As envoys of the Liao Kingdom, they should abide by the etiquette of guests in the capital of our Great Qin. But they not only failed to restrain themselves, but also indulged their subordinates in robbing women on the street and killing innocent people. I happened to run into them. As the prince of the Great Qin Empire, all the people in the world are my subjects and my father's subjects. Should I not care"

Originally, Zhao Xuanji came to confront Li Chen. However, Li Chen's question caught Zhao Xuanji off guard.

Wang Tenghuan saw the stalemate and quickly said, "But Your Highness, the other party is after all the King of Liao and a general, representing the face of the Liao kingdom. Even if they were wrong first, they should prioritize courtesy over force. Your Highness's impulsiveness..."

"Wang Tenghuan, this old geezer, you're looking for death!"

Li Chen slapped the table with a loud bang, interrupting Wang Tenghuan's words with a roar. He shouted angrily: "How dare those Liao people! How dare the king of Liao! They insult our great Qin people as sheep with two legs and ride roughshod over us without any restraint"

"I am still the Crown Prince of Qin. What's wrong with bringing them to justice"

"People have come to your doorstep and cursed your ancestors for eighteen generations. They even stole your wife and daughter right in front of you, humiliating you! And you dare tell this palace about propriety and order!"

"Well, I'll have my people bring all the wives and daughters of your entire Wang Tenghuan family here right away. I'll have them paraded before you and given to the Liao people as insults! Then see if you still dare to use diplomacy first!"

Throughout his career, even during the most intense conflicts, Li Chen always adhered to the unspoken rules of political discourse, never resorting to open hostility.

Even if people hate each other so much they want to kill them, in the political game, they still maintain a veneer of decorum.

Today, Li Chen personally shattered this facade.

Wang Tenghuan was completely dumbfounded by the insults.

He had lived for so many years, but it was the first time someone had ever yelled at him like this.

His beard trembled with anger, and the remaining ear of his was visibly red. Wang Tenghuan stomped his feet and said, "Your Highness has so humiliated an old minister, it's a disgrace to propriety and will chill the hearts of all scholars throughout the land! Doesn't Your Highness fear being condemned by thousands!"

"Screw you!"

Li Chen picked up a book from his side, half an inch thick. He hurled it at Wang Tenghuan and roared, "Do you know how enthusiastically the common people cheered in the streets after I executed Yelu Qiming They knelt before me, offering their loyalty. That's the true will of the people!"lapsing, causing the bricks beneath his feet to crack open into a dense web of fissures.Letting out a heavy sigh, Yelu Qiming glared at the three treasures with a mixture of astonishment and anger. He...
