d very close, with their shoulders touching. Li Chen appeared to be very happy.Then another stranger talked to Li Yinhǔ. Although they had some argument, it was obvious that the stranger lost. In the...Chapter 1133: Restructuring and Reorganization

To the side of the Taihe Hall, Li Chen in a princely robe embroidered with dragons, walked with strides like a tiger and dragon, ascended the imperial steps, and stood beside the dragon throne.

“We, your humble servants, pay our respects to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince.”

"Long live the Crown Prince, long live, long, long live!"

With Zhao Xuanji and Su ZhenTing leading the way, all officials bowed and shouted in unison.

Li Chen raised his hand and said, "My lords and ministers, you may rise."

Thus, the ceremony was over, and the court session officially began.

At a glance, the officials present in the Taihe Hall were about one-third fewer than usual.

Those few officials, where did they all go Need I say more, they all ended up as souls under the Tiger Head Executioner's blade.

After a moment's deliberation, Li Chen began, "There have been some major events in the capital recently, as you all know."

The Taihe Hall was eerily quiet, with only Li Chen's voice echoing around the coiled dragon pillars.

"The former Zhao king, the eighth prince Li Yinhu, committed treason against heaven and rebelled. Fortunately, with the help of all of you officials, the matter has been resolved."

Li Chen's second sentence effectively defined the nature of the previous rebellion.

This matter has nothing to do with Zhao Xuanji and the cabinet; it is entirely Li Yinhu's rebellion.

Some ministers already knew the result, while others had guessed it.

Until the official announcement, people will always be speculating.

Now that Li Chen has spoken, officially categorizing the whole situation, it means the case is closed and there is no possibility of overturning the verdict.

Many officials stole glances at Zhao Xuanji with their peripheral vision, but they saw that the Grand Advisor's face was expressionless and his demeanor restrained, showing not a hint of anything.

Of course.

Li Chen swept his gaze over the crowd of officials below, their minds filled with various thoughts. He continued, "Reliance on Li Yinhu alone is insufficient for a rebellion. Many ministers in court are in league with him. In recent days, the Dongchang has been arresting these individuals. Fortunately, most of the harmful elements have been removed, restoring order and fairness to our great Qin Dynasty."

Zhao Xuanji spoke first, saying, "Your Highness is wise."

The officials looked at each other in astonishment.

If Zhao Xuanji has spoken, what else are they waiting for

Then everyone shouted in unison, "Your Highness is wise!"

Li Chen smiled ambiguously and said, "It's not that I am wise. If I were truly wise, I would have seen through Li Yinhu's plot to rebel against the emperor long ago. There would be no need to wait for my father to wake up and personally judge him."

At this moment, Dantai Jing stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, the recent crackdown on corrupt officials in the capital has caused widespread panic. Can this be brought to a close"

Li Chen nodded and said, "Now that all the ones who should be caught have been caught, and all those who should be killed have been killed, there may still be some hiding deeper, but it doesn't affect the overall situation. Such high pressure is not suitable for a long time, so from today onwards, all government offices will resume normal operations."

This statement brought relief to all the officials.

No matter what, it's a good thing to get that blade from the Dongchang out of the way.

Nobody wants to live such a life of anxiety every day.

Then Dantai Jing asked again, "Should the selection process be started for the vacancies in various government departments to fill them"

"Naturally."

Li Chen nodded and said, "The capital city is the hub of the world, with various government offices responsible for the crucial operation of the entire nation. It cannot be left without leadership for a single day. The vacancies that need to be filled should be addressed as soon as possible."

"But according to the normal procedure, wouldn't it be through the Ministry of Civil Affairs selection"

In the eyes of most courtiers, Dantu Jingzhi's third question was nonsense.

Without going through the Ministry of Finance's selection process, with so many positions and vacancies, how are they filled

And Li Chen's next words, cast the first stone in this extraordinary morning court.

"No, from this incident, this palace has informed the Emperor and received permission. I intend to reform and reorganize all government offices and bureaus."ever really planning to let himself leave aliveSeeing that he was about to leave soon, but suddenly something happened, which immediately made Yelü Guzanqi's mood uneasy.Outside the Eastern Palace, in...
