After sending Zhao Tailai away, Li Chen let Xu Yuandao and the others who were trembling with fear outside come in.

Shangguan Zhao led the way, followed by several officials of high rank. They were all powerful officials and members of the cabinet faction.

In this regard, Li Chen was still somewhat comforted.

At least when selecting officials for the Eastern Palace, Li Chen paid close attention to their family backgrounds. He ensured that they at least raised their children properly, otherwise, if a child of an official from the Eastern Palace appeared here today, it would be truly embarrassing.

"We, your humble servants, pay our respects to the Crown Prince. Your Highness, a thousand years of life, a thousand years of reign, ten thousand years of prosperity!"

Xu Yuandao and others walked in with their heads bowed, without a word, they knelt down to pay their respects.

Li Chen leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said nonchalantly: "With you lot, who are always looking for trouble, prancing around me, let alone impossible, even if you truly lived to be a thousand years old, it would just mean getting scolded by the common people for a few more years."

Li Chen's words from the start implied that this matter was probably not going to be easily resolved.

On the scene, Xu Yuandao held the highest official position and was the only one authorized to respond.

Kexu Yuanda, ever since witnessing the Prince's iron fist during the last court session, and considering the long list of high-ranking officials who had perished at his hands, was truly terrified.

Xu Yuanda, with sweat breaking out on his forehead and his face paling, said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I have failed as a father. Please punish me."

"The attitude is pretty good."

Li Chen lazily said, “Don't blame this palace for not giving you a chance. With your children acting so arrogant and flamboyant, they are not only disgracing your family, but the common people will end up cursing the court and the imperial family together. This palace has long heard that in the capital city, your group of high-ranking officials' children have become bullies.”

"Thinking they are above everyone else because of their parents' and elders' official positions, they act arrogantly, forming cliques to bully men and women, wreaking havoc in the market. Since I have encountered you today, as your parents failed to discipline your children, I will take it upon myself to teach them a lesson."

Looking at the trembling crowd kneeling before him, Li Chen said: "You're kneeling at your own doorstep anyway, you don't have to take them back. Just take them outside the city to Su Pingbei's men and make them little soldiers. Train them for half a year and then let you take them home."

As soon as these words were uttered, Xu Yuandao and the others' faces changed.

Who doesn't know that the Su family are the East Palace's die-hard loyalists If their own child ends up under Su Pingbei's command, what good could possibly come of it

"This palace will not make them suffer more because they are your children, nor will I allow them to go to the military camp and act arrogantly because of their status. This is an opportunity for them to be reborn."

Li Chen had already made his point, and although Xu Yuan and the others were reluctant inside, they couldn't refuse any longer.

Moreover, no one would dare to refuse.

He truly refused. With the prince's temperament, if he didn't allow them to take him back, it wouldn't be their lively and energetic eldest son returning, but a corpse.

Having understood this, Xu Yuandao gritted his teeth and bowed, saying: "Your subjects thank Your Highness."

With Xu Yuanda taking the lead, the other people couldn't cause any waves either, and they simultaneously kowtowed and said: "Your Highness, we thank you."othly, they should have entered the northwest region by now, and tonight, they should be able to enter Gansu and Shaanxi."Li Chen nodded.All these arrangements and preparations were sent to him for re...
