Chapter 1080: Autumn Reckoning

ang 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 "...Chapter 1080: Reckoning After Autumn

Zhao Xuanji indeed spoke.

But he not only didn't oppose Li Chen's decision, but also agreed with it.

This point caused many officials from the cabinet factions to feel as if their entire belief system was collapsing.

Their first reaction was that Zhao Xuanji had already surrendered

Some people expressed indignation, while others showed understanding.

After all, the Emperor is awake now. How can these people still run wild

Each person had their own thoughts, but Li Chen didn't care what they thought.

"The esteemed elder understands the righteousness of the matter, and this palace is deeply pleased." Li Chen said calmly.

Zhao Xuanji bowed to Li Chen, then glanced at the corpse of Sabaobao, and sighed softly: "After fighting for so many years, another old opponent has passed away. It is as it should be to send him off in such a grand manner."

Li Chen nodded, agreeing with Zhao Xuanji's words.

Between their call-and-response, they surprisingly began to cooperate.

After a brief pause, Li Chen spoke: "My lords, my father has indeed woken up and instructed several important matters. I have also received three imperial edicts from my father. The contents of these three edicts will be announced tomorrow to the world. Tonight, the night is deep, so all of you should go back and rest first."

"Let tomorrow come, and all will be revealed naturally."

Li Chen had issued the order to leave, and it was already three o'clock in the morning. By daybreak, there would only be a few hours left.

Although the officials had complicated thoughts, they still performed their respects properly and with sincerity, each returning to their duties with a belly full of confusion and unease.

Zhao Xuanji also took the lead in saying goodbye.

He strode directly into the heavy rain, alone. He didn't want anyone to accompany him, not even Zhang Biwu who tried to catch up. He waved him off. Clearly, too much had happened tonight, and even Ge Lao needed time to process it all.

Or perhaps he wanted to go back and prepare for the difficult times that lay ahead.

Everyone else left, but three people stayed.

One is Su Zhendong, he chose to stay.

One is Chen Tong, he was asked to stay by Li Chen.

And of course, there's Su Jinpa.

Li Chen didn't leave, she couldn't leave of course.

Li Chen didn't shy away from Su Zhen and Su Jinpa being present. He directly addressed Chen Tong and said, "Two things."

Chen Tong bowed his head and listened respectfully.

"First, the funeral arrangements for Sanbao will be handled by the Dongchang. You will personally oversee this matter. Sanbao poured his heart and soul into creating the Dongchang, it's the only thing he left behind, so naturally, it should be your responsibility to take care of his final affairs."

Chen Tong nodded and couldn't help but glance at the Sanbao who was leaning against the door of the palace, already without a breath. He said in a hoarse voice: "The Factory Lord is selfless. Although he is strict with his subordinates, he does not lack love. Many people have received favors from the Factory Lord. The Factory Lord has also repeatedly guided me personally. Rest assured, Your Highness, I and all the Dongchang will do our best to complete this."

"Hmm."

Li Chen nodded.

He could tell that Chen Tong's words came from the heart, and there wasn't much of an intention to please him.

Therefore, Li Chen was still satisfied.

"The second thing is, tonight, all the officials who participated in the cabinet meeting, and those officials exposed to have defected to the cabinet in various parts of the capital city, the Jinyiwei (Secret Police) will be dispatched overnight to arrest them. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."

Ruthless and chilling.tless variations, and indeed more potential for exploration than these flags. However, not everyone is suitable for Go. In my opinion, these flags are more helpful to generals than Go."That's it, many...
