Chapter 1193: Are You Done with Your Brain?

Chapter 193 Can You See the Crown PrinceChapter 1193 You Don't Want Your Brain Anymore

Leaving the Laoyi Hall, Li Chen still hadn't gone to Zhao Rui's Baihuamen.

There's nothing to it, I'm just too busy.

On the way back to the side hall, Li Chen was in a good mood.

Although there's a saying that "in the dark, all women look the same," that's just a joke.

After a man is finished, for half an hour under the "saint" mode, everything truly feels bland.

But women and women are completely different.

Different personalities require different approaches.

For someone like Zhao Qinglan, you need to find ways to gradually break through all her boundaries and push her to the point where she has no bottom line left.

But someone like Su Jinpa, if you force her, she might comply, but she'll have psychological trauma for the rest of her life.

This woman's pride knows no bounds.

For Su Jinping, you absolutely can't use force; instead, you should treat her coldly.

Once she cooled down, she would start overthinking things on her own.

Love is nothing more than a psychological game between men and women.

Whoever gets the upper hand first, the other party's hope of a comeback becomes very slim.

The next day, as Li Chen just started his work, Chen Tong arrived.

Chen Tong came with a large number of officials.

These officials, Li Chen knew most of them, and a few were those he highly regarded.

And these people have one thing in common: they had a hard time living happily under the suppression of Zhao Xuanji's inner cabinet faction before, and later came around to the East Palace.

In other words, these officials are the people in the palace known as the East Palace faction.

"We, your humble servants, pay our respects to Your Highness."

Looking at the officials kneeling in the side hall, Li Chen said nonchalantly, "You all gathered here early in the morning. Is there something the matter"

Officials looked at each other, their eyes finally converging on Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing let out a wry smile.

Today he really didn't want to come.

But unfortunately, he was almost everyone's eyes the prince's confidant. Such a big thing, he had to come.

Even if he came, he wouldn't dare to speak first. He could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

It's still Chen Tong, reporting in a straightforward manner: "Your Highness, the investigation into the Hu brothers manipulating grain prices has yielded some clues. The case is indeed led by the Hu brothers, but a large number of officials from various departments and ranks are more or less involved."

"How many people" Li Chen asked.

There were thirty-two people in total.

Chen Tong gritted his teeth and handed over a list, saying, "The specific job titles are all listed here."

Wan Jiaojiao immediately walked over and took the list, handing it to Li Chen.

Li Chen spread it out and sneered: “Minister of Household, Ren Da; Vice Minister of Personnel, Cao Rui; Chief Inspector of the Imperial Stable, Liu Chunnian...”

The lineup is indeed quite impressive.

Li Chen closed the list and tossed it aside, saying to Chen Tong: “All those involved will be dealt with strictly according to law.”

When these words fell, a group of officials couldn't help but become agitated.

Xu Changqing knew he had to speak, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, there might be some hidden circumstances in this matter..."

"What secret What are you talking about"

Li Chen directly interrupted Xu Changqing's words, rebuking him: "What kind of secret could make so many officials collude and rob the people of their livelihood If there is really such a secret, it is not a secret, but the source of evil!"

"Xu Changqing, you dare to ask for this This palace thinks you don't want your head anymore!"like usual times when the streets would already be bustling with early marketgoers, there was an unusual quietude.But today, only the Dongchang and government officials walked the streets. No one came...
