Li Chen's angry shout startled Xi Wanli.

His face instantly turned pale, and he wanted to refute the sarcasm, but looking at Li Chen's angry and majestic figure at this time, he was shocked to realize that the young prince in front of him was no longer the cowardly and timid prince who could bully and manipulate at will.

Even Zhao Xuanji has to make political balances and compromises with him.

And since the crown prince was in charge of the country, there are not a few ministers who have blood on his hands.

Thinking of this, Xi Wanli arched his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Weichen doesn't dare."

"Don't dare!? This palace sees that you dare very much!"

Li Chen sneered and said: "As the secretary of the military department, the former deputy commander of Yulinwei made Liu Bincheng under your nose and robbed the court of a full four million treasury silver, such a big thing, the main culprit is of course Liu Bincheng, but as the secretary of the first department, this palace will treat you for a crime of dereliction of duty and lax imperial majesty, do you have something to say!?".

Xi Wanli's pupils shrank, and at this time he knew that the prince was really going to take him under the knife, and he hurriedly defended: "Weichen really doesn't know about this matter, then Liu Bin is the deputy commander of Yulinwei, and he is in a high position, and he does not obey discipline, although Weichen is in command of the military department, but he does not have much control over Yulinwei, he wants to find death, how can Weichen stop him?"

Li Chen said coldly: "He is in a high position, and the power of you, the second-grade military department Shangshu, is even heavier?"

"Today, a Liu Bin can rob the treasury silver at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and in the future, Zhao Jianye, who is the commander of Yulinwei, can he directly admonish the East Palace and kill the palace!?"

"Prince, you want to add to the crime!" "This palace is still going to want to add your crime!"

For

this Zhao Xuanji's henchman in the court, Li Chen had no intention of letting him go from the beginning.

"Do you think that relying on the cabinet and relying on Zhao Xuanji, this palace will not dare to touch you? You don't want to think about it, if Zhao Xuanji is sure to let this palace bow his head, how can you let such a military secretary first reach out and ask for silver, the more than 10 million taels of silver, this palace is going to take it to disaster relief, no one can move it, he Zhao Xuanji is not clear?"

"You are just a chess piece he used to test the bottom line of this palace and throw stones to ask for directions."

Li Chen sneered, looked at Xi Wanli's blue and red changing face, and said coldly: "Come!"

The eunuch of the Three Treasures immediately appeared outside the Xi Zheng Hall and said respectfully: "The

slave is here." "

Pass the order.

Li Chen looked at Xi Wanli, and said indifferently: "There is a secretary of the military department, Xi Wanli, who does not respect the prince for the ministers, does not abide by his duties as an official, is not strict with the emperor, and connives, so that the dead rebel Liu Bin undertakes to rob the imperial treasury silver, which shows his character and ability, and he is not qualified for the post of secretary of the imperial military department, so he will be immediately dismissed from his post and investigated, exiled for 3,000 li, and will not be allowed to return to Beijing forever unless he is amnesty!"

Squinting his eyes, looking at Xi Wanli, whose face had changed drastically and was full of panic and horror, Li Chen added: "Write this decree into a book, affix the prince's seal, and send a copy to the Ministry of Officials, the Cabinet, and the General's Mansion.

Sanbao kowtowed respectfully and said, "The slave obeys the order."

Xi Wanli's face was full of shock, and he only felt that the sky was about to fall, and he roared angrily: "Surrender! The prince is so strict, he is not convinced!"

"Disobedient?"

Li Chen sneered and said indifferently: "This palace is the emperor's prison on behalf of the country, and the order of this palace is the emperor's order, that is, the mandate of heaven, if you don't accept it, what can you do?"
