Although this middle-aged official was not a prominent figure in the Taihe Hall, he stood at the top of the pyramid representing tens of millions of people in the Qin Dynasty. Having clawed his way into the Taihe Hall and secured a place for himself, he was undoubtedly an elite among the elites of this era.

The moment he opened his mouth, his voice soared to an exceptionally high pitch.

Attempting to suppress Li Chen with this tone.

"Speak for the people."

Li Chen laughed angrily and said, "Good, good, a voice for the people."

“If you act on behalf of the people, then this palace would be a foolish and ignorant crown prince who disregards the will of the people, wouldn't it!”

Faced with Li Chen's forceful questioning, the middle-aged official finally cracked.

His forehead was beaded with sweat, and he gritted his teeth, saying: “Your Majesty, I... I didn't mean it that way.”

"What do you mean!"

Li Chen glared angrily and rebuked, "The treacherous hearts of the Liao nation, I have already told you time and again with the utmost sincerity. Does the Liao nation intend to cooperate with Da Qin! They are wolves with ambitions, attempting to seize control of Yueya Pass without shedding a single drop of blood!"

What is Yueya Guan!？

“For centuries, the Liao Kingdom has harbored covetous desires for the rich lands of our Great Qin. However, the Moonlit Pass has acted as an insurmountable barrier, preventing them from making any headway for a hundred years. Once they cross the Moonlit Pass, they would directly enter the fertile plains of Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, with unimpeded access to Hebei, Beijing, and even the very heartland of China. The capital city itself would be exposed to the Liao cavalry.”

"Back then, who was going to stop them Was it you, or this palace!"

Li Chen became increasingly angry as he spoke.

This middle-aged official before us has always been the one he favored most, someone who stands in the middle and doesn't lean towards either the East Palace or the cabinet.

These people, regardless of their political stance, have the ingrained bad habits of intellectuals.

To possess abundance and peace is to fear war's danger.

Because the war would take away their comfortable life at present.

Over the years, the Qin Dynasty faced repeated defeats against the Liao Kingdom. While there were certainly factors within the military contributing to these losses, the actions of these civil officials both in the court and on the front lines, jumping around and causing chaos, were also a major factor.

If the entire nation were to unite as one, who could stand against the Chinese people!

Whoever comes, crush them and leave them there.

These self-righteous literati, who claim to be full of morality and righteousness, have prioritized their own personal interests by constantly seeking compromise and concessions. This has resulted in the loss of our territory, national dignity, and ultimately, the very spirit of our nation.

These people, in Li Chen's view, were even more deserving of death than the corrupt officials within the cabinet.

"The calamity of factional disputes is confined to a single dynasty, but the disaster of selling out one's country for glory will plague China forever!"

Li Chen turned his head, his gaze fiercely sweeping over the faces of every official in Taihe Hall. He said in a chilling voice: "Today, this palace will reiterate once again, from the lowest commoners to the highest relatives of the emperor, including all of you officials who are the pillars of the state, you can stand and die, but you must never kneel and live."

"The struggle between nations is a fight for the survival of our nation, for the honor of our ancestors, and for the foundation upon which future generations will stand. If we lose this in our generation, we will have no face to meet our forefathers in heaven, nor will we be able to bear the scorn of our descendants in the underworld."

"An official of the Qin Dynasty must never be soft! The monarch of the Qin Dynasty shall never seek peace!"

"And, it's earned, not given!"

After Li Chen finished speaking, he didn't even glance at the middle-aged official whose face was as white as paper. He ordered, "Drag him away and behead him!"

As soon as these words were uttered, a wave of astonishment swept through the court.ly.""Otherwise, you Bai Lian Jiao bunch will be wiped out sooner or later by this palace."Is the Land Immortal Realm very powerfulOnce I develop firearms, we'll see if you are truly impervious to blad...
