ngqing smiled awkwardly and said carefully: "This... Your Highness, the national treasury is almost running out of money again. This time, the East Palace...""Get lost.""Your humble servant obeys your...Chapter 668 Confrontation

Even a novice who has just entered the officialdom knows the principle of leaving a line of speech, keeping seven points full and three points empty.

This General Liu is truly hot-tempered. He not only curses but also directly ripped off Shangguan Zhao's fig leaf.

At this point, Shangguan Zhao couldn't hold it in any longer.

He flushed red and shouted, "Liu Tongbi! You are talking nonsense and have no idea what the saying 'beware of speaking recklessly' means!"

"Misfortune"

Liu Tongbi sneered and said, "I joined the army at sixteen and single-handedly defeated forty elite Xiongnu warriors on the battlefield at nineteen. For decades, I've been through wind and rain, spending most of my time fighting on the battlefield to earn my achievements and official positions. The only thing I know is that when it comes to being a person and speaking, one should follow their conscience. As for the saying 'beware of what you say,' I don't really know anything about it."

"As for you, Shangguan Zhao, you portray General Su, who leads our troops into battle, as a traitor. Don't you fear that the soldiers will resent you and kill your entire family in the dead of night"

Before it was just cursing, now it's openly threatening Shangguan Zhao.

Shangguan Zhao's face flushed red like a pig liver, obviously enraged to the extreme.

"Ahem."

A cough broke the pointless bickering between the two.

Although the cough was light, both Shangguan Zhao, who had reached his limit of forbearance, and Liu Tongbi, whose arrogance and lawlessness were escalating, fell silent at once.

After coughing, Zhao Xuanji looked at Liu Tongbi with indifference and said in a calm voice, "General Liu, Shangguan Shusheng is the Minister of War. He has the duty to supervise, lead, and manage all the soldiers in the world. Since he holds evidence proving that General Su Pingbei has problems, then we should just address the matter."

"You are so intolerant of others speaking, let alone defending General Su. People will assume that because you and General Su served together, you are close friends. They might even think you're accomplices! Doesn't this create problems for you"

Liu Tongbi's face darkened.

He was a little angry but dared not speak out.

Facing Shangguan Zhao, he dared to point at the other person's nose and scold him, and even if he was angry enough to go up and give him a good beating, it wouldn't be impossible.

Facing Zhao Xuanji, he really didn't dare.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

Zhao Xuanji controlled the government for over ten years. His influence was deeply rooted, and it wasn't just the civil officials who were afraid of him; even the military officers dared not defy him.

Soldier against soldier, general against general.

Liu Tongbi had left Shangguan Zhao speechless, and now that Zhao Xuanji stepped in to save the situation, Su Zhen'ting had a legitimate opportunity to speak.

"Your Excellency, I beg to differ."

Su Zhen Ting said calmly, "If there is injustice, one can naturally speak out for what is right. The men in my army have always been straightforward, with a single gut running through them; they don't waste time on complicated schemes. Since Shangshu claims that my son is not up to par, then let him come to the hall to confront my son directly. This will prevent people from saying that the Su family has suffered misfortune, producing not only a prodigal son but also an old father who shelters him."

As soon as Su Zhenting spoke, the military group immediately found their leader.

Immediately, one by one, they said, "Just have General Su Pingbei come here for a confrontation."

"You bureaucrats are heartless, you can't bear to see others prosper."

"Such coldness of heart, who in the future will still lead troops to battle"

Such words caused the Taihe Palace to instantly become a clamor.

Facing the clash of both military and diplomatic might, Li Chen remained silent.

Only when the clamor reached its peak did he calmly utter, “ Xuan Su, go to the Northern Hall.”No laughter no laughter, this young master likes women who are capable the most. Those vases, though beautiful, are not interesting to play with..."As he spoke, Zhao Tai came forward and raised his ha...
