Chapter 1350 The Prince’s Speech
Chapter 1350 The Prince's Lecture
At this time, the night was already dark, but the lights were brightly lit in the Governor's Mansion.
The first time Li Chen arrived, the Jinyiwei had already taken over all the defense and security of the entire Governor's Office.
Although the original guards in the Governor's Mansion were inexplicable, they heard about who was coming. After just what happened at the city gate, they all honestly handed over their weapons and were ordered to leave the mansion by the Jinyiwei.
In the conference hall, Li Chen sat at the top of the head, with a daily mileage of regaining signs.
Cheng Fuzhao knelt down honestly.
Soon, most of the other officials who were qualified to listen to His Highness the Crown Prince's lectures were willing or forced to appear in the chamber one after another.
"Have everyone arrived?" Li Chen took a sip of tea and asked.
Cheng Fuzhao turned his head and glanced at the scene, then replied with a thorn in mind, "Report to your Highness, most of the people have arrived."
"Most? That's not all."
Li Chen put down the teacup and said to Ogawako indifferently: "Take people there, no matter what the reasons are for those officials who have not arrived yet, since they haven't arrived tonight, they will never be used in the future."
Ogawako understood Li Chen's meaning and immediately took the order and left.
This alone made the Ganzhou officials in the conference hall feel the cruel methods of the Crown Prince.
That is the absolute ruthless man who can't rub the sand in his eyes.
Li Chen waved his hand and the door of the conference hall was closed.
The sound of the door closing sounded infinite fear in many officials in the chamber.
They don’t know what fate is waiting for them.
With his fingers slowly tapping the table, Li Chen leaned lazily on the chair and said, "Something happened today. Some of you have seen it with your own eyes, and some have not seen it with your own eyes, but on the way here, I must have heard some of the wind."
"That's right, He Long, the commander of Ganzhou and Shaanxi, died at the hands of our palace. The crime was for rebellion."
"In the military camp, I have sent someone to suppress it. As for you, I want to ask you a question today..."
His eyes swept over the more than ten officials of all sizes at the conference hall. Li Chen's eyes looked like lightning and asked: "Is this Ganzhou and Shaanxi still the Ganzhou and Shaanxi of the Qin Dynasty, the Ganzhou and Shaanxi of the imperial court, and the Ganzhou and Shaanxi of the Li family?"
Li Chen's tone was stable in the previous few words, but the last sentence was mixed with three questions, each of which was like a thunderbolt on his head, which made all the already panic-ridden officials tremble.
Without hesitation, the group of officials immediately replied: "The officials and the people in Gansu and Shaanxi are united and loyal to His Highness!"
"The officials and the people in Gansu and Shaanxi are united in one's heart and loyal to His Highness!"
It was not until this answer was repeated three times by all officials that Li Chen showed a satisfied expression on his face.
He raised his hand and signaled that the officials could stop, and then said, "This answer is still Zhongzheng, but I also know that many people say one thing, but they think another."
Without waiting for the officials to argue for themselves, Li Chen continued: "But I do not intend to be too strict. When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are careful, there will be no disciples. I do not need you to be clean and honest. What I want is that you recognize your position and identity, and look down to see which dynasty official uniform is spreading on your body, and who is in your pocket to pay your salary."
