Chapter 211: I Object

longer as pure as they once were, and the atmosphere in the government is extremely corrupt. There are many reasons for this phenomenon.But most importantly, the imperial court's control was weakened....Chapter 211: This subject objects.

Within the Taihe Palace, there was an uproar.

The ministers were shocked, so much so that they forgot their surroundings and began whispering to each other, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Most ministers were unaware of the specifics of last night's banquet at the East Palace, and they didn't have many informants to tell them about it.

Therefore, besides some true core ministers, such as the Grand Councilors and those close to Li Chen, most officials were unaware of this.

"This old minister dares to ask Your Majesty a question: Is the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow the sword once worn by the Taizu Emperor Did it vanish along with the Taizu's treasure"

In the Taihe Hall, a white-haired old man bowed and asked.

Li Chen glanced at him. The man was already seventy years old, serving as the headmaster of the Imperial Academy. He didn't hold much real power, but his reputation was extremely high. He was the only remaining official from three dynasties in the court. In his daily life, he didn't participate in political struggles and belonged to the neutral faction that neither provoked anyone nor was actively offended by anyone.

Li Chen nodded and said, "This sword is unique in the world, and no one has the guts to forge it. This palace has already had people verify it, and it is indeed a genuine Dali Long Que."

As soon as Li Chen confirmed, the entire court erupted in an uproar.

The white-haired national scholar, the head of the Imperial Academy, was so moved that he wept tears of joy. He cried out loudly, “May our ancestors protect us! May our ancestors protect us!”

"Back then, during the reign of our founder Emperor, this Great Liang Dragon Sparrow was the sword of the emperor. However, it later disappeared without a trace. Except for our founder, no one else in the world knew its whereabouts. Now, after over three hundred years, it has reappeared! It's truly a blessing from our founder!"

"There is a rumor that the Great Liang Long Bird and the treasure were hidden together by the Taizu, to be used only when the country was at its most critical juncture. However, as time passed, everyone who knew about the treasure has since died. For over three hundred years, no one has been able to find the treasure left by the Taizu. Now that it has suddenly appeared, it must be a sign that the Qin Dynasty will experience a resurgence!"

Li Chen now looks at this old man, that's called pleasing to the eye.

He spoke almost everything Li Chen wanted to say but couldn't bring himself to utter.

After the old man finished his exclamation, he knelt down before Li Chen, bowing respectfully and earnestly saying: "My lord, I implore you to find the location of the treasure as soon as possible. In this way, our great Qin, which is currently in decline, can be fully revitalized!"

The courtiers looked at each other in astonishment.

The old man spoke with complete righteousness, his words faultless and irrefutable.

They looked at each other, then at Zhao Xuanji who sat in silent contemplation, his expression as steadfast as a mountain. They were unsure how to proceed.

And at this moment, the officials who attended the Donggong banquet last night were even more conflicted.

It's time for them to choose sides.

The current situation remains unclear, and no one can say for sure how the Crown Prince and the Chief Minister will react.

Li Chen glanced at the motionless Zhao Xuanji and said calmly, "Master Ji please stand up first."

After the old man trembled and stood up, Li Chen finally said: "Finding the treasure is also this palace's wish, but it's not easy."

There have always been rumors that the First Emperor's Treasure wasn't within the territory of Great Qin, but rather in the Xian Dynasty. However, no one has ever been able to find it. Now that the Xian Dynasty envoy has brought the Big Liang Dragon Sparrow, it proves that the treasure is indeed within the Xian Dynasty.

"Now, this also relates to the second thing I wanted to say."

Li Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "The Xian Dynasty was invaded by the Japanese pirates from the East Indies. Its destruction and extermination could happen in an instant. It requested that our great Qin send troops to help the Xian Dynasty sweep away the pirates..."

Li Chen's words had not yet finished when Zhang Biwu, the university scholar of Wuyin Hall, suddenly stepped forward and interrupted loudly: "I oppose!"the truth, was completely astounded.When did they conduct the testAnd how is such power achievedSong Yingxing subconsciously glanced at his own Crown Prince, but saw that the Prince had a nonchalant e...
