Chapter 1037: This Palace Will Not Lower My Head

tims.”After all, there is land to cultivate and food to eat. No one would be willing to revolt.Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "Did you overhear this yourself, or did your father tell you about it...This Palace Cannot Bow Its Head

"Li Chen!"

Deeply humiliated by Li Chen's calmness, Li Yinhu flew into a rage. He rode his white horse, pointing at Li Chen and berating him, "Is it even worth pretending to be so composed now that things have come to this"

“You and I, we both share the blood of the royal family. Don't think I won't give you a chance. Right now, if you willingly abdicate, I can promise everyone that I will treat you well, allowing you to live out your days in luxury and riches, but if you remain stubborn... ”

"If this palace were stubborn, then what" Li Chen asked coldly.

In contrast to Li Yinhu's agitation, Li Chen's tone remained calm and collected.

It seems he never took Li Yinhu seriously from the beginning.

And it was this very calmness that stung Li Yinhu even more.

This time, before Li Yinhu could answer, Li Chen said again: "What are you here for today"

Li Yinhu was taken aback.

He thought the question was absurd.

Next, Li Chen's words made his face stiffen.

"You came today to rebel."

Li Yinhu roared angrily, "I did not! I didn't!"

"Bringing over ten thousand rebel soldiers to the Taimiao Temple to force the crown prince to abdicate, isn't this a rebellion" Li Chen asked.

"If you openly admit that you're here to rebel, I might even look down on you with a bit more respect. But you're doing things right in front of everyone and then refuse to acknowledge it! What do you call that Acting like a prostitute but trying to put up a facade"

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Pingbei, who was listening, punched his left palm with his right fist and felt a surge of satisfaction.

But Li Yinhu was not happy about that.

He stared coldly at Li Chen, his face contorted with anger and shame. He gritted out a sentence: "I said it was your incompetence that led to this. I cannot bear to see the ancestral foundation crumble because of you..."

"You think you can beat me"

Li Chen's unprovoked curse, broke the silence of the courtyard outside Taimiao Temple, leaving everyone speechless.

No one could have imagined that the dignified Crown Prince would scold someone in front of thousands of people.

Li Yinhu's eyes widened in shock, a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, almost choking him.

“Since I have taken charge of the country, I have first alleviated disasters, then quelled rebellions, then reorganized government affairs, filled the empty treasury, and implemented both frugality and increased revenue. Which one of these things could you, Li Yinhu, possibly do Why don't you just be straightforward Do you want my position as Crown Prince, or do you even aspire to sit on the Dragon Throne Couldn't you just be more direct”

After much debate, Li Yin felt his chest tighten like a bellows. He now truly understood what it meant to be so angry your lungs would explode.

This is not an exaggeration. When someone is truly enraged, their lungs can feel like they're being pierced by needles, as if they're about to explode.

At the same time, he also knew he absolutely couldn't keep entangling himself with Li Chen like this.

If he persists in this, the morale of his army will be shattered.

Gritting his teeth, Li Yinhu said coldly, "There's no point in talking. I just ask you, are you leaving or not!"

“Li Chen, since you took power, you have committed many injustices. The court has long been resentful of you. You are losing the support of your allies, and in this situation, I give you my final advice: Bow your head before it's too late, or you will lose your life.”

Li Chen chuckled softly, he raised his head to look at the darkening sky, with the distant shouts of killing still echoing in his ears. Then, he calmly turned to Li Yinhu and said: "A few days ago, this palace had the imperial physician examine my body. The physician said that everything else about this palace is healthy, except for a slight ailment in my spine, which is... I can't bow my head too low."000 mouths have become a huge burden.Li Chen asked: "How long can the current reserves of the army support us""Seven days."Wu Qingcang was clearly prepared. He immediately replied, "If we economize, w...
