Su Zhen-ting was full of righteous indignation, staring at the officials who were stunned by his outburst. He roared, "You say that His Highness has been killing court officials indiscriminately! I ask you, to this day, which official killed by His Highness was not deserving of death!"

"Each and every one of them is a criminal, corrupt to the core, doing whatever it takes to steal and pervert justice."

These people are all those who deserve death. If they are not killed, the corruption within the Qin dynasty's government will not be purged, and the dark clouds hanging over Qin will never dissipate!

Each and every one of them, after the fact, uncovered a mountain of evidence proving their crimes. Even if they were resurrected, they would be speechless. They deserve to be killed!

Su Zhen's voice rose higher and higher, his face grave as he stated: "If you say that the prince is cruel, then this general will tell you a story."

"A few days ago, a group of young masters from influential families bumped into Your Highness. Most of their fathers are standing right here. If Your Highness were truly cruel, would they be allowed to live"

"But how did Your Highness do it Instead of punishing them, he took pity on them and hoped to save them. He sent them all to the military camp for training. It has been some time now, and as far as I know, most of those who were usually mischievous and idle sons of wealthy families have reformed and their spirits have been completely renewed."

"How can this possibly prove that the prince is cruel"

His Highness is not only not cruel, but his benevolence and compassion are evident to all.

As soon as Su Zhenting uttered these words, several officials in Taihe Hall whose own children had been sent to the military camp by Li Chen all showed approval on their faces.

Those wastrels who have managed to get this far must mean their families couldn't control them anymore. However, after being sent to the military camp, although they suffered a lot, their temper and personality did change for the better.

These officials were deeply grateful to the prince for this alone.

Seeing that many were wavering, Su Zhen'ting let out a cold snort and struck while the iron was hot: "Speaking of the money house affair, the prince and this general know that many of you are very dissatisfied with it. The grumbling behind closed doors has not escaped this general's ears. However, both the prince and this general have chosen not to hold it against you."

"Why did the imperial court open this bank"

"To gather the wealth of all people under heaven for the use of the empire and society."

"As the saying goes, 'To take from the people and use it for the people is the principle.' "

"Don't you know what the state of the imperial treasury is like It's practically empty! If Your Highness doesn't find a way to increase revenue and cut expenses, and turn around the entire court's finances, in just another year or two, we'll all be eating dirt!"

"Your salaries, the fine clothes and delicious food for your wives and children, all come from the court. They are all things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has painstakingly struggled to secure for you. Yet what you are doing now is no different from eating a bowl of rice and then cursing your mother after putting down your chopsticks!"

Speaking of which, Su Zhen-ting let out a cold sneer and said, "Your Highness didn't scold you wrong. You all appear righteous on the surface, but behind your backs, you're nothing but male thieves and female prostitutes. This general is putting it plainly: if any of you dare to have any improper thoughts, this general's sword doesn't discriminate."

After he finished speaking, Su Zhen Ting also swept his sleeves and left.

He also took away a large number of officials and most of the generals from the East Palace faction.

These are all loyal supporters of the East Palace.

The Taihe Hall suddenly became much quieter.

Zhao Xuanji frowned slightly.

It was a perfectly harmonious matter until Su Zhen's words ruined the effect, which made him quite annoyed.

This isn't over yet.

An official, seeing that Dantai Jing was also about to leave, suddenly spoke up and asked, "Dantai sir, about today's events, don't you have a few words to say The prince has treated loyal ministers so harshly..."Li Yinhǔ asked in a low voice.The steward was taken aback for a moment before replying, "Returning to your Royal Highness, there should still be about four or five thousand taels of silver available i...
