Chapter 1056 Zhao Xuanji
Zhao Xuanji's words completely exposed Li Chen's most embarrassing situation.
Li Chen is still the crown prince now. Even though he is already in charge of the country, the authority in his hands is given by the emperor after all.
As long as Li Chen does not ascend to the throne and become emperor for one day, then Li Chen will not be able to grasp the true imperial power for one day.
For local officials, they only recognize imperial edicts and emperor's orders.
This is why this political storm can only be said to be a political storm, not a usurpation of the throne.
What people all over the world saw was that the power struggle between the prince and the cabinet reached a point of war, but it was not that the cabinet rebelled and usurped the throne.
There is an essential difference between the two.
If Li Chen was the emperor, then Zhao Xuanji's actions would be usurping the throne and would directly cause chaos in the world. Anyone with some loyal and conscientious officials in various places would definitely attack Zhao Xuanji.
People in the world will also criticize Zhao Xuanji.
Not seeing that when the country was about to be destroyed in all dynasties, the court and the emperor were so stupid that there would still be countless royalists working hard for the imperial power?
In the feudal era, people's awe and obedience to imperial power were deeply rooted.
They dare not blaspheme the imperial power, or even allow others to blaspheme, otherwise they would be a big fuss.
Therefore, since ancient times, the probability of success of rebellion is extremely low, unless it truly reaches the end of the dynasty and the people are in poverty.
But Daqin has not yet reached that moment.
Li Chen has not become an emperor yet. His struggle with Zhao Xuanji is a struggle between ministers and ministers, a struggle of power, rather than a crime of superiority or usurpation of the throne.
Even though Li Chen was the heir to the empire, the next emperor.
But he is not the emperor after all.
The power of the king is granted divinely, and cannot be desecrated.
The emperor is the son of heaven.
With thousands of years of history in China, emperors from all dynasties have been working together to make the people recognize the power of the king and then deepen the impression until they are engraved into their bones.
Li Chen never said this, but he knew it very well.
Once the yellow robe is in it, it will not only control the power of the supreme human beings, but more importantly, the outer layer of this power is covered with a layer of the cloak of the divine power that cannot be challenged.
"The vassal kings in various places are eyeing each other, and they are already princes. What is the next step? That can only be the 95th Lord."
Zhao Xuanji's words continue.
"But the reason why they didn't take action was because they had no chance. No matter how weak the court was, they were still in the court. Just as the emperor was unconscious, but the emperor was still there for a day. If they took action, they would usurp the throne, rebels, and historical sinners condemned by their ancestors and God."
"But what if the court scattered?"
Zhao Xuanji looked at Li Chen calmly and said in a gentle voice: "When the court scattered and the world was in chaos, they would have the excuse to go to Beijing to serve the king. At that time, the Qin Dynasty would definitely be divided."
"Your Highness, if you don't retreat, you will be defeated by the death, then the court will disperse. So at this moment, the ones in the world who wish you and I will both suffer the most are those vassal kings."
Li Chen looked at Zhao Xuanji and said, "Zhuge Wolong was talking about the scholars in the Eastern Wu back then, which made the counselors of the Eastern Wu speechless. Now the eloquence of the old master is no worse than that of Zhuge Wolong back then."
"Asking a thousand words and ten thousand words, Master Ge is so hardworking that he is persuading me to retreat. Why don't Master Ge retreat? The problems mentioned by Master Ge can be solved as long as you retreat."
