perty, I found that the Hu family has been bribing Dali Temple Qing Sun Boling for years. Their letters reveal the amount and time of the bribes, often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands...Chapter 1646: Crown Princess, A Thousand Years! A Thousand Years! A Thousand Thousand Years!

Zhao Xuanji remained calm and composed, replying with indifference: "As the Minister of Rites, I have the authority to inspect all departments within the ministry, including their leaders, ministers, and commanders. Although I do not have the power to appoint or dismiss them, I believe your conduct is unbecoming of your position. Therefore, I temporarily suspend your duties and entrust them to someone else. Is there anything wrong with that"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao He Shan's face turned ashen.

The Ministry of Officials does indeed have that authority.

Although the Ministry of Officials has no power to appoint or remove officials from various government departments, if a provincial governor believes that an individual poses serious problems that could disrupt the functioning of an entire institution and even government affairs, causing significant negative consequences, they can suspend them from duty.

Although it was only a suspension, not dismissal or removal from office, at this critical juncture, the suspension proved to be fatal.

Within the Taihe Palace, the atmosphere was turbulent and unpredictable.

No one expected that after Zhao Xuanji bared her fangs, the situation would develop so rapidly and deteriorate to such a serious extent.

As expected, Zhao Xuanji is still Zhao Xuanji. He never acts unless necessary, but once he does, he strikes with the force of thunder, leaving his enemies no room to breathe.

The current situation is extremely grave.

Su Zhendong's face was as dark as water. He knew that if this continued, he had to step in.

Moreover, Zhao Xuanji has probably already prepared a way to deal with him.

But the prince was not there, he had to step up and straighten his spine for the East Palace faction.

At this very moment, outside the Taihe Palace, a deafening shout pierced the sky, echoing throughout the entire hall.

"The Crown Princess has arrived!!!"

The sudden, abrupt chant startled all the officials.

This time, it was the East Palace faction that was ecstatic, while Fu Yuzhi and others were full of surprise and uncertainty.

Zhaoxuanji remained unmoved, seemingly unaffected.

Outside the palace gate, a woman in red walked by.

The red dress swept the ground, swaying gracefully.

An ordinary woman would never dare to wear such a pure red. It not only picks at the owner's appearance and figure, but also their temperament.

One hundred women, ninety-nine fail to grasp its essence.

But Su Jinping could.

Not only that, but it also brings out the nobility, beauty, and peerless charm bestowed by this vibrant red to the fullest.

Fu Yuzhi and others stared intently at Su Jinpa as she approached, her beauty was beyond compare. She seemed to radiate a gentle charm simply by standing there, brightening the solemn and imposing Taihe Hall with a touch of femininity.

Su Jinpa's slender frame exuded grace and beauty, yet the officials around Fu Yuzhi felt an intense sense of apprehension.

No one will forget that day when the prince got married. It was pouring rain, and this seemingly delicate woman almost single-handedly turned the tide of fortune.

Today, she once again appeared in the public eye, and no one dared to take it lightly.

After Su Jinpa stepped into the Taihe Hall, he didn't stop. He first went to Dantangjing and said with a slight smile: "Thank you, sir."

Everyone suddenly understood why Dantai Jingzhi had appeared so suddenly. It turned out that the Crown Princess was manipulating things behind the scenes.

"Dàntài Jìng bowed his hand, saying with a sigh, 'Your Highness need not be polite. It's this old man who was foolish and hoped to put an end to the matter.'"

"Please take a rest first, sir."

Su Jinpa softly uttered a sentence, then followed the central axis all the way to the foot of the golden steps of the dragon throne. Then she turned around and faced the civil and military officials.

Su Zhen Ting immediately bowed and said, "We subjects greet the Crown Princess. May the Crown Princess live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

As soon as Su Zhenting spoke, all the officials from the Donggong faction immediately followed suit. Then, other officials who were hesitant also followed suit and bowed their heads respectfully.

"We, your subjects, pay our respects to the Crown Princess. May the Crown Princess live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand and a thousand years!"Zhen Ting bowed and said, "The rebels in Xishan Province have turned on each other, fighting to the death right now. They don't even need the imperial court to intervene; they will destroy themselves....
