"I reported the truth, what crime did you commit?" Yang Shen frowned and did not give in. "What I am impeaching is unclear accounting and excessive consumption! Prime Minister Chen blocked the right and left, and defended it in every possible way. Could it be... Is there something hidden in it that I am afraid people will know?!"
"You!" Chen Xilie was so angry that his beard was trembling, pointing at Yang Shenjin, and was speechless for a moment.
"Enough!"
On the throne, Xuanzong finally spoke. His voice was not high, but it carried an unquestionable majesty. Suddenly, the whole hall was silent. Chen Xilie and Yang Shenjin both bowed immediately and did not dare to say anything more.
Xuanzong's eyes slowly swept over the two of them, and finally landed on Li Heng. The look was complicated, with scrutiny, consideration, and perhaps a hint of touched sullenness.
"When discussing affairs in the imperial court, be careful to be calm. Noisy and clamoring are unbecoming." Xuanzong's voice returned to calmness, and no emotion could be heard. "The matter of border town Duzhi... What the prince said is not unreasonable. The concerns of Prime Minister Chen are also the words of a mature man who seeks to plan the country."
