Dàn Tai Jìng's words left the Taihé Hall in stunned silence.

The main hall of the Taihe Palace is extremely spacious.

In general, for large-scale court gatherings where both civil and military officials attend, they would be arranged on either side based on the principle of "civils to the left, military to the right".

If it's a small gathering, there aren't as many rules, but officials mostly stand with allies they know and who share their political views.

Whether it's a grand court session or a small one, the layout of the Taihe Hall always places the emperor's dragon throne as the central axis facing directly at the palace gate. From there, the emperor can overlook the Jinshui Bridge. On both sides stand officials in their designated positions.

And today, at this unusually different meeting, everyone tacitly took their positions according to their respective camps.

On the left are former officials from the Cabinet led by Zhao Xuanji. Though repeatedly weakened by Li Chen's actions, their influence has significantly diminished. However, they still number many and hold positions of high rank, far exceeding those on the right, the East Palace faction.

While Dantai Jingzhi stood alone on the central axis, facing the Dragon Throne directly, he leaned neither toward Zhao Xuanji nor toward Donggong led by Su Zhenti.

He seemed to be telling everyone with this detail that he himself had no political stance.

But what he said made one wonder.

Zhao Xuanji's expression remained unchanged, he calmly looked at Dantai Jingzhi, who was also looking back at him.

At this moment, everyone was silent.

At this point, only Zhao Xuanji was qualified to continue the conversation.

Moments later, Zhao Xuanji calmly said: "Master, rowing against the current."

Dantai Jingzhi had said that in the Taihe Palace, one should address others according to their official rank, and everyone abided by this rule.

But now Zhao Xuanji still calls him Master.

This indicates that Zhao Xuanji still respects Dantang Jing as a person rather than the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

This sentence was also Zhao Xuanji's reply to the widely renowned "Mr."

Only half a sentence.y gold and silver gifts for you to take away. Both of you, just take them, Mr. He absolutely has no ulterior motives."Even a fool would know that so many benefits couldn't be obtained for nothing. He...
