Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The sudden defeat of the Cui family in Boling led to death with 82 people from all over the Cui Mansion outside Chang'an City.
Let everyone feel the breath of danger.
The emperor did not sleep all night and thought about the way to excuse Zhao Chen at the court meeting tomorrow.
The prince did not sleep all night, thinking about whether he would take this opportunity to completely drive Zhao Chen out of the court and even go to prison.
The King of Wei did not sleep all night and stayed in his secret room all night.
The officials in the court did not sleep, thinking about how to kill Zhao Chen or how to save him.
Only Zhao Chen was sleeping soundly in his room.
The next morning, Zhao Chen got up.
The weather seemed a little gloomy, but no raindrops fell.
Uncle Fu got up very early, and he knew that his son was going to the court meeting today.
This is the great glory of the Zhao family. Everyone who can stand in the court is a big shot.
Their son has only been using it for a year.
But today is different from before!
"Young Master, Uncle Fu will be waiting for you in the mansion today." Uncle Fu and Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Fu Bo has grown much older than last year, and his frowns on his face became thicker.
"Does Dr. Xue invited Uncle Fu to go for several days? You should go today." Zhao Chen said with a smile, drinking porridge.
Doctor Xue should be Uncle Fu’s best friend in Chang’an. He has invited Uncle Fu several times these days, but Uncle Fu was also worried about Zhao Chen and never agreed.
Finally Zhao Chen came back and heard that Zhao Chen was going to be called to Tai Chi Palace for questioning.
How can I still have the intention to play with this?
"It's okay, Lao Xue, I'll just bring the jar of wine. Young Master, eat slowly." Uncle Fu said with a smile.
Even if I worry in my heart, the old man will not show it on his face.
...
Outside the palace city, the ministers stood here, waiting for the palace gate to open.
When Zhao Chen came, there were already people standing around him.
The people who were still talking about it stopped talking and looked here as soon as they saw Zhao Chen.
Many people's eyes were even more sharp.
"Haha, Zhao Chen really dares to come over. I'm afraid he doesn't think that His Majesty will support him this time." Someone whispered, his eyebrows full of pride.
"This Zhao Chen is indeed capable, and no wonder His Majesty cares so much. If it weren't for the advice of the ministers this time, I guess I would have been suppressed by His Majesty again."
"Zhao Chen has been away for so long. Even if he has the ability to ascend to heaven this time, he will fall into the dust."
"Hmph, then you must find a way to make Zhao Chen admit that he killed Cui Yan."
"That's natural. No matter how powerful he is, he can't be a match for so many of us."
"Zhao Chen, how did you rest last night?" Cheng Yaojin walked to Zhao Chen and patted his shoulder.
"It's pretty good." Zhao Chen smiled, his face filled with a relaxed look.
"Haha, I like to see such an expression on your face. Seeing you like this, I feel much more relieved." Cheng Yaojin carried his hands on his back, and looked relieved on his face.
If you lose, you will not lose. No matter what the result is, your momentum cannot be weak.
"Chumo and the others..."
"Don't worry about them, those kids are being served. The key is that you are fine here, everything is easy to do." Qin Qiong stood aside and said to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen nodded.
Cheng Chumo and the others all have their own family support, and no one dares to offend them.
However, Zhao Chen himself, if he cannot pass this level today, that would be a big problem.
"you……"
"Your Majesty has an order, and all officials will enter the court." The palace gate was suddenly opened, and the eunuch shouted in a sharp voice.
Qin Qiong wanted to give some instructions, but at this moment he stopped and patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder and said, "Be careful, go in."
...
There are many people coming to the court meeting today.
Basically, everyone who can come will come.
The queen, prince, Wei King, and even Li Zhi came here today.
All officials stood in two rows and waited for the emperor to speak.
"Today's court meeting, let's not talk about anything else. The 82 people from the Boling Cui family, including its head Cui Yan, were killed outside Chang'an City overnight."
"All my dear friends say that Zhao Chen is the murderer. Today, I will ask you carefully whether this person was killed by Zhao Chen."
"Come on, let Zhao Chen come in."
Li Shimin sat above, talking expressionlessly, then waved his hand and asked Zhao Chen to come into the hall.
Everyone looked to the entrance of Tai Chi Hall.
Zhao Chen slowly walked out of the hall, calmly, and someone could even see the faint smile on his face.
"Bold Zhao Chen, as the founding county duke, you actually killed 82 members of the Cui family. What is your intention?"
After Zhao Chen took two steps, an official rushed over and slammed Zhao Chen's face with his fists.
If this is hit, it will have to be bruised for at least a few days.
Zhao Chen really didn't expect these people to be so crazy.
But how powerful can a middle-aged man who is not diligent in four bodies, does not distinguish between grains, and is hollowed out by wine and sex.
Zhao Chen has never practiced it, but it is easy to avoid such a punch.
After taking a slight step back, the middle-aged official's fist was empty. Perhaps he used too much force and continued to rush forward.
Zhao Chen raised his foot and kicked the middle-aged official's butt.
Without surprise, the middle-aged official fell to the ground and his nose was bleeding.
"Zhao Chen, how can you be so arrogant in the court?" An official from the Censorate immediately stood up and accused Zhao Chen of his actions just now.
As for the behavior of the middle-aged official, it seemed that he had intentionally neglected it.
"Old guy, although I, Zhao Chen, have never practiced it, I think I can still break your bones with two punches. Why don't I try it?" Zhao Chen walked to the officials of the Censorate and patted him with a smile.
shoulders.
The officials of the Censorate are an old guy. It seems that this is much bigger than Wei Zheng.
After hearing Zhao Chen's words, the officials of the Censorate changed their expressions. When they looked at the emperor, they had no expression at all.
Of course I dare not speak anymore.
After all, Zhao Chen and Cui Yan even killed him as soon as he said that he would kill him. He would break his bones. Isn’t that a matter of talking?
"Your Majesty, let's ask Zhao County Duke about Cui Yan first." Fang Xuanling bowed and Li Shimin and said.
If this continues, I don’t know when this matter will be done.
"Zhao Chen, Cui Yan is dead, do you know?" Li Shimin stood up, walked slowly to Zhao Chen's side, and said in a deep voice.
"That's a happy thing for everyone. I was thinking of asking the bookstore to buy some firecrackers today and celebrate it tonight."
"Your Majesty, and you all, why not come to Wangyou Bookstore to enjoy the fireworks at night!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this.
This kid is not shy at all, and he wishes everyone could know that he hopes Cui Yan dies.
Although everyone knows it, it cannot be said like this.
Sure enough, before Li Shimin could speak, an official stood up, pointed at Zhao Chen, opened his eyes wide open, and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Chen hates Cui Yan so much, and someone smashed Cui's store the day before yesterday, forcing Cui to
Yan can only leave Chang'an."
"It must be Zhao Chen, who killed all the Cui family."
