"Ah Yeh--"
In the Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun was changing clothes for the emperor.
The emperor suddenly sneezes, which scared Empress Changsun.
"But I caught a cold at the banquet last night?"
"I have someone make a bowl of ginger soup for Your Majesty, and it will get hot!" said Empress Changsun.
"No need, I'm not catching a cold. I guess that kid is talking to me behind my back!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said casually.
"Zhao Chen was married yesterday. His Majesty asked him to come to court early this morning. How can you not talk about you?"
"Even if I am a concubine, I feel that Your Majesty is not very kind!" Empress Changsun smiled.
She was still waiting for Li Ruoshuang to give birth to a fat boy for her.
In the future, you can live a life of a long life.
But the day after Rencai got married, the emperor sent someone to call Zhao Chen to court.
How can this make people thunder and lightning?
It would be strange if you don’t mind him!
"I call him to court today, and I have something important to him."
"You also know that Lingyan Pavilion has not been built yet, but this is a big event for my Tang Dynasty."
"The late civil and military officials and generals all hope that their names can appear in Lingyan Pavilion."
"So, it is extremely important who is responsible for this matter!" Li Shimin said slowly.
The construction of Lingyan Pavilion has always been the emperor's wish.
Since Du Ruhui passed away, the emperor has had this idea.
The Tang Dynasty was built by heroes, and letting their names be remembered by future generations is what he, as an emperor, should do.
But this list of Lingyan Pavilion is really a top priority.
The person in charge of this list is even more important.
The emperor's first choice was naturally Zhao Chen.
But he also knew that Zhao Chen was too young after all, and many people would not convince him when sitting in this position.
Today's court meeting is about discussing this matter.
"Your Majesty wants that child Zhao Chen to do this?" Empress Changsun naturally understood the emperor's meaning.
"Yes, except for Wei Zheng and others, Zhao Chen has little to do with him."
"Also, this kid is very capable. Although he is lazy and unwilling to do things, if the next task is completed, it will be eye-catching.
"I want him to be responsible for the assessment of this hero." The emperor nodded.
He thought about it all night last night.
Zhao Chen is responsible for evaluating the list of heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, which can greatly avoid the substitution of personal subjective emotions.
There will not be too many deviations in the evaluation results.
If it were the crown prince or the king of Wei, then the people around them would definitely want to be on the list.
"Your Majesty's idea is good, but the ministers in the court may not agree so simply." Empress Changsun reminded.
Even she herself did not realize that the ministers would accept a young man's determination of their past achievements.
What about the heroes who are related to their own interests?
"This matter needs to be done slowly, and see the situation today!" Li Shimin said slowly.
Even he himself is not sure.
...
"Today's court meeting is probably not simple. Your Majesty said yesterday that he would build Lingyan Pavilion. Today's court meeting must have something to do with this!"
"The heroes have similar views. Today's dynasty meeting is probably going to choose the person in charge of the merit assessment."
"This is a huge errand. Do you think His Majesty will choose who will be responsible for this matter?"
"This is hard to say. Who can guess His Majesty's thoughts accurately? But it should be someone who has nothing to do with this merit assessment!"
"Crown Prince, King Wei, should be the candidate!"
"The prince and the King of Wei are probably not considering the candidates this time, and there are too many heroes gathered around them."
"From me, the candidate in Your Majesty's heart is probably Zhao Chen."
"Zhao Chen!?"
Someone exclaimed, and there was no more sound.
The person who was still talking just now stopped talking.
It is extremely rare that no one even said something about Zhao Chen's unworthy today.
"Your Majesty has an order, and all officials will enter the court!" The eunuch's voice sounded.
A group of court officials slowly entered the palace city.
When Zhao Chen came, there was no one outside.
Holding a few buns in his hand, he was walking slowly.
"My County Lord, please hurry up a little, this court meeting has begun!" The eunuchs who went to invite Zhao Chen to the court were about to be anxious to Zhao Chen.
He was sent by the emperor early in the morning to invite Zhao Chen to court.
After waiting in Zhao's Mansion for most of the day, he saw Zhao Chen coming out slowly.
I finally got out of the house and thought I could finally go to Tai Chi Hall to pay tribute.
Who knew that Zhao Chen took a detour and went to another street to get a few buns to eat.
Just eat it, I stood there and talked to the servant of Wangyou Baozi Shop for a long time.
Another cart of buns came over.
What's the matter, do you Zhao Chen still want to sell buns with Tai Chi Palace?
It was bright and the sun was coming out.
All the officials went to court, and they were still swaying here slowly.
The eunuch is going to die of anxiety for Zhao Chen.
This is what the emperor is not in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be in a hurry to be
"Don't worry, if you don't eat a bun, you have worked hard this morning!" Zhao Chen handed a paper bag to the eunuch, which contained two buns.
The eunuch hesitated for a moment and took it over.
He dared not not accept what the county duke gave.
"Mr. Duke, you are the first person you have ever met to ask His Majesty to send someone to court, but you are still slow."
"If it were someone else, Qianniuwei would come out to get people!" The eunuch bit the bun and said to Zhao Chen with admiration.
"Hehe, it's not as mysterious as you said. I'm hungry on the road, people always have to eat!" Zhao Chen smiled and walked towards the Tai Chi Hall in front.
...
"Where is Zhao Chen?"
"Didn't I ask someone to call him to court?"
In the Tai Chi Hall, the emperor went to the court with an empty stomach, looked up and saw no trace of Zhao Chen.
"Your Majesty, I've been here, but I haven't arrived yet!" said the eunuch and the emperor who were accompanying him.
“None have arrived yet?”
"Do you want me to invite him in person?" Li Shimin was a little annoyed.
I have sent someone to invite him to court.
He has postponed his courtship for half an hour today.
Even if he climbs, Zhao Chen should climb outside the Tai Chi Hall.
"Father, Duke Zhao County is getting more and more powerful now. He even dares to disobey his father's will. In the future..." Li Tai stood up and spoke expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty, what Your Highness, the King of Wei, said very reasonably. Today, Zhao Chen dares not come to court, and he dares to do rebellious things in the future. This person should be severely punished."
"Your Majesty, I would like to punish Zhao Chen severely, otherwise where is the national law and how can the monarch remain?"
As soon as Li Tai spoke, there were naturally officials from his side who followed his words and continued.
As he said this, even Zhao Chen was about to rebel.
Li Chengqian sat on the chair and winked with Changsun Wuji opposite him.
Changsun Wuji nodded, took a step forward, bowed to the emperor, and was about to talk, he heard the shout outside:
Chapter completed!
