Listening to Zhao Chen saying these words, Li Ruoshuang shook her head secretly in her heart.
She was actually very clear. Zhao Chen said he wanted to ask the emperor if he had something to hide from him, obviously just to give the emperor a chance.
Or find a reason to help the emperor.
Although the secret the emperor said really surprised Zhao Chen.
But from Li Ruoshuang's heart, he still hopes that Zhao Chen can become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Who doesn’t want their husband to walk up any further?
What's more, with Zhao Chen's ability and prestige, it is not a foregone conclusion to be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
"Okay, it's getting late, so go and rest early." Li Ruoshuang and Zhao Chen advised.
Zhao Chen just nodded and said nothing.
The emperor returned to the palace and his face was filled with joy.
He felt that he had not had a waste of his trip today. After all, Zhao Chen really agreed to send the money to the palace and use it to reward Li Xiaogong tomorrow.
The emperor did this first to avoid the bad reputation of killing brothers and sisters on his back.
The other one is also trying to help Zhao Chen establish his prestige.
In this matter, the emperor needed all officials to see Zhao Chen's kindness.
"Why is Your Majesty so happy?" Empress Changsun couldn't help but ask when she saw the emperor's look full of joy.
"Hi, that guy Chen finally got enlightened. He promised to give me a batch of money to reward Li Xiaogong, and it would be fine if I stayed with him for a day today." The emperor explained to Empress Changsun with a smile.
Empress Changsun nodded with a smile. Of course, he knew that the emperor did this to appease Li Xiaogong and to stabilize the court.
After all, if Li Xiaogong is really dealt with, it will not cause turmoil in the court.
Li Xiaogong's prestige in the court, especially in the army, is second only to Li Jing.
If something happened to him, it would probably cause turmoil in many areas.
So it’s better to be stable in everything.
"How could Chen'er agree to this condition? According to his personality, he should firmly oppose it." Empress Changsun asked again.
She thought this was strange. With Zhao Chen's personality, how could he agree to this matter?
Especially Li Xiaogong is the murderer behind the scenes, he almost injured Zhao Chen's life.
Zhao Chen would not agree to the emperor's condition in terms of emotion or reason.
But it just happened...
"It's not because I told him a secret..." The emperor suddenly kept silent when he was halfway through.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty? What secret did you tell him?" Although the emperor did not finish his words, Empress Changsun could still hear it.
The emperor told Zhao Chen a secret?
What secret will make Zhao Chen agree to this condition?
"Nothing." The emperor shook his head.
In fact, the emperor originally wanted to tell the matter, but he suddenly realized that he had never told Empress Changsun about this.
If Empress Changsun knew that Zhao Chen was going to the front line again, wouldn’t she be worried again?
So the emperor could only shake his head and hide this matter for the time being.
Queen Changsun showed doubts.
She knew that the emperor was hiding something, and that this matter was related to Zhao Chen.
But the emperor didn't say it, and he couldn't continue to ask.
The next morning, the people from Wangyou Bookstore sent their money to the palace.
The emperor was very satisfied with Zhao Chen's speed.
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling immediately summoned him to discuss the reward of Li Xiaogong.
"Two, this is the money sent by the King of Han. I will draw an edict later. You two are going to read the decree." The emperor said to Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling in front of him.
"Your Majesty, how could His Highness the King of Han agree to this matter? According to his personality..." Fang Xuanling was a little surprised.
Although Wei Zheng didn't speak, he knew Zhao Chen even more.
With Zhao Chen's personality, he would never agree to such a thing.
But the emperor said that Zhao Chen had sent someone to send the money over, which would mean that Zhao Chen agreed?
This matter sounds strange.
"People can change. Besides, what do I want him to do? "The emperor smiled proudly and said to the two of them.
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling looked at each other.
They didn't believe what the emperor said, and Zhao Chen had to do whatever the emperor wanted Zhao Chen to do.
But the matter has been resolved, and they have no other concerns.
Anyway, I just need to announce the edict.
They don't care about the others.
"I will obey the order." The two bowed to the emperor.
...
Lee Hyo-gong stayed in his house all the time.
In the past two days, everyone in the mansion has been running away.
The entire Hejian County Prince's Mansion showed a depressing scene.
Li Xiaogong sat in his yard, but his expression was extremely calm.
There is not even a servant around me.
When Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling came, Li Xiaogong was drinking in the yard with pleasure.
"The Fang Xiang and Wei Xiang are here. What is Your Majesty going to do with me?" Li Xiaogong glanced at the two of them, and then slowly asked for the question.
Lee Hyo-gong didn't seem nervous at all.
It seems that I have thought of my own end, so I have prepared for it.
I took two cups and filled the cup with fine wine.
"Thank you two, come and have a drink!" Li Xiaogong and the two said with a smile.
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling did not move.
They just came to promulgate.
I don't want to have too much conversation with Lee Hyo-gong.
If the emperor hadn't been able to bear the matter that Li Xiaogong had committed, he would have been cut into pieces long ago.
"There is no need to drink. Today I am here to convey the will for Your Majesty." Wei Zheng spoke and flatly rejected Li Xiaogong's invitation.
Li Xiaogong smiled faintly and started drinking on his own.
Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling, and Fang Xuanling nodded to him.
"Your Majesty has an order. Prince Li Xiaogong of Hejian has made achievements for the Tang Dynasty. I and the people of the world are concerned about his contributions. However, Prince Li Xiaogong of Hejian is suffering from a secret illness. I cannot bear to continue to work so hard, so I ordered him to spend his life with the mansion and give him tens of thousands of gold." Wei Zheng and Li Xiaogong read out the emperor's decree.
Li Xiaogong's expression seemed to have changed slightly.
He seemed to have not expected that Wei Zheng would read the decree like this.
Li Xiaogong always thought that this time he must be blamed.
Unexpectedly, he was directly under house arrest.
It would be better to say that he would never take another step in Chang'an in his life in his life.
Not to mention returning to the court.
Li Xiaogong smiled bitterly, then bowed and said, "I will thank you for your kindness."
After taking the imperial edict, Li Xiaogong held the imperial edict tightly with both hands.
Then it slowly loosened.
He knew it was his best ending.
If the emperor wants to kill him, it would be enough to just use Ma Zhiyuan's confession.
Now that he has just given him resignation and recuperation and placed under house arrest in the mansion, he has already gained a huge advantage.
"King of Hejian, please do it yourself, not every time you have such good luck." Wei Zheng and Li Xiaogong said again.
This time there is not no evidence.
Many times, if you really want to kill someone, just a confession is enough.
What's more, not only did he not kill Li Xiaogong this time, but he ended up with a good ending.
Chapter completed!
