"Empress, now the Crown Prince said that without His Majesty's will, these cold-proof materials shall not be sent to the front line."
"Are we just sitting in Chang'an City and watching His Majesty and tens of thousands of soldiers freeze to death on the front line?"
After talking to the court for a whole afternoon, Li Tai made the excuse that the emperor did not have orders and did not dare to make decisions at will, but he did not agree to transport supplies to the front line.
Empress Changsun had no choice.
Although she is the queen, she can't interfere in the affairs of the court.
Otherwise, you will have to be scolded by the censor.
At this moment, Wei Zheng chased him to Lizheng Hall and asked Empress Changsun again.
Empress Changsun was also in great difficulty.
Of course she was worried about the safety of the emperor and the soldiers on the front line, but the matter is now under the jurisdiction of Prince Li Tai.
What can she do?
My queen told Li Tai not to care about this matter?
"Mr. Wei, this palace and Qingque had just talked about this, and Qingque insisted on his own ideas."
"He said he was worried that he would not send these supplies easily without His Majesty's will."
"If someone intercepted the enemy in the middle, the front-line army would definitely be dispersed." Empress Changsun said softly.
At this moment, she also blamed Li Tai a little, and thought that he, the prince, had no responsibility at all.
As the prince, he always adheres to the idea that he will not make mistakes without doing anything. How can he have the opportunity to grow?
If the emperor knew about this, I would be so angry.
"Empress!" Wei Zheng's voice suddenly increased.
"I don't want to say bad things about the prince in front of the queen, but what the prince does today is really a rebellious."
"Knowing that winter is coming to the front line, Your Majesty and tens of thousands of soldiers are all wearing summer clothes."
"As the prince, he did not want to solve the problem immediately, but instead shirked responsibility. The queen, the empress, had to wonder if the prince wanted to do something wrong to His Majesty..."
"Wei Zheng, don't talk nonsense!" Empress Changsun stood up with an extremely ugly expression on her face.
The attendants in Lizheng Hall were all shocked.
They followed Empress Changsun for many years and never saw her like this now.
Everyone lowered their heads and even became cautious in their breathing.
Wei Zheng was scolded by Empress Changsun, although he knew that he should not say these words to Empress Changsun.
But thinking about the safety of the frontline soldiers, Wei Zheng did not lower his head, but instead looked directly at Empress Changsun.
"The Empress feels that what I am saying is wrong, so she asks the Empress to tell His Highness to ask His Highness to send people to the front line for the cold protection materials."
"In the future, your Majesty or the Empress, I will definitely not complain about how to deal with me." Wei Zheng and Empress Changsun bowed and left the Lizheng Hall after saying that.
Empress Changsun sat in the upper head, looked at Wei Zheng's back as he left, and said nothing for a long time.
...
"Your Highness, the time is almost over. When Your Majesty finds that there is no movement in Chang'an, he will definitely send Zhao Chen back to check it out."
"It's time to pack up the materials, as for Zhao Chen..."
In the East Palace, Kong Yingda and Li Tai whispered.
At today's court meeting, although there was no problem with the excuses Li Tai made, as the prince, being so ungrateful was not a good thing for Li Tai himself.
If there is really no movement at all, it is easy to be questioned by all officials.
And they are targeting Zhao Chen this time.
The emperor and the frontline soldiers still dare not really ignore it.
"It's right. Someone came to report the news just now that Wei Zheng, the immortal man, ran to his mother's bedroom again. He probably wanted his mother to persuade me later."
"The old guy is really confused now. Can the harem interfere with my decision?" A sneer appeared on Li Tai's face.
He waved his hand to Kong Yingda and said, "I will go to the Lizheng Hall now. If you go to spread news to the palace and all officials, I will say that I have thought about it and feel that it is not easy for the frontline soldiers."
"Even if you disobey your father's order, you must send this cold-proof thing to the front line."
"Okay." Kong Yingda nodded, showing a happy expression on his face.
Kong Yingda found that after several setbacks, Li Tai became too meticulous.
First, he said in public that he had reasons that he could not do anything, which made all the officials feel very disappointed.
Then he turned around and said that he would send the things that keep the cold to the front line regardless of himself.
This will undoubtedly make the officials who were disappointed just now feel happy.
My impression of Li Tai will also change.
As for Li Tai's statement that he was going to Lizheng Hall to meet Empress Changsun, Kong Yingda didn't need to think too much, and he could know that he was playing the role of a filial son.
The only shame is that Kong Yingda didn't know how Li Tai was going to deal with Zhao Chen who came back.
...
Queen Changsun was a little tired today, and the lack of cold-proof objects on the front line made her very worried.
In addition, the anger that Wei Zheng showed just now made Empress Changsun even more difficult.
Just as I was about to go to the back hall to pray for blessings, I heard the attendant say that Prince Li Tai is coming.
Li Tai's performance today made Empress Changsun very dissatisfied.
I didn't want to see him, but I thought that it was my own son after all, so I still asked someone to bring Li Tai in.
"My son is paying homage to my mother." Li Tai knelt on the ground and shouted to Queen Changsun.
This attitude made Empress Changsun feel a little surprised.
"What's wrong with Qingque? Kneel on the ground and get up quickly." Empress Changsun asked Li Tai to get up.
But he did not ask for help from Li Tai.
Li Tai knew in his heart that Empress Changsun was angry with herself.
"Mother, my son is guilty." Li Tai still knelt on the ground.
"At the court meeting today, the mother advised her son to send someone to send things to the front line to protect the cold, but her son refused because she did not have the will of the father."
"Make my mother sad, my son and I apologize." After Li Tai said that, he kowtowed to Empress Changsun again.
Queen Changsun's expression looked a little better.
"As the prince, you are correct to obey Your Majesty's orders. My mother has no intention of blaming you." Empress Changsun sighed.
"The mother and queen don't blame me, but I feel bad. My father and tens of thousands of soldiers confronted the enemy on the border, but the prince, the son, cannot help, and is really incompetent."
"After returning to the palace, my son thought for a long time. Now the border is about to begin winter, and my father and tens of thousands of soldiers only have winter clothes."
"No matter why the father has not sent an order so far, the son will let the team transporting the cold-proof items set off early tomorrow morning."
"If the father blames the blame in the future, the son is willing to bear it alone."
"My son is here today because I want to ask my mother to forgive me for being stubborn at the court meeting today." Li Tai said, and kowtowed to Empress Changsun again.
Li Tai apologized to himself like this, so how could Empress Changsun still sit still?
He walked down and helped Li Tai up, and said with a loving look on his face: "There is no need for Qingque to do this. Your mother knows that it is the mother who misunderstood you."
"If your father has any dissatisfaction, the mother will explain it to you in the future."
"Your father won't blame you."
"You're going back to rest earlier, you're quite tired these days."
Empress Changsun held Li Tai's hand, and her face was filled with relief.
"Then I will leave first, and my mother will rest earlier. My son will come to greet my mother again in two days." Li Tai and Empress Changsun said.
Empress Changsun nodded and looked at Li Tai walking out of Lizheng Hall with a smile on her face.
