After resting all night, Zhao Chen woke up quietly.
My body still felt very tired.
Yesterday, the injection of acupuncture to treat Empress Changsun did exhaust Zhao Chen.
"Zhao Chen, you are awake." Li Ruoshuang sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about something.
Seeing Zhao Chen open his eyes, he immediately smiled.
"Miss Ruoshuang, why are you here?" Zhao Chen sat up, his head still a little dizzy.
"This is my room. I didn't have time to clean up the guest room yesterday. You were so sleepy that I let you rest here." Li Ruoshuang explained, his face slightly red.
Even if she doesn't care about it anymore, she feels a little shy when she lets a man sleep in her boudoir.
"This... is your boudoir?" Zhao Chen was stunned.
I looked around and saw several sets of women's clothes hanging beside me.
Although there were no other items, only bows and arrows were left, and spears and swords were on the side.
But it is definitely Li Ruoshuang's boudoir.
"Your mother..."
"It's okay, my mother was here yesterday and protected you for one night." Li Ruoshuang comforted.
Zhao Chen's mouth twitched.
Hongfu Nu is not protecting him, it is clearly just surveillance!
"Thank you." Zhao Chen looked at Li Ruoshuang and said seriously, then lifted the quilt, got up and put on his shoes. "I haven't returned overnight, Uncle Fu must be worried. I'm going back now."
"I asked Doctor Wei to talk about it yesterday. It's okay. Now the prince and the King of Wei are looking for you. You can stay for a few more days." Li Ruoshuang and Zhao Chen said.
This morning, the servants said that there were people watching from afar in the Duke of Wei’s Mansion.
Although they dared not get close, the people did not leave.
It was clearly waiting for Zhao Chen to appear from the mansion.
"Zhao Chen, why didn't you appear outside the Lizheng Hall in your true face yesterday? The prince and the King of Wei show their kindness at the same time? This is something that has never happened before." Li Ruoshuang said curiously.
Things outside the Tachimasa Hall were already spread yesterday.
Many people think that it is not necessary to reject the good intentions of the prince and the King of Wei.
The two of them were extremely powerful in the Tang Dynasty.
If you can win the favor of these two people at the same time, you will definitely make a fortune in the future.
"It's not that easy. No matter who I choose between the prince and the King of Wei, the other person will definitely hate me to the core."
"Why do I need to participate in the battle against imperial power?"
"It's enough to manage my tavern well. I really have no interest in the rest." Zhao Chen explained casually, but had already walked out the door.
When he opened the door, he saw Hong Funu staring at him with his eyes tightly.
Zhao Chen was also frightened and his face changed and he took two steps back.
"Madam Li." After regaining his mind, Zhao Chen hugged Hongfu Girl awkwardly.
"Mother, why are you here?" Li Ruoshuang hurried forward and stood in front of Zhao Chen.
"Why, I can't come here?"
"This is not what my daughter means." Li Ruoshuang quickly explained, afraid that Hong Fu Nu would start arguing with Zhao Chen again.
Then she doesn't know who to help.
"The breakfast is ready. You two, go for breakfast with me." Hongfu Nu glanced at Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang, left a sentence, turned around and left.
"Mrs. Li is this..."
"I don't know, let's go. You didn't eat anything yesterday. I think you're hungry long ago, so go to have dinner first." Li Ruoshuang shook her head and pulled Zhao Chen's arm to the front hall.
...
"I'll pay my respects to Your Majesty."
In the Tai Chi Hall, the ministers shouted that Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon couch, his expression eased a lot compared to yesterday.
"The family of all the people is peaceful." Li Shimin nodded and said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone shouted again, but their expressions relaxed a little.
They did not feel strong anger from the emperor's tone just now.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Wannian County Magistrate has been executed, and the Chang'an Prefecture has also been dismissed from office and investigated. The auspicious land has been surrounded by the imperial army in the Northern Yamen, and even a fly is difficult to enter." Fang Xuanling walked forward
One step, report to Li Shimin.
Wannian County sent 20,000 Northern Ya Imperial Guards to guard there, and everyone around was controlled.
It's absolutely foolproof.
"The villagers around should not make things difficult for them. No one in the Northern Imperial Army shall oppress the people. If news comes out, I will never let you go." Li Shimin said.
It is already a great achievement for the villagers in the village to plant 3,000 kilograms per acre of rice.
If they were invaded by soldiers again, it would be unreasonable.
"I obey the order." Fang Xuanling responded.
"Your Majesty, recently a secret spy came to report to Chang'an City, saying that there are many aliens in the western city, and they seem to be planning something and have been inquiring about news in Chang'an City." Yuchi Gong stood up again and told Li Shimin.
"There are many secret spies from other races in Chang'an City. Eighty-mostly, they heard about auspicious things and thought about stealing the auspicious things from the Tang Dynasty. They will never tolerate this matter and investigate it strictly." Li Shimin ordered.
"Yes." Yuchi Gong retreated.
"Your Majesty, half a month later, the imperial examination will be held. The chief examiner and the deputy examiner have made some decisions. After discussing with the ministers, I have prepared some lists and asked Your Majesty to choose." Changsun Wuji took out a memorial and handed it to the side.
Eunuch.
The eunuch immediately presented the list.
However, Li Shimin did not read it immediately, but said slowly: "The imperial examination matter is related to the country. I will consider the candidates for the main and deputy examiners."
"There is also the change in the imperial examinations that was implemented two months ago, but the results are not obvious. After the New Year, I will go out to Beijing to inspect the matter."
"I will never tolerate any state or county if I ignore the holy will."
After hearing the emperor's words, everyone's hearts sank.
But he also understood that the emperor wanted to use tough measures to promote the imperial examination reform.
The emperor personally visited, and this matter was very big.
If any prefecture and county are found to be unacceptable to the holy order, it is probably because there is no good fruit.
The faces of the prince, the King of Wei, and some officials all darkened.
The emperor did this clearly, and he was attacking the five surnames and Qi Wang.
And behind them, there are several companies standing there.
If the imperial examination reform is really forced to be implemented, then...
"The queen has just recovered from illness for a long time. I am deeply grateful to God for giving an order to pardon the world." Li Shimin said again.
"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers shouted.
The emperor wanted to pardon the world, so naturally he would not hold them accountable for the crime of not following the holy orders in Wannian County.
How dare everyone say no?
"Today's court meeting will come to this. Doctor Wei and I come to establish the Zheng Palace. I have something to ask you." Li Shimin and Wei Zheng said.
"I obey the order." Wei Zheng replied.
...
"How is it, are you feeling better?"
In the front hall of the Duke of Wei’s Mansion, Hong Fu Nu looked at Zhao Chen and asked in a plain tone.
"Thank you, Mrs. Li, for your concern, it's much better." Zhao Chen bowed and thanked.
This time I was sincere.
"What are you going to do afterwards?" Hongfu Nu asked again.
"Mother..." Li Ruoshuang felt anxious.
"I will leave later and I will never cause trouble for Mrs. Li." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"You are not afraid that the prince and the King of Wei will block you, Du He and Chai Lingwuke are both wandering outside." Hong Funu said in surprise.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai clearly refused to give up.
Otherwise, Du He and Chai Lingwu would not have been sent here.
"Then I can't stay here all the time. There are people like Uncle Fu and Du He at home, so I can't be careless." Zhao Chen said.
Chapter completed!
