Chapter 299 Joining the Army
Zhao Chen would never have thought that his words with the emperor in Ganquan Palace would cause him such a big trouble.
The next morning, Zhao Chen was still resting in the house.
I received an imperial edict from the palace.
The emperor asked him to go to the palace again, and to the Tai Chi Hall.
This is awesome, why can't I let myself take a rest?
But in this era, everyone dares to disobey the emperor's orders.
Otherwise, there would always be someone holding a knife around his neck and carrying him to go.
I reluctantly got on the carriage and rushed to Tai Chi Hall.
Zhao Chen always feels that he is as busy as the emperor these two days.
When you arrive outside the Tai Chi Hall, you have to wait for the emperor's summons.
It took me a long time to get the news of the emperor's summons.
After slowly walking into the Tai Chi Hall, I saw that there were actually quite a few court officials coming to court today. Even the military generals whom I had never seen before were all armored today.
The bright armor has inexplicably a bit solemn and murderous.
"Zhao Chen has seen Your Majesty." Zhao Chen bowed to Li Shimin weakly.
The prince and the King of Wei are not in the court today, and I think we should study at Chang'an Academy at this moment.
It's funny to say that as a teacher at the academy, Zhao Chen has passed two days and still doesn't even know where his teaching classroom is.
"Zhao Chen, I'm summoning you here today, I'm discussing something with you!" Although he said it was a discussion, Old Li had no intention of discussing in his tone.
It is obvious that the emperor is preparing to send a mission with Zhao Chen today.
Looking at the many military generals around him, Zhao Chen had an inexplicable premonition of something bad.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Chen is feeling unwell recently. In a few more days, it will be the day of the boy's wedding..."
"I need your help." Li Shimin's faint words completely left Zhao Chen speechless.
The emperor has said such words, what else can he say?
Reject in person?
Zhao Chen felt that his bones might not be able to withstand the punches of the generals next to him.
"I and all the ministers have decided to fight this battle with Tubo. The strategy you proposed to me yesterday is good. You are still young and need more experience. So I decided to let you follow Niu Jinda and go to Songzhou...
…” Li Shimin’s voice rang in the Tai Chi Hall.
It also surrounds Zhao Chen's head.
Zhao Chen didn't expect Lao Li to break his head if he wanted to do this.
I just came up with two random ideas, and Lao Li wanted to send him away?
Zhao Chen just wanted to live a happy and happy life in Chang'an City, but he didn't expect to throw the emperor to the front line.
"When you go to Songzhou, you only need to follow General Niu, without fighting, just take it as a training!" Li Shimin explained lightly when he saw Zhao Chen's gloomy expression.
It was a dazzling experience to follow the army, even if you just follow and do nothing.
Even if Li Chengqian wanted to get this opportunity, the emperor did not agree.
This will add a lot of capital to Zhao Chen's future inheritance of the position of crown prince.
Zhao Chen did not speak, so the emperor made the final decision.
Even if we get married, we will postpone the emperor's words.
...
The news that Zhao Chen was going to go to war with the army soon spread across the ears of the crowd.
Li Ruoshuang was still trying on a wedding dress in her boudoir, but suddenly she was stunned when she heard the news.
He didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he led the foal from the stable and ran towards Zhao Chen's new house.
Along the way, Li Ruoshuang, wearing a big red wedding dress, ran on her horse and after knocking over countless stalls, she finally arrived at Zhao Chen's house.
"Zhao Chen..."
"Why are you crying?" Zhao Chenzheng, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were talking. Seeing that there was movement behind him, he looked back and saw that Li Ruoshuang was wearing a wedding dress. Her makeup was not yet fully decorated, but her eyes were still in her eyes.
It's with tears in my arms.
"Zhao Chen, let's set off together tomorrow, let's leave first!" Qin Huaiyu stood up, said something to Zhao Chen, and then pulled Cheng Chumo out.
When the two walked away, Zhao Chen grabbed Li Ruoshuang's hand and asked him to sit down beside him.
"Look, why are you crying so hard? You're not pretty anymore." Zhao Chen wiped Li Ruoshuang's tears and said with a smile.
"I...I heard you are going to Songzhou." Li Ruoshuang didn't care what Zhao Chen said.
Now he was worried that Zhao Chen would go to Songzhou, what if something happened?
Zhao Chen's health was not good at all, so how could he withstand such a long time of hardship?
Moreover, it is winter now, no matter how summer it is, the body cannot bear it.
"Just go to Songzhou to see, Lao Cheng and Xiao Qin will follow me, so there is nothing wrong!" Zhao Chen comforted.
Although he wanted to kick Old Li's butt hard, at this time, he could only comfort Li Ruoshuang.
What Zhao Chen feared the most was that Li Ruoshuang said he would go to Songzhou with him.
Li Ruoshuang is capable and wants to go to the battlefield, but the battlefield is not suitable for women after all.
If Li Ruoshuang had nothing to do with him, then forget it.
But she is her wife who has not passed away, so how can she follow her onto the battlefield?
It’s better to be Chang'an City!
"Then I..."
"You stay in Chang'an. Uncle Fu is old and I'm not very relieved to be alone at home. When you are fine, come here to see him more often. The tavern will be closed before I come back." Zhao Chen
Shaking his head, he knew that Li Ruoshuang wanted to go with him.
"But……"
"I said, there will be no problem. I haven't had a bridal chamber with you yet, so I can't bear to die." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Li Ruoshuang's face suddenly turned red. He didn't expect Zhao Chen to say such shameful words, so he didn't know what to say at that time.
"Then I will move in tomorrow. If you are not here, there must be a master in this house!" Li Ruoshuang was silent for a long time before saying this.
She felt that if Zhao Chen came back, she would definitely be the first to come back here and she would be able to see Zhao Chen as soon as possible.
"If you want..." Zhao Chen nodded.
...
That night, Empress Changsun came to Zhao Chen's mansion.
Old Li, who was walking with him, was reluctant to enter the mansion for a long time, and seemed to be hesitating.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth and entered the mansion with Empress Changsun.
"Auntie, I regret it." As soon as he saw Empress Changsun, Zhao Chen immediately felt bitter on his face and cried to her.
Li Shimin frowned immediately, looking a little unhappy.
Just now, Empress Changsun complained a lot about Zhao Chen's visit to Songzhou because of her request.
Now that Zhao Chen is making such a fuss, he will definitely be in peace when he returns to the palace tonight.
"Zhao Chen, you must follow Niu Jinda closely outside. I will tell him to take good care of you!" Empress Changsun comforted.
The emperor has issued an order, who can change it?
Zhao Chen must follow the army this time.
"Yes, I have warned him that I will definitely not let you get into trouble. You are going to Songzhou just to get some experience. When you come back, I will promote you." Li Shimin said to Zhao Chen with confidence.
However, Zhao Chen didn't even look at him.
