As officials under Li Chengqian in the past, these people had no news after Li Chengqian left Chang'an after something happened.
But they were filled with hatred.
They blamed Zhao Chen for all the blame, believing that if Zhao Chen had not appeared suddenly, Li Chengqian's position as crown prince would not have been deposed.
The officials who entrusted their lives to Li Chengqian will not lose everything overnight.
"The prince summoned us this time, 80% of it was related to Zhao Chen's affairs." An official whispered to others.
"I guess the same is true, otherwise the prince would have no need to invite us here."
"Is the rumors outside about Zhao Chen treason and colluding with enemies true or false?"
"No matter whether he is true or false, Zhao Chen ruins our future. If we take this opportunity to take revenge, it will be a blessing."
"Yes, Zhao Chen did everything evil and dared to treason and collude with the enemy. He must not let it go easily."
"It seems that I am late." The officials were still whispering about what was circulating outside, and Li Tai appeared in the night in casual clothes.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Hou Junji stood up and bowed to Li Tai.
The other officials looked hesitant and did not salute Li Tai.
In their hearts, they always felt that Li Chengqian was their prince.
Li Tai is just a thief who stole the position of the prince.
"You have been waiting for a long time, please sit down!" Li Tai glanced at the faces of everyone present.
Even if I was unhappy, I didn't get angry.
After coming here for a few days, in addition to letting everyone follow him to deal with Zhao Chen, Li Tai also wanted to take the people in front of him under his command.
As for the court, naturally, the more people you have, the more useful you speak.
"I'm inviting you here today. I have two ideas to talk to you." Everyone sat down, and Li Tai said with a smile.
All the officials came over.
They knew one of the things that must be Li Tai asked them to help deal with Zhao Chen together.
Of course there is no problem with this.
But they really don't know what another idea is.
"This first thought is naturally about Zhao Chen." Li Tai spoke.
"You are all old subordinates of the emperor. The emperor was framed by Zhao Chen and was forced to leave Chang'an and go to Luzhou. I felt very distressed."
"I believe you have heard of the news about Zhao Chen this time, and the treason and the enemy are connected."
"There are unforgivable sins."
"The eighth day of the dynasty meeting, and the father's meeting summoned all officials in the Tai Chi Hall to examine the case together."
"If you are interested, you can help me and take down Zhao Chen," Li Tai continued, his eyes still observing everyone's movements.
When many officials heard that they wanted to take Zhao Chen, they looked surprised on their faces.
But no one spoke.
Li Tai knew very well that these people were not very confident in themselves.
In other words, they can't get any benefits in this matter.
And if Zhao Chen is not dealt with, he will definitely be retaliated by Zhao Chen later.
These ghost officials won’t do such thankless things!
"This is the second idea. I want to invite you to join me, just like you were under the emperor's command."
"If a Japanese palace ascends the throne to the emperor in the future, you will be meritorious ministers."
"In this way, it's not much more cost-effective than being a small official with a reputation?" Li Tai directly threw out his second thought.
It is said that it is an idea, but in fact it is more about attracting these people.
He might not be able to speak before, after all, he and Li Chengqian had a lot of secret competition.
But now, Zhao Chen has become an excellent excuse.
Sure enough, when talking about this, many officials began to change their expressions.
Few officials can reject such conditions.
As an official, isn’t it just to get promoted and make a fortune and become famous?
Who is not the one who assists, as long as you can reach the top in the future, nothing matters.
"What the Crown Prince said is that Zhao Chen has a deep hatred with us. If the Crown Prince wants to deal with Zhao Chen this time, the subordinates will definitely drive the Crown Prince." Some officials spoke to express their feelings.
"Then Zhao Chen framed Prince Chengqian and made Prince Chengqian escape from a foreign land. Such a great revenge must be revenged."
"As a minister, you must share your worries for the Lord."
"If His Highness the Crown Prince is driven, it only takes one sentence, and all the officials are working hard."
With someone taking the lead, the rest of the officials naturally had nothing to worry about.
After all, Li Chengqian has passed. If they don’t choose Li Tai, are they still waiting for King Li Chengqian to return?
Li Tai was very satisfied with everyone's attitude.
He didn't expect what these people could do, as long as he agreed to him at the court meeting and dealt with Zhao Chen.
Li Tai wanted the emperor to see that dealing with Zhao Chen was the wish of all officials.
"In this way, I welcome you to join." Li Tai smiled and raised his glass in his hand.
...
Compared with the lively atmosphere in Hou Junji's mansion, there were only two or three people in Wei Zheng's mansion.
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong came to Wei Zheng's mansion overnight.
Wei Zheng was worried that he had no appetite to eat at night.
He is really anxious.
All the charges for colluding with the enemy and treason were released, but Zhao Chen was still not in a state of movement.
Wei Zheng thought about all the solutions and finally found that the current situation was completely unsolvable.
He couldn't help but wonder, did Zhao Chen know that he was helpless now, so he just gave up?
This man has been smart all his life, but in the end he will capsize in this gutter?
"Xuancheng, what's going on now? Is there any room for rescue for Zhao Chen's affairs?" Cheng Yaojin sat opposite Wei Zheng and asked in a deep voice.
They didn't have any news either.
The news that the emperor promised to publicly hear the case in Taiji Hall on the eighth day of the lunar month has been spread.
Wei Zheng shook his head and sighed heavily again.
The candlelight on the table was blown to the left and right by the sighs.
Qin Qiong's face changed slightly.
They all know Zhao Chen's true identity, and they also know that the emperor's heart is likely to choose Zhao Chen as his successor.
But now it was because of this incident that Zhao Chenma lost his way.
Qin Qiong felt a little unacceptable.
"This matter is obviously a frame-up, and there is no other way to solve it?" Qin Qiong was a little unwilling.
Zhao Chen saved his life.
He hopes that Zhao Chen is fine for both public and private.
"The crux of this matter lies in the fact that those guys are writing letters. Since the prince can let them write, will he still let them come out to overturn the case for Zhao Chen?" Wei Zheng shook his head.
He knew that Li Tai's temperament was much more ruthless than Li Chengqian.
Since you have to do it, you will do things perfectly.
"We can find a way to get someone out..."
"I can't take it out anymore, those guys committed suicide in the prison." Before Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he saw Dai Zhou coming from the darkness, his face full of resentment.
"I committed suicide in the prison?" Qin Qiong frowned.
He felt the strangeness of this matter at the first time.
What awesome, several guys died directly in the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison?
This is too nonsense!
