After being silent for half an hour, Zhao Chen stood up and was about to leave, but Chang Sun Wuji grabbed his arm.
"Zhao Chen, what you said is serious. If you are here, my eldest grandson's family will be here." Changsun Wuji looked into Zhao Chen's eyes and asked.
Changsun Wuji knew that he was envied by others when he was with the emperor.
If you hold a high and powerful position for too long, you will offend many people without even realizing it.
Now that Empress Changsun is still here and the Emperor still misses his old love, those people dare not do anything to him.
But if one day...
Changsun Wuji has always hoped to return to the court, hoping to regain his foothold in the court.
In this way, even if something happens in the future, his eldest grandson's family will not be separated overnight.
Among the emperor's princes, no one can compare with Zhao Chen in terms of ability.
But Changsun Wuji was worried that Zhao Chen and the emperor...
But what is risk-free?
If his eldest son, Sun Wuji, wants to get benefits, he has to bear corresponding risks!
"Of course." Zhao Chen nodded.
"Okay, then I promise you!"
"After today, the Changsun family will advance and retreat together with His Highness the King of Han until death!" Changsun Wuji said, extending his palms to Zhao Chen.
"Till death do we rest!" Zhao Chen stretched out his palm and held it with Changsun Wuji.
…
Gao Shilian feels more and more older recently.
Ever since he became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Gao Shilian's head has become more and more dizzy day by day.
He began to miss his previous days of teaching in the Imperial College.
Today he was sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel again, looking at the official documents in front of him in a daze.
"Old Gao." Zhao Chen met Gao Shilian under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Gao Shilian raised his head and saw that the person coming was Zhao Chen, and his face immediately showed joy.
There were so many princes in the royal family, but only Zhao Chen in front of him was the happiest.
Although Li Tai also has a reputation for talent, in front of Zhao Chen, he is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
"Boy Chen, why are you free today?" Gao Shilian pulled Zhao Chen to sit down and asked with a smile.
He really loves this younger generation Zhao Chen.
"I haven't seen Mr. Gao for a long time, so I came over for a visit today!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"You lied to me." Gao Shilian stretched out his finger and tapped Zhao Chen's head.
"The old man has heard about everything outside."
"To be honest, Your Majesty went too far in this matter, but..." Gao Shilian shook his head again.
The emperor naturally has the emperor's considerations. He, a minister, questions the emperor's decision?
"That matter has passed." Zhao Chen waved his hand and said: "I heard from people that Mr. Gao was very unhappy in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so I wanted to invite Mr. Gao to a good place."
Gao Shilian didn't believe Zhao Chen's statement that the matter was over.
Although he didn't have much contact with Zhao Chen, Gao Shilian knew something about his character.
However, Zhao Chen himself didn't want to talk about it anymore, and Gao Shilian couldn't keep asking.
Hearing Zhao Chen say that he wanted to arrange a good place for himself, he also became interested.
"Where?" Gao Shilian asked.
"Chang'an Military Academy."
"Chang'an Military Academy?" Gao Shilian was a little confused.
He remembered that Chang'an Military Academy was a place dedicated to training soldiers. He was a scholar, so what was he going to do?
"Chang'an Military Academy enrolled 300 students this year, but 30% have never attended school."
"And the gentlemen in the college are all generals. It's too difficult for them to teach students knowledge."
"So, Zhao Chen wants to ask Mr. Gao to help." Zhao Chen and Gao Shilian explained.
On the one hand, Gao Shilian was asked to go to Chang'an Military Academy because he wanted him to help teach students knowledge.
On the other hand, it was also hoped that Gao Shilian could give up the position of Minister of Civil Affairs.
"Then the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs..." Gao Shilian looked at Zhao Chen with a smile, as if he had seen through Zhao Chen's true thoughts.
Zhao Chen didn't hide anything and said directly: "You can let Zhao Guogong take the position."
"Wuji, why did you two uncles and nephews get together?" Gao Shilian said with a smile.
If Zhao Chen concealed this matter, he would directly reject Zhao Chen.
But Zhao Chen did not hide it from him, but told him his purpose, and Gao Shilian would not blame him.
"That's okay. Anyway, I feel uncomfortable here. I've long wanted to go back to the Imperial College."
"Tomorrow, I will resign from your position at the court meeting. Then you can think of a way to get your Majesty to agree to let Wuji be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"But boy Chen, I still want to remind you, don't do something irreversible because of some unexpected appointment."
"The people of the Tang Dynasty are all innocent!" Gao Shilian and Zhao Chen warned.
…
After returning from the official department, Li Ruoshuang had already brought Xiao Ping'an back home.
When I saw Zhao Chen, I didn't ask where Zhao Chen had been.
"Ruoshuang, you don't have to worry, I asked Lao Huang to protect Wu Jue."
"Within two years, I will take you to bring Wu Jue back!" Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang said softly.
Li Ruoshuang just nodded.
Two years later, she didn't know how Zhao Chen would go to Gaochang to bring Wu Jue back.
Gaochang is a country outside of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not something Zhao Chen can do whatever he wants.
After wiping away her tears, Li Ruoshuang took Xiao Ping'an into the room, leaving only Zhao Chen sitting in the yard.
Cheng Chumo came and brought two jars of wine.
"Zhao Da, drink." Cheng Chumo placed a jar of wine in front of Zhao Chen, unsealed the other jar and poured it into his mouth.
"Why do you look angrier than me?" Zhao Chen said with a smile, unplugging the bottle of wine, and the strong smell of alcohol hit his forehead.
"Why am I not angry? Why do you do this?"
"What did that little girl Wu Jue do wrong?"
"Why don't they punish that guy Li Zhi?"
"You can't control your own son, so you just leave the responsibility to a little girl?" Cheng Chu said in a low voice, his face full of anger.
Zhao Chen didn't answer.
The emperor is a saint, how could he admit that he was wrong?
Just like many women, they think their only mistake is marrying the wrong man.
"Zhao Da, are you going to Chang'an Military Academy next?"
"I don't want to go anyway."
"So what if we train them out? The saint will remember us, okay?"
"How many things have you done for him, and now you haven't..." Cheng Chumo put down the wine jar and shook his head again.
Cheng Chu silently felt that the emperor had no kindness at all.
Zhao Chen made many contributions to the emperor and the Tang Dynasty.
How many times has it not been because of Zhao Chen, the emperor, that the Tang Dynasty has been able to turn a corner?
If it weren't for Zhao Chen, the emperor would have died of poison as early as in Cangzhou.
Now, the emperor is targeting Zhao Chen in this way.
Cheng Chumo felt very unworthy of Zhao Chen!
"I understand how you feel, Cheng Er. In the future, please don't say these words outside."
"Some things just need to be clear to us."
"We still have to run Chang'an Military Academy well."
"The students are innocent, and so are the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"If the students in the college succeed in their studies, we won't have to travel back and forth in the future."
"As for Wu Jue's matter, I will find a way." Zhao Chen persuaded Cheng Chumo and said slowly.
