Chapter 1484 Don't you just want to reinvigorate the volunteers?
The emperor never behaved politely in front of Zhao Chen.
That is to directly ask the restaurant manager to bring a table of good wine and food.
It had been a long time since he had eaten the food at Wangyou Restaurant, and the emperor missed it very much.
The shopkeeper of Wangyou Restaurant is very strange.
When Zhao Chen brought people here before, he had never encountered such a shameless guy.
This is exactly the look of a wealthy eater.
The shopkeeper was still thinking about how his boss could meet such a guy.
I must remind my boss later, and I can't let anyone fool me.
After good wine and good food were served on the table, the emperor started immediately.
In this cold weather, I stood outside Zhao Chen's house for a long time, and my body was already shivering from the cold.
Fortunately, after a glass of hot wine, the emperor's face was radiant.
"The food here is still good. The chefs from Shangshi Bureau really need to come here to learn." The emperor said to Zhao Chen happily.
Zhao Chen had no intention of taking the emperor's advice.
Previously, the emperor planned to ask the chef from Wangyou Restaurant to help out at Shangshi Bureau.
As a result, the cook was not happy.
It is said that working in the palace is uncomfortable. After all, there are more rules in the palace than outside.
Seeing that Zhao Chen ignored him, the emperor didn't feel embarrassed.
Didn't I bring a helper here today?
Now is the time to put it to use again!
"Li Ke, do you think what I said is right?" The emperor looked at Li Ke, who was eating silently.
Li Ke wished he was deaf now.
He just wanted to have a meal in peace, but now it seemed that he was overthinking it.
Putting down his chopsticks, Li Ke said with a smile: "Father is right, but this skill cannot be learned in a day or two."
"You still have to delve into it slowly."
The emperor glared at Li Ke. Did he want Li Ke to say this?
The emperor wanted Li Ke to follow his words and ask Zhao Chen to find a few cooks from Wangyou Restaurant to go to Shangshi Bureau to help him cook for the emperor.
Because when Zhao Chen opens his mouth, the cooks at Wangyou Restaurant will listen.
Who asked Li Ke to say this?
Are you still studying slowly?
The emperor wanted to drill a hole in Li Ke's head to see if it was filled with water!
"Do you have any business with me today?" Zhao Chen didn't want to play riddles with the emperor here.
It was New Year's Eve soon, and Zhao Chen didn't want to be called out by the emperor all the time.
He still had to spend time with Li Ruoshuang and Ping An at home. After all, he went to the border front this time and he didn't know when he would come back next time.
Seeing Zhao Chen taking the initiative to ask him, the emperor also put down his chopsticks.
After scanning Zhao Chen's face several times, he slowly said, "When I come out today, I still want to ask you about your plans to go to the border front."
"What are your plans after you go?"
The emperor actually felt uneasy about Zhao Chen.
Although it was agreed before that the Tang Dynasty would not take the initiative to attack Goguryeo, and Zhao Chen led the army, it was strictly forbidden to fight undeclared war.
But what kind of character Zhao Chen is, the emperor himself still doesn’t know?
If Zhao Chen could abide by such rules, he would not be Zhao Chen.
The emperor was now worried that as soon as Zhao Chen went to the border front, he would immediately start a war with Goguryeo.
At that time, he, the emperor, would not be able to explain to the officials.
Doesn’t the previous bet with Baiguan have no effect?
The emperor did not want to see such a thing happen.
So he thought that while Zhao Chen was still in Chang'an, he had to give him a few words of warning.
"Of course, when we get to the place, we can do it directly..."
"You want to mess with me, right?" Before Zhao Chen could finish speaking, the emperor stood up in a hurry.
Attack Goguryeo when you get there?
Didn't this boy Zhao Chen slap himself in the face of the emperor?
At the beginning, he promised the officials that he would never raise an unjust army.
In the end, Zhao Chen was lucky and started fighting right away when he arrived?
After the emperor said this, he saw Zhao Chen looking at him with a playful face.
The emperor frowned, not quite understanding what Zhao Chen meant.
"What do you mean, kid?" The emperor calmed down and asked Zhao Chen.
"A fight can be divided into a close-quarters fight and a strategic contest."
"Isn't it just that I want to raise the rebel army? Naturally, I have a way to get Yeon Gaesumun to take action first." Zhao Chen explained with a smile.
The emperor was confused, but he felt a little more relaxed.
As long as Zhao Chen goes to the front line and doesn't take the initiative to start a war, there won't be any big problem.
At least this time, they have to stand up morally.
"What are you going to do?"
"Yeon Gaesumun is not a fool, and he is not completely blind to your thoughts." The emperor asked again.
Since Yeon Gaesumun can control the entire Goguryeo, he certainly has his abilities.
Moreover, Hou Junji became Yuan Gaisuwen's dog-headed military advisor.
If they are not properly prepared, their plans may be ruined.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Zhao Chen said casually.
But it choked the emperor almost to death.
He also thought that Zhao Chen could tell him the plan so that he could have some confidence in his mind.
It turns out this guy.
He even told himself that he hadn't thought about it yet.
"Ahem——" Li Ke sat aside and couldn't hold it back when he heard Zhao Chen's words of prevaricating the emperor.
He could only cough to hide the smile on his face.
"What, what do you have to say?" The emperor looked at Li Ke. He had to reprimand Li Ke to cover up his embarrassment.
"No, I just drank too fast and choked." Li Ke quickly made up a reason to lie to the emperor.
"If you can't drink, just squat aside and watch." The emperor scolded, successfully covering up his embarrassment.
Li Ke didn't dare to raise his head and ate the food in his bowl.
"If I didn't expect it, just think about it carefully. When you think of it, explain it to me in advance."
"If you kid puts me in a dilemma, let's see how I will deal with you later." After scolding Li Ke, the emperor turned around and said to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen was not Li Ke. He would only nod in agreement after being spoken to by the emperor.
"Oh." Zhao Cen replied perfunctorily to the emperor.
But it made the emperor's fists clenched.
"Forget it, if you kid could listen to me, I wouldn't worry so much."
"When are you going to set off?" the emperor and Zhao Chen asked.
"Probably February. This year there is heavy snow and road closures, so we can't leave until spring." Zhao Chen gave an approximate time.
Zhao Chen also wanted to go to the border frontline as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, the wind and snow were so heavy this year that most of the roads leading to the north were blocked by heavy snow.
Furthermore, a few days ago, Zhao Chen received a letter asking for help from Wu Xu from Gaochang State.
The sudden threat from Tubo Songtsen Gampo to Gaochang State made Wu Xu feel a serious crisis.
That's why I wrote to Zhao Chen asking for help.
But to ask for help and send people to support, the emperor still needs the nod.
"Old Li Tou, I have something to trouble you with," Zhao Chen said to Zhao Chen.
"You have something to trouble me?" The emperor was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhao Chen's words.
If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Zhao Chen said such words to him!
Trouble yourself!
So as an emperor, why don't you put on a good show?
"Oh, I suddenly felt that this dish was not enough." The emperor looked at Zhao Chen and said with a smile.
