Chapter 190 Do you have an explanation for this matter?
Although Fang Xuanling said that she wanted to embarrass Zhao Chen.
But at this moment, I heard Zhao Chen say that the way to destroy the six kingdoms was to bribe Qin.
This actually made him extremely interested.
This is a statement I have never heard before.
Then he thought about asking Zhao Chen to explain a few words for him.
Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon couch, looking at Zhao Chen.
Even the emperor himself could not have imagined that Zhao Chen would give such an answer.
Li Shimin was very curious how Zhao Chen would explain.
"The disadvantage is that bribing Qin is a tricky angle. Only when Qin is strong can it completely defeat the six kingdoms."
"How does Zhao Chen explain what he just said?"
"Although there is nothing wrong with bribing Qin, if he doesn't explain it well enough, he will still lose."
"Zhao Chen is good enough for being able to say that the disadvantage lies in bribing Qin, but he is too young after all. How can he read so many history books?"
"I think Zhao Chen won't be able to answer it later."
"Pity."
Before Zhao Chen could speak, the courtiers began to discuss with the ministers around them.
Although he felt that Zhao Chen had some abilities, in his words, he did not believe that Zhao Chen could get out of trouble.
Li Chengqian stood aside, a trace of amusement flashing across his face.
Even if Zhao Chen is not a complete waste, he may not be Fang Xuanling's opponent.
Today, Zhao Chen's face is definitely humiliated.
"In addition to conquering Qin, the small ones captured towns and the large ones captured cities. Compared with Qin's gains, those gained from victory were actually a hundred times as much as those from victory; the deaths of princes were actually a hundred times as much as those from defeat."
"Then Qin's great desire and the princes' great trouble are not in war..."
"Well said!" Fang Xuanling said loudly.
"The great troubles of the Six Kingdoms are not with Qin but with ourselves. The country and the country that our ancestors overcame through thorns and thorns are regarded as nothing by the descendants."
"As soon as the Qin people came, they cut off the land and abandoned the city in exchange for peace. Little did they know that the violent Qin was raging, and how could a few small cities be enough?"
"The death of princes is actually a hundred times greater than the death of those who are defeated in battle. This sentence is very good."
"Zhao Chen, if you really summed this up, then it's really..." Fang Xuanling looked at Zhao Chen, eyes flashing.
Fang Xuanling never thought that Zhao Chen would have such an opinion.
If he hadn't listened to Zhao Chen's words, he would never have thought of this.
Among the six great kingdoms, none of them were stronger than Qin before, but in the end...
"Zhao Chen is just talking nonsense, Prime Minister..."
"No, if you are talking nonsense, wouldn't you be embarrassing us?" Fang Xuanling quickly interrupted Zhao Chen.
"Zhao Chen is really capable. I didn't expect that such an obscure question would not be able to stump him."
"I think the prime minister was also amazed by Zhao Chen's answer just now. Zhao Chen is really a genius."
"Hehe, I'm looking forward to the follow-up of this storybook more and more."
"What the Prime Minister said just now, doesn't it mean that Zhao Chen won this match?"
"It shouldn't be that simple."
While everyone was discussing, they saw Prince Li Chengqian coming out.
"Father, I have some doubts about the reasons for the destruction of the Six Kingdoms mentioned by Zhao Chen. I wonder if I can ask Zhao Chen for advice." Li Chengqian walked to the center of the hall and cupped hands with Li Shimin.
"Is there any conflict between His Highness the Crown Prince and Zhao Chen, or are you just curious?"
"Who knows, but the prince has always been kind and kind, so he must be just curious."
"That's right. The prince's reputation as a virtuous man is known to everyone in the world. He will definitely not embarrass Zhao Chen."
Although everyone was a little surprised when they saw Li Chengqian coming out, it was only because he was curious at the time.
"Li Chengqian must have come out to embarrass Zhao Chen. Sister-in-law, what should we do?" Cheng Chumo stood beside Li Ruoshuang and asked in a low voice.
At this moment, the three of them were standing at the end of the queue. When they saw Li Chengqian coming out to embarrass Zhao Chen, the three of them couldn't help but look embarrassed.
"Li Chengqian is generous on the surface, but in fact he is stingy in his heart. He dares to embarrass Zhao Chen today. I will let him know what regret means later." Li Ruoshuang said in a cold voice with a face as cold as frost.
"You two..." Li Ruoshuang, Cheng Chumo, and Qin Huaiyu said.
After a while, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu nodded and quietly left from the side of the hall.
At this moment, everyone is concerned about how Zhao Chen will deal with the problem of Prince Li Chengqian, and they are not concerned about whether anyone leaves.
The emperor saw the two people leaving, but said nothing.
"Since the prince has doubts, just tell him. Zhao Chen will definitely be able to answer your doubts today." Li Shimin nodded calmly.
Queen Changsun who was listening on the side was worried.
The emperor's words clearly meant that he wanted to help them continue to embarrass Zhao Chen.
"Thank you, Father." Li Chengqian was happy, turned to look at Zhao Chen, and asked: "Zhao Chen, I have a question, are you willing to help me answer my question?"
Zhao Chen did not expect that these people would be so shameless and even want to take turns to fight.
And this damn old Li Tou actually agreed to it.
Zhao Chen felt a little unhappy.
"The only people who are arguing with me today are the prime minister and the eldest grandson Pushe. If the prince wants to ask, that's not impossible."
"Well, if I get the answer, I also want to ask the prince a question, how about it?" Zhao Chen said with a smile, looking at the emperor behind him.
When Li Chengqian heard that Zhao Chen was going to ask him a question, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
Judging from Zhao Chen's calmness when he answered Fang Xuanling just now, he didn't know whether he should agree or not.
If he agreed and Zhao Chen couldn't answer the questions he raised, then he would be embarrassed today.
But if he doesn't agree, how will he step down now?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has excelled in his studies recently. I hope he will not let down the hard work of Wei Chen." Wei Zheng, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
With one sentence, Li Chengqian had no way out.
Li Chengqian looked slightly annoyed, but he couldn't refuse at this moment, so he said: "Then it's up to you, Zhao Chen. If your answer satisfies me, you can also ask me a question."
Wei Zheng didn't actually want to help Zhao Chen, but he felt that Zhao Chen had said so. If the prince did not agree, what would the emperor think and what would the officials think.
Although Wei Zheng's heart is towards Zhao Chen, the prince is still the prince after all, the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
His hesitation just now had already disappointed many people.
If he refuses, Li Chengqian's position as prince will really...
"Okay, let me ask His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhao Chen had a smile on his face and seemed not worried about Li Chengqian's question.
The confident smile on his face made Li Chengqian very unhappy.
However, no matter how annoyed Li Chengqian was at this moment, he still had a smile on his face.
"Zhao Chen, you just said that the six kingdoms were destroyed because of bribing Qin. But as far as I know, there is one country that has never done this. Do you know which country it is?" Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Chen,
smiled.
"Qi Jiang, a descendant of the Grand Duke, the State of Qi has never bribed Qin. Is this what His Highness is asking?" Zhao Chen said.
"Of course not. As you said, Zhao Chen, the six kingdoms were destroyed because they bribed Qin. But Qi never bribed Qin, so why was it also attacked and destroyed?"
"The destruction of Qi was not caused by bribing Qin. Therefore, the way you just mentioned about the destruction of the six kingdoms is unreasonable."
"Do you have an explanation for this?" Li Chengqian said slowly, with a trace of pride flashing across his face.??
