Chapter 399 Wait for him to come back and beat him
"What?"
"You said Zhao Chen asked the students from the academy to destroy my Cui family's shop?"
Cui Mansion, Cui Yan is preparing to let his assassins take action.
Li Chengqian's non-participation in this matter does not mean that Cui Yan will let Zhao Chen go.
It just so happened that Zhao Chen was not in Chang'an at the moment, and there was only Li Ruoshuang by his side, so it was the best time to take action.
No matter how powerful Li Ruoshuang is, she can still deal with a few people.
Killing Zhao Chen will solve everything.
The only thing that worried Cui Yan was what Luo Tong told him before that Zhao Chen could mobilize the Xuanjia Army.
However, according to Cui Yan's opinion, this must be Luo Tong's own failure in doing things and he found such an excuse to deceive himself.
How could the Xuanjia Army, the most elite force around the emperor, be given to an outsider like Zhao Chen?
Therefore, Cui Yan was very confident about going to the village in Wannian County to attack and kill Zhao Chen.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Chen would have people attack his Cui family's shop in Chang'an City in advance.
"Master, Zhao Chen also asked Cheng Chumo and the others to post notices all over Chang'an City, directly saying that all the shops of our Cui family will be destroyed today." The servants and Cui Yanzhen reported, looking extremely surprised.
If such arrogant and domineering behavior is not stopped, the Bolingcui family's face will be completely lost in the future.
Post a notice to let the people in Chang'an City know about this.
It was tantamount to pressing Cui Yan's face to the ground and rubbing it in front of everyone.
At this moment, Cui Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and his face showed a destructive and ferocious look.
He grabbed the table next to him with both hands, leaving harsh nail marks on the table.
"Zhao Chen!"
"Zhao Chen!"
"Zhao Chen!"
Cui Yan called Zhao Chen's name three times in a row, each one becoming more hateful than the last.
"Order all the manpower that can be summoned to station in various shops. If they dare to smash it, don't be afraid, their legs will be broken." Cui Yan took a deep breath and looked coldly.
"But the head of the family, the people who came here are all the sons of nobles and officials. Broken legs..."
"I can't control that much. If I don't break their legs, the hundreds of years of foundation of our Bolingcui clan will disappear." Cui Yan scolded coldly.
The servant went out quickly.
Cui Yan clenched his fists and walked to the backyard.
…
"Your Highness, the news has just arrived that from the east and west cities, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu led students from the academy to smash several shops belonging to the Boling Cui family."
In the East Palace, Helan Chushi and Li Chengqian were talking about the news that had just been delivered.
At this moment, Li Chengqian was drinking with Chang Sun Chong, and Du He was also accompanying him.
Changsun Chong didn't want to come, but he couldn't resist Li Chengqian's repeated invitations.
"Why did they want to destroy the Cui family's shop?" Li Chengqian asked casually and took a sip of wine.
"I don't know, but they posted notices in the east and west cities saying they were avenging Zhao Chen, and from what Cheng Chumo and the others said, it seemed like Zhao Chen had ordered this matter."
"I wonder if Cui Yan did something to make Zhao Chen so angry?" Helan Chushi said.
"Probably not, Mr. Zhao... Zhao Chen has a bit of a vindictive character. If Cui Yan did something to deal with him, Zhao Chen would definitely not just smash his shop."
"It should be that Cui Yan was planning to do something to Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen discovered it, so he took such action."
"In other words, it is a reminder and a warning."
"But with the Bolingcui family's pride, I'm afraid..." Changsun Chong shook his head with a smile on his face.
On the day when the perfume was made in the academy, he saw with his own eyes how unwilling Zhao Chen was to suffer losses.
Whether it was Wei Zheng or the emperor, Zhao Chen suffered at all.
Revenge is not carried out overnight, it is avenged right then and there.
If Cui Yan really did something to deal with Zhao Chen, he probably didn't hit the Cui family's shop, but directly hit the Cui mansion.
After listening to Changsun Chong's words, Li Chengqian inexplicably remembered his previous cooperation with Cui Yan.
If Chang Sun Chong's speculation is correct, it means that Zhao Chen already knew that Cui Yan had summoned assassins and was preparing to attack him.
This smashing of the shop was a warning to Cui Yan.
Then would Zhao Chen know that he was also involved?
Is this warning actually aimed at yourself?
Li Chengqian suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
If the previous incident with Cui Yan against Zhao Chen is leaked, once it reaches the ears of the emperor and empress...
Li Chengqian didn't dare to think outside.
"Zhao Chen is still in Wannian County?" Li Chengqian asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, Doctor Wei came back today, only Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang stayed in Wannian County." Du He responded.
"His Royal Highness, should we go and help Cui Yan..."
"I have never had any contact with him, why should I help him? You all go and help Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and the others destroy the Cui family's shop for me." Li Chengqian scolded Du He and waved to several people.
His expression seemed to change suddenly.
"Yes!" Du He nodded quickly.
Changsun Chong looked at Li Chengqian strangely and left together.
Li Chengqian still felt uneasy.
Fortunately, he did not impulsively write any literal promise to Cui Yan.
Otherwise, Li Chengqian would be completely tied to Cui Yan's chariot.
Li Chengqian couldn't figure out when his plan with Cui Yan was exposed.
What Li Chengqian was sure of was that Zhao Chen must have known about this before the banquet at the Li Zheng Palace.
It was completely unnecessary to have someone reveal Cui Yan's plan to Cheng Chumo and the others.
Instead, Zhao Chen knew his intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers.
…
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent, please punish me."
In Ganquan Hall, Li Shimin looked at the notice in his hand. Kneeling in front of him was the governor of Jingzhao.
"Get up, you really have no way to deal with this matter." Li Shimin put down the notice in his hand and said something to the governor of Jingzhao.
The governor of Jingzhao obviously did not expect that today's emperor would be so easy to talk to.
If something like this happened in the past, it would be unreasonable for the governor of Jingzhao to be demoted.
today……
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jingzhao Governor stood up and said with his hands in hand.
"What do you think about this matter?" Li Shimin asked expressionlessly.
"This..." The governor of Jingzhao was a little embarrassed.
There was no one he dared to offend who participated in the smashing of the shop.
It is obviously impossible to arrest people.
If you let them smash it, then you, the governor of Jingzhao, will do your best.
Neither the left nor the right are pleased, and he is caught in the middle, which is an aggrievement.
"That kid Zhao Chen doesn't know which muscle he has cramped. He should act like this. When he comes back, I will give him a good beating." Li Shimin said lightly.
The governor of Jingzhao was shocked when he heard this.
In the city of Chang'an, people gathered to fight at the feet of the emperor, which could be said to make the whole city of Chang'an noisy.
His Majesty the Emperor actually just said that he wanted to beat him?
If it were someone else, he would probably have to take off his head and beat it!
Your Majesty has such great trust in this County Duke?
"Jingzhao Mansion sent people to the scene to avoid causing riots among the people. As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it. They can fight as much as they like. Just pretend they didn't see it."
"Ah?" Jingzhao Prefecture Yin didn't understand.
"Why, do you want me to repeat it to you?" Li Shimin frowned.
"I'll do it now!" Jingzhao Prefecture Yin said quickly and bowed to leave. Although he didn't understand in his heart, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"Little bastard, when you come back and see if I don't deal with you harshly, I'll let you do something random this time." In the hall, Li Shimin chuckled.
