Zhao Chen knew that Li Jing was doing it for his own good.
Thinking that if his subordinates had enough power to make Li Tai fearful, Huang Zhi and the others would not suffer such disasters.
Looking at the stars and moon in the sky, Zhao Chen still has not made a final decision.
…
A message from the emperor was posted at the gate of Chang'an City.
The news of summoning Zhe Chongfu from all over the country to come to Beijing to prepare for border support also spread to all parts of the Tang Dynasty.
The people of the Tang Dynasty had long been filled with resentment as the country of the Tang Dynasty fell under the iron heel of Goguryeo.
As soon as the proclamation came out, the people of Tang Dynasty applauded one after another.
Many Chang'an people personally sent their sons to the army.
Three days later, the emperor was sitting in the Li Zheng Hall. At this moment, he had something to say to Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun also noticed something strange about the emperor in the past few days.
For the past three days, the emperor had been cleaning his sword, which he had not used for a long time.
Studying the map of the border between Datang and Goguryeo lasted until late at night.
Empress Changsun knew very well what the emperor was going to do.
From the bottom of her heart, she absolutely did not want the emperor to go to the battlefield again at his age.
But how could she control the emperor's decision?
"Guanyin, I have decided that after soldiers from all over the Zhechong Prefecture gather, I will lead the expedition myself." The emperor looked at Empress Changsun and said slowly.
Empress Changsun sighed secretly in her heart, but she forced a smile on her face and nodded: "Since Your Majesty has made a decision, I will not persuade you. It's just that it is bitterly cold on the front line, so Your Majesty should take care of yourself."
The emperor smiled.
After all these years, Empress Changsun can still fully understand him.
"I plan to reveal Zhao Chen's identity and the officials after Goguryeo is pacified this time."
"I am really tired of living as an emperor these years."
"When Zhao Chen's identity is revealed, I will let him supervise the country's governance. While I can still move, I will go outside more often." The emperor suddenly sighed and said to Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun didn't react.
After all, the emperor said the same thing a long time ago.
But because of the form at that time, it has not been able to be exposed until now.
"Your Majesty will make the decision on this matter."
"Now that so much time has passed, Zhao Chen's identity should be revealed earlier."
"Lest these two brothers..." At this point, Empress Changsun couldn't help but shake her head.
Thinking about the conflict between Zhao Chen and Li Tai, it even involved Du He's life.
Queen Changsun felt unbearable in her heart.
They are all children who have grown up under their watch, but their lives have been lost due to a momentary dispute of temper.
It's really not worth it.
"In this expedition to Goguryeo, I also want that guy Zhao Chen to achieve some military exploits, what do you think?"
"The civil servants in the court have already turned away Zhao Chen. If his identity is revealed in the future, he can avoid being denied by everyone."
"Now we can only let him lean towards the generals."
"This expedition to Goguryeo is an excellent opportunity for him." The emperor and Empress Changsun talked about their plans.
"Didn't Your Majesty just want Zhao Chen to make suggestions in the army? Why do you still need to make military exploits?" Empress Changsun showed a worried look on her face.
It is naturally very safe to make plans in this army.
But if you want to achieve military exploits, you have to go to the battlefield in person.
If something happens, she doesn't know what to do?
"My idea is..."
"Your Majesty, Li Ruoshuang has just left his daughter. You are asking Zhao Chen to go out with the army at this time. You already don't care about human kindness."
"If something really happened to Zhao Chen on the battlefield..."
"Rather than revealing his identity, I hope he can live out his life safely!" Empress Changsun's tone was suddenly sharp, startling the emperor.
The emperor shook his head. He didn't know what to do at this moment.
Zhao Chen's identity, this time, he will find a way to reveal.
As for other things, we always have to look at the situation first before talking about it.
…
On the morning of the next day, Zhao Chen held the baby and went to the Lizheng Hall with Li Ruoshuang.
After several days of rest, Li Ruoshuang was able to walk on the ground.
The Queen had been waiting for Li Ruoshuang to give birth to her child when she came to the Zhao Mansion before, so she had to go and see her now.
Furthermore, Zhao Chen knew that he was going to the front line soon, and he didn't know when he would see Empress Changsun next time.
I just took this opportunity to say goodbye to her today.
The three of them came to the Li Zheng Hall. When Empress Changsun heard that Zhao Chen was holding the baby, she was all smiles.
As soon as he saw the little baby, he couldn't care less about Zhao Chen.
He took the little baby away and refused to let go.
Li Ruoshuang was invited in, leaving the emperor and Zhao Chen standing with big eyes staring at each other.
"What do you think of the name?" the emperor asked Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen shook his head.
"No, it's just a name. Why is it so difficult?"
"When you were composing poems, didn't you just pick them up at your fingertips?" The emperor looked at Zhao Chen strangely.
Thinking back to the time when I first met Zhao Chen, this guy was so literary.
Wonderful poems come to you at will.
Why do I become so hesitant when it comes to naming my daughter?
"What is a name? When you name your son, you can just say it casually?"
"Then why don't you let Li Tai call Li Ergou, Li Goudan." Zhao Chen said to the emperor.
When the emperor heard the names of Li Ergou and Li Goudan, his face immediately twitched.
Such an outrageous name must have been thought up by Zhao Chen.
"I'm talking to you about business, why are you kidding me?" The emperor glared at Zhao Chen and waved to the eunuch behind him.
The eunuch came over and handed over an imperial decree.
"This is my edict to name your girl. When you have thought of the name, you can add it yourself." The emperor and Zhao Chen explained, with a smile on their faces.
Zhao Chen unfolded the imperial edict and found that it was stamped with the emperor's seal.
It said that he would make his daughter the princess of Wannian.
"Princess? Aren't you out of your mind and you made a mistake?" Zhao Chen had a strange look on his face.
He couldn't help but be surprised.
In the court before the Tang Dynasty, the title of the princess included the emperor's daughter, the crown prince's daughter, the princess' daughter, the emperor's concubine's daughter, and the prince's daughter.
These people can all be named princesses.
But after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the princess became a specific title.
Only the daughter of the prince of the Tang Dynasty could be granted the title of princess.
After conferring the title of princess on his daughter, Zhao Chen's first reaction was that Old Li was dizzy.
If all the officials knew about this, would they overthrow the Zhao family?
"That's right, it's the princess." The emperor looked at Zhao Chen with a smile.
Zhao Chen looked at the emperor.
His intuition told him that Old Li Tou was trying to take advantage of him every day.
Otherwise, how could he make his daughter a princess?
Don’t you just want to treat yourself as his son?
Zhao Chen slandered Lao Litou for a while with great contempt in his heart.
But for the sake of her daughter's title of princess, she swallowed her breath this time.
"The princess is the princess, but if the ministers cause trouble, you have to stand in my way."
"I don't want to quarrel with them." Zhao Chen confessed to the emperor and walked into the Li Zheng Hall with the imperial edict.
