Zhao Chen understood the meaning of the emperor's question.
He glanced at the emperor and sneered: "I came here today just to tell your majesty that Mr. Gao's body can no longer do hard work."
"As for who the new Minister of Civil Affairs is, it's none of my business!"
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, with everyone's stunned expressions, he left the Tai Chi Hall with his hands behind his back.
Especially the sentence about "it's none of my business" really shocked them.
Although Zhao Chen acted wildly in the past, he was still very polite when he spoke.
How come today, even I said it?
Could it be because of Wu Jue's incident, so...
The emperor's expression also changed again and again. The words Zhao Chen left behind were clearly a slap in the emperor's face.
It’s none of his business. Is this what a prince and the majestic King of Han should say?
The emperor was instantly filled with anger.
But it's not easy to let it out at this moment.
After all, the Gao Shilian in front of him was still the queen's uncle.
For the queen's sake, I shouldn't embarrass him.
"Since Gao Aiqing recommended Changsun Wuji, he will be recalled."
"Come here and deliver the message. From now on, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao, Sun Wuji, will serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"Quit the court!" After conveying the order, the emperor withdrew from the court.
How can he still be in the mood to sit here!
…
Zhao Chen left Tai Chi Hall and walked to his home.
When I walked to the door of Zhao Mansion, I saw the Queen's phoenix chariot parked at the door.
Without walking into his house, Zhao Chen turned around and went around in a circle to have breakfast at Wangyou Restaurant in Pingkangfang.
Zhao Chen didn't return home until mid-morning when it was almost noon.
At this time, the phoenix chariot had disappeared.
"Dad!" Ping An stumbled to play at the door. When he saw Zhao Chen coming back, he immediately ran over.
"Hey!" Zhao Chen responded and held Ping An in his arms.
"Dad, a lot of people came to the house just now. Grandma has been waiting at home for a long time. Where have you been?" Ping An looked at Zhao Chen and asked.
"I have something to do outside. I'll be late when I get back." Zhao Chen casually made up an excuse to deny peace.
Ping An is still young, so Zhao Chen can do whatever he says.
She doesn't even think about it.
She pulled Zhao Chen and asked him to play with her.
Li Ruoshuang heard Zhao Chen's voice and walked out of the hall.
"Cheng Er said you came back from the court meeting early."
"Have you seen the phoenix chariot outside?" Li Ruoshuang and Zhao Chen asked.
"Didn't see it."
"What are you going to eat for lunch?" Zhao Chen lied and changed the topic.
After being together with Zhao Chen for so long, Li Ruoshuang couldn't tell whether Zhao Chen was telling the truth or a lie.
But she didn't ask any more questions, took over the conversation and said, "If we don't have lunch at home, mom asked us to go to her place."
"You come with us."
"I won't go. There are other things at the college. I will go there in the afternoon. I don't know when I will come back next time."
"If you feel bored, just stay there for a while." Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang said.
Zhao Chen definitely cannot let go of Chang'an Military Academy.
That's where he put a lot of thought into.
But now that Wu Jue and Lao Huang are not at home, Li Ruoshuang and Ping An must be lonely at home.
It would be better to let them stay at Li Jing's place.
"Zhao Chen, you are outside, don't make us worry!" Li Ruoshuang couldn't help it, she knew that Zhao Chen would not stay in Chang'an.
I had no choice but to tell Zhao Chen to pay attention to his safety.
…
Li Zhengdian, Queen Changsun returned from Guoxiang Temple today.
Before returning to the palace, she went to the Zhao Mansion, but only saw Li Ruoshuang and Ping An.
Queen Changsun planned to wait for Zhao Chen to come back from the court in Zhao Mansion.
But it was almost noon, and Zhao Chen didn't see any trace.
Queen Changsun also understood that it must be Zhao Chen who saw her driver at the door when he came back.
That's why I didn't come back.
Zhao Chen avoided him, obviously because of Wu Jue's incident and he was resentful of himself.
Returning to the Li Zheng Hall, Queen Changsun felt a little worried.
Li Zhi has been staying at his Prince Jin's Mansion for the past two days, and I heard he didn't even leave the house.
Zhao Chen saw his car and avoided him.
Her eldest grandson, the Queen, just didn't want her two sons to turn against each other because of a woman in the future.
But now, they all blame her.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here!" The palace servant reminded the eldest grandson Queen in a low voice.
Queen Changsun came back to her senses, hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, and came out: "I come to pay homage to Your Majesty."
The emperor was in a bad mood at the moment.
The way Zhao Chen ignored him made him very irritated.
"Mr. Guanyin, I heard that the pheasant slave has been locking herself up in Prince Jin's Mansion these days. Is this possible?" the emperor asked, his tone quite dissatisfied.
"The pheasant slave is still young, so he will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable when he sees the girl he likes marrying in another country."
"After a while, he will forget about this!" Empress Changsun advised the emperor.
"What about Zhao Chen?"
"He is also young?"
"Don't you know that he didn't give me any face during the court meeting today? He turned around and left before the court meeting was over?"
"Does he still see me as his father?" The emperor then spoke about today's court meeting.
The emperor at this moment was like a powder keg about to explode.
From the emperor's own point of view, he married Wu Jue to King Gaochang solely for the sake of Zhao Chen and Li Zhi.
Do you have to wait until the two of them fight to the death over Wu Jue to be satisfied?
But Zhao Chen and Li Zhi were all facing him.
Li Zhi locked himself in Prince Jin's Mansion and did not go out for several days. People in Prince Jin's Mansion were worried that Li Zhi would commit suicide in the mansion.
If you say that Li Zhi is just torturing himself, then Zhao Chen is going too far.
In the Taiji Hall, in front of all the officials, he was completely ignored as the emperor.
If Li Shimin hadn't controlled his temper so well, he would have had Zhao Chen taken down at the right time.
Empress Changsun did not tell the emperor that she had been waiting for Zhao Chen in the Zhao Mansion all morning.
Otherwise, the emperor would be so angry that his heart and liver would tremble.
"Your Majesty, they are still young. After a while, they will figure it out and they will be fine." Empress Changsun advised.
In fact, she herself didn't have much confidence.
Zhao Chen directly avoided her, which was something that had never happened before.
This also means that Zhao Chen is really angry.
What's more important is that Zhao Chen's current performance is still extremely calm.
Queen Changsun was worried whether other things would happen in the future.
"You will protect them." The emperor complained, but he didn't say anything.
He also knew that marrying Wu Jue to Gaochang this time would be a huge blow to Zhao Chen.
It was almost equivalent to denying everything Zhao Chen had done before.
If it were him who acted like this, he would probably be even more angry.
"My only extravagant wish now is that Mr. Zhao can understand my painstaking efforts."
"It's for his own good!" the emperor said slowly, sighing softly.
"Yes, Chen'er is a smart child, and he will definitely understand what His Majesty means." Empress Changsun said.
But I was asking myself the same question in my heart.?
