The official's intention was very clear when he opened his mouth, but he did not directly name Changsun Wuji as the culprit.
Changsun Wuji felt that he had never been so wronged.
The emperor had not come back before, so he could still pretend that nothing had happened. He would only say a few words to others, so it would not be a big problem.
If he doesn't refute now, if the emperor really believes this guy, then he will be doomed.
"When you say this, why are you looking at me? Do you suspect that I kidnapped Wei Xuancheng and the others?"
"If you have evidence, just show it to His Majesty."
"If not, just talk nicely." Changsun Wuji said coldly.
When the official was told this by Changsun Wuji, he felt a little scared.
After all, Changsun Wuji is the uncle of the state. No matter what, his status is not something that an ordinary official can offend.
The officials didn't speak, and the atmosphere in Tai Chi Hall was a bit strange.
The emperor saw it and showed a smile on his face, saying: "The auxiliary machine does not have to be like this. Du Aiqing is also worried about Wei Zheng and the others. It's okay."
"Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Chu Suiliang have been rescued and are now recuperating in various houses."
"Prince Hejian County, he excused himself yesterday and said he was not feeling well. He wanted to have a good rest at his residence and could not come to the court for the time being."
"No one needs to worry."
"Where is Dali Temple?"
"Your Majesty, Dai Zhou, the young minister of Dali Temple, is leaning down to obey orders." Dai Zhou walked to the center of the Tai Chi Hall and said to the emperor.
"From now on, you will concurrently serve as the minister of Dali Temple and be responsible for the trial of Qizhou officials planning riots and regicide cases."
"The results of the interrogation will be handed over to King Zhao Chen of Han for review when he returns to the capital."
"I will personally plan the execution of those who have committed the most heinous crimes," the emperor and Dai Zhou said.
Dai Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then in the envious eyes of all the officials, he cupped his hands with the emperor and said, "I obey the decree."
Sitting in the position of Minister of Dali Temple, Dai Zhou was unexpectedly and even more excited.
But what he couldn't figure out was why Zhao Chen was asked to review all the interrogation results.
"There is one more thing that I can tell you all today." The emperor spoke again.
All the officials looked at the emperor, waiting for his next words.
"When I went to Qizhou this time, there was no prince in Chang'an to supervise the country. As a result, chaos arose in Chang'an. The prime minister of Wei and the prime minister were both kidnapped."
"So I have decided to establish a crown prince." The emperor opened his mouth and said to the officials.
When all the officials heard this, they were all stunned.
Since Li Tai was deposed, the emperor has never mentioned the matter of establishing a crown prince.
This also resulted in the emperor having to choose people from among the hundreds of officials to handle government affairs when he went out.
But once something happened to Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, all the officials in the court lost their leaders.
The court was in chaos.
"Your Majesty, the matter of establishing a crown prince is of great importance. Does your Majesty have a suitable candidate in mind?" Changsun Wuji said.
Changsun Wuji's intuition was that the emperor wanted to make Zhao Chen the crown prince.
Moreover, the emperor had just said that Dai Zhou should show Zhao Chen all the interrogation situations.
If Zhao Chen was just a Han king, there would be no need for him to do such a thing.
But if Zhao Chen is granted the title of Crown Prince, these matters will be his responsibility.
"I plan to make the King of Han the crown prince, what do you think?" the emperor asked, confirming Changsun Wuji's suspicion.
Changsun Wuji said nothing.
If the emperor wants to make Zhao Chen the crown prince, he has to see whether the officials agree or not.
Changsun Wuji felt that the officials might not agree to make Zhao Chen the crown prince.
Zhao Chen was arrogant and acted recklessly in the court several times, offending many court officials.
Everyone would be worried that if Zhao Chen still treated officials like them like that after he was established as the prince, who wouldn't worry that he would be beaten to death by Zhao Chen?
For their own safety or for other reasons, many people will definitely stop this.
"Your Majesty, I feel that His Royal Highness the King of Han is not qualified to be established as the crown prince for the time being." An official from the Ministry of Rites spoke first.
"Your Majesty, the prince is established by benevolence and filial piety, but his ability is second to none."
"His Royal Highness the King of Han treats the Queen very well, and his filial piety is impeccable. However, the King of Han has been violent to the court several times, and all the officials are worried, and their expressions change every time they talk about the King of Han."
"I feel that in order for the King of Han to be established as the crown prince, he must at least cultivate benevolence first," the official of the Ministry of Rites continued.
The emperor's face did not look very good.
But there is no way to refute it.
Zhao Chen's temperament is a bit stubborn and his methods are a bit impulsive, but it cannot be said to be unkind.
You want to kill him Zhao Chen, but he still has to respond with a smile?
The emperor was dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything, but looked at the others.
All the officials bowed their heads, and no one was willing to speak for Zhao Chen.
"Your Majesty, I feel that His Royal Highness the King of Han is the best candidate for the crown prince." Fang Yizhi walked out of the crowd and said.
Baiguan frowned, Fang Yizhi was in the same group as Zhao Chen, so naturally he would speak for him.
"Your Majesty has two princes. The King of Han is the eldest son. He is the weakest this year. In the past three years, he has conquered Tibet in the west and Goguryeo in the north."
"Rice and potatoes can make countless people live in the world."
"With such achievements, several emperors throughout the ages can compare with the King of Han."
"Moreover, the King of Han is young, and he will definitely open up territory for us, the Tang Dynasty, and create a foundation for eternity in the future."
"I don't know that you have a better candidate than His Highness the King of Han!" Fang Yizhi stood in the middle of the hall and said to the officials.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the King of Han is a bit arrogant, but that's just a clear distinction between grudges and grudges."
"You may ask, among all the ministers who have not offended the King of Han, who has been dealt with by His Highness the King of Han?"
"Even many times, the King of Han tolerated them, but some people didn't know what to do." Changsun Chong walked out of the queue and said the same thing.
The officials didn't know how to continue.
They knew that the guys targeted by Zhao Chen were all people who had offended Zhao Chen before.
But they were still worried that once Zhao Chen became the prince, would they still have the right to speak in the court?
Zhao Chen stood here, but he was much more afraid of them than the emperor.
If you offend the emperor, the most you can do is to be reprimanded by the emperor.
If you offend Zhao Chen, your legs might be broken here.
This is absolutely not possible!
"Your Majesty, although what Fang Yizhi and Changsun Chong said is reasonable, I am still worried that His Highness the King of Han will take action against us."
"If your Majesty really wants to make the King of Han the crown prince, I will resign and leave."
"In this way, at least I can save my life." the official of the Ministry of Rites said.
"The same is true for me."
"The same is true for me. If Your Majesty wants to make the King of Han the crown prince, I will also resign and return home."
"I would like to ask your Majesty to consider the candidate for the crown prince again."
The emperor was so angry that his brain ached.
Are you considering the choice of crown prince again?
Are you considering Li Zhi or Li Ke?
Establishing leaders does not establish virtuous people.
Now that Zhao Chen is the eldest son, he is talented and capable, but these guys still don't agree.
Is it possible that if the emperor dies, the Tang Dynasty will not establish a new emperor?
It's really ridiculous.
"If you are thinking about the candidate for the crown prince again, would you like to name someone for me?"
"How about I give up this throne to you and let your son be the prince?"
"How?" The emperor looked coldly and scolded the officials. This chapter has been completed!
