Zhao Chen didn't have any confidence in letting Cheng Chumo do that.
Moreover, Lu Yifa hated himself deeply at that time.
Only you can give the emperor a chance to escape from the sea of fire.
"How is the situation in Chang'an recently, Uncle Cheng?" Zhao Chen didn't want to talk about Qizhou anymore, but asked Cheng Yaojin about the situation in Chang'an.
"You just came back and you should have heard something."
"Since His Majesty the Emperor came back, there has been nothing particularly serious."
"According to the arrangement in the letter you left me, there was nothing else except that Jiang Siye stole the fake tiger charm and then arranged to get me drunk."
"Of course, the military power of the Beiya Imperial Army was indeed taken away at that time, but His Majesty the Emperor quickly returned to Chang'an without any major problems."
"If there is a problem, it is the disappearance of Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong."
"A few days ago, before you came back, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly said that Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County, was resigning from the post of Minister of Rites."
"And since His Majesty the Emperor came back, Prince Li Xiaogong of Hejian County has not appeared in the court."
"Everyone is speculating whether Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County, is related to the official affairs of Qizhou."
"Zhao Chen, what do you think?" After Cheng Yaojin finished talking about Chang'an, he asked Zhao Chen what he thought.
This time the emperor and Zhao Chen went to Qizhou, but Cheng Yaojin did not suffer any great grievances while staying in Chang'an.
Instead, he drank a lot at Jiang Siye's place.
The only thing that Cheng Yaojin couldn't figure out was whether the rumor that Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County, was colluding with Qizhou officials was true?
If it is true, why is there no news about the punishment of Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong?
But if it is fake, then what did Li Xiaogong do?
I also want to resign from the post of Minister of Etiquette.
This is really a headache.
"I guess only the emperor himself knows this matter. As for Li Xiaogong's problem, that's not what we should be concerned about."
"Uncle Cheng, after a while Cheng Er and I may go to the northern front line. Qin San has been at the northern front line. We don't know what the situation is now."
"Uncle Qin's death hit him hard. Cheng Er and I discussed that we should go to the northern frontline to avenge Qin San as soon as possible." Zhao Chen told Cheng Yaojin about his future plans.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Cheng Yaojin's eyes.
He murmured a few times, as if he had something to say to Zhao Chen.
"Uncle Cheng, do you have anything to say?" Zhao Chen and Cheng Yaojin asked.
"No, I just feel a little uncomfortable thinking about Shu Bao's death."
"You go to the front line to avenge Uncle Bao, and I will naturally be happy."
"But my country, the Tang Dynasty, has broken off the war with Goguryeo. I'm afraid you won't be able to take revenge if you go to the front line." Cheng Yaojin concealed his inner thoughts, and then reminded Zhao Chen.
Just as hundreds of officials told the emperor in the Taiji Hall at that time, the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo had ceased war. If the Tang army started a war for no reason again.
Didn’t the Tang Dynasty lose its benevolence and righteousness?
This is something that all officials would not allow.
If Zhao Chen really did that, he would probably be opposed by all the courtiers.
"Uncle Cheng, you know, those restraints are of no use to me."
"As long as I can get revenge, I will do whatever it takes." Zhao Chen smiled lightly and explained casually to Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin was stunned again.
Zhao Chen has always had this kind of character. Anyone who offends him will definitely retaliate against his enemy a hundred times or a thousand times.
The opinions of hundreds of officials in the court, whether they support or not, are meaningless to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen always only takes into account his own wishes when doing things.
This is both good and bad.
"Although you say that, now that you are Han and have a different status as king, you have more and more things to worry about."
"If all the officials in the court oppose you because of this matter in the future, it will be very detrimental to you." Cheng Yaojin looked at Zhao Chen worriedly.
He also hopes to avenge Qin Qiong as soon as possible, but if Zhao Chen offends all the courtiers because of this incident.
This is completely and totally not worth it.
In the words of Cheng Yaojin, after all, it is the living people who are most important.
Ruining Zhao Chen himself for revenge is definitely not a cost-effective thing.
"If the officials in the court object, then let them object. To put it bluntly, they are a bunch of rotten scholars sitting in a well watching the sky."
"If the affairs of the country are all about talking and talking, what else do we need the generals for? What do we need the army for?"
"Benevolence and righteousness, they will only stand in the court and talk about benevolence and righteousness. If they are really benevolent and righteous, they will go to the front line and talk about benevolence and righteousness to the enemy's soldiers." Zhao Chen's tone was a little fierce.
Of course Cheng Yaojin knew what Zhao Chen said was reasonable.
But many things are not his, and Zhao Chen will do whatever he says.
It's not like he, Cheng Yaojin, can do whatever he wants.
"We all know these things ourselves, they are civil servants..." Cheng Yaojin shook his head with bitterness on his face.
Zhao Chen calmed down and poured another glass of wine with Cheng Yaojin.
"Does the emperor have any attitude?" Zhao Chen asked Cheng Yaojin again.
Zhao Chen wanted to know from Cheng Yaojin what the emperor's attitude was towards the front line.
Although Yuan Gaisuwen originally ceded the city of Shacheng to Tang Dynasty.
But everyone knows that this is to stabilize the government of Goguryeo. As long as there is an opportunity, Yeon Gaesumun will not give up attacking the Tang Dynasty.
The emperor knows it, and so do all the officials.
So Zhao Chen wanted to know what the emperor's attitude was now.
"Your Majesty, he..." Cheng Yaojin wanted to say something but stopped here.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin in confusion.
"It's okay." Cheng Yaojin shook his head.
The emperor asked them to keep Zhao Chen a secret. He originally wanted to tell Zhao Chen about the emperor's attitude, but he still held back at this moment.
"His Majesty the Emperor's attitude is to wait until later. You can ask it yourself."
"You'll know then."
"It's getting late. It's time for me to go back. I just got back to my house and have a good rest." After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Zhao Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions.
He sent Cheng Yaojin out and then returned to his house.
Cheng Yaojin's attitude was very strange. He should know the emperor's views on the front line.
But he chose not to tell himself.
It should be that the emperor had given an explanation in advance.
Could it be that the emperor did not intend to take action against Goguryeo?
Zhao Chen sat in the yard and couldn't figure out what to do for a while.
…
Li Zheng Palace.
The emperor and empress changsun are both here.
The emperor ate the dishes sent by the Shangshi Bureau with a look of joy on his face.
"What happened to your Majesty today? You seem to be happier than before!" Empress Changsun couldn't help but smile when she saw the emperor's appearance.
"That guy Chen is back. I should rest assured. These dishes are much more delicious." The emperor smiled.
When Zhao Chen comes back, the situation in Qizhou will be almost settled, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about Zhao Chen's safety.
The stone in my heart finally fell.
In addition to being in a good mood, eating is also extremely comfortable.
"I think Chen'er will definitely come here tomorrow and ask about the mastermind behind Chang'an. Has Your Majesty thought about how to answer him?" Empress Changsun asked the emperor.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then put down the chopsticks in his hand.
He hasn't figured out how to explain to Zhao Chen yet.
The mastermind behind Chang'an must give an explanation.
