"Boy Chen said he was going to the northern front line?"
"Did he really tell you that?"
In the Li Zheng Hall, the emperor listened to the words of Empress Changsun who had just returned from outside, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The emperor was still worried about how to persuade Zhao Chen to go to the northern front again.
But he didn't expect that the news Queen Changsun brought back to her was that Zhao Chen was going to the north on his own initiative.
"Your Majesty, the frontline is surrounded by dangers. Chen'er has just returned from Qizhou. I'm afraid his injuries have not healed well. It is not appropriate to let him go to the northern frontline again."
"If Chen'er mentions this matter to Your Majesty, Your Majesty must definitely reject him!" Empress Changsun told the Emperor.
Thinking that if Zhao Chen really went to the front line, she would be extremely worried, and Empress Changsun felt very uncomfortable.
She really hopes that Zhao Chen can stay in Chang'an and quietly be his King of Han.
When the time comes in the future, he will act as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
There is really no need to go to the front line.
In addition to being the empress of the Tang Dynasty, Empress Changsun was also a mother.
She just wanted to see her son live a peaceful life in Chang'an, instead of going to a war-torn place like the front line, where he would die if he was not careful.
The emperor didn't think so.
He wanted to say before that he had to think of a good way to let Zhao Chen go to the front line.
Lest Zhao Chen say that he just came back from Qizhou and use this as an excuse to excuse himself.
Now, luckily, Zhao Chen actually took the initiative to say that he was going to the northern front line. This made the emperor heave a big sigh of relief.
Not only did Zhao Chen not investigate the matter of the mastermind behind the scenes, he also took the initiative to ask to go to the northern front line. This was really a double blessing for the emperor.
"Mr. Guanyin, you don't have to worry. Don't you know what Mr. Chen is capable of? Even if he goes to the front line, he will definitely be able to keep himself safe."
"I didn't expect this boy to be so loyal, and it's not in vain for me to be so partial to him." The emperor said with a smile, a satisfied smile on his face.
Empress Changsun was stunned for a moment. She felt that the emperor thought of things too well.
Judging from the previous battle, Yeon Gaesumun and the generals under him are tough guys.
If one is not careful, something might happen.
Queen Changsun didn't want to hear any bad news coming from the front line.
But the emperor's current attitude made Empress Changsun know that there was no way to reverse the matter.
"If Your Majesty really plans to let Chen'er go to the front line, you must protect his safety." Empress Changsun and the Emperor said solemnly.
She felt that it was a mistake for her to go to Zhao Chen today.
"Don't worry, I will arrange this matter!" The emperor comforted Empress Changsun. He also knew Empress Changsun's worries.
…
Zhao Chen felt that the emperor was also strange.
I had just told Empress Changsun about wanting to go to the front line in the morning. Just after noon, the emperor came running over.
This is a bit too impatient.
"Boy Chen, I heard from the queen that you want to go to the front line." When the emperor came, he got straight to the point and talked about the matter directly with Zhao Chen.
"Isn't that why you came here?" Zhao Chen asked.
A smile appeared on the emperor's face, of course he was here for this matter.
This time he had taken advantage of him, killing two birds with one stone. He didn't have to deal with Li Xiaogong, but he could also let Zhao Chen take the initiative to go to the front line.
Then his previous bet with the officials went smoothly.
"Of course I came here for this matter. I was worried when I heard the queen said this."
"This front line is dangerous. If you go, you must take care of yourself. Also, who do you want to take with you?" the emperor and Zhao Chen asked.
The emperor wanted Zhao Chen to bring a few veterans there. The veterans were rich in experience and would definitely be able to help him a lot by being by Zhao Chen's side.
But Zhao Chen obviously didn't have this idea.
"Just take Cheng Chumo with you." Zhao Chen only said that he would take Cheng Chumo alone, which really surprised the emperor.
In other words, I started to feel worried.
Cheng Chumo has made a lot of achievements in the past, which is indeed good.
But his experience on the battlefield is not even as good as Zhao Chen.
If Zhao Chen only took him there, he would probably have to figure it out on his own.
"No, let's do this. You can bring Cheng Yaojin with you."
"That guy is a lucky general. As long as he is here, nothing will happen to you." The emperor thought for a while and then announced his decision.
Zhao Chen looked at the emperor, he felt that the emperor was a little strange today.
Logically speaking, if he asked to go to the front line, the emperor would probably stop him.
But today the emperor's attitude was very ambiguous, and he even arranged for Cheng Yaojin to go with him.
Does this guy have other ideas?
Zhao Chen thought secretly in his heart.
"Old Li Tou, you are a little strange!" Zhao Chen opened his mouth to test the emperor.
The emperor's eyes flashed, then he laughed and said with a smile: "I have already said that I also hope to avenge Uncle Bao as soon as possible. Since you have this intention, why don't I support you!"
"The other thing is that when you go to the front line, you must pay attention to your own safety. Also, you must not take the initiative to start a war against Goguryeo unless it is absolutely necessary."
"You also know the officials in the court. If you don't declare war, they won't let you go easily."
"I know." Zhao Chen just responded casually.
Although I feel that the emperor is very strange today, I have never been able to explain why.
However, the emperor has agreed to his plan, so the rest is no longer important.
As for what the emperor said, war against Goguryeo must not be initiated unless absolutely necessary.
It had already entered Zhao Chen's left ear and exited through his right ear.
Therefore, if the foreign emperor's orders are not accepted, he will not be able to take care of so much when it comes to the battlefield.
"By the way, if you go this time, you'd better find a way to capture Yeon Gaesumun. If you can catch him, I will definitely give you a huge reward."
"You should rest well in Chang'an for a while. When you are almost done resting, you can talk to me about this matter at the court meeting and discuss it with all the officials before you can leave."
"Let's go, you can have a good rest at home!" After the emperor said that, he stood up and left with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Chen sat where he was, thinking about what the emperor just said.
It's best to catch Yeon Gae Suwen, there will be a huge reward.
The emperor obviously meant something in his words.
Thinking about how he hesitated to talk about the schedule yesterday, Zhao Chen seemed to have some clues.
Although the emperor said that he wanted Zhao Chen to rest, it was obvious that not everyone wanted him to rest.
For example, today's Dali Temple Qing Dai Zhou, this guy came running over just after the emperor left.
Dai Zhou has no choice.
The emperor asked him to hand over all the contents of the interrogation to Zhao Chen, and Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment were busy non-stop.
If I hadn't thought that Zhao Chengcai had only been back for two days, I would go now and wouldn't be disturbed, so I postponed it for two days.
Otherwise Dai Zhou would have come running over long ago.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han!" Dai Zhou came to Zhao Chen and saluted Zhao Chen.
"Dai Siqing, long time no see. I heard that you have been promoted and made a fortune recently." Seeing an old acquaintance, Zhao Chen also had a smile on his face.
Dai Zhou shook his head, with a bitter look on his face: "There is no promotion or fortune, I will be exhausted."
"His Royal Highness the King of Han is still living comfortably."
"How's it going? Do you have time to go to Dali Temple for a walk today?"
