Suddenly something like this came into his mind, and Li Ke almost choked himself next to him.
What do you mean this dish is not enough?
He obviously wanted to see Zhao Chen surrender to him.
Li Ke didn't dare to speak.
If he says the wrong thing at this time, he will be punished later.
"Shopkeeper Chen, please bring some more dishes." Zhao Chen simply called the shopkeeper of Wangyou Restaurant to come over and continue serving the dishes.
The shopkeeper saw that the table was full of dishes, but now he still had to serve them.
Seeing the emperor's proud look again, I understood in my heart at that time.
He secretly scolded the old man in front of him for his ignorance.
I quickly ran downstairs and asked the kitchen to prepare it.
"Why do I feel that the way the shopkeeper looked at me just now was wrong?" The emperor looked at Zhao Chen and said slowly.
"Stop talking about those useless things, what else do you want?" Zhao Chen didn't want to talk to the emperor.
If Zhao Chen hadn't been invited to do something today, Zhao Chen would have thrown away his sleeves and left long ago.
Will you still be here to see the proud look of Old Li Tou?
"Boy Chen, what is your attitude? Are you asking for help?" The emperor pretended to be dissatisfied.
After finally waiting for an opportunity for Zhao Chen to ask him to do something, the emperor was not going to let it go so easily.
Thinking back to when I first asked Zhao Chen to do something, I was so embarrassed.
Where did this happen today?
"Old Li Tou, you're afraid that after today is over, you won't want to live another day, right?" Zhao Chen looked at the emperor expressionlessly.
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched.
This is not the attitude of asking for help.
This kid is clearly threatening himself.
The emperor wanted to say something sternly at this time, "My life will be miserable in the future."
But how could he say it out loud?
According to the current situation, he would have to ask Zhao Chen for help more often.
If he said this today, Zhao Chen would not be able to humiliate himself severely.
Not cost-effective, but not cost-effective at all.
"You dare to threaten me." The emperor said dissatisfiedly, and then changed the topic: "Well, seeing as you have helped me with many things before, I won't embarrass you."
"Tell me, there is something I need to do."
Li Ke was afraid that Zhao Chen and the emperor would fight here.
At that time, he himself didn't know whether he should watch the show or start a fight.
Fortunately, the emperor took a step back at this time.
"Wuxu sent me a letter from Gaochang, saying that Tibetan Songtsen Gampo was preparing to attack Gaochang."
"You should know about this!" Zhao Chen briefly told the emperor about Wu Xu.
Of course the emperor knew the news.
Shangshu Sheng had handed this news to his desk ten days ago.
But the emperor did not inform Zhao Chen about this.
News about Gaochang Kingdom also continued to reach the emperor's ears.
Less than a year after Wu Xu went to Gaochang Kingdom, she had already firmly established herself as the queen of Gaochang Kingdom.
He even took all the military and political power of Gaochang State into his own hands.
But a teenage girl actually has such ability.
The emperor did not want Wu Xu to have too much involvement with Zhao Chen.
So I had concealed this matter before.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen would take the initiative to mention it today.
"I have heard about this, but I don't want you, Mr. Chen, to interfere in this matter." The emperor looked at Zhao Chen and said lightly.
"Why?" Zhao Chen frowned.
"Yes, father, why can't you intervene in this matter? Wu Xu has always been treated like a sister by the emperor's brother, and Gaochang State is a subsidiary of our Tang Dynasty. If Tubo invades, it will be very easy for Gaochang State if we don't support it.
Destroyed by Tubo." Li Ke was also curious.
The emperor would not be ignorant of the relationship between Zhao Chen and Wu Xu.
It is also not clear that if the Tang Dynasty did not support Gaochang, Gaochang would definitely be destroyed by Tibet.
But the emperor still said that he did not want Zhao Chen to interfere in this matter.
What's the reason?
"You may not know it now, but less than a year after Wu Xu went to Gaochang, he killed all the members of the Gaochang royal family, and all the power in the court was controlled by Wu Xu."
"In today's Gaochang Kingdom, the real person holding the real power is Wu Xu."
"Think about it, she is just a teenage girl now."
"Furthermore, this Wu Xu has a very strong desire for power. I am worried that if you get too involved with him in the future, you will suffer disaster together with the Tang Dynasty." The emperor slowly explained the reason to the two of them.
The emperor's worries were not without reason.
Not long after that, the majestic Gaochang Kingdom was actually controlled by a woman.
How could a woman be so capable?
And judging from her control of the Gaochang court, Wu Xu's ambitions are indeed not small.
"Then what are your plans?" Zhao Chen didn't show any expression on his face.
The emperor frowned.
The more expressionless Zhao Chen became, the more worried he became.
With Zhao Chen's expression, he usually has already made a decision in his heart.
Therefore, his emperor's plan cannot change Zhao Chen's decision in his heart.
"Boy Chen, Wu Xu is not that easy to control..."
"When his father entrusted her to me, I would definitely ensure her safety." Zhao Chen interrupted the emperor.
"You want to save her!" The emperor's face looked a little gloomy, and his tone was quite unhappy.
"I want to save her!" Zhao Chen spit out four words.
"you……"
"Father, please calm down. Brother Huang is just worried about Miss Wu Xu. We will just send someone to bring Miss Wu Xu back from Gaochang Kingdom." Li Ke quickly persuaded the emperor.
If the two of them continue to talk about this, they will definitely break up in the end.
The emperor said nothing and looked at Zhao Chen coldly.
Zhao Chen didn't speak either, staring at the wine glass in front of him expressionlessly.
To bring Wu Xu back from Gaochang Kingdom, he might as well send troops to the front line to help Gaochang Kingdom resist Tibet.
This way you can also keep one of your dependent countries.
You can also gain reputation.
"I will definitely keep Wu Xu. What conditions can you offer?" After a long silence, Zhao Chen spoke.
"Father, the emperor has compromised. Can you make a request to the emperor?"
"For example, after the emperor rescued Wu Xu, he was not allowed to stay with them."
"Wuxu is not allowed to appear in the court!" Li Ke persuaded the emperor again.
After listening to Li Ke's words, the emperor's face showed a slightly pensive look.
The emperor also didn't want to have a serious dispute with Zhao Chen over Wu Xu's matter.
Zhao Chen was very angry with him because he gave Wu Xu a marriage to the King of Gaochang.
Fortunately, Queen Changsun was there to mediate.
Otherwise, I'm afraid the two of them would have resented each other long ago.
If the two of them are unhappy again because of Wu Xu's matter, I'm afraid the old scores from the past will be revealed.
"I can promise you to send troops to assist Gaochang, but you have to promise me two things." The emperor looked at Zhao Chen and spoke solemnly.
Zhao Chen did not speak, but waited for the emperor's next words.
"The first thing is that you must let Zheng win the bet you made with the officials before. You must not refuse the position of Prince of the Tang Dynasty." The emperor looked at Zhao Chen with a look that could not be refused.
Li Ke felt a little envious.
The position of Prince of the Tang Dynasty was so worthless in Zhao Chen's eyes.
