Chapter 1811 Proclaiming himself emperor! Bastard!
"Sir, what do you mean by the emperor?"
"It's been three days, why hasn't he made any movement yet?"
"Now there is news about Zhao Chen everywhere in Chang'an City. Does the emperor really not care at all?"
In the dimly lit secret room, the young man looked puzzled, unable to understand what the emperor was thinking right now.
Since the emperor ordered the official to be killed with a stick in the court, he also sent Cheng Yaojin to lead people to arrest those who spread the rumors.
But as a result, not only were the rumors not contained, but they became more widely known.
Now the people of Chang'an have everything they want.
It was just a mess outside.
Young people are a little anxious now. ??
If the emperor keeps delaying this matter, Japan's request to them may not be able to be fulfilled.
The official who spoke was exactly what they arranged.
After getting the news from the Japanese country, they immediately began to look for people and looked for a suitable opportunity to talk to the emperor about the matter in public.
They also sent people to spread the rumors in Chang'an City.
The purpose was to make the emperor unable to avoid this matter.
But they still didn't expect that the emperor actually dealt with the official directly, and even sent people to arrest the person who spread the news.
Now three days have passed and the emperor still hasn't moved at all.
This inevitably makes people a little anxious.
The old man looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes darkened: "Do you think the emperor can cover up this matter by avoiding it like this?"
"Or do you think the emperor would really allow Zhao Chen to act so recklessly?"
"Isn't it?"
"That Zhao Chen dared to act like that in the capital of Silla. He clearly planned to be independent, but the emperor did not immediately order the capture of Zhao Chen. It was clear that he still wanted to protect Zhao Chen." The young man said in confusion.
.
Be independent.
Still a prince.
No emperor can tolerate such a thing happening.
This was clearly challenging the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and shitting on the emperor's head.
Anyone who behaves like this should be severely punished immediately.
However, His Majesty the Emperor did not show up for three days, which inevitably made people feel that the Emperor did not intend to severely punish Zhao Chen.
This is completely different from their plan.
The old man looked at the young man in front of him with some disappointment. After a long silence, he slowly said: "The prince is self-reliant. No matter how much the emperor tolerates Zhao Chen, there is absolutely no way he can tolerate this matter."
"He has not issued an explicit edict until now, but he is still worried that the secret message from that day is not true."
"Do you know how much benefit Zhao Chen has brought to the emperor?"
"If there is no conclusive evidence for this matter, how could the emperor be willing to turn against Zhao Chen."
"And after all, Zhao Chen is the emperor's legitimate son. Even if Zhao Chen makes mistakes and Empress Changsun is caught in the middle, the emperor will definitely be concerned about her."
"In my opinion, the emperor is currently silent. He just wants to wait for news."
"But since he has to wait for news, we can have someone send him good news."
"good news?"
"What good news?" the young man asked curiously.
"You will know when the time comes." The old man kept it secret and did not say it directly.
…
Li Zheng Palace.
The emperor has been lying here for three days.
Ever since he ordered the punishment of that nonsense-talking official, the emperor didn't want to go anywhere.
I said I didn’t want to go, but actually I didn’t dare to go.
Rumors were abuzz in the city.
As soon as he shows up, countless officials will come to him and ask for an explanation.
Law.
A dignified prince, independent in the capital of Silla!
This news was like a blow to the head, hitting Lao Li with stars in his eyes.
He didn't believe that Zhao Chen would do this.
The arrival of the secret letter made him unable to believe it.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible for him to be without any means. In every army with more than ten thousand people, he was the emperor's informant.
The secret message that day was conveyed by his informant.
The emperor, who originally did not believe that Zhao Chen would act so recklessly, was in a state of emotional collapse at that moment.
He couldn't figure out why such a thing would happen after he had already given everything he could to Zhao Chen to Zhao Chen.
Even if Zhao Chen forged an imperial edict and mobilized an army, Li Shimin didn't really want to do anything to Zhao Chen.
It's just that he was forced by hundreds of officials to have no choice but to temporarily remove Zhao Chen's title.
But what about Zhao Chen?
How do you repay yourself?
disappointment!
Very disappointed!
"Alas!" Old Li sighed longly.
"Your Majesty is still thinking about Chen'er!" Empress Changsun walked to the emperor with the soup and heard the emperor's long sigh.
"I'm holding it back very tight." Lao Li waved his hand and slowly lay down again.
Empress Changsun gently held the emperor's hand and comforted her: "I don't believe that Chen'er can be so confused. What benefits can he get from standing on his own in the capital of Silla?"
"Am I, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, worse than the king of a small country?"
"Mr. Guanyin, you don't understand. He must have thought that I would severely punish him for forging an imperial edict."
"I was worried that I would send someone to capture him, so I established myself in the capital of Silla."
"It's just... alas, that boy doesn't believe me after all." The emperor sighed again, his face seemed to look much older.
Queen Changsun 1
Time actually didn't know how to comfort the emperor.
She didn't know what Zhao Chen was thinking.
But she believed that Zhao Chen would not do such a thing.
Even if the emperor wanted to punish Zhao Chen, wouldn't he, the queen mother, help him?
"Your Majesty, there are ministers who want to see you."
"No." When the emperor heard someone asking to see him, he immediately objected.
He hides here just so that he doesn't see anyone.
Are you being chased now?
"Your Majesty, he also brought a secret letter. Do you want to submit it to Your Majesty?" the eunuch outside said again.
"Secret message?" The emperor frowned.
Then he looked at Queen Changsun aside, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Send the letter here."
"yes!"
After a while, the eunuch sent a secret message and then left again.
The emperor opened the secret letter and looked directly at the signature. His pupils shrank suddenly and his expression suddenly changed.
"His Majesty……"
"Bastard!" Before Empress Changsun could ask the question, the emperor was furious.
"Bastard, bastard, I'm really blind!" The emperor jumped up from the bed angrily.
The secret message in his hand was once again tightly held by him.
"It was a waste of my trust in him. He actually became independent in the capital of Silla."
"Mr. Guanyin, you really gave birth to a good son for me."
"Your son is now in the royal capital of Silla and has proclaimed himself emperor, with the name Daye." The emperor stared at Empress Changsun angrily with red eyes.
He didn't expect that two secret letters in three days would make him more angry than the last.
I trust Zhao Chen so much that even if he forges an imperial edict, I don't want to hold him accountable.
