Li Chengqian's expression changed, and he looked at Zhao Chen in front of him, with a blazing light on his face.
Li Tai's expression on the side also changed suddenly, and he squeezed his hands together tightly.
Li Jing's status in the military was unparalleled by anyone.
From the prince Li Chengqian to the common people, who wouldn't want to be Li Jing's disciple?
If you become Li Jing's disciple, you will definitely have a worry-free future in this life.
With Li Jing as his backer, who would dare to embarrass Zhao Chen?
Li Jing's decision to accept Zhao Chen as his disciple undoubtedly touched many people's minds.
"Zhao Chen!" Cheng Yaojin quietly poked Zhao Chen behind his back with his finger, signaling him not to hesitate and to agree quickly.
Qin Qiong also looked at Zhao Chen nervously.
At this moment, they didn't care whether Zhao Chen could answer Li Jing's question.
Li Jing said what he just said and made it clear that he wanted to accept Zhao Chen.
So no matter what Zhao Chen's answer was, Li Jing would nod in agreement.
Such a God-given opportunity, which many people would never dare to think about, Zhao Chen didn't even react at all.
Li Ruoshuang was also worried. This was the third time that her father had expressed this intention.
Zhao Chen will never refuse again, right?
"Your Majesty, what does Duke Wei mean?" Queen Changsun and Li Shimin asked in a low voice.
"He is conveying a message to Zhao Chen." Li Shimin frowned slightly and slowly spoke to Queen Changsun.
"Send a message?" Empress Changsun frowned and asked with some uncertainty: "Did Li Jing deliberately embarrass Zhao Chen?"
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded.
"Zhao Chen's performance today was too dazzling. Figures like Fang Xuanling were defeated, and the prince also suffered a loss at his hands."
"If we defeat Changsun Wuji again, the future will be unpredictable."
"That's why Li Jing came out to embarrass him."
"Now let's see if Zhao Chen can understand what Li Jing means." Li Shimin sighed, with a worried look on his eyes.
"What would happen if Zhao Chen couldn't figure it out at once?" Empress Changsun felt a sudden change in her heart and asked hurriedly.
She only felt that Zhao Chen's performance today made her extremely happy.
I didn’t think too deeply about it.
Now that the emperor said this, Empress Changsun's heart suddenly tightened.
"Either choose to join their side, or be targeted by the two of them." Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who looked gloomy, and said in a deep voice.
"If we directly announce Zhao Chen's identity now..."
"Then he will definitely die." Before Empress Changsun finished speaking, she heard the emperor say this.
Suddenly I felt even more anxious.
In fact, she also understood that making Zhao Chen the deputy examiner would facilitate him to develop his power in the court.
If Zhao Chen's identity is exposed now, unless Zhao Chen follows them every day, something will happen.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Queen Changsun frowned.
"Wait." Li Shimin spit out one word.
"Zhao Chen, if you come up with an answer, just speak up. I will definitely not go back on my words."
"As they say, it is indeed difficult to become my disciple, Li Jing. You must cherish this opportunity." Li Jing said with a smile.
In the Tai Chi Hall, silence fell once again.
Everyone's eyes were on Zhao Chen, some were envious, some were worried, some were dissatisfied, some...
"It is also Zhao Chen's dream to become General Li's disciple, but Zhao Chen understands that his abilities are far from meeting General Li's requirements."
"Zhao Chen only saw the ten major military formations by chance. As for the details of the military formations, Zhao Chen has indeed forgotten all."
"I don't dare to speak nonsense. Zhao Chen will admit defeat in this battle."
Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Chen actually gave up.
And there was no hesitation and no trace of sloppiness.
"Is this kid crazy?"
"Obviously Duke Wei Guo has expressed his intention to accept a disciple. As long as he answers a few words, no matter whether it is good or bad, Li Jing will definitely say yes."
"Why would you give up such an opportunity?"
"This kid seems to be a stubborn donkey. No matter how capable a person like this is, it will be difficult for him to survive in the officialdom."
"Haha, what this kid said today must have offended Li Jing. I'm afraid it will be very difficult in the future."
The discussions among the ministers were loud and clear to everyone's ears.
"Brother Imperial, this Zhao Chen actually gave up this opportunity. Although he has the ability, he can't adapt, and he won't be able to achieve anything big in the end."
"This Zhao Chen should be left to Brother Huang. With his help, Brother Huang will definitely make further progress." Li Tai released his clenched fists and said with a smile.
"I don't have a place for him in the East Palace." Li Chengqian said lightly, but he also let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Lao Cheng, this bastard, actually..." Qin Qiong pointed at Zhao Chen, looking like he hated iron.
How many people wanted to become Li Jing's disciples, and Li Jing even expressed his intention to accept disciples in the Tai Chi Hall.
Obviously, as long as Zhao Chen makes a few random remarks, Li Jing will accept him.
Is it possible that there are still people who dare to say that Zhao Chen gave the wrong answer and start a fight with Li Jing?
Qin Qiong was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
He pointed his finger at Zhao Chen, his body trembling slightly.
"Oh, forget it, I guess he doesn't have that fate..."
"Uncle Bao, Uncle Bao, what's wrong with you!"
Before Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he saw Qin Qiong suddenly falling to the ground.
Cheng Yaojin, with quick hands and quick eyes, grabbed Qin Qiong, but saw that his face was pale and he fell into a coma.
Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly, which shocked Li Shimin's expression.
He hurriedly ran to Qin Qiong's side.
"What's going on here?"
"Shu Bao's face was a little pale when he came today."
"Royal doctor, send the imperial doctor!"
The Tai Chi Hall was in panic.
Li Shimin squatted beside Qin Qiong with a gloomy expression.
He cherishes these old people who have been with him for so many years.
As long as he does not do anything disobedient, he will treat everyone with kindness.
What's more, a good old man like Qin Qiong.
soon.
Then an imperial doctor hurried in, and everyone gathered around Qin Qiong, no longer paying attention to Zhao Chen.
Under Zhao Chen's instruction, Li Ruoshuang ran out of Tai Chi Hall to look for Qin Huaiyu.
"How is Uncle Bao?" Seeing the imperial doctor raise his head, Li Shimin asked quickly, looking nervous.
"Alas, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in a coma caused by an old injury."
"The Duke of Guo has many hidden injuries and is severely depleted of energy and blood."
"If an ordinary person were to suffer such a loss, he would have been killed a long time ago, but the Duke is very skilled in martial arts, so he has survived until today."
"I must have been a little excited just now, so..."
"Even the Great Luo Immortal may not be able to cure this kind of situation."
The imperial doctor shook his head and told Qin Qiong's general situation.
Tai Chi Hall became quiet, no one spoke.
They naturally knew very well who Qin Qiong was.
In battles big and small, always take the lead.
The injuries suffered and the blood shed are truly countless.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have died countless times, but Qin Qiong is the only one who has survived to this day.
This is the moment...
"Uncle Bao, you have suffered so much because I can't help you."
"Your injuries are all because of me. Now that the Tang Dynasty is emerging, it is the time for you to enjoy blessings. You must hold on and never... never leave me like this." Li Shimin held Qin Qiong's hand.
, exclaimed in pain.
Seeing the emperor like this, everyone around them had sad expressions on their faces.
