"Ruoshuang, don't worry about those chicks. The old hen will take care of them. Don't let me be so clumsy to you!"
Outside the old house of Zhao Chen's family in Wannian County, Li Ruoshuang was watching the newly hatched chicks from the sixth aunt's house next door.
The fluffy little chicken is chirping behind the old hen, which is very cute.
Although Li Ruoshuang is the precious daughter of Duke Wei, she has never seen these things.
All she saw were old hens that were ready and served.
It was the first time I saw a cute little chicken, and I was so excited.
I watched these little chickens for a long time, and sprinkled a handful of fine rice on them from time to time.
Zhao Chen was also afraid that Li Ruoshuang would be pecked by the old hen. After all, the old hen at this time was very fierce.
"Zhao Chen, do you think we can raise a few chickens after we return to Chang'an?" Li Ruoshuang stood up and asked Zhao Chen who was cleaning up in the room.
"You can do whatever you like." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
He also felt that Li Ruoshuang was alone at home and could only practice swordplay when he had nothing to do.
If I were not here, there would be no one to talk to.
There is really no joy in living this kind of life.
Even if you grow some vegetables in the yard, you don’t need to take care of them every day.
Sometimes, it’s good to develop other hobbies.
"Then it's settled. After I get back, I'll have someone help me hatch some chicks." Li Ruoshuang seemed to be looking forward to it, with a look of yearning on her face.
"Ruoshuang, are you going to participate in this spring hunt?" Zhao Chen walked out of the room and sat next to Li Ruoshuang.
"Don't go. If you don't go, there's no point in me going." Li Ruoshuang shook her head.
In fact, she still wanted to go.
Her biggest wish at the beginning was to be like Li Xiuning back then, commanding the Detachment of Women to kill on the battlefield.
She has worked hard for this for a long time.
Even with the help of Zhao Chen, the Tibetan mission was embarrassed.
But in the end, she still had no chance to go to the front line.
Nowadays, it is even more impossible.
Spring hunting is what Li Ruoshuang has been looking forward to for a long time.
Here, she can truly show her personal strength.
But Zhao Chen probably won't go.
Li Ruoshuang felt that it was better not to go!
"Fool, I don't know martial arts, and it would be embarrassing to go hunting in the spring. You are different, you will definitely get a good ranking, and you will also make your husband look embarrassed!" Zhao Chen whispered in Li Ruoshuang's ear.
Li Ruoshuang's ears instantly turned red, but she did not avoid it.
"I don't care, if you don't go, I won't go either." Li Ruoshuang shook his head, then his expression became serious, and asked: "There are only a few days left before the Spring Hunting, so Cui Yan, is he about to take action?
"
"Zhao Chen, it's not safe to stay here, why don't we go back to Chang'an."
Li Ruoshuang was still worried.
Although the Xuanjia Army is powerful, it is on the battlefield.
Assassins are all about killing with one hit.
Li Ruoshuang was not absolutely sure that he could protect Zhao Chen's safety.
The best way is to go back to Chang'an.
"It's too late." Zhao Chen shook his head.
"Once Chu Mo and the others start destroying Boling Cui's shop, Cui Yan will definitely send assassins immediately."
"At this moment, those assassins should be on their way here." Zhao Chen said slowly.
"You did it on purpose?" Li Ruoshuang's expression changed slightly.
Zhao Chenming knew that destroying Cui's shop would completely anger Cui Yan, so why did he do it deliberately?
"If I don't do this, these people won't show up. I don't want to worry about my own safety even when I go out." Zhao Chen smiled and rubbed Li Ruoshuang's head, telling her not to worry.
"But even if we deal with these assassins, Cui Yan will definitely find a way, the prince, other aristocratic families..."
"Don't worry, since I chose to attack the Bolingcui family, I will definitely kill the chicken to scare the monkey." Zhao Chen smiled warmly.
Li Ruoshuang didn't understand.
I thought Zhao Chen was just saying that he would scare others by smashing Cui's shop.
…
"Your Majesty, I heard that..."
Ganquan Hall, Empress Changsun rarely comes to this place.
They were also afraid of disturbing the emperor's handling of government affairs.
But just after lunch, Queen Changsun came over, looking a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, I would like to advise the doctor Wei Zheng to see you." Before Empress Changsun could finish speaking, she heard the eunuch's voice coming from outside.
"Let him come in." Li Shimin waved.
He patted his position and motioned to Queen Changsun to sit down next to him.
"Your Majesty, I have seen you, Your Majesty!" Wei Zheng was a little tired. He came all the way here after returning from Wannian County.
I just wanted to tell the emperor what I knew.
Unexpectedly, Queen Changsun was also here.
"Well, get up and give me a seat." Li Shimin waved his sleeves and someone gave him a stool.
"Why did you come back so soon? Didn't I let you rest there for two more days?" Li Shimin asked as soon as Wei Zheng sat down.
Firstly, he felt that Zhao Chen needed someone to talk to, and secondly, he also wanted Wei Zheng to rest.
Although this old guy usually doesn't speak very well, he is still loyal to his country.
Li Shimin also wanted him to take care of his health.
"Your Majesty, I just heard that Duke Zhao Chen and Zhao County posted a notice in Chang'an City that all the shops belonging to the Boling Cui family will be destroyed." Wei Zheng said with a cupped hand.
Queen Changsun also looked over.
She came here for this very reason.
Although the reputation of the Bolingcui family is not what it used to be, Zhao Chen's actions were really too arrogant.
This is not good for Zhao Chen's reputation.
So she wanted to ask the emperor to take action to stop this behavior.
"I just heard about it, but there is no good way. Wei Qing, what do you think?" Li Shimin nodded and did not avoid the matter. Instead, he asked Wei Zheng for his opinion.
Queen Changsun felt that with Wei Zheng's character, he would definitely reprimand Zhao Chen for such behavior.
Please ask the emperor to stop this and severely punish these participants.
When the time comes, she can also come forward to intercede for Zhao Chen and others.
At least this way, Zhao Chen's reputation can be preserved.
Li Shimin himself felt that Wei Zheng would definitely tell him a lot of truth.
But……
"Your Majesty, I feel that Mr. Zhao did nothing wrong in this matter."
Wei Zheng's answer made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun look at each other.
Neither of them expected that a loyal minister like Wei Zheng would actually speak for Zhao Chen.
This is truly an anecdote for the ages!
Li Shimin was so curious in his heart that he secretly wondered what kind of ecstasy soup Zhao Chen had poured into Wei Zheng to actually say such words.
"Wei Qing, how much benefit did you receive from that boy Zhao Chen to speak for him?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
Queen Changsun also frowned.
After Xindao came into contact with Zhao Chen, even people like Wei Zheng were corrupted by him?
Wei Zheng wanted to explain the reason to the emperor, but he didn't expect that the emperor would speculate on him like this.
That's when the anger came up.
Then I heard Wei Zheng say angrily:
"It's ridiculous. I am an admonishing official of the Tang Dynasty. Justice and outspokenness are the principles of my life. What Your Majesty just said is slandering me, the imperial censor of the Tang Dynasty."
"Tomorrow at the court meeting, I will tell all your colleagues what your Majesty said today and ask them to listen. In your eyes, they are so arrogant!"?
