Being scolded by Wei Zheng like this, Li Shimin's face looked a little ugly.
But he also knew that he was the one who ridiculed Wei Zheng.
Moreover, if this guy had an argument with him, he would definitely not be his opponent.
You still have to appease him.
"I just made a joke. I hope Wei Qing won't take it to heart. I also want to know why Wei Qing said just now that Zhao Chen did nothing wrong in his actions this time?" Li Shimin asked Wei Zheng with a smile.
Now he wanted to change the topic, but also wanted to ask clearly about the situation on Zhao Chen's side.
"Humph!" Wei Zheng snorted angrily.
But he was anxious to tell the emperor what he knew.
"Your Majesty, when I was chatting with County Duke Zhao, he once said that the reason why he left Chang'an was because someone found an assassin..."
"Assassin?" Queen Changsun's face turned gloomy for a moment, and she looked at Wei Zheng with cold eyes.
"Who found the assassin?" Queen Changsun asked again.
Hidden in the calm voice was a strong murderous intention.
This was the first time Wei Zheng saw Empress Changsun looking like this.
However, Wei Zheng could understand Empress Changsun's concern for Zhao Chen.
"Cui Yan of the Boling Cui family?" Li Shimin thought of Zhao Chen's actions today and spit out Cui Yan's name.
"Cui Yan? The Boling Cui family wants to deal with Zhao Chen!" Queen Changsun's tone became increasingly cold and stern.
"This is what County Duke Zhao said."
"You bastard, you are seeking death." Empress Changsun slapped her hand on the table. Not only Wei Zheng, but also Li Shimin was shocked.
Wei Zheng knew that Empress Changsun cared about Zhao Chen, but he did not expect that she would care so much.
Does Zhao Chen really have a special relationship with His Majesty and the Queen?
"Don't be upset, Maid Guanyin." Li Shimin advised, and then asked Wei Zheng: "Are other aristocratic families participating?"
"In other words, are there other people involved in this matter?"
The emperor believed that after the family had been suppressed several times, the best way now was to lie dormant.
If the Bolingcui family dares to attack Zhao Chen, they will be blocking their own path to death.
Without help, the emperor thought it was impossible.
"Tell me, who else was involved in this matter?" Queen Changsun asked in a deep voice.
It seems that everyone involved in this matter is going to be taken down.
Wei Zheng did not dare to continue talking.
He originally wanted to ensure the stability of the court, so he rushed back to talk to the emperor about these things.
The queen must not be allowed to know that the prince was also involved in this matter.
Otherwise, there is absolutely no way this matter can be rectified.
"No, I only know that it was Cui Yan who planned this incident. I have never heard of anyone else participating." Wei Zheng said with a single bite.
The queen must not be allowed to know anything about the prince's initial involvement.
"Your Majesty, the governor of Jingzhao has sent news that Du He, Helan Chushi and others who are with His Royal Highness the King of Wei and the Crown Prince are also going to participate in this shop-smashing operation." A eunuch came in and reported to Li Shimin.
"Well, I understand." Li Shimin nodded, waved his hand, and the eunuch went out and closed the palace door.
"Wei Qing, please go to Wannian County again and tell me that Zhao Chen must come to participate in the spring hunt in five days, otherwise I will send someone to invite him back." Li Shimin explained to Wei Zheng.
He waved his hand to indicate that Wei Zheng could leave.
Wei Zheng actually wanted to remind the emperor to talk about the prince's affairs, but Empress Changsun was also here, so he couldn't say these words.
There was nothing he could do at the moment, so he nodded and left the Ganquan Hall.
"Your Majesty really believes that with the current Bolingcui clan, you dare to summon assassins to assassinate Zhao Chen?" Queen Changsun said slowly as soon as Wei Zheng left.
No one is a fool, Wei Zheng must be hiding something.
"Maybe, the Boling Cui family stood too high and fell badly this time. Maybe they didn't recover for a while." Li Shimin smiled, a little vague.
…
Night falls.
The people of Chang'an City looked at the shops that had been destroyed by Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and the others, and they still looked shocked as if they had never recovered.
In the past, the aristocratic family that was so high and mighty in the past had all their property destroyed in front of the entire Chang'an City people.
When I walked in and looked, I couldn't even find a complete cup.
Such a thorough and decisive method shattered the dignity that the Bolingcui family had accumulated for hundreds of years.
"This County Duke Zhao is really terrible. The Bolingcui family could have such a day."
"Who says it's not the case? King Wei has come in person, and the prince has also sent people over. Who else in Chang'an can have such a great reputation as County Duke Zhao?"
"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have never seen such a large number of followers."
"Although they feel comfortable today, His Majesty must have known about making such a big fuss, and he probably won't let them go easily."
"And other aristocratic families will definitely secretly think of ways to deal with County Duke Zhao. No one wants to follow in the footsteps of the Boling Cui family."
"Besides, the aristocratic families have their own base camp. If the shop in Chang'an is gone, they can still go back."
"In the future, Duke Zhao will probably have more opponents."
The people on the street were talking about this matter as they walked to their homes.
They were just watching what happened today for fun.
But Li Tai and others were all smiling.
Not only did they exercise their muscles, but they also earned Zhao Chen's favor. It can be said that they killed two birds with one stone.
Li Tai went back and was called back by the eunuch sent by the emperor.
From the looks of it, there will definitely be punishment.
The parents of the students also sent people to look for them, but why didn't they come at the beginning and had to wait until everything was done?
The reason is that they themselves know it.
Soon, everyone was almost gone.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu met at the street corner, and they looked at each other and smiled.
"Cheng Er, let's go to the pub for a drink today. We won't come back until we're drunk." Qin Huaiyu held a bunch of keys in his hand.
It is clearly the key to Wangyou Tavern.
"When did you get it? I've been craving for the wine in the tavern for a long time. That guy Zhao just refused to let me go alone." Cheng Chumo looked surprised.
The keys to the tavern are on Zhao Chen and Uncle Fu respectively.
Cheng Chu silently begged several times, but Zhao Chen refused to give it to him.
Said he would definitely mess up the pub when he was drunk.
Cheng Chumo was so angry, but it was even more difficult to deal with Fu Bo.
did not expect……
"Hey, Zhao Dasai gave it to me when I came back." Qin Huaiyu said proudly.
"This damn Zhao Da is too partial. Let's go, let's go to the tavern today and have a lot of fun. We won't leave a jar of wine for him." Cheng Chumo snorted dissatisfied, grabbed the key, and walked towards the tavern.
…
"Your Highness, we have followed your instructions, and we have worked very hard in this operation."
Reporting from Donggong, Du He and Li Chengqian.
"Where is Changsun Chong?" Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.
He also sent people there because he wanted others to know that he was on Zhao Chen's side.
Cui Yan's intention to assassinate Zhao Chen has nothing to do with him at all.
Although the method is relatively clumsy, as long as you can take it out, it is enough.
"Lord Changsun sent someone to take Changsun Chong back, and King Wei was also called away by His Majesty," Helan Chushi said.
"so……"
"Your Highness, there is news from the palace that His Majesty has announced that His Highness the Crown Prince has come to the palace to pay an audience." Li Chengqian still wanted to speak, but he heard a voice coming from outside.?
