He just wanted to find some sense of accomplishment from Zhao Chen on today's occasion.
It would be best if everyone could compare themselves with Zhao Chen.
How can he be happy without comparison?
Luo Tong's ability was good, but it was only limited to his skill. Li Chengqian never cared about Luo Tong.
What he cares about is Zhao Chen.
The guy who dared to argue with me in front of everyone.
This time, Li Chengqian planned to step on Zhao Chen's back and make a beautiful comeback.
Li Chengqian and Du He sang and harmonized, and everyone present listened to it in their hearts.
No matter what, Li Chengqian is the prince.
Naturally, there will be no shortage of officials who flatter him.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's humility is indeed a blessing to our country, the Tang Dynasty, and I admire him."
"Thinking about how arrogant and arrogant the county magistrate was back then, and how humble the Crown Prince is today, there is a huge difference."
"His Royal Highness is indeed my crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Everything he says and does is virtuous."
"Compared with His Highness the Crown Prince, County Duke Zhao still has a lot to learn."
A burst of fragrant rainbow farts came out of the officials' mouths, and Li Chengqian was a little dazed when he was photographed.
It had been a long time since he had enjoyed this moment of public attention, and Li Chengqian felt indescribable joy in his heart.
Luo Tong and other people in the academy frowned.
In this spring hunting, they followed Zhao Chen's academy faction and lost in the end.
No one expected that Li Chengqian would surpass all of them single-handedly this time.
"Has sir returned to Chang'an City?" a student from the academy asked.
In fact, he just wanted to say, did Zhao Chen know that he was destined to lose, so he ran back to Chang'an City long ago?
If it were normal for someone among them to doubt Zhao Chen like this, they would have been sprayed to pieces by others.
But today, no one spoke.
The emperor was already standing on the high platform, waiting for the sun to go down and the spring hunt to end.
At the moment, there is not even a shadow of Zhao Chen.
Even Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were missing. Maybe they went back to Chang'an first because they were afraid of making a fool of themselves.
"Haha, Fang Yizhi, tell me yourself, did Zhao Chen run back to Chang'an first?" Du He folded his hands in front of his chest with a joking look on his face.
There were many things that Li Chengqian couldn't say easily, but he, Du He, could say them directly.
Just like now.
Even if others heard about it, they would just think it was just a matter of impulse from the younger generation.
"Du He, you fart, are you qualified to discuss my husband's affairs?" Fang Yi glared at Du He.
"Am I not qualified?" Du He looked at the group of people in the academy with a half-smile.
"On the first day of the spring hunt, Zhao Chen was so stubborn that he each bet a full five hundred thousand yuan. I thought he would definitely win the first place in the spring hunt."
"Who would have thought that the spring hunting would be over soon. As for Zhao Chen, not even a shadow was seen. As for the prey, not even a hair was seen."
"The number one in the spring hunt will definitely be His Highness the Crown Prince. Then Zhao Chen, you should go back and persuade him quickly. Don't let anything happen to him because of five hundred thousand guan." Du He's voice was not loud, but everyone present Everyone heard it clearly.
Although what Du He said was very unpleasant, the ministers all nodded slightly.
This time, Zhao Chen lost.
The first person in Chun Shou was Li Chengqian, whom no one expected.
Li Shimin stood on the high platform, listening to the noise of the people in front, and his expression was not so good-looking.
Although Du He was talking about Zhao Chen, Li Shimin felt like he had been slapped hard in the face.
He believed in Zhao Chen so much, but if he really ran back to Chang'an, Li Shimin felt that there was really no place for his face.
"Your Majesty, the time has come." Duan Lun and Li Shimin, Minister of Industry, reminded.
Fang Xuanling and the others were all missing, and only Duan Lun, a higher-ranking minister, was left with the emperor.
Li Shimin looked up and saw that the sun on the other side of the mountain had fallen into the other side of the mountain.
The blazing torches have been set up and the tall brazier has been lit.
"Quiet." Duan Lun and everyone shouted.
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Li Shimin on the high platform.
Li Chengqian was overjoyed, and next was his moment of glory.
"Seven days have come. This spring hunting is over. Let the Imperial Guard count the prey that everyone has caught and report it to me."
"Within seven days, I am very satisfied with all of you who have done your best to promote the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. I will also give rewards to those who have excellent results in this spring hunting."
"Anyone who gets into trouble will be punished severely."
The emperor's voice sounded, and this last sentence made everyone know that the emperor meant something.
He almost didn't say Zhao Chen's name directly.
Li Chengqian was extremely excited, but he said: "Father, you may have been fooled by your lack of strength. If you punish me again, I think there is something wrong. Please think again."
"His Highness the Crown Prince is right. Not everyone has the strength of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Yes, some people always like to play tricks, but when it's important, they even disappear."
"Not of much use!"
Before Li Shimin could say anything, a group of courtiers who took advantage of the situation began to play the role of the wall.
When the audience said this, Li Shimin became even more annoyed and shouted: "I have decided on this matter. I will definitely not be someone who fishes in troubled waters..."
"Da da da--"
In front of the camp, the rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly came out.
Wei Zheng appeared in front of everyone covered in blood.
His appearance really shocked everyone.
"Doctor Wei, what happened? Why is this happening?" Luo Tong, who was still expressionless at first, was really panicked when he saw that Wei Zheng looked like this.
The Forbidden Army soldier in charge of guarding the camp said that Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng left the camp in the morning.
Now Wei Zheng is the only one who has returned, and he still looks like this.
Who doesn't think something happened to them?
If Zhao Chen really...
Luo Tong glanced at the emperor and empress, and now he remembered what Cui Yan said to him when he died that day.
If Zhao Chen is really the son of the emperor and empress, if something happens to Zhao Chen...
"Wei Qing, what happened? Where are Fang Qing and the others? Where is Zhao Chen, isn't he with you?"
"What's the reason for this blood stain?" Before the night fell completely, Li Shimin saw the blood stain on Wei Zheng's body at a glance against the backdrop of the firelight.
Empress Changsun didn't see Zhao Chen, and seeing Wei Zheng like this, her whole body shook slightly.
Wei Zheng was about to complain to the emperor that Zhao Chen did not respect the old and care for the young, so he forced himself to carry the prey out of the mountain col.
The carcasses of nearly a hundred prey almost killed Wei Zheng on the spot.
When the emperor asked him this question, Wei Zheng was a little stunned.
"Your Majesty, it's too difficult for me. Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!" Wei Zheng suddenly pulled the emperor's clothes and cried to Li Shimin.?
