Wei Zheng's sudden opening caught the officials a little off guard.
Even if Wei Zheng is telling the truth.
But to the prince, it was equivalent to Wei Zheng trying to embarrass Li Chengqian.
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other officials stood at the front, who had never spoken.
At this moment, they all turned around and looked at Wei Zheng in surprise.
Li Chengqian's complexion also became ugly.
Wei Zheng was the gentleman sent by the emperor to his East Palace a long time ago.
As his husband, Wei Zheng should be on his side with Li Chengqian.
Even if you, Wei Zheng, are on good terms with Zhao Chen, there is no reason to abandon your own students.
Now Li Chengqian feels that Wei Zheng has betrayed him!
The emperor sat on it with no expression on his face, but he felt a little happy in his heart.
Wei Zheng finally lived up to his hard work.
Finally stood with Zhao Chen.
In this way, Zhao Chen can be regarded as having a die-hard loyalist.
If I go to Wannian County to practice for a while, then when I return to the court, things will be different.
Everything went according to Li Shimin's plan.
Old Li Tou expressed his satisfaction.
Zhao Chen was very happy that Wei Zheng completely stood by his side.
He cupped his hands with the emperor and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said that he will test the medicine for His Majesty. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so filial. How dare Zhao Chen let him down."
"Presumably His Highness the Crown Prince should not just pay lip service!"
Zhao Chen said this last sentence to Li Chengqian.
At this moment, unless the emperor spoke up and said that Li Chengqian did not need to take medicine, otherwise Li Chengqian had to take this "elixir" just for the sake of safety, as he had just said.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince. Since the so-called elixir has been proven to be fake, how can we allow His Highness the Crown Prince to take this medicine?" Changsun Wuji was forced to have no choice but to persuade the Emperor.
If all the officials hadn't been shocked by Zhao Chen's violent tactics just now, Changsun Wuji would not be the only one to speak now.
Changsun Wuji thought to himself.
When Zhao Chen force-fed officials the so-called "elixir" at the beginning, he had actually planned it in advance.
In this way, other officials will be frightened and no one will dare to speak out when the prince is forced.
You are young, but your thoughts are so delicate!
In this aspect alone, the prince is far inferior to him.
Changsun Wuji thought to himself.
"The prince is the crown prince. A gentleman's words are hard to catch. Could it be that the eldest grandson Pushe thinks that what the prince said to his majesty is all a joke?"
"Of course I don't mean this!" Changsun Wuji said quickly.
Who dares to say that he means this?
The prince was joking when he said he was testing the emperor's medicine?
When the emperor heard this, his face turned black with anger?
"In that case, please take the medicine, His Royal Highness." Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng winked.
Wei Zheng immediately grabbed a piece of dough with his hands, rolled it into a round shape, and then threw the dough into the basin full of light powder.
After a little stirring, the "elixir" of "auspicious light" was born.
"Your Highness, please take the elixir." Wei Zheng walked to the audience and shouted to Li Chengqian beside him.
Li Chengqian's face was filled with anger.
The hands shrunk in the sleeves were shaking slightly with anger.
"Wei Zheng, are you treating me like this?" Li Chengqian suppressed his voice and whispered to Wei Zheng.
"Please take the elixir, Prince!" Wei Zheng's expression remained unchanged as he and Li Chengqian continued to shout.
Li Chengqian looked back at the emperor, but saw that the emperor had no expression and seemed to have no intention of excusing him.
"Okay! I will take it and test the medicine for my father!" Li Chengqian shouted angrily and snatched the "elixir" from Wei Zheng's hand.
He glanced at Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng hatefully and threw the "elixir" into his mouth.
…
After the court meeting dispersed, Li Chengqian vomited for a while and was sent back to the East Palace.
The emperor said nothing, as if on the eve of the outbreak of thunderous wrath.
Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng walked out of Ganquan Palace. No one from the civil servants around them dared to come within five steps of them.
When Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng walked over, the civil servants in front of them, regardless of their official position, retreated to both sides, lowering their heads and not daring to look at Zhao Chen.
Everyone had a look of fear on their faces.
"Mr. Zhao, wait a moment!" Zhao Chen and Wei Zheng were walking out of the hall when they suddenly heard a shout from behind them.
When I looked back, I saw someone running behind me.
It was the bearded man named Su from the day before yesterday!
"Doctor Wei!" The bearded man held hands with Wei Zheng.
"General Su Lie, I am no longer a doctor. Now I am just a county magistrate. I should not be like this." Wei Zheng and the visitor said with a bitter smile.
"Doctor Wei, don't be discouraged. With Mr. Zhao's help, you will be back in court soon." Su Lie and Wei Zheng comforted each other, and then said to Zhao Chen, "Mr. Zhao, I'm Su Lie, Mr. Fang Cai."
His performance in the court impressed Su so much that he came here to meet him."
Su Lie!
This name may sound a little strange.
But when you mention his words, many people will understand it in their hearts.
Su Lie, whose courtesy name is Dingfang.
During the Northern Expedition to the Eastern Tujue, the decisive night attack on Yinshan Mountain was carried out.
Su Dingfang led two hundred cavalry to enter the formation first and broke through Jieli Khan's tent, making great contributions to the destruction of the Eastern Turks.
Although he was not among the twenty-four ministers of Lingyan Pavilion during Li Shimin's time, he was still a famous figure.
"I didn't expect that the general is General Su Dingfang who rode on the Yin Mountain. I'm a shameless brat. General, please forgive me." Zhao Chen and Su Dingfang said, cupping hands.
"As for Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao is very capable and Su has long admired him. Niu Shuai often asked me about him in his letters."
"Just now in the Ganquan Palace, sir, you were neither humble nor arrogant, which made those pedantic civil servants embarrassed for a while. I saw this and felt very happy in my heart." After Su Dingfang finished talking to Zhao Chen, he handed over to Zhao Chen again.
Zhao Chen actually didn't quite understand what Su Dingfang's intention was in finding him.
If it was just to say a few words of respect, there was no need to involve Niu Jinda.
Zhao Chen has a good relationship with Niu Jinda.
Su Dingfang mentioned Niu Jinda, which made Zhao Chen feel that Su Dingfang wanted to have a good relationship with him.
But he had just offended many civil servants and forced the prince to eat dough made with Cheng Yaojin's sweat.
Wouldn't being friendly with yourself at this time mean you are going against the prince?
"General Su, it's getting late now. I and Zhao Chen have to go back to clean up their belongings. They will go to Wannian County to take up their posts tomorrow."
"If General Su is interested, he can come to the city gate to see us off tomorrow." Wei Zheng suddenly said to Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zhao Chen. Seeing that Zhao Chen was silent, he nodded with a smile and said, "If I have time tomorrow, I will be there."
"Farewell!" Wei Zheng nodded and pulled Zhao Chen away.
Not long after walking, the two of them were walking on the palace road. Wei Zheng suddenly slowed down and said to Zhao Chen, "Young man Zhao understands what Su Lie means."
"He wants to take refuge with me?" Zhao Chen was a little unsure.
Wei Zheng's eyes flashed, he looked at Zhao Chen in disbelief, and said in surprise: "Did you see it? I thought you didn't know what he meant!"?
