The emperor looked at Chen Changfeng and saw that there was no wave in his eyes.
I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart that what I said just now was deliberately framed by the third prince to Chen Changfeng.
After all, their relationship is indeed not very good.
Besides, I had mentioned to Chen Changfeng before that no matter what, he should not attack his own brother.
At this moment, listening to Chen Changfeng's words, the emperor still believed it in his heart.
"Father, you must not listen to the sixth brother's sophistry. He really promised Huo Qubing that he would help him kill the second brother."
"Otherwise, my father thinks, why was Huo Qubing suddenly allowed to return?"
"Actually, they just want to kill the second brother for revenge." The third prince saw that the emperor's expression softened slightly, knowing that the emperor actually didn't believe what he said.
Quickly fan the flames.
Although the third prince didn't know what happened after he fell into coma, how could he agree to Chen Changfeng's invitation with Huo Qubing's previous attitude?
The third prince guessed that Chen Changfeng must have once again used the excuse of killing the second prince, making Huo Qubing unable to refuse.
"Third brother, if you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense, or you should come up with evidence now." Chen Changfeng's expression remained unchanged.
The third prince's expression changed slightly.
Of course he has no evidence, and what happens next is just his own speculation and judgment.
Produce evidence?
Can he still get Huo Qubing to tell him personally that Chen Changfeng agreed to help him kill the second prince?
The emperor's face darkened, he knew that the third prince would not say such things without reason.
There is just no evidence now.
Just like when Qisha assassinated Chen Changfeng, there was no evidence to directly prove that it was the second and third princes who did it.
It's the same today.
It was impossible for the emperor to punish Chen Changfeng just because of a few words from the third prince.
But the emperor was more worried that this would really happen.
The emperor absolutely did not want to see what happened to the Tang Empire happen to his Ming Empire.
"Prince, what I want to say is that no matter what, you are all brothers and you must respect and love each other."
"You are leading the army on this expedition. There is currently no one in charge of the Household Department, so I will let the third child handle it and be responsible for the logistics of this expedition."
"I hope you can work together this time to protect our Ming Dynasty." The emperor said, expressionless.
Chen Changfeng was slightly stunned, and his expression suddenly darkened.
He knew that the emperor's order was actually a warning to himself.
Chen Changfeng sneered in his heart. The second and third princes hired assassins to assassinate him before, but the emperor had such an attitude.
And now...
"I understand." After Chen Changfeng said this, he turned around and left without saluting the emperor.
"Father, look at Sixth Brother, how rude he is!" The third prince grinned, still fighting for the emperor's injustice.
The emperor didn't say anything. He knew that his treatment of Chen Changfeng today was a bit unfair.
But Chen Changfeng is getting stronger and stronger now. If he continues like this, something might really happen to the second and third princes.
The emperor didn't want to see their brothers fighting each other, so he had no choice but to act like this.
The third prince left, and the emperor sat silently on the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, isn't it inappropriate to let the third prince temporarily take charge of the household department? The prince has just offended the third prince, and now..." Liu Xi said softly.
Halfway through, I didn’t dare to say anything further.
The emperor was silent, he knew what Liu Xi meant.
Chen Changfeng had just beaten the third prince and was about to lead the army on the expedition. He also asked the third prince to temporarily take charge of the household department and be in charge of all logistics and military supplies.
If the third prince had his mind set on deliberately delaying military funding...
"No, he knows what to do when it comes to big matters of right and wrong." The emperor said slowly.
…
News soon came from Huo Qubing that they were ready.
Ready to go at any time.
Liu Shuwen sent a memorial, saying that support should be provided sooner rather than later.
Ten days later, the emperor ordered that the army set out at noon tomorrow. When the news came out, many people had smiles on their faces.
The army will set off tomorrow, which means that Chen Changfeng will leave the capital.
Without Chen Changfeng, wouldn't the capital be their territory?
They can do whatever they want.
It would be better if Chen Changfeng died on the battlefield.
Many people went directly to the restaurant to celebrate properly.
Yao Xiaoren and others already knew that the emperor had temporarily handed over the household department to the third prince.
Several people lamented in their hearts that the emperor was unfair in handling matters.
When Chen Changfeng was assassinated, he only scolded the second and third princes, but now he is so harsh to Chen Changfeng.
"Your Highness, it's okay. I'm just taking it temporarily. I'm still in the capital and won't let the third prince succeed." Yao Xiaoren comforted Chen Changfeng with a smile.
In fact, Yao Xiaoren himself had no idea.
After all, he is the third prince, and he is just a minister. It would not be good to deal with him directly.
"The Prime Minister is right. Your Highness is away on war. You must pay attention to your safety. Here in the capital, we are taking care of His Highness. As long as His Highness can return safely, it will be meaningless no matter how the emperor protects the third prince." Tang
Akihito also comforted him.
Unlike Yao Xiaoren, while Yao Xiaoren was loyal to Chen Changfeng, he also had to take care of some emperors.
After all, he had been with the emperor for so many years.
But Tang Mingren did not have an emperor in his heart. Everything Tang Mingren did was for Chen Changfeng, the prince's son-in-law.
As long as Chen Changfeng can return safely, it means that the Chu army will return defeated.
With such a peerless achievement, who in the court dares not to be trembling with fear?
If Chen Changfeng can regain the thirteen cities of Nanjun, then...
Although this chance was very small, Tang Mingren still felt that Chen Changfeng had the ability to give it a try.
Moreover, Chen Changfeng promised before all officials...
Chen Changfeng smiled slightly. He didn't expect that when he went to help the emperor with something, he would be stabbed in the back by the emperor.
Chen Changfeng knew the emperor's considerations, but the emperor's double-standard attitude towards the same thing made Chen Changfeng very dissatisfied.
Without any evidence, the emperor could favor the third and second princes without any principle.
Or is it that the emperor saw that he was at the height of his power recently, so he wanted to suppress himself?
"I will be careful outside, and with the protection of the black armored guards, there is no problem with safety."
"In this capital, I have to leave it to you two." Chen Changfeng slightly held his hand.
"What did the prince say?" Yao Xiaoren hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "Prince, don't worry, with us here in the capital, there will definitely be no big problems."
"I will also help His Highness handle matters related to the imperial examination and official recruitment, and try to recruit as many talents as possible."
"I will also take care of the bookstore's business. That boy Tang Lin has sent people to various places to hire novelists. Even if the prince is not in the capital, the bookstore's business will not fail."
"In addition, I am also planning to do some other businesses to make more money. The prince will have many places to use his money in the future." Tang Mingren also said.
I say this so that Chen Changfeng will not have any worries.
The battlefield was changing rapidly, and there was no room for him to worry about matters in the capital.
"Then we can get rid of you two in matters in the capital." Chen Changfeng said with a smile.
Yao Xiuren and Tang Mingren left, and Liu Miaomiao and Yao Tangtang walked over again.
Chen Changfeng hadn't seen the two of them for a long time.
Especially Liu Miaomiao, it seems that he has never seen her again since he killed Liu Haoxue.
"I heard that my opponent this time is Li Fengxian, the unparalleled general of the Chu Empire. Is it particularly dangerous?" Liu Miaomiao looked at Chen Changfeng and asked softly.
