The emperor looked at Chen Changfeng from a distance, with no expression on his face.
"What do you want to say about the black armored guards?" the emperor said calmly.
Although the Black Armored Guards were said to be under the command of Chen Changfeng, any military deployment orders in the Ming Empire had to go through the hands of his emperor.
Chen Qingzhi said that he was the one who mobilized the black armored guards, so the emperor put him in prison.
The second and third princes were asked to interrogate Chen Qingzhi not only because Chen Qingzhi took the blame on himself, but also because Concubine Duan said that the princes should fight.
What's more, the emperor wanted to pass this matter and beat Chen Changfeng.
During the battle on the border of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Changfeng's reputation in the army was unparalleled. When his troops returned to the court, the people of the Ming Dynasty lined the streets to welcome him.
The emperor could welcome Chen Changfeng's triumph with great enthusiasm, but the people's respect for Chen Changfeng made the emperor feel a bit of crisis.
The people of the Ming Empire only need to respect the emperor.
"I went to Yizhou because I received news that Liu Miaomiao, the daughter of military advisor Liu Shuwen, was asking for help. He learned that she was in danger in Yizhou, but there was no one around me at the time, so I mobilized some black armor guards to go..."
"So, you acknowledge the transfer of the black armored guards?" The emperor narrowed his eyes.
He didn't care much about Yizhou's affairs, and he didn't care about Liu Shuwen's daughter either.
Because these things have little to do with him.
But Chen Changfeng mobilized the black armored guards, which was already an act of trespass.
Liu Xi stood aside and secretly winked at Chen Changfeng, hoping that Chen Changfeng would not admit that he was the one who mobilized the black armored guards.
Liu Xi was thinking that Chen Qingzhi had taken all the responsibilities on himself, and Chen Changfeng only needed to bite him to death. This matter had nothing to do with him. Even if the emperor was angry again, he could not do anything to the prince Chen Changfeng.
Nowadays, it is true to protect yourself.
"Your Majesty, it is taboo to mobilize the black-armored guards privately. How could His Highness the Crown Prince do such a thing? It must be Chen Qingzhi..." Liu Xizheng was thinking of covering up for Chen Changfeng, and reminded Chen Changfeng by the way.
But before he finished speaking, the emperor's cold gaze fell on Liu Xi's face.
Liu Xi was shocked, and he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
The emperor's eyes fell on Chen Changfeng again, and he couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy.
Chen Changfeng's face turned gloomy. When he went to Yizhou, he just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to dig up the second prince's foundation in Yizhou.
Chen Changfeng also expected that the emperor would notice and be angry when he mobilized the black armored guards, but Chen Changfeng also did not expect that the emperor would let the second and third princes interrogate the case.
As a result, Chen Qingzhi was implicated.
What Chen Changfeng was thinking at the time was that even if the emperor settled the accounts later, he would have to trouble him again after he came back.
And he, Chen Changfeng, had made great contributions on the front line. Even if the black armored guards were mobilized and the emperor was angry, he would not depose himself as the crown prince because of this incident.
But Chen Qingzhi's initiative to take the blame disrupted Chen Changfeng's plan.
Chen Changfeng doesn't even know what Chen Qingzhi's situation is now, but due to circumstances and reasons, he should accept the matter.
"Father, the transfer of the black armored guards was done by my son." Chen Changfeng said slowly.
Liu Xi, who was standing next to the emperor, sighed softly.
Secretly, Chen Changfeng should not confess to the emperor about the transfer of the Black Armored Guards.
Chen Qingzhi has already confessed, and it is completely unwise for Chen Changfeng to get himself involved again.
Sure enough, the emperor's face turned cold instantly.
The emperor stood up, supported the table in front of him with both hands, and stared at Chen Changfeng: "I will give you another chance to find out whether you did the transfer of the black armored guards."
"You have to know that mobilizing the army without permission will be punished!"
Liu Xi no longer dared to speak at this moment.
But his eyes looked at Chen Changfeng with great worry.
The emperor has already reminded him so clearly that if the prince Chen Changfeng still does not know what to do, the emperor is afraid that he will really deal with him.
"How could Chen Qingzhi, a mere general, dare to disobey his ministers' orders?" Chen Changfeng said again.
It’s over!
Hearing Chen Changfeng say these words, Liu Xi's heart skipped a beat.
The emperor even took a step back. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince in front of him denies that the transfer of the Black Armored Guards is related to him, the emperor will not do anything.
But it just so happens...
The emperor's eyes were fixed on Chen Changfeng's face, and his fists were clenched for ten breaths. There was no movement in the entire upper study.
Liu Xi felt that his breathing had stopped.
I was thinking that if the emperor attacked the prince directly later, I should stop him.
"Hahaha!" The laughter suddenly spread throughout the upper study room.
Liu Xi was stunned at that time.
Looking at the emperor with confused eyes, and then at Chen Changfeng, he couldn't understand why the emperor was still laughing at this time.
Could it be that there was something wrong with his stimulated brain? Liu Xi looked at the emperor with concern, but he didn't see anything wrong with the emperor.
"Good boy, your master and servant are really interesting. He was the one who arranged for Chen Qingzhi to kill the black armored guard in front of me."
"Now you are saying that you did it yourself."
"There are many people vying for credit, but I haven't seen many people vying for blame." The emperor sat down slowly, with a faint smile on his face.
The emperor, who seemed to be on the verge of rage just now, never appeared.
"Father, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Qingzhi. If my father wants to punish me, I can just punish my son and minister." Chen Changfeng was also surprised.
He was already prepared for the emperor's change of face.
But I didn't expect that the emperor would change his tone here.
Chen Changfeng couldn't figure it out for a while, but the most important thing now was to get the emperor to pardon Chen Qingzhi.
"Chen Qingzhi is not guilty, but I just heard from Liu Xi that Huo Qubing led an army to attack Luo Sheng's stronghold outside the city."
"Boy, do you think too little of me, the emperor?"
"How can I rest assured that Huo Qubing's 50,000 troops act like this in the future?" The emperor's eyes became cold again.
Although the emperor was angry at Chen Changfeng for secretly mobilizing the black armored guards, in the final analysis, Chen Changfeng did not bring him too much trouble as the emperor.
And based on Chen Changfeng's previous achievements, the emperor could choose to let him go.
Furthermore, the emperor himself really valued Chen Changfeng, the prince.
He also hoped that Chen Changfeng could continue to shine for the Ming Empire.
But Huo Qubing's 50,000 troops were absolutely intolerable to the emperor.
Fifty thousand veterans are stationed outside Vientiane City, which is less than a hundred miles away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If something happens in the future, what will he, the emperor, do?
Chen Changfeng also understood at this moment that the emperor was trying to kill Huo Qubing's 50,000 veterans.
In the battle with the Chu Empire, although the Ming Empire won a great victory, it also lost a lot of soldiers. If it can absorb these 50,000 veterans, it will be much better than recruiting 50,000 new soldiers.
But Chen Changfeng would not hand over these 50,000 troops to the emperor.
This is Chen Changfeng's power. No one can try to take away these 50,000 people.
But now the emperor knew about Huo Qubing leading the army to rescue Chen Qingzhi. If he did not satisfy the emperor, the emperor would definitely not give up.
"Father, I recently went to Yizhou and got a new brewing method. The wine produced has a mellow taste and is sought after by people all over the world. I am willing to hand over this brewing method to my father." Chen Changfeng suddenly said with his hand.
.
Of course the emperor understood what Chen Changfeng meant.
Not only in the Ming Empire, but also in all countries in the world, whether officials or common people, rich or poor, wine is a best-seller.
But wine is made in all countries. Is the new wine making method Chen Changfeng obtained as powerful as he said?
