Chapter 1121 If Something Cannot Be Done
Hearing Li Jing say that Zhao Chen should have reached the front line by now, Hongfu Nu was slightly startled.
She had sent soldiers of the Xuanjia Army to intercept the transport team before, but nothing was found.
If Zhao Chen had been following the transport team to the front line before, he shouldn't have seen any movement from the Xuanjia Army.
Besides, if his daughter is also in the transport team with Zhao Chen, it should be easy for a woman to be spotted.
Why is there no news at all?
"This is just my guess. You have been searching here for so long and still haven't found Zhao Chen. Obviously he is not here."
"Now the front line is in danger. Let's not waste time here. If something happens on the front line, the entire Tang Dynasty will be in danger."
"Bringing the Xuanjia Army to the front line can always solve urgent needs." Li Jing said to Hongfu Nu.
Hong Fu Nu nodded and looked at Li Jing again, looking like he was about to speak but hesitated.
"What?" Li Jing looked at his wife strangely.
"Didn't you hear any news on the way?" Hong Funu and Li Jing asked.
"News? What news?" Li Jing didn't understand.
He was always on the road and rarely rested in towns. Even when he was in an inn, he always asked the waiter to deliver the food to his room.
After a night's rest, he hit the road again at dawn the next day.
He really hadn't heard anything about the news.
"There is news that His Majesty was hit by a poisonous arrow on the front line and his life is in danger. Now the army is retreating to Cangzhou..."
"Your Majesty is injured?"
"Why is it so good..." The expression on Li Jing's face suddenly changed.
It was already a big deal for the emperor to be injured. If it happened because of this, his life would be even worse.
Then their entire Tang Dynasty would become a joke.
"There is news that it was Hou Junji who told His Majesty that Li Tai had secretly murdered Zhao Chen, which caused His Majesty's mood swings to lose control, and that's why he was attacked by surprise."
listen
Li Jing didn't say anything to the red-faced girl.
When something happened to Zhao Chen, he felt that the matter was not simple. Although there was no evidence at the time that Zhao Chen was assassinated and the murderer was Li Tai.
But that's what he always felt in his heart.
The only thing that Li Jing didn't expect was that the emperor was shot with a poisonous arrow because of this incident, and his life was in danger.
All Li Jing could think about at this moment was that the army was in danger and the entire Tang Dynasty was in danger.
"Pack up your gear and head to Cangzhou immediately." Li Jing said to Hongfu Nu and got on the horse again.
…
The next morning, Li Tai came to Tai Chi Hall.
Today he will be here, and all the officials will respect him.
In this way, even if the emperor sends some imperial edict from outside, it will not threaten Li Tai.
"Prime Minister, the situation looks a bit bad today." Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, glanced at the imperial guards around him and his expression changed slightly.
The imperial army protects the safety of the imperial city, and everyone has their own fixed position.
These ministers have seen it a lot, and they all have an impression.
But at this moment, Duan Lun discovered that these forbidden troops had all changed their names, and all the new faces made Duan Lun feel a little uncomfortable.
Fang Xuanling's face darkened slightly.
Last night Fang Yizhi came to report to him that as long as Fang Yizhi went out, someone would be following him and watching him.
Fang Xuanling knew that the person monitoring him was sent by Li Tai.
Nowadays, Chang'an is in a turbulent situation, and at this moment, even the Imperial Army has been replaced. Fang Xuanling can feel that something big seems to have happened today.
"Duan Shangshu, if something cannot be done later, remember to put your own safety first." Fang Xuanling and Duan Lun instructed.
Duan Lun was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the Imperial Guards on both sides, seeming to understand something.
When the two of them entered the palace, they saw that many officials had already arrived.
Li Tai stood in front with a smile on his face, while Kong Yingda had his hands behind his back and a smile that could be seen from a distance on his face.
Seeing Fang Xuanling walking into the hall, Kong Yingda looked at Li Tai, said something to Li Tai, and then walked towards Fang Xuanling.
"Prime Minister, you are finally here. I thought you wouldn't come today." Kong Yingda said to Fang Xuanling with a smile.
Fang Xuanling smiled and did not answer Kong Yingda, but walked straight to his seat and stood still.
Kong Yingda was ignored by Fang Xuanling. He just smiled bitterly, but his hands in his sleeves were tightly kneaded.
The officials looked at Kong Yingda with some disdain in their eyes.
Everyone knew that Kong Yingda clung to Prince Li Tai, so he was able to get the position of Minister Zuopushe.
Otherwise, there are so many veterans in the court, no matter in terms of ability or qualifications, Kong Yingda would never be able to get his turn.
Kong Yingda naturally knew what Baiguan was thinking.
But it doesn't matter, after today, he, Kong Yingda, will be the only celebrity around the prince.
These people who look down on themselves will all be trampled under their feet.
"Your Highness, the officials have arrived and the court meeting can begin." Kong Yingda said to Li Tai with a smile on his face.
Li Tai nodded and waved his hand, and the imperial guards in the palace closed the gate of Tai Chi Palace.
The sound of a heavy door closing shocked all the officials.
"Why did the prince close the door of the palace? The Taiji Palace is the place where all officials discuss matters. It is fair and aboveboard. Why did he close the door of the palace?" An official immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
Since the Tang Dynasty made Chang'an the capital, nothing like this has ever happened.
The gates of Taiji Hall are closed. Are they plotting something that cannot be seen in person?
"That's right, Shilang Zhang is right. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a strange behavior."<

"Prince, please ask someone to open the door of the main hall." Someone else stood up and spoke in a rather fierce tone.
Li Tai was worried that he could not find anyone to scare the monkeys.
Seeing someone jumping out to oppose his order, a hint of joking appeared on his face.
With a wave of his hand, the imperial guards dragged the two officials who had just stood up to the center of the hall with an indifferent expression.
"Are you questioning my order?" Li Tai walked up to the two officials and said calmly.
"Prince, this is the Tai Chi Palace, what do you want to do!" The official who was pinned to the ground struggled desperately, his face full of anger.
Who would have thought that Li Tai would dare to push officials like them to the ground in Tai Chi Hall.
"What do you want to do?" Li Tai sneered and said, "If you dare to question my decision, I will naturally deal with you."
"Come on, kill!"
After Li Tai finished speaking, he waved to the Imperial Guards on the side.
"No, Your Highness!" Fang Xuanling shouted, but he saw the forbidden soldier raised his knife and dropped it, and two big heads rolled to the ground.
The blood splattered on the ground.
Fang Xuanling felt a chill in her heart. She looked at the corpse on the ground with anger in her eyes.
Duan Lun supported him behind him and did not look at the body on the ground.
The Tai Chi Hall instantly became quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.
All the officials looked frightened.
In all these years, there has never been an official killed in Taiji Hall.
Even Zhao Chen, who has been the most arrogant in recent years, only fights with officials in Tai Chi Hall.
But no matter what, no lives will be caused here.
But recently, at this very moment, two officials died in Tai Chi Hall.
"Why, this makes you feel scared. When Zhao Chen killed two people outside Lingyan Pavilion, I didn't see you like this." Li Tai had a smile on his face.
