Chapter 1168 Who Has Such Ability?

Wei Mansion.

Ever since he learned that Fang Xuanling was seriously injured by Chang Sun Wuji himself, Wei Zheng had completely lost confidence in the current Chang'an court.

Chang'an Academy has also been completely quarantined recently, and no one is allowed to approach it.

This also left Wei Zheng even more clueless.

Today, Wei Zheng was drinking wine at his house again.

When Wei Shuyu came back from the court and saw his father like this, he just stood aside and said nothing.

Wei Zheng took a sip of wine and saw that Wei Shuyu was unhappy, so he couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter? What happened in the court?"

"Father, just now the prince summoned all the officials and said that he wanted to negotiate peace with Goguryeo." Wei Shuyu said in a deep voice, with an ugly look on his face.

Obviously Wei Shuyu was very dissatisfied with Li Tai's decision to negotiate peace with Goguryeo.

When the emperor went to Jiangnan, Li Tai supervised the country. .??.

It was he who suddenly launched a war against Goguryeo for no apparent reason.

As a result, the people of Tang Dynasty were plunged into war.

Now that the emperor is personally conquering Goguryeo, it's okay for Li Tai to act recklessly in Chang'an. At this time, he actually wants to negotiate peace with Yeon Gaesumun?

Isn't this obviously a brain problem?

Wei Shuyu didn't understand very much.

He couldn't figure out what Li Tai's inexplicable operation meant.

"Father, hundreds of officials in the court dare not speak out against it. It is imperative to negotiate peace."

"And the prince also said that any government at all levels in various prefectures and counties who dare to support the Cangzhou frontline war without Chang'an's permission will be severely punished."

"Even so, no one in the court's civil and military circles dared to say a word "no." Wei Shuyu continued to talk about what had just happened in the court meeting.

The court today is different from the past.

In the past, if the emperor had a wrong idea, all the officials would definitely attack him.

But it's different now. It's obviously Li Tai's idea, and no one dares to say anything against it.

Today's court is completely dark.

<

br> “Father, tell me, what should we do now?”

"How wonderful it would be if sir were still here!" Wei Shuyu asked his father Wei Zheng.

Then he sighed quietly to himself again.

Wei Zheng poured a glass of wine for Wei Shuyu and motioned for him to sit down.

"There are many courtiers in the court, including many smart people. They don't say it, not because they don't dare to say it, but because they know that under the current situation, no matter what they say, Li Tai will do it according to his own ideas."

"If you say one more thing, it will only make Li Tai more angry."

"Shu Yu, do you know why Li Tai suddenly wants to negotiate peace with Yuan Gaisu Wen?"

"And why would Yuan Gaisuwen agree to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty?" Wei Zheng took a sip of wine and said slowly.

Wei Shuyu shook his head.

He was also very confused.

"Father, according to the previous battle report, Yeon Gaesumun's army is invincible, and our army is retreating steadily."

"In such a situation, when Yuan Gaisu Wen was taking advantage of the victory to pursue, why did he suddenly agree to negotiate peace?" Wei Shuyu asked.

He has also been troubled by this problem for a long time.

"Why did Yeon Gaesumun negotiate for peace?" A smile appeared on Wei Zheng's face.

"Today I received news from Cangzhou Wei Gong that the gate of Cangzhou City has been completely poured with cement and the city wall."

"Yeongae Suwen attacked the city gate several times, but he didn't move at all."

"Now Yeon Gaesumun is blocked outside the city and cannot advance at all."

"And before that, outside Cangzhou City, more than 20,000 siege troops of Yuengai Suwen's army were completely burned by a fire."

"Shuyu, do you know who came up with the idea?" Wei Zheng and Wei Shuyu asked with a smile.

Wei Shuyu looked a little confused. Who else could have thought of this? It must be

It's Duke Wei himself.

"Since Wei Gong is on the front line, it must be Wei Gong..."

"No!" Before Wei Shuyu could finish speaking, his father shook his head.

"It's not Duke Wei, that's Military Advisor Xu?" Wei Shuyu said, but Wei Zheng shook his head again.

Wei Shuyu was stunned. ??

Among the frontline troops, these two were the only named generals.

Who else could it be besides them?

In other words, who else has such ability?

Their husband Zhao Chen has such ability, but hasn't his husband been assassinated by Li Tai?

"No, it's your husband, Zhao Chen!" Wei Zheng smiled and said Zhao Chen's name to Wei Shuyu.

During these days of being unhappy at home, the only person Wei Zheng was looking forward to was Zhao Chen.

Wei Zhengke was really shocked when he received the battle report sent by Li Jing.

Zhao Chen's previous performance in Chang'an was already incredible to Wei Zheng.

In terms of military affairs, Wei Zheng wouldn't find it strange even if he came close.

But today, Li Jing's battle report actually said that it was Zhao Chen who had the idea to burn more than 20,000 soldiers under Yuan Gaisuwen's command.

Wei Zheng was really shocked.

Killing 20,000 enemy troops with one fire was a huge feat.

Especially when the Tang army was retreating steadily.

"Zhao...Zhao Chen?" Wei Shuyu stood up from the stool when he heard Zhao Chen's name.

His face was full of disbelief.

He clearly received news that Zhao Chen was assassinated on the road by someone sent by Li Tai not long ago, and even his body was not found.

The students in the academy were extremely sad, but no one had any evidence that Li Tai had done it.

There is no way to even take revenge.

But now, his father said that not only did Zhao Chen not die, but he also helped Datang

The soldiers on the front line made a great contribution.

this……

"Father, you mean, sir is still alive?" Wei Shuyu opened his eyes and looked at Wei Zheng with bright eyes.

Wei Zheng nodded, but secretly sighed in his heart.

I'm afraid that if something happened to me and news suddenly came out that I was alive, the kid in front of me wouldn't be so excited!

"Yes, he is still alive. I have received news from Zhao Xiaozi." Wei Zheng continued to nod.

"Okay, okay."

"I knew it, I knew it would be fine, sir."

"How could it be possible that Mr. Sir, with his incredible abilities, could do anything wrong!"

"Father, where is sir now?"

"My child wants to meet him!" Wei Shuyu asked Wei Zheng with excitement on his face.

Wei Zheng shook his head, how could he know where Zhao Chen was now.

"It's not clear yet. It should be soon if it's not enough..."

"Master, there is a man and a woman outside. They said they want to see the master. They are two strangers." Before Wei Zheng could finish his words, he heard the housekeeper running up to him and saying that someone wanted to see him.

Wei Zheng pondered for a moment. There was a man and a woman. He would naturally think that they were Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang.

But my housekeeper has met Zhao Chen and his wife.

Since it was a new face, he must have never seen it before.

Besides, interrogations are very strict everywhere in Chang'an now. If Zhao Chen dares to come to his house after entering the city, isn't he asking for death?

"Father, what are the origins of these two people? Do you want to see father?" Wei Shuyu was a little annoyed when someone interrupted him about Zhao Chen.

I thought about asking the housekeeper to kick the person away.

"The visitor is a guest. It's good to have someone come in and meet him." Wei Zheng shook his head, waved to the butler and said, "Go and invite the two of them to come in and talk in the yard."

"Yes." The butler nodded.

Wei Shuyu stood behind Wei Zheng, looking a little unhappy.
