Chapter 1240 Just Give up on that Idea

"What's wrong?"

"What mistake did His Highness King Jin make?"

"This is the first time the Queen has been so angry!"

"Never seen that before!"

Empress Changsun's scolding shocked all the civil and military officials following her.

In all their years as officials in the court, this was the first time they saw Queen Changsun looking so annoyed.

Even when Li Tai placed Empress Changsun under house arrest, she would not be seen like this.

But just now...

Xiao Li Zhi just wanted to express his inner thoughts to his mother, but he never expected that he would be scolded by her mother.

At that moment, he was trembling all over, lowering his head, tears welling up in his eyes.

Queen Changsun had no intention of letting it go.

She knew very well that now that Li Zhi was young, she could still control him.

If Li Zhi had grown up and had his own ideas, or some sycophants around him would have instigated him.

The court is afraid that there will be another storm.

Moreover, just now Li Zhi actually said that he didn't like Zhao Chen, and it was because Wu Jue said that she liked men like Zhao Chen.

How old was Li Zhicai that he was so obsessed with a woman?

"Li Zhi, the queen mother tells you that you and Zhao Chen are both her children."

"Zhao Chen is your elder brother. An elder brother is like a father. You should respect him."

"Maybe there is something wrong with him, but you can tell your conscience, how did he treat you in Zhao Mansion?"

"Qingque trapped you and your mother in the Zhao Mansion, did Zhao Chen rescue us?"

"If he doesn't care about you, he can leave you and even the queen mother there."

"Zhao Chen is not good at expressing his feelings. If you still hate him, it would be disrespectful to him." Empress Changsun advised.

Xiao Lizhi said nothing.

When he was imprisoned in the Zhao Mansion, he indeed felt extremely scared.

But fortunately, Zhao Chen saved them and left.

At that time, Xiao Li Zhi was still very grateful to Zhao Chen.

But whenever I think of Wu Jue saying he doesn’t like it,

I, on the other hand, like Zhao Chen.

Xiao Li Zhi was furious.

Even though he is so good to Wu Jue, why can't he win her attention?

Xiao Li Zhi couldn't understand.

"In a few days, the queen mother will ask your father to choose a princess for you."

"Wu Jue, just give up on that." Empress Changsun looked at Xiao Li Zhi with a firm tone.

When Xiao Li Zhi heard this, he burst into tears.

…

"The army is back!"

There was a shout from ahead.

Everyone looked over and saw the heavily armed Tang army slowly coming from the official road.

Empress Changsun looked happy and walked down from the phoenix chariot to the front.

Xiao Li Zhi cried and followed behind, and the other princesses also fell behind.

"Xiao Wu, have you seen Zhao Chen?" Li Ruoshuang held her daughter in her arms and stood on tiptoe to look ahead.

But there was no trace of Zhao Chen.

"No, I don't know where that guy went!"

"I didn't know we would be waiting here!" Wu Jue complained.

Logically speaking, Zhao Chen should come back with the emperor.

But they had already seen the emperor, but there was no trace of Zhao Chen.

Fortunately, no bad news came before, otherwise they would still have to worry about whether something happened to Zhao Chen.

"Did Mr. Zhao go back home first? He never likes too lively scenes." Su Wo Qinghe said softly.

Wu Jue glanced at her, then turned to look aside.

She felt that Su Wo Qinghe, a vixen, had no good intentions.

Wu Jue could ignore Su Wo Qinghe, but Li Ruoshuang couldn't do that.

"Miss Qinghe is right, that guy Zhao Chen must have run home again."

"explain

Maybe they were drinking with Lao Huang at this time. "Li Ruoshuang said with a smile.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty, and respectfully welcome Your Majesty as we return to the court."

"Welcome Your Majesty!"

The sound of roaring mountains and tsunami came from the crowd.

Although it was not a great victory, at least the invasion of Goguryeo was repelled and the Tang Dynasty was saved.

Of course, this war was actually initiated by Datang.

But these are no longer important.

Everyone believes that if we fight again next time, we will not be as helpless as this time.

The emperor looked at the people who were bowing to him with a somewhat emotional expression.

This war was his biggest defeat in decades.

But neither the civil and military officials nor the people of Chang'an looked at all with any sign of despair.

"Thank you for your hard work," the emperor shouted.

"Your Majesty has worked hard, the soldiers have worked hard!" everyone shouted in unison.

The emperor waved his hand to signal everyone to stand up.

"This expedition to Goguryeo, to be honest, is the most helpless time I have experienced in these years."

"Compared to when the Turkic troops came to the Wei River, I feel even more helpless."

"The soldiers on the front line fought for their lives, and I saw them die on the battlefield one by one with my own eyes."

"The purpose of returning to the court this time is to recuperate. In the coming year, I will lead my army to conquer Goguryeo again."

"Destroy Goguryeo!"

"Destroy Goguryeo!"

"Destroy Goguryeo!"

Everyone shouted, everyone's eyes were red.

They all know how much Datang sacrificed in this war with Goguryeo.

Even among them, many of their descendants left their lives on the battlefield.

It is the dream of all of them to conquer Goguryeo.

…

"Where has Duke Zhao gone?" Jingzhao Prefecture Yin searched for a long time but could not find any trace of Zhao Chen.

He is also preparing to inform Zhao Chen about the recent case of book theft.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen did not appear again.

This can't help but make Jingzhao Fu Yin a little anxious.

"I didn't see it. I haven't seen Duke Zhao show up all this time." The officer shook his head.

He had been keeping an eye on the people around the emperor.

He saw Li Jing, Xu Shiji, and Cheng Chumo, but there was no trace of Zhao Chen.

"Master Fu Yin, let's go to Duke Zhao's mansion and have a look."

"Just now, my subordinates saw that all the wives of Duke Zhao have gone back." The Yamen servant and the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture persuaded.

Jingzhao Fuyin frowned.

He wanted to ask where Zhao Chen had gone.

But among the people in front of him, which one was he qualified to ask?

"I can't leave here for the time being. You go back to Chang'an and go to the Zhao Mansion to see if Duke Zhao is there."

"If you are here, tell Duke Zhao about the theft of a large number of books." Jingzhao Prefecture Yin and the Yamen servant said.

The emperor has not left, how dare he, the governor of Jingzhao, leave?

Of course, no one else will care about a small government official.

"Yes!" The officer nodded and left.

Watching the Yamen servant leave, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin still showed a trace of worry in his eyes.

If those thieves had already fled Chang'an City before Zhao Chen knew about it.

Will Zhao Chen put the blame on him then?

After all, it was he, the governor of Jingzhao, who did not take responsibility and did not dare to trouble the Japanese envoys.

Moreover, if Zhao Chen blames himself.

There was nothing he could do yet.

The best outcome is to lose his position as Jingzhao Prefect.

If Zhao Chen gets a little more angry, then...

Thinking of this, goosebumps appeared on Jingzhao Fuyin's back.

At this moment, he even prayed that those thieves would not leave Chang'an so soon.

At least, we have to wait until they inform Zhao Chen about this.
