Chapter 1425: I Am in Danger and Take Orders
The Taiji Hall became quiet again, and all the officials were thinking about who would be suitable to preside over the court at the moment.
But no one took the initiative to speak.
Presiding over the court is a very sensitive matter. If it is done well, it will be okay. If something goes wrong, the emperor will definitely find someone to settle the score when he comes back in the future.
The silence of Tai Chi Hall was a little scary.
"Everyone, please let me say something." Li Xiaogong suddenly said to the officials.
All the officials looked over, waiting for Li Xiaogong's next words.
"The King of Han, Zhao Chen, is the most valued person by His Majesty the Emperor. His previous performance in the court has been noticed by everyone."
"People with great talents will definitely be able to solve the current problems for the Tang Dynasty."
"How about we go to Chang'an Military Academy now and invite the King of Han to come out to preside over the court?" Li Xiaogong said to everyone with a smile.
All the officials frowned.
Of course everyone knows what Zhao Chen is capable of.
But Zhao Chen's temper made the officials dare not provoke him even slightly.
Anyone who had provoked Zhao Chen before was either kicked out of the court or lost his life.
If Zhao Chen is allowed to preside over the court, wouldn't the Tai Chi Hall be Zhao Chen's hall of speech?
"Everyone, the King of Han is your majesty's eldest son, and he will most likely be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty in the future."
"Sooner or later you will have to work with the King of Han, so it is better to get familiar with him earlier." Li Xiaogong said again.
Many officials were silent.
Considering the emperor's importance to Zhao Chen and Zhao Chen's own ability, unless Zhao Chen himself doesn't want to be the prince.
Otherwise, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty must be Zhao Chen.
Who among the other princes dares to compete with Zhao Chen?
Just like what Li Xiaogong said, they must either learn to adapt to Zhao Chen or leave Chang'an as soon as possible.
In order to avoid angering Zhao Chen in the future and even endangering his life.
"What King Hejian said is reasonable. His Royal Highness the King of Han is the prince whom Your Majesty trusts the most. If he can preside over the government, it will be fine." Some officials began to agree with Li Xiaogong's suggestion.
Li Xiaogong nodded with a smile on his face.
"Then we will go to Chang'an Military Academy and invite His Highness the King of Han to come out and preside over the government."
"I haven't seen His Highness the King of Han come out for a long time. He won't be at Chang'an Military Academy."
"There are rumors that His Highness the King of Han actually went to Qizhou early in the morning, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
"Whether it's true or not, you'll find out when you go there."
Baiguan has no choice at the moment, they can only pin their hopes on Zhao Chen.
Even if Zhao Chen might be a little ruthless, he might not get along with them.
But who made Zhao Chen the King of Han and the emperor's eldest son?
If they become the prince from now on, they will have to get along with Zhao Chen for a while.
It’s better to be familiar now than to have trouble in the future!
After the officials left the Tai Chi Hall, they went straight to the Chang'an Military Academy outside the city.
…
The first batch of students from Chang'an Military Academy have all been sent to the military in various places.
In addition to several female students who were left to teach in the college, Li Zhi was also sent to Zhechong Mansion in Puzhou near Chang'an for training.
Today is the admission day for the second batch of students at Chang'an Military Academy.
Li Jing and Niu Jinda were both looking at the group of freshmen in front of them on the viewing platform.
Xu Shiji stood in front of the students. Looking at these young and energetic young people, he seemed to have returned to his youthful days when he scolded Fang Qiu.
When Xu Shiji came to the college, Zhao Chen had already gone to Qizhou.
Therefore, Xu Shiji has never been able to express his gratitude to Zhao Chen face to face.
If it weren't for Zhao Chen's help, he would have died of depression amidst deep self-blame.
Now I stay in Chang'an Military Academy to teach, not only for myself, but also to repay Zhao Chen.
Li Xiao
When Gong and Baiguan arrived at Chang'an Military Academy, they happened to encounter the changing of the guard at the academy.
I was wondering if I could get in with so many people, but I didn't expect to be stopped at the door.
A group of adults wearing various official uniforms were stopped at the gate of Chang'an Military Academy, which was quite a sight.
"Everyone, the college has regulations. The college's important land is not allowed to trespass without notification." The students and officials standing guard said.
Officials also dared not speak.
In Zhao Chen's territory, they didn't dare to act recklessly.
Otherwise, with Zhao Chen's temperament, he might let the students from Chang'an Military Academy come out and beat them up.
not worth it!
"We are here to see your dean, and please inform the King of Han." Li Xiaogong said with a smile to the students standing guard.
"Deputy Vice-President Li said that our dean is busy recently, and no matter who comes, he will not be seen."
"Everyone, please go back." The students standing guard said to Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong said nothing, and the other officials behind him looked a little ugly.
They wanted to invite Zhao Chen to come out to preside over the court affairs, but in the end they couldn't even see Zhao Chen in person?
"Then let me ask, have you seen your dean recently?" Li Xiaogong nodded and asked the students standing guard.
"The dean is busy with affairs, so we don't just see him when he wants." The student standing guard replied expressionlessly.
He waved his hand and signaled Li Xiaogong and others to leave.
Li Xiaogong smiled and nodded, he had gotten what he wanted to know.
He turned back to the officials behind him and said, "The King of Han is not at Chang'an Military Academy. Let's all go back."
Baiguan was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
If Zhao Chen were in the academy, he would definitely not be able to show his face even once.
A student at Chang'an Military Academy will never see his dean?
"What should we do now?"
> "There must be someone who takes the lead in the court."
"Yeah, if we don't take the lead, we don't know what we should do!"
"King Hejian, if you don't want me to take charge of the affairs of the court for the time being."
"Yes, King Hejian, you are also the most capable person around His Majesty. His Majesty also believes in you, and we all also trust you."
"Why don't you, King Hejian, take charge of the affairs of the court for the time being?"
Baiguan hit a wall at Chang'an Military Academy. When hesitating, he thought of Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County next to him.
In the minds of all officials, Li Xiaogong has always been the emperor's right-hand man.
When the Tang Dynasty conquered the world, Li Xiaogong also made great efforts.
Although Li Xiaogong seems to be hiding behind the scenes these days and has no performance, his prestige still exists.
All officials also believed in his abilities.
"I, the prince, have been in very poor health recently. I really cannot bear such an important responsibility."
"You should choose someone else." Li Xiaogong shook his head in rejection.
The officials disagreed.
"King of Hejian, except you, we don't believe anyone now."
"Yes, except for you, King of Hejian, no one of us will support you."
"Then Changsun Wuji wants to preside over the court, but we don't believe him. Maybe he is the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang."
"King Hejian, the government is currently unstable, and the murderer is still at large in Chang'an. Please ask King Hejian to come out and stabilize the Tang Dynasty."
All the officials tried to persuade him, their faces full of hope.
Li Xiaogong looked embarrassed and looked at the officials in front of him, as if he didn't know what to do for a moment.
"King of the River..."
"Well, I will take over the task at this critical moment and temporarily preside over the affairs of the court."
"When Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang are found, I will go back and live a free and easy life." Li Xiaogong nodded, still with a look of embarrassment on his face.
