Chapter 1458 Isn’t There Anything Serious?

Some days have passed since the emperor last said that he wanted to make Zhao Chen the crown prince, but the emperor has not spoken about it again.

All the officials thought that the emperor felt that their opposition was too fierce, so the emperor did not mention the matter again.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A large part of the reason why all the officials were so opposed to Zhao Chen becoming the crown prince was because Zhao Chen had behaved too harshly in the court before.

This will inevitably make Baiguan worry about his future.

Therefore, the officials did not care about offending the emperor and Zhao Chen, but also wanted to deny the emperor's idea of ​​appointing Zhao Chen as the prince now.

In today's Tai Chi Hall, hundreds of officials lined up on both sides, preparing for the matters they wanted to report to the emperor today.

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng stood at the front of the officials, with a look of worry on their faces.

"Have you noticed that the faces of Fang Xiang and Wei Xiang don't look good today?"

"I discovered it. I discovered it when I first came here. I guess something big happened."

"What big thing can happen? Now the court is peaceful and nothing big happens in the world. What big thing can happen?"

"Then tell me, why do both Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang look gloomy?"

Some officials noticed that both Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling looked worried, and they inevitably began to speculate.

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling stood in front, listening to the discussions of the officials behind them, but still did not say a word.

What the officials didn't know was that there was a big show going on today.

When the emperor came, all the officials were already present.

After looking at Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, the emperor sat down on the throne.

"Go to court!" shouted the accompanying eunuch.

All the officials bowed their heads and bowed their hands to the emperor.

"Pingsheng." The emperor waved his hand to signal all officials to refrain from courtesy.

"If you have anything to discuss today, please tell me." The emperor spoke and motioned for everyone to start today's court meeting.

All the officials stood in their original positions,

There was no action.

"Why, there is nothing that needs to be reported to me today!" The emperor frowned. He felt that these officials were too idle.

"Your Majesty, Li Chengyang, the governor of Huainan, has come to report. All the people in Huaiyang area are paying homage to your Majesty, and the people all praise your Majesty's benevolence..."

"Liang Siyi, the governor of Liangzhou, came to report that the territory of Liangzhou is rich in products this year, all thanks to your majesty's kindness..."

"Don't you have anything serious to do?"

"There are officials like you working hard in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. I am very relieved."

"Talk about other things!" Faced with the officials' rainbow farts, the emperor interrupted everyone impatiently.

The emperor never liked reporting good news but not bad news.

What he wanted to know was about any difficulties that needed to be solved in places other than Chang'an.

The officials were silent again, and no one spoke.

The emperor's brows furrowed even more tightly. He didn't believe that there was nothing going on in various places in the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that the country was really peaceful and the people were living and working in peace and contentment?

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial." Wei Zheng said.

The emperor looked at Wei Zheng, and the other officials also looked in the direction of the guard station.

All the officials were now a little afraid to hear Wei Zheng speak.

The last time Wei Zheng spoke, he was talking about making Zhao Chen the crown prince.

As a result, the courtiers dispersed unhappy and offended the emperor.

Now that Wei Zheng had something to report, all the officials could not help but feel worried.

"Your Majesty, now the people in the Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, and the products are abundant. This is a thing that can make everyone happy."

"But we still have one thing that we haven't finished yet." Wei Zheng said, and all the officials frowned when they heard this.

Is there something unfinished?

They don't remember anything unfinished.

Things in Qizhou can only be dealt with after Zhao Chen comes back.

This is what the emperor said himself. .??.

Dali Temple also needs to cooperate with Zhao Chen to complete the disposal of Qizhou officials.

"Prime Minister Wei, are there any matters that we have not dealt with? Now that the people of the Tang Dynasty are living and working in peace and contentment, it seems that nothing has happened?" An official asked Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng ignored the official who asked him questions and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the battle with Goguryeo last year?" Wei Zheng suddenly spoke, and with one sentence, the entire court fell completely silent.

Who can forget the battle with Goguryeo last year?

Although there are Li Tai and Kong Yingda doing whatever they want behind the scenes.

But everyone knows that the war against Goguryeo actually ended with the defeat of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty lost tens of thousands of troops, as well as Qin Qiong and other founding generals.

Even the emperor himself almost got into trouble during that war.

Although in the end the Tang Dynasty defeated the Goguryeo army of Yeon Gaesumun.

But Goguryeo was not really damaged.

If there had not been unrest in Goguryeo, or Yeon Gaesomun was eager to stabilize his rear, the Goguryeo army would not have retreated.

Even Shacheng, the gateway to Goguryeo, was assigned to the Tang Dynasty.

Now that Wei Zheng mentioned this matter again, it had already opened the scars in everyone's hearts.

All the officials in the court looked unhappy.

That battle was a shame for the entire Tang Dynasty.

Now that Wei Zheng mentioned that matter again, all the officials had no idea what he meant.

"A battle with Goguryeo is a shame in my life. Of course I will not

Will forget. "The emperor's brows were lowered and his eyes were sharp.

"Since His Majesty has not forgotten, should we discuss dealing with Goguryeo?"

"Yuan Gaisuwen led a large army to capture our border with the Tang Dynasty and humiliated the people of the Tang Dynasty. If you don't retaliate against me, how will the officials of the Tang Dynasty deal with themselves?"

"The frontier troops of the Tang Dynasty are training day and night, in order to one day kill Goguryeo and avenge the soldiers and people who died in the Tang Dynasty!" Wei Zheng spoke, and his voice echoed throughout the Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, I feel that what Xiang Wei said is right. Our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty cannot sacrifice Yuan Gaisuwen and those bastards under him in vain. They must pay the price."

"Since the people of Goguryeo are willing to help the tiger, how can we, the Tang Dynasty, tolerate it? When our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty invade Goguryeo, they will be punished severely." Cheng Yaojin said, with a fierce look on his face.

Qin Qiong's death was bad news that kept him awake at night for Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin also thought about revenge for Qin Qiong all the time.

Revenge for those Tang soldiers who died on the border.

Now that Wei Zheng mentioned this matter again, Cheng Yaojin was of course the first general to stand up and want to start a war against Goguryeo.

Only by starting a war with Gao Gaoli could they avenge Qin Qiong.

Qin Huaiyu trained hard on the border, just hoping that one day he could avenge his father.

If the court has never dared to go to war with Gao Gaoli, then when can Qin Huaiyu avenge his father?

"Your Majesty, I also think that we should start a war against Goguryeo!" Li Jing came out and said to the emperor.

"Yeon Gaesumun is determined to be a traitor. Once he stabilizes the Goguryeo Dynasty, he will definitely invade the Tang Dynasty again."

"At this moment, we must strike first, otherwise we will fall into passivity and be controlled everywhere."

"There is also Hou Junji, the former general of the Tang Dynasty. This person is now a general under Yuan Gaisuwen. We, the Tang Dynasty, will kill these traitors as soon as possible!"
