Chapter 1477 This Prince Will Do Whatever He Likes
The emperor returned to his seat, looked at the table full of food in front of him, and couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks and take two bites.
Then he looked at Zhao Chen and said, "Just ask!"
Li Ruoshuang also felt strange.
What questions could Zhao Chen have to ask the emperor?
Even used this as an excuse.
Zhao Chen put down his chopsticks, and then looked at the emperor.
"It's still the same question as before. Before I come back, are you hiding something from me?"
"Uncle Niu and Uncle Cheng, when it comes to matters on the front line, they always seem to be hesitant to speak."
"Is it something related to the front line?"
Zhao Chen was actually very curious about this matter.
The way Niu Jinda and Cheng Yaojin looked before, it was obvious that the front line was hiding something from him.
But they didn't say anything, so the emperor must have given a hush order behind the scenes.
If you don't know the answer to this matter from the emperor, there is no way to know it from elsewhere.
A trace of hesitation flashed across the emperor's face.
He was not going to tell Zhao Chen about the bet he had made with Baiguan.
But if he doesn't tell the truth to Zhao Chen now, there will be no way to solve Li Xiaogong's matter.
The emperor was a little hesitant. He told Zhao Chen the truth. This guy would go against him.
"Your Majesty, what is really going on?"
"Zhao Chen has done so much for Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty shouldn't have anything to hide from him." Li Ruoshuang noticed something was wrong in the emperor's expression, and felt somewhat unhappy.
Zhao Chen almost died for the emperor and the Tang Dynasty, but the emperor actually wanted to hide something from him.
This is obviously not what it should be.
The emperor was hesitating when he suddenly heard Li Ruoshuang's words and felt even more uncomfortable.
He knew he couldn't help Zhao Chen.
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit quiet, and no one took the initiative to speak.
Only Ping An was carefully nibbling the candied haws.
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth." After seeing each other for a long time, the emperor nodded fiercely and said to Zhao Chen.
"Actually, after returning from Qizhou this time, I plan to make you the crown prince." The emperor said.
When Li Ruoshuang heard this, excitement suddenly appeared on her face.
She eagerly hoped that Zhao Chen would become the prince one day.
But there has been no news.
"But after hundreds of officials heard about this, almost all civil officials spoke out against it."
"They think you are violent and often attack officials in Tai Chi Hall."
"This leads to the fact that as soon as I mention you as the crown prince, all the officials will propose to resign."
"Why are they like this? If it weren't for Zhao Chen, how could they be so relaxed now?"
"Zhao Chen took action in the Tai Chi Hall not because of their provocation, but because they were at fault in the first place. How can we blame Zhao Chen?" Li Ruoshuang became furious when she heard the emperor's words.
He couldn't help but defend Zhao Chen.
On the contrary, Zhao Chen smiled slightly and did not express his opinion.
It is normal for officials to fear and oppose themselves.
Zhao Chen was curious about what would be the next gambling date between the emperor and the officials?
"But I will establish a prince sooner or later, and boy Chen, you are the best candidate in my heart, so I made a bet with all the officials?"
"As long as you, Mr. Chen, can capture Yuengai Suwen, all the officials will agree that I will make you the crown prince."
"Take Yuengai Suwen?" Li Ruoshuang was surprised.
Yeon Gae So Moon is not a reckless man.
In the previous battle with Goguryeo, Yeon Gaesumun did not behave like an ordinary person.
It is not a simple matter to catch him.
It is estimated that the entire Gogoryeo must be completely wiped out before Yeon Gaesumun can truly be captured.
Li Ruoshuang, who was full of excitement just now, now has no hope at all.
If we talk about defeating Goguryeo or defeating Yeon Gaesumun.
For Zhao Chen, that shouldn't be difficult.
But taking down Yeon Gaesumun is probably not that simple.
This bet was too difficult for Zhao Chen.
Doesn't that also mean that Zhao Chen will never be established as a prince in this life?
Thinking of this, Li Ruoshuang was disappointed.
Just minding your own business and eating.
"I asked you why you looked so happy when you heard that I was going to the front line." Zhao Chen glanced at the emperor and then said lightly.
It seemed that the bet the emperor mentioned had no impact on Zhao Chen.
Only then did Zhao Chen realize that on the day he had just returned to Chang'an, when the emperor heard that he was going to the front line, there was a hint of joy on his face.
The emotional reason is actually here.
"Aren't you afraid that I wouldn't go to the front line because of the bet you made with the officials?" Zhao Chen and the emperor asked back.
"I know you very well, you will definitely go." The emperor smiled slightly, looking confident.
The emperor knew Zhao Chen well.
Qin Huaiyu has been preparing for war on the front line, so that one day he can kill Huizhen and avenge his father Qin Qiong.
The relationship between Zhao Chen and Qin Huaiyu is irreversible.
I will definitely not leave this matter alone.
When the time is right, he will definitely go to the front line to have another battle with Gogoryeo.
This is the emperor's confidence.
Zhao Chen just nodded. He always remembered Qin Qiong's affairs.
In the heart.
Qin Huaiyu has been on the front line for so long, but his letter did not mention how difficult it was on the front line.
But Zhao Chen understood that he was undergoing tremendous hardship every day.
If Qin Qiong is not avenged as soon as possible, Qin Huaiyu doesn't know when he will be able to recover.
"How is it? Now that you know this, do you have any other thoughts?" The emperor asked Zhao Chen with a smile.
He originally wanted to keep this matter a secret.
Let's talk to him again on the day when Zhao Chen leads his troops to the expedition.
But today there is no big problem.
Let Zhao Chen make preparations in advance so that he can plan this matter better.
"I don't have any ideas, I just feel that the money is not worth it." Zhao Chen said slowly.
If he had known that what everyone was hiding would turn out like this, Zhao Chen would not have asked the emperor anything.
It's better now, I've lost a lot of money in vain.
Let this guy Lao Litou get such a big advantage.
"Haha, that's what you want to ask yourself. A manly man once said what he said, it's hard to catch up with him. Send the money to the palace tomorrow."
"It's getting late, I'm leaving." The emperor drank a glass of wine, then put down the glass with satisfaction, said hello to Ping An, and slowly walked out of the Zhao Mansion hall with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Chen sat where he was, and Li Ruoshuang looked at him.
"Is this bet between Your Majesty and the officials too difficult?" Li Ruoshuang was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter whether it's difficult or not. I went to the front line to avenge Qin San."
"I don't care about the position of prince at all."
"Don't you see? I am just a Hanwang now, and this guy Old Li Tou orders me around like this."
"If I become the prince from now on, will I still have to work for him every day?"
"This prince, you can do whatever you like, but I won't do it anyway!"
