Chapter Nine hundred and sixteenth son minister boldly ask
"Yes, I just fell down and many people saw it."
"But fortunately, the prince got up by himself, but he limped and seemed a little embarrassed." Li Ke nodded.
Although there was no smile on my face, I was very happy.
At that time, he saw Zhao Chen walking past Li Tai, and then Li Tai fell to the ground.
Li Ke and Li Ke have a bad relationship.
Otherwise, during the Mid-Autumn Festival military parade, Li Ke would not have beaten Li Tai out with one punch.
Now Li Tai is busy dealing with Zhao Chen, so he has no time to make things difficult for Li Ke, otherwise the relationship between Li Tai and Li Ke will be based on Li Tai.
Li Ke is about to be driven out of Chang'an City.
"Zhao Chen was there at that time, right!" the emperor asked Li Ke with a dark face.
"Uh, it was too dark at that time, and I didn't see clearly..."
"Well, if you don't see clearly, you'll see clearly that the green bird fell to the ground!" The emperor grabbed Li Ke's ear.
"Don't calm down, it hurts--" Li Ke grinned.
The emperor let go of Li Ke, but he felt uncomfortable.
Li Chengqian was not his own son, and he was the crown prince for 17 years in vain. The emperor was not so awkward when Zhao Chen dealt with him.
But Li Tai, that is indeed Zhao Chen’s brother. If these two people make such a fuss, they may not have to do anything bigger in the future.
Thinking of what happened when he was young, the emperor felt even more distressed.
"Father, many officials were very dissatisfied with the father's handling of what happened yesterday."
"No matter what, it is true that the gentleman killed two people, although the gentleman was also punished."
"But the attitude of the father makes people seem to think that the father is not at all wrong with what the husband did."
"Father, my son, please dare to ask, sir, is your son?" Li Ke gritted his teeth and asked out his doubts.
Since Concubine Yang talked to him about Zhao Chen's identity, Li Ke has been thinking about this along the way.
But he also knew that just thinking about it yourself would be of no use at all.
The best way is to ask the emperor.
Of course, the emperor must tell himself the truth that he will not know how to do it.
"This matter was not resolved a long time ago? Why do you still ask?" The emperor glanced at Li Ke and said in a deep voice.
"The two officials yesterday were loyalists of the Prince of Lujiang. The position of Prince of Lujiang was deposed. The two of them blamed Zhao Chen completely."
"That's why I've been trying to smash the stone statue outside Lingyan Pavilion."
"But I didn't expect that Zhao Chen was extremely ruthless in attacking them."
"Although Zhao Chen was wrong in the matter yesterday, I also punished him. Besides, I also treated the families of the two officials with preferential treatment."
"This matter is considered a matter. As for the relationship between Zhao Chen and I that you mentioned, it is purely nonsense."
"The officials don't understand, you, the son, don't understand me?" The emperor looked at Li Ke with an expressionless face.
He did not tell Li Ke that one of the two officials yesterday was related to Hou Junji.
If it has something to do with Hou Junji, it must have something to do with the prince.
The emperor was worried that he had told Li Ke too much, and this kid would shake everything off to Zhao Chen.
At that time, Zhao Chen is afraid that he will cause a big stir again.
"After the Lantern Festival, I will go out for the south of the Yangtze River. Then you kid will go with me and don't stay in Chang'an City to cause trouble for me." The emperor said to Li Ke, and then went to find Empress Changsun.
...
When Li Tai arrived at Li Zheng Hall, Zhao Chen had already arrived and was talking to Li Ke.
"Zhao Chen!" Li Tai stared at Zhao Chen fiercely.
When he fell just now, his hands were scratched, and now he only felt a burning pain.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is in trouble?" Zhao Chen looked at Li Tai.
Even if this is Li Zheng Hall, Li Tai and the Emperor and Empress are family, Zhao Chen will not compromise with Li Tai here.
Although Zhao Chen did not find any evidence that Li Tai made trouble for him, Li Tai must have done a lot of effort in what happened yesterday.
With the words Li Tai said to him on the road just now, Zhao Chen had no reason to spoil him.
Just letting him fall is enough to give the emperor and the queen a face.
"You just let me fall, you are bold!" Li Tai looked at Zhao Chen coldly, full of anger.
"Is this bold?"
"The prince's ability to bear in his heart is not very good." Zhao Chen also did not deny that he had caused Li Tai to fall.
Just looking at Li Tai jokingly.
"You!" Li Tai was angry.
As the prince, Zhao Chen dared to let himself fall down hard, and he admitted it indifferently.
I really don't take him as the prince seriously at all.
"Zhao Chen, don't be proud, I won't let you go!" Li Tai suddenly lowered his voice and said coldly to Zhao Chen.
"Hey, you all come here, sit down!" Empress Changsun led a few maids into the outside.
"Then I'll wait!" Zhao Chen smiled, patted Li Tai on the shoulder, and turned to welcome Queen Changsun.
...
"Zhao Chen, where have you been going just now? You are really heartless when you let Ruoshuang come into the palace alone." Empress Changsun complained to Zhao Chen.
"Zhao Chen is busy with something. I am familiar with this palace, so it's okay to come by myself."
"Besides, this is coming to my aunt's place, not to go anywhere else, so how can I be worried about it?" Li Ruoshuang sat next to Empress Changsun and explained to Zhao Chen with a smile.
"You, don't keep talking to him. Be careful that this kid will be happy if you sell it to you." Empress Changsun smiled.
Look at the Emperor.
The emperor understood the meaning, stood up, and said to everyone: "Today is New Year's Eve, and it is the day for family reunion."
"I and the queen think that our family will sit together tonight for a reunion dinner."
"Zhao Chen's mother is the queen's friend, and of course our family is also."
"I hope you juniors can be harmonious."
"Come on, drink the first glass of wine." The emperor said to everyone.
Today's banquet was sitting in separate seats, with Zhao Chen and Li Tai sitting opposite him, and Li Ke sitting at Zhao Chen's head.
Everyone raised their glasses.
Say blessing words to the emperor.
"Sir, my father told me just now that the two officials yesterday were all loyalists of the Prince of Lujiang."
"It's just to retaliate against Li Chengqian for being deposed." Li Ke leaned over his head and said to Zhao Chen.
"Where is Li Tai?"
"I heard that Hou Junji was also very active outside Lingyan Pavilion yesterday." Zhao Chen said.
"Hou Junji has been against his husband all the time, but Li Tai, he said very little yesterday."
"My father didn't say that yesterday's incident had something to do with Li Tai!" Li Ke shook his head.
Anyway, he didn't know if the emperor had concealed some things from him.
But these have nothing to do with him.
Anyway, Zhao Chen wants him to do whatever he wants.
As for Hua Naozi's matter, Zhao Chen will think about it himself.
"Oh, by the way, my father said that after the Lantern Festival, he would set off for Jiangnan and said that he would bring me with him."
"Sir, we can fight side by side again this time." Li Ke's face showed excitement.
The emperor had long said that he would go out for a tour of Jiangnan after the New Year.
But only Zhao Chen was designated.
Li Ke thought that if the emperor didn't bring him with him, it would be boring to stay alone in Chang'an City.
