The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

All the officials were surprised.

Based on their understanding of Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen should never give up like this.

Shouldn't Zhao Chen snatch Wu Jue back in front of the emperor?

But now, Zhao Chen actually left directly?

Very strange!

Wu Jue turned around and looked at Zhao Chen's leaving figure, his eyes filled with deep reluctance.

Queen, come with me. Qu Wentai, the king of Gaochang, said to Wu Jue with a smile.

He didn't dare to hold Wu Jue's little hand again.

What Zhao Chen did just now really scared Qu Wentai.

But as long as we leave Chang'an, isn't the beauty in front of us within reach?

Wu Jue ignored Qu Wentai and turned around to walk towards the carriage.

Xiao Wu, Mr. Zhao, please ask me to follow you to Gaochang Country for two years.

Get in the car. Lao Huang looked at Wu Jue and said with a smile.

Wu Jue was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Zhao Chen, but there was no trace of Zhao Chen anymore.

On the Chang'an city wall, Li Ruoshuang held Xiao Ping'an's hand and stood there watching the motorcade go away.

Mom, Aunt Xiaowu is going out to play, why don't you take me with you?

Does Aunt Xiao Wu dislike Ping An? Xiao Ping An asked Li Ruoshuang, pointing to the car in front of her.

Li Ruoshuang didn't say anything. At this moment, she also hoped that Wu Jue was just going out to play.

Will be home soon!

…

When Zhao Chen returned to Zhao Mansion, he saw Li Jing and Hongfu Nu waiting here.

Zhao Chen, are you... okay? Hongfu Nu hesitated a little.

She also knew that Wu Jue's departure had a great impact on Zhao Chen.

But there are many things that Zhao Chen cannot control.

The emperor supported Zhao Chen before, so Zhao Chen could keep his word in the court.

But once the emperor makes his own decision, everything before him will be overturned in an instant.

Pretty good. Zhao Chen smiled and sat down in the yard.

The voice of Wu Jue criticizing him in the past seemed to be ringing in his ears again.

Zhao Chen, what are you going to do in the future? Li Jing asked.

Zhao Chen didn't see any reaction.

Li Jing couldn't help but show worry on his face.

Zhao Chen. Hongfunu patted Zhao Chen gently.

Mother-in-law. Zhao Chen came back to his senses and looked at Hongfu Nu.

What are your plans for the future? Hong Fu female general Li Jing asked and repeated it to Zhao Chen.

Plan? Zhao Chen smiled.

If he were alone, he could force the emperor to rescind the order today.

But there are too many things involved around him now.

Zhao Chen couldn't risk his life for Wu Jue alone.

But after today...

What happened today made me understand that power is most secure only if it is in one's own hands.

Otherwise, what happened today will happen again in the future! Zhao Chen's voice was calm, but both Li Jing and Hongfu Nu could see Zhao Chen's determination.

What do you mean... Li Jing was still not sure about Zhao Chen's next plan.

Join the court! Become an official! Zhao Chen said.

…

Zhao Chen always thought that he had been helping the emperor solve problems.

The emperor would speak for himself on matters that were not important.

But after what happened to Wu Jue, Zhao Chen understood clearly.

The emperor is still the emperor after all.

Normally, he might be in harmony with himself, but at a critical moment, he would still choose to give up on himself.

Wu Jue was just a woman, but she was married to Gaochang because she and Li Zhi were involved.

If Wu Jue had changed his identity, how would such a disaster have happened to him?

like

If he was powerful enough in the court, how could the emperor make such a decision without any scruples?

Li Jing left, and Zhao Chen also left the house immediately.

It has been a long time since Changsun Wuji asked him to help him intercede with the emperor, hoping to return to the court.

It was not that Zhao Chen had forgotten this matter before, but Zhao Chen felt that Changsun Wuji's presence in the court would have a great impact on the future.

But now, Zhao Chen felt that if Changsun Wuji could return to the court, it might be an opportunity for him.

Changsun Mansion was located to the north of West City. After walking for half an hour, Zhao Chen arrived at Zhao Guogong's Mansion.

Although the emperor removed Changsun Wuji from his official position, his title was still there.

Changsun Wuji returned to Chang'an and has been living here ever since.

Changsun Chong had just returned from outside the city when he saw Zhao Chen coming to his home.

Sir. Changsun Chong raised his hand to Zhao Chen.

He respected Zhao Chen, but at this moment he felt a little sympathetic to Zhao Chen.

No one could have imagined that the emperor would treat Zhao Chen like this!

Obviously knowing that Zhao Chen was extremely opposed to marrying a Tang Dynasty woman to another country, the emperor not only did this now.

He even put Wu Jue next to Zhao Chen...

Almost in one day, Zhao Chen got a black nose and a swollen face.

Is Mr. Zhao Guo at your residence? Zhao Chen nodded and asked Changsun Chong.

Here, students go in first. Changsun nodded and extended his hand to invite Zhao Chen in.

Changsun Wuji was very happy when he saw Zhao Chen coming.

He knew what happened today and also understood what Zhao Chen meant by coming to him.

King Han, long time no see. Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

Changsun Chong stood aside and did not leave.

I can help with what Duke Zhao Guo told me before.

How does Duke Zhao think about the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? Zhao Chen didn't want to talk to Changsun Wuji more, but asked straight to the point.

Shang Shu?

My uncle Gao Shilian is now the Minister of Personnel, right... After the emperor came back from the front line, he made adjustments to the six ministers.

The official minister is now Gao Shilian.

Changsun Wuji felt that if he became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he would be taking away his uncle's position.

It doesn't sound good if it gets spread out like this.

Old Gao has no interest in officialdom. I will give him a good place to go. Duke Zhao only needs to wait for news at home. Zhao Chen and Changsun Wuji said.

Changsun Wuji nodded and looked at Zhao Chen again.

He knew that Zhao Chen would definitely have requirements for him, so he asked: The King of Han is so helpful, what do you need me to do?

Zhao Chen also likes to deal with smart people.

He nodded and said, I need Duke Zhao to support me unconditionally in the court in the future.

In exchange, Zhao Chen is here, and the eldest grandson's family is here.

how?

What about Zhao Chen's last sentence, but Chang Sun Wuji didn't know how to answer.

To support Zhao Chen unconditionally means to stand completely with Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen is not comparable to other princes in terms of achievements and abilities.

But Changsun Wuji was thinking about today's events, and he was worried that Zhao Chen would target the emperor in the future.

If that's the case, Zhao Chen may not have a chance of winning.

When the time comes, it will be his eldest grandson's family who will be implicated.

But if he doesn't agree to Zhao Chen's conditions, his eldest son, Sun Wuji, will basically be cut off from the court for the rest of his life.

Changsun Wuji was silent.

For a moment I couldn't make up my mind.

Zhao Chen didn't say anything, just waiting for Changsun Wuji's answer.

If Changsun Wuji doesn't agree, Zhao Chen doesn't care. There are many officials in the court who want to climb up the ranks.

If it weren't for Chang Sun Chong's sake, Zhao Chen wouldn't be the first to come to him!
