The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

"Ah sneeze——"

In the Li Zheng Palace, Queen Changsun was changing clothes for the emperor.

The emperor suddenly sneezed, which startled Empress Changsun.

"But you caught a cold during the banquet last night?"

"My concubine asked someone to make a bowl of ginger soup for Your Majesty to relieve your fever!" Queen Changsun said.

"No, I'm not catching a cold. It's probably because that guy is talking about me behind my back!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said casually. ??

"Zhao Chen just got married yesterday. His Majesty sent someone to summon him to court early this morning. Can you stop thinking about you?"

"Even my concubine feels that Your Majesty is not too kind!" Empress Changsun said with a smile.

She was still waiting for Li Ruoshuang to give birth to a big fat boy for her.

From now on, I can live a long life, right?

But the day after Cai Cai got married, the emperor sent someone to summon Zhao Chen to court.

How can this make people thunder and lightning?

It would be weird not to talk about him!

"I'm calling him to court today because I have something important to entrust to him."

"You also know that Lingyan Pavilion has not been built yet, but it is a big event for me, Datang."

"The deceased and living civil servants and military generals all hope that their names can appear in Lingyan Pavilion."

"So, who is responsible for this matter is extremely important!" Li Shimin said slowly.

The construction of Lingyan Pavilion has always been the emperor's wish.

Ever since Du Ruhui passed away, the emperor had this idea.

The Tang Dynasty was conquered by meritorious officials. Letting their names be remembered by future generations is what he, as an emperor, should do.

But entering the list of Lingyan Pavilion is really the top priority.

The person in charge of this list is even more important.

The emperor's first choice was naturally Zhao Chen.

But he also knew that Zhao Chen was too young after all, and many people would not be convinced sitting in this position.

Today's court meeting is to discuss this matter

matter.

"Your Majesty wants that child Zhao Chen to do this?" Queen Changsun naturally understood what the emperor meant.

"That's right. Except for Zhao Chen, who has a good relationship with Wei Zheng and the others, he doesn't have much to do with anyone else."

"Furthermore, this kid is very capable. Although he is lazy and unwilling to do things, if it is the next task, he will complete it well and make people look at him.

"I want him to be responsible for this matter of meritorious evaluation." The emperor nodded.

He also thought about it all night last night.

Zhao Chen is responsible for the evaluation of the list of heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, which can largely avoid the substitution of personal subjective emotions.

There will not be much deviation in the evaluation results.

If it were the Crown Prince or the King of Wei, then everyone around them would definitely want to be on the list.

"Your Majesty's idea is good, but the ministers in the court may not agree so easily." Queen Changsun reminded.

Even she herself didn't think the ministers would accept a young man to judge their past achievements.

What's more, the heroes who are related to their own interests?

"This matter needs to be taken slowly. Let's see the situation today!" Li Shimin said slowly.

Even he himself didn't have much confidence.

…

"I'm afraid today's court meeting will not be simple. His Majesty said yesterday that he would build Lingyan Pavilion. Today's court meeting must be related to this!"

"Heroes see the same thing. I'm afraid today's meeting will have to select the person in charge of merit evaluation."

"This is a big job. Who do you think His Majesty will choose to take charge of this?"

"It's hard to say. Who can guess accurately what His Majesty is thinking, but it should be someone who has nothing to do with this merit evaluation!"

"The Crown Prince and King Wei should be the candidates!"

"The Crown Prince and the King of Wei may not be considered as candidates this time. There are too many heroes gathered around them."

"In my opinion, the candidate in His Majesty's heart is probably Zhao Chen."

"Zhao Chen!?"

Someone screamed in surprise, but there was no more sound.

The person who was talking just now stopped talking now.

It was extremely rare that no one said anything like Zhao Chen was unworthy today.

"Your Majesty has decreed that hundreds of officials should enter the court!" the eunuch's voice sounded.

A group of courtiers slowly entered the palace city.

When Zhao Chen came, there was no one outside. ??

Holding a few buns in his hand, he walked slowly.

"My lord, please hurry up, the court meeting has begun!" The eunuch who went to invite Zhao Chen to come to court was so anxious that Zhao Chen died.

He was sent by the emperor early in the morning to invite Zhao Chen to come to court.

After waiting in Zhao Mansion for a long time, I saw Zhao Chen coming out slowly.

After finally getting out of the door, I thought I could finally go to the Tai Chi Hall to attend court.

Who knew that Zhao Chen also took a detour to another street to get some steamed buns to eat.

Forget it, I just stood there talking to the boy at Wangyou Steamed Bun Shop for a long time.

Another cart of steamed buns was brought over.

What, you, Zhao Chen, still want to sell buns to Tai Chi Hall?

It's bright today and the sun is out.

All the officials have gone to court, and they are still wandering here slowly.

The eunuch wanted to die for Zhao Chen.

He is the emperor who is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry.

"Don't be anxious, why don't you eat some steamed buns? You've worked hard this early in the morning!" Zhao Chen handed the eunuch a paper bag with two steamed buns in it.

too

The supervisor hesitated for a moment and took it.

He didn't dare not accept what the Duke gave him.

"Your Excellency, you are the first person I have ever seen who asked His Majesty to send someone to invite you to the court, but you are still taking your time."

"If it had been anyone else, Qian Niuwei would have come out to get someone!" The eunuch bit the bun and said to Zhao Chen with admiration.

"Hehe, it's not as mysterious as you said. I'm hungry on the road. People always need to eat, right?" Zhao Chen smiled and walked towards the Tai Chi Hall in front.

…

"Where is Zhao Chen?"

"Didn't I ask someone to summon him to come to court?"

In the Taiji Hall, the emperor went to court on an empty stomach. He raised his head and glanced, but there was no trace of Zhao Chen.

"Your Majesty, I went to invite him, but he hasn't arrived yet!" said the eunuch and the emperor who were accompanying him.

"not yet?"

"Do you want me to invite him in person?" Li Shimin was a little annoyed.

He has already sent someone to invite him to court.

He had already delayed going to court today for half an hour.

Even if he had to crawl, it was time for him, Zhao Chen, to crawl outside the Tai Chi Hall.

"Father, Duke Zhao is becoming more and more powerful now. He even dares to disobey his will. From now on..." Li Tai stood up and spoke expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the King of Wei said is extremely reasonable. If Zhao Chen dares not come to court today, he will dare to do something rebellious in the future. This person should be severely punished."

"Your Majesty, please punish Zhao Chen severely. Otherwise, where is the national law and where is the authority of the king?"

As soon as Li Tai opened his mouth, officials from his side naturally followed his words.

As he talked, Zhao Chen even said that he wanted to rebel.

Li Chengqian sat on a chair and winked at Changsun Wuji opposite him.

Changsun Wuji nodded, took a step forward, and held hands with the emperor. Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone shouting from outside.

"Your Majesty, Duke Zhao has an audience!"
