The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

No one expected that Zhao Chen's skills were not even a match for the number one general under Yeon Gaesumun.

If he had known this earlier, Hou Junji would never have given such a bad idea to Yuan Gaisuwen.

Now Li Shimin and Zhao Chen have arrived at the Tang Army camp.

If they don't take measures now, who knows what they will encounter in the future!

Then Zhao Chen is just a teenager, and he is the commander of the three armies of the Tang Dynasty?

Will Xu Shiji agree?

Li Shimin himself is not afraid that Zhao Chen will make a wrong command and directly ruin the Tang army? Yuengai Suwen didn't believe it.

Or it could be said that he didn't want to believe it.

Although he had only fought against Zhao Chen once, Yuengai Suwen had already realized how difficult Zhao Chen was.

Even now, Yeon Gaesumun can't figure out whether Zhao Chen's statement that he didn't care about Niu Jinda's life was true or false.

Commander, my subordinates feel that it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Chen to be appointed commander-in-chief of the Tang Army by Li Shimin.

How old is he? In the words of you Tang people, he is a boy with no hair on his head.

Li Shimin doesn't care about other people's feelings? Huizhen said, refuting Hou Junji's words.

Huizhen compared his feelings with his own. If it were him, no matter how capable he was, he would not make such an outrageous decision as Hou Junji said.

Hou Junji shook his head and looked at Yuengai Suwen. As for Huizhen, he didn't want to pay attention to it.

How old was the commander-in-chief when he took power?

Why do you think that at Zhao Chen's age, he cannot be the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army? Hou Junji and Yuengai Suwen asked.

Yeon Gaesumun frowned.

His situation is different from Zhao Chen's.

His father, Yuan Taizuo, was the chief minister of Goguryeo and held great military and political power in Goguryeo.

Yeon Gae So Moon is the son who inherited his father's legacy.

What is Zhao Chen's origin? He is just a tavern owner.

If it weren’t for good opportunities, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

He Zhao Chen can also compete with us.

Handsome compared to?

The commander-in-chief's father is our Goguryeo Da Du Lu. In your Tang country, that is the position of prime minister. The military and political affairs of Goguryeo are controlled by Da Du Lu alone.

Then Zhao Chen, what qualifications does he have to compare with our commander? Huizhen choked.

He wondered if Hou Junji was deliberately belittling his commander in order to achieve his ulterior secret.

Yeon Gaesumun didn't say anything, which meant that he meant the same thing at the moment.

Hou Junji shook his head and joked, The commander-in-chief doesn't really think that Zhao Chen is just a tavern owner!

Yuan Gaisuwen frowned, he didn't quite understand what Hou Junji meant.

If he is just a shopkeeper, even if he has great abilities, why would the emperor ignore his own prince for his sake?

If Zhao Chen is just a shopkeeper, why would the emperor abandon me as a minister of the dragon?

Zhao Chen is not a shopkeeper.

His true identity is Li Shimin's eldest son who was left behind.

He should be called Li Chengqian! Hou Junji stood in front of Yuan Gaisuwen, leaned into his ear, and said slowly.

Yeon Gaesumun’s expression suddenly changed.

He stared hard at Hou Junji's eyes.

Naturally, he didn't know how much information he had received about Zhao Chen's identity.

But there is no evidence that Zhao Chen and Li Shimin really have any special relationship.

But now these words came out of Hou Junji's mouth.

Yeon Gaesomun wanted to see panic in Yeongaesomun's eyes, but unfortunately, there was nothing.

Zhao Chen is Li Shimin's son?

Then why didn't he admit it or make it public? Yuan Gaisuwen looked at Hou Junji with a gloomy face.

Hou Junji looked at Yuengai Suwen and shook his head with a smile, Because he doesn't

Dare to recognize Zhao Chen, he was worried that Zhao Chen would know that he, Li Shimin, had been lying to him.

Li Shimin is selfish, but this does not affect the importance he attaches to Zhao Chen.

If we don't prepare early, once Li Shimin lets Zhao Chen take over the command of the Tang Army...

…

The emperor said that Niu Jinda suggested to him that Zhao Chen should take over as the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army, which instantly silenced the camp.

Xu Shiji's face looked slightly ugly.

He knew that he had been in charge of commanding the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty for so long, but he had never won a single battle.

It even almost caused the entire frontline army to collapse completely.

But Xu Shiji also worked hard when facing powerful enemies.

He spent day and night thinking about how to defeat the enemy.

Although the emperor only said Niu Jinda's suggestion, Xu Shiji understood that the emperor himself thought so too.

He, Xu Shiji, had been fighting all his life, and now he had to give up his position to a young man who could be his grandson.

This doesn't feel right after all.

Although Zhao Chen is young, he is extremely capable. I am willing to...

Your Majesty, fighting against Goguryeo is definitely not an easy task. Zhao Chen is young and has little experience in many things.

If he is appointed commander-in-chief, he may cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers.

Besides, Military Advisor Xu did nothing wrong. Do you have to think about suddenly replacing Zhao Chen? Cheng Yaojin spoke to the emperor before Xu Shiji agreed.

Xu Shiji looked at Cheng Yaojin and shook his head.

Cheng Chumo frowned when he saw his father blocking Zhao Chen's way to promotion.

He thought that he had a good relationship with Zhao Chen, and his father also had a good relationship with Zhao Chen.

If Zhao Chen hadn't sent Xue Rengui to fight today, his father might not have come back alive.

Why now...

Your Majesty, Zhijie is absolutely right, Zhao Chen

Although he is capable, letting him directly serve as commander-in-chief would be a bit of a stretch.

Besides, Zhao Chen himself would not be willing to do this. Qin Qiong also persuaded the emperor.

They mean nothing else.

The two of them were complaining about Xu Shiji. Xu Shiji had no merit but hard work, and was suddenly replaced by Zhao Chen in command.

Will Xu Shiji continue to lead troops in the future?

A veteran of decades was overruled by the emperor in one fell swoop?

It doesn't matter if you know this, but for those who don't know, why don't you feel panicked by the emperor's sudden move?

The emperor frowned, knowing that saying this would arouse opposition from everyone.

But I didn't expect that even Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, two uncles who had a good relationship with Zhao Chen, would be so opposed.

Commander, please don't rush to say yes. I'm just talking about Niu Jinda's and my suggestions. I have no other meaning. The emperor knew that he could no longer talk about this matter today.

He had no choice but to comfort Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji nodded, looking a little more relaxed.

It's getting dark now. You all should go back and have a rest. By the way, Xue Rengui performed well today, so he sent someone to reward him. The emperor waved his hand and signaled everyone to disperse.

Everyone left and the emperor sighed.

At this moment, he began to worry about Zhao Chen's identity again.

If they repel Yeon Gaesumun, who knows if the Houjun Assembly will expose the lies they have been covering up?

If Zhao Chen knew about it...

Cheng Chumo left the emperor's place and turned around to go to Zhao Chen's camp.

Zhao Chen was eating his meal when he saw Cheng Chumo coming, so he put down his chopsticks.

Li Ruoshuang glared at Cheng Chumo and put away the bowls and chopsticks.

Zhao Da, I came at the wrong time? Cheng Chumo felt Li Ruoshuang's dissatisfaction and whispered to Zhao Chen.

That depends on what you came for. Zhao Chen took a sip of tea and looked at Cheng Chumo.
