The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

As officials under Li Chengqian in the past, these people never made any news after Li Chengqian left Chang'an after something happened.

But their hearts are full of hatred.

They put all the blame on Zhao Chen, believing that if Zhao Chen had not appeared suddenly, Li Chengqian would not have been deposed as the prince.

Those officials who had entrusted their lives and fortunes to Li Chengqian would not lose everything overnight.

The prince summoned us here this time, and it is probably related to Zhao Chen's matter. An official whispered to others.

I guess that's the case, otherwise the prince would have no need to invite us here.

Are the rumors about Zhao Chen's treason and collaboration with the enemy true or false?

Whether he is true or not, Zhao Chen ruined our future. If we take this opportunity to take revenge this time, it will be a blessing.

Yes, Zhao Chen has committed all kinds of evil and dares to betray the country and collaborate with the enemy. We must not let him go easily.

It seems that I am late. A group of officials were still discussing quietly about what was happening outside, and Li Tai appeared in the night wearing casual clothes.

Your Highness the Crown Prince! Hou Junji stood up and held hands with Li Tai.

The other officials looked hesitant and did not salute Li Tai.

In their hearts, they always felt that Li Chengqian was their prince.

Li Tai is just a thief who stole the crown prince's position.

Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Please sit down! Li Tai glanced at the faces of everyone present.

Even though I was unhappy, I didn't express it.

After coming here for a few days, in addition to asking everyone to follow him to deal with Zhao Chen, Li Tai also wanted to take these people in front of him under his command.

In the court, naturally, the more people you have, the more effective your words will be.

I invite you all to come here today. I have two ideas to share with you. After everyone sat down, Li Tai spoke with a smile.

All the officials looked over.

They knew one of the things. Li Tai must have asked them to help.

Deal with Zhao Chen together.

This is of course no problem.

But they really don't know what the other idea is.

The first thought is of course about Zhao Chen. Li Tai said.

You are all old members of the Emperor's brother. The Emperor was framed by Zhao Chen and was forced to leave Chang'an for Luzhou. I am also in pain.

You must have heard the news about Zhao Chen this time. He is a traitor and collaborator with the enemy.

Such sins are heinous and unforgivable.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, my father will convene hundreds of officials in the Taiji Hall to review the case.

If you are interested, you can help me to capture Zhao Chen. Li Tai continued, his eyes still observing everyone's movements.

Hearing that he said he wanted to capture Zhao Chen, many officials showed surprise on their faces.

But no one said anything.

Li Tai knew very well that these people's confidence in him was not very strong.

In other words, they can't get any benefit from this matter.

And if Zhao Chen is not dealt with, he will definitely be retaliated by Zhao Chen later.

These devilish officials will not do such a thankless job!

The second idea is that I would like to invite you to join me, just like you were under the imperial brother's command.

If one day Japan Palace ascends the throne as emperor, you will all be ministers of merit.

Isn't it more cost-effective than being a low-profile official? Li Tai directly threw out his second thought.

It's just an idea, but actually it's more about recruiting these people under his command.

He might not have been able to speak out before, after all, he and Li Chengqian had a lot of secret rivalries.

But now, Zhao Chen has become an excellent excuse.

Sure enough, when these were mentioned, the expressions of many officials began to change.

Few officials could refuse such an offer.

Being an official, isn't it just to get promoted, make money, and become famous?

Whoever you assist is not an assister. As long as you can achieve success in the future, nothing else matters.

What His Highness the Crown Prince said is that Zhao Chen and we have a deep hatred. If His Highness the Crown Prince wants to deal with Zhao Chen this time, I will definitely be driven by His Highness the Crown Prince. Some officials expressed their feelings.

Then Zhao Chen framed Prince Cheng Qian, causing Prince Cheng Qian to flee far away from home. Such a great hatred must be avenged.

As a human minister, you must share the Lord's worries.

If His Highness the Crown Prince is motivated, all he needs to do is say a word, and all the subordinates will put their best efforts into consideration.

If someone takes the lead, the rest of the officials will naturally have nothing to worry about.

Li Chengqian has passed after all. If they don't choose Li Tai, are they still waiting for the return of King Li Chengqian?

Li Tai was very satisfied with everyone's attitude.

He didn't expect these people to do anything, as long as they agreed with him and dealt with Zhao Chen at the court meeting.

Li Tai wanted the emperor to see that it was the wish of all ministers and officials to deal with Zhao Chen.

In this case, I would like to welcome you all to join us. Li Tai smiled and raised his glass.

…

Compared with the bustle in Hou Junji's house, there were only two or three people in Wei Zheng's house.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong came to Wei Zheng's house overnight.

Wei Zheng was so worried that he had no appetite for dinner at night.

He was really anxious to death.

Even though the charges of collaborating with the enemy and treason were revealed, there was still no movement from Zhao Chen.

Wei Zheng thought about all the solutions and finally found that there was no solution to the current situation.

He couldn't help but wonder if Zhao Chen also knew that there was nothing he could do now.

So why not just break the jar and throw it away?

This person has been smart all his life, but in the end he is going to capsize in this gutter?

Xuancheng, what's the situation now? Is there any room for saving Zhao Chen's matter? Cheng Yaojin sat opposite Wei Zheng and asked in a deep voice.

It's not like they have no news.

The news that the emperor promised to hear the case publicly in Taiji Hall on the eighth day of the lunar month has spread.

Wei Zheng shook his head and sighed heavily again.

The candlelight on the table swayed left and right as the sigh blew.

Qin Qiong's complexion changed slightly.

They all knew Zhao Chen's true identity, and they also knew that the emperor most likely wanted to choose Zhao Chen as his successor.

But now it was because of such an incident that Zhao Chen stumbled.

Qin Qiong felt a little hard to accept it.

This matter is obviously a frame-up. Is there no other way to solve it? Qin Qiong was a little unwilling.

Zhao Chen saved his life.

Publicly and privately, he hoped that Zhao Chen would be fine.

The crux of this matter is that those guys stamped the letters. Since the prince can let them stamp the letters, will he let them come out to reverse the case for Zhao Chen? Wei Zheng shook his head.

He knew that Li Tai's temper was much crueler than that of Li Chengqian.

Since you have to do something, you will get it done.

We can find a way to bring someone out...

We can't bring him out. Those guys committed suicide in the sky prison. Before Cheng Yaojin could finish his words, he saw Dai Zhou coming from the darkness, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Suicide in the prison? Qin Qiong frowned.

He felt something strange about this matter at the first moment.

It's so good that several guys died directly in the Dali Temple prison?

This is too nonsense!

Not only did he die, he also left a confession of guilt! Dai Zhou took out a piece of paper covered with ink from his arms and slapped it on the table.
