The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

In the Taiji Hall, the courtiers stood in two rows.

It was supposed to be the first court meeting in the festive eleventh year of Zhenguan, but whether it was the emperor sitting on the dragon couch or the ministers standing under his highness.

There was no trace of joy on anyone's face.

Even Li Tai, Hou Junji and others also had sullen faces at this moment.

Empress Changsun sat next to the emperor, looking at the ministers in front of her expressionlessly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Father, all the ministers have arrived! Li Tai looked around and said to the emperor.

He couldn't wait to capture Zhao Chen here.

Your Majesty, the case of Wangyou Baozi Pu has extensive implications. Zhao Chen, the Duke of Ten Thousand Years Ago, is even suspected of treason and collaborating with the enemy. .??.

Today all the officials gathered together to try the case clearly and not let any rebellious officials and traitors go. Hou Junji spoke secondly.

Now his feud with Zhao Chen has been put on the table.

In order to capture Zhao Chen, Hou Junji did not hesitate to go into battle himself.

In other words, as long as he can capture Zhao Chen today, Hou Junji no longer cares about his face.

As soon as Hou Junji opened his mouth, hundreds of officials began to echo his words.

Your Majesty, after interrogation in Dali Temple, the shopkeeper and clerk of Wangyou Baozi Shop exposed that their boss Zhao Chen secretly communicated with Tibet in an attempt to subvert our country, the Tang Dynasty.

For such a capital crime, Your Majesty, please punish me severely.

Yes, Dai Zhou, the young minister of Dali Temple, also knew about this. I also heard that the shopkeepers and clerks were worried about Zhao Chen's revenge, so they left a suicide note in the prison of Dali Temple and hanged themselves.

It shows how cruel Zhao Chen is in their eyes.

Otherwise, who would not care about their own lives?

I request your Majesty to investigate this matter and punish Zhao Chen severely.

Your Majesty, please punish me severely!

Some officials spoke, but the other officials didn't need to say anything anymore and just shouted to the emperor.

Servant Huang, I heard that Zhao Chen treats his subordinates very well. Even his monthly salary is several times that of others.

How could he be the kind of person you said? Empress Changsun couldn't bear to hear the people in front of her slandering Zhao Chen, and couldn't help but speak for Zhao Chen.

Mother, the so-called knowing people but not their hearts, despite Zhao Chen's usually kind appearance, in fact his methods are scary.

When Erchen interrogated those guys, they also exposed Zhao Chen's ruthlessness. Erchen also promised them that when the case is over, they will stay away from this kind of right and wrong and live a happy life.

I didn't expect them to...

Mother, if you were not forced to do anything, who would even risk your own life? Li Tai and Queen Changsun said.

But it blocked Queen Changsun's attempt to defend Zhao Chen.

Empress Changsun sighed twice, looked at Li Tai in front of her, and frowned slightly.

Queen, what the Crown Prince said is reasonable. He knows people but not their hearts. If he hadn't been ruthless enough, how could his men not cherish their lives.

And when His Highness the Crown Prince interrogated them, he didn't even use punishment. These Dai Shaoqing can all testify. Huang Shilang and Empress Changsun said just now.

All the officials looked at Dai Zhou.

Dai Zhou frowned, walked out in silence for a moment, and said to the emperor, I don't know the interrogation process, but there are indeed no signs of punishment on these people.

When Dai Zhou said this, Hou Junji took advantage of the situation and said, Your Majesty, Madam, if this is the case, those people must be extremely afraid of Zhao Chen, so they would rather testify against Zhao Chen with their own lives.

Your Majesty, God's will cannot be violated and public opinion cannot be violated. Now the people of Chang'an City, and even the people of the entire Tang Dynasty, are waiting for you to make the decision for those who died!

Your Majesty, please serve the people of the world

Call the shots!

Justice to those who died.

There was another roar of mountains and tsunami, and the crowd in Tai Chi Hall was furious.

The emperor sat at the top and glanced at the officials in front of him.

Of course he knew that these people wanted to follow Li Tai and get Zhao Chen down.

I also know that these so-called evidences were forged by Li Tai and Hou Junji.

But even so, he didn't have any evidence.

Now all the evidence points to Zhao Chen, and there are no witnesses anymore.

All the evidence has become a dead ringer.

Zhao Chen didn't even have a chance to overturn the verdict.

Your Majesty, what should we do about this matter? Empress Changsun and the emperor asked in a low voice, with a hint of complaint in their tone.

If the emperor had not confidently said that everything was under his control, things would not have developed to this point.

What's going on now?

Judging from the evidence, Zhao Chen will definitely be charged with treason and collaboration with the enemy.

This is really destructive.

The emperor wants to protect him?

That also requires the consent of hundreds of officials!

Old Li Tou doesn't know what to do now.

This has already cost lives. Even if Zhao Chen is lucky enough to escape today, he is afraid that Chang'an City will be turned upside down again in the future.

Li Tai and Hou Junji, these people will definitely be retaliated against.

Mr. Guanyin, look at this, even now, there is no trace of panic on Mr. Zhao's face.

I guess he has a way to solve the matter at hand.

So, I am not worried about him, but I am worried about these people in front of me. The emperor glanced at Zhao Chen, and finally his eyes fell on Li Tai and others.

After hearing what the emperor said, Empress Changsun looked at Zhao Chen.

She was too worried just now, so she didn't have time to see Zhao Chen's reaction.

Only then did I realize that Zhao Chen didn't say a word the whole time, watching with cold eyes as everyone questioned him.

Zhao Chen, do you have anything to say? The emperor asked, and everyone finally realized what he was saying.

It's been so long, and Zhao Chen hasn't said a word from beginning to end.

What else can he say now, something with solid evidence.

Does it make any sense to say anything?

Some officials thought to themselves.

Hou Junji stared at Zhao Chen's face.

He didn't sleep all night last night, and he was also thinking about whether there were any loopholes in the matter against Zhao Chen this time.

Having fought against Zhao Chen so many times, Hou Junji also understood that if he was slightly negligent, things would most likely be reversed.

Hou Junji also knew that if Zhao Chen was allowed to escape today, he would have to bear the revenge of God.

Hou Junji had no confidence in the revenge from Zhao Chen.

Otherwise, Zhao Chen would not be directly charged with such a serious crime this time, just to prevent Zhao Chen from ever being able to recover.

Your Majesty, the evidence in this case is conclusive, what else can a sinful person say?

I request your Majesty to capture Zhao Chen immediately, annihilate the three tribes, and rectify the country's laws! Hou Junji said to the emperor before Zhao Chen could.

Chen Guogong, I am asking Zhao Chen, what do you want to do if you are so active? The emperor looked at Hou Junji and said in a deep voice.

If it weren't for the fact that Hou Junji had made many contributions to the Tang Dynasty, how could Hou Junji have been able to escape so easily after Li Chengqian's accident last time?

Li Chengqian even lost his position as prince, and Changsun Wuji was even driven back to his hometown in Jinyang.

Is he, Hou Junji, special?

Chen... Chen... After being reprimanded by the emperor, Hou Junji looked a little ugly, but he didn't know how to argue.

Your Majesty, Zhao Chen has something to say! Zhao Chen, who had never spoken in the Tai Chi Hall, spoke up.
