Chapter 167 You were the one who entered the palace yesterday
She naturally knew what Du He and Chai Lingwu were doing there.
As soon as Zhao Chen showed up, he would be immediately stopped by the two of them.
Zhao Chen has no official position, and Du He and Chai Lingwu will not show mercy.
If this goes to the East Palace or Prince Wei's Mansion, there will definitely be no benefit.
Queen Changsun didn’t want anything to happen to Zhao Chen.
"Today, the auxiliary machine told me that the autumn examination is coming soon, and the position of the chief and deputy examiner has not yet been decided." Li Shimin suddenly said something completely wrong.
Queen Changsun didn't even react for a moment.
"The imperial examination is a big deal, and the autumn examination, which is held every three years, is even more important. I want Zhao Chen to be the examiner. What do you think of Guanyin?" Li Shimin suddenly asked.
"The examiner of the autumn exam?" Empress Changsun finally came to her senses and asked again.
It seemed that he wanted to confirm whether the emperor was serious.
This autumn examination can be said to be the top priority of Datang, and it is all about selecting outstanding talents for Datang.
And the selection of the invigilator is naturally a top priority.
All the factions in the DPRK and China want to be the invigilators with their eyes open.
Because in this way, you can bring these outstanding talents under your command and enrich your power.
Many times, the examiner is the result of the game between various forces.
Even the emperor, for the sake of balance, cannot act casually.
But Emperor Cai just said that Zhao Chen should be the examiner.
"Your Majesty, are you ready to reveal everything about Chen'er?" Queen Changsun asked.
But even so, the officials could not be convinced.
No one is a fool. If the emperor arranges his own people in this way, how can all the officials not object?
"I haven't thought about it yet. Aren't we discussing with Guanyin?" Li Shimin shook his head.
"Your Majesty, the examiner is just a piece of fat. If Chen'er is asked to do it, he will be surrounded by wolves."
"Your Majesty must not give him the post of examiner." Queen Changsun advised.
usually
It's okay for Zhao Chen to make a small fuss, but if the position of examiner is given to him, he will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of many people.
This undoubtedly pushed Zhao Chen into the fire pit.
How could Queen Changsun be willing?
"Guanyin Maid is right. I didn't think it through well. I'll think about it again." Li Shimin nodded.
"Then Du He and Chai Lingwu..."
"Guanyin maid, there is no need to worry, I have made arrangements." Li Shimin comforted you.
…
At the entrance of Duke Wei's Mansion.
Du He and Chai Lingwu each led people to squat here.
Just to wait for the masked man who entered the house yesterday.
Just one night passed, and except for the servants of Duke Wei's mansion who went out to buy groceries, no one came out.
"Du He, you should go back first. It seems that this person will not be able to come out for a while." Chai Lingwu said with a smile.
Du He glanced at Chai Lingwu and said nothing.
Continue to stare at the Duke Wei's Mansion ahead.
Of course he knew Chai Lingwu's little plan, he wanted him to leave, and then he, Chai Lingwu, could take the person away.
Isn't this a dream?
Du He received the death order and must bring the masked man back to the East Palace.
The last time he went to the tavern to recruit Zhao Chen, he had already run an errand. If he couldn't do it well this time...
The Du family has been in decline since Du Ruhui's death.
Although the holy grace is still there, it is not the same as before.
If he, Du He, can't get ahead, the Du family will be reduced to a second-rate family in the future.
This time, he must not let anyone slip from his hands.
"General, look, someone is coming out of the Duke's Mansion." Du He was just thinking about it when he heard his subordinates shooting at him.
shouted.
Du He was shocked and quickly looked ahead at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.
Although they did not dare to appear directly at the gate of Duke Wei's mansion, the distance was not too far.
Du He saw Li Ruoshuang and a young man walking out of the house at a glance.
Li Ruoshuang was holding a pony and talking and laughing with the boy next to her.
"Is it him?" Du He's expression changed slightly when he saw Zhao Chen.
This was not the first time he met Zhao Chen.
At the beginning, it was Prince Li Chengqian who asked him to recruit Zhao Chen, but that time, he was strangely captured by Cheng Yaojin and his men.
The second time was when he met with the Tibetan delegation, and that time he was severely humiliated by Li Ruoshuang.
This is the third time we meet today.
"The general knows him? Should he be arrested now?" someone asked.
Du He glanced at Chai Lingwu next to him and saw that he had also noticed Li Ruoshuang and Zhao Chen walking out. He slowly shook his head and said, "Wait until they are far away, and you can't do anything at the gate of the Duke's Mansion."
"Also, the order goes down and no one touches Li Ruoshuang, otherwise, we will be dead."
Li Jing, the most prestigious person in the Tang Dynasty's army, was in the mansion.
Although it was rumored that he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, everyone in the know knew that it was just an excuse.
If he really dares to hurt Li Ruoshuang, no one can guarantee that Li Jing will mobilize the army to kill him.
The best way is not to touch Li Ruoshuang.
Chai Lingwu next to him also gave the same order, and the two waves of people carefully stared at the direction in which Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang left.
…
"Zhao Chen, someone is following you." Li Ruoshuang held the pony and whispered to Zhao Chen.
Du He and others did not avoid them at all, they just followed them so boldly that anyone could see their purpose at a glance.
"The Crown Prince and King Wei actually gave the order to die, so it's hard for them to follow them.
. "
"Have Lao Cheng and Xiao Qin arrived?" Zhao Chen asked with a faint smile.
"It should be here, I just asked someone to notify you." Li Ruoshuang nodded.
Zhao Chen asked her to find someone to deliver a letter to Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu in the morning, but he didn't know what he said.
Just knowing where Zhao Chen asked them to wait.
Don't know what to do.
"Zhao Chen, why don't we go back first? With so many people, it's hard for me to protect you." Li Ruoshuang said with some worry.
Behind them, there were twenty or thirty people. Although no one was holding a weapon, Li Ruoshuang didn't have much confidence in protecting Zhao Chen from so many people.
After all, although Du He is no match, with a few more, they can still entangle her.
"Don't worry, keep going, we'll be there soon." Zhao Chen smiled slightly, but his steps were much easier than usual.
Li Ruoshuang obviously didn't notice this change because she was impatient.
One after another, everyone finally left the sight of Duke Wei's Mansion.
Du He waved his hand, and the crowd immediately rushed over and surrounded Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang.
Chai Lingwu did not dare to show weakness and led others to block the direction in which the two left.
"Zhao Chen, were you the one who entered the palace yesterday?" Du He looked at Zhao Chen's face with a strange expression.
According to the news he received, Zhao Chen was just a tavern owner, and he was suffering from a long-term illness.
How could such a person cure the queen's illness?
However, it was Li Ruoshuang who brought people into the Duke's Mansion yesterday, and now she brought Zhao Chen out again.
Even if it isn't, we have to capture Zhao Chen first.
"Du He? What do you want from me?" Zhao Chen looked around, finally his eyes fell on Du He, and asked with a smile.
"My officer?"
"Zhao Chen, do you think you are the envoy?" Du He said jokingly.
