Chapter 1775 It might not be appropriate for Prime Minister Wei to go there

The moonlight was rising, and the ground was covered with silver frost.

The land of the capital, the center of the imperial city, the inner palace, was completely silent.

Only the court hall was brightly lit, like daylight.

Going to court at night is very unusual.

At least since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, such a thing has never happened.

But it showed up today.

On both sides of the Taiji Hall, the ministers were silent and the atmosphere was solemn.

They were all looking down at their toes, no one was whispering to each other, and even their breathing was as light as possible.

No one expected that such a thing would happen since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

The majestic King of Han of the Tang Dynasty actually dared to fabricate an imperial edict, ignore the imperial edict, and secretly mobilize the border troops.

The imperial edict appeared on the imperial desk of the Taiji Palace Emperor at this moment.

The words written in the imperial edict were artificial and artificial, and obviously not the emperor's original work.

Upon closer inspection, the writing style is very different from the emperor's daily writing. It is obvious that someone deliberately forged it.

And it was actually stamped with the emperor's seal.

Not only was this a forged imperial edict, but the emperor's seal was also forged.

"Your Majesty, the King of Han is so bold. He dares to forge the imperial edict and His Majesty's seal, and mobilize the border troops without authorization. He shall be punished for his crime!" A minister walked out of the team and broke the silence in the court.

If they had not seen this imperial edict with their own eyes, who would have believed that the majestic King of Han was so bold.

The emperor's decree!

He dared to fake this.

One hundred thousand border troops were also mobilized.

If we are not severely punished at this time, then in the future, His Highness the King of Han will dare to forge an imperial edict and directly ascend the throne?

Is this okay?

"Your Majesty, whoever forges the imperial edict must be punished."

"Your Majesty, the King of Han is so arrogant that he dares to do such a thing.

Regarding the rebellion, I request your Majesty to arrest the King of Han immediately. "

"Your Majesty, if you do not severely punish the King of Han, others will surely follow suit in the future. Our country, the Tang Dynasty, is in danger."

"The commander-in-chief of the border army, Xu Shiji, knew that this imperial edict was forged by the King of Han, but still obeyed the orders of the King of Han. They must be complicit. Please punish Xu Shiji as well!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and there was a lot of discussion in the court.

Zhao Chen has high prestige in the court and is deeply favored by the emperor.

Now, the evil deeds of forging imperial edicts and mobilizing border troops are occurring.

Regardless of whether they supported Zhao Chen in the past, opposed Zhao Chen, or were neutrals, they all demanded that Zhao Chen be severely punished.

They can tolerate Zhao Chen misbehaving in the court.

They can tolerate Zhao Chen attacking political opponents.

But they would never tolerate Zhao Chen forging an imperial edict and mobilizing border troops.

If Zhao Chen had not been dealt with such horrific things, they would definitely see Zhao Chen mobilize an army to capture Chang'an one day.

"This font is excerpted from His Majesty's beloved "Lanting Preface" and imitates His Majesty's writing style." Another minister stood up, obviously aware of this matter.

"This imperial edict was not issued by the Emperor, but it was written using His Majesty's penmanship and handwriting. His Highness, the King of Han, has obviously been harboring evil intentions for a long time!"

"What on earth is the King of Han thinking!" Wei Zheng also felt sad for Zhao Chen's confusion at this moment.

Forging imperial edicts and secretly transferring border troops, even if the emperor tolerated him, he would never be able to tolerate him.

Zhao Chen was trying to force himself to death.

The emperor's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

He only knew about this an hour ago.

But without him convening people to discuss, there would be

A large number of officials came to the door.

These people actually knew about this earlier than he, the emperor.

Zhao Chen was confused, forged an imperial edict, and secretly transferred border troops. Naturally, the emperor was extremely angry about this.

But what also made him angry was that this was obviously another plot against Zhao Chen.

This person hiding in Chang'an is really quite capable.

The emperor did not speak, but his eyes were observing everyone present.

But he couldn't see anything.

The entire court was opposed to Zhao Chen's foolish move this time.

The only one who didn't express his opinion was Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin knew that Zhao Chen secretly transferred the border troops, most likely to rescue Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu.

How could he, Cheng Yaojin, say so little about Zhao Chen?

But Cheng Yaojin would rather Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu die in Xincheng than Zhao Chen making such a foolish move.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Han is deeply blessed by the Holy Spirit, but he keeps doing ridiculous things."

"This time we have made such a big mistake. I ask your majesty to consider the country and the country and severely punish the King of Han." Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia who had always maintained a neutral attitude, was heartbroken and knelt in front of the emperor, pleading with his face.

As a founding hero, Li Daozong has never participated in government affairs.

It was really such a big fuss today that even he was alarmed.

Even more so in the Tai Chi Hall, he urged the emperor to severely punish Zhao Chen.

"Your Majesty, please punish the King of Han severely for the sake of the Tang Dynasty." Someone took the lead, and other officials who were dissatisfied with this matter naturally fell to their knees.

Regardless of whether it was a personal grudge or a public grudge, Zhao Chen was pushed down by everyone this time.

"Xuancheng, what's your opinion?" The emperor passed by everyone and looked at Wei Zheng, who looked sad.

Wei Zheng was stunned

, he didn’t want Zhao Chen to get any harm.

But at this time, what can he say?

Even the emperor cannot ignore the requests of his ministers. What can Wei Zheng do?

"Your Majesty, I was once the commander of the King of Han. Now the King of Han has made a big mistake. I cannot escape the blame. I am willing to arrest the King of Han myself." Wei Zheng knelt in front of the emperor and said slowly.

The emperor closed his eyes.

He knew what Wei Zheng meant. If Wei Zheng went to arrest Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen would not face any difficulties on the way.

If it were another person, I'm afraid...

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for Prime Minister Wei to go." Someone immediately stood up and objected: "Prime Minister Wei is on good terms with the King of Han. If this matter continues to be delayed, when will the King of Han be apprehended?"

"Your Majesty, within three months, I will take the King of Han back to Chang'an." Wei Zheng glanced at the official who spoke, turned around and said to the emperor.

"His Majesty……"

"Okay, I will grant you three months. After three months, I will see the King of Han here." The emperor interrupted the officials who were still talking and made the final decision.

"Your Majesty, there are also Xu Shiji and 100,000 border troops, they..." An official said about the Tang Dynasty border troops.

"Your Majesty, Xu Shiji must be punished severely. He knows it clearly..."

"What does Xu Shiji know? This edict was forged so cleverly that even I almost didn't recognize it."

"What's more, Goguryeo has invaded Silla. Silla is our vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and has sent documents asking for help many times."

"Xu Shiji unexpectedly moved, so he sent an order to repel Goguryeo from Silla." The emperor spoke, and gave Xu Shiji no idea.

The officials naturally saw that the emperor was protecting Xu Shiji.

But there was nothing they could do.

Fortunately, the lawless King of Han was not able to escape after all.
