Chapter 177 How did you become the emperor?

Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen in a daze.

When I asked Zhao Chen to help before, I didn't see him like this.

How come...

"Even if His Majesty the Emperor asks for help, he shouldn't come empty-handed, right?" Zhao Chen glanced at Li Shimin and said calmly. ??

At first, Zhao Chen regarded Lao Li as a friend, and helping him was nothing.

But who knew he was deceiving himself from beginning to end.

It would have been great if Li Shimin was not kicked out.

It is absolutely impossible to think of a white wolf with nothing.

"Well... I just thought about coming over to apologize to you, so I didn't think about bringing some gifts. Whatever you want, I'll have someone bring it over later." Li Shimin said with a smile.

Before coming, Li Shimin thought that since he had revealed his identity to Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen would have to respect him no matter what.

But now, Li Shimin found that there were some mistakes in his expectations.

It seems that his status has not improved at all.

Clearly as humble as before.

What's even more annoying is that Zhao Chen wants to get the benefits first before he does anything.

Wei Zheng stood aside and felt a little dissatisfied when he saw the emperor acting like this in front of Zhao Chen.

Secretly, the emperor had never been like this when he was fighting with him in the court.

Why did he just... when he arrived at Zhao Chen's place?

"I want to open a bookstore and approve documents..."

"No problem, I asked Old Wei to arrange it with you and deliver it here tonight." Before Zhao Chen could finish speaking, Li Shimin agreed.

A bookstore is nothing.

Compared with the auspicious seeds that were snatched away, Li Shimin didn't care at all.

"Well, I'm not..."

"Shut up."

Wei Zheng wanted to say that he was, after all, an admonishing official and a fifth-rank official in the imperial court.

How could the emperor allow himself to do these errands?

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin directly ordered himself to shut up.

Wei Zheng felt a little dissatisfied

Angry, but thinking that with Zhao Chen's help, he also made a lot of money.

He still swallowed his anger and said nothing.

"Before you searched, you didn't think about who killed these Turks?" Zhao Chen said casually, still playing with the teacup in his hand.

"How do you know, but I am certain that they just want to give away these auspicious seeds." Li Shimin shook his head.

Wei Zheng also frowned, not understanding what Zhao Chen meant by asking.

If they knew who robbed it, they wouldn't be able to arrest him.

"They must have been prepared to kill the Turks. Who knows where the Turks will ambush me?"

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin frowned slightly and blurted out, "You said they are in the same group?"

"A group of Turks killed their own people and took away things in an attempt to hide the truth?" Wei Zheng frowned and understood.

"There is another possibility, that is, other alien races want to kill people and get goods." Zhao Chen nodded and added.

"But there are many foreigners in Chang'an City, and there are also many businessmen coming and going. There is no way to find the murderer."

"This is undoubtedly still looking for a needle in a haystack." Li Shimin frowned.

As for Li Shimin, I heard Zhao Chen say before that those who killed Turks were in the same group as the Turks.

He was still a little excited.

But after thinking about it carefully, I found that this matter was still impossible to investigate.

There are many people in Chang'an City, and there are also many foreigners.

There are even many Turks doing business in Chang'an City.

If we really want to check them one by one, how can we check such a large city of Chang'an?

We can't arrest all the aliens in Chang'an City and torture them, right?

Li Shimin felt that there was probably no way to solve this matter.

This auspiciousness will eventually live outside the Tang Dynasty.

"As an emperor, don't you have any ears or eyes? How did you become an emperor?"

Zhao Chen's words shocked Wei Zheng.

In front of the emperor, he directly questioned his ability as emperor.

Is this because you have taken the courage of your ambition?

Even Wei Zheng, even if he was extremely angry, would not dare to say such a thing.

Mr. Zhao is really powerful.

Wei Zheng secretly gave Zhao Chen a thumbs up.

"Some..." Li Shimin gritted his teeth and could no longer speak.

He really wanted to yell at Zhao Chen, it's not your turn to tell me how I should be the emperor.

However, he thought that his relationship with Zhao Chen had finally eased, and he still had to rely on Zhao Chen for help with the auspicious seeds.

Well, I'm not angry, I'm not angry at all.

Li Shimin muttered silently in his heart.

"You're angry, did I say something wrong?" Zhao Chen looked at Li Shimin and said calmly.

"No, you're right. It's XX's fault. XX did not do well, so I'm not here to decipher it for you!" Li Shimin said with a smile, holding the stool under his butt tightly with one hand, thinking Control your inner anger.

When Wei Zheng saw this, he quickly moved a few steps to the side, fearing that the emperor would go crazy later and blood would be splashed on him.

"It's indeed your fault." Zhao Chen was noncommittal and continued without waiting for Li Shimin to speak.

"Closely related to the foreign races in Chang'an City are the small groups of foreign races, and the other are the permanent envoys from various countries who stay in Chang'an City."

"The small group of foreigners will certainly not be able to ask questions, but what about the permanent envoys?"

"Since it is an auspicious seed, how can it be that only one family wants to seize it, while other countries and other envoys have no such intention?"

Zhao Chen's words made Li Shimin suddenly enlightened.

A problem that has bothered him for a long time but has not been solved yet

, after Zhao Chen said a few words, it suddenly became clear.

"You're right. I was confused and ignored such a point."

"Old Wei, please let Cheng Yaojin Xuan Gao Yuanjing enter the palace immediately, and tell me that I will have a banquet for him." Li Shimin said to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng held his hands and walked out of the tavern.

"Don't forget my official documents." Zhao Chen shouted.

"Let's take care of the bookstore paperwork together." Li Shimin waved his hand.

Wei Zheng left and the tavern fell into silence again.

Li Shimin and Zhao Chen sat across from each other, neither of them spoke first.

"Zhao Chen, you are so old, and someone has apologized to you, why can't you be more generous?"

"You are also a saint of the Tang Dynasty. You are making me lose face." After a long time, Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin felt aggrieved.

Even if the majestic Emperor of the Tang Dynasty apologized to Zhao Chen several times, the key point was that Zhao Chen still didn't even look at him.

Fortunately, there is no one here, otherwise where would he put his face?

"If you want to find that kind of person, it's useless to just question Gao Yuanjing. You have to..." Zhao Chen lowered his voice.

Li Shimin put his ear to his ears and kept nodding.

After saying that, the tavern fell into silence again.

Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen, his eyes shining brightly.

"Is she... feeling better?" After a long time, Zhao Chen glanced at the backyard with a hesitant expression.

"Hehe, I know that you still care about her. Thanks to you, she has been much better these days."

"Divine Doctor Sun also said that if you continue to recover like this, you will definitely be cured within a month."

"Sometimes, I feel like I'm in a dream, but seeing her so relaxed, even if it's just a dream, I don't want to wake up." Li Shimin said slowly with a sigh on his face.

Zhao Chen didn't speak.

He naturally knew the emperor's feelings for Empress Changsun, which could not be faked.
