Chapter 1812 The emperor is really a loser
The emperor's furious voice spread far and wide, and the eunuchs and maids outside the palace turned pale with fear.
"Your Majesty, please calm down first." Empress Changsun was reprimanded by the emperor, but she did not complain at all. Instead, she persuaded the emperor to calm down.
The emperor's face was livid, and his chest was rising and falling with anger.
If it weren't for Empress Changsun next to her, but for someone else, he would have slapped her directly.
But fortunately, the emperor is a person who has experienced countless changes after all.
Although the short-term anger made him a little crazy, he quickly suppressed the anger in his heart.
Slowly sitting down, the emperor once again looked at the crumpled secret letter in his hand.
The secret letter was still written by his informant hidden in the Tang Dynasty's border army.
The letter stated that Zhao Chen had proclaimed himself emperor in the capital of Silla and changed the name of Silla to Daye.
Among the many generals of the border army, only Zhao Chen obeyed his orders.
"Take a look." The emperor closed his eyes and handed the secret message to Empress Changsun beside him.
Empress Changsun took the secret letter and only read it briefly before her face turned pale.
But she shook her head firmly and knelt in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am willing to protect you with my life. Chen'er will never do such a thing."
The emperor stared at Empress Changsun and finally shook his head.
Without saying anything, he was about to get up and leave, but the eunuch's voice came from outside the door again: "Your Majesty, Princess Li Ruoshuang of Han Dynasty wishes to see you."
Although the emperor removed Zhao Chen's title, the title of the Han Palace was not removed.
Li Ruoshuang is still the Princess of Han after all.
"What is she here for?" The emperor looked gloomy.
I originally thought that no one would be seen, and I would directly issue an edict to arrest Zhao Chen nationwide, but I looked back at Empress Changsun who was kneeling on the ground, and finally softened her heart.
He walked back to Empress Changsun, helped her sit down, and said to the outside: "Let her in."
Li Ruoshuang walked quickly into the building
In the Zhengdian Hall, he saluted the emperor and empress, and then took out a letter from his arms: "Your Majesty, I just received a letter from His Highness, and Your Highness asked me to submit it to Your Majesty immediately."
"Did you receive a letter from Chen'er?" Empress Changsun looked happy and looked at the emperor with her eyes.
But the emperor looked at Li Ruoshuang expressionlessly.
"I received news that Zhao Chen proclaimed himself emperor in the capital of Silla. His kingdom was named Daye. He didn't tell you?" The emperor stared into Li Ruoshuang's eyes.
Li Ruoshuang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Your Majesty, His Highness has never liked to exercise power. Even when Your Majesty named him King of Han, Your Highness always showed displeasure when talking about this matter..."
"He thinks that being the King of Han is not enough. He wants to be the emperor!" The emperor interrupted Li Ruoshuang.
Li Ruoshuang looked up at the emperor and looked into his eyes without fear: "Your Majesty, where do you start with these words? If your Majesty has the slightest intention of becoming an emperor, please kill me first."
"Ruoshuang, what are you talking about!"
"Your Majesty, Ruoshuang didn't mean that!" Empress Changsun quickly stopped Li Ruoshuang and explained to the emperor.
There was a penetrating expression on the emperor's face.
"Okay, okay, you two really have the same temper."
"You don't even take me seriously, right?"
"Come here, Li Ruoshuang..."
"Your Majesty!" Queen Changsun shouted loudly and fell to her knees.
The emperor looked at Empress Changsun and then at Li Ruoshuang: "Confining Li Ruoshuang in the house. Without my order, she is not allowed to leave the house even half a step. If she disobeys the order, she will be killed without mercy!"
"Your Majesty!" Queen Changsun shouted again.
"Humph!" The emperor snorted coldly, turned around and left. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned back and snatched Zhao Chen's letter from Li Ruoshuang.
…
"Have you heard that the Princess of Han went to the Li Zheng Palace today to plead for the King of Han? As a result, His Majesty was furious and was imprisoned in the palace and was not allowed to go out."
"Of course I have heard about it. This matter has spread throughout the palace. Many people saw Princess Han walking out of the palace crying."
"Isn't that right? Prince Han's Mansion is directly surrounded by Qianniu Guards. Even those who come out to buy groceries must be carefully inspected."
"Alas, His Majesty Long Yan is furious this time. The Han Palace may not have a chance to stand up."
"I heard that Your Majesty got the news again that the King of Han proclaimed himself emperor in Silla. This is treason."
"Who knows."
Within the palace, everyone was discussing the matter of setting up the Zhengdian Hall today.
Many people were extremely surprised to learn that Li Ruoshuang was imprisoned by the emperor.
If Zhao Chen really didn't do that, why would the emperor order Li Ruoshuang to be imprisoned without hesitation?
It is estimated that if it were not for Li Jing's face, it would not just be as simple as being imprisoned.
In the court room.
The emperor stared at the ministers in front of him with a gloomy face.
"Bang——" The emperor suddenly slapped his hand on the table, and all the officials were startled.
He quickly bent down and lowered his head, not daring to look into the emperor's eyes.
"I never thought that I would be so kind to him, and even want to pass on the title of prince and saint to him in the future."
"But!"
"First he forged an imperial edict, and then he proclaimed himself emperor in the capital of Silla. It was clear that he had harbored evil intentions for a long time."
"I will never tolerate it!"
"Cheng Yaojin!" The emperor suddenly called Cheng Yaojin.
"I'm here." Cheng Yaojin bowed his head and walked out, his heart starting to beat.
"I order you to be the rebel marshal and recruit one hundred thousand troops. We will set off in three days to help me eliminate the traitor Zhao Chen." The emperor's order was issued.
, everyone was shocked.
The emperor actually ordered Cheng Yaojin to lead 100,000 troops to conquer Zhao Chen?
Is this really a rebellion?
But if it wasn't for a rebellion, how could the emperor issue such an edict in the court.
And directly characterized Zhao Chen as a traitor.
"His Majesty……"
"I have made up my mind. Anyone who excuses a traitor will be guilty of the same crime as the traitor." Fang Xuanling originally wanted to persuade the emperor, but the emperor actually said such cruel words.
Fang Xuanling shook his head helplessly. At this moment, he felt that the world of the Tang Dynasty was about to change.
The other officials may want to explain to Zhao Chen, but they dare not touch the emperor's brow at this time.
They all fell silent.
But everyone knows that the next Tang Dynasty may not be so stable.
…
"Hahahaha, my lord is really powerful. The emperor actually sent an army to conquer Zhao Chen."
"With an army of 100,000, plus the 300,000 allied troops of Japan and others, Zhao Chen is dead even if he has great abilities."
In the secret room, the young man was so happy that he picked up the wine bottle beside him and drank a few sips of it.
Although he choked, it was still difficult to suppress the joy in his heart.
"As you said, no matter how capable Zhao Chen is, he is dead this time. It will not be in vain that I spent so much time on the emperor's spy in the Tang Dynasty's border army." The old man said lightly.
Although the tone is dull, you can still hear the joy in it.
"The emperor has spies among the border troops?" the young man wondered.
"Of course, do you think the emperor is really just a loser?"
"Any army with more than 10,000 troops has the emperor's eyes."
"And this spy, the emperor trusts him very much." The old man smiled slightly.
