Now Cheng Guangda has left the gate of the imperial city and returned to his Northern Imperial Army camp.

In Kong Yingda's view, this is what Cheng Guangda made the final choice.

Since Cheng Guangda and he gave in, it means that Zhao Chen has no help now.

At least this is true in Chang'an City.

Just relying on Zhao Chen's few people, even if Zhao Chen has the ability to dominate the sky, it would be useless in front of him, Kong Yingda.

Seeing that Kong Yingda was so confident, some ministers also heard that Cheng Guangda's Northern Imperial Army withdrew.

I also thought that this is still the moment when Kong Yingda gained power.

They were already a little unsteady, but now they were even more thinking about clinging to Kong Yingda.

"Kong Zhongshu is right. Just Zhao Chen himself, what can he do if he comes with a few more?"

"It's just a few more unjust dead people." Some officials flattered Kong Yingda.

"Mr. Zhang said it right. In the past, Zhao Chen just took advantage of His Majesty's favor. Otherwise, the evil he committed in the court would have been killed by us long ago."

"It's okay that he didn't come into the imperial city today. He came in and could just take this opportunity to kill him directly."

"It can also be considered as avenging His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness will definitely be happy at that time."

"As Kong Zhongshu said, the official is worried that Zhao Chen has not sneaked into the imperial city, otherwise... hehe!" Another official next to him spoke.

His face was full of mockery and his mouth was full of dirty words.

"It's okay that Zhao Chen doesn't have the courage. If he really doesn't know how to live or die, then we have to do a favor and send him on the way."

"Haha, that's true."

"Compared to those of us here, there should be many people who want to watch Zhao Chen die."

"It's ridiculous that Zhao Chen is the crown prince of my Tang Dynasty, a country boy who came out of nowhere. After some luck, he wanted to subvert my Tang Dynasty country, and he didn't know how to live or die."

"Shu Kong Zhongshu, the lower officials felt that when things happened, Shu Kong Zhongshu could send people to Wannian County to dig all the tombs of Zhao Chen's parents for the 18th generation, and whip the corpse to serve as a warning to others."

In the hall of the Secretariat Office, the ministers' advice came one after another.

Just like Gao Shilian and other old ministers who were biased towards Zhao Chen, they didn't say a word at this moment.

Everyone knows that saying something questioned or even scolded Kong Yingda at this moment will not change anything.

Once something happens to Zhao Chen, nothing can be saved.

How much hatred does it take to dig the tombs of the ancestors to do something that will make the world despise?

And the officials who spoke like this just now had no human nature.

Kong Yingda was in a better mood. So many people followed him, although many people were forced by the current situation.

But as long as you can keep controlling yourself, these people who are forced by the current situation must keep pretending.

After today, we will try our best to capture Zhao Chen and find Li Tai.

After dealing with Zhao Chen and clearing out all the remaining forces of Zhao Chen, it was when Li Tai ascended the throne in Chang'an.

As for the emperor who is far away on the front line, he will have a good time with Zhao Chen. I'll let him go with Zhao Chen at that time!

This is Kong Yingda’s idea.

Kong Yingda, immersed in the flattery of all officials, smiled and saw a group of eunuchs and palace maids delivering dishes coming from outside, waving hands with all officials.

"Everyone, today is a great day. I asked the people from Shangshi Bureau to make some delicious food and enjoy it."

"In the future, I and the prince will need your help to work together to contribute to the Tang Dynasty." Kong Yingda said with a smile.

Everyone looked at the door.

Then I saw a team of soldiers walking towards this side with the food protecting the food.

Although I had never seen such a situation, everyone thought it was Kong Yingda who was worried about his own safety.

So arrange soldiers around you at any time.

Even escorting dishes is also to let soldiers protect them.

Everyone laughed in their hearts that Kong Yingda was afraid of death, but he didn't show any expression on his face.

"Kong Zhongshu is indeed different from us. Even the people serving the food use the soldiers around us. No wonder Kong Zhongshu can accomplish anything." Gao Shilian suddenly spoke, making the entire hall quiet instantly.

Kong Yingda's face was a little gloomy.

He could not hear the irony in Gao Shilian's words just now.

Isn’t it just that he, Kong Yingda, is afraid of death?

If Gao Shilian was not the uncle of Empress Changsun and the uncle of the crown prince, if Li Tai ascended the throne, it would be better to need the support of old ministers like Gao Shilian.

Otherwise, Gao Shilian's head would become a sacrifice for today's banquet.

All the officials were also stunned for a moment.

They all secretly said that Gao Shilian did not know the current affairs and would seek death at this time.

"Gao Jijiu said it is reasonable. I am a little afraid of death now, so I arranged for sergeants to protect him."

"But when Zhao Chen is killed, I don't need these." Kong Yingda looked at Gao Shilian with a smile.

He also knew that Gao Shilian and Zhao Chen had a good relationship and had had several contacts with Zhao Chen before.

How could he, Kong Yingda, say this at this moment, not retort?

Gao Shilian stopped talking and turned his head with a gloomy face.

The soldiers began to serve the dishes, and delicacies were placed in front of the tables of the officials.

After a while, dozens of tables were filled with delicious wine and delicacies.

At this moment, the night had already fallen. After Cheng Chumo's beard was shaved, as long as he didn't speak, it would be difficult for others to discover his true identity.

After delivering delicious wine, a group of soldiers stood behind all the officials.

Zhao Chen and others were also hiding among the crowd, carefully observing the movements around them.

There are dozens of officials in the hall, all of whom are imprisoned in the imperial city of fifth rank or above.

Except for some military generals, the rest are civil officials who are powerless.

Zhao Chen also had dozens of soldiers from the Imperial City around him, everyone holding weapons and wearing armor.

Kong Yingda is twenty steps away from Zhao Chen. If he suddenly starts to attack Kong Yingda.

Zhao Chen was worried that he would be stopped by the soldiers beside Kong Yingda.

If it were just killed Kong Yingda, it would be easy, but what Zhao Chen needed was to take down the alive Kong Yingda.

If someone is blocked and you are not able to kill him, you might be able to run away.

By then, it will be a waste of effort.

The most important thing now is that you can get closer to Kong Yingda a little, and then capture him on the spot within a short distance.

But, in such a large public place, how can we get close to Kong Yingda?

"Kong Zhongshu, you are the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and you don't even have a person to pour wine. I will pour wine for Kong Zhongshu in the future." Su Duo suddenly stood up, letting everyone look over.

All the officials thought they were despicable enough and had thrown their so-called dignity aside.

However, at this moment, he actually heard such flattering words from Su Duo.

As a military general, he actually took the initiative to pour wine for civil servants and was willing to do the job of attendants.

It really refreshed everyone's views.

"Su Dun, you are so shameless. You have lost all the dignity of the military general." Gao Shilian rebuked angrily, looking angry.

Su Duo turned around, looked at Gao Shilian, and sneered: "Gao Jijiu, you should care about yourself. What crime did you commit in this general's affairs?"
