Chapter 1473 How about you talk to me first
Zhao Chen knew that the emperor would come to find him, but he did not expect that the emperor would come so quickly.
After Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling informed the emperor about the interrogation, the emperor came to Zhao Chen's mansion angrily.
"Bang!" The emperor slapped the table in front of him, and then stared at Zhao Chen with vicious eyes.
Fortunately, Ping An was not here, otherwise he would have been shocked by the emperor's appearance.
"Boy Chen, what do you mean?" the emperor glared at Zhao Chen and asked in a deep voice.
The emperor didn't understand very well. His intention was already very obvious, but he didn't want to punish Li Xiaogong, so why did Zhao Chen even reveal the matter?
Could it be to disgust him as the emperor?
The emperor came here with a lot of anger. If Zhao Chen did not give a reasonable explanation today, the emperor would not have given up so easily.
"What's wrong? I'm so angry?"
"Even if you are angry, you should still post it to Li Xiaogong instead of me, right?" Zhao Chen said slowly with a calm face.
Of course the emperor knew that his anger should be triggered by Li Xiaogong.
If he hadn't known the ungrateful situation, he would not have caused this situation today.
But the emperor came here to question why Zhao Chen had to reveal it again. He had not considered the others for the time being, nor did he want to consider them.
"The Prince of Hejian is my royal brother and the only relatives left by my side. Even if he has a huge mistake, I don't want to attack him. Now you have reported this to the Shangshu Province.
How do you ask me to do it?" The emperor slowly told Zhao Chen about his thoughts, but he still looked unhappy.
He didn't understand what Zhao Chen meant?
What the emperor knew was that Zhao Chen knew that he was favoring Li Xiaogong, but he still exposed the matter.
Could it be that you really just want to go against yourself?
"Isn't this the right thing to do if you kill someone and pay your life, and if you owe debts?"
"Why can he be exempted from such punishment because of Li Xiaogong's royal status?" Zhao Chen looked at the emperor and asked slowly.
The emperor hesitated for a moment.
Of course he knew how to kill people and pay for their lives, and owed debts, but the problem was that he really didn't want to attack his only few relatives.
He regretted the incident at that time very much. Although the emperor was alone, he was not without any friendship.
Now that Zhao Chen is about to force him to do what he doesn't want to do, the emperor is naturally angry.
"Emperor, you can think about it carefully. If it were Li Xiaogong himself, would he let you go?"
"Although Li Xiaogong did not attend the fire before, if it were not for his order, Ma Zhiyuan and others would dare to burn the entire Qizhou Governor's Office with the fire?"
"At that time, he didn't say he wanted to let you go!"
"If you hadn't been lucky enough, you would have gone to the West to meet the Buddha long ago."
"Do you still have the chance to blame me here?" Zhao Chen said, with a sneer flashing across his face.
Li Xiaogong was not merciful to the emperor. If the emperor had not been for his great destiny, he would have died in the fire.
Where can I have a chance to say these words?
The emperor was silent, and he naturally knew these principles, but he thought about the things he had done that he had regretted.
Now I never want to kill Li Xiaogong again.
"Boy Chen, I know what you said, but I really don't want to attack the Prince of Hejian."
"I don't have many relatives around me, and one person will die less. I don't want to be alone in a hundred years."
"Since you can reveal this, there must be a way to deal with him."
"You tell me a way. As long as I don't kill Li Xiaogong, I can promise you anything." After a long silence, the emperor spoke to Zhao Chen.
His face was full of expectations.
The emperor believed that since Zhao Chen could reveal this matter, he could definitely solve the problem.
Zhao Chen looked at the emperor and sighed a little.
However, what the emperor said just now was indeed what Zhao Chen wanted to hear.
After killing Li Xiaogong, Zhao Chen knew that this was impossible. With the emperor's personality, he would never kill one of the few relatives left by his side.
What Zhao Chen thought was that Li Xiaogong would never appear in the court again.
And now is the best time.
"There is one way, but he can only save the life of the Prince of Hejian. However, he can only spend the rest of his life in his mansion in the future and will never appear in the court again." Zhao Chen looked at the emperor and then said slowly.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Zhao Chen.
"Although Ma Zhiyuan's identification was found, there was no definite evidence. In general, the identification letter could not fully identify Li Xiaogong's involvement in other matters."
"Although many officials also know about this, as long as there is no definite evidence, it is not enough to punish Lee Hyo-gong."
"But one thing is that since Ma Zhiyuan accused Li Xiaogong, this matter must be groundless. Even if there is no evidence, the appropriate measures must be taken."
"The decree is issued to prevent Li Xiaogong from entering the court in this life." Zhao Chen said to the emperor.
As long as Li Xiaogong never enters the court again, this matter will be considered as the final result.
Otherwise, if Li Xiaogong returns to the court in a few days, wouldn’t the suffering they suffered in it be in vain?
The emperor looked at Zhao Chen, and he suddenly realized something.
"Don't let Hejian Prince return to the court?"
"Are you afraid that I will feel pity for him and then let him return to the court?" The emperor looked at Zhao Chen's eyes.
Zhao Chen just smiled slightly and did not answer the emperor's words.
"How could I do such a thing? Even if I don't want to punish the Prince of Hejian, it wouldn't be so crazy that he would return to the court."
"In your eyes, is it what you think?" The emperor was angry again.
He felt that Zhao Chen looked down on him a little.
How could I let a person who almost endangered the entire Tang Dynasty return to the court?
"Your Majesty is kind!"
Zhao Chen said this, but it was full of ridicule in the emperor's ears.
Because his emperor's personality is benevolence, and it is precisely because of this that he cannot do many things according to his likes and dislikes.
But Zhao Chen said this and mocked him completely.
"Boy Chen!" The emperor slapped the table again.
He thought Zhao Chen was too much.
It was clear that Zhao Chen did it on purpose to let Ma Zhiyuan reveal Li Xiaogong's incident.
The reason is that Zhao Chen feels that his kindness is set up too high.
"Stop patting, patting my desk again." Zhao Chen waved his hand and signaled that the emperor should not be so excited, and then continued:
"In a dozen days, I will set out to the front line, but I always feel like you are hiding something from me, why don't you tell me first?"
Zhao Chen was also a little strange.
When Cheng Yaojinda and the others came to visit him before, they always felt that they wanted to say something to him, but they didn't say it.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but feel that they were hiding something from him.
