Suddenly, Li Ke almost choked himself again when he was next to him.

What does this dish mean is not enough?

I obviously want to see Zhao Chen and myself surrender.

Li Ke didn't dare to speak.

If you say the wrong thing at this time, he will be the one who will be dealt with later.

"Shopkeeper Chen, come some more dishes." Zhao Chen simply called the shopkeeper of Wangyou Restaurant to continue serving the dishes.

The shopkeeper saw that the table of dishes was clearly full of food, but now he still had to serve them.

Seeing the emperor looking proud again, I realized it in my heart.

He secretly scolded the old man in front of him for being ungrateful.

I hurried downstairs to let the kitchen prepare.

"Why do I feel that the shopkeeper looked at me just now, it was wrong?" The emperor looked at Zhao Chen and said slowly.

"Stop talking about those useless things, what else do you have?" Zhao Chen didn't want to pay attention to the emperor.

If it weren't for the inviting to do business today, Zhao Chen would have left long ago.

Will you still see Lao Li’s proud look here?

"Boy Chen, what is your attitude? Are you asking others for help?" The emperor pretended to be dissatisfied.

After finally waiting for a chance to ask Zhao Chen to do his own business, the emperor didn't plan to just forget it easily.

Thinking about the fact that when I asked Zhao Chen for business, I had no idea.

Where are you going today?

"Old Li, you're afraid that you won't want to live your life after today, right?" Zhao Chen looked at the emperor with a blank expression.

The emperor's mouth twitched.

This is not a way of asking others to do things.

This kid is clearly threatening himself.

The emperor wanted to say toughly that I would never have a chance to go to the future.

But he couldn't say it.

According to the current situation, he asked Zhao Chen to do more things.

If Zhao Chen said this today, he would not have humiliated himself severely.

Not worth it, but not worth it at all.

"You boy dares to threaten me." The emperor said dissatisfiedly, and then changed his subject: "Well, since your boy has helped me with a lot of things before, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Tell me, I need to take action if I have something to do."

Li Ke was afraid that Zhao Chen and the emperor would fight here.

By then, he wouldn't know whether he should watch the show or break up the fight.

Fortunately, the emperor took a step back at this time.

"Wu Xu sent me a letter from Gaochang State saying that Tubo Songtsen Gampo was preparing to attack Gaochang."

"You should know this!" Zhao Chen briefly told the emperor about Wu Xu.

Of course the emperor knew the news.

The Secretariat had delivered the news to his desk ten days ago.

But the emperor did not inform Zhao Chen of this matter.

News about Gaochang Kingdom was also constantly reaching the emperor's ears.

Within less than a year after Wu Xu went to Gaochang Kingdom, he had already firmly sat on the throne of Queen Gaochang Kingdom.

He even took all the military and political power of Gaochang State in his own hands.

But a teenage girl actually has such ability.

The emperor didn't want Wu Xu to be too involved with Zhao Chen.

So I concealed this matter before.

I didn't expect Zhao Chen to mention it on his own initiative today.

"I have heard of this, but I don't want you, boy Chen, to interfere in this matter." The emperor looked at Zhao Chen and said lightly.

"Why?" Zhao Chen frowned.

"Yes, Father, why can't you interfere in this matter? Wu Xu has always been treated like a sister by the emperor's brother. Moreover, Gaochang is an affiliate of my Tang Dynasty. Tubo is invading. If we do not support it, Gaochang will be very easy.

He was destroyed by Tubo Gong." Li Ke was also curious.

The emperor would not be unaware of the relationship between Zhao Chen and Wu Xu.

It is not unclear whether the Tang Dynasty did not support Gaochang, Gaochang would definitely be destroyed by Tubo.

But the emperor still said that he didn't want Zhao Chen to interfere in this matter.

What is the reason?

"You may not know it now. It took less than a year since Wu Xu went to Gaochang to kill the Gaochang royal family's children, and all the power in the court was controlled by Wu Xu."

"In today's Gaochang Kingdom, the real controller of real power is her Wu Xu."

"Think about it, she is just a teenage girl now."

"And Wu Xu has a very strong desire for power, and is worried that if you are too involved with him in the future, you will suffer disaster with my Tang Dynasty." The emperor slowly explained the reason to the two of them.

The emperor's worries are not unreasonable.

Not much time has passed before, the Gaochang Kingdom was actually controlled by a woman.

A woman is so capable.

Moreover, judging from her control of Gaochang court, Wu Xu's ambition is really quite good.

"Then what are you planning?" Zhao Chen showed no expression on his face.

The emperor frowned.

The more expressionless Zhao Chen was, the more worried he was.

With Zhao Chen's expression, he usually has made a decision in his heart.

Therefore, the emperor's plan cannot change Zhao Chen's decision in his heart.

"Boy Chen, Wu Xu is not so easy to control..."

"When his father entrusted her to me, I will definitely ensure her safety." Zhao Chen interrupted the emperor.

"You want to save her!" The emperor looked a little heavy and his tone was quite unhappy.

"I want to save her!" Zhao Chen spit out four words.

"you……"

"Father, please calm down. The emperor is just concerned about Miss Wu Xu. We just send someone to take Miss Wu Xu back from Gaochang Country." Li Ke quickly persuaded that it was the emperor.

If the two of them continued to say this one by one, they would definitely end up in disagreement.

The emperor didn't speak and looked at Zhao Chen coldly.

Zhao Chen didn't speak either, staring at the wine glass in front of him with an expressionless face.

If Wu Xu is brought back from Gaochang State, he might as well send troops directly to the front line to help Gaochang State resist Tubo.

This will also protect one of your own vassal states.

It can also gain reputation.

"I will definitely keep Wu Xu. What conditions do you have to raise?" Zhao Chen said after a long silence.

"Father, the emperor has compromised. Can you make a request to the emperor?"

"For example, after the emperor rescued Wu Xu, he was not allowed to stay with them."

"Wu Xu is not allowed to appear in the court!" Li Ke advised the emperor again.

Listening to Li Ke's words, the emperor's face showed a slight contemplative look.

The emperor didn't want to have a terrible relationship with Zhao Chen because of Wu Xu's incident.

Before, Zhao Chen was very angry with him because he gave Wu Xu to King Gaochang.

Fortunately, Empress Changsun mediated it.

Otherwise, the two of them would have been resentful in their hearts.

If the two of them are unhappy because of Wu Xu’s incident, they may have dug out the old accounts.

"I can promise you to send troops to aid Gaochang, but you have to promise me two things." The emperor looked at Zhao Chen with a solemn tone.

Zhao Chen did not speak, but waited for the emperor's following.

"The first thing you have to win the bet with all officials before. You must not refuse the position of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty." The emperor looked at Zhao Chen with an expression of indespite.

Li Ke felt a little envious.

In Zhao Chen's eyes, the position of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty is worthless.

The emperor has to make repeated requests.

It is even in exchange now.
