Chapter 1339: Blooming Peonies
Zhao Chen didn't believe that the emperor would give him Wu Qi a letter so kindly.
It was his arrangement that married Wu Qi to Gaochang.
Zhao Chen said without realizing that the emperor changed his mind at this time.
I brought Wu Xi’s letters just to tell you to ask for help.
After being asked by Zhao Chen, what else could the emperor do besides smiling awkwardly!
He also knew that with Zhao Chen's intelligence, he would not be unable to think of the source of his own affairs.
No matter how embarrassed you are, you still have to say something about the main thing.
"Where did you know about the Qizhou riot last time?" the emperor and Zhao Chen asked.
"The news from the Ministry of War said that the local Zhechong Prefecture was mobilized to suppress it." Zhao Chen said casually.
Li Jing told him about this when he came to the college to teach last time.
Zhao Chen just listened.
The emperor nodded, and even Fang Xuanling and the others didn't know about the news of the riots in Qizhou.
Only Li Jing, the Minister of War, knows it.
"The situation in Qizhou is very strange. Qizhou is a wealthy place, but this year's taxes are ranked at the end of the prefectures of the Tang Dynasty."
"There is no reason for this riot in Qizhou."
"In addition, the thug leader who was escorted from Qizhou the day before yesterday was intercepted and killed in a valley a hundred miles away in Chang'an City."
"The four yamen runners responsible for escorting the prisoners also lost their lives." The emperor and Zhao Chen talked about the situation in Qizhou.
"Four yamen runners are responsible for escorting the bandit leader?"
"The Qizhou Governor's Office is also a little too big." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
The rioters leader was a serious sinner.
Generally, the local Zhechong Mansion is responsible for sending people to escort.
There were at least ten soldiers from the Zhechong Mansion who escorted the prisoners.
The four yamen runners clearly meant that they were deliberately trying to die!
"I suspect that the Qizhou Governor's Office did it on purpose." The emperor expressed his suspicion.
He looked at Zhao Chen again.
Zhao Chen was slightly stunned and said, "You don't want me to go to Qizhou to investigate this matter."
"I won't go!"
The emperor was about to nod, but when he heard Zhao Chen say that he wouldn't go, his face turned a little ugly.
"There has been riots in Qizhou, and the situation must be very serious."
"If it may be done well, it is the corruption in the entire Qizhou officialdom, and even the rebellious things are done."
"If I go over, wouldn't I bet on the dead end?" Zhao Chen told the emperor about his worries.
Four yamen runners and two bandit capitals were intercepted and killed. It was obvious that these two bandit leaders knew some secrets that were unspeakable.
Officials in Qizhou or Chang'an did not want the emperor to see them.
That's why this is the worst.
If Zhao Chen dived into the whirlpool of Qizhou, it would be boring.
When the emperor heard Zhao Chen's words, he naturally understood Zhao Chen's worries.
But except for Zhao Chen, the emperor really couldn't imagine that anyone could take on this great task.
"Boy Chen, you see that I have personally delivered Wu Qi's letter to you. How about you help me?" The emperor had no choice but to move and persuade Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen didn't get into oil and salt.
Wu Yu's letter was not asked to go to Qizhou to cause trouble for himself.
Zhao Chen didn't speak, but he was so anxious that the emperor was so anxious.
The situation in Qizhou is not clear, how could the emperor not worry?
"Boy Chen, tell me, what do you want to go to Qizhou?" The emperor stood up and looked at Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen glanced at the emperor and remained silent.
The emperor clenched his fists, and Zhao Chen was the best candidate in his heart.
If Zhao Chen doesn't want to go.
He really couldn't think of any other way.
"Chen..."
"It's not impossible for me to go, but you have to go with me."
Just as the emperor was about to speak, he suddenly heard Zhao Chen say this.
The emperor was stunned. He didn't quite understand why Zhao Chen wanted to go to Qizhou with him.
Moreover, if the emperor had not been in Chang'an, officials in Qizhou would inevitably not be wary.
Isn’t this just a warning to the enemy?
"Boy Chen, wouldn't that be..."
"If you really want me to go to Qizhou, just go with me, otherwise you should find someone else." Zhao Chen interrupted the emperor and said lightly.
The emperor stood there in a daze.
He still doesn't quite understand what Zhao Chen means.
"By the way, if you decide, you will scold all the ministers in the court at the court meeting tomorrow."
"Besides, I am going to go to Qizhou to investigate this matter in person." Zhao Chen explained to the emperor again.
The emperor was very confused. When he went back, his mind was also in chaos.
...
When the emperor left, Zhao Chen returned to Zhao Mansion in Chang'an.
Disassemble the letter from Wu Zi.
At the beginning of the letter, Zhao Chen was scolded and said that he had not sent a letter to himself for so long.
Sure enough, I didn't think about her martial arts at all.
Afterwards, the letter asked Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang to say hello to her, and everything was fine in Gaochang.
He also talked about his longing for several people.
At the end of the letter, a blooming peony flower was painted.
Li Ruoshuang happened to have brought Ping An back from the Duke of Wei's mansion. When he saw Wu Yu's letter, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Zhao Chen, when will Xiao Wu come back?" Looking at the familiar handwriting on the letter, Li Ruoshuang and Zhao Chen asked.
"After we go to Qizhou and then clean up Goguryeo, we will go and pick up Wu Yu back." Zhao Chen hugged Ping'an and said to Li Ruoshuang.
Li Ruoshuang was very alert to discover that Zhao Chen said he wanted to go to Qizhou.
And, it's about us.
"We are going to Qizhou?" Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen in confusion.
"Yes, our family has never been out together. This time we happened to go to Qizhou to have something to do, so we will take you there together."
"Do you want to go?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
There was no real intention to go to Qizhou with Li Ruoshuang.
Just asked her if she would like to go.
"Go, of course." Li Ruoshuang nodded repeatedly.
She and Zhao Chen have always been together.
This time, Zhao Chen took the initiative to take her out with him, and Li Ruoshuang was very happy.
"Dad, I'll go too." Ping'an said, pulling Zhao Chen's hand.
"Where are you going?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile.
"Where Dad goes, Ping An goes," Ping An said in a silence.
Zhao Chen pinched Ping'an's nose and said to Li Ruoshuang: "You can reply to Wu Qi's letter."
"Let her take care of herself outside and don't say anything else."
"I will write a letter to Lao Huang later, and you have someone send the letter together."
Li Ruoshuang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Zhao Chen never told Wu Xi that he would go to Gaochang to pick her up.
It's not as good as she's looking forward to it.
Without expectations, there will be no disappointment.
Wu Xi can also rely on himself to grow up in difficulties.
Zhao Chen did not write a letter to Wu Xi, so that Wu Xi could understand that everything was depended on herself outside.
Zhao Chen will not bring her any help.
Writing a letter to Lao Huang, he asked him to protect Wu Zi in secret.
Li Ruoshuang sometimes doesn't understand what Zhao Chen's attitude towards Wu Zi was.
