Li Er couldn't help being disappointed.
He waved his hand and told people to leave.
After everyone leaves.
He first planned to ask Chen Chu for a question.
Then he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I trust Chen Chu too much. Although Chen Chu is a genius, this matter involves the stability of the Tang Dynasty. Useless..."
"Sigh, no one can see through the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but Chen Chu, an outsider, can see through."
"Chen Chu, this kid..."
As he spoke, there was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
The ministers around him, be it Wang Gui or Changsun Wuji, are all pillars of the imperial court and people of great talent.
But, they are all old.
No more ambition.
Originally, Li Er was worried that the imperial court would fail to accept talents, but now it seems that this kind of worry is unnecessary.
He rubbed his brows, and suddenly asked: "How is the eldest princess being taken care of these few days?"
A eunuch came over and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial guards have been strictly guarding the Princess Garden. Without His Majesty's order, the eldest princess is not allowed to leave the palace. The eldest princess has not left the palace for half a month..."
Li Er thought for a while, and said: "Remove everyone, Li Zhi must have understood my painstaking efforts, she will not run out of the palace privately again."
The eunuch hurried down to make arrangements.
Less than half an hour.
The little eunuch rushed in and reported in a flustered manner: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the Eldest Princess has quietly left the palace..."
Li Er stared at the memorial in his hand, nodded, and said nonchalantly, "Oh, I see..."
……
On the tower of Chunming Gate.
On the entire city tower, there was no longer a soldier standing guard.
Everyone ran away.
Because, just a quarter of an hour ago, the city guard saw with his own eyes that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Tang Empire walked into the room where Chen Chu lived.
God!
There is such a thing.
Although the eldest princess and Chen Chu had a marriage contract, they were not married after all, and according to the rules, they could not meet privately.
If you met privately, you must have read it wrong.
So he dismissed all the people around him.
After all, if one fails, I'm afraid they will be murdered, after all, it's about the face of the royal family.
house.
Warmth.
Li Lizhi smiled and told Chen Chu what happened in the palace in recent days.
The biggest thing that happened in the palace was that Li Er summoned one-third of the courtiers to comprehend Chen Chu's words.
After hearing this, Chen Chu was suddenly dumbfounded: "I'll go, are they serious?"
He just said that sentence casually.
Anyway, in later generations, it will be rotten.
Who would have thought that he would be treated like a baby by Li Er, and so many people would be summoned with great fanfare to come to enlightenment.
This... Good guy, is it a little bit off track?
Chen Chu was speechless

Chapter 207 The Disappeared Wei Zheng
The next day.
Tai Chi Temple.
This is the place of the Great Court Meeting.
All the civil and military ministers gathered.
Seeing that morning is about to start.
Li Er suddenly saw that among the ministers standing in the front, Wei Zheng was gone.
Wei Zheng is his most capable assistant and his right-hand man.
Li Er was naturally worried, so he asked: "Every Aiqing, do you ever know why Wei Aiqing is not here?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one knew where Wei Zheng had gone.
Could it be some accident?
After all, Old Wei is also getting old.
It's freezing cold today, maybe I'll get sick or something.
The ministers were talking.
When Li Er heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, so he said: "Come here, go to Wei Aiqing's residence quickly, and find out the reason why Wei Aiqing didn't go to court..."
If Cheng Yaojin didn't come to court, Li Er would suspect that this guy was lingering in Pingkangfang yesterday, and forgot to go to court after getting drunk.
If it was someone else, Li Er would suspect that he was lazy and didn't come to the morning court.
But Wei Zheng didn't have these possibilities.
Wei Zheng is diligent and diligent, and can be said to be the most diligent person in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, without seeing Wei Zheng, Li Er was worried that something had happened to him.
The little eunuch who went to Wei Zheng's mansion to find out the news came back soon and reported: "Your Majesty, I went to Mr. Wei's mansion in person. Mr. Wei's family said that Mr. Wei went out early this morning before dawn. As for where it went, I still don't know..."
Li Er frowned suddenly, and said: "Everyone loves you, Wei Aiqing is the most loyal courtier in the court. He went out before dawn. He presumably came to the morning court, but now he is not seen. I am afraid that something happened to him. Unexpectedly... Immediately send Jingzhao Mansion and Wuhou Shop, as well as the Imperial Army, to search for Wei Aiqing throughout the city..."
"Yes!"
The ministers agreed immediately.
The morning court was also delayed.
Everyone is waiting for news.
……
In a short time, the city of Chang'an was flying around.
The Yamen servants of Jingzhao Mansion, Wuhou of Wuhoupu, the Imperial Army, and even Baiqisi were dispatched.
Everyone is looking for Wei Zheng.
at the same time.
On the tower of Chunming Gate.
Chen Chu was eating breakfast.
boom.
The door of the room was suddenly knocked open, and a figure appeared in front of him panting.
The person who came was wearing a long robe, panting heavily, and there were frozen drops of water on his hair.
It was Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng took a breath and hurriedly rubbed his hands together, but it was still not warm enough, so he leaned in front of Chen Chu's tin stove, and while warming up, he said complainingly: "Boy, I thought you were in Lu Guogong's mansion, and you went out before dawn. I went to Lu Guogong's mansion but I didn't meet you. That boy Cheng Chumo dared to lie to the old man that you were outside the city. Before it was time to open the city gate, the old man ordered the city guard to open the city gate. He went out of the city to have a look, but he couldn't find you. You... good boy, it turns out that you are enjoying yourself here."
Chen Chu was dumbfounded.
Old Wei is old, and I heard that he is not in good health.
It was hard for him to go back and forth, even in the freezing weather.
Chen Chu hurriedly asked his servants to bring Wei Zheng warm rice wine for the night.
This is the sweet wine that Chen Chu personally asked the cook to make. In this cold winter day, there is nothing better than having this kind of sweet wine to warm your stomach.
As soon as Wei Zheng took a sip, he was astonished.
He repeatedly praised it as a delicacy in the world, and drank several bowls without knowing it.
After drinking the sweet wine, Wei Zheng said: "Boy Chen, to tell you the truth, the old man came this time to ask for advice."
Chen Chu was startled, stood up quickly, and said modestly: "Master Wei, you're such a brat, I'm just a kid from the countryside, I don't understand anything, so why would I let you come to ask for advice."
As he spoke, he smiled slightly and looked at Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng was taken aback.
Heart said: This kid really holds a grudge.
Isn't it just that in the civil and military school of the Manchu Dynasty, the old man looked down on you, Chen Chu, and said that you were born in the countryside and didn't understand anything?
Everyone else almost forgot.
But Chen Chu still remembered.
Wei Zheng was also open and aboveboard, he didn't say it was a misunderstanding or anything like that.
He stood up, bowed deeply to Chen Chu, and said: "Chen Chu, it was the old man's fault before. Back then, you came from the Qinling Mountains, and you were unknown, but you did many marriages and made a private appointment with the eldest princess." Lifetime, I have a lot of complaints about you, but the conscience of heaven and earth, when you later took out the auspicious things like potatoes, as well as good things such as grenades and iron smelting, the old man has already looked at you with admiration, and dare not despise you anymore As for you... If you have complaints about what the old man said back then, well, you should scold the old man too."
Old Wei dares to act!
Chen Chu waved his hand: "Master Wei, you are serious. You are a veteran of the court and have a good reputation. If I scold you today, many people will come to scold me to death tomorrow. Besides, even if the father knows it, you can't help it." You can't spare me... Forget it, this matter has changed."
Seeing Wei Zheng's nervous and excited look, Chen Chu felt it was funny.
Just don't care about it.
Wei Zheng didn't seem to have opposed Chen Chu in anything other than this matter.
Seeing this, Wei Zheng was overjoyed.
He smiled and said, "I'm not mistaken about you. With your broad mind, you are already far superior to other youths in my Tang Dynasty..."
Chen Chu said without a word: "Master Wei, don't talk about such high-profile things. You should talk about it. You have been tossing back and forth so early in the morning just to find me. Why?"
Wei Zheng blushed a little, and said: "Chen Chu, His Majesty summoned the important ministers of the court yesterday to read carefully what you said in the Ganlu Palace, that is, there are policies above and countermeasures below. This sentence is to alert Your Majesty, to alert all officials in Chinese, Chinese and military. Not long after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, officials from all over the country have already appeared to disobey orders or misinterpret the imperial government's decrees. If things go on like this, the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed here In the hands of moths. Your Majesty asked me to think about how to prevent it, but unfortunately, the old man is ignorant, and he didn't sleep last night, but he didn't have any clues, so he came to ask for advice."
Chen Chu: "..."
He had heard Princess Li Lizhi of Changle talk about the Ganlu Palace yesterday, and he was skeptical at the time.
But now from Wei Zheng's mouth, it is probably true.
He was speechless.
Isn't it just an easy to understand sentence?
How come it has risen above the gains and losses of the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty?
This……
Seeing Wei Zheng's eager eyes, Chen Chu said in a deep voice, "Master Wei, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, that sentence is actually... nonsense from me."
However, Wei Zheng shook his head in conviction: "Impossible, that sentence, even Kong Yingda's Confucian classics can't be fully understood by anyone, and it was only through the hard thinking of the ministers, how could it be a nonsense, Chen Chu, you At a young age, you are about to become a son-in-law, so you still have to think hard for the country and the country. You must not be a person who seeks fame. People are useless..."
Wei Zheng tried his best to persuade Du He.
