Everyone is an old acquaintance, especially at this time, it is appropriate for them to come over and say hello.

"I've been busy lately, so I wanted to come to my brother's place to take a rest." Cheng Chumo reacted and immediately thought of an excuse.

"Yes, sister-in-law, let's come here to rest for two days and then go back when the spring hunting starts." Qin Huaiyu also helped to cover up the lie.

Li Ruoshuang naturally didn't think much about it. These two guys usually went to Zhao Mansion to look for Zhao Chen.

Even those guys who don't follow the rules are lucky.

"Luo Tong is here too. Let's talk. I'll make some breakfast. Vice President Wei, it's time for you to get up!" Li Ruoshuang smiled with a few others and turned to knock on the kitchen door.

"This old man Wei..." Cheng Chumo looked surprised.

Before he finished speaking, he saw Wei Zheng coming out of the kitchen with his hands behind his back.

"Hey, why are there so many people here today?" Wei Zheng was quite surprised by the arrival of several people.

"Yes, come here to play for a few days." Cheng Chu silently agreed, with a trace of anxiety flashing across his face.

Naturally, they didn't come here to play with Zhao Chen.

There are still a lot of things to be busy with at the Spring Hunting Grounds.

If they hadn't heard the news, they wouldn't have come here so eagerly.

But with Wei Zheng here, Cheng Chumo didn't know how to speak for a moment.

Qin Huaiyu patted Cheng Chumo on the shoulder and shook his head with him.

"Tell me, what's the matter with coming here to see me?" Zhao Chen naturally saw the two people's little actions and asked directly.

"Nothing, I just came to see you." Cheng Chumo immediately shook his head in the negative.

I'm still worried that Wei Zheng will hear about this.

"Oh, I am old and despised by others. Then Zhao Chen, you guys can chat first while I go to the village for a walk." Wei Zheng was very smart and knew that Cheng Chumo and the others didn't want him to listen.

He simply stood up and walked towards the village.

Zhao Chen glanced at Wei Zheng, his eyes moved slightly, and shouted, "No need, Old Wei, you are not an outsider either. Sit down and listen together. We will have breakfast together later."

Wei Zheng turned around and glanced at Zhao Chen. Seeing that there was no other abnormal expression on Zhao Chen's face, he couldn't help showing a look of joy and said, "The relationship is good, I like to hear interesting things."

Zhao Chen smiled and thought that this was not a good thing.

At least if it was really a good thing, the three of them wouldn't have arrived so early in the morning.

"Cheng Er, go ahead and let everyone listen." Zhao Chen and Cheng Chu nodded silently.

Although he didn't understand why Zhao Chen asked Wei Zheng to listen to this matter, since Zhao Chen agreed, he didn't care so much anymore.

"Yesterday when Qin San and I came back from the western suburbs of Chang'an, someone gave us a note. The note said that Cui Yan went to the East Palace yesterday."

"This Cui Yan is the head of the Boling Cui family, and Li Chengqian..." Cheng Chu glanced at Wei Zheng silently, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he continued.

"The relationship between the Crown Prince and Mr. Zhao is not good. Because of Mr. Zhao, the family's power has been reduced a lot before. In the court, it is not as powerful as before."

"These two people are your enemies, Zhao Da. If Cui Yan goes to the East Palace, he probably doesn't have any good intentions."

"When I was leaving the city, I happened to meet Luo Tong again. I heard from him that there were many unknown assassins in Cui Mansion."

"Qin San and I were worried that they might treat you..." Cheng Chumo said this and did not continue.

We are all smart people, and everyone knows exactly what we mean when we say this.

This was also taking advantage of Li Ruoshuang's absence, otherwise Cheng Chumo would not have dared to say such things.

They all know Li Ruoshuang's character.

I have never tolerated being bullied by others.

If she really knew that the prince and Cui Yan were going to kill Zhao Chen, she would not rush to their house and kill them.

"Cheng Chumo, you can't say this nonsense. How could Prince Rende do such a thing?" Wei Zheng believed it.

Maybe I don’t want to believe it.

He knew that the prince had conflicts with Zhao Chen, but he would not directly cooperate with the Boling Cui family to put Zhao Chen to death.

If something really happened to Zhao Chen, with the emperor's attitude towards Zhao Chen, would he let the murderer go?

"If Li Chengqian was truly benevolent, would he embarrass his husband in the academy?" Qin Huaiyu was somewhat dissatisfied with Wei Zheng's defense of Li Chengqian.

"That's just out of emotion, it should be..."

"Is it motivated? Then who knows whether the prince will be motivated this time and make up his mind to deal with Zhao Da?" Qin Huaiyu retorted again.

"Master Wei, Luo Tong found out before that the prince had personally visited the Cui Mansion. Since then, there have been many strange faces in the Cui Mansion, and everyone has a sharp aura about them."

"After those people arrived, Cui Yan went to see the prince."

"On the contrary, after Mr. left Chang'an, there was no movement from the prince. Until yesterday, Cui Yan went to the East Palace again, and then someone conveyed the news to the two of them." Luo Tong and Wei Zheng said while cupping their hands.

His tone was calm and he was just discussing the matter.

"Li Chengqian is quite interesting. Is he sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight? Or maybe he wants to sell it to me?" Zhao Chen smiled, with a strange look on his face.

"You said the news was leaked by Li Chengqian?" Cheng Chumo's expression changed, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.

"Cui Yan has gone to the East Palace. Except Luo Tong, who will keep an eye on Cui Yan's actions, who will care?"

"If Li Chengqian had not taken the initiative to remind you, no one would have known about it." Zhao Chen explained.

"I always thought that Li Chengqian was still young. Although he wanted to stabilize his position, his methods were still a bit immature. This time, he taught me a lesson."

"Old Wei, what should I do about this matter?" Zhao Chen's eyes fell on Wei Zheng and asked slowly.

Wei Zheng didn't know that Zhao Chen was just testing himself by asking this question.

But that is the prince after all, and behind the prince there are emperors and empresses.

After all, there is no gain in fighting the prince.

"Zhao Chen, listen to me. Go back to Chang'an City and invite the prince to a banquet. I will mediate for you two. You really don't want to..."

…

Chapter 391 Let Li Shimin take off directly

In the Tai Chi Hall, looking at the Tuntian doctor kneeling in front of him, Li Shimin realized that he was not as angry as he thought before.

He waved his hand and asked Qian Niuwei to pull him out and chop him down.

A dignified farm doctor, a fifth-rank official, dared to secretly conceal reports on farming affairs in various places.

In the southern region of Datang, half of the area

, it didn’t rain a single time throughout the spring.

Some of the soil in the ground is dry and cracked.

Fortunately, there are many rivers in the south, and last year the Ministry of Industry was asked to spread the manufacturing method of barrel carts to various parts of the Tang Dynasty.

But this dry climate is the root cause of the locust plague.

At first, the farm doctor just thought it was an ordinary drought, so he suppressed the matter and did not report it. Unexpectedly, more and more memorials were written about this matter.

After that, I felt that if I reported it, it would be a dead end.

Thinking that maybe God would be merciful and there would be no disaster. Unexpectedly, the emperor directly asked Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to investigate the matter.

"Duan Lun, what do you have to say?" Li Shimin looked at Duan Lun, Minister of Industry, with an expressionless face.

Duan Lun felt like he was walking on the tip of a knife at this moment.

Once this locust plague breaks out, the emperor will not be able to sacrifice himself to heaven???

"Your Majesty, I have failed to supervise you well and I am guilty of a heinous crime. I would like to resign from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and I will listen to your Majesty." Duan Lun immediately asked Li Shimin to resign.

Although I feel reluctant to give up, the locust plague is unavoidable like this. Instead of staying here and letting the emperor worship heaven, it is better to resign and run away.

Anyway, I am getting older and there is no possibility of going further.

Take good care of yourself while you still have a few years to live.

It's also delicious.

As the emperor, Li Shimin could not understand Duan Lun's thoughts.

These guys want to run away when something happens.

Nothing like Zhao Chen, who always helps give him ideas.

Li Shimin thought of Zhao Chen for no reason, and then thought of Zhao Chen's deliberate alienation from him. He felt a little unhappy and his face became gloomy.

Duan Lun thought the emperor was furious, otherwise his face suddenly fell.

This made me feel uneasy, and cold sweat broke out on my back.

"Duan Lun, you are a veteran of the imperial court. You are still inseparable from the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, but you are also involved in the affairs of the Tunliang Langzhong."

"I won't go too far and punish you too much. I'll fine you two years to see the consequences."

The emperor's gentle handling made Duan Lun sigh in relief, but he was also extremely surprised.
