Luo Cheng died young and didn't have time to pass down his family's martial arts to Luo Zhao.
Moreover, Luo Zhao was born with a poor constitution, and he often had a weak appearance to the outside world. He was despised by Zhangsun Chong and the other noble children.
But in front of him, that usually weak youth actually sent three strong palace guards flying!
What kind of power was this?
How could Zhangsun Chong and the other noble young masters not be shocked?

Wei Zheng was surprised 10
…
In Luo Zhao's mind, notifications kept ringing out, and his Emotional Value points kept rising.
"Your Majesty, this Luo Zhao seems to be quite strong.”
Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin with a strange expression.
Li Shimin's anger subsided a little, and his interest was piqued. He glanced at Left Guard General Li Junxian.
He wanted to test Luo Zhao.
"How dare you defy the imperial edict, Luo Zhao!" Li Junxian snapped.”
With that, Li Junxian shot forward, his towering figure blocking Luo Zhao's path.
His movement technique was extremely fast. In the instant he arrived, his hand had already pressed down on Luo Zhao's shoulder and pressed down hard.
Zhangsun Chong laughed inwardly.
Li Junxian was the commander of the Feathered Forest Guards, his martial arts extraordinary, comparable to generals like Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong.
This light press of his had a force of a hundred jin. It would be strange if Luo Zhao didn't kneel on the spot.
"Hmm?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Li Junxian's stern face.
Luo Zhao remained motionless.
Li Junxian frowned and suddenly increased his strength.
However, Luo Zhao was like a boulder. No matter how hard he tried, he could not even move his body, let alone kneel down.
"How can this kid have such strength?”
Li Junxian paled in shock and stared at Luo Zhao in disbelief.
Luo Zhao's gaze was indifferent as he slightly shook his shoulders.
Bang!
A hidden force exploded out, pushing Li Junxian back five steps.
"He actually sent Li Junxian flying? How is that possible?”
"Isn't that Luo Zhao usually so weak that he can't even stand a gust of wind?”
"Could it be that he has always been hiding his strength?"
"After all, he is the son of Jade Face Cold Spear.”
There was an uproar in the surroundings.

Li Junxian's rage 10
Zhangsun Chong's horror 10
…
His emotional points continued to soar.
"So this is the power to withstand a cauldron? It's indeed powerful. I only used 30% of my strength…"
Luo Zhao, however, ignored the astonishment of the people around him. He lowered his head and looked at his arms, muttering to himself as if no one else was around.
Li Junxian pressed down on his sore arm and glared at Luo Zhao, his eyes filled with shock and fury.
The dignified commander of the palace guards was forced to retreat by a youth, and it was in front of the emperor.
Where was his face?
Luo Zhao's nonchalant attitude made him feel as if there was a knife on his back.
Whoosh ~~
Unsheathing his sword, Li Junxian was going to get serious.
"Junxian, step down!"
At this moment, Li Shi Min shouted.
Li Junxian was furious, but he didn't dare to act rashly and could only retreat hatefully.
Li Shi Min looked at the handsome young man in front of him. The anger in his eyes had disappeared, and the admiration and curiosity in his eyes became even stronger.
To be able to force Li Junxian back was enough to make Li Shimin's eyes light up.
The Emperor of the Great Tang was a wise ruler who loved talent as much as his life.
"Luo Zhao, why did you admit it?" Li Shi Min stroked his short beard and asked.
Luo Zhao cupped his hands." Because I believe that Your Majesty is a wise ruler of a generation. You will never punish me for my unintentional mistake."”
The words 'wise ruler of a generation' made Li Shimin feel comfortable.
Luo Zhao was neither servile nor overbearing, his calm temperament made Li Shi Min admire him even more.
"Your Majesty, the hunting ground is like an enclosure. Arrows have no eyes, and there are risks. Luo Zhao accidentally injured the princess, and now he dares to admit it.”
Wei Zheng stood up again to remonstrate.
"Luo Cheng, could it be that this son of yours is really a piece of unpolished jade buried in the sand? I was careless previously…"
Li Shi Min cursed in his heart, his eyes becoming more and more subtle.
Pondering for a while, Li Shi Min laughed,"Good, good, good. As expected of a tiger father, a dog son. Luo Zhao, you are indeed the son of Jade Face Cold Spear. You didn't embarrass your father!”
Li Junxian paled.
Zhangsun Chong was stunned.
They had never expected that Luo Zhao had injured Princess Changle and the Royal Guards. The emperor had not punished him, but he had praised him!
"Luo Zhao, since you have inherited your father's position as Duke of Yue, from tomorrow onwards, Zhen will allow you to sit in the court and participate in state affairs.”
Li Shi Min's words caused a commotion.
Even Luo Zhao was slightly shocked, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Although he inherited the title of Duke of Yue, he was still young and had neither fame nor qualifications. Naturally, he was not qualified to participate in court discussions.
But now, Li Shimin had made an exception and allowed him to enter the court!
Given his age and experience, this was the first time in the history of the Great Tang.
What an honor!
Everyone could not understand.
Zhangsun Chong was especially confused. How did Luo Zhao go from a scapegoat to a favored official in the eyes of the emperor in the blink of an eye?
"The Great Tang is full of talented generals, but most of the younger generation are mediocre. This child seems to be a potential talent. How can I let him go…"
Li Shi Min had his own plans.
He had to consider the future of the Great Tang.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Luo Zhao cupped his hands in gratitude. Although he was a little surprised, he was still as calm as water and did not look flattered.
"Unfazed by favor or humiliation, yes, I was not wrong.”
Li Shi Min stroked his beard and nodded. He looked at the handsome young man in front of him with appreciation.
Then, he saw Zhangsun Chong secretly staring at Luo Zhao with jealousy.
Recalling how Zhangsun Chong had reported Luo Zhao's actions, and seeing how jealous Luo Zhao was now, Li Shiming's impression of his nephew was greatly reduced.
"Zhangsun Chong, zhen is very disappointed in you!”Li Shi Min said in a deep voice.
Zhangsun Chong was shocked and sweat poured down his forehead. He stood awkwardly on the spot, not knowing what to do.
Li Shimin did not want to reprimand Zhangsun Chong for the sake of Empress Zhangsun, so he ordered the carriage to return to the palace and rush to visit Princess Changle.
At this moment, a noblewoman rode her horse and rushed into the hunting ground.
"Mother!"
Luo Zhao's expression changed. He recognized the woman who had barged in. It was his mother, Shan Yingying.
Li Shi Min was also curious. He sat back on his throne and watched Shan Yingying rush over and bow in front of the Emperor.
Shan Yingying took out a scroll from her bosom and raised it high. She said loudly,""My late husband, Luo Cheng, had once agreed with His Majesty that Zhao 'er would marry Princess Changle when he turned sixteen.
The marriage contract is here. ChenQie has come specially to propose marriage for Zhao 'er.
Your Majesty, please bestow the marriage as promised!"
