The situation in the hall was reversed by Cheng Chen's words. Originally, he was the scapegoat, and Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Chong were the victims. But now, Zhangsun Wuji was forced to kneel and beg for forgiveness by Cheng Chen.
It had to be said that Cheng Chen's operation was really too impressive.
All the civil and military officials present secretly gave Cheng Chen a thumbs up. At the same time, they envied Cheng Yaojin. For a boorish man like Cheng Yaojin to have such an outstanding son, it was really the virtues of his ancestors!
Cheng Yaojin was naturally very pleased with himself." Good boy, you've really made your father proud. When we get home, I'll reward you with a roasted pig!”
Li Er looked at Zhangsun Wuji, who was kneeling on the ground to beg for forgiveness, and felt more and more emotional. This little guy was really not simple. To be able to make Zhangsun Wuji kneel and admit his mistake was something that all the civil and military officials in the court could not do!
Most importantly, this kid was only eight years old. He had such sharp thinking and courage at the age of eight. If he was an adult, how amazing would he be?
Now, Li Er admired Cheng Chen more and more. If he had only liked Cheng Chen's appearance and personality before, then he had more talent now.
Zhangsun Wugou was also amazed by Cheng Chen's performance. This brat was really getting more and more powerful.
"Empress." Li Er turned to Zhangsun Wugou and asked with a smile,""How do you think we should handle this matter?”
Zhangsun Wugou smiled." Your Majesty, Cheng Chen is protected by the laws of the Great Tang, so he naturally cannot be punished. As for Minister Zhangsun…"
"Your Majesty, please consider his many years of meritorious service and spare him this time. Let him study the Tang laws properly after he returns home to avoid any future mistakes.”
Li Er nodded. He was very satisfied with Zhangsun Wugou's suggestion. No matter what, Zhangsun Wuji was also the one who had been wronged. He could not really punish him.
"Minister Zhangsun, please rise. I will not pursue this matter in consideration of your many years of service. After you return, you must familiarize yourself with the laws of the Great Tang.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!”Zhangsun Wuji knelt down and stood up.
After getting up, Zhangsun Wuji also lowered his head. Today was really too embarrassing. He did not have the face to face his colleagues in the court.
"Your Majesty, what should I do?”
Zhangsun Chong appeared again. He cupped his fists and kowtowed." Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Changle and I grew up together. Our hearts were connected, and we could have had a happy marriage.”
"But I didn't expect this to happen. I beg Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress to make a decision for this lowly official!”
Hearing Zhangsun Chong's wail, Li Er and Zhangsun Wugou felt their heads ache again.
This matter was really too difficult. It was impossible to continue the wedding, nor was it good to cancel the wedding. It was really a dilemma.
Zhangsun Chong was still a little smart. Seeing that Li Er and Zhangsun Wugou were in a difficult position, he hurriedly cupped his fists and said,"Your Majesty, Empress, I don't care about Princess Chang Le's past.”
"I implore Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, to allow me to renew my engagement with Princess Changle!”
Did Zhangsun Chong really not care about Li Lizhi and Cheng Chen?
How could he not care? He was a man, so it was impossible for him not to care.
However, Zhangsun Chong had no other choice. If he didn't marry Li Lizhi, he would lose even more face.
Moreover, marrying Li Lizhi was good for him. In the future, he would be the emperor's son-in-law, and his status would be greatly improved.
For the sake of his career, Zhangsun Chong could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
When Zhangsun Chong said this, Cheng Chen was very surprised. Could this be the earliest bootlicker? How could he endure such humiliation?
I really have to hand it to you. However, you're not qualified to snatch my woman!
Li Er and Zhangsun Wugou did not expect Zhangsun Chong to plead to continue the engagement. This made them even more unsure of what to do.
Li Lizhi had just slept with Cheng Chen, and now she was going to marry Zhangsun Chong. This was ridiculous.
However, there had to be a reason to reject Zhangsun Chong!
But what reason could they have? Zhangsun Chong didn't even care, so what else could they say?
"Imperial Father, Imperial Mother!" Li Lizhi stood up." I have no feelings for Zhangsun Chong. I will never marry him."”
"Moreover, your son is now Cheng Chen's man, so it's even more impossible for him to fulfill the engagement. If father and mother insist on letting your son marry, then your son can only die!”
"Zhi 'er, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhangsun Wugou berated," Don't spout nonsense!”
" Mother..." Li Lizhi looked at Zhangsun Wugou aggrievedly. Zhangsun Wugou glared at her fiercely. Helpless, Li Lizhi looked at Cheng Chen again.
Cheng Chen smiled and took a step forward." Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't think Zhangsun Chong is qualified to marry Princess Changle."”
"Zhangsun Chong is not good at literature and martial arts. He has no contribution to the country and the people of the world. How can he get the pity of Princess Changle?”
"Moreover, Princess Chang Le and this subject are already intimate. This subject will never let Princess Chang Le marry Zhangsun Chong!”
"I beg Your Majesty, Your Majesty, to annul the marriage between Zhangsun Chong and Princess Chang Le and allow Princess Chang Le to marry me!”
"What?" When Zhangsun Chong heard that, he immediately exploded. He glared at Cheng Chen," Don't go too far. I've already let you off the hook, but you still want to snatch Princess Chang Le from me?"”
"You…you're really audacious!”
"Investigate my crimes?" Cheng Chen rolled his eyes at Zhangsun Chong in disdain." His Majesty and the Empress are not pursuing me anymore. What right do you, a good-for-nothing, have? What shameless boasting!"
"Zhangsun Chong, take a good look at yourself. Other than relying on your father, what else do you have?”
"How can a playboy like you marry Princess Chang Le? He was really a dung beetle that had flown to the heavens, overestimating his own strength!”
Zhangsun Chong's face turned red from Cheng Chen's insults. He was extremely embarrassed and angry." You! You! How dare you!"
"I don't have the right to marry Princess Chang Le, but do you have the right?”
"You're just an eight-year-old brat. Your hair hasn't fully grown!”
"Is that so?" Cheng Chen raised his eyebrows and moved closer to Zhangsun Chong. He whispered,""I haven't grown all my hair yet, but I've captured Princess Chang Le.”
"What about you? All the hair was gathered, but it was useless!”
This sentence hit Zhangsun Chong's lungs, and blood trickled out from the corner of his mouth.
"Cheng Chen, I'll fight it out with you!"
With a furious roar, Zhangsun Chong reached out to grab Cheng Chen's neck. Cheng Chen didn't even bother to look at him. With a wave of his hand, Zhangsun Chong fell to the ground.
Ding…Divine Punishment Selection!
1. Challenge Zhangsun Chong and defeat him to obtain the Manchu Han Imperial Feast Recipe!
Second, challenge Zhangsun Wuji and his sons and obtain the God of Cooking skill, which includes all the cooking skills in history, in China, and in the world!
Oh? Another choice?
The corners of Cheng Chen's mouth curled up as he turned around to face Li Er and Zhangsun Wugou.
"Your Majesty, Empress, since Zhangsun Chong is unwilling to let go, I have a suggestion that can resolve this matter.”
"Oh?" "What suggestions do you have?" Li Eryi raised his eyebrows and asked.”
Cheng Chen smiled." Since Zhangsun Chong and I both like Princess Chang Le, let's have a competition. Whoever wins will get Princess Chang Le's pity."”
Hearing this, Li Eryi felt that it was feasible, so he asked,"Zhangsun Chong, are you willing to accept the challenge?”
"Why not?" Zhangsun Chong got up from the ground and glared at Cheng Chen." I accept your challenge. I want to take back Princess Chang Le fair and square!"”
"You?" Cheng Chen rolled his eyes at Zhangsun Chong in disdain." Don't say that I'm bullying you. All four of you can come at me together. As long as one of you wins against me, I'll admit defeat!"”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the court was shocked!
What a joke, an eight-year-old kid challenging four adults!
The other was the current prime minister!
Is he crazy, or are we crazy!
