After sighing with emotion about why Li Shimin couldn't change the sneaky way in which these three generals communicated, Xue Wanche came to Xu Yunyan's side.
"Don't pay attention to them, kid. You don't have the ability to fight them now. These people are like this. If they don't like you, they will make things difficult for you everywhere."
Xue Wanche said this, put his arm around Xu Yunyan's shoulders familiarly, and then started talking here.
"I'll go in and pay New Year's greetings to His Majesty in a moment, and then I'll take you to meet His Royal Highness. We people always need to be close to each other."
When Xue Wanche said this, Xu Yunyan nodded hurriedly in agreement.
"General Xue will do whatever he says. I will wait here for General Xue."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Xue Wanche nodded with satisfaction and quickly followed several others whom he did not recognize but were obviously with Xue Wanche. At first glance, they were the confidants of Prince Li Jiancheng who entered the hall to pay Li Yuan New Year greetings.
At this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Xu Yunyan hurriedly took out the small ball that Cheng Yaojin had stuffed in for himself from behind a nearby pillar.
Looking at the small ball in his hand, Xu Yunyan twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Can't you be more reliable and come up with a serious way to convey information? Tiantian is just this little ball.
Haven't I already given you the password transmission method corresponding to the code book? Why are you still using something like this? "
However, Xu Yunyan was complaining here and opened the small ball immediately. However, Xu Yunyan's face turned extremely dark as soon as he opened it.
YY
"Yes, you have learned it, but you have learned it, and I don't have a book here. What is the purpose of passing this little ball to me?"
Looking at the astronomical figures, Xu Yunyan felt his eyes dizzy.
However, looking at the string of codes in front of him that might cause special trouble for him at any time, Xu Yunyan was forced to feel sick. After memorizing the code, he stuffed the small ball directly into his mouth and swallowed it in three times.
"What does this smell like? Ugh!"
But just when Xu Yunyan was feeling sick, Xue Wanche walked out of the hall. Xu Yunyan hurriedly ran up and raised his hand to Xue Wanche.
"General Xue."
Xue Wanche nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
After Xue Wanche finished speaking, he strode in front, with Xu Yunyan following cautiously behind.
Not long after walking, I turned around several courtyards, crossed several palace walls, and arrived at the entrance of the East Palace.
After the guards of the East Palace let him go without any notification, Xue Wanche took Xu Yunyan into the Prince's East Palace.
"It's that guy again, why is he here again?"
As soon as Xu Yunyan came in, Li Shimin's people who had reported the news to Li Shimin and were lurking in the East Palace were complaining there.
"I didn't expect that he is still alive and well."
Xu Yunyan continued to move forward with Xue Wanche, and soon came to the main hall where Li Jiancheng was. However, Li Jiancheng was not the only one in this hall, there were also his cronies, including Qi King Li Yuanji.
After Xue Wanche brought Xu Yunyan in, Xue Wanche was polite to everyone present, while Xu Yunyan had to pay homage one by one.
After watching Xu Yunyan busy for a long time, and finally completing all the due etiquette, Li Jiancheng knocked on the table.
"You have done a good job as a salt and iron transporter. You have taught many new salt and iron transporters for our East Palace. I am very satisfied.
Now that you go to Jiangzhou to serve as the captain of Zhechong Prefecture, you must do your job well and hold all the rights in Jiangzhou in your hands. "
After Li Jiancheng finished speaking, Xu Yunyan hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Prince, don't worry. Your Highness, as long as you have orders, will follow them in the end."
Xu Yunyan didn't seem to say anything else except this sentence, but this sentence was smooth. After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Li Jiancheng laughed, and the people next to him nodded with satisfaction.
"Then go and do your work. After you finish your work, work well in Jiangzhou and achieve great results, I will let you return to Beijing."
Hearing such a sentence, Xu Yunyan hurriedly thanked Li Jiancheng and wanted to show Li Jiancheng how heroic and brave he was and would never betray Li Jiancheng.
However, this way of doing one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes made Xu Yunyan despise herself.
"When did I have such beautiful acting skills?"
But Xu Yunyan muttered,
Li Jiancheng was very satisfied, but before Xu Yunyan could leave, Li Yuanji interrupted again.
"When you get to Jiangzhou, it's not too far from the border with Hebei. You were very popular with the people when you were in Hebei. Remember to reach out to places where you have a team."
Li Yuanji's unreasonable words startled Xu Yunyan.
Does this mean that I am overstepping my authority?
Xu Yunyan glanced at Li Yuanji cautiously, then at Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng nodded to Xu Yunyan.
"King Qi is right, then make more preparations.
You are so capable. You have been a governor before. As long as you do things for me honestly, wouldn't it be easy for you to be a governor again? "
At this moment, Xu Yunyan acted as if he had been hit by a huge cake, hurriedly offering discounts and thanks, and forcing himself to cry.
Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, their confidant Li Gang, Wei Zheng and others looked at each other, smiled and sent Xu Yunyan away.
As soon as Xu Yunyan came out, looking at the excited look, the young man hiding behind the pillar started muttering again.
"What other shameful things have been arranged for you? You are so moved. No, I have to investigate and report the situation."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the place where he was standing. However, Xu Yunyan turned around and looked at the place where the figure originally stood. "It's strange. It clearly felt like there was someone there. Why is there no one there? But the East Palace is heavily guarded. It’s normal for some people to be watching from the dark to ensure the prince’s safety.”
Xu Yunyan didn't think about anything else, pretending to be extremely happy, and quickly left the East Palace.
It was just that Xu Yunyan returned to the Duke Wei's Mansion after leaving the East Palace. In the Prince of Qin's Mansion, after Li Shimin accepted the congratulations of many officials, an official who came to see him thrust a small note into Li Shimin's hand.
Li Shimin opened it and his face turned pale instantly.
"Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji took action again, and they also attracted Xu Yunyan?
Didn’t I already ask someone to win over him? And assigned him a small task.
I want to see if he will be on my side, even though Hou Junji keeps saying nice things to him here. "
