Suizhou, the temporary residence where Li Chengqian stayed.
Circle after circle of Forbidden Army soldiers surrounded the mansion on three floors inside and three outside. After ensuring absolute safety, a eunuch in the middle of the courtyard read out Li Shimin's decree in a mellow voice.
Li Chengqian took the lead, followed by Xu Yunyan, and after that, the four kings under Li Chengqian were kneeling here, listening to the orders of Han Wang Li Yuanchang to be dealt with in an expedient manner, which was similar to what Xu Yunyan said.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Li Shimin was really casual, as long as it didn't affect their reputation. This was not stated by the firm that Changsun Wuji wrote to.
But isn’t this too crazy? This kind of words should be written directly in the imperial edict, wouldn't it be okay to write a letter?
After the imperial edict was read out, Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin's absolute confidant eunuch who came to deliver the edict, and quietly took a step forward.
She secretly told him what she was thinking, and then stared at him from here.
"I wonder if father-in-law can remember it?"
"Don't worry, Prince, I have taken note of it, and I will go back and explain it to His Majesty. I didn't expect that His Highness, the Prince, would be so bright that he would come up with a solution so quickly."
When the eunuch praised him like this, Li Chengqian looked at him and said, "Okay, remember, you can't convey the wrong message no matter what. If your father gets the wrong meaning, you will be in big trouble."
Li Chengqian was here to give instructions to the eunuch who passed the order. The eunuch here said that even if he forgot who his biological parents were, he would never forget Li Chengxian. After these words, Li Chengqian was very suspicious and looked at him up and down. After a while, just say, do you really know who your parents are?
But just after Li Chengqian sent the group of forbidden troops who were delivering the edict to leave, he swaggeringly took a blank edict and wrote whatever he wanted, and pretended to bring the soldiers to the palace of King Han.
As for King Li Yuanchang of Han? When I heard the people outside the door saying that Qin Huaiyu had left temporarily, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"It seems that they don't dare to make trouble in front of their own mansion. I thought I was very powerful, but it turned out that I was just looking at it."
Then Li Yuanchang continued to act recklessly in his mansion, but he was not worried about his authority being affected now.
Li Yuanchang was comfortable and dressed in his maid's clothes. He finally used up his resentment. He got up again and came to the door. He directly faced the servants who were guarding the door and looked a little unnatural. Wave.
"Open the door. I'm going to go hunting. I've been suffocating in the mansion for a while. There's not much good food to eat. I'm going to go out to catch some game and see if there are any pretty girls."
Li Yuanchang said this. Although the two servants were worried here, they still obeyed Li Yuanchang's order, opened the door and let Li Yuanchang out.
But as soon as Li Yuanchang came out, he saw a few prince guards and soldiers standing at his door. However, Li Yuanchang did not take it seriously and continued to walk out. However, although these people were not of high rank, they did not have a prominent status, and they did not have much depth. background, he still resolutely stood in front of Li Yuanchang.
Li Yuanchang couldn't help but get angry when he saw them.
"You are blind. I want to go hunting, but you dare to stop me?"
When Li Yuanchang got angry, these guards were still a little worried, but they still did their job and talked here.
"His Royal Highness, King Han, you should just stay in the mansion honestly. You can't get out without His Highness the Crown Prince's order!"
This suddenly made Li Yuanchang angry, and he was shouting here.
"Come, come quickly. Go to Suizhou Zhechong Mansion and call their captain Suihe to me and ask him to bring someone to escort him. I want to go out hunting and drive them all away."
Li Yuanchang was shouting here, but before the servants in his mansion could carry out Li Yuanchang's orders, a group of people from a distance had already arrived in a mighty manner. At the forefront was a group of Prince Guards and soldiers who were on full alert.
After they arrived, they hurriedly surrounded the gate of Prince Han's Mansion again in an offensive posture. Looking at Li Yuan who was trying to rush out,
Chang confronted him, and Li Yuanchang became even more angry when he looked at them.
"What do you want to do? I am the King of Han, your Majesty's biological brother, the Supreme Emperor's biological son, and your Crown Prince's biological uncle."
While Li Yuanchang was shouting here, a voice sounded from behind him.
"Uncle Wang, you are so powerful!"
As this voice sounded, another group of prince guards rushed over and lined up neatly.
After the formation was completed, the left and right separated to make way for a passage, allowing Li Chengqian, who was speaking, to walk in stride.
Li Chengqian just came in and looked at Li Yuanchang, and Li Yuanchang also looked at him.
"Li Chengxian? It's you! Are you so ignorant of etiquette that you can't be polite when you meet your uncle?"
After Li Yuanchang said this, Li Chengqian cupped his fists and said, "Chengqian has met Uncle Wang here."
But after Li Chengxian finished speaking, before Li Yuanchang could feel proud here, Li Chengqian said again.
"His Majesty's decree comes, and the King of Han will accept it."
As Xu Yunyan bowed and came closer to Li Chengqian with a bright yellow scroll in his hand after he said these words, Li Chengqian grabbed it directly, regardless of Li Yuanchang's expression now? Open it directly in front of him.
After Li Chengqian opened the imperial edict, he looked at Li Yuanchang, "King Han, why don't you hurry up and accept the edict?"
Under Li Chengqian's questioning this time, Li Yuanchang knelt down reluctantly.
"The king accepts the order."
He still looked arrogant. Although he was kneeling, anyone could see his unruly attitude.
Li Chengqian didn't pay attention to anything, but was talking here.
"The fiefdom of Han King Li Yuanchang is too small."
This sentence stunned Li Yuanchang.
"Ah? Is there such a decree?"
The group of guards next to them who heard the order were stunned. Is this the order? Never heard of it!
But before they could discuss much here, Li Chengqian started talking here.
"The King of Han's fiefdom is Xinzheng. I feel uneasy and have specially given one of the four islands of the Eastern Japanese Kingdom as King Han's new residence. The area of Ci Island is more than ten times larger than that of Xinzheng. Please ask King Han to visit this island as soon as possible. It has the power of life and death on the island." , everything is decided by King Han’s words.”
After Li Chengqian said these words, Li Yuanchang didn't care where the island was, there were only a few words in his mind.
This new fiefdom was ten times the size of Xinzheng, which meant that its territory was ten times larger, and there was a sentence in the imperial edict that made him very satisfied.
The power of life and death depends entirely on one's own words.
King Han suddenly became happy here.
"Okay! That's great. I didn't expect His Majesty to care about brotherhood so much. I must do well and never let down His Majesty's expectations."
After Li Yuanchang said this, he was about to come to receive the order, but before he could snatch the bright yellow scroll from Li Chengqian's hand, Li Chengqian had already put the scroll away.
"Uncle Wang, this is not for you. There is someone else's will in it, and you are just a part of it. When it is all read out, this will will still stay here with Cheng Qian."
Li Chengqian said this, but King Han didn't say anything more.
"Okay, I don't know where my territory is, how do I get there?"
After King Han asked, Li Chengqian looked at Xu Yunyan again, and Xu Yunyan took a step forward.
"His Royal Highness, King Han."
Li Yuanchang snorted coldly when he saw Xu Yunyan not even looking at him.
"what do you want to say?"
"Your Highness, King Han, please be patient. Your Highness the Crown Prince has sent people to Qiongzhou to issue orders and arranged for the navy to go north and take the waterway from Luoyang to pick up Your Highness King Han to your new fiefdom."
When Xu Yunyan said this, Li Yuanchang laughed happily.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has done well."
Li Yuanchang gave a rare compliment, and Li Chengqian didn't pay attention to Li Yuanchang's intention. Instead, he looked at Xu Yunyan with a stern face, waiting for an explanation.
Xu Yunyan shook his head and told Li Chengqian not to express his opinions for the time being. This made Li Chengqian feel even more uncomfortable.
The navy in Qiongzhou are all excellent ships. If they were mastered by Li Yuanchang or the Japanese pirates, imitating them would cause a lot of trouble to them in the Tang Dynasty.
After receiving the order, Li Yuanchang was not in the mood to go hunting. He returned to his mansion leisurely and closed the door directly. This also surprised Li Chengqian, Xu Yunyan and others.
After Li Yuanchang left and closed the door, Li Chengqian came to Xu Yunyan anxiously.
"Master, what's going on? How can we mobilize the Qiongzhou Navy? This is a navy that has cost a lot of assets to build!"
Li Chengqian looked at Xu Yunyan anxiously here, and Xu Yunyan chuckled.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Has His Highness forgotten that I killed a lot of pirates and captured some small boats when I went to Annan? There is no problem in giving three or five of these small boats to His Highness the King of Han. Everyone in the palace pretended to be shipped all the way to the island country."
Li Chengqian reacted at this moment, but looked at Xu Yunyan talking here again.
"It's just that Master, you didn't tell me about the boat you captured? You went to Annan to capture it after I left, right?"
Xu Yunyan was scratching his head here all of a sudden.
"This... Your Highness, this is not an important issue. You are the crown prince of the country. I don't need to bother you with all these little things, right?"
Xu Yunyan felt a little embarrassed here, but Changsun Chong who was next to him finally seized the opportunity.
"Is there anything else that needs to be arranged? If there is no arrangement, I will go there in person right now. I will definitely convey the order thoroughly and will not let Qiongzhou Zhechong Mansion make any self-righteous decisions."
When Changsun Chong said this, everyone looked at him.
"That's not a bad idea."
Li Chengqian heard that Xu Yunyan agreed with Chang Sun Chong to go out, and looked at Chang Sun Chong and warned him.
"Cousin, I'll help you."
Changsun Chong didn't expect that he would get the task after asking for orders, so he was here patting his chest.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, there is General Li, no Master Li, you are our master now. I will never embarrass you, master, and I will definitely do this properly."
Changsun Chong spoke loudly, and Xu Yunyan looked at him happily and nodded with a smile.
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin were not happy.
"Why did such a good task fall on you? But it's a long and tiring journey. Can your little body bear it? I'd better go."
Cheng Yaojin's son Cheng Chumo was preparing to make a joke here again, and Yuchi Baolin also said after Cheng Chumo finished.
"You still have to protect His Highness the Crown Prince's safety. I'll take care of that. I'm thick-skinned and can withstand the long journey."
Changsun Chong, who was originally very proud, watched the two people fighting here, and looked at Xu Yunyan with fear.
"Master, this is really my order to snatch it first! Your Highness the Crown Prince must comply with it."
"You go, but you also have to pay attention to your health. Don't be in a hurry. The bumps and bumps in the boat will cause problems. There will be many times in the future that I will count on you."
Xu Yunyan felt a little helpless. Having too many disciples was not a good thing.
"Do not worry."
After Li Chengqian watched Xu Yunyan speak, he did not refute Changsun Chong, and did not agree to let Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin snatch it.
Changsun Chong glared at the two men with gloating, then selected his soldiers and prepared to go south.
