Li Chengqian once again did great things in a county. Both the Han people and the original people in the county rushed to tell each other and cried with joy.
They met the unlucky Qingtian who upheld justice for them, and he was also the current crown prince.
It's just that the news spread quickly. After Li Chengqian's thunderous force destroyed two counties in nearby counties, the news finally leaked out.
The civilians who had been expecting the Xiangrui Army to come here to uphold justice for them suddenly became excited when they heard the news.
It turns out that the imperial court has not forgotten them. It turns out that the Holy One has promulgated many benevolent policies for their benefit, but these people are too evil and maliciously distorted these things, preventing them from enjoying the benefits they should enjoy.
Fortunately, there is no need to rush things now. .
The prince has come to deliver justice to them. You will enjoy it sooner or later.
However, these people lamented that they would enjoy such preferential treatment, but some officials were itching to hate it.
"When did this Prince of the Tang Dynasty come to our land? We actually don't know what is going on. What kind of wine bags and rice bags are those who deliver the news? Such news has not been delivered to us. What do they want to do? Eat us. , drink ours, take ours, use ours, and in the end they cheated us like this.”
"Hey! Who says it's not the case! It's so abominable!"
Some local officials kept cursing at the enemies in front of them for making things difficult for them.
But after he cursed a few times, he suddenly came to his senses.
"No, there's something I forgot."
Look at this person who says he has forgotten something. The other officials turned around curiously and asked what they had forgotten.
Everyone turned around and asked their colleague, wondering what they had forgotten, but the colleague hurriedly spoke in front of them.
"I forgot something serious."
Seeing this colleague gasping for air, these people couldn't help but look at him.
"Tell me, what did you forget?"
"This...this..."
Looking at the colleagues who are doing this and that, they are all very popular.
"You're telling me, in this situation, the prince is about to kill us, so what preparations should we make?"
However, after being scolded by others, the official finally reacted.
"Since you all know that the prince is coming to kill, have you cleaned up the tails? All I want to say is these tails. Some people have not been found yet, and we cannot keep them anyway."
As soon as he mentioned the tail, the other people couldn't help but tremble all over.
They can arrange some things to other officials, and some officials have been transferred here for some time, some have died, and some have died unexpectedly during their arrangements.
This is a good scapegoat for them, and the only ones who know about these things now are some of the tails they left behind.
Only by thoroughly cleaning these tails can we ensure that they will not be implicated and allow them to continue to live.
However, just when these officials arranged for their confidants to do such a thing, they had no idea that after Li Chengqian and Hou Junji took control of the new county and regained the people's support, the large-scale Tang army not only prepared for war, but also guarded against possible attacks on them at any time. The rest of the Xiangrui Army who caused casualties have been divided into teams one after another to collect intelligence in various places, preparing to launch a thunderous move to completely eliminate the chaos in the southwest.
Li Chengqian replaced the county magistrate in handling matters in the county government in the county seat, and re-examined all matters that had not been dealt with, whether they were mistakes or when they had occurred, or that others had objections to, Li Shimin The messenger finally arrived belatedly.
"Please see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Seeing the instructions conveyed by Li Shimin to the eunuch closest to him, Li Chengqian did not dare to neglect them.
"Eunuch Zheng didn't know he was here.
What's the matter? What kind of arrangements does the emperor have? "
After Li Chengqian asked, Eunuch Zheng hurriedly watched Li Chengqian withdraw a decree from his arms.
"Your Majesty has decreed that His Highness, the Crown Prince, has full authority to handle all matters in the Southwest. You can do so expediently."
While Eunuch Zheng was speaking, he had already handed the imperial edict into Li Chengqian's hands, and Li Chengqian's eyes immediately shone, and he took over the edict from Eunuch Zheng with a solemn expression.
But before Li Chengqian could say anything, the eunuch opened a wooden box on his back, and there was a sword inside.
"This is the sword that His Majesty used during the battle. It is specially given to His Highness the Crown Prince. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will properly resolve all the affairs in the southwest."
Li Chengqian is familiar with this sword. His father used to have this sword when he was the King of Qin. After going through the Xuanwu Sect, he stayed with him when there was no chance to go on an expedition, and became the emperor's sword, which also witnessed Li Chengqian. An artifact used by his father Li Shimin to rise from the throne of Qin.
After Li Chengqian solemnly accepted the sword and took off the prince's sword from his waist, Xu Yunyan once selected a sword for him cast by a palace craftsman and solemnly replaced it with his father's sword.
"Don't worry, I will handle the southwest affairs properly. If there is any accident, I will spare no effort to minimize the impact."
After Li Chengqian's solemn expression, Eunuch Zheng looked around as if he had something to finish, and once again took out a will from his arms.
Li Chengqian was a little curious when he saw the decree written on the yellow silk cloth.
"Eunuch Zheng, what do you mean by this?"
Eunuch Zheng looked around to make sure it was gone, and then whispered something in Li Chengqian's ear.
"Your Majesty hopes that His Majesty the Crown Prince can deal with the southwest affairs as soon as possible and return to Chang'an as soon as possible. The Emperor's health is not good."
This sentence was like a groundbreaking statement. Li Chengqian took the yellow edict and looked at it. It was not written by his father, but by his imperial grandfather Li Yuan. He missed his grandson.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Grandpa Huang, I'm too lazy. I should have gone to see you before leaving the capital. But before I left the capital, I walked past your palace and was in a hurry so I didn't go to see you. It's my fault, you must You have to wait for me to go back and meet you properly."
Li Chengqian said nonchalantly. Although he felt a little wishful thinking, no one said anything. Eunuch Zheng looked at him to persuade him.
"State affairs are the most important thing, this is secondary. If it really cannot be done, His Highness the Prince will definitely hold on."
Li Chengqian nodded heavily, "I understand. I will definitely put national affairs first. I'm not a child. I know the seriousness of things and won't mess around."
The news that Li Yuan was seriously ill reached Li Chengqian's ears. Li Chengqian was very worried and regretful, but he also thought of his elders and his relatives. This situation could not happen again in the future.
Before his grandfather, there was a master who had a very close relationship with him, and they were almost separated forever. Fortunately, his master solved the Western Turks for the Tang Dynasty, and something happened to the Western Turks in the province again.
However, because his master defeated the Western Turks, he died suddenly at first, which surprised Li Chengqian.
Fortunately, there was good news that nothing happened to his master, which gave Li Chengqian a new thought in his mind.
God bless the Tang Dynasty.
But now he should visit, but Grandpa Huang, who had not visited before going out, had another accident. Li Chengqian was worried and wanted to end the affairs in Southwest as soon as possible and go to meet his Grandpa Huang.
In Chang'an City, Li Yuan's palace was surrounded by many Li Shimin's confidants Xuanjia Army. It was impossible for anyone to come to see him without Li Shimin's order.
In this palace, countless miracle doctors of the Tang Dynasty were treating Li Yuan. After Li Shimin came to the room anxiously, these imperial doctors hurriedly reported the matter in front of Li Shimin. After Li Shimin heard that his father was temporarily not alive, , relieved.
"so far so good."
But just after Li Shimin said a few words, it was okay, he looked at these imperial doctors, looking a little worried, and couldn't help but look at them.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else unexplainable about my father?"
Li Shimin was indeed Li Shimin. Although he didn't listen to what they said, he knew from their faces that things were not as simple as he thought.
After Li Shimin asked, the people in front of him looked at Li Shimin, you looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, someone didn't know who sighed and spoke solemnly in front of Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if I can talk about this?"
After the man said these words, Li Shimin looked at him and said, "Say, there is nothing you can't say. This is related to the safety of my father's life. If you dare to hide your secrets, I will definitely not let you go."
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, the doctor in front of him whispered quietly beside Li Shimin. He heard that his father could be safe in two or three months, but there was absolutely no way to guarantee that he would be fine after two or three months. , Li Shimin couldn't help but turn pale.
"Two or three months? I don't care what methods you use, but you have to wait until the prince returns no matter what. If you can't delay the prince's return, I won't let you go."
Li Shimin had no choice but to speak sternly in front of them, saying that no matter what, he must let his father's life continue until his precious son comes back. However, his precious son did not come to visit his grandpa before the journey. He didn't want to Leave no regrets to your son.
It's even more because the general Li Yuan once favored, Xu Yunyan, who was once the king of Han, was assassinated by Li Ying's champion. According to reliable information, the current King Anbei has met with the Tang army. It is true that as the rumors said, Anbei The king did not die, he just lost his memory due to special circumstances. However, as long as King Anbei returns without any problems, it is the best news.
Li Shimin knew how great Xu Yunyan's contribution was, and Li Yuan also knew how much Xu Yunyan had contributed to his Tang Dynasty. They all wanted to see Li Ying again and express their gratitude, but they didn't want a good thing to turn into a bad thing.
It was originally a good thing that King Anbei of the Tang Dynasty returned, but it was the news of the death of the Supreme Emperor. Although the Supreme Emperor had passed away before, it was a lie after all. Now it has really appeared, although it will not be said openly. , but some people still feel quite uncomfortable.
