Chapter 97: Welcoming the Prince

Chang'an, Shangshu Province.

"Fang Xiang, Fangzhou Thorn Shi sent someone to Beijing and asked to see you." A Shangshu provincial official reported to Fang Xuanling.

The envoy sent by Wang Tingshi to Chang'an, eight hundred miles in an expedited, arrived in Chang'an within a day, and without even taking a break, he went directly to Shangshu Province and asked to meet Fang Xuanling.

"Fangzhou Thorn King continued? What did he send people for? Now is not the time to report to the court. Fang Xuanling said suspiciously.

"It seems that there should be something big happening in Fangzhou, listen to the people below say that the person who assassinated the history of Fangzhou is Chang'an, which is speeding into Chang'an for 800 miles." The official said.

Fang Xuanling was taken aback!

You must know that there are clear regulations for Datang to transmit intelligence, Lu Yi fast horse walks 6 posts a day, that is, 180 miles, and then 300 miles a day, and the fastest requires 500 miles a day; There are clear rules for other water stations and pedestrians.

What level of intelligence should be transmitted in what way, that is all a rigid rule, and no mistakes are allowed.

In the event of a mistake, the messenger and the relevant personnel will be severely punished.

It's no wonder that Fang Xuanling was so surprised!

What's going on in Fangzhou? Wang Xu actually used an eight-hundred-mile expedited! Suffice it to prove the seriousness of the situation.

Fang Xuanling didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly said, "What about people? Bring him to me. ”

"No!" The official received the order, got up and trotted out of Shangshu Province, and brought the envoy of Fangzhou Assassin History, who had been waiting to see Fang Xuanling, to Fang Xuanling.

"Something happened in Fangzhou?" Fang Xuanling didn't say anything polite to him, and asked bluntly.

"I came to Chang'an, and there was a letter to be forwarded to Fang Xiang." The messenger said, took out a sealed letter from his body, and handed it to Fang Xuanling.

"Letters? What's written in it? What did Wang Xuke say to you? Fang Xuanling took the letter and didn't rush to open it.

"Wang Tingshi said that this matter is a big matter, everything is written in my heart, and after Fang Xiang has seen it, it will be clear." The messenger said.

"Wang Xu didn't say anything else!" Fang Xuanling said.

"Nope." The messenger affirmed.

Fang Xuanling peeled off the sealing mud on it and opened the letter, after Fang Xuanling read it, he was very shocked, followed by a burst of ecstasy.

The letter only wrote five big characters - the prince is in Fangzhou.

Fang Xuanling put away the letter and said, "I know the meaning of Wang Xu's letter!" You go down first! ”

"No!" The envoy got up to take his leave, and left Shangshu Province under the leadership of the officials of Shangshu Province.

"Someone!" Fang Xuanling shouted outward.

"What do you command?" Immediately, a servant walked in and saluted.

"You quickly go and invite Yang Shidao, the Zhongshu Ling, as well as the Ministry of Works, the General of the Right Guard, and the Prince's Right Guard to invite Li Daliang." Fang Xuanling commanded.

The prince's affairs in Fangzhou are very important, and he is not easy to make decisions alone, so he invited these two people to come over to discuss how to welcome the prince back to the palace.

Fang Xuanling was worried that Li Chengqian would not come back, which was obviously his overthinking, at this time, Li Chengqian, who was far away in Fangzhou, already had the intention of returning to Chang'an.

"No!" The officials were ordered to retreat!

Soon, Yang Shidao and Li Daliang appeared in front of Fang Xuanling, and Yang Shidao asked.

"Xuan Ling, what are you calling me Da Liang for in such a hurry?"

"See for yourself!" Fang Xuanling didn't say it directly, and handed the letter from Fangzhou Thorn History to Yang Shidao.

After Yang Shidao saw it, he exclaimed: "The prince is in Fangzhou? ”

"It shouldn't be fake! This was sent by Fangzhou Assassin Shi for 800 miles. Fang Xuanling said: "Two, what should we do?" ”

"What else can I do! Of course, it is to take the prince back to Chang'an. Li Daliang said.

He was in charge of the two palaces, the emperor and the crown prince, and the prince suddenly left Chang'an, which he did not expect.

It was his dereliction of duty that Li Daliang was not optimistic about the prince, and he naturally hoped that the prince would be invited back to Chang'an as soon as possible.

It is not only Li Daliang who hopes that the prince will come back immediately, Yang Shidao and Fang Xuanling don't want the prince to return to Chang'an safely.

Picking up the prince back to Chang'an is their common goal.

The prince Bai Arowana was out, and they were worried that without the protection of the forbidden army, with a few people around the prince, it was inevitable that nothing dangerous would happen.

If the prince has any strengths and weaknesses outside, it will be a major event that shakes the country's foundation, so welcoming the prince back to Chang'an is their first priority.

But here's the problem! How should the prince return to the palace willingly, if the prince is unwilling, how to deal with it, you can't use force directly against the prince!

"Take the prince back to Chang'an, that's for sure, the key is how we can make the prince willingly return to Chang'an with us." Fang Xuanling said.

Li Daliang was a little embarrassed, as a military general, leading troops to fight is his strength, if he relies on his incorruptible tongue to persuade others, he really can't do this.

Li Daliang had no choice but to look at Fang Xuanling and Yang Shidao, and playing tricks was their strength.

Speaking of truth, Li Daliang is really not their opponent, Li Daliang's gaze examines back and forth between the two, and finally freezes on the body of Yang Shidao, the Zhongshu Ling.

He, Li Daliang, still has to stay in Chang'an, guarding the palace and the East Palace, and can't leave Chang'an.

Fang Xuanling was appointed by His Majesty Li Er to stay in Chang'an to assist the crown prince in handling the government affairs, and Fang Xuanling still had to run the state apparatus and could not get out.

Therefore, among the three of them, only Yang Shidao was able to leave Chang'an and go to Fangzhou to pick up the prince back.

Yang Shidao is the secretary of the court and the uncle of the prince, whether it is his identity or his relationship with the prince, he is the best candidate.

Yang Shidao himself also has this meaning, after all, the crown prince slipped away from him, if there was no hunting outside the city.

The prince would not leave Chang'an and go outside to play, if he hadn't agreed to hunt or follow the prince, there would have been no such thing.

Without waiting for Fang Xuanling and Li Daliang to speak, Yang Shidao took the initiative to ask: "I'd better go!" Anyway, if it weren't for my negligence, the prince would not have been able to run out of Chang'an and go outside to play, and I have the responsibility to bring the prince back. ”

"Good! The matter of welcoming back the prince will be handed over to Zhongshu Ling. Fang Xuanling said, Yang Shidao was able to take the initiative to ask for help, which saved him a lot of tongue.

"Then I will select an elite soldier from the forbidden army to escort you to Fangzhou, and ensure the safety of the prince on the way back." Li Daliang said.

The main thing is that he is afraid that Li Chengqian will run away again, and with so many forbidden troops following, even if Li Chengqian does not come back, he can still protect his safety.

"Without further ado! You go and prepare immediately, and it is urgent to welcome back the prince. Fang Xuanling said.

"Farewell!" Li Daliang and Yang Shidao got up and saluted, turned around and walked out of Shangshu Province, and went back to prepare.

After Li Daliang went back, he immediately ordered a thousand elite soldiers in the forbidden army, prepared to drive and wait, and only waited for Yang Shidao to come over for a round.

After Yang Shidao went back, after simply packing up his things, he took his wife, Princess Changguang, to Fangzhou together.

With Princess Changguang on her side, Yang Shidao was more confident in persuading the prince to return to Chang'an.
