It's night, and Chang'an hasn't slept. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Li Shimin was the first to learn the news that Li Yanqing agreed to go south, but the taste in his heart was mixed.

I thought I would be very happy, but when it came to the end, I was a little disappointed.

It is undeniable that Li Yanqing has brought him too much pressure in Chang'an. Even if Yan Qing didn't do anything out of the ordinary, it made Li Shimin feel like he couldn't breathe. transferred Li Xuanba, took Li Jing away, and broke his right-hand man. And the crown prince took advantage of the situation to rise, and he has gradually controlled the overall situation, and his wings are full...... And now, Li Yanqing is leaving!

But why didn't I feel half happy?

On the contrary, a loss that has never been felt before made Li Shimin feel extremely tired.

It was late at night, and the wind was blowing outside, which made it even more bleak.

Li Shimin stood on the corridor, looking at the withered yellow leaves in the garden, and did not move for a long time.

Behind him, footsteps could be heard.

A large robe was gently draped over his body.

Li Shimin didn't look back, and suddenly asked, "Xiuxiu, did I do something wrong?" ā€

Princess Wen smiled softly and said softly: "King Qin, you didn't do anything wrong!" If you say wrong, you can only say, you are too good! ā€

"Really?"

"The king of Henan is about to leave Chang'an, why are you depressed?"

"I don't know, I've always felt that I should be happy...... Xiuxiu, you may not know that the pressure on me is too great! I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to let him leave Chang'an like this...... We could have been good friends, but why did it become such a-for-tat situation? ā€

Princess Wen didn't know how to answer this question.

"I know!"

Princess Wen said curiously: "What does King Qin know? ā€

Li Shimin sighed, "The world is crowded for profit, and my mistake is that I think Yangzhen and I are the same kind of person." ā€

In fact, Li Shimin is a very utilitarian person!

What works for him, he will go to great lengths to obtain; It is not beneficial to him, and he will never have the slightest pity.

It wasn't a mistake in the first place, but it was a normal choice. When he recruited Chi Jingde, he didn't think too much about Li Yanqing's feelings. To a certain extent, Li Shimin thinks that Li Yanqing is the same kind of person as him...... Justify the means to the end. It's a pity that he didn't expect that Hui Yanqing would make such drastic measures.

One wrong step, one wrong step!

When he wanted to redeem it again, he and Yanqing had become opponents.

Even if Li Yanqing did not clearly express his refuge in the crown prince, Li Shimin also knew that it was impossible for him to accept Yanqing.

Unless...... A thought suddenly flashed in Li Shimin's mind.

But immediately, he shook his head, trying to drive the thought away.

"When are you leaving?"

Princess Wen asked.

Li Shimin thought for a while, "After winter at the latest...... I have to arrive in Kuizhou before the New Year. After that, we still need to make all kinds of preparations, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to celebrate the New Year in Chang'an. ā€

"So, I'm going to pack my bags."

Li Shimin turned around and looked at this woman who could almost be described as a childhood sweetheart, and couldn't help but feel all kinds of tenderness in his heart.

He stretched out his hand and held the princess in his arms.

With a deep and distant gaze, Li Shimin suddenly showed a smile: No matter what, this time I took the lead!

———————————————————— for Li Shimin, driving Li Yanqing out of Chang'an was undoubtedly a correct decision.

As long as Yan Qing is in Chang'an for a day, he will feel an inexplicable pressure. As everyone knows, this is exactly what Yan Qing wants.

Although Chang'an is big, for Yanqing, it is a little small!

The edict has not yet been issued, so Li Yanqing also took the opportunity to sneak a few words.

Once I went to Lingnan, I don't know how to come back. Pei Cuiyun, the eldest grandson Wujian and Xiao Nian couldn't follow. The three sons and daughters also want to stay in Chang'an, if not, how could Li Yuan let Li Yanqing leave with peace of mind?

Therefore, Yan Qing happened to take advantage of the leisure to accompany the family all day.

However, taking advantage of his free time, Li Yanqing invited a group of acquaintances one after another.

For example, Kong Yingda and others, who walked out of the Qilin Pavilion back then, are now also emerging in the court; There are also Dou Wei, Dou Fengjie, Dou Xian and others, who went to visit when they were free. God is unaware of the ghosts, and will make proper arrangements for his henchmen.

For example, Song Lingwen was sent to Beiya.

Wang Zheng's nephew, Wang Hu, was also transferred to Chang'an.

The Xiongwei family opened a merchant in Chang'an, and quickly gained a firm foothold in Chang'an through the relationship between the warriors.

In addition, the eldest grandson Wuji also entered the Chongwen Pavilion under Li Yanqing's arrangement, and the official worshiped the bachelor.

Chongwen Hall belongs to the East Palace, and in this way, Yanqing has gained Li Jiancheng's trust and can ensure that his family is worry-free.

And Zheng Dabiao and Liu Heng also got a good background.

In September of the third year of Wude, Li Daoxuan was ordered to serve as the head of Jingxiang Dao, the governor of Xiangzhou, and the post of assassin history.

At the beginning of his tenure, he asked the imperial court to transfer Xu Shiji and Su Dingfang to Xiangzhou. Li Yuan did not hesitate and agreed to Li Daoxuan's request, named Xu Shiji as the general of Zuo Wuhou and Su Dingfang as the general of Zuo Tunwei, and went to Xiangzhou to assist Li Daoxuan in his actions.

On September 18, Li Yuan issued an edict again, ordering Li Yanqing, the king of Henan, to be the general of Tianxiong, to open the mansion with the three divisions, to give the festival, pass through the 54 prefectures and counties of Lingnan, and place the Governor's Mansion of Annan, and make Li Yanqing the governor of Annan.

After Li Yanqing received the order, he couldn't help but be happy!

"If Your Majesty goes to do business, it will definitely be a million profits!"

Duoduo was curious: "What do you mean by this?" Isn't this official position bad? ā€

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head again and again, and explained to Duoduo: "It's not bad, it should be said that it's very good...... Hehe, but do you know what is going on in the fifty-four prefectures and counties in Lingnan? ā€

Don't say that Duoduo doesn't know, even Li Yanqing himself can't understand.

Pei Cuiyun asked people to take a map of Lingnan, and the eldest grandson Wuji drew a circle on it, "Regionally speaking, this Annan Metropolitan Protectorate almost divides Lingnan Road into two, including nearly half of the Lingnan region. However, most of these areas are wild lands. There are no towns, no villages, and they are controlled by the local indigenous slang. ā€

"Huh?"

"Among the remaining small and half states and counties, such as Jiaozhi, Luzhou, Fengzhou, Fuluzhou, Wu'an Prefecture and other more than ten prefectures and counties, are still under Xiao Miao's rule.

During the opening of the previous dynasty, after Emperor Wen of Sui pacified Jiangnan, he tried to develop these places, so he set up fifty-four prefectures and counties, and recruited Shuai Ning, a slang man from Qinzhou, to enter the court violently. However, due to various reasons, Ning Mengli did not come in the end, but let his son Ning Changzhen enter the Hajj to meet him...... Emperor Wen of Sui attached great importance to the Ning clan of Qinzhou, and also sealed Ning Changzhen as the assassin of Qinzhou. Later, when Yang Guang ascended the throne, he first waged war against Tuyuhun, and then successively used troops against Goguryeo...... So much so that the prefectures and counties in Lingnan are in a state of ruin, and Ning Changzhen has always been in charge of this region. ā€

"Doesn't that mean that this so-called Governor's Mansion of Annan is nothing?"

Duoduo couldn't help but exclaim, "What is the use of raising the truth?" ā€

Li Yanqing smiled and didn't make a sound.

He stood in front of the map, watching quietly, not saying a word.

"You can't say that there is nothing."

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "In fact, in the Renshou period, there was also the early year of the great cause, in order to ensure the development of Lingnan Road, the imperial court even transferred the local emperor Feng Ang to the Central Plains. It's just that after the failure of the three expeditions to Goguryeo, the world was in chaos. Feng Ang took the opportunity to return to Lingnan, so that the development had to be suspended. Nowadays, Qinzhou and Yongzhou still have some foundations.

But beyond that, there are some desolate ...... in other states and counties."

"What desolation, if I had to say, is a mess...... Raise the truth, or you tell Your Majesty, don't go. ā€

Pei Cuiyun frowned, and couldn't help but complain.

"Nothing, and two landlords...... Whether it is a slang person or the Feng family, they have not yet decided their position. Raising the truth in such a bare-handed past, isn't it at the mercy of others? No, it's too dangerous, it's better not to go. ā€

I thought that this Lingnan was a good errand, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Exile is just that, it looks even more dangerous.

Even the eldest grandson Wujian showed a worried look, looking at Li Yanqing, although he did not speak, but her worries were already written in those bright eyes.

"Actually, there isn't necessarily much danger."

Li Yanqing suddenly spoke, pointing to a sea area, "This place is not bad, the products are very rich, and there is a natural ice-free port that can be used." From here, you can get a bird's eye view of the southeast ...... Hehe, if it weren't for that, how could Your Majesty give me such great power? ā€

Hold the festival, the Grand Governor?

This power is like the temperance envoy in the late Tang Dynasty.

If it weren't for such a desolate place, I'm afraid that Li Yuan wouldn't let Li Yanqing go so much.

"Auxiliary, immediately send someone to Luoyang, and ask Chai Gong to send that guy named Funan to Gong County as soon as possible."

Funan is the messenger of the Zhenla country.

This Zhenla country is the Cambodia of later generations.

In the last years of the Great Cause, the lord of the Zhenla Kingdom, Ishana, sent an envoy to Luoyang for an audience.

I didn't think that this Funan didn't see Yang Guang, and it didn't take long for the world to be in turmoil, cutting off his way back to China. As the situation deteriorated day by day, Luoyang Honglu Temple couldn't care about this envoy of the Zhenla Kingdom at all. This Funan is also pitiful enough, after the money on his body is used up, he has to rely on working in Tongyuan City to survive. After the defeat of Luoyang, Chai Xiaohe entered Luoyang as soon as possible, and found Funan, leaving him by his side.

I didn't expect ...... Li Yanqing smiled and said to the eldest grandson: "Guanyin, don't worry, your husband and I are powerful...... Lingnan looks like this, but it is just right for me to show my strength. ā€

At this moment, Liang Laoshi's voice came from outside the house.

"Lord Wang, General Xu sent someone to ask for a meeting in the hall."

Yan Qing was stunned and said, "Shiji sent someone over at this time, could it be something important?"

Auxiliary, you come with me to take a look......"

After that, Li Yanqing took the eldest grandson Wuji out and came to the palace hall.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw an old man and a young man in the hall, getting up at the same time.

The young man was no stranger, it was Ma Zhou.

But the old man in the green robe beside him, Li Yanqing didn't recognize it.

"Ma Zhou, what's going on over there?"

Ma Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Lord Wang, General Xu is fine." Before I came, he and General Su were preparing to leave for Xiangzhou.

General Xu heard that the prince was going to Lingnan, so he asked me to come with Mr. Li.

The general said that Mr. Li was very familiar with Lingnan and could not share the worries of the prince. ā€

Mr. Lee?

Yan Qing looked at the old man in the green robe curiously.

But he saw that the old man was over fifty years old, and his beard was gray. His body is very muscular, and his aura exudes the aura of an army.

Li Yanqingzheng wondered, where did this Mr. Li come from?

But he heard the eldest grandson Wuji beside him exclaim, "Dare it be Uncle Li, General Li?" ā€

The old man was stunned, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji in amazement and said, "You are ......"

"My father, Sun Sheng, I am the eldest grandson Wuji, I met the general at home more than ten years ago."

"Ah, it's a little boy?"

The old man hurriedly stepped forward, but Li Yanqing was dumbfounded.

General?

This person is none other than an official of the Sui Chamber.

The eldest grandson Wuji saw the ceremony, and then introduced to Li Yanqing with a smile: "Yangzhen, you may not recognize the general."

General Li is the nephew of Han Zhuguo, the elder of the Emperor of Kaihuang, and was the general of Zuo Wuwei during the Renshou period, and has a very good relationship with his father...... Uncle Li, this is my sister-in-law, the king of Henan ...... face to face"

Han Baohu's nephew?

Isn't that Li Jing?

Li Yanqing was puzzled, so he saw the old man come forward to salute: "Grass people Li Duan, meet the king of Henan." ā€

"Ah, General Li excuses ......"

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and asked suspiciously, "Dare to ask General Li, do you know Li Jing?" ā€

The eldest grandson, Wuji, couldn't help laughing.

Li Duan also smiled, and he replied: "Lord Wang, Li Jing is Duan's younger brother, he is a pharmacist, and he is a medicine king." ā€

Li Yanqing was dumbfounded......
