Chapter Twenty-Three: The Blockade of the Palace

Following.

Hall of Eternal Life.

Li Xi stretched.

There is news from Shu that under the leadership of several princes, the disaster situation in Shu has improved significantly.

At least, the people of Shu will not starve to death.

Li Ci was in a good mood.

The disaster in Shu has always been Li Xi's heart disease.

Shu is uncertain for a day, and Li Xi is unstable for a day.

Li Ci knew very well in his heart that if the problem of Shu was not handled well, it was very likely that it would harm the entire Tang Dynasty.

...

Shudi.

King Liang and others personally presided over the disaster relief and maintained order at the disaster relief site.

Seeing the victims receiving food in an orderly manner, King Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the reason why the disaster relief went smoothly was that King Liang and other princes played a great role.

When the victims of Shu saw the Tang Dynasty, they actually came to Shu in person, and under the scorching sun, they distributed food to them, and the resentment in their hearts was unconsciously reduced.

After all, the people of Datang have a very heavy concept of respect and inferiority.

In their opinion, the prince of the Tang Dynasty is a golden body, and it is enough to be able to come in person regardless of the danger.

The prince personally presided over disaster relief, which is very rare in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

Night.

King Liang and the others returned to the Taishou Mansion tiredly.

"According to the current progress, before the end of the year, the disaster will probably be calmed down, and by then, we can also go back to Chang'an and have a good year. ”

King Xu sighed with emotion.

During this time, several of their princes went out early and returned late, and there was almost no time to rest.

The Tang Dynasty prince has always been pampered, when did he suffer like this?

It's just that no one offered to back down.

One is because the emperor gave them a death order, and they did not dare to retreat.

The second reason is that King Liang leads by example.

If King Liang doesn't retreat, if they, the princes, retreat, won't they lose the face of the royal family?

"King Liang, in fact, we don't need to work so hard!" King Xu glanced at King Liang and couldn't help but say.

Li Zhen, the king of Liang, raised his eyebrows: "You still don't understand?"

"What do you understand?" The other princes were slightly stunned, their faces full of puzzlement.

King Liang pondered for a moment and said, "I did this not only because of the emperor's order, but also because of my own future!"

"Future?"

Xu Wang and the others were even more puzzled.

The princes of the Tang Dynasty have royal blood and are nobles.

However, among the Li royal family, there is an ancestral precept that the princes of the Tang Dynasty are not allowed to hold military power.

The purpose of this is to limit the internal friction of the royal family.

Prevent princes from having thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Moreover, the princes of the Tang Dynasty were not allowed to have close personal relations with the ministers.

Therefore, although the princes of the Tang Dynasty seem to be high, they actually have no real power.

As for the future...

The princes of the Tang Dynasty were born to stand at the pinnacle of their status.

No future is needed.

Li Zhen, the king of Liang, took a deep breath and said, "You haven't realized that Your Majesty today is very different from the previous emperors?"

"Your Majesty today, decisive in killing, arbitrary, in just over a month, the last dynasty has done so many things that emperors of all generations did not dare to do!"

"If Your Majesty can see what we are capable of, maybe... Maybe I will wait for the princes, and one day, I will be able to dominate one side like a general on the battlefield, without having to nest in Chang'an City, and be an idle prince who is waiting for death to retire!"

As soon as Liang Wang Li Zhen's words fell, the expressions of the other princes changed.

If there is a choice, as a Tang Dynasty boy and a child of the Li family, who wants to be a caged bird?

It's just that... The ancestral precepts are like this, who dares to disobey them?

Plus the King of God is unpredictable.

The ministers were also taboo.

This ancestral precept has been maintained to the present day.

But if...

If it is really like what King Liang said, His Majesty is a heroic lord who dares to break all rules and regulations...

Maybe it's really possible, as King Liang said...

As soon as he thought of this, several princes became short of breath!

...

...

East Plant.

Cao Zhengchun slapped several Dongchang guards to death with one palm!

"It's been three days!"

"For three days, the shadow of the remnants of the Demon Sect has not been found, you waste, and you !! face to come back."

Cao Zhengchun was angry and anxious, and the roar spread throughout the entire East Factory.

The guards of the East Factory knelt down one after another, allowing Cao Zhengchun to vent his anger.

Cao Zhengchun's eyes were blood-red, and the aura of gods and demons was permeated, like a poisonous snake, overlooking the people in Dongchang.

Within three days, at least half of the people in Dongchang died under Cao Zhengchun's rage.

However, even so, three days have passed, and there is still no trace of the remnants of the Demon Sect!

These remnants of the demon gate seem to have evaporated from the world.

"What went wrong?"

"In the entire Chang'an City, is there anything missing?"

Cao Zhengchun calmed down, and his mind raced.

In the past three days, not only have the guards of the East Factory been like mad dogs, thoroughly investigating the entire Chang'an City, but he, the overseer of the East Factory, has not been idle.

The residences of all the ministers of the DPRK and China, as well as any place where people might be hidden, Cao Zhengchun personally surveyed them.

It's just that nothing has been discovered.

"What's going wrong?"

Cao Zhengchun's eyes were cold, and he kept sweeping over the overseers who were kneeling on the ground.

"Back to the Overseer, have the remnants of the Demon Gate already entered the palace?" asked one of the guards kneeling on the ground.

In the past three days, they have searched the entire Chang'an City.

There is only the Imperial Palace, and the East Factory has no right to search.

"Impossible!"

"If the remnants of the Demon Gate had already entered the palace, now that three days have passed, they should have already started to act. ”

"But in the past three days, the palace has been calm, and I haven't heard of anyone being assassinated!"

Cao Zhengchun squinted his eyes and said.

If the remnants of the Demon Sect really infiltrated the palace, they would definitely do it as soon as possible, otherwise, the longer it was delayed, the greater the possibility of exposure.

Therefore, the people of the Demon Sect must not have infiltrated the palace yet.

"Report to the Overseer, my subordinates have a suggestion, I don't know if I should say it or not. The Overseer, who had begun to speak, said stiffly.

"Say!" Cao Zhengchun frowned.

"Since the remnants of the Demon Gate have not infiltrated the palace, we might as well seal the palace first, and anyone entering and leaving needs to go through strict identity verification. ”

"In this way, the remnants of the Demon Sect will not be able to enter the palace, and even if they do it, the impact will be much smaller!"

The Dongchang overseer swallowed his saliva and continued: "And, while blocking the palace, we continue to search Chang'an, and after a long time, these remnants will inevitably be exposed..."

After the Dongchang Inspector finished speaking, he looked at Cao Zhengchun uneasily.

Cao Zhengchun listened to the words of the guard and fell into a deep groan.

"What's your name?" Cao Zhengchun looked at the guard, a smile on his face.

"Subordinate..."

"The subordinate is named Du Kang!"

"From today on, you are the deputy overseer of the East Factory, except for the miscellaneous family, you have the highest status among the East Factory!"

After Cao Zhengchun said this, he glanced at the other guards: "What are you still kneeling for?"

"Don't block the palace for the miscellaneous family yet!"
