"Your Highness, do you want to send a letter to Your Majesty?"

Chang Yan accompanied Li Chengqian to the front of the dormitory where he lived and asked for instructions.

Li Chengqian pondered for a while and replied: "No, this matter was done by Brother Sheng'er, if you want to play the emperor, he should also be on the table, and wait for him to wake up tomorrow." ”

"Yes, the old slave understood, and the old slave retired."

Chang Yan understands what Li Chengqian means, this is a credit, and it can even be said to be a great credit.

Li Shimin's task of asking Zhang Zheng to come to Jinyang was just to find out those mysterious people who were hiding in the shadows to make trouble.

Now it is only the second day of arriving in Jinyang, and Zhang Zheng has not completed the main task now, but has taken the Taiyuan Wang family under his command for Li Shimin.

With this credit, even if Zhang Zheng's task is not completed in the end, Li Shimin will only value Zhang Zheng more.

Because compared with the Taiyuan Wang's surrender, whether or not you can find out those mysterious people is not so important.

Li Chengqian's meaning is that since the credit is made by Zhang Zheng alone, then even if he wants to show the credit, Zhang Zheng should play it alone.

Now everyone knows that Chang Yan is a pair of eyes that Li Shimin planted in the Jinyang Qincha team, and Li Chengqian's implication is that he doesn't want Chang Yan to interfere.

"Let's go."

Li Chengqian waved his sleeves and stepped into his bedroom. There are other palace maids who wash Li Chengqian's wide clothes.

Listening to Li Chengqian's instructions, Chang Yan bent down and saluted and disappeared into the darkness.

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Zheng, who was still asleep, was woken up by Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian carefully inquired about Zhang Zheng's trip to Taiyuan yesterday and how he fought wits and courage with Wang Yuan's old fox.

Zhang Zheng told Li Chengqian how heroic and wise he was.

After all, people who can fight against opponents of Wang Yuan's level and get what they want in the end can be said to be rare.

That is, Zhang Zheng, who is also the inventor of movable type printing and the leader of the Tang Dynasty Royal Academy.

If you are a different person, you may not even be able to enter the gate of the Wang family if you are a little thin-skinned.

So in this case, it is indeed worthy of Zhang Zheng's pride.

"The next thing is to wait for the news of the Wang family with peace of mind, I estimate that they will have to digest this matter internally for several days.

Moreover, the Wang family is not only the branch of Jinyang, but also the branch of Qi County.

However, I predict that in three to five days at most, Wang will inevitably give us an answer. ”

Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian went out of the gate of Jinyang Palace, and on the night of their arrival in Jinyang, Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an County, died, and Zhang Zheng did not catch up with Li Chengqian to mourn.

Now when you go out of the city, you naturally go to the palace, after all, this Jinyang Zhang Zheng has come here, and it is not good to know that a county king has died and not to mourn.

The two were followed by hundreds of disguised soldiers and palace maids.

Wherever Li Chengqian travels, common sayings and strictness are always indispensable.

One of them is the former chamberlain of Taiji Palace who Li Shimin ordered to wait for Li Chengqian, and the other is the young eunuch left behind in Jinyang Palace.

Li Shimin is not there, and Li Chengqian is their master.

Therefore, the figures of the two naturally followed Li Chengqian inch by inch.

The two did not choose to ride a horse or take a carriage, on the one hand, Li Shentong's mansion was not far from Jinyang Palace.

On the other hand, after all, it is to mourn a county king and walk to show respect.

The two walked while talking, and unconsciously came to the mourning hall of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an County.

Li Shentong is also a prince in the end, and the funeral naturally can't be too shabby.

Li Shentong was in the apse of Jinyang Palace, but the funeral was held in the Huai'an Palace, located in the north of the city.

Zhang Zheng looked around, and the entire palace fell into a state of sadness.

Unlike Fang Xuanling, Li Shentong's body was not buried so quickly.

It is still necessary to wait for Chang'an to come, announce the mourning after death, and what specifications will be used to bury it, and how to inherit the title, etc.

Today is only the third day since Li Shentong's death, and the distance between Jinyang and Chang'an, even in a straight line, is more than 2,000 miles.

The person who reported the funeral was eight hundred miles around the clock, and at this time he would go to Puzhou at most.

In addition, the journey from Chang'an to here will take half a month at the earliest. In other words, Li Shentong's body needs to be suspended for at least twenty days.

And Li Chengqian, now as the highest-ranking person in the Li clan in Jinyang, it is his proper meaning to visit this deceased uncle every day.

But Li Chengqian's identity is the crown prince, strictly speaking, he is a king, and Li Shentong is an elder, but he is also a minister.

Therefore, Li Chengqian came, that is, he went through the motions, burned some paper on incense, etc., but no one really dared to ask Li Chengqian to guard Li Shentong's spirit.

Li Chengqian and Zhang Zheng ignored the complaining eyes of the other sect elders, and after lighting an incense candle for Li Shentong's spiritual position, they also left the Huai'an Palace.

As for those sect elders, Li Chengqian is not even interested in taking a second look now.

"Where next?"

After leaving the palace, the two stared at each other, and suddenly felt a little confused.

Now that Li Chengqian's affairs have been completed and Li Shentong has died, the power of Zongzheng Siqing has been withdrawn by Li Chengqian, and the titles of those sect elders have also been stripped away.

The officials who participated in the grain corruption case were also taken into Chang'an by Wei Zheng and Yang Shou for questioning.

Now in the Assassin's Mansion, Wei Zheng and Yang Shou are performing the duties of the Assassin of a state.

Only Zhang Zheng has not yet found that group of mysterious people.

But both of them had no doubt that when the internal meeting of the Taiyuan Wang family ended, the Wang family would definitely give an explanation to the two of them about the whereabouts of those people.

Therefore, the two of them have nothing to do now, and they belong to idle people in society.

And this is only the third day that the two of them came to Jinyang. The real Qincha team has not yet entered Jinyang City.

"Count the days, Duan Heng and they should arrive tomorrow."

Li Chengqian counted the days with his fingers, no matter how fast they were, they were at most three days ahead of the Qincha Brigade led by Duan Heng.

After all, when the two of them set off from Jinju, the large army was actually only three days away from Bingzhou.

Let's come to Jinyang to quickly cut through the mess and get things done, but I'm afraid that General Duan will run away in vain, and if they go back, they will not be punished by His Majesty. ”

Zhang Zheng also remembered that there seemed to be a large army coming behind.

But things are almost done, and it is useless for the big army to come.

"I can't say that, at least we have attracted the attention of most people, otherwise how could we come to Jinyang so smoothly."

Li Chengqian sighed with emotion, and Zhang Zheng thought about it, this is really the truth.

Everyone's attention was on the Qincha team, who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian would break away from the big team and rush to Jinyang.

"Also, go back to the palace to sleep?"

Zhang Zheng looked at Li Chengqian and asked.
