Chapter 63: The Turning Point

On the second day, the six county guards were gathered.

In the lobby of the Chu Palace, Li Yuan sat in the main seat, and below him were six men with extraordinary momentum, who looked like big men in high positions.

That's right, these six people are the six county guards of Lingyang Mansion, and they arrived as promised.

From left to right, six people lined up and saluted Li Yuan respectfully:

"Weichen, Yueyang County Shou Lei Yunfei pays a visit to the prince."

The first person to speak on the left was Yueyang County Shou Lei Yunfei, with a calm bearing and a dignified appearance.

The second man to speak was Ma Wenhong, the guard of Fengyang County, and there was a heroic spirit between his words and actions:

"Weichen, Fengyang County Shou Ma Wenhong pays a visit to the prince."

As Li Yuan nodded, the other four county guards with different temperaments and appearances respectfully introduced themselves one by one:

"Weichen, Yunyang County Shoutao Lintao visits the prince."

"Weichen, Ziyang County Shou Zheng Shunfa pays a visit to the prince."

"Weichen, Wu Zhixiong, the county guard of Lianyang, pays a visit to the prince."

"Weichen, Huiyang County Shou Zhou Xinghua pays a visit to the prince."

"Everyone, please."

Li Yuan held his hands and motioned for them to get up.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After the six people saluted respectfully, they sat on both sides under Li Yuan's signal.

"This king has been in Lingyang Mansion for a while, and the counties are stable and stable, and the people are peaceful, and the counties have made great contributions."

The six of them had a good heart, and they didn't need to look at each other, so they replied in unison:

"Thanks to His Royal Highness, Weichen has done his duty and deserves it."

"You need not humble yourselves, for the purpose of this king calling you today is not only to see you, but also to bother you."

Li Yuan's tone paused, and his eyes swept over everyone's expressions.

The faces of the county guards below were straight, and they all showed the appearance of obedience.

"You also know that this king has been in the palace all along, and he doesn't know much about the governance of local political affairs, and you have governed the political affairs of the people of various counties for many years, and you have always been peaceful.

Therefore, this king has no intention of being in charge of all the affairs of Lingyang Mansion, and he has to bother the county guards to continue to deal with the affairs of each county, ensure the safety of the people, and share the worries of this king. ”

The six county guards moved their eyes slightly, glanced at each other, immediately got up, showed a touched look at the right time, knelt down in the center of the hall and said in unison:

"I am willing to serve His Highness, and I will never live up to His Highness's trust."

"Hmm!"

Li Yuan was very satisfied with the posture of the county guards, waved his hand and said: "How you paid tribute to the imperial court before, you can pay tribute to this king, and this king will not interfere too much." ”

"Yes!"

"Your Highness, rest assured!"

"Never let Your Highness worry!"

The six county guards spoke righteously and righteously, and they looked loyal.

"Of course, this king doesn't like trouble, but that doesn't mean that this king won't solve trouble, you won't let this king feel trouble!"

Li Yuan's momentum changed, and he squinted his eyes and said: "During this time, there are a lot of troublesome things in the capital city for this king to solve, which makes this king extremely boring, if this kind of trouble occurs again in the counties......"

Li Yuan's faint gaze swept towards everyone, and everyone was in their hearts, and they all understood Li Yuan's words, and they all bowed their hands and said respectfully:

"We will wholeheartedly obey His Highness's orders, serve His Highness, and never cause trouble to His Highness!"

"Good!"

Li Yuan's smile was soft, and his tone was a little closer.

Immediately, the solemn atmosphere was relaxed, and all the county guards were waiting to meet them, and there were all kinds of laughter and laughter in the lobby.

Soon, Xiao Yezi walked quickly into the lobby and came to Li Yuan's side, whispering softly.

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zhixiong and Ma Wenhong glanced at each other, and sneered in their hearts.

It's finally coming!

"Alas!" Li Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, his face was full of helplessness, and said to Xiao Yezi: "Let the princess come in." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king has a reluctant request, this king's princess is an idle person, followed this king to Lingyang Mansion, she has to make noise to tell this king about her ability and ability, but she lacks a place to exercise."

Li Yuan faced everyone, and his eyes were full of helplessness:

"This king really can't be strong with the princess, so he promised to give the three cities to let her manage, exercise, and see and learn.

Those who are near do not want to go, but they have to go to those who are far away.

What do you say? ”

The six county guards intertwined with each other, and the afterglow faintly looked at Wu Zhixiong.

Before coming, everyone knew what was going on, but now that the scene is over, it's time to get down to business.

Sure enough, the short and chubby Wu Zhixiong was full of surprise, stepped out, and said respectfully to Li Yuan:

"Your Royal Highness, the princess is very smart, and it is the blessing of the people to share the worries for His Highness, and I happen to have three city leaders in Lianyang County, and I want to ask His Highness for instructions to dismiss the three people, and now it is just right for the princess to take over the three cities."

"Oh?"

Li Yuan had just raised his questions, and Chu's sweet voice outside the hall sounded:

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

A light figure stepped into the lobby and quickly came to Li Yuan with a beautiful smile, and his moving eyes quickly scanned the six county guards.

Li Yuan looked at Chu Qingyan with a doting look:

"Princess, you're here, and this king is still talking to the county guards about what he promised you."

"Oh?" Chu Qingyan's eyes widened and bright, revealing a look of surprise.

"Really, Your Highness, you agreed to my request."

"Of course, what this king promised you, I will remember at any time." Li Yuan said very gently.

The six county guards below were expressionless, quietly watching the disgusting performance of the two.

When Li Yuan and Chu Qingyan's gazes turned downward, the six county guards, including Wu Zhixiong, showed a friendly smile and said respectfully:

"Meet the Princess!"

Chu smiled lightly, and just as she was about to open her mouth to everyone, Li Yuan guessed what she wanted to say, and did not give her the right to choose other counties, and stopped:

"Princess, this is Wu Junshou, listen to what Wu Junshou said, there are just three cities in Lianyang County that you can take over."

"Lianyang County?"

Chu Qingyan's eyes were stunned, looking at Wu Zhixiong, who was fat and big-eared, like a fat pig, and a wisp of murderous intent arose in his heart, even if he had already expected it in his heart, he was still a little unwilling to say:

"Your Highness, aren't there any other counties where I can take over?"

Facing Chu Qingyan's pleading gaze, Li Yuan's heart did not fluctuate, and he smiled gently:

"This king can't help it, other city lords manage the city well, this king can't change them for no reason."

Hmph, Li Yuan is really ruthless, but it's a pity that he is one step higher!

With a sneer in his heart, Chu Qingyan's gaze turned to the other five county guards below, and finally his gaze was fixed on a person, only to see this person take a step.

Huiyang County Shou Zhou Xinghua!

I saw Zhou Xinghua say respectfully:

Your Royal Highness, the princess is very smart, and she wants to share her worries for Her Highness, which is the blessing of the people, and I happen to have three city leaders in Huiyang County, and I am trying to ask His Highness for instructions to dismiss the three people, and now it is just right for the princess to take over the three cities. ”

Li Yuan, Wu Zhixiong and others narrowed their eyes.

The corners of Chu Qingyan's mouth rose slightly.

Zhou Xinghua is her sister Chu Junyan's person, and in the message a few days ago, Chu Junyan decided to expose Zhou Xinghua and let Chu Qingyan have a relatively safe base.
