The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 986
"Qingque and Ke'er were trained by me in Chang'an, and will become Chengqian's right-hand men in the future. If other princes have such talents, I will not hesitate to cultivate them. It's just that this childish slave, Guanyin servant girl, grew up by your side since childhood. You are big and gentle, but you have not learned a little bit about right and wrong, and you are not good at dealing with people, and your character is too cowardly." His Majesty Li Er said: "Today Deyi reported to me, saying that the young slave went to the cold palace during the day, thinking I want to see that Wu Cairen, and then I went to Sizi's place, probably because I want Sizi to come to me to intercede, don't you think that the young slave's attitude towards Wu Cairen is a bit unusual?"

When Empress Changsun heard the words, she fell into deep thought. She didn't expect that Li Zhi and Wu Mei had already come together, and had an affair all night behind everyone's back.

She never thought that her son would have an affair with his father's concubine.

But before Li Zhi was married, when he was in the palace, Empress Changsun heard about the relationship between Li Zhi and Wu Mei. Zhi asked someone to intercede, which alarmed Empress Changsun.

Later, he sent the palace servants around him to inquire about it, and only then did he know the friendship between Li Zhi and Wu Mei.

Because of Li Zhi's temper, Li Zhi doesn't have many friends in the palace. The only good relationship is Princess Jinyang who grew up with him. After Wu Mei helped Li Zhi, Li Zhi has always been grateful In my heart, after coming and going, the two of them became acquainted.

Empress Changsun didn't take this kind of friendship into her heart, and she just secretly mentioned a few words when Li Zhi came to pay her respects, telling him not to get too close to his father's concubine, so as not to be tainted by others.

Who would have thought that the relationship between Li Zhi and Wu Mei would develop like this until now.

"Your Majesty, although Zhinu has gotten closer to Wu Cairen in the palace, the concubine feels that this is also because Zhinu didn't have many friends in the palace before, and he was dull-tempered and not good at speaking. Having passed Zhinu once, this child has recorded it in his heart. It is normal for him to meet in the palace and say hello and chat for a while. Okay?" After saying a few good words for Li Zhi, Empress Changsun then asked about Li Zhi's fiefdom.

Empress Changsun has three sons in total. Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, is resident in Chang'an, and Li Tai, as the king of Wei, is already a great honor to stay in Chang'an without going. She doesn't expect all her children to be left behind. In Chang'an, when the child grows up, he always has to go out on his own, and staying in Chang'an may not necessarily be a good thing.

"There is still a vacancy for the governor of Minzhou. I plan to put the young slaves there, and Minzhou is not very far from Chang'an." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Minzhou." Empress Changsun pondered for a moment: "It's not far from Tuyuhun, and forgets Hezhou. Your Majesty intends to let young slaves lead the army?"

Minzhou is the closest big city to Tuyuhun in the Tang Dynasty. Minzhou is mountainous and not rich, but it is also a test for Li Zhi. If he is sent to Suzhou and Hangzhou, it will be difficult for him to accomplish anything. On the contrary, going to such a bitter and cold place is also a hero made by the times.

Li Zhi's temperament should be tempered in such a harsh environment. His Majesty Li Er plans to put Li Zhi in Minzhou for a few years, let him know some of the sufferings of the people, and don't always trap yourself in the palace. In Chang'an, trapped in Fuwo.

"There are a lot of standing troops stationed in Minzhou City. Don't worry about safety. Tuyuhun has been very honest in the past two years, and the army in Minzhou City can handle Tuyuhun enough to support reinforcements to Hezhou, so don't worry about this. I want to be a child slave the most. Put your mind on how to manage the people's livelihood, instead of leading soldiers and thinking about how to kill them all day long." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Since your Majesty has already made up his mind, it will be fine to issue an order tomorrow, but I do have a request." Empress Changsun said to His Majesty Li Er.

"tell me the story."

"You are just newly married. If you go to Minzhou to take up the post, the whole family in the Prince Jin's mansion in Chang'an City can't do it. Therefore, the concubine begs His Majesty to be merciful and let Zhinu bring the Princess Jin. Besides, bring more family members. servant."

His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Well, tomorrow I will call the young slave into the palace. After receiving the order, let him go to the Lizheng Hall. If you have anything to ask, you can do it yourself."

Li Zhi's age has reached the age of the vassal, and he didn't get married before, so he can feel at ease in Chang'an, and he became a relative, and he has reached the age. His Majesty Li Er proposed to let Li Zhi become the vassal, and the court officials naturally will not object.

Chang'an city already has a king of Wei and a king of Wu, don't need another one.

This time, the matter of Li Zhi's vassal status was brought up, and some good ministers also reminded His Majesty Li Er by the way that King Wu and King Wei should also become vassals.

His Majesty Li Er took this question lightly, and it has been like this for so many years.

The decree of Fan Fan was soon sent to the Prince Jin's Mansion, and as usual, Li Zhi would also enter the palace to thank him.

In the hall of King Jin's Mansion.

"Father wants me to go to Minzhou to serve as governor of Minzhou, what does Mr. Zhang think?" Li Zhi looked at Zhang Xingcheng who was sitting beside him.

Zhang Xingcheng was sent to Li Zhi by His Majesty Li Er. Originally, Zhang Xingcheng was serving as a minister in the imperial court. After Li Zhi branched out, he came to Li Zhi's side and assisted Li Zhi.

And this time when Li Zhi became a vassal, Zhang Xingcheng naturally had to follow Li Zhi's side, a governor of a state always had his staff by his side.

And Zhang Xingcheng is Li Zhi's senior aide.

"The territory of Minzhou is mountainous and dangerous, and its location is close to the border of Tuyuhun. Although Minzhou is barren, there are more soldiers in Minzhou than other places. It depends on how His Highness thinks about it." Zhang Xingcheng said.

He hoped that Li Zhi could lead the army. No matter which dynasty or generation he was in, as long as he had military power in his hands, he would have the right to speak, because Li Zhi was a prince, and if he was far away, he would just talk about Li Ke.

A concubine prince, because he has the Xuanjia Army in his hands, has a very important position in the court. If Li Zhi wants to go up, having military power in his hands will be an advantage for him.

"Military power?" Li Zhi said: "But this king thinks that my father wants me to go to Minzhou to improve the people's livelihood. As long as the people live well, it is my merit."

"Your Highness, people's livelihood and military power do not conflict. Your Highness should be careful of Tuyuhun next door. You don't know when it will become chaotic. Your Highness is in charge of the army, at least it is a way to protect yourself." Zhang Xingcheng said.

Zhang Xingcheng was dispatched from the palace to Li Zhi's side, he didn't feel that this was going downhill, but felt that Li Zhi, the prince, had great potential.
