Chapter 1493 The troops are approaching and they are forced to reveal their strength!
The Kyoto was in an uproar, so how could Li Chengru in Qizhou not know about it?

At this time, in Si Lili's residence in the backyard, she was leaning on the couch with her fat son in her arms. She was originally playing with him leisurely, but after Li Lianying finished speaking, the expression on her face became very solemn.

There are undercurrents in Qizhou, and even right after we entered Changzhou, there are people who want to rebel!

"Go, tell the civil and military officials to hold a meeting in the main hall!"

"Yes, sir~" Li Lianying also knew the seriousness of the matter.

As a witness at Mount Datong that day, I know that my master wanted to conceal the incident, but now it has caused such a stir, there must be someone behind it.

As I walked out in a hurry, I almost bumped into Si Lili who was bringing in some fruit.

"Eunuch Liu, be careful!" The maidservant at the side glared at him, her main point being loyalty.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Li Lianying said this without waiting for the other party to reply, and walked forward quickly, but before leaving he glanced at the maid.

Bitch!

Wait until we have time~

Si Lili, who was wearing a light blue dress with white dots of red plum blossoms embroidered on it, had her slender waist, which was so thin that it could be grasped with one hand, bound with a white brocade belt. It was hard to imagine that she had given birth to a child.

At this moment, he also realized that the atmosphere was very subtle. After handing the fruit to the maid beside him, he gave her a look to signal her not to talk too much.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"Something happened in Kyoto!" Li Chengru simply said this, and then handed the fat baby who was blowing bubbles in his arms to her.

Si Lili was also very sensible. Seeing this situation, she didn't say any more nonsense.

The palace does not cover a large area. In order to support the tens of thousands of troops under his command, the funds are already somewhat stretched. Naturally, it is impossible to build a large-scale building just for the sake of pleasure.
Originally it was just a villa of a noble family in Qizhou. After moving here, it was almost intact, except that a large hall for meeting meetings was built in the front.

Today, he controls six states, and the total population of all the people is more than 40. He is considered a local overlord, and his makeshift team of civil and military officials also numbers to people.

Li Chengru didn't even change his clothes and was still wearing his home clothes.

"The prince has arrived!" Li Lianying shouted in a duck voice.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" The ministers who had arrived earlier bowed and saluted, as it was not customary to kneel at this time.

"Okay, okay, stop it!" Li Chengru walked over and sat on the chair.

"How is the situation now?"

The Secretariat is in charge of all matters, big and small. The Shangshu Ling was once the prefect of Qizhou, and now he can barely be considered the head of the civil servants.

He was the first to speak: "Your Highness, it's not good. The news from Kyoto is getting worse and worse, and I heard that the court is urgently dispatching troops from the southwest and Jiangnan!"

"There are 20 troops in total, commanded by General Xu Chu of the Tiger Cavalry. Now the army has arrived at our border. Changzhou Prefect Fan Shiju and Commandant Li Hu have jointly sent a memorial to ask for instructions on how to respond!"

"Two...two hundred thousand troops!" Everyone's face changed, and even some of the timid ones had sweat on their foreheads.

That's an army of 200,000. Moreover, the commander this time, Xu Chu, is a famous general who has risen in the border army of Qing State in recent years. He is simply not comparable to that idiot Qin Qiong from last time.

"Your Highness, have you made a breakthrough?" The head of the Household Registration Department, who is in charge of money and grain, asked what everyone else was eager to know.

He had his own evil plans and didn't quite believe that his prince could break through to become a grandmaster. Then, half of his 5-man army were new recruits. How could they possibly be a match for 20?

This pot-bellied Zhao Weizi was also descended from a noble family. This time, he was instructed by the direct line of the Kyoto clan to get to the bottom of this matter. This would be a great achievement, and when he returned to the court, he could at least become a minister.

"Oh~" Li Chengru sighed in his heart, feeling an inexplicable sense of frustration.

I originally wanted to keep it secret for a while, but now it seems that it’s no longer possible!

In the final analysis, the foundation is still relatively shallow. It has been less than a year since the enfeoffment, and all the ministers have not completely returned to their loyalty. If they encounter any disturbance, they will lose their composure. If they continue to conceal it, they may turn against us. There is nothing that can be done about it. Needless to say, the military generals are all the confidants that I have cultivated over the years.

However, the composition of civil servants was more complicated. Only one-third were completely loyal to him, and a small part was recruited from powerful people in various states after they arrived at their fiefdoms in order to compromise.

The remaining ones are even more complicated, with powerful people behind them. Li Chengru originally wanted to train his own people over a few years and then gradually replace these bastards.

But now it seems it's too late!
"boom!"

Li Chengru was very decisive, and his clean and neat aura emanated from him.

In just a moment, the faces of dozens of civil and military officials below changed suddenly, and they knelt on the ground in shock.

Everyone had a happy look on their faces, except Zhao Weizi, because he would definitely not have a good ending. The lightest punishment would be dismissal from office, and his family would not offend a grandmaster because of him!

This time it's over~

At this moment, I really want to slap myself in the face. Can't I just be honest? Why do I have to go through this trouble?
The youngest one back then was Si Gu Jian, but he was a few years older when he achieved a breakthrough. This prince has already broken the record at the age of 24.

"Are you all relieved about this?" Li Chengru said lightly.

"Your Highness, forgive me!"

Everyone knelt again.

"Okay, let's go!"

Naturally, there was no need for any discussion next. Everyone's confidence soared. Their own prince had become a grandmaster, so this time, they had nothing to fear, not to mention that the enemy had an army of 20, even if they had twice as many.

This is the deterrent power of the Grand Master!

Li Chengru summoned his confidants back to the study to discuss countermeasures together.

"Tell me, what should we do next?"

"Your Highness, I think we cannot be led by the nose. We must take back the initiative!"

Three heads are better than one, and there are some good ideas...

With Li Chengru's active exposure, some people in Kyoto who were interested in the matter naturally found out soon, and some were happy while others were worried.

For example, the dignitaries who had participated in the assassination before only wanted to please Emperor Qing and settle their personal grudges. Now that they know that the eldest prince has become a grandmaster, they are desperate and are looking for people to plead for him.

As a result, no one paid any attention to him. The once powerful and influential people suddenly became a bad name in Kyoto. Some people were so disheartened that they had already arranged for people to order coffins for him.

Tired, destroy it!

In the face of true strength, everything you do will be in vain. It is better to enjoy the final stage and silently wait for death to come.

Emperor Qing, who was the first to learn the news, flew into a rage in front of Hong Sixiang. He had originally just done it for the sake of convenience, but he had not expected that the newly promoted grandmaster was actually his son!

To be honest, I would rather it be someone else!

Deep down, what Emperor Qing least wants is Li Chengru to become a grandmaster, because this brat is out of his control and now has troops outside, which is a real threat to his rule.

"Hong Sixiang, what is that little bastard doing now?"

The old eunuch originally wanted to report, but was interrupted by Emperor Qing just as he started. Now he hurriedly continued after hearing the question.

"Your Majesty, General Xu's troops are approaching, and His Highness has already led his men to Kyoto!"

To be continued...
