This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 810 Volume Li Er's Thoughts

Cheng Chuliang didn't mind going south, not that he really yearned for that place, but he was very clear that the reason why the Tang Dynasty took action against Siam was because of the instigation of his prince.

In other words, the ones who really have ideas about Siam are actually their highnesses.

At this time, if he could go to the front line, he would certainly be willing to do so.

Besides, his father is not there yet, so if he goes there now, he can get a lot of benefits.

"It would be a good idea for General Cheng to take a trip." Wang Dequan nodded when he heard this.

Cheng Chuliang's advantages are too obvious, and he is not as reckless as Fang Yiai. Letting him do this is indeed the best choice.

Almost at the same time, Li Yin, who was heading to Yizhou to be enfeoffed, also received the news.

But to Li Er's disappointment, this guy did almost nothing.

After receiving the message, he threw the letter away.

Seeing this, Li Yifu, who was standing by, immediately looked over.

Seeing this, Li Yin also smiled and said, "If you want to watch it, just watch it. It's not a big deal."

After hearing what Li Yin said, Li Yifu immediately bent down and picked up the letter that Li Yin had crumpled into a ball.

Just a quick glance and Li Yifu felt unwell.

"How can Your Highness not care about such an important matter?" Li Yifu said hurriedly, "Their Majesty's life or death is unknown now. As a prince, shouldn't Your Highness return to Chang'an to take charge of the situation?"

As an official of Prince Liang's Mansion, how could he not see this as an opportunity?

Of course, maybe it was because he had just entered the officialdom, and his brain was not that smart.

Seeing him like this, Li Yan immediately laughed and said, "Li Changshi only saw the opportunity here, but didn't see the crisis at all.

What am I?
To put it bluntly, it was just a pretext for being held accountable by the emperor.

How could the news reach me?

Do you really think that I am an indispensable figure in our Tang Dynasty?

I am not afraid of being laughed at by Li Changshi. Even if I die now, it will not affect the Tang Dynasty at all.

If you think too highly of yourself, you will suffer. "

After Li Yan finished speaking, there was a hint of dejection on his face.

He was very clear about his position, so he didn't dare to have any delusions.

When Li Yifu heard him say this, he immediately showed more respect for him.

He also discovered that he was anxious.

No matter what, it is because he lacks experience in officialdom. If it were those old-timers in officialdom, would this not happen?

"Your Highness is indeed far-sighted." Li Yifu immediately complimented, "If it weren't for Your Highness, I wouldn't be able to figure out all these tricks."

His words were not just a compliment, but a true conviction.

After all, he really hadn't thought of this just now.

I saw the opportunity, but I didn't see the crisis that was hidden in it.

Seeing him like this, Li Yin smiled.

This is the effect he wants.

He had no intention of returning to Chang'an or going south at the moment. At this moment, he just wanted to get to Yizhou as quickly as possible.

"Li Changshi doesn't need to belittle himself. After all, Li Changshi has only been in office for a short time and lacks some understanding of the court of our Tang Dynasty.

If Li Changshi is allowed to hone his skills in the court or in the local areas for a while, he will naturally be able to see through the intrigues involved. "

Li Yin still values ​​Li Yifu very much.

Capability is secondary. The key is that Li Yifu served in the Prince of Liang's Mansion and had no background. Apart from the recommendation of Ma Zhou, this person's circle was relatively clean.

Only people like this can be used by him, right?
Li Yifu could understand Li Yin's tone.

Moreover, he is confident that he is no worse than anyone else.

It’s just that now it’s the right time and fate, I didn’t catch the right opportunity.

If he really caught the right opportunity, he felt that he might not be inferior to people like Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji.

As for arrogance, he does have it.

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Although he thought so, Li Yifu still said very humbly, "I still need your guidance. This time when Your Highness is enfeoffed, I will definitely assist Your Highness and govern Yizhou in an orderly manner."

He indeed had no experience in serving as a local official, and this was his biggest shortcoming.

Besides, wasn’t Li Yin’s words just now asking him to express his stance?

Although he has no experience in the ups and downs of officialdom, he is extremely smart.

"Of course." Li Yan smiled when he heard that.

"But since Your Highness has received the news that His Majesty was assassinated, would you like to send someone to the south to take a look?" Li Yifu hesitated for a moment and said, "Whether it is true or not, Your Highness still has to take an attitude, especially now that Your Highness has a reputation as a pure-hearted person in the hearts of the people, so you can't let this reputation go to waste."

Hearing what Li Yifu said, Li Yin nodded and agreed very much: "Li Changshi is still thoughtful. In this way, I will send people south immediately."

He had actually thought of this a long time ago, but he really valued his chief historian, so he deliberately left him a place where he could perform well.

When Li Yifu saw that his opinion was accepted, he was secretly delighted.

……

In Siam, Li Er was listening to the eunuch's report as if nothing had happened.

The eunuch's report was actually nothing special, except that Zhangsun Wuji knocked on the door, or Wei Dapengzi knocked on the door.

Anyway, during this period of time, Changsun Wuji and his people have been knocking on the door many times.

But Li Er ignored him.

This put Changsun Wuji and others in a difficult position.

There has been no news from His Majesty for nearly ten days. How can they not be anxious?

During this period, they even ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the temporary public office outside the palace.

I dare not take even a step.

"The news has spread, right?" Li Er asked instead of answering. However, the eunuch knew that the question was not directed at him, so he did not look up.

Just as Li Er finished speaking, the old eunuch from the Secret Service Department came out again and said softly, "Your Majesty, the news should have reached everyone's ears by now.

As your majesty said before, the Secret Service is also keeping an eye on it all the time, but there is no news yet. I think there will be news in three days at the latest."

Li Er nodded and said, "In that case, tell Zhangsun Wuji and the others that my health has improved and I can summon all the ministers to discuss matters tomorrow."

Li Er was still very satisfied with the performance of Changsun Wuji and others these days.

Although he knew that those old foxes might have guessed it, Li Er was already content with such performance.

The current emperor has not been heard from for nearly ten days. It would be his greatest blessing if his subjects could remain calm or not make any unusual moves.

When the eunuch heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows how many excuses or reasons he has come up with in the past ten days to fool Changsun Wuji and others?

In fact, it was okay when facing Changsun Wuji, but when facing those generals, he wanted to die.

One look at his bruised face and nose showed how hard it had been for him. Of course, for a eunuch like him, being scolded for saying something above was something he was used to.

Sometimes, even when his bruises were not that serious, he still had to make amends for himself.

This is their way.

He also understood that his Majesty would not treat him unfairly afterwards.

Everyone present believed this.

Outside the palace, Changsun Wuji and others had long lost their initial calmness.

If the palace was closed for a day or two, they would not be so anxious, but they had not seen Li Er for nearly ten days, which made them gradually doubt Li Er's safety.

Fortunately, they were all ministers who had followed Li Er for many years, and they had some understanding of their own Majesty.

Otherwise, by now, not to mention others, the generals led by Hou Junji would have already rushed in.

Although the palace was guarded by Li Er's personal soldiers, it was almost impossible to stop them.

What really stopped them was Li Er’s supreme imperial power.

"It's not going to work this way." Seeing that no one said anything, Hou Junji said, "Although I believe that His Majesty is fine, it has been almost ten days and no news has come out of the palace. If there is any accident in the palace, we will not know it!"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Changsun Wuji asked immediately.

He has aged a lot during this period and looks listless.

In fact, it wasn't just him, almost everyone present was like this.

I guard here all day long. When I feel sleepy, I take a nap and continue guarding when I wake up. I have to be in good spirits to be here.

"If you ask me, I will knock on the door myself and ask the eunuch to come out. I will have to get something out of him even if I have to torture him." Hou Junji said immediately, "At least we need to know how your Majesty is doing!"

"Then you go." After hearing what he said, Changsun Wuji said directly.

They were actually not very worried about Li Er having an accident.

That's for sure.

It's just that it's been taking too long, which is why everyone is feeling unsure.

However, if something unexpected happened to Li Er, the palace would not be so well organized and would definitely be a mess.

Besides, who doesn’t have good relations with a few eunuchs? If something big happens, those guys will try their best to spread the news.

As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers, and the same goes for eunuchs.

At this moment, all the concerns expressed by everyone were just for show.

Even if it is Hou Junji, it is actually the same.

Even the eunuch who was beaten was like this.

Of course, what really made them have no doubts about this was that every time the eunuch came out, his injuries were more serious.

This is very telling.

"Then I'll go right away." Hou Junji walked out without any hesitation and headed towards the palace.

When everyone saw this, although they didn't say anything, they all followed in that direction tacitly.

Just when Hou Junji was about to be stingy, there was a creaking sound, and the eunuch with a bruised face and nose came out.

This surprised Hou Junji, but he quickly reacted, grabbing the eunuch by the collar and roaring, "Tell me, what did you do to His Majesty?
If you don’t give me an explanation today, I will make you suffer a fate of life or death.”

Having said that, Hou Junji punched the guy without waiting for him to speak.

Not to say that every punch hit the flesh, but it was true that every punch was aimed at the face.

He knew these guys too well. Even though they might be resentful when they were hit in the face, they were actually very grateful in their hearts.

If the hit is somewhere else, can Li Er see it?
It can be said that this has become an unspoken rule between them.

"Oh... How can Duke Chen be so rude?" The eunuch wailed as he was beaten, and said, "I am here on the orders of His Majesty to deliver the oral instructions."

He could have said this earlier, but he felt that only by taking a few more hits could he act pitiful in front of His Majesty when he returned, so he took two more punches from Hou Junji.

Hou Junji also understood, and when he heard this, he immediately let him go. The guys behind him also came over after hearing this.

"What happened to His Majesty?" Changsun Wuji asked anxiously.

In fact, everyone knows that this is nothing more than Changsun Wuji showing off himself.

But at this time, no one cared much about his performance.

"Your Majesty is fine now." The eunuch said with a smile, "Just now, Your Majesty gave an oral order to summon all the ministers to discuss matters tomorrow."

"Why tomorrow?" Upon hearing this, Hou Junji raised his fist again, "Since His Majesty is no longer seriously injured, why can't he summon us today?"

His question raised everyone's doubts.

But it's just a doubt.

"You can ask His Majesty yourselves tomorrow. It's unreasonable to embarrass us!" The eunuch was not afraid of Hou Junji and others.

He is His Majesty's man, and these people have no control over him. For him, as long as he serves His Majesty well, nothing else matters.

After hearing this, Hou Junji was no longer angry and put down his raised fist again.

At this moment, no one actually cared about the eunuch.

Anyway, at least we have some definite news.

This is the most important thing. Besides, we have been waiting for more than ten days, so one more day won’t make a difference.

As for what His Majesty has been doing in the past ten days, they have also guessed it, but no one has said it.

"It's time to work."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said no more.

When the eunuch saw this, he bowed to everyone and then returned to the palace.

With the creaking sound of the door closing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They never doubted what had really happened to Li Er. After all, there had been no sounds of unrest in the palace since the news of Li Er's assassination.

Based on this alone, Li Er's safety should not be in jeopardy.

After all, there is only one person who can control the overall situation in the palace, and that is Li Er.

No one except Li Er has this ability.

The art of checks and balances is not only used in the court.

"Everyone has worked hard in recent days. Since His Majesty is fine, you might as well go back and tell him the good news so that you can be in good spirits to see him tomorrow." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, Hou Junji immediately said: "No need, although His Majesty has received an oral order, who knows what the situation is in the palace.

Today, I will stay here and see who dares to act rashly."

"I will stay here as well. After all, your Majesty's safety is more important." Li Ji said immediately.

Seeing the two of them like this, the others also returned to the temporary government office outside the palace.

We are not fools. If we go back now, won’t all the suffering of the past ten days be in vain?

The eunuchs all knew that their sufferings must be seen by His Majesty, let alone them?
