Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 126 Li Yuan's Ultimate Balance, the Fate of Wei Gui and Wu Mei
Cen Wenben really couldn't understand why Li Yuan did this.

Wu Shigui was originally Li Yuan's confidant. The two had been good friends long before Li Yuan started his rebellion. Wu Shigui also followed Li Yuan to start his rebellion. Li Yuan was willing to give up such an important person.

Then Cen Wenben also became very curious about Li Yuanji. Li Yuan's actions obviously meant that changes had taken place in Li Yuanji, and even in Lingnan, otherwise Li Yuan would not have said so.

Cen Wenben had made up his mind that this time he would go to Lingnan, he would really take a good look at Lingnan and the King of Qi. If there had really been great changes and he could be of great use, it would be fine for him to stay in Lingnan.

Although it was mainly due to Li Yuan's will, being passive and active are completely different.

Cen Wenben's face was solemn, and he spoke in a concentrated voice.

"I will obey your order. I will keep silent about this matter and will not let anyone else know. When I go to Lingnan, I will not miss any details. Whether I stay in Lingnan or not, I will report all the situations in Lingnan to Your Majesty!"

Cen Wenben agreed, and Li Yuan also smiled.

"Okay, I believe that Mr. Cen will not let me down."

If Cen Wenben agreed, it meant that he was Li Yuan's man, and his title was even higher, from Jingren to Cen Qing.

After Cen Wen finished speaking, Li Yuan's face darkened. What he was doing now was raising the stakes. The current balance between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin made him see the role of Li Yuanji in the middle.

Since he wanted to use Li Yuanji to balance Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he had to increase the stakes. Now Li Yuanji's power was still too weak compared to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. He had no choice but to supplement Li Yuanji's power.

With Li Yuanji in Lingnan, he was not worried at all. If there were any changes in Chang'an, even if there was chaos, Li Yuanji's army in Lingnan would not be able to cause any trouble. Li Yuan had the confidence in this.

As long as Li Yuanji's power expands, the two men in Chang'an will have to calm down and stop making such noise as before.

As for whether Li Yuanji, whose power was growing, would also develop ambitions, Li Yuan did not consider it at all. As long as Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin did not cross the line, he would not transfer Li Yuanji back. As long as Li Yuanji was in Lingnan, no matter how big his ambitions were, he would have to hold them back.

Naturally, he could take back what he gave to Li Yuanji. He didn't want to train another Li Shimin. The two of them were enough to give him a headache. If there was another Li Yuanji, Li Yuan felt that he would be driven crazy by these three brothers.

"San Hu, I hope you won't let me down. I'll leave this secret decree to you."

This secret decree was Li Yuan's backup plan. He only hoped that it would not be used. If it was really used, it would be God's will.

On this day, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were all making preparations. Cen Wenben was the chief envoy, Zhangsun Wuji was the deputy envoy, and together with Wei Ting from the Eastern Palace, the news that these people were setting off for Lingnan soon spread throughout Chang'an, and everyone was surprised when they heard the news.

Whether it is Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, they all began to pay attention to Li Yuanji of Lingnan. Not to mention Cen Wenben, look at Changsun Wuji sent by Li Shimin and Wei Ting sent by Li Jiancheng. Everyone knows what these two people represented in the past.

In the Wei family mansion, Wei Yuancheng, a descendant of the Wei family's Xun Gong branch, was sitting with Wei Gui discussing important matters.

"Now the Saint, the Crown Prince, and the King of Qin are going to the Lingnan of the King of Qi with such a big ceremony. It seems that the King of Qi has done a lot of things in Lingnan. In addition, the snow salt, red sandalwood, and huanghuali wood flowing out of Lingnan are all very good. It has been several months since Sizhe went there, and there is no news yet, but we can't just wait like this. I am going to agree to what the Princess of Qi said before, and you will go to Lingnan to find the King of Qi later.

Now my Wei family's reputation is gradually declining, which is a very dangerous signal. The other families have gained a lot of benefits in the front, and the Wei family has fallen far behind. This time, I will unite with the King of Qi just for the Wei family. Are you willing?"

When Wei Gui heard this, her charming face did not change at all, as if she knew her future.

"My daughter is willing. If she goes to King Qi, at least she will have sister Qingwan with her, so she won't have to worry about anything.

Father, please be at ease. Your daughter will make preparations and head to Lingnan."

Wei Yuancheng looked at Wei Gui's calm face, sighed, turned around and walked out, then quickly came back.

"You go first. If you find that the King of Qi is the same as before, then come back. Don't force yourself."

Upon hearing this, Wei Gui also smiled.

"Thank you, father. I know now."

After Wei Yuancheng left, Wei Gui's expression darkened. As a woman from an aristocratic family, she was not young anymore and knew very well what she was about to face. Marriage was an important matter that was not decided by others, and who to marry was not decided by her.

But soon, Wei Gui adjusted herself to the situation. It was not the first time she had experienced such a thing. Besides, she had known this since she was a child, so it was not so difficult for her to accept it. As she said, if she went to Li Yuanji, at least she would have Yang Qingwan to accompany her, so it would not be so boring.

Especially after entering Prince Qi's Palace, one does not have to worry about those intrigues, and it can be considered a very good destination.

In Wu Shigui's mansion, he was frowning and thinking. Li Yuan had already talked to him, and he was very clear about the responsibilities on his shoulders. He was now struggling with which people in the mansion to take with him.

After thinking for a while, Wu Shigui decided to take his eldest daughter Wu Shun and his second daughter Wu Mei with him. As for the third daughter, she was too young, so he gave up and took Wu Shun and Wu Mei with him because their biological mothers were both surnamed Yang.

Although he and Yang Qingwan were not from the same family, they were both members of the Yang family. After all, they were related. By going to Lingnan, he could also use this to get closer to Li Yuanji.

As for Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, Wu Shigui did not plan to take them with him, not only because they were born to Xiangli, but also because his two sons had to stay in Chang'an to seek better development and could not be taken to Lingnan.

Wu Shigui immediately began to prepare. After all, he was going to set off tomorrow, so he had to arrange these things. When he was going to Lingnan, he would be loyal to Li Yuanji when Li Yuan had no orders. Once Li Yuan gave an order, he would have to listen to Li Yuan and gain Li Yuanji's trust and hold an important position in Lingnan.

On the second day, Wu Shigui set off with his family. Wu Mei, who was only four years old, was looking forward to going to Lingnan. At home, she and her sister Wu Shun did not have a very happy life. Now, by going to Lingnan, she could finally get rid of her two annoying brothers.

On this day, a team headed by Cen Wenben, with each member having his own purpose, officially set out for Lingnan.
