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

Chapter 22 Li Yuan's Soul Problem

At night, in the Prince of Qi's mansion, Li Yuanji was sweating profusely, with Yang Qingwan lying in his arms.

"You should go back to your parents' home tomorrow. You will leave for Lingnan the day after tomorrow. This time, you will not be back in a short time. When you go back, say goodbye properly.

Although you made them laugh at a lot of jokes in the past, and then asked you to go back to your parents' home, making them laugh at a lot of jokes again, don't leave any regrets in your heart at this time of parting.

They laugh today, but they will come to us tomorrow to beg us. Don’t confront them, just say goodbye to your loved ones.”

Listening to Li Yuanji's words, Yang Qingwan agreed one by one, and Li Yuanji's restless hands also made Yang Qingwan's eyes full of confusion.

Time passed until dawn. Li Yuanji got up early, came to the camp, and began to check the preparations made by Xie Shufang and others.

"Dingfang, are you ready? You will be the first to set out tomorrow, so remember to do a final check and bring everything you need. You have a very important responsibility in leading the way.

Especially anti-parasitic drugs and drugs for treating malaria, you need to prepare more of them. By the way, Uncle Fang, please ask someone to buy these necessary things along the way.

When you first go to Lingnan, it is easy to get malaria and get bit by mosquitoes, so you need to prepare more of these two kinds of medicinal herbs.

Dingfang, after you enter Lingnan, ask the doctor to see if there are any usable herbs there. If there are any useful herbs, collect them all."

When Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang heard this, they all agreed.

"Don't worry, my king. I have prepared everything that needs to be prepared. I have checked it three times. We will move out tomorrow."

"Don't worry, my king. I will have someone arrange this matter. We have bought all the medicinal herbs we can in Chang'an City. All the big and small pharmacies no longer have the herbs we need.

We will arrange more personnel along the way and purchase more supplies to ensure the team's needs."

Listening to the two people's words, Li Yuanji nodded. Now everything has been arranged, and they just have to wait for the day after tomorrow.

After a while, Li Yuan sent the corresponding supplies, and at the same time, along with it came Li Yuanji's imperial edict to go to Lingnan.

The meaning of this edict was that Li Yuanji voluntarily went to Lingnan for the Tang Dynasty and became a southwestern barrier for the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, the throne of King Qi remained unchanged, and Lingnan became his fiefdom.

Li Yuanji looked at the edict with a strange look on his face. It always felt a little strange to be a vassal of Lingnan as the King of Qi, but Li Yuanji was too lazy to think about it. Now what he wanted had been achieved.

The many supplies sent by Li Yuan exceeded what Li Yuanji had to prepare, especially the money and food. Li Yuan was really willing to give and gave a lot. Xie Shufang immediately started to have people prepare to sort them and load them onto trucks.

When Li Yuanji returned to the palace, Li Yuan sent someone again.

"See you, King Qi. The Holy Saint has given you this message: You have taken my things, but you have not come to the palace to express your gratitude. Do you want me to invite you?
Please, King Qi, come to the palace as soon as possible. The Saint is summoning you."

Li Yuanji was speechless. He was so excited when he received the gift that he forgot about it. Li Yuanji thought Li Yuan was making a fuss. Didn't he just not go to the palace to thank the emperor? He was still urging him to do such a trivial thing.

Li Yuanji, with a smile on his face, walked happily into the palace. There was nothing else he could do, as Li Yuan was his financial backer, and he was powerless. What else could he do but to make Li Yuan happy first.

When Li Yuanji walked into the hall, he saw Li Yuan. At this moment, Li Yuan was not upstairs, but sitting leisurely below.

"Dad, the baby is here."

Li Yuan opened his eyes only after hearing Li Yuanji's voice. "You are about to go to Lingnan. Are you getting cocky? If I don't send someone to call you, you won't come, right?"

Hearing Li Yuan's words of accusation, even though he knew Li Yuan was joking, he had to reply. If Li Yuan really didn't let him go, he would cry to death.

"Dad, you misunderstood me. When I saw you sent so many supplies, I was very happy and forgot about it for a while.

Dad, I really didn't mean it. You've been so good to me, I'll always remember it in my heart."

Seeing Li Yuanji's disgusting look, Li Yuan decisively stopped mentioning it. He was really helpless with Li Yuanji. How could this man suddenly change so much?
"Alright, stop being like this. It makes me upset."

Li Yuanji laughed foolishly for a while, then stopped. At this time, Li Yuan's voice came again.

"You will set off the day after tomorrow. I will not say more. When you go to Lingnan, please pay more attention to your own safety. When you go to Lingnan, try your best to subdue Feng Ang. This will be beneficial for your control of Lingnan.

When you get there, if you encounter any difficulties that you cannot solve yourself, just write to the court. After all, you are the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty. Do you understand?"

"In the past, I indeed overlooked you a lot, but I didn't expect that San Hu suddenly came to his senses. He was right, but his vision was too poor. He had to go to Lingnan instead of choosing any other place.

Once you leave this time, only your elder brother and second brother will be left in Chang'an. I don't know when I can see you again. I am a little reluctant to let you go."

Li Yuanji was listening to Li Yuan's words silently. Now he was not sure whether Li Yuan was expressing his true feelings or was just comforting him superficially.

In fact, all the brothers understood Li Yuan's approach very well. The seeds of prejudice had been planted, and it would not be easy to eliminate them.

But at this moment, Li Yuan's next words made Li Yuanji stunned.

"Sanhu, after you go to Lingnan, if you have time, come back to Chang'an to visit me. Don't wait for me to urge you.

Now that you are about to set off, I have a question to ask you. I am getting older and older, and I feel that I am no longer able to do many things.

Now that your elder brother and second brother are both young and strong, do you think it is better to give my position to Dalang or Erlang?"

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Li Yuanji indifferently. He really wanted to know what Li Yuanji would say.

In the past, he would not have asked this question, because Li Yuanji had made it clear that he supported Li Jiancheng. Now that Li Yuanji had changed so much and was going to Lingnan, he could guess that Li Yuanji had thought it through and did not want to stay in Chang'an anymore.

When Li Yuanji heard this, he felt really helpless. He really didn't expect Li Yuan to ask him about this. What could he say about this question? Wasn't he forced to run to Lingnan because of this?

Is it possible for him, the King of Qi, to participate in such a thing?

He didn't believe that Li Yuan didn't know about this, especially asking him at this time. What did Li Yuan want to do? He was going to Lingnan, was it just to know what he was thinking?
Even if he said this, it would be of no use. If he could arrange it, that would be great. There would be no need to do this.

Li Yuanji felt very complicated for a moment, but after a moment, he was ready to respond.

After all, he is a brainless man, and thinking for too long would be bad for him.
