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

Chapter 81: Provoking a Storm in Chang'an

Su Dingfang looked at Wang Xuance. He was eager to get an answer. If Wang Xuance was confused by the prosperity of Chang'an, he would really draw his sword and kill Wang Xuance.

Seeing Su Dingfang about to start chopping people if he disagreed with something, Wang Xuance was not afraid at all. Instead, he laughed. He admired Su Dingfang's loyalty to Li Yuanji. He was capable and loyal. Only with such talents could Li Yuanji develop.

But although he admired it, it was also a headache for him. He knew that if he didn't make things clear with Su Dingfang today, this person would definitely cause trouble and ruin his next arrangements.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xuance spoke slowly.

"Dingfang, don't be angry yet. You all know the letter sent by the king. This matter is related to the king's arrangement and whether we can bring back more supplies in Chang'an.

When the king first arrived in Lingnan, he was ambushed and killed. Do you think the king was not angry? The king was also very angry.

This time we came to Chang'an to vent the king's anger. As for why it was arranged like this, you will know it later. I can tell you responsibly that I am absolutely loyal to the king!

If I, Wang Xuance, am disloyal to you, you can always clean up the mess for me, is that ok?"

Wang Xuance looked at Su Dingfang. Some things really cannot be said, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

The purpose of the letter Li Yuanji wrote to him was very clear, which was to let him provoke a fight between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and at the same time use this incident to obtain a large amount of supplies. At the same time, in the letter, Li Yuanji also told him roughly about the things between him and Li Jiancheng.

When Wang Xuance first read Li Yuanji's letter, he was really confused. He thought that when he came to Chang'an, he would have a helper like Li Jiancheng. It was not until he finished reading the letter that he realized that there was no help at all. There was actually a problem between the two of them.

Li Yuanji was afraid that Li Jiancheng would use him, so he made it clear in the letter.

Even now, although he looks confident of winning, it would be a lie to say that he has no worries in his heart. After all, he is in Chang'an, where everyone is a talented person and there are talented people everywhere. Even if he has confidence in himself, he is still full of worries.

Wang Xuance was worried that he would not be able to complete what Li Yuanji had assigned him, and that would be a serious crime.

After hearing this, Su Dingfang didn't say anything else and just nodded silently in agreement.

The news that Wang Xuance had come to Chang'an soon spread. When Li Yuan heard in the palace that Li Yuanji had sent someone to Chang'an, he was extremely happy.

"Go and issue an edict to have Wang Xuance come into the palace tomorrow."

He really didn't know what Li Yuanji's current situation was in Lingnan. Now that Li Yuanji had sent someone, he could find out more about it.

He had been worried a lot since Li Yuanji left. He had made up his mind, but as he saw Li Jiancheng's power in the court growing, he became worried and had to start strengthening Li Shimin again.

The originally balanced situation was destroyed because of that idiot Li Yuanji, who kept clamoring to go to Lingnan. The words he said to him before leaving also directly affected him.

In the Eastern Palace, Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment when he received the news that people sent by Li Yuanji had entered Chang'an. He felt a little disappointed when Li Yuanji was suddenly mentioned, and he also wanted to know how Li Yuanji was doing in Lingnan.

Li Jiancheng did not contact Wang Xuance. Now that Li Yuan had not summoned him, if he contacted him, he would definitely run into trouble. Li Jiancheng was very clear about this. When Li Shimin of the Prince of Qin received the news, he was full of surprise, and then complicated. As for Li Yuanji, he did not know how to respond for a while.

He had wished to take the other person's life before, but since the last discussion on moving the capital, Li Yuanji had become a completely different person, especially the words Li Yuanji said to Li Yuan before leaving, which still echoed in his ears.

In the city of Chang'an, because of Wang Xuance's arrival, all the major families and some powerful people began to talk about it. The fact that Li Yuanji asked for money and food everywhere had become a laughing stock at the time, but now that the incident was over, everyone started to pay attention to Li Yuanji.

As a King of Qi, he could put aside his pride like this. Many people were curious. Now that the long-lost hope had reappeared in everyone's eyes, most people were very interested, although Li Yuanji did not come, he only sent Wang Xuance.

This news quickly spread throughout Chang'an. As the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin became increasingly fierce, where would Li Yuanji's sending of people lead the struggle between the two sides?

On the second day, Wang Xuance dressed neatly and went towards the palace. When he saw the palace, Wang Xuance was shocked again. At this moment, Wang Xuance truly felt like a country bumpkin coming to the city.

Thinking that Li Yuanji could live in a "palace" like Haikang and devote himself to development, Wang Xuance couldn't help but admire Li Yuanji even more.

Wang Xuance knew very well that it was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality, as he went from a prosperous capital like Chang'an to Lingnan and lived such a hard life.

"Wang Xuance, Chief Clerk of the Prince of Qi's Palace, pays respect to Your Majesty."

There were only Li Yuan and Wang Xuance in the hall. When Wang Xuance saw Li Yuan, he did not act submissive. Instead, he appeared to be in high spirits, and his words and behavior were polite.

Li Yuan looked at Wang Xuance and spoke with a smile.

"Stand up, you are originally from Lingnan, and you were an official in Rongzhou before. Now you follow the King of Qi. The King of Qi has appointed you as the Chief Clerk, which shows how much he values ​​you. You should assist the King of Qi well and not let him down.

What did the King of Qi ask you to do when you came to Chang'an this time?"

The information about Wang Xuance was already on Li Yuan's desk yesterday. After all, he was a close minister of Li Yuanji's palace, so Li Yuan still had to pay attention to him.

Before in Chang'an, Li Yuanji had left many officials from the royal palace. Li Yuan also understood Li Yuanji's approach. He was even more aware that his son, who only knew how to make trouble, had grown up, and he did not take any problematic people to Lingnan.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuance immediately said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the King of Qi values ​​me, and I am deeply grateful. I have already expressed my willingness to die for the King of Qi, and will certainly assist the King of Qi in developing Lingnan and protecting the Tang Dynasty.

The King of Qi wanted to come to Chang'an in person this time, but there were many affairs in Lingnan. The King of Qi was in Leizhou, overseeing the construction of a new city, reclaiming wasteland, building canals, and cultivating fields. There were so many things to do that he could not get away.

The King of Qi accidentally made a magical object in Lingnan, and asked me to bring it to Chang'an to present it to Your Majesty. In addition to the magical object, there are also some small items specially prepared by the King of Qi.

The King of Qi knows that Your Majesty is busy with state affairs every day and has little time to rest, so he specially sent these to Your Majesty as a filial tribute. If they can relieve Your Majesty's fatigue and make Your Majesty more comfortable, the King of Qi will be satisfied. "
