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

Chapter 83: Crying Poor, Li Yuan's Anger and Murderous Intentions

When Li Yuan was full of emotion, Wang Xuance's expression became extremely bitter and sad after he finished speaking, and he spoke again with sobs.

"Your Majesty, you don't know how difficult it is for the King of Qi. The King of Qi is only concerned with the development of Lingnan, for the sake of the court and Your Majesty. All the materials brought from Chang'an have been used to develop the local area. Now the King of Qi's palace has not even been built.

The King of Qi now lives in a small hut, which is smaller than a corner of the Palace of King Qi in Chang'an. I and other ministers advised the King of Qi to build a palace, but he said that with the newly built Haikang City, there is not enough manpower and material resources to build a palace. So the plan was put on hold and he built a very simple wooden house to live in.

Now the development of King Qi in Hikvision has reached a bottleneck. The supplies King Qi brought are almost used up, and he will soon not even have enough to eat.

Your Majesty, you also know that Lingnan is a remote and poor place, and the people there are very poor. The King of Qi could not bear to see the people of Lingnan suffer, so he took on the responsibility. But now the King of Qi is suffering, and Lingnan lacks everything.

Not long after the King of Qi arrived, he lost a lot of weight and looked sad every day. He ate wild vegetables and porridge, and only had a good meal occasionally.

Your Majesty, please save the King of Qi and save Lingnan. The King of Qi is in need of everything. This is the letter that the King of Qi asked me to bring. The King of Qi asked me to hand it to Your Majesty personally."

Wang Xuance spoke at the top of his lungs, his eyes were red and tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked extremely sad.

Li Yuan felt a pang in his heart when he listened to what Wang Xuance said. He knew that Lingnan was poor, and he was even more aware of the supplies that Li Yuanji had prepared in Chang'an. He knew the huge number of troops and the consumption after they went to Lingnan. He really believed what Wang Xuance said. Li Yuanji was having a hard time and it was very difficult.

After Li Yuan picked up the letter and read it, his heart ached even more. In the letter, Li Yuanji did not complain, but expressed his longing for him and advised him to take care of his health. The laughter and joy revealed in the letter made Li Yuan feel so harsh and distressed.

This was the package Li Yuanji prepared for Li Yuan. Wang Xuance was responsible for crying poor, while Li Yuanji's letters were responsible for commemorating and showing filial piety. He did not mention Li Yuan's difficulties at all, which made him appear extremely sensible and filial. The rest was left to Wang Xuance to make Li Yuan uncomfortable.

Li Yuan was indeed feeling uncomfortable at this moment. After all, he was his own son, his legitimate son, and he was so sensible and filial. Li Yuan felt a little reluctant in his heart.

After a while, Li Yuan's hoarse voice was heard.

"Sanhu has become more sensible and filial, and is now worthy of my status as a king. I am very pleased that he has such thoughts.

You can go back in three days. Within three days, I will prepare all the materials that the King of Qi needs, and you can take them back with you."

Wang Xuance was secretly delighted when he heard this. Why did he and Li Yuanji do this? Wasn't it just for supplies?

Now that Li Yuan said this, Wang Xuance knew very well that the supplies this time would definitely not be small, because even Li Yuan needed three days to prepare, so it was conceivable how huge the supplies were. As long as they arrived in Lingnan, these supplies would be enough to support them for a long time.

Although Wang Xuance was happy in his heart, his face was extremely sad.

"On behalf of the King of Qi, I thank Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I have something else to say. Although the King of Qi has sternly warned me not to tell Your Majesty, as a subordinate of the King of Qi, I will tell Your Majesty even if the King of Qi dislikes it."

Wang Xuance's words directly attracted Li Yuan's attention.

Li Yuan looked at Wang Xuance with sharp eyes and a serious expression.

"Tell me, what is the matter? The King of Qi doesn't even let you tell me. I'm very curious!" Wang Xuance's expression was conflicted, but after a moment he became determined and then slowly spoke.

"Your Majesty, you may not know that the King of Qi was ambushed after entering Lingnan. He encountered ambushing dozens of times from Guizhou to Leizhou."

When Li Yuan heard this, his pupils shrank and his hands clenched unconsciously.

"Asshole! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?

Who on earth did this? They dared to kill the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty. They all deserved to die!
"Where is the King of Qi? Is the King of Qi injured?"

Li Yuan was really shocked. He really didn't know that Li Yuanji had been intercepted and killed dozens of times along the way. Dozens of times!
Those people were so bold as to kill the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty. What were they trying to do? They were rebelling!
Li Yuan started out as a rebel, and what he hated most was someone rebelling against his own Tang Dynasty!

Wang Xuance was filled with grief and cried, “Your Majesty, most of these ambushes were aimed at teasing people, but it’s all good. The King of Qi is fine, but in Xiuzhou, the King of Qi was attacked by people with a full set of standard equipment from the former Sui Dynasty.

The King of Qi's army suffered heavy losses and the King of Qi was almost injured. Fortunately, Generals Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang fought desperately and eventually defeated the enemy, and the King of Qi was safe.

When I came to Chang'an, the King of Qi repeatedly told me not to tell anyone, because it was finally found out that these people were Feng Xuan's men, and Feng Xuan went to kill the King of Qi only after receiving a letter from Chang'an.

The King of Qi thought that he was fine and that his father was related to Chang'an. The King of Qi did not want to make His Majesty worry, and he did not want this incident to cause panic in Chang'an and cause unrest.

But as a subordinate of the King of Qi, how can I not speak up for him? Now that the King of Qi has gone to Lingnan, I beg Your Majesty to let those people let the King of Qi go. The King of Qi has gone to the bitter cold place of Lingnan."

As Wang Xuance spoke, two lines of tears flowed down his face. He kept begging Li Yuan to ask "those people" to let Li Yuanji go. Li Yuanji had already gone to Lingnan, so there was no need to kill him.

As Li Yuan listened to Wang Xuance's words, he became so angry that he clenched his teeth and trembled all over. His hands were clenched into fists and his breathing became heavier.

It was not that Li Yuan was sick, but that he was angry. He wanted to kill someone at the moment, he really wanted to kill someone. In Chang'an, there was actually someone trying to kill Li Yuanji. Especially since Li Yuanji had already asked to go to Lingnan, the people in Chang'an were still unwilling to let Li Yuanji go.

Li Yuan was really angry.

After a while, Li Yuan seemed to calm down, but his face was still as gloomy as water.

"Wang Xuance, you go back first. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give the Three Hus an explanation!"

Wang Xuance burst into tears and looked at His Majesty with surprise.

"I thank you, Your Majesty. This is the evidence I found in Feng Xuan's mansion. It shows that the people in Chang'an are in collusion with Feng Xuan. I have secretly brought Feng Xuan to the imperial city and he is currently in the official post station. Your Majesty can send someone to get him at any time."

Li Yuan took the letter from Wang Xuance's hand, and then Wang Xuance retreated cautiously.
