It is not easy to be a monk in the Tang Dynasty

No matter how uncomfortable Zhang Yang was, the journey still had to continue. Because of the urgency of time, the group of them did not choose a carriage, a relatively comfortable means of transportation. Although Li Chengqian had already found relatively small and docile horses for Zhang Yang to ride on, Zhang Yang still I feel a little unbearable.

Living in later generations, horses have been replaced as a means of transportation, and they are getting farther and farther away from the lives of ordinary people. They only exist as a biological species, or as a pastime for the rich. It is not surprising that he is not familiar with this kind of technique. If he hadn't practiced Qigong, his physical fitness has become stronger, and it is still a question of whether he can maintain balance on horseback.

Looking at Li Chengqian's group of people relaxed and freehand as if they were having fun on an outing, Zhang Yang admitted that he was deeply jealous!

He must have done it on purpose, right?Deliberately making this young master look ugly, otherwise Zhang Yang really couldn't think of the reason why Li Chengqian insisted on following him. He has some abilities, well, he admits that he has a lot of abilities, but who is Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty!Even if Zhang Yang was killed, he wouldn't believe that Li Chengqian couldn't find anyone who could compare with him!

Learning literary and martial arts, goods and imperial families are still the mainstream thinking of this era, and the royal family has never been short of talents!

If I told myself all about my sister's situation, then I wouldn't have to follow along to suffer this pain, and I could go out after I was fully prepared. It must be much more comfortable than this.Thinking of this, Zhang Yang felt infinite resentment in his heart, staring at Li Chengqian's smiling face fiercely like a flying knife "swish" and flew over, but it's a pity that the empress dowager face, this trick is useless.

Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Yang's little movements amusedly, curled the corner of his mouth with a smile, secretly sighed in his heart that he was still wise, look, with Zhang Yang's company, there is something to relax during this boring journey.But he is not easy to make fun of openly, someone will become angry.

Looking at Zhang Yang's expression, he felt happy, and Li Chengqian's mind resurfaced what Li Shimin said to himself before departure:

"Chengqian, do you know why my father asked you to go to Jiangnan at this time? My father knows about Jiangnan, and you know it too. No matter what, it's still dangerous. Why does my father still insist on letting you go?"

Li Chengqian's eyes flickered, he sorted out his words, and said respectfully, "Father wants my ministers to learn how to handle political affairs, and wants to train them!"

"As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, you still have to learn a lot, but one thing is the most important, that is, no matter what happens, even if it is dangerous, as long as it endangers the stability of the Tang Dynasty, you must deal with it head-on. As the master of the country, this kind of rebellion will never be allowed!"

Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian, his eyes were very firm, "The reason why my father asked you to deal with this matter this time is to let you understand one thing. As a prince and a heir, what you need is not so much literary talent or depth." Martial arts, but a firm heart, a brave heart, a fearless heart! Be domineering, courageous, and decisive!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and he must find a solution for this errand. He is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the future ruler of this country!

Li Chengqian clasped his fists and bowed, "Father, my son is ready, just wait for the order to be sent south, but this matter is of great importance, and my son wants to ask for a certificate, so that the local forces can be rectified to prevent the riots from spreading."

Li Shimin nodded silently. Li Chengqian took some thought into these explanations, took out the imperial decree from the imperial table and said: "Chengqian listens to the decree. I ordered you to be the inspector of the south of the Yangtze River, and granted you a last resort." , have the right to kill first and play later, and secretly inspect a place in the south of the Yangtze River. Depart immediately."

Li Chengqian thanked him with great joy: "Thank you, Father Emperor".

This was the first time he went out on business, so he was naturally excited to receive such attention from Li Shimin.

In the Tang Dynasty, inspectors were equivalent to the familiar imperial envoys. They were generally used to inspect post-war areas and Shuizao disaster areas, responsible for inspecting officials and providing relief to victims.

This severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River caused riots among victims of the disaster, and Ma Rong, the governor of Suzhou, failed to fight the disaster. It is difficult to judge what the situation is without seeing it with his own eyes.

This time Li Chengqian went south, but it was an extremely dangerous errand. It is not known how much respect those victims had for the royal family, but if they could rebel, Li Chengqian's status as prince would still be of no use, or it might even bring him danger.

So Li Shimin gave him very high authority, he didn't want to lose this son!This time, it was a kind of tempering rather than killing him!

Li Shimin handed over the imperial decree to him.At the same time, he also took out half of the seal from his bosom and said solemnly: "This is the token of the Union. You have half of it here, and the other half is in the hands of Su Dingfang, General Zuo Xiaowei. Station nearby. If the situation changes this time, give this seal to Su Dingfang, and he will cooperate with you unconditionally. At that time, you don’t have to consider whether these disaster victims are innocent or not, or people of our Tang Dynasty!”

Li Shimin was a bit bloodthirsty when he said this. He is a king, even if he loves the people, but if they don't know the current affairs, once they affect their own rule, they will still suppress them mercilessly!

Li Chengqian carefully put the imperial decree and the token into his arms. At first, he was still a little puzzled, he was in the south of the Yangtze River.And Jiangling is in Jingzhou, let Su Dingfang be stationed in Jingzhou, far away water can't save near fire!But after thinking about it, I suddenly realized that this time the main purpose was to appease the victims. If you rashly transfer the always brave and skilled troops to the south of the Yangtze River, it is impossible not to attract attention. When the target is exposed, the emotions of the victims will inevitably riot. If something drastic happens, it is not beautiful, and it will be different when transferred to Jiangling.Jiangling, known as Nanjun in ancient times, is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. If necessary, you can go down the river in the first time, which is not only fast but also has the effect of a surprise soldier.

Li Chengqian secretly admired, Jiang is really old and spicy, and he still has a lot to learn!

Keep the two treasures close to your body.He said in a loud voice: "Father, rest assured that this minister will live up to his high expectations and handle this matter well."

With that said, Li Chengqian exited the palace.

"There is a tea room in front, let's rest your feet! Your Royal Highness!"

Zhang Yang's voice brought back Li Chengqian's thoughts, seeing Zhang Yang's unhappy face, Li Chengqian felt happy.

When there is no one around, Zhang Yang now calls him His Highness the Crown Prince, and his mouth is such an honorary title, but his actions are completely out of tune with this, just like now, although he said he came to ask him something, but Zhang Yang has already dismounted, Walk towards the simple tea house.

Li Chengqian knew that Zhang Yang used this method to express his dissatisfaction, so he shook his head and smiled, he was still a child after all.
