No matter how uncomfortable Zhang Yang was, the journey had to continue. Because time was tight, the group of them did not choose the relatively comfortable means of transportation, carriages. Although Li Chengqian had found relatively short and docile horses for Zhang Yang to ride, Zhang Yang still

I feel a little unbearable.

In the later generations, horses have been replaced as a means of transportation and have become farther and farther away from ordinary people's lives. They only exist as a biological species or as a pastime for the rich. Therefore, in the previous life, horse riding was a common people's grassroots publicity.

It is not surprising that he is not familiar with this technique. If he had not practiced Qigong and his physical fitness had become much stronger, whether he could maintain balance on horseback would still be a problem.

Seeing Li Chengqian and his group enjoying themselves 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? He deliberately made this young master look bad, otherwise Zhang Yang couldn't think of the reason why Li Chengqian insisted on following him. He has some abilities, well, he admits that he has many abilities, but Li Chengqian is

Who is the prince of the Tang Dynasty! Even if he beat Zhang Yang to death, he would not believe that Li Chengqian could not find anyone who could compare with him!

Being educated in literature and martial arts, and becoming an emperor is still the mainstream thought of this era. There is no shortage of talents in the royal family!

If he told himself completely about his sister's situation, then he wouldn't have to follow her and suffer this pain. He could be fully prepared and travel, which would be much more comfortable than this. Thinking of this, Zhang Yang felt infinite resentment in his heart and stared at it.

Li Chengqian's smile and eyes were as fierce as flying knives, but it was a pity that this trick was useless for his face.

Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Yang's little actions in a funny way, and smiled quietly, curling his lips, and secretly lamented that he was wiser. Look, with Zhang Yang's company, he also had something to relax during this boring journey. But he was not honest either.

If you make fun of someone, he or she will become angry.

Looking at Zhang Yang's expression to cheer him up, Li Chengqian's mind came back to what Li Shimin said to him before setting off:

"Cheng Qian, do you know why my father asked you to go to Jiangnan at this time? My father knows about Jiangnan, and you also know it. No matter what, it is still a bit dangerous, why does my father still insist on letting you go?"

Li Chengqian's eyes flashed, he sorted out his words, and said respectfully, "My father wants his ministers to learn how to handle political affairs, and wants to train his ministers!"

"As the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, you still have a lot to learn, but one thing is the most important, that is, no matter what happens, even if it is extremely dangerous, any behavior that endangers the stability of the Tang Dynasty must be dealt with head-on.

As the master of the country, we will never allow such rebellion!"

Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian with a very firm look, "The reason why my father asked you to handle this matter this time is to let you understand one thing. As a prince and a heir apparent, what you need is not how high or profound your literary talents are.

Instead of martial arts, you must have a firm heart, a brave heart, and a fearless heart! You must be domineering, courageous, and decisive in killing!"

Li Chengqian's blood boiled after hearing this. He must find a solution to this errand. He is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the future master of this country!

Li Chengqian cupped his fists and bowed, "Father, I am ready and waiting for the order from the south. However, this matter is of great importance. I want to get a certificate so that the local forces can be rectified to prevent the spread of the riots caused by the disaster."

Li Shimin nodded silently. Li Chengqian could consider that these explanations had really put some thought into it. He took out the imperial edict that had been written long ago from the imperial table and said: "Chengqian listens to the edict. I jointly order you to be the patrol envoy to the south of the Yangtze River, and grant you the last resort."

, has the right to kill first and report later, and secretly inspect the area south of the Yangtze River. Set off today."

Li Chengqian was overjoyed and thanked him: "Thank you, father."

This was his first time going out on a business trip, so he was naturally excited to receive such attention from Li Shimin.

Inspection envoys were familiar imperial ministers in the Tang Dynasty. They were generally used to inspect post-war areas and flood-stricken areas. They were responsible for inspecting officials and providing relief to the victims.

This time, a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River caused riots among the victims, and Ma Rong, the governor of Suzhou, was unable to cope with the disaster. It is difficult to judge what the situation was without seeing it with his own eyes. The right to kill first and report later was equivalent to giving him a sword of superiority.

Li Chengqian's trip to the south this time was an extremely dangerous job. It is not known how much respect those victims still have for the royal family. But if they can rebel, Li Chengqian's status as prince is of no use, or it may bring him danger.

So Li Shimin gave him a very high authority. He didn't want to lose his son! This time, it was to temper him rather than kill him!

Li Shimin handed the imperial edict to him personally. At the same time, he took out half of the seal from his arms and said seriously: "This is the token of the couplet. You have half of it here, and the other half is in the hands of Zuo Xiaowei General Su Dingfang. I have already

Let him go to Jiangling and station him nearby. If the situation changes this time, give this seal to Su Dingfang, and he will cooperate with you unconditionally. At that time, there will be no need to consider whether these victims are innocent and our people of the Tang Dynasty.

!”

Li Shimin was a little bloodthirsty when he said this. He is a king, and even if he loves the people, if they do not know the current affairs and affect his rule, he will still suppress them mercilessly with iron blood!

Li Chengqian carefully put the imperial edict and token into his arms. At first, he was still a little confused. He was in Jiangnan. Jiangling was in Jingzhou, so Su Dingfang was stationed in Jingzhou. Water far away could not save the fire near! But after thinking about it, he suddenly understood.

, this time the main purpose is to appease the victims. If the troops that have always been brave and capable of fighting are rashly transferred to Jiangnan, it will not attract attention. When the target is exposed, the emotions of the victims will inevitably riot. Once something extreme is done, it will

It's not beautiful, but it will be different when you are transferred to Jiangling. Jiangling was called Nanjun in ancient times and is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. If necessary, you can go down the river as soon as possible, which is not only fast but also has the effect of a surprise attack.

Li Chengqian secretly praised Jiang, as expected, Jiang is still very old, and he still has a lot to learn!

He kept the two treasures close to his body and said loudly: "Father, please rest assured that I will live up to my high expectations and handle this matter well."

With that said, Li Chengqian exited the palace.

"There is a teahouse in front of you. Let's take a rest! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

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

When no one is around, Zhang Yang now calls him His Highness the Crown Prince. He uses this honorific title in words, but his actions are completely inconsistent with it. Just like now, although he said he came to ask him about something, Zhang Yang has already dismounted.

Walking towards the simple teahouse.
