Chapter 2652 Listen to General Cheng's order to return to the north early tomorrow morning
Prince Li Chengqian was taking a walk along the canal, followed by a group of East Palace guards led by Yuchi Baoqing.
And in a small and quiet manor house about two miles away from the dock, it has become the temporary residence of the Tang Dynasty Crown Prince in Yangzhou.
As for Jiangdu Palace, haha, if I kill this prince, I won’t be willing to be frightened again.
As for Yangzhou City, hehe, many officials in Yangzhou City had problems. For safety reasons, neither Yu Zhining nor Cheng Yaojin approved of the prince moving to live in the city.
Fortunately, there are many houses in Yangzhou Wharf, and some rich families from Jiangnan who like the atmosphere have also built cottages along both sides of the canal.
Therefore, Li Chengqian lived outside Yangzhou City under the protection of heavy troops.
Just as I was walking in the Prince's Palace, I heard the sound of galloping hooves coming from behind me. I turned around and saw dozens of horses galloping towards me.
The leaders were none other than Zuotunwei General Cheng Yaojin and Yu Zhining, who came to fight horses hand in hand.
As for Zhao Kun, he decided to continue his development in the Zuotunwei camp and infiltrated into the ranks of General Cheng's soldiers.
At this moment, he picked up a bronze mirror there and held a razor in his hand. After thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth, chopped off his foot, and cut it directly.
I decided to change to a more alternative and non-mainstream Hu shape to avoid surprises that would make people see me at a glance.
"General Cheng, Yu Zhan, are you looking for an orphan?" Li Chengqian stood still and nodded at the two men and asked.
General Cheng strode forward, bowed, and lowered his voice to report.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has sent an envoy here. He has something important to report to Your Highness."
"What's the matter?" Li Chengqian asked subconsciously.
"Your Highness, what your Majesty has given you is a secret decree. Please also ask your Highness to choose a quiet place..."
"Understood, follow me over there." Li Chengqian looked around, his eyes fell on a quiet and deserted water-viewing pavilion not far away, and he strode straight towards that direction.
#####
Whether it was General Cheng's personal soldiers or Li Chengqian's bodyguards, they all stayed thirty steps away. There were only a few people in the pavilion.
Only then did the Qianniu Preparation take out the secret edict written by His Majesty from his arms, and respectfully presented it with both hands.
Li Chengqian grabbed it with his hand and couldn't wait to open it. With only one glance, the face of the Tang Dynasty Prince began to turn pale instantly.
"How is this possible? My father's body has always been healthy, and the care he has taken over the years is not as good as it was back then, but he will never be bedridden out of anger..."
At this moment, Li Chengqian, whose eyes were already faintly red, roared.
"Where's Brother Chu Bi? Brother Chu Bi is in Luoyang, isn't he? Why don't you hurry up and send him to Jinyang?"
Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so out of sorts, Yu Zhining quickly stepped forward and whispered comforting words.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please calm down! Your Majesty is only seriously ill and there is no fear for his life. Moreover, Little Cheng Taibao is rushing to Jinyang at night and night, and he may arrive soon."
Cheng Yaojin nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, you should believe in Quanzi's medical skills. With that boy by your Majesty's side, your Majesty will be safe."
"At this moment, His Majesty orders His Highness to return to the capital. I hope that Your Highness can take charge of the overall situation in the Imperial Capital during the period when His Majesty has not recovered from his illness and can only stay in Jinyang."
With the comfort of Yu Zhining and Cheng Yaojin, and the testimony of the imperial guard, Li Chengqian finally calmed down.
After exhaling the turbid air in his chest, Li Chengqian still asked with some urgency.
"General Cheng, when will we set off to return to Luoyang?"
"I know that Your Highness is eager to return home at this moment, but when the army moves, food and grass go first. Now among the army, there is only less than ten days of food and grass to support it."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel anxious.
"If you want to return to the army as soon as possible, what should you do? You can't stay here in Yangzhou forever and wait for enough food and grass to be collected before setting off, right?"
As the commander-in-chief of this large army, Cheng Yaojin was well prepared and calmly answered Li Chengqian's doubts.
"Lao Cheng thought that we should first ask the prince to preach (the prince's order was called a religion in the Tang Dynasty). He ordered the states and counties along the river to prepare grain and grass to support the army."
"And the army will set off tomorrow and look north. However, the matter in Yangzhou has not yet been concluded, and a team of troops will be left in the end to ensure everything is in place."
"Okay, let's set out tomorrow, General Cheng."
"As for Zhan Shi, I ordered everyone in the East Palace to pack their bags before midnight tonight. Everyone is ready to return north early tomorrow morning after General Cheng's order."
"I understand, I will make arrangements immediately." Yu Zhining nodded and obeyed the order solemnly.
General Cheng also said goodbye and left. He had to rush back to the camp to arrange for those left behind, and he also had to arrange for manpower to rush to the counties and counties along the way to find enough supplies.
Following the movements from the East Palace attachés and the Zuotunwei camp, the news soon spread to both inside and outside Yangzhou City.
Those who have received the news will naturally pass it on immediately and have people fly to Luoyang.
#####
Even though I know that His Majesty's health should be fine, the problem is that His Majesty has to act, and I and others are supporting roles, so we have to cooperate seriously.
If someone sees the flaw and ruins His Majesty's important affairs, Cheng Chubi feels that even a meal of flesh and blood can't make his father-in-law go away the hatred in his heart.
Therefore, after Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke left Luoyang, they turned on the acceleration mode and flew all the way.
Finally, at a speed that was not much different from the 800-mile rush, we arrived at Jinyang, which was more than a thousand miles away.
As the youngest and most famous master of traditional Chinese medicine in the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Sanlang was introduced to Jinyang Palace as soon as he arrived in Jinyang.
This news soon reached the ears of those who had been sending people to keep an eye on the movements of Jinyang Palace.
Chu Suiliang had already conveyed the news to Changsun Wuji who was in Luoyang.
He also learned from his confidants that Cheng Sanlang and Wu King Li Ke had arrived in Jinyang together, and they were quietly taken into Jinyang Palace as soon as possible.
Chu Suiliang almost didn't hesitate, and immediately started writing like flying dragons, and after writing the secret letter.
He also told his confidants to leave Jinyang quietly and must deliver it to Luoyang in the shortest possible time and deliver it to Changsun Wuji.
At the same moment, brothers Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke were grinning and rubbing their legs, sitting in a palace in Jinyang Palace, waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
He touched his belly, which had lost a lot of weight, and his two hot thighs.
Li Ke, who had not worked so hard for many years, waited for a long time and did not see his biological father show up, so he was about to complain.
He heard footsteps coming from outside the palace door, and then, his father Li Shimin, who had flying stars on his temples and looked very haggard, walked into the palace.
