Li Chengqian was immediately stunned. He looked at the elites of the Tang Dynasty above and below the city, holding their weapons high and shouting wildly. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Cheng Chubi.
The host of His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty Crown Prince's Entrance Ceremony forced out an awkward yet polite smile and spread his hands. He meant that it was none of my business...
These elite members of the Sixteenth Guards are not something I, the deputy leader of the left palace in the east palace, can command and move.
Including the uniform shouts of the soldiers on and off the city when they entered the city before, they should all come from your own father's handiwork, okay?
Li Chengqian also reacted and suddenly turned his head to look at the main entrance of the Suzaku Gate, which was slowly opening.
Under the shouts and gazes of the officials and elites of the East Palace, more than ten thousand soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of people.
Li Chengqian held up the crown on his armrest, pushed the golden mountain towards the open Suzaku Gate, towards the Hanyuan Hall, and fell to the ground with the jade pillars overturned.
"Father and son, I'm back..." Li Chengqian whispered. Next, he pursed his lips and shouted as loudly as he could.
"Father, my son has returned home..."
The civil and military personnel behind him, as well as the generals and soldiers from the East Palace, as well as the children and scholars, all bowed to the ground.
Zhao Kun was on the top of the city, sniffing with slightly red eyes, suddenly turning around and running towards the city. He wanted to rush back to His Majesty as quickly as possible and tell His Majesty that the prince had returned home.
At this moment, Li Shimin also heard the noise coming from several miles away. Although he couldn't hear it clearly, he knew that it was Prince Cheng Qian who had arrived at Zhuque Gate.
"Fang Qing's family, Li Laoqing's family..." Li Shimin pursed his lips and glanced at the two people at the head of the civil servants and the head of the military ministers.
"I'm here..." Fang Xuanling and Li Jingyue came out and stood respectfully at the foot of the steps.
Li Shimin glanced at the two of them, then at the civil and military officials in the palace, and then gave instructions loudly.
"Thank you, the two ministers will lead a hundred officials to welcome the prince back to the court."
"I accept the decree!" Fang Xuanling and Li Jing raised their heads in astonishment, glanced at His Majesty, then at each other, and then replied loudly.
This was something that had never been done since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. It seemed a bit unconventional. However, His Majesty's categorical and unquestionable tone made them dare not doubt it.
On the contrary, Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou and other pure ministers showed joy on their faces. His Majesty's actions can be said to be building momentum for His Royal Highness.
It is also an edict to the civil and military officials of the court and the world that the status of the prince cannot be shaken.

There was no trace of emotion on Changsun Wuji's face. He respectfully followed the other ministers and saluted His Majesty.
Immediately after Fang Xuanling and other officials left the Hanyuan Hall, they walked to the square under the guidance of the eunuchs, and then lined up on both sides, waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness.
Among the crowd, the princes King Li Tai of Wei and King Li Ke of Wu were walking one behind the other.
Li Ke could feel that the fourth brother, who was so fat that there were stripes on his robe, was in poor mental condition today.
Especially when I heard that my eldest brother was going to enter Chang'an through Mingde Gate, and when my father ordered all the officials of the East Palace to leave Hanyuan Hall and go to Zhuque Gate to greet the prince.
He also ordered the Zhuque Gate to be opened wide, allowing the prince to enter the palace through the Zhuque Gate.
After each decree, Li Ke could see Wei Wang Li Qin's face twitching and the corners of his eyes twitching.
Li Ke almost burst into laughter several times. Fortunately, as an excellent royal tool, he spent a lot of time with the troublesome brother Chu Bi.
He has been able to control his emotions well. At this moment, taking the opportunity of going down the steps, Li Ke specially reached out to give his fat-headed and big-eared fourth brother a hand.
Facing the other party's tearful eyes, Li Ke asked with concern. "Fourth brother, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? I've seen you look ugly several times today."
Facing Li Ke's gaze, he always felt that this third brother could not have the right to inherit the throne and did not pose any threat to him.
Li Tai felt a little warm in his heart, but after hearing the caring words from his third brother, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"Is there any? Oh, it may be that my stomach is not feeling well, little brother."
"Hey...could it be that he did it again?" Li Ke suddenly looked down with a shocked look on his face.
Li Tai's anus tightened when he saw it, and he almost stumbled down the steps. His head shook rapidly. "Absolutely not, maybe he has a bad stomach."
"Oh, that's good. But don't worry, fourth brother. If there is a problem, treat it quickly. Don't delay. Don't delay like last time."
Faced with the concern of this third brother, Li Tai grumbled a little embarrassedly for a long time before he got rid of his brother who was really concerned about him.
He lined up with a group of brothers and stood quietly on both sides of the royal road. He reached out and touched the three volumes of "Kuo Di Zhi" in his arms.
King Li Tai of Wei gritted his teeth. No matter what, today, he must follow his uncle's instructions and present these three volumes of "Kuo Di Zhi".
No matter how good Li Chengqian is, he can only rely on others, but I, the king, rely on his own ability.
However, when he thought of Cheng Chubi, the king of monsters and moths, Wei King Li Tai couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.
Perhaps if I had been a little kind to Cheng Chubi, a vulgar warrior, he might have been able to serve under my command.
If this is the case, perhaps, such twists and turns as today will not happen again...
"Quiet! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived..." At this moment, a harsh shout suddenly came from his ears, causing Li Tai to turn his head in the direction of the Suzaku Gate.
#####
Li Shimin, who originally stayed in the almost empty Hanyuan Hall, saw Zhao Kun coming in a hurry.
When Zhao Kun came to him from the side, and after a while of playing in a low voice, Li Shimin, the strong-willed Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, couldn't help but feel a little astringent in his eyes.
"This child...well, he is a filial child..."
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived." A eunuch came quickly, bowed down and reported.
"When the emperor heard that the prince had entered the Suzaku Gate, he insisted on waiting outside the palace."
Li Shimin changed his eyes, stood up and walked towards the main hall.
"That's all, I'll go out and take a look. It's not interesting to stay here alone."
#####
Li Chengqian strode forward, and the majestic and very tall Hanyuan Hall was getting closer and closer.
When he saw the civil and military officials standing on both sides of the road in front of Hanyuan Hall, Li Chengqian's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
Even those subordinates of the Eastern Palace who followed Li Chengqian on foot quickly all gasped in unison.
This scene was really unexpected. At this moment, Fang Xuanling and Li Jing nodded slightly in tacit understanding.
They shouted in unison, "Welcome to His Majesty the Crown Prince to return to the court..."
All the ministers and ministers also saluted and greeted the triumphant return of His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty...
