The old friend bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks descended on Yangzhou in March.
The shadow of the lone sail in the distance is gone in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River can be seen flowing in the sky.
Although a Sui-Tang Grand Canal destroyed Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, it also blessed the city of Yangzhou.
Especially after Li Chengqian led the rise of water transportation, this place became even more prosperous.
Relying on the advantage of water transportation, Yangzhou became the richest city in the world and became the second city after Chang'an.
Whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, it is always full of tourists, and it has gradually become the "first commercial port in the southeast".
Looking at the city in the distance, Li Chengqian's mouth curved.
As if talking to himself, he whispered: "The people living here should be very rich, right?"
Looking from a distance from his position, he could vaguely see a large group of people waiting in front.
Li Chengqian looked up and saw a middle-aged man in official uniform of the Tang Dynasty walking towards him.
Beside him were several local Yangzhou officials.
No need to ask, the person who was surrounded by people like stars holding the moon in their arms was Huainan Road Inspector Shi Yantong.
He is about forty-twenty-two or thirteen years old, and his body is slightly stout.
Yan Tong walked up to Li Chengqian and saluted, "Your Highness has had a hard journey."
He has a gentle smile on his face, which gives people an indescribable sense of intimacy at a glance, making him look like a good old man.
Li Chengqian also smiled and said: "It's really troublesome for Master Yan to come out of the city to greet me in person."
"It is your duty to go out of the city to meet His Highness."
"Besides, I have admired Your Highness for a long time, and it is truly an honor for me to meet you today."
Then, Yan Tong said with a smile: "I have already prepared a banquet in the city. I am just waiting for His Highness to arrive to welcome His Highness."
"Master Yan is interested."
Li Chengqian raised his head slightly and said, "Please lead the way, Master Yan, and I will follow."
"yes……"
It's not too late for Yan Tong Suspicious, he led a group of people and ran towards his carriage and sedan.
After they left.
Li Chengqian turned to look at Changsun Chong beside him and said, "Are you ready?"
"get ready?"
Changsun Chong looked at Li Chengqian with a puzzled face: "What are you ready for?"
"What do you think?"
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Do you think, based on your highness and my reputation in the world, we can see the scene of people crowding the streets to welcome me?"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong was slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help but sigh.
Li Chengqian's reputation in the world is absolutely heinous.
When he came to Yangzhou, Changsun Wuji gave him many instructions to protect Li Chengqian's safety no matter what.
Moreover, whatever Li Chengqian wanted to do, he would do it for him without hesitation.
After saying this, Changsun Wuji did not forget to say to him: "If you want to stay by Li Chengqian's side in the future, this kind of scene is just a small scene."
Thinking of this, Changsun Chong pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. He just sat quietly next to Li Chengqian.
But even though Changsun Chong was already prepared.
But I was still frightened by the scene in Yangzhou City.
As soon as the carriage entered the city, overwhelming curses were heard.
"Get out of Yangzhou, you are not welcome in Yangzhou."
"Get out, get out of here quickly."
"A prodigal who has no king or father, does not abide by the rules, and does not respect the gods is not worthy of entering the city of Yangzhou."
Rotten vegetable leaves came overwhelmingly, hitting the carriage and the soldiers of Qianzi Camp.
But Li Chengqian seemed not to have seen this.
He just raised his hand and waved it left and right at will, sending those flying towards him away.
He opened the rotten vegetable leaves and chatted with Changsun Chong beside him with a leisurely look on his face.
Hou Junji, who was riding beside Li Chengqian's carriage, looked very ugly.
Li Chengqian and Li Shimin are both people he respects.
Now that these people were scolding Li Chengqian in front of him, how could he not be angry?
Furthermore, Li Chengqian was the current King of Qin and the eldest prince.
If the people of Yangzhou treat Li Chengqian like this, isn't it tantamount to slapping Li Shimin in the face?
Yan Tong, the leader, looked at all this with a normal expression.
This person's scheming can be seen from this.
When he went out of the city to meet Li Chengqian, how could he not see the people gathering in the city?
If he really thought about Li Chengqian, how could he not say this?
Furthermore, he is an inspector and has the right to govern a group. If he wants to take charge, will these people still have a chance to assemble?
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to make Li Chengqian feel weak.
After all, the Yan family is also a big family in Huainan Province. If Li Chengqian hadn't targeted the family again and again, the Yan family wouldn't have remained tepid even after he became the inspector.
In his opinion, now that Li Chengqian is scolded by the people, he can still recover a little bit of interest.
But Li Chengqian was unmoved by this.
He and Chang Sun Chong sat on the bench in front of the carriage, watching the abuses of the people as if watching a play.
But he could sit still, but Cheng Huailiang couldn't.
He rode straight up to Li Chengqian's side, opened a few rotten leaves, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, let these people know how to write the word "death"..."
"No need."
Li Chengqian waved his hands casually and said with a smile: "What a great show this is. Since they are willing to perform it, why can't we follow along and watch it?"
Hearing this, Cheng Huailiang took a deep breath and then rode away. Seeing that Li Chengqian did nothing, this made the people even more unscrupulous.
What started as a vegetable leaf turned into a stone.
What started as small pebbles turned into large rocks.
One of the stones went along the car window, opened the curtains, and hit Lu Wanjie inside the car.
Lu Wanjie couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
Li Chengqian frowned slightly and turned to look inside the car.
Lu Wanjie was seen covering her shoulders, biting her lips and shaking her head at him: "It's okay, I'm okay, it doesn't hurt..."
Li Chengqian lowered his head and glanced at the fist-sized stone at her feet, and suddenly clenched his fists.
"I'm not familiar with you, but you're still making fun of me, right?"
Li Chengqian stood up slowly, then turned around and jumped directly onto the carriage.
He stood on the roof of the carriage with lightning eyes, slowly scanning both sides.
Under his sharp gaze, the people on both sides of the street lowered their heads involuntarily.
They all subconsciously avoided this murderous and aggressive look.
Li Chengqian said loudly: "You accuse me of having no king and no father, but I can't stand it anymore."
"You said I was unruly, but I tolerated it."
"You said I disrespected the gods, but I tolerated it."
"But don't think that I have no temper at all, and don't think that I am afraid of you."
"If you were not the common people of the Tang Dynasty, do you believe that I would massacre this city today?"
Li Chengqian looked around at the crowd, and then sneered: "Yangzhou Shilin, are they all a bunch of pigs and dogs?"
"You don't dare to confront me openly, so you have to do these little tricks. Isn't it interesting?"
"Let me ask you, what have you done for the country? What have you done for the people?"
"In my eyes, you will always be a group of clowns trying to please others..."
