Chapter 2096 Arrival at Liangzhou City
"The wind is whistling and the Yi River is cold. The warrior will never come back once he leaves~~~~"
At the Shili Pavilion west of Chang'an City, Li Shen looked out at Chang'an from afar and was inspired to write poetry. He shouted loudly and passionately.
"Your Highness, it seems a bit unlucky to talk about going to war." Just when Li Shen was in high spirits, Wang Xuance beside him reminded him in a low voice.
"Uh..." Li Shen was speechless. He turned his head and glanced at Wang Xuance. His eyes were filled with inexplicable emotions. He sang loudly in a bad mood:
"The long clouds of Qinghai darken the snow-capped mountains, the lonely city looks towards Yumen Pass, the monkeys on both sides of the river cry incessantly, the light boat has passed through thousands of mountains.
Set off! "
With a loud roar, Li Shen took the lead and galloped away, leaving Wang Xuance a little confused. He remembered the poem by King Ji. The first two lines were fine, but why were the last two lines a little different?
The key is that there is no connection between the beginning and the end.
How could he know that this was Li Shen's random recitation in anger. Li Shen was protesting against Wang Xuance for interrupting his good mood.
Li Shen rode a horse when he came back, and naturally he rode a horse when he went back.
This time he was not as anxious as when he came back. When he came back, Li Shen was not in such a hurry and did not need to travel day and night.
Traveling west from Chang'an, you will first reach Qizhou Prefecture, and then head northwest from Qizhou Prefecture to Longzhou, Jingzhou, Yuanzhou, Huizhou, and Liangzhou.
After traveling for more than ten days in a row, Li Shen felt a little tired, mainly because he had been riding a horse every day and had no mood to appreciate the scenery along the way.
For the past ten days, Li Shen has been living in the city of the prefecture and county, and they did not carry any luggage such as tents.
The food is also very simple.
Li Shen has been suffering from back pain these days. His buttocks hurt from continuous riding, and he was also mentally tortured.
"Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a day in Xizhou? The guards are tired, and the horses need a rest too."
Looking at Li Shen who looked tired, Wang Xuance suggested.
For these military generals, a dozen days of raiding was not a big deal, but for Prince Ji, who had always lived a life of luxury, it must have been extremely painful.
"Well... that's fine. Isn't Li Junxian in Liangzhou Prefecture? Let's take a rest and get some information."
Li Shen nodded. He really couldn't do it anymore. Although a man can't say he can't do it, he really couldn't bear it after more than ten days.
It's no wonder that my dad said that I was weak and incompetent, unable to even tie a chicken. It seems that I really need to practice hard.
I am only twenty years old. If nothing else, it would be good to have eight-pack abs. Unlike now, although I still have abs, it is only one.
"Shi Tou, take my token and go to the governor's mansion. Tell him I will be there soon." Li Shen slowed down and threw his token to Shi Tou.
Shi Tou took it and galloped away on his horse.
Li Shen slowed down to give Li Junxian time to prepare. This is the awareness of being a noble.
When Li Shen's team arrived at Liangzhou City, they saw a lot of people standing at the city gate from afar.
When they got closer, Li Shen could see clearly that this group of people were all in official uniforms, and the leader was the newly appointed Governor of Liangzhou, Li Junxian.
"Your subordinate respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness Prince Ji."
"Welcome to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."
Led by Li Junxian, a group of officials saluted together.
"No need to be polite! Governor Li, how are you? I haven't seen you in Chang'an for several months. I didn't expect that Governor Li would be sent to Liangzhou. It seems that His Majesty trusts you very much."
Li Shen sat on his horse, smiling, and was very affectionate to Li Junxian. He naturally said these words to the officials behind Li Junxian.
It's not like they haven't seen each other for months. They even met not long ago.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I am grateful to Your Majesty for not abandoning me and letting me take on this important task here. I am grateful for your kindness."
Li Junxian looked at Li Shen with gratitude. He naturally understood that King Ji said these words to support him. He had just arrived, so even if it was this matter,
But it was not easy for him to control Liangzhou City when he was unfamiliar with the place. These officials had been operating here for many years and were more deeply rooted than him.
Now that Prince Youji is supporting him, these officials have to give him some respect no matter what.
The influence of Prince Ji's Mansion is spread all over the place, especially in Liangzhou City, where there is an important branch of Prince Ji's Mansion, which is a purchasing point specifically for exchanging things with the Tiele tribes in the north.
From the attitude of these northern barbarians, it can be seen how much respect these people have for Prince Ji's Mansion. In the words of the Tiele tribes, they now rely on Prince Ji's Mansion for food, drink and entertainment.
How could local officials like them possibly afford to offend such a giant?
"Well, since His Majesty has entrusted you with such an important task, you must do your best. And you and Governor Li should work together."
Li Shen nodded arrogantly and gave an encouraging word to the official behind Li Junxian.
"We will definitely assist Governor Li." The officials expressed their opinions one after another.
"Very good." Li Shen was very satisfied.
"Your Highness Prince Ji has been exhausted from the journey. Why don't you go to the Governor's Mansion to rest first? I have prepared a banquet to welcome your Highness Prince Ji."
"Well, okay, let's go."
Just like that, surrounded by a group of officials, Li Shen rode the little white dragon and entered Liangzhou City. It was a pity that Li Shen could not see the bustling crowds in Liangzhou City.
All the way to the governor's mansion, Li Shen did not see a single commoner or merchant.
Li Shen thought to himself, it seems that Li Junxian sent people to clean the streets in advance and drove everyone away.
After entering the governor's mansion, Li Junxian took Li Shen to a courtyard.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji, for building momentum for me just now. I am very grateful."
After Li Shen sat down, Li Junxian bowed to express his gratitude.
"You are too polite, Governor Li. It is just a small favor. I have some selfish motives in helping you. I hope you can take control of Liangzhou soon.
If I really have something to do, you can come quickly to help me."
Li Shen did not hide anything and spoke frankly. This was his original idea. Li Junxian was a card left to him by his father.
It might save his life at a critical moment.
Li Shen naturally needs this card to be more secure. Controlling Liangzhou is the most basic requirement.
It would be terrible if Li Junxian starts to act like an official while we are waiting for rescue.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never delay Your Majesty's important affairs." Li Junxian felt that Ji Wangfu's frankness was very sincere.
It's better than those false ones. Prince Ji saved my life, and this time I was re-inaugurated with the help of Prince Ji.
I will never forget this kindness.
"Well, I am still very confident in your work. Are there any officials among these officials that you find difficult? I will solve them for you.
The most important thing now is to gain control of the military power as soon as possible. Liangzhou is an important city in our Tang Dynasty. We need to guard against invasion by northern barbarians. There are tens of thousands of border troops alone.
In addition, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in the palace. This is very important. The military power must be obtained. Otherwise, they will be used by others to cooperate with the outside world.
Even if I wanted to save you, I can’t do anything.”
(Oh my god, I was late yesterday. Look at what I told you. You can tell me whether I am early or not today.
I'm not one to make excuses.)
