Chapter 2010 He Will Not Rebel
Seeing that Zhangsun Wuyi dared to doubt the prince, Wang Zhong's face became serious.
He is the prince's confidant, and he shares the same fate with Crown Prince Li Chengqian. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will also be in charge of the harem and become the chief eunuch of the harem, and naturally he will protect his master.
Moreover, his godfather Wang De had taught him to have a good relationship with Prince Ji, which would be of great benefit to him in the future.
The Changsun Wuyi in front of him was just an official who was demoted because he was not trusted by His Majesty.
I have neither talent nor ability, and I rely entirely on the blessing of the Queen and the grace of Your Majesty.
Such a person is simply insignificant compared to King Ji below.
Changsun Wuyi frowned. He felt Wang Zhong's hostility towards him, but what Wang Zhong said made sense. He had to obey the prince's order.
Helplessly, he bowed and accepted the order.
"I accept your order."
After saying this, Changsun Wuyi waved his hand at his men and said, "Open the city gate!"
With a creaky sound, the gate of Chunming Gate slowly opened. Li Shen took the lead and headed towards the gate, followed in unison by the guards battalion.
Li Shen also heard Wang Zhong's voice just now, and he knew that Li Chengqian would give him this face.
Of course, he couldn't not give himself face. When forced into a corner, Li Shen threw two grenades before leaving.
"Your servant pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."
Wang Zhong was already waiting at the city gate.
"Well, you are very sensible. Here's a reward for you." Li Shen nodded, took out two gold bars and threw them over.
Wang Zhong quickly took it and bowed with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji, for the reward." After thanking him for the reward, Wang Zhong continued:
"Your Highness Prince Ji, His Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting with his ministers at the Suzaku Gate to hold a departure ceremony for Your Highness Prince Ji, but this weapon...
Please understand His Royal Highness Prince Ji, this is the rule after all."
Wang Zhong smiled along. The gentleman in front of him was not easy to serve. Even his godfather was a little afraid of him.
“Don’t worry, I know the rules. The crossbows are already in the carriage at the back, stored separately from the arrows.
The guards only have swords and lances on them, let the Wuhou Guards check them."
Li Shen understood what Wang Zhong meant. Bows and crossbows would cause harm to the prince.
Li Shen had already prepared everything.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji." Wang Zhong felt relieved after hearing this and arranged for the Wuhou Guards to check each of them to see if they were carrying bows and crossbows.

On the tower of Suzaku Gate, Li Chengqian was already waiting with all the officials. Not only that, many common people had also come to watch the fun. No one knew where these people got the news from.
"Your Highness, I still think this is a bit risky. Your Highness is a precious person and should not put himself in danger. Just leave this matter to me."
Yu Zhining, the Minister of the Imperial Court, looked at the crowd below and gave advice.
In his opinion, it was just a departure ceremony, and their three provinces could represent the country. Others didn't even have a departure ceremony.
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I think so too. Why don't we hold a ceremony for His Highness Prince Ji?" Changsun Wuji also spoke in agreement.
"Haha, it's okay. Do you think Prince Ji can still rebel?" Li Chengqian smiled lightly, appearing calm and composed.
"We dare not. We are also worried about the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yu Zhining saluted quickly.
"Don't worry. Based on my understanding of Prince Ji, he will not rebel. Have you ever seen a rebel who started a rebellion at noon?"
"this....."
Li Chengqian made a small joke, but it made the officials around him laugh and cry.
They had all heard about the fact that Prince Ji was sleepy and would sleep until noon every day.
The reason why Prince Ji never attended court to participate in government affairs was because the morning court was too early for him to get up.
Although this reason made these people sneer, the king of these years rarely attended court and would not attend court unless necessary.
"Your Highness, the envoys from various countries in the Honglu Temple have also arrived." At this time, Ma Zhou looked at the crowd below and reported.
There, some envoys from other countries in different costumes gathered, looking towards the east.
"Why are they here? Who notified them?" Changsun Wuji asked with a frown.
"Your Highness, I don't know why they came here. They must have received news." Liu Heng, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, immediately stepped forward to report.
"Nonsense, today is the day that Prince Ji goes to war. If... send someone to tell them to go back." Changsun Wuji's face darkened as he looked at Liu Heng.
He originally wanted to say that if Prince Ji caused any trouble, it would make envoys from other countries laugh at him, but he did not say it out loud for the sake of the royal family's face.
"This..." Liu Heng was a little embarrassed. Although the Tang Dynasty was the suzerain state, it was also a country of etiquette. It had never restricted the personal freedom of envoys.
If we drive everyone away, won't people talk about us?
"Okay, let them watch here. This is good too. It will also let these envoys see what an elite army is.
Those who need to be deterred should be deterred. "Li Chengqian waved his hand. It was just a ceremony, there was no need to make such a fuss. Since this evildoer wanted to cause trouble, then he could just find some spectators.
Li Chengqian didn't believe that Li Shen would dare to do anything wrong.
"Boom, boom, boom..." At this moment, the drumbeats sounded again, but this time they were not urgent drumbeats, but more like the drumbeats of a march.
Everyone looked towards the east at the same time.
"Hua Hua Hua..." A uniform sound rang out, like the sound of footsteps and the sound of armor rubbing against each other.
A moment later, a group of people came from the east.
Li Shen was riding on the little white dragon in front, followed by an infantry phalanx of a thousand people, and behind that was a cavalry phalanx, with each cavalryman leading a warhorse.
This was a temporary decision made by Li Shen. He felt that it was nothing new to just use cavalry. Since they were going to the battle, they had to start marching in step.
Behind the soldiers were various supply vehicles, escorted by the Wuhou Guards.
The team arrived in front of the Suzaku Gate. Li Shen looked up at Li Chengqian. At this moment, Li Chengqian was wearing a golden crown of a crown prince, with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Li Shen was the first to salute.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Thousands of guards behind him followed Li Shenyi in saluting, their voices shaking the sky and echoing throughout the entire palace.
This scene made Li Chengqian, who was standing at the top, feel a surge of emotion. The officials standing beside him were even more shocked.
This is the guard camp of Prince Ji’s Mansion. They are covered in armor and their faces cannot be seen, making them look cold and mysterious.
Most officials had never seen the guard camp of Prince Ji's Mansion. Only some old ministers occasionally saw it once or twice when they followed Li Shimin on outings.
Therefore, when all the officials saw the guard camp today, no one was not shocked. None of them had expected that the King Ji, who they thought was unlearned and idle,
They were able to train such an elite army.
