Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 187

"Excuse me, gentlemen, Xiao Wang came in a hurry, so much trouble, Haihan, Haihan."

Although Li Xian had doubts in his heart, but after all, the city is deep, so he wouldn't bring it to his face, so he turned over and got off his horse, raised his hand to the generals with a smile, and greeted them very politely.

"Your Highness has worked hard from afar. The last general is serving in the military, and he has not been able to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

As a landlord and the oldest general, Qibi Heli must bear the responsibility for this reply. Although he really doesn't like Li Xian very much in his heart, he can only reply with a forced smile. One sentence.

In the military?Hey, what a military job!These old guys gathered together, I'm afraid it's not out of good intentions!Li Xian's mind is very keen. Although he doesn't know the specific details, he can guess a general idea. He presumably has something to do with the military power. At the same time, I have also developed an extremely bad habit, that is, the habit of ranking seniority is prevalent. Regardless of whether you are talented or not, if you don't have enough qualifications, don't even think about getting ahead in the army, even if you It was the famous Xue Rengui and General Xue who also squatted at the Xuanwu Gate for more than ten years before they could have the opportunity to lead an army alone. Now, although Li Xiangui is a prince, he has no qualifications in the army. It is obviously not the situation that the veterans of this group of troops want to see under the order to control the troops. It would be really abnormal if they didn't make some fools.

"It doesn't matter, Xiao Wang is young, so it is right to take a few more steps. Since all the gentlemen are here, it will save Xiao Wang to inform separately. There is an order for this, and please accept the order." Li Xian Although he was muttering in his heart, his actions were not ambiguous at all, so he let out a haha, stretched out his hand, took out a yellow silk cover from his bosom, held it in both hands, and raised it above his head, his complexion instantly became serious, He assumed the posture of proclaiming the decree on the spot.

"Your Highness, receiving the order is a major event, and it must not be sloppy. The incense table is not prepared, and the last general has not changed his clothes and bathed. Can you announce it later?" The reason why the generals gathered together was because they did not want to accept this order. At this moment, when Li Xian first arrived, he wanted to announce the decree directly. The generals were not too tired of mentioning it. After the three generals standing in a row exchanged glances with each other quickly, Gao Yan tactfully explained. said a word.

"General Gao's words are justified, and Li also thinks that it is inappropriate to accept the order at this time, so please forgive me, Your Highness."

As soon as Gao Yan's voice fell, Li Jinxing echoed it carelessly.

"That's right, Your Highness, please go and have a rest first, and discuss it before everything is ready."

"Your Highness, please allow me to take a bath and change clothes first."

"His Royal Highness Haihan, we really dare not meet His Majesty's will with our dirty bodies."

With the three generals leading the way, Xu Yuanmao, Liu Zheng and a dozen other generals had no worries, and started to yell at each other because they were unwilling to allow Li Xian to announce the imperial edict smoothly.

"Your Highness, look at this... ah, why don't you rest for a while, your Highness, to refresh yourself, and wait until tomorrow to listen to the instruction?" He had to put on a red face, put on a look of embarrassment, and asked for instructions hesitantly.

Ha, a group of old army sticks played tricks with us, interesting, really interesting!Up to now, Li Xian has completely affirmed his previous guess. Although he was slightly angry in his heart, he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Excellency has good intentions, so I will take it alone. It's just that before coming here, my father has explained that the military situation is urgent, there should be no delay, and I dare not disobey it, so I ask you to accept the order." When Li Xian said this, regardless of the expressions of the generals, he stretched out his hand and pulled the cover, He took out the imperial decree inside, spread it out slowly, and made a general announcement. Seeing this, all the generals had no choice but to kneel down on the ground in resentment.

"The Holy Son of Heaven has an edict saying: Tubo's traitors and thieves have caused great disasters. Xue Rengui and Guo Daifeng have failed me, lost their teachers and humiliated the country, and even corrupted the country. My heart is restless. Fortunately, Zhou Wang Li Xianzhong is brave and commendable , patrol the border on my behalf, give a sword handle, wherever I go, I feel like I am there..." Li Xian turned a blind eye to the flirtatious gestures of the generals below, cleared his throat, and announced loudly , The words are calm but not losing strength, and they are not slow or fast, showing the demeanor of a general.

"The ministers and others take the decree to thank you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

The imperial decree is the imperial decree, so it cannot be ignored in the slightest, the generals have a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts, but no one dares to force themselves at this time, they can only kowtow to thank each other and fail to accept the decree.

"Your Highness has worked hard all the way, and please take a rest at the governor's mansion. I really don't dare to disturb you. I will hold a banquet to cleanse Your Highness in the evening. Your Highness, please!" Although the imperial edict is already He accepted it, but Qibi He Li obviously didn't intend to really regard Li Xian as his boss, so he politely offered to leave.

"Your Highness, please come in and rest, the last general will retire."

The minds of the generals were exactly the same as Qibi Heli's, they didn't want to quarrel with Li Xianduo at this time, following Qibi Heli's words, they asked for resignation one after another.

"Your good intentions, Xiao Wang, have accepted it. Now that the military situation is urgent, the reception banquet will be skipped. You are all tired. It is better to go to rest first. Tomorrow Maoshi will be the commander of the city, and I will ask you to be on time. If not, I have no choice but to ask the imperial bestowed sword to talk, let's go away!" Li Xian knew the cautious thoughts of the generals, and the left and right were just trying to connect together in private, trying to come up with some countermeasures, but it's not a big deal Yes, Li Xian already had a countermeasure, so he didn't care about the resignation of the generals, so he waved his hand and gave a calm expression, but his voice was full of unconcealable sternness.

"The general will wait for orders."

Li Xian issued the order with the imperial decree, even though the generals were dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to insist, they could only bow down to the promise, and dispersed in twos and threes.

These old guys are really not fuel-efficient lamps!Seeing that all the generals said to leave, they all left without a single person left behind. It was clear that they didn't intend to give Li Xian face. Although Li Xian had expected this, he still couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart. With a cry, the already cold eyes became even colder.

"My lower official Lanzhou Inspector Lin Mingdu has met His Highness."

The generals could go away, but Lin Mingdu, the master, couldn't leave, so he could only boldly go forward and bowed to salute.

"Forget it, the governor of Lin has been in the frontier for a long time, and the safety of the Mu side is really hard work. I have traveled all the way alone, and I have seen the people in Lanzhou live in peace, and I have done the work of the governor of Lin. I should show my father the emperor according to the facts. It's the work of the governor of the forest." Li Xian had done his homework before he came, and he knew that Lin Mingdu was quite capable in internal politics, caring for the people, and he was indeed one of the talented local officials, so he also wanted to see if he could do it. Pulling him into his subordinates, seeing him bowing to him at this moment, he would not put on airs, but smiled and said kind words to comfort Lin Mingdu.

"Your Highness is absurdly praised. I really don't dare to take this honor. Your Highness has worked hard all the way. If you don't dislike it, how about asking Your Highness to come in and rest?" I haven't heard all kinds of legends about Zhou Wang Li Xian. I always thought that Li Xian should be a domineering person, but I didn't expect Li Xian to be so easy to talk. My tense heart was relieved, so I rushed to thank you After making a sound, he took advantage of the opportunity to offer an invitation.

"Inspector Lin's good intentions have been accepted, but Xiao Wang is on military affairs this time, so it is not good to disturb too much. If it is convenient for Inspector Lin, he can send someone to lead Xiao Wang to the school grounds to set up camp." Although Li Xian had the intention to win over Lin Mingdu , but he was not in a hurry, and now everything must be military affairs first, so he shook his head with a smile, and declined Lin Mingdu's proposal.

"Ah, that's good. Since that's the case, I will lead the way for Your Highness." Lin Mingdu didn't know Li Xian's depth. He was a little disappointed when he saw that Li Xian refused to live in the Governor's Mansion, but he didn't dare to show it to his face. Come up, but respectfully ask yourself to lead the way.

"Alright, then there will be Inspector Laurin, please!"

With Lin Mingdu, the highest official of a state, coming forward, a lot of troubles can be avoided. Li Xian would not refuse such kindness, so he smiled and waved his hand, signaling Lin Mingdu to go first.

"Your Highness, please!"

Lin Mingdu took half a step back, respectfully waved his hand, and made a "please" gesture, and then carefully accompanied Li Xian and his party to the school grounds on foot... Lanzhou is located in a place where all ethnic groups are mixed , is one of the important military towns. Although the population in the state is not large, the government soldiers are not small. The school grounds used for martial arts are naturally large in scale, but because the front line is tight, most of the government soldiers have already died. He was dispatched to the front line in Yunwu City (now Yongdeng County). At this time, there were only some old and weak soldiers in the martial arts field, and the manpower was quite scarce. However, with Lin Mingdu as the governor, all matters were handled very properly, and it took only half of the time. In more than an hour, all the materials Li Xian needed had been allocated in place, and a small fortress had been erected beside the martial arts arena.

"Inspector Lin has a heart, and Gu is grateful."

Sitting right behind the newly rehabilitated head coach, Li Xian nodded with satisfaction, looked gently at Lin Mingdu who was standing with his hands down, and thanked him politely.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it is my honor to be able to do a meager service for His Highness."

Lin Mingdu couldn't help being a little proud of being able to handle things so smoothly, but in front of Li Xian, he didn't dare to show it, but bowed humbly and thanked him repeatedly.

"Inspector Lin, you are being polite. Well, I still have something to bother Inspector Lin. If possible, I would like to ask Inspector Lin to make arrangements for me. I just want to meet General Xue." Li Xian pressed his hand with a smile, indicating to Lin Mingdu There is no need to be too polite, and then the topic changed and a new request was made.

"what……"

When Lin Mingdu heard this, he couldn't help but froze, and didn't know how to respond for a while——Xue Rengui, Guo Daifeng and other defeated generals are indeed locked in the prison of Lanzhou Mansion, but they don't return Lin Mingdu was in charge, and he was just in charge. After all, these defeated generals were treated as criminals. Before the court made a decision on their crimes, they were all criminals. Outsiders are really not allowed to have private contact with such people.
