Volume 1 Digging a hole

The eldest grandson is gone after all.

Li Chengqian held Li Lizhi's hand and watched the carriage driving away quietly at the Shili Pavilion. After all, he felt a little more sad about parting.

And Li Lizhi, who was full of curiosity about the new world just now, could not escape the ending of crying.

Taking one last look at the direction of Chang'an City, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "Pack up and set off."

Chang'an is not his Chang'an after all. No matter how prosperous and majestic it is, it is not his Chang'an.

This point has been very clear since he traveled through time.

Because there were more Li Lizhi and several more palace maids, the original three carriages were not enough.

We had no choice but to let the wounded soldiers squeeze into a carriage, one for the four palace maids, and one for Li Chengqian and Chang Le.

Soon, the soldiers packed up everything and everyone set off again.

In the carriage, Li Lizhi lay on Li Chengqian's lap, sobbing softly, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are we unable to go back? Will we never see our queen mother and father again?"

She was born in the Deep Palace Courtyard since she was a child. Even though she is only in her teens, she knows a lot more than her peers.

"Silly girl, as long as you want to come back, no matter when or where, big brother will take you back." Li Chengqian patted her head and said with a smile.

Seeing this girl, Li Chengqian couldn't help but think of his daughter in his previous life, who was as big as hers, but very naughty, and acted weird all day long.

If he had a choice, he really didn't want to travel to this crappy place.

Even if he was asked to time travel directly into an emperor, he wouldn't do it!

But now that things have come to this, he can only try his best to survive.

Yes, everything he is doing now is just to survive.

To be honest, he would feel uneasy if he didn't leave Chang'an for a day.

There is no way, he is not the real Li Chengqian, he just inherited Li Chengqian's memory and wore his body.

It is simply nonsense to ask a person from later generations to immediately integrate into the Tang Dynasty and become a qualified Tang Dynasty person, or even the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

God knows how he survived this period of time?

Don't be sloppy when it comes to sitting up, lying down, and standing up. Before you say every word, you have to go through it in your mind first.

Such days are really too painful...

Seeing that Li Lizhi was still crying, Li Chengqian patted her head and said, "How about big brother telling you a story?"

Li Lizhi said nothing and just nodded.

Her mind was very confused at the moment. She was not only looking forward to the novel things Li Chengqian said, but also feeling reluctant to let go of her father, the emperor, and her mother.

Of course Li Chengqian knew that it was not difficult for him to coax a child, so he immediately said: "Once upon a time, there was a princess who was as beautiful as our little Changle..."

After talking for more than half an hour, Li Lizhi fell asleep while listening, while Li Chengqian gently patted her back and covered her with the blanket he had prepared earlier.

This made him feel like he was coaxing his daughter to sleep. Maybe he needed someone to carry his feelings, otherwise this strange and cold world to him would be too boring.

After settling Li Lizhi, he was thinking about changing to a carriage.

Although his carriage was considered to be the best in the Tang Dynasty, the bumps along the way almost broke his waist.

"Zhao Yan." Li Chengqian slightly opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw Zhao Yan riding outside and said, "You take two people and rush to Jingyang County. We will settle in Jingyang tonight. You go find it first."

A place to stay.”

Zhao Yan was the one who accompanied Li Chengqian to Chang'an with Liu San, and he was also the first batch of wounded soldiers to recover.

"Do we need to inform the Yamen?" Zhao Yan asked.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "Since we have left Chang'an, we don't need to act like a prince, we can just find a clean inn or private house.

By the way, I think we don't have much food. After you arrive in Jingyang, arrange a place to stay and go find a food store. If you still have time, ask where you can buy a carriage."

"I humbly accept my order." With that said, Zhao Yan rode away.

He didn't leave in a hurry, but first called others to guard Li Chengqian's car, and then he took two people and rode quickly towards Jingyang.

After arranging this, Li Chengqian continued to make future plans in his mind.

At the same time, in Chang'an City, Li Chengqian's westward journey caused an uproar among the nobles.

Especially among the gentry group, it aroused public outrage.

It's only been two hours since morning. Originally, everyone should go home and rest for a while, and then continue their errands after they have rested.

But it was different today. Whether they were civil servants or military attachés, they all gathered together in twos and threes.

No way, Li Chengqian's departure had a huge impact on Datang.

In Lu Yushi's mansion, the hall was also full of people, all officials of the noble clans, as well as some representatives of various noble clans in Chang'an City.

Everyone was talking about what happened today, and for a while, the hall was noisy.

"Okay, okay, okay." Master Cui said, "Everyone knows the matter. The question now is, what should we do next? This time, the prince's departure is a huge blow to us nobles. Brother Lu

, you are the person involved today, why don’t you come and talk about it?”

Lu Yushi frowned, but he still had to bite the bullet and said: "Everyone, His Highness the Crown Prince let us off the hook today. If he hadn't interceded for us before leaving, our fate today would be unpredictable..."

He really didn't want to keep struggling with them.

You know, it was only a matter of words for him to confiscate his house and exterminate his family today. He finally climbed back from the hell, and he didn't want to try it again.

Forcing the prince to abdicate and commit suicide in court...

Thinking about it now scares him!

"That's not what you say." Mr. Cui waved his hand and said, "It is inevitable that the prince will intercede for us. If he really pushes our nobles to a dead end today, how will he gain a foothold in the court even if he can return to Chang'an in the future?

How to take over the world?

Don’t forget that our gentry officials accounted for a full 40% of the entire Tang Dynasty, including those noble officials.

If we, the noble clan, were not there to help the Li family govern the world, wouldn’t they be able to read a bunch of generals with those big words?"

Everyone else nodded after hearing this.

In fact, it is not surprising. These days, the power of the gentry is indeed too huge.

You know, when the "Clan Chronicle" was revised a few years later, the Cui family was ranked first, surpassing the Li family royal family. In the end, Li Shimin was so angry that he ordered a re-edit, forcibly replacing the Cui family.

Classified as third class.

From here, you can see how powerful the noble clan was at this time!

It is precisely because of this strength that the sons of the noble clan are more confident than others no matter what they do.

"I have notified Jingyang." Master Cui continued, "The magistrate of Jingyang is a member of my Cui family. Not only that, nearly 40% of the shops in Jingyang belong to my Cui family.

Since the prince's trip to the west is a temporary one, he will definitely rest in Jingyang and replenish supplies.

What I mean is that if everyone gets involved and mobilizes the forces of each family, it would be best if the prince cannot replenish supplies along the way, and he will eventually come back disgraced."

For Mr. Cui, he only felt that what he experienced today was a great shame and humiliation.

Even though Li Shimin had been looking for opportunities to deal with the nobles, he had never been so rude to Li Chengqian.

Aren't you determined to go west? I'll let you not even get the most basic food. It depends on how you go west. When you come back disgraced, I'll see how you face the civil and military officials of the dynasty.

It is really not difficult for them as nobles to do this.

It is true that the gentry did not produce high-ranking officials, but the low-level officials and middle-level officials were almost monopolized by them!
