Chapter 19: Governor Annan

That night, Chang'an was not sleeping.

Li Shimin learned that Li Yanqing agreed to go south at the first time, but the feeling in his heart was mixed with five flavors.

I thought I would be very happy, but when things were about to come, I was a little disappointed.

It is undeniable that Li Yanqing brought him too much pressure in Chang'an. Even though Yan Qing did not do anything out of the ordinary, Li Shimin felt unable to breathe. He transferred Li Xuanba, pulled Li Jing away, and broke his right arm. The prince took advantage of the situation and gradually controlled the overall situation, with full wings...

And now, Li Yanqing is leaving!

But why didn’t I feel happy at all?

On the contrary, a kind of loss that had never been seen before made Li Shimin feel extremely tired.

It was late at night, and the wind blew outside the house, making it even more bleak.

Li Shimin stood in the corridor, looking at the withered yellow leaves in the garden, and remained motionless for a long time.

Behind him, footsteps came.

A big robe was gently draped on him.

Li Shimin did not look back and suddenly asked, "Xiuxiu, did I do something wrong?"

Princess Wen smiled gently and said softly: "King Qin, you did not do anything wrong! If you say it wrong, you can only say that you are so outstanding!"

"Yeah?"

"The King of Henan is about to leave Chang'an, why are you feeling depressed?"

"I don't know, I always think that I should be very happy... Xiuxiu, you may not know that the pressure on Yangzhen is too great! I don't know whether it is right or wrong to let him leave Chang'an like this... We could have become good friends, but why did it become such a tit-for-tat situation now?"

Princess Wen doesn't know how to answer this question.

"I know!"

Princess Wen said strangely: "What does the King of Qin know?"

Li Shimin sighed, "The world is bustling for profit. My mistake is that I think Yangzhen is the same person as me."

In fact, Li Shimin is a very utilitarian person!

If it is useful to him, he will try his best to obtain it; if it is not beneficial to him, he will never feel any pity.

This was not a mistake at first, but a normal choice. When he surrendered Yuchi Jingde, he did not consider Li Yanqing too much. To a certain extent, Li Shimin believed that Li Yanqing was the same person as him... he would do anything to achieve his goal. Unfortunately, he did not expect that Yanqing would do such intense means.

One wrong step, one wrong step!

When he wanted to save him again, he and Yan Qing had become opponents.

Even though Li Yanqing did not express his clear confrontation with the crown prince, Li Shimin knew that he could not convince Yan Qing.

unless……

A thought suddenly flashed in Li Shimin's mind.

But immediately, he shook his head immediately, trying to drive away the idea.

"When will you leave?"

Princess Wen asked.

Li Shimin thought for a while, "After the winter begins at the latest... I must arrive in Kuizhou before the year before I get out of the year. Then I need to make various preparations. I'm afraid it will be difficult to celebrate the New Year in Chang'an."

"So, I'm carrying someone to prepare my luggage."

Li Shimin turned around and looked at this woman who was almost childhood sweethearted, and couldn't help but feel tenderness in his heart.

He stretched out his hand and hugged the princess in his arms.

With a deep and distant look, Li Shimin suddenly smiled: No matter what, this time I took the lead!

For Li Shimin, driving Li Yanqing out of Chang'an was undoubtedly a correct decision.

As long as Yan Qing is in Chang'an for one day, he will feel an inexplicable pressure. However, this is exactly what Yan Qing wants.

Although Chang'an is big, it is a bit small for Yan Qing!

The edict had not been issued yet, so Li Yanqing also took the opportunity to take a break for several days.

When I go to Lingnan, I don’t know when I will come back. Pei Cuiyun, Changsun Wugui and Xiao Nian cannot follow him. The three children also have to stay in Chang'an. If this were not the case, how could Li Yuan let Li Yanqing leave with peace of mind?

Therefore, Yan Qing happened to spend her leisure time with her family all day long.

However, while taking advantage of his spare time, Li Yanqing invited some friends to meet each other.

For example, Kong Yingda and others who walked out of the Qilin Pavilion were now emerging in the court; Dou Wei, Dou Fengjie, Dou Xian and others went to visit him when they were free. Without knowing it, they made proper arrangements for their confidants.

For example, Song Lingwen was sent to the Northern Yaman.

Wang Zheng’s nephew Wang Hu was also transferred to Chang'an.

Xiongwei family opened a business in Chang'an, and through the relationship between warriors, they quickly gained a foothold in Chang'an.

In addition, Changsun Wuji also entered Chongwenguan under the arrangement of Li Yanqing and was appointed as a direct bachelor's degree.

Chongwenguan belongs to the East Palace. Yan Qing gained the trust of Li Jiancheng through this method and ensured that his family was worry-free.

Zheng Dabiao and Liu Heng also obtained a top-notch background.

In September of the third year of Wude, Li Daoxun was ordered to serve as the position of Jingxiangdao Daxingtai, the general manager of Xiangzhou, and the governor of the governor.

When he first took office, he asked the court to transfer Xu Shiji and Su Dingfang to Xiangzhou. Li Yuan agreed to Li Daoxuan's request without hesitation, and appointed Xu Shiji as General Zuowuhou and Su Dingfang as General Zuotun Guard, and went to Xiangzhou to assist Li Daoxuan in his actions.

On September 18, Li Yuan issued another edict, ordering King Li Yanqing of Henan to be the general of Tianxiong, and to establish the three departments of the prefectures and to grant the title of the 54 prefectures and counties in Lingnan, and to establish the Annan Governor's Office, and to grant Li Yanqing the Great Governor's Office.

After Li Yanqing received the order, he couldn't help but feel happy!

"If Your Majesty goes to do business, it will definitely be a huge profit!"

Duoduo said curiously: "What do you mean? Is this official position not good?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head repeatedly and explained to Duoduo: "It's not bad, it should be said to be very good... Haha, just do you know what's going on in the 54 counties in Lingnan?"

Not to mention Duoduo is unclear, even Li Yanqing herself cannot explain it.

Pei Cuiyun asked someone to take a map of Lingnan, and Changsun Wuji drew a circle on it, "In terms of regional perspective, the Annan Protectorate almost divided Lingnan Road into two, including nearly half of the Lingnan area. However, most of these areas are wilderness. There are no towns or villages, and they are controlled by the local indigenous Liman."

"ah?"

"There are more than ten prefectures and counties, including Jiaozhi, Luzhou, Fengzhou, Fuluzhou, Wu'anzhou, etc., which are still under Xiao Xian's rule.

During the Kaihuang period of the previous dynasty, after Emperor Wen of Sui pacified Jiangnan, he tried to develop these places, so he established 54 prefectures and counties, and recruited the Lishou of Qinzhou, Ning Mengli to join the court. However, due to various reasons, Ning Mengli was unable to come in the end, but instead asked his son Ning Changzhen to come to the palace to meet... Emperor Wen of Sui attaches great importance to the Ning clan of Qinzhou and also granted Ning Changzhen the governor of Qinzhou. Later, Yang Guang ascended the throne, first started a war against Tuyuhun, and then successively used troops to Goguryeo... so that the prefectures and counties in Lingnan were in a state of abandonment, and Ning Changzhen was always in charge of this area."

"Isn't that the so-called Annan Governor's Office has nothing?"

Duoduo couldn't help but exclaim, "What's the use of nourishing the real thing?"

Li Yanqing smiled but didn't say anything.

He stood in front of the map, watching quietly, without saying a word.

"You can't say nothing."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "In fact, during the Renshou period, there was still the early years of Daye. In order to ensure the development of Lingnan Road, the imperial court even transferred the local emperor Feng Ang to the Central Plains. However, after the failure of the three campaigns of Goguryeo, the world was in chaos. Feng Ang took the opportunity to return to Lingnan, which forced the development to be suspended. Now, Qinzhou and Yongzhou still have some foundations.

But apart from that, there will inevitably be some desolation in other states and counties..."

"What a desolate thing? If you want me to say, it's just a mess... I'll keep it true, otherwise you will tell His Majesty to not go."

Pei Cuiyun frowned and couldn't help complaining.

"There is nothing, and you have to face two local snakes... Whether it is the lie or the Feng family, you have not decided your position yet. Yang Zhen has passed by so naked, wouldn't he be slaughtered? No, it's too dangerous, it's better not to go."

I thought Lingnan was a good job, but now it seems that this is not the case.

It would be fine to exile, but it would look even more dangerous.

The company commander Sun Wugui showed a look of worry. He looked at Li Yanqing. Although he had not spoken, his bright eyes were filled with her worries.

"In fact, there may not be too many dangers."

Li Yanqing suddenly spoke, fingering a sea area, "This place is not bad, the products are very rich, and there is also a natural port that can be used. From this, you can see the southeast from a bird's eye view... Haha, if not, how could Your Majesty give me such great power?"

Holding the flag, the Grand Governor?

This power is like the governor of the late Tang Dynasty.

If it weren't for such a desolate place, I'm afraid Li Yuan wouldn't let Li Yanqing go so far.

"Auxiliary machine, send someone to Luoyang immediately and ask Mr. Chai to send the guy named Funan to Gong County quickly."

Funan is the envoy of Zhenla Kingdom.

This Zhen La Kingdom is Cambodia in later generations.

At the end of Daye, the king of Zhenla Kingdom, Yishana, first sent an envoy to Luoyang to meet him.

Unexpectedly, it would be fine if Funan did not see Yang Guang. Not long after, the world was in chaos and he stopped his way to return to China. As the situation worsened day by day, Luoyang Honglu Temple did not care about this envoy of Zhenla Kingdom. Funan was pitiful enough. After using up his money and silk, he had to rely on work in Tongyuan City. After the defeat in Luoyang, Chai Xiaohe entered Luoyang as soon as possible, and discovered Funan, leaving him by his side.

Unexpectedly...

Li Yanqing smiled and said to Changsun Wugui: "Don't worry, Guanyin maid, I have great powers, your husband... I look like Lingnan, but I just act like this."
To be continued...
