Back in Taiji Palace, Li Shiming asked Li Zhi what reward he wanted in front of all the officials. No matter what it was, Li Shiming would satisfy him.
However, when Li Zhi opened his mouth, everyone was stunned.
They had already guessed that Li Zhi did not want any reward. After all, he was the Crown Prince. Other than the throne, there seemed to be nothing else that could attract Li Zhi.
However, Li Zhi's next sentence stunned everyone.
"Reporting to Imperial Father, your son does not need any reward. I only hope that Imperial Father can grant your son a request.”
Li Shi Min was interested, but he was in a good mood and laughed out loud.
"Servant Zhi, just say it. As long as the Great Tang has it, Imperial Father can get it for you!”
Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile,""Imperial Father, please grant me a small official position. Your son wants to leave the capital and become an official in the sea!”
Silence! The entire court was silent.
They were all thinking that this Crown Prince couldn't be addicted, right? After being a beggar for four to five months, could it be that he had become addicted to incognito?
He didn't want to be the Crown Prince, didn't want to enjoy the luxurious life, didn't want to pity the beauty in his arms, and actually wanted to be an official?
"No! Your Majesty! In all the dynasties, where had the Crown Prince ever been demoted to be an official? If this were to spread, how would the countries of the world view our Great Tang?”
A censor jumped out and said.
This time, no one objected to him. In fact, many civil officials nodded in agreement. It was indeed inappropriate! As the Crown Prince, Li Zhi was the face of the Great Tang. How could he be demoted to an official?
Even if he wanted to be an official, he could only be an official in the capital! His official position couldn't even be lower, at least not lower than the third rank! Otherwise, it would damage the Crown Prince's dignity!
"Slave Zhi, what do you think?"
Li Shi Min frowned. He didn't agree or reject the offer. Instead, he asked for Li Zhi's opinion.
"Reporting to Imperial Father, since your son has said that he will travel across the Great Tang, I will naturally not give up halfway! Time is different, for the people, for begging, and even for being an official, your son wants to go!”
Li Zhi said, his eyes filled with determination.
Li Shi Min sighed. To be honest, when he found out that Li Zhi had been pretending to be a beggar, his heart was filled with sorrow.
This was the Crown Prince of the Great Tang! Why did he have to suffer like this?
"Alright, since Slave Zhi has already decided, then Imperial Father can't stop you! Then tell Imperial Father, where do you want to be an official? And then what official?"
Li Zhi naturally did not want to become an official for no reason. It was because of the system's mission requirements. As for the place where he became an official, it was also very interesting.
"Reporting to Imperial Father, your son is going to the Land of the Night! Your son only wants the position of a county magistrate!”
"What?"
Not only Li Shi Min, but all the officials present were also shocked.
The Land of Yelang referred to places like Yungui and Chuan! Back then, the Country of Yelang was established in Guizhou. Therefore, since ancient times, this area of Guizhou had an alias, the Land of Yelang.
Although in every dynasty, the Yelang clan (as they would be called in the future) would basically be included in the territory. However, because of the different ethnic groups there, the ones who really held power were actually the tribes.
Even the officials sent by the imperial court basically had no ability to interfere in local politics other than collecting taxes.
Because of their valiant nature, they did not like outsiders to interfere.
Moreover, that place was controlled by all kinds of Tu people. They were the local emperors there, and even the imperial court could not do anything to them.
Hence, the officials sent over were all officials. (It was a system of the Ming Dynasty. The plot needed it, so it was moved to the Tang Dynasty.)）
"Slave Zhi, think carefully. That Ye Lang is not like the capital. "To be honest, even your father can't interfere there. It's really a no-man's land.”
"Even if the Great Tang army reaches Yelang, they probably won't be able to enter. There are poisonous insects everywhere. If something really happens to you there, even Father can't help you.”
Li Shi Min said so much because he did not want Li Zhi to go to Yelang.
However, Li Zhi, who had a system mission, naturally could not follow Li Shiming's will.
"Please grant my wish, Imperial Father."
Li Shi Min took a deep look at the man and finally looked at Ye Gu Cheng who was standing beside Li Zhi and let out a sigh of relief. At least with Ye Gucheng around, Li Zhi wouldn't be in a life-threatening situation.
"Alright, the ruler is not joking. Since I have said it, you can have the reward as you wish. I can only agree to this request.”
"Thank you, Imperial Father!"
Li Zhi was delighted. If Li Shi Min did not give him an official position, he would not be able to complete the mission. Fortunately, his father was very reasonable.
"But you must remember that you must never reveal your identity in the Land of Yelang, because the various races are rampant there, even though they obey the orders of the Great Tang. However, there might be some ambitious people who will secretly attack you!”
"Even if Sword Immortal Qing Yi is here, the Land of Yelang has been mysterious since ancient times. It's best to be careful.”
Li Shi Min said.
Li Zhi nodded.
Immediately, Li Shimin asked the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs to draft a document, naming Mu Zihuang as the county magistrate of Yulang County. He was in charge of politics and public security.
When this document was issued, Li Zhi's mission was finally about to begin. He would take office soon.
