Li Shiming's actions were very fast. When Li Yuanba returned to the inn with Li Yonghao, Li Wanjing, and Li Wanshun, everything had been arranged.
Even the servants had been gathered. There were servants and maids. The maids were all of the highest grade, and the servants looked like people who knew how to read and behave.
Although Li Yuanba had told Li Shiming that he could live alone in the palace, there was no one to serve him! Of course, Li Yuanba didn't object.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Li Yuanba had just arrived at the door when the servants who were already standing at the door shouted.
"Alright! Get up! Take us to familiarize ourselves with the mansion first!”
Li Yuanba looked at these people and chuckled.
"Yes, sir! Please follow me, Your Highness!"
Li Yuanji's Qi Manor, no! To be more precise, Li Yuanba's residence was big enough. According to Li Yuanba's estimation, it occupied nearly 200 mu of land. If this house was placed in the capital in the future, it would be worth more than a hundred million yuan.
Li Yuanba had never thought that he would one day own such a mansion.
Li Yuanba was no longer interested after touring around his mansion. After all, this was his territory from now on. He had seen enough of it now, so he would get bored of it in the future.
Then, an old butler brought Li Yuanba to his room, a room facing south.
In ancient times, there were many rules between nobles.
For example, Li Yuanba was a prince. He had to pay attention to how his room should be built and which direction it should face. It was not something that could be built however one wanted.
He had seen the room and walked around the mansion. As the new owner of the mansion, Li Yuanba still had to lecture him!
In the courtyard of the mansion, Li Yuanba stood in front of dozens of servants and 120 guards.
It seemed that Li Shiming was thoughtful enough to prepare everything for him.
"From today onwards, I am the master of this mansion. The three people behind me will not say much. They are the young master and young lady of this mansion. Reed is still the chief butler of this mansion, responsible for all matters in the mansion. I do not want to hear anything that is detrimental to us.
If anyone dares to gossip behind my back and make wild guesses, don't blame me for killing them. Of course, as long as they didn't talk nonsense, everything was fine.
"If anyone dares to bully you outside, come and find me. I'll slap those who scold you, and I'll kill those who insult their parents. Alright, disperse!"
Li Yuanba waved his hand and let them leave. There was nothing much to say about this.
Everyone else had dispersed, and only Reed stayed behind. He looked at Li Yuandao and said,""Your Highness, now that Your Highness is already a Prince, it is only right for you to call yourself a widow. Otherwise, those censors will find trouble with His Highness!”
"Forget about those civil officials." Li Yuanba waved his hand disdainfully. Let them be!"
Reed felt a little helpless after hearing this. This was the first time he had seen someone who did not take the censors seriously. He looked at Li Yuanba and said helplessly,"But aren't they annoying? If His Highness didn't claim to be a widow, they would probably be chattering endlessly in His Highness's ears.”
Li Yuanba felt helpless. The Great Tang was just so troublesome. Just a title and people would come looking for trouble.
"Alright! This king understands, how about this?"
"This old servant will take his leave!"
Looking at Reed's departing figure, Li Yuanba took a deep look at his back.
"Your Highness! The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace has sent someone to see His Highness!”
A guard of the Imperial Residence hurriedly ran to Li Yuanba and shouted.
"Li Shi Min sent someone? Let him in!"
Li Yuanba's expression was a little strange. What was Li Shiming trying to do? Didn't he just come out of the palace less than half a day ago? Why did they send someone here again?
Soon, an Eastern Palace guard appeared in front of Li Yuanba.
"Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince invites Your Highness to Li Zheng Palace for a meeting!”
"What did you say? Inviting me to a meeting? Are you sure Li Shi Min isn't crazy? Didn't the court assembly just end half a day ago?”
Li Yuanba looked at the guard and raised his eyebrows.
If anyone else had said that, the soldier could guarantee that he would give them a good beating when he returned. However, he didn't dare to do that to this man in front of him!
A few nights ago, he had been by Li Shiming's side. He knew what kind of person this prince was. He didn't even put the Crown Prince in his eyes.
"Eh! this... I don't know either!"
the soldier stammered.
"Alright! Lead the way! Oh right, you're not asking me to walk, are you?”
"His Highness the Crown Prince said that His Highness can ride a horse in the palace!”
Li Yuanba nodded his head. That was more like it. In fact, the Qi Residence was not far from the Eastern Palace.
To be more precise, King Qin's Mansion, King Qi's Mansion, and other mansions were very close to the imperial palace. The people living around the imperial palace were all big shots. They couldn't go too far away from the palace. After all, if there was an emergency and they wanted to discuss it with someone, they would have to delay time if they were too far away.
......
"Stop! You are not allowed to enter without prior notice!"
When Li Yuanba and the Eastern Palace guard arrived at the Eastern Palace Jiafu Gate, the Eastern Palace guard guard shouted.
"What? He even had to report it? Charge!"
Li Yuanba didn't report anything. If he remembered correctly, Li Yuanba had never reported anything when he entered the palace. Even Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not say anything about this.
Li Yuanba rode his horse and charged past Jiafu Gate, leaving behind a group of Eastern Palace guards who were staring at each other with wide eyes. Before they could react, Li Yuanba had already charged past them.
In their minds, who would dare to barge into the Eastern Palace now? What a joke, the person inside was the current Crown Prince! He was about to become the Emperor of the Great Tang.
The Eastern Palace guard who followed behind said helplessly,"That was the third brother of the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Zhao!”
..............
Li Zheng Hall was the inner court of the Eastern Palace, similar to the Yin and Yang Hall of the Taiji Palace. The Crown Prince would take care of any matters or gather people for a meeting in Li Zheng Hall.
Originally, the court meeting had just ended, and there would not be another court meeting to gather the officials. However, this time, it could be said that it was an emergency, so not long after Li Shiming returned to the Eastern Palace, he immediately held a court meeting in Li Zheng Hall.
"Esteemed ministers, the Governor of Youzhou, the King of Lujiang, Li Yuan, is plotting a rebellion. At the same time, we've received news that Tuyuhun has invaded Minzhou. Liang Shidu in the north has heard of the changes in the Great Tang and is ready to make a move. What do you think the Great Tang should do?”
