The New Governor of Yizhou? Zhangsun Chong!
As Li Shi Min lowered his head in humiliation, the guards in the palace quickly rushed out to replace the Imperial Roll.
As for the places where the Imperial Rankings had not yet been posted, they had to stop those Imperial Rankings as soon as possible.
Since ancient times, there had been the words 'Jun Ru Yan' as a symbol of the high and mighty ruler. But today, because of Li Ke's matter, Li Shiming, who had always dreamed of being the one emperor in the world, had fallen from his high and mighty altar.
Li Shiming was in great pain from the fall, and his heart was filled with humiliation. It was said that after the morning court session, he returned to his bedroom and smashed many precious porcelain in the palace.
The anger in his heart could be seen.
However, Li Shi Min didn't know that this was just the first big gift that Li Ke gave to Li Shi Min.
…………
Two days later.
Jiannan Road, Yizhou.
The Yizhou of the Great Tang was different from the Yizhou of the Three Kingdoms. The Yizhou of the Three Kingdoms was very large, but the Yizhou of the Great Tang was just an ordinary city with some county towns and villages.
If one were to compare, the Jiannan Road of the Tang Empire was not much different from the Yizhou of the Three Kingdoms.
Because of its special location, Yizhou had a different status in Jiannan Dao.
Although Li Bai wasn't here yet, the concept of the Shu Road was deeply rooted in people's hearts. If one wanted to enter Yizhou Shu, the road was very difficult to pass through. Moreover, there was a rapid river, which was even more difficult to pass through.
There was an ancient saying that one man could hold off ten thousand men. It was extremely suitable in Yizhou.
As long as they could guard the only bridge or the only way up the mountain, Yizhou would not be afraid even if the emperor came.
And this was where Li Ke's confidence lay.
With the natural barrier of Yizhou, as long as he had complete control of Yizhou, even if he didn't have the strength to deal with Li Shiming, he could still protect himself.
At this moment, in the Grand Governor's Office in Yizhou.
The Yizhou Governor Chu Suiliang and the commander of the Yizhou Army Su Dingfang stood in the hall and bowed to a eunuch.
The eunuch held his head high and looked at the remaining forces like Li Ke with a disdainful smile on his face.
He opened the imperial edict and said,"His Majesty has ordered that the King of Shu, Li Ke, has rebelled and colluded with the Turks. His crimes are heinous and unforgivable! Therefore, from today onwards, Li Ke's identity as King of Shu will be stripped away, and his identity as Governor of Yizhou will be removed. Any official positions appointed by Li Ke will be removed, and they will all be demoted to civilians. Zhangsun Chong will take over the position of Governor of Yizhou!”
To the side, Zhangsun Wuji's son, Zhangsun Chong, was leisurely fiddling with his fan. As Zhangsun Wuji's son, he was Li Shiming's most trusted person. Li Shiming also intended to betroth the princess to him. It could be said that he had the highest status in the Great Tang, aside from the princes.
Therefore, Li Shimin directly let his most trusted Zhangsun Chong take over the position of Governor of Yizhou, cleaned up the remaining forces of Li Ke, and then prepared a big net, waiting for Li Ke to fall into the trap.
The eunuch closed the imperial edict and looked at Zhangsun Chong obsequiously.""Accept the decree. Remember, from this moment on, Li Ke is a sinner and no longer your master. Lord Zhangsun Chong is your master.”
Chu Suiliang and Su Dingfang looked at each other when they heard this. They immediately stood up straight, but neither of them bowed to Zhangsun Chong.
"Why are you so insensible? Do you want me to teach you how to bow?”Seeing that Chu Suiliang and Su Dingfang were ignoring him, the eunuch's expression darkened.
"Eunuch Zhao, they are just ants. Why are you angry with them?”
At this moment, Zhangsun Chong opened his fan and fanned it gently. His gaze fell on Chu Suiliang and Su Dingfang, and he said with a faint smile,""Perhaps you are still dreaming of Li Ke gaining power? Unfortunately, in this world, dreams were rare, but nightmares were common.”
He put away his fan and pointed at Chu Suiliang, then at Su Dingfang.""Kneel down and kowtow three times to this official, and this official will let bygones be bygones. You will still be in your current official positions. Even if you help this official capture Li Ke, this official can still promote your positions and let you rise to the top.”
He smiled faintly and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up."All of you are ordinary people who aren't from noble families or prestigious clans. You must be very excited right now, because this kind of opportunity to rise to the top is hard to come by once in a lifetime.”
"So, what are we waiting for? Kneeling down would bring glory and wealth!”
Zhangsun Chong's tone was filled with contempt. As the most respected person in the world, he had his own position of being superior to others. He had never looked at these ordinary people in the eye.
To him, it was already Chu Suiliang and the rest's honor that he was able to talk so much to ordinary people like them today.
Therefore, he believed that these nobodies would immediately kneel in front of him like pugs and be used by him to capture Li Ke.
However, something unexpected happened.
Chu Suiliang sighed and looked at Su Dingfang.""General Su, it seems that the worst outcome that His Highness predicted before leaving has appeared.”
When Su Dingfang heard this, he said with a calm expression,""With me here, Yizhou will be safe!"
Chu Suiliang suddenly laughed." This is also the reason why Your Highness left so easily. It's because General Su is here!"”
Chu Suiliang and Su Dingfang seemed to treat Zhangsun Chong as air. They completely ignored Zhangsun Chong and started chatting.
This caused Zhangsun Chong, who thought highly of himself, to have a gloomy expression.
"Do you want to die?" Zhangsun Chong said with a dark face.
The eunuch also pointed at the two of them and scolded,""Two blind bastards, Li Ke is already finished, but you don't know how to kneel and beg for mercy. You are really courting death!”
Su Dingfang raised his eyebrows and looked at the eunuch coldly. He suddenly took a step forward and raised his knife.
Puchi!
With a flash of cold light, the head that still had a flattering and angry expression on its face suddenly soared into the sky.
Blood suddenly spurted out from his neck.
"What? How dare you…"
Zhangsun Chong's expression changed, and the fan in his hand fell to the ground in panic.
Chu Suiliang chuckled. He looked at Zhangsun Chong and said,""Lord Zhangsun, there's something that I think you're right about. In this world, beautiful dreams don't happen often, but nightmares are especially common. So, do you have the awareness that you'll become a nightmare?”
…………
P.S.: I still managed to write a chapter. Isn't everyone surprised? The author finally didn't slack off and succeeded. Seeing everyone urging her to update, she wrote this chapter.
Let's talk about this book. This book really put in all of Shroom Author's effort. To be honest, every night when she slept, she would subconsciously think about the plot. She thought about what Li Ke should do to increase his power, how to speed up the pace of rebellion, how to make Li Shiming and the others suffer a double loss, and when she thought about it…Unsurprisingly, Shroom Author had insomnia almost every day.
The author, Jun, had written three books in the Tang Dynasty, and had also written one that had good results. However, everyone was tired of reading it, and it was the kind that relied on Li Shimin.
That kind of story was easier to write, because no matter what the protagonist did, the emperor, Li Shimin, would always be behind him. No matter how wild he was, he wouldn't die. Instead, it would make everyone feel that it was interesting.
However, this book was different. Li Shimin was the boss of this book. If the author, Jungle, didn't handle any details well, he would either be unhappy or give everyone the feeling that his IQ had dropped. Therefore, the author's speed in writing this book was really slow.
Moreover, there was a book friend in the book review section who spoke to Shroom Author. He said that Shroom Author wrote too fast in order to catch up with the topic. In fact, it was just as he said. Shroom Author knew that the most enjoyable part of this book was that the main character rose up and beat up Li Shimin. The story of rebellion was definitely the kind that would be extremely enjoyable.
However, a rebellion needed to be fully prepared. It was obvious that the main character was not fully prepared at the moment, so he needed stories to pave the way for the main character to truly rebel. However, these stories were sometimes not very satisfying.
Therefore, Shroom Author was very conflicted. Once she was conflicted, her speed became even slower.
Fortunately, Shroom Author had a clear idea. She had to lay the foundation. After all, without the foundation in the front, it would be difficult for Gao Chao to rise up later. However, Shroom Author's pace would be faster. She would not write any unimportant stories. She would write content that was related to the main storyline. Then, she would quickly let the protagonist reach the power of rebellion.
Therefore, when everyone was reading, if they felt that the pace was slow or that the plot was boring, they must tell the author in the book review section not to let the author get high.
The author promised that every sentence and every story would have its own necessity, and it would lead to an explosive plot at the end. If they couldn't do it, they could send the blades.
So, that's it. The author won't rush for updates and won't let everyone spend any extra money. I only hope that everyone can vote for the flower review. If there's nothing to do, the book review section will pop up and chat. The author will be full of energy and write even more exciting content!
Finally, after about 10,000 to 20,000 words, there will be a series of explosions. Good night, everyone ~
