Hearing the voice, Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and Feng Deyi's expressions changed.
Only then did they remember that the Imperial City was such a big place. They were talking as they walked and did not pay attention to the direction they were walking in. In the end, they arrived outside King Qin's residence.
Was this a place they could come to?
It would have been fine if they had only passed by for a short while, but their voices had been heard by Li Yuan, who was locked up in King Qin's residence.
The four old men were furious. Who let you hear that?
However, these words could only be silently criticized and could not be said out loud. Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, and Xiao Yu exchanged glances.
Pei Ji, What should we do?
Chen Shuda: Just pretend that you didn't see it?
Feng Deyi said," That won't do. The old emperor has his eyes on us. If we leave now, he might scold us in King Qin's mansion."
Xiao Yu cast a glance at them, thinking,"So what if they scold me? I'm locked up in Prince Qin's residence. How can I catch them and scold them?"
Pei Ji,"That makes sense!"
The four old men exchanged glances and nodded. Then, they pretended to walk forward casually and said in a weak voice,
"It's a cloudless day today. It's a good day for work.”
"Hahaha, if you hadn't mentioned it, this old master would have forgotten. This old master has a pile of official business to do in the mansion.”
"Me too. Shall we go to Shangshu Province together?”
"Let's go!"
Li Yuan stood behind the door and watched as they walked forward while talking. No one looked at the door of King Qin's Mansion. He could not help but bang on the door and shout,
"Xuanzhen, Deyi, Xiao Yu, Shuda, where are you looking? Look at me, can't you hear my voice?”
However, when the four old men heard the sound, not only did they not stop, they ran even faster and ran into the distance.
"These four bastards!"
Li Yuan was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. It was so loud, and you guys couldn't hear it? Are you pretending not to hear me?
"Father, please save your strength."
Li Jiancheng said with a complicated tone,"
"Even if they heard it, they would pretend not to hear it. Don't you understand? They don't dare to meet us at all, let alone let us out of King Qin's residence.”
Li Yuan turned around and glared at him."
"You still have the face to say this. If it weren't for your good son, how would we have fallen into such a situation?”
"Father, you can't say that!" Li Jiancheng said indignantly.”
"You've been praising your good imperial grandson before. He dared to rebel against you because you gave him the confidence.”
"Bastard, how dare you talk back!”
Li Yuan flew into a rage. He rolled up his sleeves and walked over, then slapped Jie Li's head.
“？？？”
Jie Li had just been beaten up not long ago. He was rubbing his bruised and swollen area with a grin when he suddenly received a slap from Li Yuan. He looked at him with a dumbfounded expression and said,
"Your Majesty, I didn't offend you. Why did you hit me?”
"You're the only outsider here. If I don't hit you, who else should I hit?”
"If it weren't for you, would my four trusted aides not dare to look me in the eye?" Li Yuan said with a straight face.”
"..." Jie Li shut his mouth and stopped talking.
He finally understood that he was let in by the little Emperor to vent his anger on the four of them.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Li Yuan saw that he didn't say anything and didn't hit him. He raised his arm and swung it around Jie Li's head. He said angrily,
"You didn't say anything when I asked you to speak.”
Jie Li's sullen face turned red, but he still forced a smile on his face and said apologetically,"Your Majesty, why don't you calm down?"
Pa!
Li Yuan slapped him on the head again and shouted,""I told you to speak just now, but you didn't say anything. Who told you to speak now?”
“？？？”Jie Li looked at Li Yuan in disbelief. So no matter what I say, I can't escape your beating?
Was this a life for humans?
Little Emperor, you might as well send me to hell!

Taiji Palace, Yin and Yang Palace.
Li Chengdao sat cross-legged behind the documents, looking down at the memorial absentmindedly.
At this moment, Wang Yu walked over with a bowl of water and placed it respectfully on the table. When he saw the small mountain of memorials piled up on the table, he looked at Li Chengdao with reverence.
Now, in his heart, Li Yuan's shadow had long disappeared. He only had Li Chengdao in his heart.
Although the little Emperor was only eight years old this year, in Wang Yu's heart, his figure was even taller than Li Yuan.
Seeing Li Chengdao's absent-minded appearance, Wang Yu was surprised. What else could make him upset? He asked curiously,""Your Majesty, is there something on your mind?"
"I guess so." Li Chengdao put down the memorial and sighed.
It had been several days since he had transmigrated back to the Great Tang, and he had done what he needed to do.
Because he had become the emperor, the Black Tortoise Sect incident could never happen again.
The Turks were the greatest threat to the Tang Empire. After Jie Li was captured and brought back to Chang 'an, the alliance at the Wei River disappeared from the annals of history.
The current Great Tang only needed to build up and move from a state of ruin to a flourishing age.
But for some reason, Li Chengdao felt a heavy weight in his heart.
Having read the history books, he knew that the Great Tang still had many obstacles in its path to prosperity.
For example, the upcoming locust plague, the following smallflower, and all the expenses of the imperial court. The national treasury was empty, and every single one of them was a major event. If there was a slight mistake, all the efforts made in the past would be for naught.
Li Chengdao looked at him and asked in a tender voice,
"Wang Yu, how long do you think it will take for our Great Tang to enter a prosperous era?”
Wang Yu's expression turned solemn." His Majesty is conscientious and conscientious, and the officials are helping him. The prosperity of our Great Tang will naturally be realized very quickly.”
Li Chengdao shook his head." But we still need to plan ahead.”
"Ji Gang, Yu Huatian."
He shouted in the direction of the hall.
"Your subject is here."
Ji Gang and Yu Huatian immediately walked in from outside the hall and stood respectfully in front of him.
Li Chengdao looked at the two of them with a solemn expression and said,
"Go and help me do a few things.”
"First, Ji Gang, send someone to India…"
"Send someone over to Tubo to help me with something…"
" Also, go and find a few cows that I mentioned…"
" Then, you can send people to various prefectures and counties to help find some things and send them to Chang 'an as soon as possible..."
"And…"
In the Yin and Yang Palace, Li Chengdao's tender voice was neither hurried nor slow, and he spoke for an hour.
Wang Yu looked at him with a dumbfounded expression. How many things are you talking about? There were hundreds of things!
Moreover, why did these things have to be handled equally?
Ji Gang and Yu Huatian's expressions were solemn at first, but they gradually became dull.
Li Chengdao's throat felt a little dry as he spoke. He picked up the bowl of water on the table with his small hand and took a sip.
"Just these few things first. Send someone to do it as soon as possible.”
Were these just a few things?
Ji Gang and Yu Huatian looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Ji Gang said helplessly,
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the number of Brocade Guard and East Chamber foreigners is far from enough to do these things.”
"Are you short of manpower?" Li Chengdao was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized that he seemed to have said a lot of things just now. He pondered for a moment.
Now he had 100 Brocade Guards and 100 East Chamber soldiers under him. To complete these tasks, he did not have enough manpower.
"Then add two things to it. Recruit the East Chamber foreigners and Jinyiwei, and pick some trustworthy people.”
Li Chengdao picked up the rabbit hair brush and wrote on the memorial while saying to the two,
"As for what I said just now, we must deal with the big things now. As for the small things, we can postpone them until we recruit more people.”
Hearing this, Ji Gang and Yu Huatian heaved a sigh of relief. They cupped their fists and said,
"We obey your orders!"
After the two of them left, Wang Yu said in confusion,""Your Majesty, this servant remembers that the old Emperor once said that India is a remote place. Why did Your Majesty send people there?”
Li Chengdao continued to read the memorial without raising his head. At the same time, he said to Wang Yu,""I'll send someone to bring some things back."
Wang Yu was helpless. Little Emperor was still speaking so mysteriously, and he couldn't understand.
At this moment, it was unknown whether it was Wang Yu or the officials who were helpless.
