Outside White Cloud City, in the North Manor Army's camp near Tianzhu Mountain.
In the commander's tent, Li Lin, who was clad in armor, suddenly stood up. He looked at Zhang Han, who was standing solemnly, and asked with a puzzled expression,""The Prince of Yan has suffered a backlash from his cultivation, and there's no way to save him?”
"Yes, Young Master. This is the information that just came. In addition, the Prince of Yan had sent a team of personal guards to send a memorial to the Divine Capital, Chang 'an, by Red Plume.”
"It seems that Li Yi has already made up his mind.”After listening, Li Lin understood the final decision of the Prince of Yan.
"Did the Shadow Secret Guards discover any problems?”Li Lin asked again.
"During this period, the Shadow Secret Guards did not discover anyone entering or leaving the Governor's Office. If someone had made a move, even someone in the Divine Treasure Realm would not be able to hide it from the ears and eyes of the Governor's Office.”
"Where's the poison?" Li Lin asked again.
"According to the news, there are no symptoms of poisoning.”Zhang Han shook his head again.
"Let's dig deeper into this matter and see if someone has done something.”
"Here!"
"Alright, you can leave now. Have someone pay attention to the news from the Divine Capital and inform me immediately if there's any information.”
"Yes, this subordinate will follow your orders."
After that, Zhang Han cupped his fists and left the commander's tent.
"In a rush to break through, blood, Qi, and spiritual energy collided? Even Hu Qingniu couldn't find out? Could it be that Li Yi was really careless?"
After Zhang Han left, Li Lin returned to his seat and tapped his fingers on the commander's table as he muttered to himself.
This matter made Li Lin feel that there was something else going on.
After all, based on Li Yi's actions over the years and his personality, he was not an impatient person.
At the peak of the Marrow Cleansing realm, wanting to break through the Mortal Gate and open the treasures of the human body was a matter of painstaking effort. After so many years, he did not believe that Li Yi did not know and understand.
"It seems that we can only wait for news from the Divine Capital and the results of the investigation by the Shadow Secret Guards.”
……
Three days later, a red-feathered messenger with a flag on his back rode into Chang 'an, the Divine Capital, and then headed straight for the Imperial City.
"Urgent Red Plume from the Governor's Office of Youzhou!”
“……”
The guards at the gate heard the leader of the knights shouting and did not dare to be negligent. After quickly receiving the leader's weapon, they sent more than ten cavalry to escort him to the inner palace.
At the inner palace gate, the Thousand Bull Guards took the messenger and led him to Hanyuan Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Youzhou Governor's Office has sent a red feather messenger with urgent news!”
In Hanyuan Palace, Li Shi Min, who was discussing with Li Jing and the other ministers, heard the report from the chamberlain. His expression changed, and then he said,"Announce!"
"Here!"
Then, the travel-worn messenger entered the hall and cupped his fists."Greetings, Your Majesty.”
"Where's the emergency report? Hand it over!"
"Here!"
The messenger took out the memorial and handed it to the guard of the Hundred Cavalry Division. After the guard checked it, he handed it to the chamberlain. The chamberlain quickly went up and handed it to Wang De.
Wang De placed it in front of Li Shimin again.
He opened the memorial and looked at Li Shiming. His expression changed, and he continued reading.
After reading the memorial, Li Shimin sighed.
"Send the messenger down to rest and let the posthouse entertain him well.”
"Here!"
"I will take my leave!"
After the messenger left, Li Shimin turned to Li Jing and the others who were filled with curiosity."This is a handwritten letter from the Prince of Yan, Li Yi. He says that he doesn't have much time left and requests to be demoted to the people and appoint a new Governor of Youzhou as soon as possible.”
"Not much time left? How is this possible?" The first reaction of the officials below was disbelief.
After all, he had never heard of Li Yi being seriously ill.
"Your Majesty, could this matter be Li Yi's test?”Zhangsun Wuji thought for a moment before voicing his thoughts.
"I won't."
Li Shi Min shook his head and pointed at the memorial in front of him."This memorial was indeed written by Li Yi himself. Moreover, the style of the writing is superficial and the handwriting is messy. It should be caused by his extremely weak body.”
"You can't pretend to be this.”
"What does Your Majesty think?" Li Jing said.
As the Minister of War, he knew the importance of the Governor of Youzhou.
If Li Yi really did not have much time left, then they had to send a general over as soon as possible to prevent Li Yi from passing away. Without a leader, the Youzhou army would be prone to unforeseen circumstances.
Li Shi Min naturally knew this.
However, he did not have a suitable candidate for Youzhou's governor in mind.
"Everyone, think about it and see if there is anyone suitable.”
" This..." Li Jing and the others looked at each other. They really couldn't think of the most suitable person at the moment.
On the other hand, Zhangsun Wuji's eyes flickered as if he had some thoughts. However, he quickly regained his calm.
"Wuji, do you have an idea?”
Seeing that Li Jing and the others did not speak, Zhangsun Wuji's expression changed. Li Shiming saw it and asked.
"Your Majesty, I did have some ideas just now, but after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it's not appropriate.”
"It's fine. Tell us and we'll discuss it.”Li Shi Min said.
"Then this subject will boldly say it." Zhangsun Wuji stood up and cupped his hands."I recommend the Duke of Pi, Zhangsun Shunde!”
Swoosh.
As soon as he said this, all the officials in the hall looked at Zhangsun Wuji, including Wang De, who was standing beside Li Shiming.
Is this inappropriate? It was very inappropriate!
All the officials cursed in their hearts. Even Li Shiming was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked deeply at Zhangsun Wuji and said,"The Duke of Pi is old and Youzhou is cold.”
Old age?
Indeed, the Duke of Pi was now over 130 years old.
For ordinary people, it was indeed considered old. However, with his strength at the peak of the Connate Blood Solidification Realm, he could still live for another 60 years if he was unharmed.
He was not considered old.
However, how could an old general who was only at the peak of the Connate Blood Solidification Realm go to a military town like Youzhou to subdue his generals?
Not to mention anything else, just the ten generals in the Heaven Festival Army alone had the strength of the Connate Marrow Cleansing realm.
Not to mention, in White Cloud City, there was the unknown King Jing and his North Mansion Army.
With the Duke of Pi's personality, he would definitely cause trouble in Youzhou.
Sending such a person over was indeed very inappropriate. It was fortunate that Zhangsun Wuji could think of it.
"Your Majesty, I would like to recommend a candidate.”Suddenly, Wei Zheng stood up and cupped his hands.
"Oh? Xuan Cheng, tell me." Li Shi Min looked over.
"I recommend His Highness King Jing to take up the post of Youzhou Governor!”
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Shimin fell into deep thought. Li Jing and the others looked at him in surprise and also fell into deep thought. As for Zhangsun Wuji, his lowered eyes flashed with a cold light before returning to normal.
For a long time, no one spoke in Hanyuan Palace.
In the end, Li Shi Min looked at Li Jing and asked,""Apothecary, you're the Minister of War. What's your opinion?”
