Letter from Wei Zheng
Zheng Jibo, the current head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, gave his old father a helpless look and said,""Father, don't be so agitated."
Zheng Zhan glared at Zheng Jibo." I'm happy to see His Highness. Is it your turn to lecture me?"”
After saying that, he looked at Li Chengdao with a benevolent expression.
"Her eyes and nose are like Guanyin's."”
Zheng Zhan, the head of the Zheng family, could only stand at the side with his head lowered.
"Great Grandfather, you're getting on in years. You need to take care of your health."”
Zheng Zhan immediately laughed and said,"Yes, Chengdao is still sensible and knows how to care about Great Grandfather.”
" Come, let me take a good look at you. You were still a little kid when I came back last time. Now, you've grown so big..."
Zheng Zhan reached out his hand that was covered in age spots and touched Li Chengdao's face. His eyes were full of smiles.
He was already over ninety years old, and the number of times he could see Li Chengdao could be counted on one hand.
"Chengdao, why didn't you inform us in advance when you returned to Xingyang this time? And what's with the blood-stained armor on your body?”
Zheng Zhan looked at the silver-armored Li Chengdao and asked in confusion.
At the mention of this matter, Li Chengdao's eyes suddenly shot out a cold killing intent.
"Li Shi Min set up an ambush at the Black Tortoise Sect, and my father and Uncle Qi were killed on the spot!
Chengdao relied on two thousand of the Crown Prince's guards and was lucky enough to kill his way out of Chang 'an.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out at the scene.
"What?! The Crown Prince has been killed!"
"Your Highness, is what you said true?”
Zheng Jibo looked at Li Chengdao with a solemn expression.
Li Chengdao's face was gloomy," How could Chengdao lie to grandfather about such a thing? The traitor Li Shimin usurped the throne. It won't be long before the news spreads."”
"What a good Li Shiming, he actually usurped the throne!”
Zheng Zhan slammed his walking stick hard and said angrily,""Such a treasonous and beastly act should be laughed at by the world. All the vassals should attack him together!”
Li Chengdao bowed and said," Chengqian came to Xingyang to seek help from the Zheng family. He will return to Chang 'an one day and behead the traitor Li Shimin."”
Zheng Zhan looked at the ghastly dried bloodstains on Li Chengdao's armor, and the anger in his heart grew even more intense.
From this armor alone, one could tell how many brutal battles Li Chengdao had to go through before he could come to Kaifeng in Xingyang.
The rest of the Zheng Family members also had ugly expressions on their faces.
With Li Jiancheng killed, the Zheng family would have one less empress and one less future emperor.
Privately, the ones who were killed were the relatives of the Zheng family.
Zheng Zhan trembled as he helped Li Chengdao up." The Crown Prince was murdered by a traitor. How can we stand by and watch? Your Highness, get up quickly. The Zheng family of Xingyang will definitely help you kill the traitor!”
Zheng Jibo continued," That's right. Your Highness, you can rest assured. The Zheng family will do their best to help you gather the army and return to Chang 'an to kill the traitor Li Shimin."”
Whether it was for the benefit of the Zheng family or for their family, they had to help Li Chengdao.
"Thank you, Great Grandfather." Li Chengdao bowed again before taking his seat.
Zheng Yuanzhou, who was welcoming Li Chengdao at the city gate, thought of the murderous white-robed army and asked,"
"Your Highness, where did the cavalry outside come from? They don't seem to be the Crown Prince's personal guards, right?”
"That's an army that my father secretly trained to prevent any accidents," Li Chengdao said.
After the Black Tortoise Sect's mutiny, they knew that their father had been murdered and immediately rushed over to help.
After that, we met outside Chang 'an City. After killing Li Shiming's 1,000 black-armored soldiers, we followed me all the way south to Xingyang.”
After hearing Li Chengdao's explanation, Zheng Yuanzhou sighed and said,""It's a pity that His Highness the Crown Prince was ambushed and killed by Li Shi Min!”
As he spoke, he looked at Li Cheng and said," If Your Highness needs anything, the Zheng Corporation will do our best to do it.
He would never sit by and watch Li Shiming usurp the throne and take away what originally belonged to His Highness.”
Li Chengdao nodded lightly and thanked him again.
"Your Highness must have been very tired after rushing all the way here." I will instruct the servants to bring Your Highness to bathe and change so that you can have a good rest.”
"Thank you, Great Grandfather."
Li Chengdao walked out of the main hall and was led by an old butler to a quiet courtyard.
This courtyard was originally where Zheng Guanyin lived before she got married.
After Li Yuan ascended the throne, Li Jiancheng became the Crown Prince.
The Zheng family had specially vacated this courtyard and ordered people to clean it every day.
It was left for Zheng Guanyin, who was going home to visit her relatives.
Li Chengdao had lived here once when he was young.
Under the service of two clever maids, Li Chengdao washed away the blood on his body.
After changing into a clean brocade robe and returning to his room comfortably, he lay down on his bed and fell asleep.
These days, he had always been vigilant and had not slept well.
Coupled with the fact that he had been running all the way, the fatigue on his body was almost reaching its limit.
……
After Li Chengdao went to sleep in the Zheng family's residence, the 7,000 white-robed soldiers under his command were also properly arranged.
Although Wang Xiuwen did not have the ability to provide meat, he still gritted his teeth and opened the granary to provide some coarse grain. He had to make sure that all seven thousand white-robed soldiers were full.
However, the Zheng family had a huge business. The head of the family, Zheng Jibo, personally sent a large amount of meat over.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Li Chengdao had been staying in Kaifeng for three days.
During these three days, apart from familiarizing himself with Kaifeng, he spent the rest of his time in the military camp and the Zheng family mansion.
Just today, a piece of news reached the Zheng Manor from Chang 'an.
The person who sent the letter was Wei Zheng, the aide of the Eastern Palace.
In the letter, besides Li Shiming's usurpation of the throne, there was another equally important piece of news.
Li Chengdao, the son of the Crown Prince, had been conferred the title of Imperial Grandson by Li Yuan!
