The mountains and rivers outside Luoyang City are beautiful, and a group of old members of the East Palace lead tens of thousands of people from Luoyang City out of the city to welcome Li Chengqian who returned victoriously.

In Luoyang City, Li Chengqian set out from here to Youzhou five years ago.

At that time, he quelled the Chen Dingzhen rebellion, dealt with the gentry around Luoyang, and coaxed Li Shimin to agree to preside over the destruction of Goguryeo.

In order to consolidate his power, he proposed to make Li Jue the crown prince and hand over Li Jue to Li Shimin for upbringing.

Unexpectedly, it killed the well-behaved child and indirectly killed the Crown Princess Su.

Although Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an, he wanted to seek revenge on Li Shimin and Li Zhi and Changsun's family, he had already scolded himself hundreds or thousands of times in his heart.

Now that I have come to Luoyang City again, looking at the old ministers of the East Palace who were greeting him outside the city, Li Chengqian couldn't help but think of these things again, and forgot to let the ministers be calm.

"Your Highness, Prince." Liu Kui reminded in a low voice.

"Hurry up and settle down."

Li Chengqian suddenly woke up.

The ministers looked up and saw that Li Chengqian's eyes were filled with tears, and hurriedly lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him. Several people were ready to sing praises and did not dare to say them. The scene seemed a little silent.

However, when Li Chengqian saw the old ministers of the Eastern Palace coming to greet him in cloth clothes, he couldn't help but apologize: "You are dismissed from office and exiled because of Xiang'er's mistakes. The lonely king is uneasy..."

As soon as Li Chengqian said this, the ministers all looked frightened. Chu Suiliang was the first to stand up and said in a deep voice: "Why did your prince say this? Your Majesty was bewitched by a demon and took drugs, causing the death of the prince's grandson. All of them were ineffective in persuasion. He was really unwilling to the entrustedness of the prince and asked the prince to punish him."

"Please punish His Highness the Crown Prince." The ministers bowed and apologized.

Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward and helped them up one by one and said, "You are so serious about your family."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The ministers looked at the thin Li Chengqian and felt mixed emotions, not knowing what to say to comfort him.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "Publicate the imperial edict."

"In accordance with the heavens, the crown prince ordered: Feng Jilong's name... Consult Erma Zhou, Du Zhenglun, Chu Suiliang, Xue Dading, Cheng Mingzhen, Liu Xiang, Daozhi Zhou Min, and Liu Xiang, and his knowledge of the bureau. He was loyal and diligent and expressed his character. He established himself with Renshu... He was specially appointed as Zhan Shishifu of the Eastern Palace, and was appointed Shangshu of Yan Duxingtai, and the governor of Liaozhou. Qin Zai."

"ah!"

After hearing this order, the ministers made a sound of gasping for air conditioning. Li Chengqian actually issued an order to grant them an official title!

I was stunned for a moment, really wondering whether I should thank you or not.

Chu Suiliang felt very conflicted in his heart. Li Chengqian said the "Crown Prince's Order" but the format and content were all edicts from the serious emperor to be granted important officials.

They were all in the center for a long time and knew the rules of enfeoffment by important officials. The three official positions Li Chengqian added to them were all third-rank official positions. They seemed to be all under Li Chengqian's current official positions, but none of them could be decided by Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the East Palace.

Only Li Shimin can decide the appointment and removal of these officials by formally passing the orders of the Secretariat, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reviewed, and the Provincial Administration of Shangshu Province, and the Provincial Administration of Publicity will be counted.

The appointment issued by Li Chengqian not only exceeded his post but also did not comply with the court's regulations. Under normal circumstances, they would not dare to accept the orders if they were Li Chengqian's confidants.

But is this normal now?

Li Chengqian looked at the ministers hesitant and did not urge him, just waiting for their own decision. If he dared to accept his title, he would naturally recognize himself as the emperor. No matter what he did to Li Shimin in the future, these people would have no position to show their attention for Li Shimin.

Not only these people, in order to deal with Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, also prepared a lot of imperial edicts, all in this form.

Just as everyone was hesitating, a voice full of energy said loudly: "My minister Cheng Mingzhenjin received the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to thank him."

Cheng Mingzhen was promoted by Li Chengqian, and his son Cheng Wuting was also Li Chengqian's confidant. If Li Chengqian fell, no one except Li Xiang or Li Bai could tolerate their father and son.

Li Chengqian raised his hand and helped Cheng Mingzhen and said, "Cheng Aiqing calmed down."

Cheng Mingzhen straightened up and stood behind Li Chengqian honestly and unceremoniously, looking at the people opposite him.

This makes everyone on the other side feel more stressed.

"My decree Du Zhenglun received the order to thank him." Du Zhenglun, also a hardcore Li Chengqian, no longer hesitated at this time.

"Your Highness, although Luoyang is in the world, it is not the root of the dragon energy of the Tang Dynasty." Chu Suiliang spoke solemnly.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian learned that Chu Suiliang was worried that he would ascend the throne in Luoyang, which would mean that there would be two courts, and if it was not done well, the world would be in chaos.

Li Chengqian hurriedly assured all the ministers: "The Gu Wang is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and will not do anything rebellious. Even if he ignores the evaluation of future generations, the Gu Wang Wang must consider the stability of the future throne of the Tang Dynasty."

After hearing this, Chu Suiliang thought for a moment and bowed and said, "I received the order to thank you."

Seeing that Chu Suiliang had agreed, the other ministers immediately bowed and bowed. Li Chengqian felt very at ease when he saw this.

After passing Luoyang City, you will eventually fight with Chang'an City. If there is no hard-core team, you will be restrained from doing anything. If you use less force, you will be worried that the people in the world will think you are unreliable, so you will support Changsun Wuji. If it is heavy, you will be directly rebelled by Du He and others.

Now, since Chu Suiliang and others accepted his title of official position, everyone in the world would recognize his orders. It is difficult for the Chang'an court to have the prestige to issue orders to all parts of the world.

Du He in the crowd saw that Li Chengqian had surrendered the ministers as soon as he made a move, and he couldn't help but be amazed at Li Chengqian's superb skills.

"Three dear friends, please calm down."

As he said that, Li Chengqian walked up again and helped the three of them up, then looked at the people who had not been granted yet and said, "Your family should not be anxious. The will of the additional title has been written. I will wait until the orphan prince visits Ma Qing's family and announce the order immediately."

After Li Chengqian said that, he couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw someone clearly breathing a sigh of relief and said to himself: These people have been in high positions for a long time and have been exiled by Li Shimin for several months. Now he is really determined to restore his official position.

At that moment, Li Chengqian was in the four-eye carriage and slowly came to Qiushi Garden under the siege of a large number of civil and military ministers. Ma Zhou was seriously ill and did not go to welcome Li Chengqian today. Now Li Chengqian is going to come to him personally to issue an imperial edict to him.

Ma Zhou was the poor prime minister promoted by Li Shimin. He was much more noble than Chu Suiliang's status in charge of the central government for several years.

Moreover, Li Chengqian knew that Ma Zhou was about to go to bed, unlike those who came to greet him, he would definitely not pay much attention to the official positions of the officials.

Li Chengqian came to Qiushi Garden, regardless of the fatigue of the boat and car, headed straight to Ma Zhou's care yard to visit Ma Zhou.

But a moment ago, Ma Zhou was already dead.

"Xue Yuanchao meets His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xue Yuanchao, with red eyes, welcomed Li Chengqian at the door.

"How is Ma Qing's family sick?" Li Chengqian saw something strange and asked in a low voice.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has gone to the immortals." Xue Yuanchao said.

Li Chengqian and everyone were prepared for Ma Zhou's death, but now it was not a sudden hearing. It was just a pity that a generation of famous celebrities died like this.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Li Chengqian put down all the thoughts in his heart and walked silently into the yard.

Until now, Li Chengqian didn't know whether Ma Zhou was his confidant. Since his time travel, Li Chengqian has praised Ma Zhou's talents many times, but he has never been able to draw Ma Zhou's mind.

Only this time did the ministers who were exterminated by Li Shimin and even Ma Zhou were included. He didn't expect him to die early.
