Chapter 347 Frightening

"I have come here with orders, and I hope they will be accommodating." Li Zhe looked at them lightly, his expression calm, but his tone revealed a chilling domineering tone.

"By order? Huh, what order?" The patrolman stared at him coldly, holding the sword at his waist, as if he was ready to draw the sword at any time.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: The prince is deeply loved by me because of his virtuous nature and dignified conduct. I have decided to appoint the prince as the crown prince. Therefore, I specially appointed the crown prince and gave him a uniform and a jade seal.

Order him to accept the worship of hundreds of officials at the east gate of the palace tomorrow! "Li Zhe read it out calmly.

The patrolmen were stunned. They naturally knew that the prince was the crown prince, but they really didn't know about this. Therefore, their duty is to not let anyone in or out of the city, not even a fly, before the emperor issues a decree.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment for me to report." The patrol leader hesitated for a moment, then said to Li Zhe, and at the same time motioned to the soldiers around him to report.

Soon, a patrolman returned to the middle of the team and said to Li Zhe: "Report to the general, the officer on duty at the city gate said that His Highness the Prince came on orders and cannot be stopped.

However, the city lord is not here, so he has to wait until the city lords arrive before His Royal Highness can be allowed in. "

"Where is the city lord?" Li Zhe asked with a frown. He didn't care about that, he took out a token from his arms and threw it to the patrolman: "Send a message to this king and ask him to come to meet you as soon as possible!"

The patrolman looked at the token in his hand and his eyes suddenly widened. He did not dare to say another word, and quickly turned around and ran back to the city gate to report the matter to his superior.

Li Zhe, on the other hand, led many guards and walked slowly towards the city gate, while the rest of the people stayed where they were and waited.

He knew that he would be intercepted later and would definitely encounter various difficulties, so he did not want to waste time.

"You guys wait here." Li Zhe said nothing and walked straight towards the city gate.

At the gate of the city, several guards in armor stopped them: "Your Highness, this is an important military camp, and no one is allowed to enter."

"How dare you, I am the prince, and I came here with the imperial decree. How dare you stop me?" Li Zhe said coldly, exuding a powerful aura.

"Your Highness, the last general dare not stop His Highness the Crown Prince." The guard hurriedly knelt down and said in fear: "But Your Highness the Crown Prince, now that the city lord has not returned from his trip, General Yang is temporarily acting as the agent for matters in the city. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Li Zhe's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "I have come here with an imperial decree, how can I allow you to shirk? Let me go quickly."

"Your Highness, General Yang has an order. There are many things going on in the city now. I hope Your Highness will not waste time." The guard said bravely. He knew that his status was completely incomparable with General Yang.

If the prince really makes a fuss, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

"You bastard, are you trying to teach me a lesson?" Li Zhe said angrily. These soldiers dared to disobey their orders. Do they really think that they are easy to bully?

As soon as Li Zhe finished speaking, a strong general galloped over from a distance on a war horse.

He tightened the reins, then quickly dismounted and came to Li Zhe, kneeling on one knee: "General Yang Yanzhang came to see His Highness. I didn't know that Your Highness was coming, and I missed you from a distance. Please forgive me."

"Yang Yanzhang, I have come to Jiangnan on orders, why do you dare to stop my carriage and prevent me from entering the city?" Li Zhe asked with a cold face and a majestic tone.

"Your Highness, the general didn't know he was Your Highness, so please forgive me." Yang Yanzhang lowered his head and said.

"Since you don't know, why don't you retreat?" Li Zhe asked with a sneer. "The general is worried that your highness will go astray, that's why." Yang Yanzhang said, looking up at Li Zhe, then lowering his head again, and said respectfully: "The general deserves to die, please forgive me for the rudeness of the general. "

"Are you worried that I have gone astray? Why, can't I enter the city?" Li Zhe said coldly.

"The general doesn't dare, I'm just afraid that His Highness will miss important national affairs." Yang Yanzhang still lowered his head and said.

"It's not your turn to dictate my king's affairs, why don't you get out of the way!" Li Zhe scolded him coldly.

After hearing this, Yang Yanzhang hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up and made a gesture of invitation: "Your Highness, please!"

"Yes." Li Zhe nodded, got off his horse, and the guards behind him rode their horses to follow. The other guards sat on their horses and waited until Li Zhe entered the city before they followed.

"Who are these people?" Li Zhe looked at the guards and asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, those are His Majesty's guards. Their duty is to ensure the safety of the Crown Prince and at the same time maintain the security of the capital." Yang Yanzhang said in a low voice.

"That's it." Li Zhe said suddenly, "What's your name?"

"The last general, Yang Yanzhang, is the nephew of Jingzhao Yin Li Qiao." Yang Yanzhang replied.

"No wonder he is so loyal. He turns out to be a relative of Jing Zhaoyin and Li Qiao." Li Zhe patted Yang Yanzhang on the shoulder and smiled.

The two walked side by side on the street. Along the way, Yang Yanzhang told in detail what he had experienced during this period, and then talked about a series of policies recently promulgated by his father. Li Zhe was also amazed when he listened.

He secretly thought that this father was indeed a man of great talent and strategy. In just a few years, he actually caused such huge changes in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, in addition to his growing admiration for his father, Yang Yanzhang was more grateful in his heart that his father finally chose to let him continue to lead the army to conquer the Japanese slaves.

In this way, I don't have to worry about being seized of power by my father like before.

After Yang Yanzhang and Li Zhe arrived at a mansion, the concierge hurried over to salute. Yang Yanzhang smiled and waved his hand to signal him not to speak, and then stepped towards the main hall.

There were three or five people sitting in the main hall at this time. When they saw Yang Yanzhang and Yang Yanzhang walking in, they all bowed and clasped their fists in salute and said, "I'm here to see His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Excuse me. Have you all received the imperial edict from me?" Yang Yanzhang glanced around and found that except for Li Zhe and Cheng Boyi, there were only a few unfamiliar faces.

"Go back to your highness, I have all accepted the order." Everyone stood up and said respectfully.

"Then now you should know why the king came suddenly, right?" Yang Yanzhang sat down on the main seat and said lightly: "I was ordered to supervise the purchase of grain, but you turned me away. This is What is your attitude towards the prince?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. It is true that there is some chaos in the city right now and it is not suitable to gather the people. Moreover, entering the city at this time may cause panic." A middle-aged man next to Yang Yanzhang explained with a bitter look on his face at this moment.
