Chapter 629: Promotion to a higher position

"Of course there are changes! As the real king, His Highness can build a palace of three hundred acres, as long as the height and level are slightly lower than that of the Eastern Palace. Then His Highness can get ten thousand households as fiefs, ten thousand hectares of land, and be given Gold medals, gold and silver, royal robes, Qingluo umbrella covers and nine tins are allowed to ride in sixteen carriages. In addition, concubines and children are all under the same royal system."

Having said this, Cao Risheng waved, and his entourage carried a large box and opened it. Inside were royal robes, gold seals, gold medals, and an inscription personally written by the emperor, with the three characters "Prince Lu's Mansion".

Li Ye nodded. Only now did he understand what real sealing meant, which was completely different from his previous virtual sealing.

He smiled and asked again: "But I saw that other princes in the clan did not have a royal residence of 300 acres. Thirty acres is very good. There are also ten thousand households in the fiefdom and ten thousand hectares of permanent fields. They seem to have no!"

Feng Yanhuan next to him said with a smile: "His Highness does not really understand that they have the same qualifications as His Highness, but being able to own it and actually owning it are two different things. For example, if they don't live in Chang'an, they go to Hexi, a more remote place, and buy three hundred acres of land. It is perfectly fine to build a royal residence, and it does not count as overstepping. Buying a hundred hectares of land does not count as annexing land. As long as the various incomes obtained every year are within the tax burden paid by ten thousand households, they are legal income and can be tax-free."

Li Ye laughed, "I understand, the court just gave me a quota. If I want to truly own it, I have to earn it myself."

"That's the truth!"

"I completely understand. Thank you Cao Zhongcheng for coming so far to deliver the decree."

"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. The Emperor said that if Your Highness has any personal requests, feel free to put them forward!"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said, "I do have a personal request, and I hope the emperor can agree to it!"

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"My grandfather left me a treasure pavilion called Lancui Pavilion. It now belongs to the Supreme Emperor in name. Of course, the Supreme Emperor has not explicitly stated that he wants it. Currently, all the items in Lancui Pavilion are stored in the Chengdu Baoji Warehouse. I hope The emperor has decreed that the collection of Lancui Pavilion be returned to me."

Cao Risheng thought for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, does he have an inventory of Lancui Pavilion's items?"

Li Ye nodded, "Yes!"

"Okay! I will definitely convey His Highness's request to the Emperor, but I have no authority to promise anything. Please forgive me!"

"Cao Zhongcheng is too polite!"

Li Ye changed the topic and asked: "How is my father?"

Cao Risheng laughed quickly and said: "Your Majesty is now the Left Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Jiansu is the Right Prime Minister, and Fang Guan, Zhang Hao, and Miao Jinqing are the Deputy Prime Ministers. When I was leaving, your Majesty said to me, he is writing to you. I wrote a letter asking you to fully support the imperial court in regaining Chang'an, right?"

Li Ye nodded, "I also completely agree to assist the imperial court in regaining Chang'an. I wonder when the imperial court will consider regaining Chang'an?"

"The imperial court is still preparing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and veteran general Guo Ziyi both believe that our current strength cannot compete with Anlu Mountain. The emperor has issued an order to order the Anxi Army and the Beiting Army to come to support the imperial court. It may take about half a year."

Li Ye also knew that Xi Yuanqing had died of illness a few months ago, and that Li Siye was now the deputy envoy to Anxi Jiedu and the military envoy to the four towns. Historically, it was the Anxi Army and the Beiting Army that came to support the imperial court, which led to another Tubo invasion. As a result, Longyou and Hexi were all lost.

Li Ye nodded, "As long as the court needs it, I can open up Shangluo Road and enter Guanzhong at any time."

Cao Risheng was waiting for Li Ye's words. He immediately took out a letter and handed it to Li Ye, "This is a personal letter written by the prince to His Highness. Please read it."

Li Ye took it and took a look at it. It read, "Li Yu, the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, sent to Jianghan Jiedu Envoy and His Royal Highness King Lu."

"Has His Highness changed his name?" Li Ye asked with a smile.

"After being crowned the crown prince, he was officially renamed Li Yu."

Li Ye opened the letter and read it, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The letter clearly requested to prevent Li Lin's army from entering Bashu.

Of course Li Ye understood why Li Lin wanted to enter Bashu and hold the emperor hostage to order the princes. As long as the Supreme Emperor Li Longji made it clear that Li Heng's accession to the throne was illegal and that he would give the throne to Yong Wang Li Lin, then Li Heng would become unfaithful in his reputation and words. .

Li Lin certainly thought about entering Bashu within his own sphere of influence. The army passed through Jingzhou and Xiazhou and entered Bashu via the Three Gorges Road.

Li Ye can not allow King Yong's army to enter Bashu, but the problem is that Li Lin has thousands of warships in the Yangtze River Navy. If he enters Bashu by water instead of land, how can he stop him?

However, Li Ye didn't want to point this out, and Li Yu must have thought of it. He hoped that he could stop Yongwang's army, including the waterway.

Li Ye nodded slowly, "Please tell His Highness the Crown Prince that I will do my best!"

………

Cao Risheng left that afternoon, but the supervisor Feng Yanhuan stayed.

Li Ye arranged a house for Feng Yanhuan and said to him directly: "I agree with you to stay for Gao Weng's sake, but I hope you understand that the Jianghan Army is my army, not the imperial court's army. .

I can support the imperial court, King Yong, or even An Lushan. I must not think that I am a supervisor who can be domineering and interfere with my decision-making and military affairs at will.

If that's the case, I guarantee you that you will become An Lushan's guest in the shortest possible time. As for how An Lushan entertains you, it has nothing to do with me. "

Feng Yanhuan was dumbfounded by the straightforward language. After a long while, he said: "Our family is just a small supervisor. We don't have the capital to be domineering. As long as His Highness does not violate the rules, other members of our family will not interfere."

The Supervisory Army has three responsibilities, one is prevention, the other is monitoring, and the other is reporting. Prevention means that no matter how Li Ye uses troops, it must be reported to him in advance and can only be implemented with his consent. Surveillance mainly refers to sending troops on a large scale, and the Supervisory Army must Then, finally, write a report to the emperor.

Just like Bian Lingcheng was in Anxi back then, Bian Lingcheng was so powerful that Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing served him with trepidation, but here with Li Ye, Li Ye cut off his first two functions with one blow, leaving only reporting Function, you can report it however you want, but if you dare to interfere with me, I will send you to see An Lushan.

Feng Yanhuan knew full well that this was not to scare him. The prince even said, "Jianghan Army is not the imperial army, but his army." What else did he dare not do?

Feng Yanhuan sighed secretly. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong in applying to be a supervisor in Jingxiang?

Chengdu Qingyang Palace, Li Longji walked towards the northwest courtyard on crutches, followed by two young palace ladies. He never wanted to come here. Several palace ladies died here and were buried in the courtyard. He felt unlucky and refused to live or die. Come.

But today he finally couldn't bear to come. Two days ago, two young palace maids let it slip while chatting, saying that Concubine Yang was not afraid of ghosts and came here often. Li Longji heard it.

Li Longji began to suspect that Concubine Yang had cheated on her. Once the seeds of this suspicion were planted in his heart, they began to sprout.

Li Longji walked into the courtyard, and he faintly heard Concubine Yang's excited screams. He quickly waved his hand and asked the two little palace ladies to wait at the entrance of the courtyard.

He walked to the door and heard rapid breathing in the room, but the door was not closed.

Li Longji used his crutch to open the door. The extremely ugly scene in front of him shocked him.

The two people in the room were in high spirits. When they turned around, they saw the emperor standing at the door. The guard jumped out of bed and fell to his knees in fright.

But Yang Yupei said angrily: "You old eunuch, what are you doing here? You spoil my mood!"

"You guys"

Li Longji couldn't bear Yang Yupei's words, and he suddenly shouted, "I'm going to kill you!"

He swung his stick and hit Yang Yupei, but he fell straight to the ground.

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty."

Li Longji was so stimulated that he suffered a stroke and collapsed.
