Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Chapter 264 Qizhou Secret Report

Mr. Qi's footsteps gradually disappeared at the end of the long corridor of Liangyi Hall.

Li Chengqian raised his eyes slightly, his sharp gaze fixed on Zhang Xianhuai, and said in a low voice, "Xianhuai, I see you look solemn, is there something you must report?"

Zhang Xianhuai looked solemn. He nodded slowly, his movements a little slow.

Then, his hand slowly reached into his arms.

After a moment, he took out a secret message wrapped in layers of paper.

Zhang Xianhuai raised his hands high and presented it to Li Chengqian respectfully, while slightly opening his lips.

"Your Majesty, this is a secret report sent by the Qizhou Jinyi satellite overnight. It just arrived in the capital at first light this morning. I dare not slack off in the slightest and present it to Your Majesty immediately."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly. He stretched out his hand and gently took the secret report. His slender fingers slowly unfolded the paper full of small words, and his eyes quickly scanned between the lines.

In a moment, Li Chengqian's face suddenly became as gloomy as ink.

Anger suddenly ignited in his originally calm eyes.

He swung his arm violently, and slammed his palm heavily on the imperial desk with anger.

There was a loud "bang" sound.

"How audacious!"

Li Chengqian shouted angrily, echoing throughout the Liangyi Hall.

"Do you think I dare not kill him? Under my great Tang Dynasty, how can I allow such traitors to act recklessly?"

Seeing Li Chengqian so furious, Zhang Xianhuai, though afraid, still steeled himself and said softly, "Your Majesty, Qizhou still has 20,000 troops stationed there. This is a force that cannot be underestimated. If you want to deal with the King of Qi, you must think carefully and take a long-term approach."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian sneered, his smile full of contempt.

"Twenty thousand soldiers? Humph, how can Li You be the one who can control the soldiers and generals?"

"He's just a dandy kid who only cares about eating, drinking, and having fun, hanging out with villains. His reckless behavior has completely disgraced our Li family! How will the world view our Tang Dynasty royal family?"

"Your Majesty, he is the Prince of Qi after all. The Emperor Emeritus..."

Zhang Xianhuai still had concerns. He knew that royal affairs were complicated and that one move could affect the entire body. At this moment, he had to remind Li Chengqian, fearing that he would be blinded by anger and do something that he would regret later.

Li Chengqian waved his hand slightly. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner anger. "It's alright. Send someone to deliver this secret report to my father in its entirety."

"My father will understand the interests involved and know my difficulties."

After saying this, Li Chengqian paused for a moment, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

"Issue an order to immediately strip the King of Qi of his position as Grand Commander of Qizhou. Select another capable and virtuous person to take on this position. Ensure the peace of Qizhou and protect the people from harm."

Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, quickly formulating a countermeasure in his mind. He then gave the order, "Have Ruzhao lead 3,000 light cavalry and rush to Qizhou at full speed. We must bring that bastard back to Chang'an."

"After he returns, I have another decree. Go down and tell Ruzhao first. Tell him that if he successfully completes his mission this time, he will marry you upon his return."

"I will hold a grand wedding for you. It will be my reward to you. I hope you two can work together for the future of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Xianhuai bowed respectfully and accepted the order, his voice full of joy and gratitude.

"besides,"

Li Chengqian's tone became extremely serious and he stared at Zhang Xianhuai.

"How do you train the Jinyiwei of Qizhou? Xianhuai, tell me, what was my original intention and purpose in establishing the Jinyiwei?"

Zhang Xianhuai quickly lowered his head, a slight sweat on his forehead. He responded firmly, "To monitor all officials and protect the people of the Tang Dynasty. This is the mission of the Jinyiwei, and I will never forget it."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, but his expression did not soften. He then questioned, "Why wasn't Li You arrested when he was doing such a bastard in Qizhou?"

"Just because he's the King of Qi, should we be cautious? Are the powers I've bestowed upon the Imperial Guards just for show?"

Li Chengqian stood up and paced slowly in the Liangyi Hall.

"Repeat my words to all the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers and have the right to act at their discretion."

"No matter who they are, whether they are royal relatives or high-ranking officials, as long as their actions harm the people of the Tang Dynasty, I will arrest them without hesitation!"

"Bring them directly to me! I will never allow anyone to abuse their power to bully the people and destroy the peaceful and prosperous world I have worked so hard to build!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Zhang Xianhuai quickly responded loudly, his voice full of awe for the emperor.

"Go down and do your work." Li Chengqian waved his hand tiredly.

At this moment, he felt the helplessness of being an emperor.

After Zhang Xianhuai left, Li Chengqian stood alone in the Liangyi Hall. Thinking of what Li You had done, a fierce light flashed in his eyes again.
