When Eunuch Han was leaving the palace, he happened to see Niu Jinda sitting there. If this happened in Chang'an City, Niu Jinda would be charged with a crime of disrespect. You come here to meet the prince, and you still have to sit here and wait. Do you think the flesh on your neck is tough enough?
But this is the Western Regions. Even if you are a prince and the emperor's own son, what can you do? Even if a letter from here wants to reach Chang'an, it needs the approval of these troops. Otherwise, they will find an opportunity to kill you. It's not just these people who say it casually.
Of course, no one would make things so bad unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, Li You was a prince, and an adult prince at that.
You have to know that in this day and age, there are many cases where children are born but do not grow up. Take Li Shimin as an example. The princes who grew up and those who died were basically equal. So if there is no accident, if an adult prince dies, it will be very troublesome to investigate. In the end, if no other circumstances are found, all the people around you princes will be buried alive with him.
Since we can't find out why the prince died, it must be because you guys didn't serve him well. Although Niu Jinda was not the one serving the prince, the problem occurred in your jurisdiction. There is a high possibility that Li Shimin would let you guys be buried with him.
"General Niu, His Highness invites you in."
No matter how dissatisfied Eunuch Han was, this was someone else's territory, so it was right to say "please".
"I will not go in, mainly because I am wearing armor and it is not convenient to salute. Please ask the old steward to tell me that I will be ready at the door tomorrow morning. Your Highness, please accompany me to the Western Regions."
Niu Jinda spat out the grape seeds in his mouth. He would certainly not go to see Li You. If he did, who knows how much trouble it would cause. After all, he was the prince of the current dynasty. If something really happened, he would be the one to suffer. Anyway, he had said everything he needed to say. If you guys don't handle it well, I will take your lives tomorrow.
When he came, Li Xiang told him that killing a prince is certainly not an option. We cannot afford such a responsibility, unless you are willing to risk being charged with treason, and then your entire family will die. But it doesn't matter if it's just a eunuch, including the people around him. If they all die, they are just slaves. Who will care about their life or death?
After Niu Jinda finished speaking, he walked out, but Eunuch Han was furious. Now he could only go back to persuade Li You. He also understood very well the action of Niu Jinda's last stroke of his neck. If you don't see the King of Qi tomorrow, then you guys will suffer.
After a whole night of coercion and inducement, the old eunuch used all his abilities, and King Qi Li You reluctantly agreed. However, he had to bring all these beauties with him. In the past, he only enjoyed beauties from the mainland, but now he finally had beauties from the Western Regions, and King Qi Li You couldn't let go.
These women were also willing to follow. They were all relatives of convicted officials. When the coup took place in Gaochang, the old men in these families all stood on the wrong side, so they were all in prison.
What are the days in prison like? It is simply dark and gloomy. These girls have all felt it. Now that a prince of the Tang Dynasty has come, the girls also know who owns Gaochang. As long as they serve this prince of the Tang Dynasty well, not to mention that they will not have to go back to prison in the future, maybe their family members will also be improved because of them.
Yesterday, one of the best servants was rewarded. It is said that after the people in the prison received the order, they released the person without saying a word, and the original mansion was also returned. This is the power of the Prince of Tang. The King of Gaochang had already given the house to someone else. After hearing the order of the Prince of Tang, he hurried to let someone else vacate the house.
With that girl as an example, the rest of the people knew how to serve, and they used all their skills. No matter whose eldest daughter she was, they couldn't care less now. As long as His Royal Highness the Prince was happy, the whole family would be saved.
"Your Highness, please get in the carriage."
When Li You came out in new clothes, Niu Jinda did not give him a chance to speak. This was the idea given to him by Xiao Shougui. No matter how glorious you are in the northwest, when you face His Royal Highness the Prince, your status is inferior after all. Moreover, there are so many Tang soldiers watching around. If there is any quarrel, it will be your fault if the news is returned to Chang'an City in the future.
So Xiao Shougui arranged all this for him. When Niu Jinda knelt down, the two thousand people around him also made the same sound and knelt on one knee. At this time, Li You had a lot of words to say, but he had no way to say them.
Just as Li You was about to get on the car, the old eunuch Han next to him coughed.
"Soldiers, thank you for your hard work. Reward."
Li You felt a little distressed at this time. When he was staying here yesterday, officials of all sizes from Gaochang Kingdom sent him a lot of good things. However, the old eunuch Han also said that we must reward them well when we are on someone else's territory. If we don't reward these soldiers, they will be dissatisfied and this opportunity will be disadvantageous to us.
Li You grew up in the palace, so he was naturally very clear about these things. The King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little devils are hard to deal with. These people will be responsible for his safety in the future. If he doesn't give these people some benefits, they will find a loophole in the future, and the enemy may find it and kill him from that place. He will have no place to complain if he dies.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness Prince Qi, for the reward."
The deafening voices of the soldiers came over, and Li You was a little bit proud at this time. If he had not acted foolishly in the early years, it would not be a bad thing to develop in the army. Now he would be a powerful general.
Unfortunately, when Li You entered the huge carriage, his expression changed immediately. There were four beauties accompanying him, plus some fine wine and delicious food. This guy didn't care that it was morning, and some messy noises were heard.
Niu Jinda was afraid that this kind of noise would affect the morale of the troops, so the carriage was surrounded by gifts. The people brought from Chang'an, and the rest of the people followed dozens of meters away. We can't let this kind of thinking penetrate the barracks, it's extremely detrimental to the growth of the soldiers...
