Lujiang Prince's Mansion.

After Li Chengdao received Li Yuan's invitation, he went to Li Yuan's governor's mansion for a banquet with Yue Fei and other close generals.

It can be seen that Li Yuan welcomed Li Chengdao very carefully, and set up a large table of sumptuous banquet at his house.

Even prosperous capital cities like Xingyang and Chang'an can be called prosperous, let alone border places like Youzhou.

And this banquet was specifically for Li Chengdao to get away from the bad news. There were no other guests except musicians and dancers.

"Your Highness, the border is not as rich in materials as the one in Chang'an. I am planning a small banquet. Please don't despise the simplicity."

At the banquet, Li Yuan asked Li Chengdao to sit at the main seat, then raised his glass in toast.

Li Chengdao laughed when he heard this and said: "Uncle, how can we be so polite between uncle and nephew? Moreover, the emperor and his father-in-law have always been on good terms. It's fine for the emperor to call him his nephew. Your Highness calls you Tai." It’s divided.”

"No, etiquette cannot be abolished." Li Yuan shook his head and refused, "His Royal Highness has been canonized as the grandson of the emperor and the crown prince of a country. Why do you have to spend thousands of dollars to come to a remote place like Youzhou?"

Mentioning this matter, Li Chengdao turned the wine glass in his hand and said calmly: "The traitor Li Shimin made a fake edict, and in the name of the emperor, he asked Gu to lead his army to station in Youzhou to guard against the Turks."

"Is there such a thing?"

Li Yuan was greatly surprised. Youzhou was far away from the capital and there was no news. He only heard that Li Chengdao was coming to Youzhou, but he didn't know the secret behind it.

"Humph!"

But after he thought about it for a moment, he understood in his heart. He couldn't help but slap the table hard and gritted his teeth and said:

"Li Shimin is so bold. It's not enough to kill his brother and force his father. He actually uses such despicable means to harm the crown prince of a country!

Your Highness, why should you obey such false orders? Now that you are the grandson, as long as you raise your arms, countless people will support you to suppress the rebellion! "

Li Yuan looked very excited, but Li Chengdao shook his head and said: "Li Shimin now monopolizes military and political power, and his influence penetrates the entire Tang Dynasty. His current foundation is too shallow, and he has nothing except a grandson."

After hearing this, Li Yuan could not refute. She just felt very depressed. She drank a glass of wine and said, "It's so irritating!"

When Li Chengdao saw this, he smiled and said: "Uncle, there is no need to be angry. Why don't you tell me about the current situation in Youzhou? I need to get a firm foothold as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Li Yuan nodded, and after thinking for a moment to sort out his thoughts, he said: "The situation in Youzhou City is very simple. I think His Highness also understood it before coming to Youzhou."

"Currently, the largest force in Youzhou is Wang Junlang. As the defender of Youzhou, he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. If he doesn't personally greet His Highness when he arrives today, I'm afraid it's just to show His Majesty's power."

"Furthermore, Wang Junlang worked with Li Shimin to pacify Wang Shichong and Liu Heitai in the early years. He is Li Shimin's most trusted general. If His Highness wants to develop in Youzhou, he must eradicate Wang Junlang, otherwise there will be Endless troubles."

What Li Yuan said was basically not much different from what Li Chengdao understood. There was no way around this king's corridor no matter what.

However, how to solve Wangjunlang is a very troublesome problem.

When Li Yuan saw Li Chengdao frowning and said nothing, she thought he was in trouble, so she got up directly and came to the banquet, saying firmly:

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Although my power in Youzhou is not as powerful as that of Wang Junlang, after all, I have the post of Grand Governor, so Your Highness can be protected."

"I am willing to serve His Highness and help His Highness to develop and cultivate himself here. One day, I will return to Chang'an and kill the traitor Li Shimin!"

Li Yuan took the initiative to agree with him, which moved Li Chengdao very much.

After he stepped down from the seat and helped Li Yuan up, he held his hand and said sternly: "Uncle Huang is very enthusiastic. I understand deeply that if there is any trouble, I will definitely ask for help when I go to Uncle Huang's place."

"I am willing to do my best for His Highness!"

Li Yuan looked extremely determined, and his tone was full of determination.

……

After the banquet, Li Yuan was extremely drunk, and Li Chengdao and others stayed directly at the Lujiang Prince's Mansion.

In the back garden of the palace, Li Chengdao stood alone in the garden and looked up at the stars in the sky.

Although he smelled of alcohol, there was no hint of drunkenness on his face, and his eyes were bright and deep.

"Wang Junlang..."

In the darkness, Li Chengdao murmured to himself, and a bold idea gradually took shape in his mind.

Early the next morning, Li Chengdao summoned Yue Fei, Xue Wanche, Feng Li, Jia Xu and others to discuss how to eliminate Wang Junlang, Li Shimin's confidant.

Yue Fei and Xue Wanche came up with ideas, but they were all rejected by Li Chengdao.

Several people's eyes were turned to the military advisor Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Your Highness, I dare to ask if this Youzhou garrison is Wang Junlang's private army or the army of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chengdao said without thinking: "Of course it is the army of the Tang Dynasty."

Jia Xu continued: "Your Majesty is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Can you command the tens of thousands of defenders in Youzhou?"

After Li Chengdao pondered for a moment, he said: "In the end, I am just the crown prince. Without the military talisman in hand, I cannot mobilize the Youzhou garrison."

The smile on Jia Xu's face became brighter and brighter, "If Wang Junlang dies, can His Highness command the Youzhou garrison?"

Li Chengdao was shocked when he heard this.

I instantly understood what Jia Xu meant.

"If Wang Junlang dies, the Youzhou defenders will naturally obey the orders of the Grand Governor Li Yuan."

The eyes of Yue Fei and Xue Wanche became brighter and brighter.

"Your Highness, General Mo will pick up his gun right now and go kill that Wang Junlang."

Feng Li stood up with a spear in hand, his face full of murderous intent.

Li Chengdao waved his hand and said:

"Sit down first and listen to what the military advisor has to say."

After Feng Li sat down obediently, Jia Xu told him all the countermeasures in his mind.

After half a stick of incense, Li Chengdao changed into a casual robe, wore a titanium alloy sword on his waist, and took Yue Fei to the general's mansion where Wang Junlang was located. ..
