Chapter Nine, filled with deep sorrow.

Li Tianci's expression grew increasingly cold, and his voice became more and more authoritative

Due to Yang You not having established an heir, after his death, the royal family fell into internal strife, and the prolonged turmoil directly stunted the flourishing fortunes of the empire.

The Yang Concubine appeared quite pleased.

It has always been about him abandoning women

The peaks and ridges are like a gathering, the waves are like fury. The mountains and rivers surround the road to Tongguan.

He swore that Li Zhan, right under his nose, was truly a useless person, an absolute waste.

After the assassination of Emperor Yang of Sui, his grandson Yang You remarkably rose like a meteor, defeating warlords such as Li Yuan and Wang Shichong, thereby extending the life of the Sui dynasty for more than 200 years

Chang'an is the western capital of the Great Qi dynasty

More than ten secret guards were unwilling to submit to Li Zhan

Your Majesty, are you truly not afraid of losing a son forever? Your Majesty is also aware that the events of that night were quite strange, and there may be deeper mysteries involved

Zhi Yue gazed at Li Zhan with a pair of lively and beautiful eyes filled with admiration

Li Tianci let out a cold snort

After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the land of Huaxia was plagued by a century of warlord conflicts, and the city of Chang'an suffered repeated devastation

Xi Jing City

Li Tianci became increasingly agitated as he spoke, feeling that he had seen through Li Zhan.

A prince of such stature, yet so lacking in intellect and means, is truly not worth lamenting over his death

If Yang Fei is recalled, he will be able to persuade his daughter

When the internal strife subsided, the Turks and Khitans on the grasslands had already risen, and the Sui Dynasty could only retreat within the Great Wall, struggling painfully, continuously ceding territory and seeking alliances, barely surviving

In comparison, Li Tianci was more enraged by Li Zhan's break with him

Severing ties with me, he will not have a good outcome

However, the ambitious Yang Youying passed away at a young age

Your Majesty, are you truly determined to exile King Tang to Xiliang?

Looking towards the western capital, my thoughts are hesitant. The places where the Qin and Han dynasties once flourished are now filled with sorrow, and the countless palaces have all turned to dust

He came to plead, not out of concern for Li Zhan, but out of worry for the safety of his precious daughter

Any act of betrayal will deal a significant blow to the Great Qi

Liu Changqing said with a bitter smile

Shentu Zhong was even more astonished

Shentu Zhong also did not know what had possessed him to actually ally himself with this good-for-nothing

Standing on the desolate hillside, gazing at the ruins that tower everywhere in the city of Chang'an, Li Xian could not help but let out a soft sigh

How is it that you also wish to teach me how to do things

Liu Changqing let out a soft sigh

I want him to go out and be beaten by reality, to experience the taste of begging and suffering

Yang Fei can be considered the first

However, this poem is concise and straightforward, easy to understand and catchy, perfectly fitting the emotions and the scene, making it difficult not to comprehend.

No, Shentu Zhong's family also relocated in advance. I suspect that Shentu Zhong has already defected

He wants to inform everyone

Liu Qingxue's expression was one of disdain; she absolutely did not believe that this poem was composed by Li Zhan

It is truly laughable; he is merely seeking to attract attention and provoke me. You have all fallen for this rebellious child's scheme

Li Tianci's expression grew increasingly grim, as the secret guards numbered only three in total, and they held control over the entire national secrets of the Great Qi.

Bianliang is the eastern capital of the Great Qi dynasty

Longqing, what brings you to me?

Hmph! Even if I am killed by the chaotic army or captured by the bandit forces, that is their own doing and has nothing to do with me

Even Peng Bao could not help but applaud

Your Majesty, even if King Tang is unfilial, the Empress Yang is innocent

Do you think he can go out to achieve great accomplishments, make a name for himself, and then come back to slap my face?

It is merely a facade of politeness, lurking like a venomous snake

Not only can they not compose poetry or lyrics, but they can also make a large number of mistakes even when copying texts and illustrations.

Relieve me of my worries? Perhaps you need me to relieve you of your worries instead

Furthermore, you are to dispatch two hundred cavalry to closely monitor that rebellious son. He must be delivered to Liangzhou without any chance of returning midway, escaping, or enjoying freedom outside.

Although he is a rough and unrefined person, he does not understand poetry and verses

When did this waste learn to write lyrics? I don't even know where it was stolen from

What do you think he can achieve after leaving the capital?

I do not dare to, but the situation in Liangzhou is critical, and I am concerned for the safety of Consort Yang and King Tang

Li Tianci could not believe that Li Zhan would obediently go to Liangzhou

Li Tianci let out a cold snort and said angrily

It is not he who is at fault, but rather that ungrateful child

Your Majesty, Li Zhan and his party have arrived in the Western Capital

In the end, Liu Changqing left the imperial study with a look of dejection on his face

This world lacks the Tang Dynasty, as the turning point in history occurred during the Sui Dynasty

Zhan Er has grown up

Is there still no news from the Fifth Guard

Prosperity brings suffering to the common people; demise also brings suffering to the common people

As for Li Zhan, that brainless waste of space

As soon as Liu Changqing left, Li Tianci summoned another commander of the secret guards.

Young master, what a fine poem!

He is the emperor

Currently, the Dangxiang and Tubo people have established their own territories in the Hexi Corridor, leading to the severance of the Silk Road. Today's Chang'an is even inferior to a small city in the Jiangnan region

Dying outside, what does it have to do with him

Betrayal? How is that possible? He has no reason to betray me. Continue the investigation; we must capture Shen Tu Zhong alive. I am quite curious as to who has given him the audacity.

What future is there in following this useless prince? One can never tell when he might lose his mind.

Liu Changqing wore a look of helplessness, yet still hoped that Li Tianci could summon Yang Fei back.

Even if Li Zhan was truly framed, it is still Li Zhan's own fault

Upon arriving in Liangzhou, all his possessions were confiscated, his guards and servants were dismissed, a flock of sheep was allocated to him, and several acres of land were assigned to him, allowing him to tend the sheep and cultivate the land, to support himself and to fend for himself.

His daughter has been following Yang Fei all the way

Do not alert the snake by beating the grass, the operation will take place at midnight tonight, as long as we cut off Shen Tu Zhong's head and then bring this useless prince back to Bianjing, His Majesty will not only refrain from punishing us but will also reward us generously

Good

The more people tried to persuade him, the more he felt compelled to impose harsher punishments on Li Zhan

Hmph! He is still too inexperienced to deceive me

The Sui Dynasty did not fall at the hands of Emperor Yang of Sui

Li Xian and his companions set up camp by the Wei River

No woman has ever dared to abandon him

Mentioning Yang Fei made Li Tianci even angrier

As a father himself, he does not wish to lose a daughter

What is there to sympathize with for something that does not know its own worth

The capital city, the Imperial Study.

Where is that ungrateful child now

Your Majesty, I have come to share your burdens

Li Tianci tossed aside the memorial in his hand and looked at Liu Changqing, who had been waiting for a long time, with a smile that was neither here nor there

I did not expect that Your Highness possesses such talent; it was truly hidden too deeply in the past

I have many sons; losing one is of no consequence. Moreover, this one was a troublemaker, a rebellious and defiant son. With his death, I am relieved.

As for whether Li Zhan was framed, he is not concerned at all

Liu Changqing's expression became serious, his brows furrowing tightly

As the leader of the secret guards, he monitors the nobility and aristocrats of the capital city

Hmph, this worthless person doesn't know where they heard that word from

Li Tianci cast a cold smile and glanced at Liu Changqing, his tone filled with disdain

Liu Changqing slightly bowed and smiled

However, I understood, yet I could not help but feel a deep sense of sorrow
