"Xiao Gong, I have been ordered by the prince to lead 30,000 Lingzhou garrisons and stockpile Chen Cang!"

Li Daozong shouted softly, stood up, his eyes full of blood, and he stared at Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong was shocked. After hearing Li Daozong's words, his back was covered in cold sweat.

"You dare to rebel!"

Li Xiaogong shouted fiercely, his thick eyebrows stood up, and he turned over and pulled out the treasure sword hanging on the wall. The two of them were instantly nervous.

"The crown prince's order is here, and I am ordered to act, so where did I rebel?"

Although Li Daozong was unarmed, he was not showing any weakness and did not retreat. He took out a bright yellow scroll and spread it in front of Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong looked at Li Chengdao's signature on the scroll.

"The prince has no power to mobilize troops at all! Without the transfer order from the emperor and the Ministry of War, you, Li Daozong, dare to mobilize the army without authorization!"

Li Xiaogong said slowly, word by word, every word is sonorous and powerful, and every word is murderous.

"Haha, you think Prince Ling does not have this power, but I don't think so. I, Li Daozong, think Prince Ling can mobilize me, the general manager of Lingzhou!"

Li Daozong refused to give in. The two friends who were just drinking and enjoying dances, and their famous friends instantly confronted each other.

Time passed, and the silence in the room was as dead as the room.

"What do you want to do?"

I don’t know how long it took, Li Xiaogong slowly put down the sword in his hand, but the murderous aura on his body did not dissipate, and his frowning brows seemed to be locked firmly with an iron lock.

Li Daozong's eyes moved slightly. He knew that his old friend had finally begun to think about whether to surrender to the Eastern Palace.

"Immediately ordered the transfer of 300 Yangzhou warships to rush to Shangyang City with all their might, and 50,000 troops from Jianghuai and Lingnan provinces were transferred to Tongguan..."

"impossible!"

Li Xiaogong flatly refused before Li Daozong could finish his words!

"This is the Crown Prince's Order! The Grand Governor of Yangzhou and Zong Zhengqing Li Xiaogong received the order!"

Li Daozong took a step forward and took out a new bright yellow scroll from his arms.

Li Xiaogong took a step back. Is this Li Chengdao forcing him to express his opinion? His mind was flashing, and the heavens and man were fighting, and his forehead was covered with cold sweats as big as beans. Should this prince order be answered?

If he did not want to surrender to the Eastern Palace, then this prince's order would be bullshit to him. The prince never had the power to dispatch troops. As the governor of Yangzhou, Li Xiaogong was in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, so why should he obey the orders of the Eastern Palace?

But if he wanted to surrender to the Eastern Palace, then this crown prince order would be more important than the imperial edict and the Ministry of War. Once he decided to surrender to the Eastern Palace, he would transfer 300 Yangzhou warships to Shangyang City with all his might and draw 50,000 troops from Jianghuai and Lingnan prefectures to hoard troops Tongguan. This is the letter of surrender he would hand over to Li Chengdao.

There is no ambiguous choice now, either you accept the order or you do not accept the order.

Li Xiaogong remembered what Li Daozong said to him just now. Now the relationship between the emperor and Li Chengdao is not the relationship between the Eastern Palace and the Qin Palace, and Li Chengdao is not Li Shimin. They can see Li Shimin's trump card clearly, but no one can see Li Chengdao's trump card clearly. The hidden strength and future potential of him are far from what Li Shimin can do.

Li Shimin's seizure of the throne was a mutiny, and it was natural for Li Chengdao to ascend the throne, and it was natural. No one can stop him now.

Li Xiaogong's face was gloomy and gloomy. It was not known how long it had been since the emperor's last court meeting. Since Li Chengdao ascended the position of crown prince, he has never been a morning court again, and the entire court atmosphere has become increasingly incomprehensible.

Did Li Chengdao really not see Li Yuan’s actions outside? Or did Li Yuan see it, but he did not stop it and let it go.

If this is true, then the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Chengdao is not as expected by the outside world, and all his decisions must be reconsidered.

But the most urgent question facing me now is whether to accept the order or not, and there is no time for Li Xiaogong to investigate carefully?

If you think about the consequences of not receiving the order, you will know that after Li Chengdao takes office, you don’t even need to wait until then. As long as Li Chengdao’s power in the court becomes stronger and stronger, his Li Xiaogong’s status will be in danger. Even judging by Li Chengdao’s thunderous means of treating the Qin Prince’s Mansion, his life will be very sad after Li Xiaogong loses power.

"Li Xiaogong, you answered, or not!"

Li Daozong stared at Li Xiaogong, who was already sweating profusely, and his hand holding the knife was clenched from time to time and loosened from time to time.

"My minister, Li Xiaogong, receive the order!"

Finally, Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth and half knelt on the ground. Li Daozong also let out a sigh of relief and walked forward to hand the crown prince order to Li Xiaogong.

"You are so stubborn, and you can't even pull it. His grandmother's just now had a knife. You want to kill me!"

Li Daozong was not drunk at this time. When the two of them confronted each other just now, the critical moment and arrows on the string had already dispersed the alcoholic smell on their bodies.

"Hmph! I would have cut you if I had known it."

Li Xiaogong also relaxed. Since the prince's order has been accepted, he would not consider the consequences of not accepting the order.

"Let's go, the prince is still waiting for us."

As soon as Li Xiaogong sat down, he took a big sip of wine and tried to relieve his exhausted spirit after the battle between heaven and man, but Li Xiaogong pulled him up and rushed out in a hurry.

"What? See Li Chengdao... no, see the prince?"

Li Xiaogong was a little confused. Why did he feel that the situation was going fast? He had just made this decision and was going to see Li Chengdao now? It would be better if he was anxious.

"Yes, the prince said he left you a mysterious gift, and promised that you will not regret today's decision!"

Li Daozong smiled mysteriously, and the two of them rode on the horses they had prepared long ago and headed out of Chang'an City.

"Chengzong, tell me honestly, what would you do if I didn't agree just now?"

On the way, Li Xiaogong couldn't help asking this question.

"If you don't agree."

Li Daozong was silent for a while.

"Then I will go find Li Jing..."

"If Li Jing doesn't agree, he is more cautious than me."

"There will be someone who agrees. If Li Jing and you don't agree, there will be someone else who will do what you want to do. As for people, there will always be someone who will look for..."

Li Daozong remembered what Li Chengdao said to him.
