Become a king.

At this moment, everyone's thoughts were different.

One by one, everyone wanted to know what this person thought at this moment. But they were just disappointed to see that Li Chao was facing the ancient well without avatar.

"That's what you are doing?" Li Chao finally smiled, but sneered. He snorted, crossed his hands and fingers, and sat there, with two condescending eyes like two sharp swords throwing towards Han Jing.

The messenger felt his throat was dry, so he swallowed hard. Then he nodded vigorously, "Prince Zhao, please get the order."

Li Chao laughed disdainfully, then turned to Cheng Yaojin and said, "Old Cheng, do you answer?"

"Prince Lu, tsk tsk tsk tsk." Old Cheng touched his forehead and tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

The messenger's eyes lit up, and he showed a look of joy. Even if Li Chao refused to accept the order, it would be nice to have Cheng Yaojin accept the order. Now, there are only these two people holding military talismans in their hands. If they have internal conflicts, there will be a good show.

Lao Cheng glared at the messenger, "Are you laughing so hard?"

The messenger was stunned on the spot for no reason.

"What I said is that Your Majesty is giving me a reward, and I dare not refuse. But if it is someone else's reward, it is another matter. The Prince of Lu is just a pledge by the fake dynasty. How could I get the order to receive the title? What qualifications does the pledge have to add the title to me, Old Cheng, and they are worthy of it? Bah!"

The messenger is both ice and fire, and he wishes he could rush up and slap Cheng's gangster twice. If you don't answer, you won't answer. Is it interesting to deliberately fool people?

Li Chao looked at the rest of the people with a smile.

"Is anyone going to accept the order?"

The envoys sent by Li Yuan read not only gave Li Chao and Cheng Yaojin the title of king, but also gave the envoys to the two preaching and preaching commanders and the envoys of the two naval commanders and generals in the military administrations and schools in the two roads.

He no longer takes these titles and official positions seriously and rewards in large quantities.

Li Chao and Cheng Yaojin were granted the title of Prince, and they also assigned the western Liaoning to Li Chao as a vassal state. They assigned the Yuzhou Island in Huainan, that is, Donghai County, as a vassal state. The high-ranking officials of the two vassal states were all granted the title of Duke of the State, and all the civil and military officials in the two vassal states were all promoted to the rank of one level.

This approach will lead to endless troubles.

The title and official position of the country are very important. Too stingy will cause trouble, but too excessive will make things more likely to happen. But now Li Yuan obviously can't control himself, so he only cares about the present moment.

This approach is actually useful. Li Chao and Cheng Yaojin are both die-hard confidants of Li Shimin. They were participants in the planning of the Xuanwu Sect Incident and important officials of the new dynasty. They were actually tied to Li Shimin and had the same interests. Therefore, even if they were crowned as king, Li Chao would not be moved.

But the other officials are different.

They changed their bids to Li Yuan, and there was no need to worry about being liquidated later. On the contrary, they could be promoted and made a fortune by changing their bids. Especially now they were not sure whether the emperor had died in the Western Regions. In addition, many people were actually dissatisfied with the new law.

The new policy of Zhenguan can be said to be the biggest contributor to the restoration this time.

Without the new Zhenguan policy, there would not be so many people supporting the Supreme Emperor.

Some people secretly thought in their hearts that if they accept it, they would be promoted and made a fortune, but when they saw Li Chao's gaze, many people lowered their heads guiltily and timidly.

If you want to receive the order to get promoted and make money, you have to pass Li Chao's stance first.

It was too difficult to pull Li Chao off the horse. Li Chao already had an army that obeyed him, and took over other troops. With his prestige in the court, the government and military circles, it was almost impossible to have a coup in Dengzhou.

"Very good. Your Majesty will know your loyalty to Your Majesty in the future." Li Chao nodded. Some of the people present must be half-hearted, but what they need at this time is to be with Guangchen, and what they want is not to fight in the internal struggle. Therefore, as long as they do not jump out openly, Li Chao will not care about those.

What about the Prince Zhao or the fining kingdom in western Liaoning? Go to hell. These are all stupid things, and Li Chao would not be so stupid that he believed it. Even if Li Yuan was forced to take out these things for him now, he could give them today and take them back tomorrow.

Li Jiancheng wanted to bribe him like this, but Li Chao refused. Today, he would not accept it again.

This is not about loyalty or not, it is just a benefit after all.

Li Chao's interests are now tied to Li Shimin's interests, and are tied to the Zhenguan New Deal. If Li Shimin is finished, the Zhenguan New Deal will be finished. The Tang Dynasty will not be able to tolerate his Li family on the Bashang, and Li Chao.

Li Shimin may be a bit domineering, but in terms of reform, he is still in line with Li Chao's direction. Li Shimin wants to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and Li Chao wants to develop and strengthen the Li family in Bashang, which is fundamentally the general environment.

Li Chao is really not interested in a prince.

At the end of August, the weather is getting colder.

Early in the morning, Dengzhou Port was already crowded.

Countless merchants and civilians rushed to the port.

Perhaps the officials, the honorary relatives, the gentry and the landlords in the court all opposed the new law and were willing to see the Supreme Emperor restored successfully, but for the merchants and the people in Dengzhou, they supported the new law and the emperor.

It is precisely because of the new Zhenguan policy that Dengzhou Port has jumped from a small fishing village to become the six major ports in the Tang Dynasty and the largest port in the north in a few years.

There are countless merchant ships coming in and out here every day, and a large number of merchants use this port to start related businesses, and their lives are prosperous and profitable. Even the ordinary people here have lived a lot better by riding this wave.

Now Duke Zhao is refuting the rumors, saying that it is not actually the restoration of the Supreme Emperor, but some rioters are just rebelling and holding the Supreme Emperor hostage. The emperor did not have any problems in the Western Regions and is rushing back.

Cheng Yaojin, the general of Lianghuai, also worked with Xuanfu and other government offices in Lianghuai to investigate rumor-mongers everywhere. Whoever dares to spread rumors will be severely punished if they are caught.

Under such circumstances, the situation in Dengzhou has improved a lot now, and there is no such atmosphere of fear and anxiety among everyone.

The port merchant ships are still in and out, and the market is busy with docks and the market is full of busyness, and everyone is busy making money. As for the others, there is Duke Zhao.

However, early this morning, everyone put down what they were doing and rushed to the port.

Because this morning, Duke Zhao led the army of the two Huai soldiers to raise an army to support the king.

Last night, merchants in Dengzhou also organized a donation banquet to raise money and grain for the King of Kings. The merchants enthusiastically donated money and raised 180,000 jin in one night.

The sea breeze blew the red flag of the King's Army, making a sound. Li Chao stood on the deck of the flagship Bashang and waved to the countless people who saw him off at the port.
