Tang Dynasty: Father, if you don't rebel, I will!

It has been nearly four years since the Tang Dynasty gained substantial control over Silla.

This tiger, which was not even worthy of baring its teeth in front of the Tang Dynasty, had its teeth pulled out by Prince Li Yin of Liang, and Queen Jin Deman even married into the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, becoming one of the crown prince's concubines.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was reduced to a mere sect of the Tang Dynasty.

Under the rule of Prince Li Yin of Liang and with the support of the Tang Dynasty, the domestic livelihood quickly recovered to a relatively stable level.

Busan Port.

The place where Li Yin led his troops to land back then.

The Tang Dynasty allocated some of its 30 million strings of cash here, though it was still not enough to compare with places like Dengzhou and Guangzhou Prefecture.

However, it was more prosperous than Fukuoka Port under the rule of the Han King.

At this moment, just two days before the arrival date estimated by Crown Prince Li Chengqian in the message sent by the golden eagle, Busan Port was directly ordered to be under martial law by Prince Liang, Li Yin.

"Your Highness, rest assured. We have already dealt with most of the Silla nobles who were dissatisfied with us. The remaining ones are under our surveillance and would never have the opportunity to do anything detrimental to Your Highness."

"The Busan Port Hotel is also fully prepared. From accommodations to the kitchen and logistics, everything is under our strict supervision..."

"The port is under martial law, and the berths are ready..."

Busan Port City is built against the mountains and by the sea. Since most of the craftsmen were brought from the Tang Dynasty, both the architectural style and the design are completely in the style of the Tang Dynasty.

The maritime climate meant that Busan's temperature in October didn't feel particularly cold. Li Yin listened to the reports from his two subordinates, the brothers Di Rengui and Di Renquan, while trying on clothes in front of the mirror.

Princess Kim Seung-man of Silla personally served him.

"This is my brother's first time in Silla, and he is certainly testing us. We have been governing Silla for several years..." Yi Yin said, pausing slightly, and looked at Di Rengui and Di Renquan.

"You two were recommended to me by my elder brother. This time, my brother is also considering your performance. You can't afford to make any mistakes, understand?"

Di Rengui and Di Renquan bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, rest assured, we brothers have not returned home once in all these years, all for the sake of making achievements. We have not dared to slack off for years, and it is impossible for us to make any mistakes at this moment!"

The two of them were clearly showing a mix of nervousness and excitement, as if they were facing an exam.

Li Yin looked at himself in the mirror, his expression slightly dazed for a moment, and murmured to himself.

"Time flies! It's almost the end of the sixth year of the Zhenguan era..."

The man in the mirror was only about 1.45 meters tall when he first arrived in Silla, but now he has grown to over 1.7 meters tall, with a handsome appearance, wearing the robes of the King of Liang.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Looking at it this way, among all my brothers, only my Crown Prince and Third Brother can rival me in appearance..."

Di Rengui and Di Renquan: "..."

This sixth prince, Prince Liang, is good in every way: he listens to advice, is diligent, and possesses the decisive and ruthless methods of royalty.

The point is, he can be shameless towards his enemies, and he can also be shameless towards his own people...

The Crown Prince of Tang is about to arrive in Busan.

The current Grand Chancellor of Silla, Eulje, would naturally come to Busan to personally welcome him.

Prince Li Yin of Liang was afraid that his elder brother, the emperor, would encounter something disgusting on his first visit, so he instructed his men to be on high alert in everything.

however.

Yi Ji is now even more nervous than Prince Li Yin of Liang.

At this moment, in his residence in Busan, he was issuing a stern warning to the officials who had accompanied him.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince and the King have a very close relationship, and it won’t be long before the King is also pregnant with an heir. Think about the fate of the ministers of the Yeon clan of Goguryeo who followed them in their rebellion, and then think about the property and land of your respective families now.”

"Are you going to focus on doing your job well and governing the area, or are you going to think about those unrealistic and crazy things that will bring misfortune to everyone... I don't want any of you to be such fools!"

Yiji is so nervous!

A while ago, Echuan Lang, who had been falsely accused and arrested by Prince Liang Li Yin years ago, was finally released by order of Prince Liang after Princess Jin Shengman's repeated requests.

They also granted the other side some local military power.

As a result, his former subordinates, who had been marginalized after the establishment of the Silla-Tang Alliance Army in the Tang Dynasty, harbored resentment and instigated Echeon Lang to rebel...

Poor Echuan Lang, he had clearly given up any thoughts of fighting and was ready to obediently serve the Tang Dynasty.

He was driven out by those damned henchmen without even understanding what was going on.

They were swept aside by the Tang Dynasty's Imperial Guards and their collaborators, who had received advance warning. His body, still thin and frail from his recent release from prison, was trampled to smithereens by warhorses...

Yi Ji shuddered at the thought of that miserable state.

The way he looked at his subordinates had become more wary.

He's quite old. When he went to the Tang Dynasty with gold a while ago, the Queen said that she had persuaded the Crown Prince to allow several of his family's grandchildren to study in the Tang Dynasty, and that they would definitely be able to inherit the family business when they returned from their studies.

"Anyone who dares to betray me at this time, I guarantee that your entire family will suffer a fate worse than death!"

.......

"Onion! Orange!!!"

When the treasure ship carrying Li Chengqian appeared on the sea as Li Yin waited, the Silla general and Tang allied army generals in charge of security and etiquette at Busan Port were present.

They all hurriedly straightened their clothes, patted their faces, and tried to perk themselves up.

As the treasure ship docked, Li Chengqian appeared before everyone.

A uniform salute, accompanied by the pure and unmistakable word "loyalty," made Li Chengqian's lips twitch involuntarily.

Standing on the wooden platform where people disembarked, after thinking for a moment, he expressed his goodwill towards the large, neatly arranged honor guard below.

He waved gently, suppressing the urge to say something, and disembarked from the boat.

Li Yin excitedly rushed forward, even pretending to help an elderly person, and was about to offer his hand to support Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian slapped his hand aside in an annoyed manner.

"If you don't want me to throw you into the sea for a swim, then don't cause me any trouble!"

Li Yin chuckled, and Jin Shengman, who was beside him, bowed respectfully when she saw Li Chengqian's gaze.

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, but his gaze skipped over the other person and landed on the two Di brothers beside him, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Hehe, it seems I really did have a discerning eye back then. I've heard about what you two have been doing in Silla all these years. Not bad... Keep up the good work, and you'll surely be ennobled and appointed prime minister in the future!"

As soon as these words came out.

The surprise and delight caused the brothers Di Rengui and Di Renquan to tremble, their hearts pounding, and their faces turning red.

"loyalty!"

Li Chengqian: "???"
