The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 677 Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division
Li Yan said calmly, "Wu Qing is the remnant of Prince Yin, and he also killed the General of the Left Guard, the son of Duke Lu. His crimes are extremely serious. He cannot show up in this world again, otherwise he will implicate you."

"I know you can't bear to kill him, so I won't make it difficult for you. I'll do it for you. If your uncle knows about this, he will only blame me, not you."

Chang Sheng was filled with infinite fear at this moment. He knew that the prince was testing him just now. If he continued to conceal and deceive, he would probably face a different ending.

What happened today impacted Chang Sheng's cognition again and again. The prince, whom he thought he knew very well and was very familiar with for many years, became extremely unfamiliar. For the first time, Chang Sheng felt the majesty of a superior from the prince, which was awe-inspiring.

Li Yan ignored the complicated expression on Chang Sheng's face, stood up and walked to the door, and said in a low voice: "Chang Sheng, if there are any hidden dangers, you can handle it yourself and do a good job of the aftermath. This matter is over, and no one should mention it again in the future. You are still the General of the Left Guard of the Eastern Palace."

"Your father and Miss Caiji are waiting for you in the carriage at the gate of the East Palace. Take them back to Pingkangfang and marry Miss Caiji as soon as possible so that you can live a good life in the future."

After Li Yan finished speaking, he led Wang Xuance out of the Chongwen Hall. As they walked, Wang Xuance said, "Your Highness, do you want to send someone to follow you? In case you are not afraid of him..."

Halfway through his speech, Wang Xuance looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Li Yan smiled slightly: "You mean, you're afraid that he'll run away with his father and wife."

Seeing Wang Xuance nod in agreement, Li Yan said confidently: "I am the crown prince, I will not do such mean things, a forced melon is not sweet. Changsheng has been with me for so many years, and we have a deep relationship. If he really wants to leave, I will not stop him. The Eastern Palace never forces anyone. As long as they understand why they want to come and go, they can come and go freely."

“As long as we understand why we come and go, we can come and go freely?”

Wang Xuance murmured it twice and understood what Li Yan meant. No matter who it is, as long as they follow the right path and want to leave, they can say goodbye to the prince openly and not do trivial things. They can leave with dignity.

If it is someone who steals or does something unscrupulous, the prince will naturally pursue it to the end.

Wang Xuance secretly admired the prince's magnanimity and stopped talking about Changsheng.
Chang Sheng, on the other hand, walked out of the East Palace gate in a daze, and saw the carriage parked beside him. He lifted the curtain and got on the carriage. Chang Sanduo and Cai Ji, who had been waiting for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had experienced so many thrilling things in the past half day. Cai Ji, a little girl, could no longer bear it and threw herself into Chang Sheng's arms and cried bitterly.

Changsheng thought of the night he left home many years ago, when he hugged Caiji, who was reluctant to leave, and the two of them made vows to each other. At this moment, stroking Caiji's back and feeling the warm heartbeat in his arms, he felt as if his life had just been a big dream.

Wake up from the dream and return to the beginning.

Old Man Chang watched this scene happily, took out a customs document from the side and handed it over, saying: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that after many years of friendship, he will give you one last chance. If you stay, you must be his loyal subject in the future and cannot be half-hearted; if you can't do that, you can take us away, to the ends of the earth, anywhere you want."

"Otherwise, you will harm him, yourself, and us."

Chang Sheng felt as if struck by lightning. Looking at the customs clearance documents handed to him, tears started to flow again.

Chang Sanduo advised, "Sir, I think the Crown Prince is a good man and has feelings for you. Besides, the Tang Dynasty still rules wherever we go. I am old and have been running around for the past few years. I won't live for many more years, and I don't want to bother with that anymore."

"I just want you and Caiji to get married soon, so that I can have some grandchildren and continue the Chang family's bloodline."

"We don't know what's going on here. If possible, you should be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! You are now a fourth-rank official in the court. It's not easy for us common people to earn such a high position. It would be a pity to lose it."

Chang Sheng wiped his tears and asked, "Cai Ji, what do you think?"

"Brother Lingguan, I'll listen to you."

Cai Ji said: "However, I think what His Royal Highness said makes sense. If you can be devoted to the Crown Prince, then stay. If not, then we will leave Chang'an and return to our hometown to live. We can no longer do the dangerous things we did before."

Chang Sheng nodded heavily: "Okay, I will listen to you and be loyal to the prince."

Cai Ji smiled sweetly, looking at Chang Sheng, her eyes were full of affection, the three of them were all smiling, as if the difficulties of the past few years had been overcome, and now the hardship has paid off, and the future will be better. There are four gates at the main gate on the south side of the East Palace, and the left and right sides of these four gates are separated into four large areas, each of which is about the size of two football fields. The outermost Zuo Yongfu Gate is stationed with hundreds of soldiers from the left and right gates of the East Palace Ten Guards, responsible for guarding these four gates.

On the other side, entering the Right Yongfu Gate is where the eunuchs, palace maids, maids, servants and other miscellaneous staff of the Eastern Palace live. In addition to the first ten tutors who were allowed to enter the military camp as guards, some later tutors also lived here.

Li Yan inspected it personally. The place is very large. A special area has been set aside to build houses to accommodate the increasing number of people. This includes various talents who will be recruited to the Eastern Palace in the future. Li Yan has carefully reserved space for them.

The two innermost areas are the subordinate locations of Zuochunfang and Youchunfang respectively. Zuochunfang is similar to the Secretariat of the imperial court, and it also has all the institutions under the Secretariat; Youchunfang is similar to the Menxia Province of the imperial court, and it has the same various departments.

Li Yan selected a separate courtyard in the Neizhi Bureau under Zuochunfang and sent guards from the Neishufu to guard it as the experience office of the Jinyiwei. All the archives of the Jinyiwei were located here. Su Dingfang and Liang Jianfang usually worked here.

Since the last talk with Wang Xuance, the Jinyiwei Experience Department has an additional office location. Wang Xuance became the pacification envoy of the Zhenfu Department, the fourth giant of the Jinyiwei. All the archival materials of the Jinyiwei are fully open to Wang Xuance.

But Li Yan never comes to this place, not because it is troublesome or inconvenient.

Li Yan knew that he was too conspicuous. There were so many guards and servants in the Eastern Palace. If he went to the Neizhi Bureau frequently, it would not take long for people to notice him. So no matter what happened, Li Yan would rather trouble Su Dingfang and Liang Jianfang to come to the palace for questioning than come in person.

Wang Xuance often attends the emperor, and it is very convenient for him to enter and exit the Eastern Palace. All servants of the Eastern Palace have the right to enter and exit the front half of the Eastern Palace, while the back half, the prince's living area, can only be entered and exited by people allowed by Li Yan. Currently, only Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance have this authority.

But these two people never used it rashly. Every time they entered, they were with Li Yan, led in by Li Yan, or entered after asking for permission.

On this day, Li Yan was discussing the affairs of the Jinyiwei with Wang Xuance in the Cheng'en Hall at the back. This assignment was now the top priority in Li Yan's mind.

"Xuan Ce, you are in charge of supervision and law and discipline. I will also leave the security of the Experience Office to you. You must do a good job of guarding. Everything there is strictly confidential. Except for the emperor's decree and my order from the crown prince, no one is allowed to enter."

Li Yan thought for a moment and then solemnly said, "However, those are all Jinyiwei's information on the distribution of external forces in the Tang Dynasty. As for the internal work, it has not yet been approved by my father. I just gave it to him privately."

"You must make this clear. All the information must not be backed up. You only need to remember it firmly in your mind. You must hand the original to me in person and I will keep it in the study room of Cheng'en Hall. If you need to inquire, just come to me directly."

Wang Xuance knew the seriousness of this matter. If the emperor found out, the prince would be in big trouble, so he said seriously: "Your Highness, don't worry. Xuance knows the seriousness of this matter. Even if the emperor interrogates me personally, I will only die."

"Ha ha."

Li Yan was stunned, looking at the other party's serious face, and then smiled: "It's not that serious. These things are all aimed at various internal forces, and are also for the protection of the rights and interests of the Tang Dynasty and this prince. In fact, even if we don't say it, Father knows it in his heart."

"Don't forget, Father was once a prince. He knows exactly what a prince who wants to be an emperor is thinking and what he will do. If he doesn't have these thoughts, it would be abnormal."

"I told you to be careful mainly to prevent others, but there is nothing to hide from the emperor. If one day the emperor asks you, you can tell him everything. Even if the emperor knows, he will not blame you."

Wang Xuance breathed a sigh of relief: "I was overthinking, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"It's nothing. I'm very happy that you have this heart."

Li Yan said appreciatively: "You only need to remember one thing in your work. As long as you don't cross this line, you can do it with confidence. That is, all work is not against the emperor. Below the emperor, no matter who it is, they can start surveillance and arrange insiders. Even I, the prince, can arrange two."

Wang Xuance was stunned. Li Yan explained, "It is inevitable that there will be insiders sent by other forces around me. You can send a few people from the Pacification Bureau to secretly protect my safety and do some work to fill in the gaps. Secondly, you can also carefully keep an eye on these guards, eunuchs and palace maids to see if there are any people with ulterior motives."

"So that's how it is. If Your Highness hadn't told me, I would have almost overlooked the most important link." Wang Xuance suddenly realized and said quickly with shame.
