The ten officials stood in a row. Li Yi held the information in his hand and compared it with them.
They were all between 23 and 26 years old, and all of them were admitted to the imperial examination.
In addition, they knew a lot of foreign languages and exercised regularly.
"Have you all written your wills?" Li Yi's gaze swept across the faces of the ten officials.
The ten of them were stunned almost at the same time. Then, six of them reacted and nodded vigorously.
The other four looked hesitant and nodded one after another.
"Third Brother, I just remembered that I need to bring along craftsmen. I'll bring four of them." Li Yi casually eliminated the other four.
The four of them were stunned again. One of them was anxious and shouted at Li Longji, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I …"
"It's useless for His Majesty to send you here. I'll write a letter to His Majesty. You may leave. Do you want to cause trouble for your family?" Li Yi interrupted him.
"Yes!" The clothes of the official who had shouted just now were drenched in sweat as soon as he finished his sentence.
The four of them turned around regretfully and left with their heads bowed.
The other six officials had joy in their eyes. When they looked at Li Yi, their eyes were different.
Li Longji did not show any emotion. Li Yi had been talking all this time.
He was relieved. Li Yi did it on purpose. He was afraid that someone would not listen to him because he was personally chosen by His Majesty.
When the time came, he would kill them. The team was short of manpower outside.
If he did not kill them, other people might have other thoughts. It would not be good for Li Yi to lead the team.
Just now, Brother Yi clearly told the six people who were left behind that His Majesty would not protect them in front of him.
"Li Dongzhu, no, Dongzhu, shall we write our wills now?" One of the six asked.
"No need to write. I guarantee that you will live. You can call me Dongzhu on the ship. Outside, I am officially known as the Tang dynasty's Overseas Pacification Envoy, Rank One. "
Li Yi made himself an official temporarily. In a while, he would ask someone to find Bi Goo and the others and quickly send them over.
The six officials were speechless.
He made himself an official just like that? Can't you just come up with an official's name at will?
"Admiral of Heavenly Strategies," Li Longji said.
When the six officials heard this, they felt that this official position seemed a little familiar, but they couldn't remember where.
"Civil and Martial Saint Emperor, Li Shimin." Li Yi told the six of them. Don't even think about it. That's right, I said his name directly.
The officials looked at Li Yi again. They stared at him and asked with their eyes: Are you crazy? You dare to ask for this official position? You want to rebel?
"I'll use it temporarily. When I come back, I'll replace it with my own two Secondary Class Two."
Li Yi wanted it. He represented the Tang dynasty, so he had to be the most prominent one.
Why not the Grand Preceptor and the other two Grand Preceptors? Li Yi felt that the General of Heavenly Strategies was better. He could set up a manor and appoint officials overseas.
He was appointed on behalf of himself, not the emperor.
There was one advantage. If the appointed small tribes attacked other tribes, the Tang dynasty would not have to take responsibility.
If I appoint officials on behalf of His Majesty and someone is beaten up, will the Tang dynasty send troops?
He could attack or retreat. In fact, it was just a trick.
The six officials didn't want to talk. This kind of official position could be changed back and forth. You can change it. After all, you're Li Yi.
"Song De, arrange a rest." Li Yi drove them away. He still had something to say to Li Longji.
The six people left. Li Yi took out a box and opened it. There were many letters inside.
"Third Brother, I don't know how many things will happen in the Tang dynasty after I leave. I've made a list of all the things I can think of. If you encounter something you can't decide on, take a look. Maybe it can provide you with some ideas."
Li Yi handed the box over. Li Longji hurriedly hugged it and didn't look at it at all. He looked at Li Yi and was about to cry.
"Is it a plan?" Princess Yongmu thought it was fun. She read it from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
There were similar plots in the novel. It was very enjoyable.
"You also sleep early. We'll be on the road early tomorrow morning. We'll be very fast. We won't rest much until we reach the sea."
Li Yi said to Princess Yongmu. He knew that Princess Yongmu was excited. She could go out to play and look at the sea.
In fact, if you look at the sea too much, you'll vomit. It's not interesting at all.
Princess Yongmu pulled Xiao Lan and the little girl away and went back to sleep.
Some of the Winged Knights outside had already set off in advance with many horses.
Some were resting. They needed to recover their energy.
The bridge and outside the city were still lively. The people didn't want to sleep.
During the New Year, many lanterns were hung. It was such a bright night. If they didn't go out for a walk and eat something, they would feel sorry for the candles.
The second day of the New Year arrived. Since last night, the southwest wind had been blowing.
The wind was especially bad. The snow and ice had begun to melt. It was not good for sleds to move.
The road was also wet. The shoes of the people were soaked as soon as they touched the water.
However, the ducks and geese were happier. They could go to the river after the snow melted.
In fact, it was still early. It would take at least more than a month for the river to open.
The Capital Magistrate's Office, as well as the ice on the surface of the rivers in the northeast and northwest, were still standing horizontally.
In a few days, it would become vertical. It would be dangerous. People and animals were not allowed to go on the ice.
Li Yi and the others had breakfast and set off amidst the sound of farewell.
The 3,000 Winged Knights were in charge of protecting them. They traveled on land and moved forward quickly. Li Yi's ambulance was surrounded in the middle.
Li Longji stood on top of the Li Family Zhuangzi and looked through the binoculars.
"It's better to love the soil of one's hometown than to love thousands of taels of gold in another place."
Li Chengqi looked and said the words in the Journey to the West that Li Yi copied.
This happened during Li Shimin's time. Old Tang, Tang Xuanzang.
Li Chengqi liked to read the Journey to the West. It mainly mentioned his elders. It was the elders who asked Tang Xuanzang to go.
In fact, at first, the imperial court didn't let him go. It had nothing to do with the emperor. Why would the emperor meet an unknown person?
Later, when he became famous and returned to the country, the treatment was different.
"Dongzhu will go out for a while and bring back good things for us. We must make Zhuangzi more stable than when Dongzhu was here."
Song De shouted through the loudspeaker in Zhuangzi. It was the same as the loudspeaker in the village.
"Eat, sleep, don't do anything else." The people who just got off work heard the shouts and became serious.
Otherwise, they would have to play for a while. They didn't want to sleep.
They were afraid that it would affect their normal work. They slept when they needed to. They couldn't force themselves to sleep.
The children were also sensible. They didn't have classes now. They went to study by themselves or put together the building blocks that were not completed.
"In the future, the small court meetings will be held in Li Family Zhuangzi." Li Longji announced.
In his opinion, when Brother Yi was here, he was in charge of Chang 'an. When Brother Yi left, he would help to take charge of Li Family Zhuangzi.
Gao Lishi went to pass the message. It was mainly to tell others not to make Her Majesty angry.
Especially not to have any ideas about Li Family Zhuangzi. There were still many Winged Knights around. They were enough to destroy any family.
…
Li Yi's team moved quickly. They changed horses every 30 miles.
The horses that arrived early yesterday were taken back.
When they reached Henan, there were many horses available.
Then, they went all the way to Haizhou. From Haizhou, which was the place where Lianyun Harbor was.
They walked along the shore for a while, bypassed Japan's Kyushu Island, and went straight to Mexico.
