Li Chang'an pretended to be captivated by Xue Songguan's beauty, of course, to lull Huang Boren and the others into a false sense of security.
Their purpose was simply to send beautiful women to Li Chang'an so that he could continue to protect their position in Shazhou.
Those who hold office will remain officials, and those who run businesses will continue to make money.
Ideally, there should be no turmoil, and officials should remain inactive, as this best serves the interests of everyone.
However, what Li Chang'an wanted was Shazhou, which was under the control of his own people.
The Shazhou he wanted could serve as a base to fight against the Northern Barbarians and Xu Xiao.
Relying on these people in front of us is definitely not going to work.
Therefore, Li Chang'an had made up his mind.
Xue Songguan must be recruited.
But protecting these people's interests? No way!
It's not unacceptable to accept gifts without doing anything in return.
As long as you are strong enough, it is entirely possible!
Of course, Xue Songguan herself was beautiful and charming, making her irresistible.
Xue Songguan, who had lost his memory, thought that his beauty had attracted the prince, and was naturally overjoyed.
After a few rounds of drinks, Huang Boren began to formally probe.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask you something."
"Your Highness is stationed in Shazhou. I wonder what your plans are now?"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
High-ranking officials and members of the eight major families all came here to ask this question.
By the time Li Chang'an made his decision and issued the notice, it would be too late.
They all wanted to exert some influence before Li Chang'an made his decision.
Xu Xiao, and most of the people present, wanted to maintain the status quo.
Li Chang'an breathed softly into Xue Songguan's ear.
"Qing'er, how about serving me tonight?"
Xue Songguan's face was flushed, and he gripped Li Chang'an's collar tightly.
She buried her head in Li Chang'an's chest, too shy to even breathe.
"This concubine...is entirely at Your Highness's disposal."
The voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and the body was trembling slightly.
It'll be really interesting once this female assassin regains her memories.
Everyone was quiet except for Li Chang'an and Xue Songguan, who were whispering sweet nothings to each other.
Li Chang'an acted as if no one else was around, behaving extremely recklessly.
At this point, Huang Boren had a bad feeling.
Even if he was truly captivated by the beauty, why would he lose his composure like this?
The current situation is probably not due to Li Chang'an losing his composure.
Instead, this young prince should act disrespectful!
Huang Boren was immediately struck by a headache; this Li Chang'an was not easy to deal with!
Xue Songguan held Li Chang'an tightly, not letting Li Chang'an see her face again.
Since he couldn't flirt with the beautiful women, Li Chang'an started flirting with the men.
"Lord Huang, I'd like to discuss this matter with you."
Huang Boren was deeply moved, feeling both nervous and expectant.
Now that you've accepted the beauties, there's no need to cause any more trouble.
We'll send you tribute every month!
Li Chang'an said, "I conducted a secret investigation in the city today and found that Lord Huang has indeed made great contributions."
"Lord Huang is already beyond his capabilities, so why not pass the position to my strategist?"
"My strategist Zhuge Liang possesses the great talent to stabilize the country and bring peace to the nation!"
"Lord Huang, you should retire and return to your hometown as soon as possible!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned!
Huang Boren's face flushed red. He swallowed twice, completely unable to figure out Li Chang'an's tricks.
You're really something, accepting gifts but not doing anything in return!
In front of so many people, you're going to humiliate me!
The other officials were also terrified and completely confused about the situation.
Zhang Yichao burst into laughter, clearly delighted by the unexpected turn of events.
He had assumed that even if Li Chang'an was radical, he would still give these officials some face.
But, to everyone's surprise.
Li Chang'an is slapping someone right in the face!
"Hahaha! Your Highness is right!"
"That Huang Boren should have been replaced a long time ago!"
Huang Boren still held onto a sliver of hope, "Your Highness, this must be a joke."
Li Chang'an said, "Absolutely true!"
Huang Boren slammed his hand on the table!
"Your Majesty!"
"This humble official was appointed by the imperial court. If you wish to remove me, Your Highness, please submit a memorial to His Majesty!"
As soon as Huang Boren slammed his hand on the table, several experts sprang out from behind him.
Among them, there are two top-ranking masters.
They came prepared. I wonder if it's Xu Xiao's people or his own.
Huang Boren certainly wouldn't dare to fight in public; he didn't have the guts to defy his superiors.
He was afraid that Li Chang'an would lose control and kill him on the spot.
"What more can be said now that things have come to this?"
“These three counties of Shazhou are not something that the prince can control with his own hands!”
"This humble official will return to his residence first and await the imperial decree of dismissal!"
After speaking, Huang Boren, along with his guards, prepared to rush out the door.
Li Cunxiao, as imposing as an iron tower, was already waiting at the door with a large sword in hand.
Huang Boren said, "Your Highness, are you trying to force me to stay as an official?"
Li Chang'an said, "No, I only hope that you will submit a memorial yourself, relinquishing the positions of governor and prefect to Zhuge Liang."
Huang Boren thought of the powerful Northern Liang behind him and Han Laoshan hiding in the shadows, and a surge of heroic spirit rose in his heart!
"No way!"
The shout was so loud that even Xue Songguan, who was in Lichang Ha's arms, couldn't help but prick up his ears.
Then, there was a crisp sound!
Huang Boren's head flew up instantly and landed in the center of the stage!
The Feast at Hongmen ended in bloodshed!
Chapter 212 Execution of Han Laoshan, Aristocratic Families Clash with Each Other
Everyone present was stunned. Li Chang'an accepted the gift but did nothing, and even killed the person who gave the gift.
They don't play by the rules.
The guards behind Huang Boren were so frightened that they all fled in panic.
Two first-grade Vajra Realm experts were easily defeated by Li Cunxiao, who fought them both single-handedly.
In the quiet hall, everyone was silent, as if trembling with fear.
Even the notorious assassin Xue Songguan was trembling with fear.
Although she couldn't see, she could hear screams and smell blood.
"Your Highness, you killed Magistrate Huang?"
