Chapter 1227: Wind and Clouds of Chang`an

Li Yingqi organized a very extravagant dinner banquet for the Great Tang diplomatic group. But because Li Xuan's performance was lackluster and Han Cangshui didn't take up any responsibility as the main commander, Li Yingqi publicly proclaimed his unhappiness during the banquet and harshly berated Li Xuan.

(All of you are trash that cost me the tax money of a city. If you guys work harder, I won't have to give Sun Mo so much.)

Li Yingqi told Li Xuan to meditate in seclusion for a year. At the same time, he also praised Li Ziqi and Sun Mo and granted them a vast amount of wealth and also official positions.

However, what made people the most envious was that Li Yingqi bestowed the position of Jinling's city lord to Sun Mo. In the future, as long as he didn't rebel or commit any great crimes, he would be granted full amnesty. At the same time, he was eligible to obtain one-tenth of the taxes Jinling paid annually.
