Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Six hundred and fourteen return journey

Yangzhou City did not fall into greater panic after Li Jingye’s death, except for a few cases of wealthy aristocrats and local rogues who wanted to intimidate ordinary people at this point in time and were stopped by patrolling soldiers. No other accidents happened. m..

The deported soldiers, after leaving the city, there was no large-scale panic because of the large number of heavily armed soldiers behind them. Only some of the deported soldiers moved after leaving Yangzhou City. In order to plunder the minds of the people outside the city, they were all rectified by the Datang soldiers on the spot.

Li Hong nodded silently, and took a list of several personnel drafted by the minister of the staff. These people were either the chiefs of the counties under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, or some local officials, waiting for the imperial court to hire them.

"Tomorrow, let Lawlessness and General Pei Zhong lead the Futu camp back to Chang'an. It is enough to leave Weituqi. After Yangzhou City stabilizes, we will return to Chang'an. Also, ask Xiaoxue and the others as quickly as possible. Is there something major happening in Chang'an?" Li Hong said lightly while sitting in the corridor by the lake.

The weather has gradually got a hint of coolness. Even in Yangzhou, there is a hint of coolness in the middle of the night. Now the north has gradually entered winter.

Li Hong put on the thick clothes that the Dalai emperor brought, turned his head and glanced at her, thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow you will go back to Chang'an with the lawlessness. After arriving in Chang'an, someone will make arrangements for you."

"You won't go back?" The Queen of Heaven asked curiously.

"Go back, in a few days." Li Hong glanced at her and said, "Did you keep going to Chang'an to study these days? It doesn't mean that the other students from the Wa country have arrived, so you don't want to go. Is it inappropriate to meet them?"

The Queen of Dalai nodded silently. In her opinion, it seemed that the prince did not show enough joy after winning Yangzhou today, as if the whole person seemed a little lonely.

But she did not oppose Li Hong’s proposal, and agreed to follow the lawless return to Chang'an tomorrow. After all, her purpose in coming to Datang, she can’t forget everything to accompany the Prince of Tang, so she went to Chang'an to meet those The Japanese mission to the Tang Dynasty is what she must do now.

On the second day, Lawlessness took three coffins and set off from Yangzhou Port by water to Chang'an. As for how to report the deaths of King Cao, King Yue and King Langya after returning, Li Hong has already written a detail The memorial for them was brought to them.

Similarly, at the very first time, I have already used pigeons to go to Chang'an for the first memorial.

The death of the three royal clan members, even if not in Li Hong's hands, whether facing the court or the father, Li Hong has an inescapable responsibility.

What's more, the three of them really died in their own hands. They ordered the execution. Although they blamed Li Jingye, how many people would believe that after arriving in Chang'an? Will the father believe it? This is what Li Hong wants to worry about.

This is not comparable to other courtiers in the court. He can be dismissed and executed at will. This is the royal clan, two people of the same generation as his father, who were beheaded and died in a different place. This is not something that can be easily exposed. .

Father emperor imitated the first emperor, always wishing that he was a benevolent and tolerant monarch, and he did it over the years, but if the death of the three of Cao Wang and the three of them violated Li Zhi’s bottom line, Li Hong would also eat Can't make fun of it.

So, for the sake of safety, and also because Yangzhou needs him to stabilize the order, he had to delay his return to Chang'an carefully, so he had to transport the bodies of Wang Cao and others back to Chang'an first. Test the attitude of the father.

On the third day, officials from Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​Yushitai, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, after two days and two nights of busy work, finally drafted a list of officials in Yangzhou City’s Yamen who were temporarily serving as governors.

On the fourth day, the three provinces of Shangshu Province, Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province were recognized and approved. After being supervised by Yushitai, they were handed over to the staff to issue a transfer order, which was replaced by Yangzhou officials.

Unsurprisingly, the best candidate for Yangzhou governor is the son of Huaian King Li Shentong, Wu Guogong Li Xiaoyi.

And this was naturally the best candidate in Li Hong’s mind. So after the Yangzhou affairs were over, the officials from Zhongshu, the Clan, the staff, and the Yushitai began to go to Kuozhou, where Li Chongyi and Li Shangjin also controlled Later, they are required to appoint and remove officials.

Li Hong's waiting in Yangzhou these few days has finally received news. Not only the letters from Xiaoxue and the others, but also from the father, the mother, the queen, and the sixth oldest Li Xian.

"Now Lawlessness has not returned to Chang'an, so the death of King Cao and others, the father does not know for the time being. You said that if the father saw the corpses of King Cao and others, he would still be so happy with me. Talking?" Li Hong's brows curled up.

He suspects that this is the heart of the sixth son Li Xian, but Li Xian can now get what happened in Yangzhou five days ago? Does he have such a fast source of news?

The answer is obviously impossible, so only one problem can be explained. This matter was planned in the morning.

But it is also true. A prince’s big marriage needs to be planned for more than half a year anyway, so the father and the queen agree to the sixth marriage in front of them. Is there any other meaning?

"The happy event of King Pei's wedding, it seems that your majesty and the queen are very happy." Bai Chun put down the letter in his hand and wrinkled his forehead like white jade.

"Yes, it is estimated that the royal clan is concentrated in Chang'an now, or is on the way to Chang'an." Li Hong said with a wry smile, the other royal clan families are all big living people running to Chang'an and give The father sent three dead princes? This... the result is hard to guess.

"Would you like to send a letter to the queen? Maybe the situation will be better?" Bai Chun hugged Li Hong tightly, and said with some worry.

"I have written to the letter. I am afraid that if something happens along the way, let Costin take the secret letter. In this way, only the mother and queen can see it, and he dare not show it to the father. "Li Hong rubbed his aching temples, and said dejectedly.

Bai Chun lay in Li Hong’s arms, showing a thoughtful look, and suddenly said: "Last time you said, if King Cao and the others succeeded in Yangzhou City, what would King Pei do? So isn’t it King Pei's wedding was when King Cao and the others succeeded. King Pei responded to them in Chang'an. In this way, would King Pei increase his bargaining chip for the crown prince?"

Hearing Bai Chun's words, Li Hong instantly fell into deep thought. Yeah, otherwise, why is the sixth child suddenly anxious about getting married?

When I was in Chang'an, I never heard him talk about it, nor did my father and mother think about it.

Now, during the time he was not in Chang'an, why did he suddenly remember the marriage, or while he was not in Chang'an, is it true that Li Xian did this to increase himself? A bargaining chip for the crown prince?

The father and the empress agreed with the mother in their absence. Why?

When Li Hong thought about it, he ignored one of his own things. After Hangzhou Yang Jikang was arrested by him, Yang Zhirou, another servant of the staff, and Yang Sijian have now been taken by Dali Temple and Yushi Taiwan joint investigation.

As the prospective princess Yang Yu designated by Wu Mei, Yang Sijian was no longer the candidate for the princess in Wu Mei's mind because Yang Sijian was involved in the affairs of the staff minister Yang Zhirou. This made Wu Mei fall into choosing the princess for Li Hong. I'm having a headache.

Although there is a Pei Wanying who is in love with Li Hong, she can be regarded as the best candidate for the princess, and Wu Mei has been summoned several times. For Wu Mei, all aspects meet the conditions of the princess.

But Pei Xingjian’s father, Pei Xingjian, is now an extremely human minister. If his daughter becomes a princess again, will it cause Pei Xingjian’s power to be invaded after Li Hong becomes the throne in the future?

So when Li Xian mentioned his marriage, Wu Mei and Li Zhi had no choice but to help Li Xian to get married first~IndoMTL.com~not to mention it. There is another factor that makes Li Zhi and Wu Mei have to agree, that is, Li Xian's prospective princess Fang Muqing is now a "golden girl" who is pregnant for three months. If you don't marry, the child will be born.

Li Hong, who is puzzled, no matter what, at least he confirmed one thing, and that is the marriage of the sixth child. It is by no means a pure royal wedding event, it is completely premeditated and purposeful. Royal wedding.

"Leaving tomorrow, rush back to Chang'an." Li Hong thought for a while and said.

No matter what, it is impossible to control all the situation of Chang'an in Yangzhou now, Jing Wei has also withdrawn, and now he and Bai Chun, Mang and Cheetah, and Wei Tuqi are left alone. Two hundred guards in here.

So it is extremely convenient to go back lightly, and it takes only half a month to reach Luoyang by water.

Bai Chun lay down in Li Hong's arms and nodded silently. When Li Hong decided to go back, she was still reluctant to bear it.

In this period of time, the prince belongs to her completely, and although she has experienced many things that make her have nightmares, every time she wakes up from a nightmare, there is someone beside her who can give her a sense of security at any time. The chest, as her warm harbor, allows her to wander comfortably and at ease.

Even though I was mentally prepared, after hearing the prince's decision, I still felt a little disappointed and empty.

Then he tightened his arms around the prince, Bai Chun's beautiful eyes, a string of crystal clear tears fell instantly, and he answered with a vague hum.

On the second day, at the Yangzhou Wharf where the sun had just risen, Li Xiaoyi looked at the crown prince holding the tall figure of Bai Chun, with two hundred guards, and slowly walked towards the five-tooth battleship.
