Chapter 953 Return to Jingyang

Sitting down beside Li Shimin, Empress Changsun said, "You don't know your own daughter? Do you think Lizhi has no plans?"

Li Shimin took a sip of wine and felt a lot more confused. "I still remember that Li Zheng refused his concubine, but instead threw the affairs of his concubine to Lizhi and asked her to make decisions."

Queen Changsun nodded and said, "Lizhi also has two women around her. Is your daughter not very prepared?"

Li Shimin was silent for a while and thought about Empress Changsun's words, thinking that what he said was right, the beauty of the present is not the beauty of the past.

Now that Li Zhi controls the entire Jingyang business, Li Mengchang introduced to Li Zheng that Li Xun is indeed a beauty.

Li Zheng is not a good woman.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt much more relieved.

After the meal, Li Shimin lost such concerns and then dealt with the memorial.

Half a month after Li Meng met Li Zheng, the people sent by the court to Zhao County to investigate the case also met Duan Lun.

Duan Lun looked at the officials in front of him and handed over all the evidence collected over the past few days to the officials of Dali Temple.

"Let's leave the next thing to us? You two have worked hard for a year and it's time to go back and get the reward."

Dai Xing, who spoke, was the nephew of the previous Dali Temple Minister.

Seeing these officials busy, Shangguan Yi was still a little worried and whispered: "Brother Duan, can these people trust me?"

Duan Lun packed his bags and was ready to go back to Chang'an. He said to Shangguan Yi: "Jiangzhong will leave the next thing to the court. We can't interfere anymore. From the beginning, the one who wants to deal with the five surnames was His Majesty. At this point, Li Zheng's work has been done, and our work has been done."

He stood up and said to Shangguan Yi, "As for what the court wants to do, it is Your Majesty's business and has nothing to do with us."

Shangguan Yi nodded after hearing this and didn't say anything more.

Three days later, Shangguan Yi and Duan Lun walked all the way back to Chang'an with the inspectors and soldiers.

As soon as I walked out a few miles, a few angry men came up to curse.

An egg hit Duan Lun's face.

Duan Lun stopped the officers and soldiers who were about to come forward to arrest people and said, "Let's go, don't worry about them."

Seeing Duan Lun wiping the egg liquid on his face in a mess, Shangguan Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Look, we have done so much, and scholars don't thank us at all."

Duan Lun turned over and said, "We don't need their gratitude."

Shangguan Yi sighed and said slowly: "The future era will be better for scholars, but scholars will hate us to the core and even scold us in history. The infamy in history will definitely be very unpleasant."

The patrol team was still walking slowly. After walking for half a month, they arrived in Luoyang, and there was no good expression in Luoyang.

Even the Luoyang station was unwilling to entertain patrol officers and soldiers.

Everyone had to camp in the wild.

Shangguan Yi looked at the burning bonfire, "You said we were waiting for us in the court to reward or punishment."

Duan Lun was silent and did not answer.

The team marched for another month and finally arrived at Chang'an.

It was already evening when I walked on the official road, and I could still go to Chang'an in one day. Duan Lun asked the team to stop and rest and enter Chang'an tomorrow.

Eating the dry food on his hands, Shangguan Yi looked at a village in the distance, which was quite quiet.

The population is not despised by many, only one or two hundred households.

While eating, Duan Lun saw a figure walking towards here.

The other party did not hold a torch either, it should be a nearby villager.

Shangguan Yi didn't care either.

The team sat lazily around the bonfire, and I felt like I was always up and down along the way.

Who knows what is waiting for me when I arrive in Chang'an.

Finally, the figure came closer. Shangguan Yi finally saw the person coming through the moonlight, and he didn't recognize him for a while.

Daniu smiled and said, "Brother Shangguan, don't you know me anymore?"

Hearing this voice, Shangguan Yi suddenly stood up and looked at the person in front of him and said, "Are you a big bull?"

The big bull nodded and said, "I haven't seen each other for two years."

Shangguan Yi looked him up and down and said, "You have grown so tall?"

Daniu said: "I have indeed grown a lot in the past two years and I only returned from the Western Regions a month ago."

Shangguan Yi said again: "Have you blocked the cannibalism?"

He nodded and said, "It's a bit dangerous, and finally it's successful."

Shangguan Yi nodded with confidence, "It's good to be safe and sound."

Daniu looked at the team in front of him and said, "The teacher asked me to pick you up, and you can go back to Jingyang now."

Shangguan Yi looked at Daniu, "Don't you have to meet Your Majesty?"

"After meeting Your Majesty, let's talk about it. Now there are many children of five surnames in Chang'an who criticize you. Thousands of children of aristocratic families who come to Chang'an from the five surnames are scolding you every day. The atmosphere in Chang'an is very bad. If you enter Chang'an City at this time, the scene will be out of control."

After hearing his words, Shangguan Yi kept nodding, "You made sense."

Seeing Shangguan Yi talking to others, Duan Lun also came over.

Duan Lun knew about the big bull, but he didn't know him.

But every time Duan Lun went to Jingyang, he felt distressed.

Shangguan Yi said again: "Brother Duan, let's go to Jingyang first."

Duan Lun glanced at Daniu and nodded in agreement.

After hearing Daniu explain the current situation in Chang'an, Duan Lun is indeed unwilling to enter Chang'an City at this time.

The two left the team with Daniu.

They waited until dawn the next day, and they did not wait until the two of them came back.

The inspector left, and the inspection team stood here for a moment at a loss.

When Wang Ding brought people to welcome the inspection team, he found that Shangguan Yi and Duan Lun were all gone.

I heard from the people in the team that they left with someone and did not return overnight.

Wang Ding asked someone to search nearby, but he couldn't find where the person was.

I had to take this team back to Chang'an first.

Jingyang

Duan Lun and Shangguan Yi rested for a night and began to eat voraciously.

Shangguan Yi stopped eating after he was full.

Duan Lun was still gnawing a chicken leg.

Li Zheng looked at Duan Lun who was still eating and said, "Eat slowly, it's not your last meal."

Duan Lun took a sip of soup and breathed comfortably, "Chang'an Order, you don't know that we really can't eat well and sleep well in the territory of the five surnames."

Li Zheng patted Duan Lun's back and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

As he spoke, Duan Lun choked up and looked at Li Zheng and said, "Will Your Majesty come to Jingyang to capture us two?"

Li Zheng thought about it and said, "It shouldn't be."

Duan Lun asked again: "Then Chang'an Order won't beat me up now."

Li Zheng touched the stubble on his chin and said, "This is really hard to say."
