People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 731 Return to Chang'an

Some of them are new species, and many of them were planted a long time ago and have now grown. From a distance, it looks like there is a green barrier in the northwest of Jingyang. The wind and sand are blocked by this barrier. There are also some children Playing around in the woods.

Having experienced the cruelty of the Western Regions, Li Ke looked at those carefree children, and everyone felt in his heart that it is really good to be able to live in Guanzhong.

I have looked at this kind of scenery a few more times. I have been in the Western Regions and Tubo all the time. What I saw was either the wasteland or the Gobi that can be seen at a glance.

Slowing down his walking speed, Li Ke really wanted to take another look.

Although it is the middle of winter, Guanzhong is always full of vitality.

He still had to report to his father first, and when he came all the way outside Chang'an City, he saw Li Chongyi waiting at the gate of the city.

Looking at Li Ke who hadn't seen him for a long time, Li Ke looked quite embarrassed now, "His Royal Highness, you are dark and thin."

Li Ke got off his horse and said, "I'm coming to report to my father."

Looking at Li Ke now, Li Chongyi always felt that there seemed to be something more about him.

Can't say what it is.

Standing in the cold wind, Li Chongyi closed his clothes and said, "His Royal Highness, please, Your Majesty is already waiting in the palace."

Only then did Li Ke nod his head, and let the members of the Jingyang guard go back to the village first, and escorted King Gaochang all the way into Chang'an City.

It has been more than half a year since I went out, and it seems that there is not much change when I return to Chang'an.

Walking on Suzaku Street, the place is still as lively as ever.

King Gaochang looked a little resigned, and he didn't seem to be too unwilling.

To him, losing to Datang and losing Gao Changguo didn't seem to be such a shameful thing.

When he came to Chengtian Gate, Li Ke saw Wang Ding.

Wang Ding bowed and said, "This old servant has seen His Highness the King of Shu."

Li Ke nodded, "Are you going to pick me up to see my father?"

Wang Ding said again: "Your Majesty already knows everything, and is waiting in the Ganlu Hall."

Li Ke escorted King Gaochang to enter Chengtian Gate, but Wang Ding stopped him and said, "His Royal Highness Shu, leave it to the old slave. Your Majesty is not in the mood to see him now."

After seeing King Gaochang for a day, Li Ke threw him down and walked into the palace gate.

King Gaochang looked at Wang Ding's sinister smile, and couldn't help but stand on end with hairs all over his body.

I don't know where Wang Ding is going to take King Gaochang. Since the man has already brought him, the matter will be left to the emperor to arrange.

Li Ke was walking in the familiar palace, and when he passed by Menxia Province, he noticed that there were many officials pointing at him.

When passing by Zhongshu Province, I saw many officials dodging themselves.

The atmosphere in the court is very strange.

Li Ke walked to Chengtian Gate and said to the eunuch, "I'm here to see Father."

"His Royal Highness, please come in, His Majesty is in the hall."

Li Ke walked into the Ganlu Hall in response, and saluted Li Shimin when he saw Li Shimin, "I pay homage to my father."

"Ah."

Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial, without raising his head.

Kneeling on the ground on one knee, Li Ke didn't know what to say.

After a while, Li Shimin put the memorial aside, looked at Li Ke and said, "You've lost weight even when you're dark."

Li Ke also looked up at his father, and found that his father was wearing the glasses that Daniel had mentioned.

Li Shimin took off his glasses and said, "This thing was made by Li Zheng, it's very useful."

Li Ke said: "I have heard from Li Zheng's disciples."

Li Shimin stood up and walked in front of Li Ke, helping him up, "You must have suffered a lot."

Li Ke shook his head, "It's not bitter."

Patting Li Ke on the shoulder, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Bitterness is bitterness. I know it's not easy for you. You wiped out so many Western Turkic tribes in Tubo, and won not only Xizhou in the Western Regions, but also Gaochang. You Your achievements have exceeded everyone's expectations, I said a few months ago that I would send troops when the time came, but now you have done everything you should do, and you have done it very well, which makes me a little embarrassed."

Li Ke was speechless for a moment.

Back then, the court had been arguing endlessly over the matter of marching against Tubo, and therefore the emperor had compromised and would not send troops for the time being.

Now that Xizhou and Gaochang have been captured, from the Hexi Corridor to Gaochang, Datang can continue this road to the hinterland of the Western Regions, thereby suppressing Tubo from top to bottom.

But how could the situation in the court be so smooth.

As Daniel said, the court is more complicated than I thought.

Li Ke bowed and said: "Father, my son has rushed in, you shouldn't do this, you should go back to Guanzhong earlier."

"It's okay." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Whether it's the Western Regions or Tubo, it's a matter of time. I naturally have considerations in my heart. You have done a good job, so don't care about so many people's gossip. Just come back."

After speaking, Li Shimin nodded again, as if confirming something, repeated: "Just come back, go see your concubine mother."

Li Ke bowed and said, "Father, what other orders do you have?"

Li Shimin sat down again and planned to continue to review the memorial, "I don't have any instructions, take a good rest during this time, and step back."

Li Ke saluted again: "Here!"

Walking out of the Ganlu Hall, Li Ke had mixed feelings in his heart, and it seemed that he didn't have the ones he had expected.

He walked quickly to his mother and concubine's bedroom.

Concubine Yang was also very happy to see her son come back.

Let his mother and concubine look at him.

Concubine Yang couldn't stop nodding and said, "It's good to be back, but I'm getting thinner and darker. I've prepared meals. Are you hungry?"

Li Ke nodded.

In the bedroom of his mother and concubine, Li Ke wolfed down the food made by his mother and concubine, bowl after bowl of millet and rice.

I didn't stop until I couldn't eat anymore.

Concubine Yang said in a low voice: "You must not care about the affairs of the court recently, and you must not pay attention to them. No matter what they say, you must not care about it."

Although Li Ke didn't know what happened, he kept nodding, swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Mother, I want to see Li Zheng."

Concubine Yang nodded and said, "I should go and see Li Zheng, let's go."

"Retire, child."

Li Ke stood up and left, walking all the way out of the palace, once again confirming his thoughts, something must have happened in Chang'an.

The emperor was evasive, and the concubine mother warned.

All the way out of Chang'an City, came to Jingyang.

Jingyang is like a paradise, no matter how complicated the outside world is, Jingyang is always so peaceful.

Xue Rengui greeted him personally outside the village, "His Royal Highness, long time no see."

Seeing Xue Rengui, Li Ke seemed to have let go of the burden in his heart, and finally smiled comfortably: "The Western Regions have suffered enough for half a year. When I see Li Zheng, you and I must have a good drink."

Xue Rengui also smiled and said, "Okay, I also want to hear about His Highness the King of Shu's experiences in the Western Regions."

After speaking, Li Ke walked into the village, greeted the villagers along the way, and followed Xue Rengui to the river in Jingyang.

I saw Li Zheng, Li Tai, and Cheng Chumo playing cards.

Before he got close, he heard Li Zheng's voice.

"Fried! I'm done, the fat man will give me money!"
