Chapter 1426: Tang's Knife
Changan.

Chang'an in spring is a bit more charming. With the danger of war gone, more people go out for spring.

The people can rest, but the officials cannot.

The false emperor Li Bi took away many officials when he fled, so that the Chang'an imperial city was empty.

When Cao Ying took charge of Chang'an, she cut half of her rest and bathing time, wishing to treat the officials as if they were two.

After receiving the news that King Qin had broken through Qinghe and beheaded Shi Zhongtang, Cao Ying was not surprised.

"After Huangzhou's defeat, Shi Zhongtang is a dead bone in the grave!"

Zhang Xu asked: "Your Highness, did you say when you will return to the teacher?"

The current atmosphere in Guanzhong is a bit weird.

The powerful patriarchs of the rich and powerful clans continued to return from the land of Shu. When they came back, they all waited and watched when they learned that Shi Zhong was defeated in the Tang Dynasty.

They are all waiting for King Qin to return to Chang'an.

Cao Ying handed him the news and shook her head, "I didn't mention this matter, but I just ordered Chang'an to send grain and grass south to supply the army."

"Why is Your Highness staying in southern Xinjiang?"

Zhang Xu was a little puzzled.

"I don't know either."

Cao Ying sighed: "I have been sitting in Chang'an for a long time, and I have to stare at those big and powerful families every day, as well as those returning dignitaries and royal families. I am restless. Old man, I am exhausted!"

"But how does the old man feel that you are enjoying it?"

Zhang Xu knew that Cao Ying was very excited when he got the important job. He wished that the king of Qin would ascend the throne immediately, and then he could point out the country and reprimand Fang Qiu.

After reading the news, he frowned and said, "It's been a month since Your Highness breached Qinghe, and the army should have rested, leaving some troops to guard the southern border. Does Nan Zhou still dare to send troops?"

"How dare Nian Xu at this moment." Cao Ying said disdainfully: "At this moment, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty wish that His Highness could leave Southern Xinjiang as soon as possible."

"Do you think His Highness is the God of Plague?"

"When did you learn to be so sharp-tongued?"

The two smiled at each other.

A small official came in, "Mr. Cao, Madam and the others are going to Chang'an soon."

"So fast!" Cao Ying suddenly got up, "Go, go and meet me!"

……

Outside Chang'an City, the convoy stopped.

Zhou Ning got out of the car, took Li Lao Er by the hand, pointed to Chang'an City and said, "Erlang, this is Chang'an City. It is also the place where Niang was born and raised."

Li Er Er looked at Chang'an City, held back for a while, and said, "It's like a pancake!"

Liu Qing and the others were in front of them, also sighing endlessly.

"The last time I participated in the Great Court Meeting that year, when I left, I never expected that I would see Chang'an City after many years. I haven't seen you for many years. I am old, and Chang'an City is still the same."

Luo Cai let out a dry cough. On the way, he caught a cold and fell ill. Zhou Ning took care of him. It lasted for half a month, and he still had some coughing problems.

"Liu Gong, once you enter Chang'an City this time, you will never go back. Do you miss Beijiang?"

Liu Qing narrowed his eyes, "Of course I would, but after all, I stand in Chang'an, so I can assist His Highness and achieve the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

"Someone is here." Luo Cai saw a group of officials coming out of the city.

"Tell your empress that Cao Ying and others are coming to welcome you." Liu Qing tidied up his clothes and laughed at himself, "We meet again after a long time, I hope you won't be laughed at."

What he was talking about was not Chang'an City, but the future.

Once he entered the city, he stood at the height of the temple ever since.

The higher you stand, the stronger the wind.

Zhou Ning got into the carriage with the child.

Immediately, Cao Ying came with the officials.

"Meet Liu Gong!"

People salute.

Then came to the front of the carriage.

"I've seen my lady!"

Zhou Ning's voice came from the carriage, "It's hard work."

"Working for His Highness, don't dare to say bitterness!"

A child's cry of pain came from the carriage, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Cao Ying asked: "I don't know if Mr. Dalang is here? The minister waits to see you."

King Qin is not here, A Liang is his representative.

"A Liang was picked up by His Highness's people halfway to the southern border!"

Ah!
Cao Ying couldn't help being startled.

"This……"

Not only did King Qin not come back, but he also took his eldest son over.

What is he going to do in southern Xinjiang?
Cao Ying blurted out in a flash.

"South Zhou!"

……

God!

Cao Ying covered her forehead, "Your Highness actually..."

Liu Qing smiled and said: "His Royal Highness sent a letter on the way, borrowing the words of the founding emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. On the side of the couch, others are allowed to snore!"

Luo Cai said: "After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was an opportunity to attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but in the end Emperor Gaozu was worried about the invasion of the Northern Liao Dynasty, so he transferred the army back. Since then, the Southern Zhou Dynasty has survived for hundreds of years."

Now, it is the end.

"Guanzhong is not optimistic!"

Cao Ying accompanied them into the city and introduced the current situation.

"It is rumored that the false emperor was very high-profile in Shu. He recruited troops and horses to appease the local nobles, and even recruited a few women from the local nobles..."

Luo Cai coughed dryly, "Is his kidney still usable?"

Cao Ying said, "The puppet emperor plays the piano well."

"By the way, how about that woman?" Liu Qing asked.

"In the palace, he is very law-abiding."

"It's a trouble!" Luo Cai said.

"If His Royal Highness hadn't ordered Liang Jing to accompany him, the old man would have thought..." Murderous intent flashed in Liu Qing's eyes, "Damn, that would be a disaster!"

Cao Ying was stunned, "Grand Liu thought too much, how could His Highness be like this!"

Liu Qing lowered his voice, "Man! Many times I can't control my crotch, and this old man is worried that this will affect His Highness's reputation for a lifetime."

"Liu Lang!"

At this time, a woman's voice came from the side of the road.

When everyone looked around, they saw a middle-aged woman standing beside the carriage, looking at Liu Qing with a smile.

Liu Qing: "..."

……

A Liang's arrival gave rise to all sorts of daydreams.

"Eat fish!"

The father and son were sitting by the river, oil paper was spread on the floor, grilled fish, two bowls of fish soup, a few pancakes and a jug of wine were placed on it.

Li Xuan smiled and took a piece of grilled fish to Ah Liang.

"Aye, you eat." A Liang took the grilled fish back.

The father and son pushed me and Li Xuan finally ate the grilled fish with great comfort.

A Liang drank the fish soup and asked, "Aye has worked so hard, why don't you go back?"

"There is another opponent over there." Li Xuan pointed to Fang Fang.

"Over there..." Ah Liang's education is naturally different from that of ordinary children. He can also freely enter and leave Li Xuan's study room, and he is familiar with the map.

"South Zhou!"

"Yes." Li Xuan took a sip of his drink, looked at his son beside him, and suddenly felt that a man's life was like this.

Marry a wife and have children, watch the children grow up, and then wait to grow old.

It's like a cycle.

He drank the wine slowly, watching his son, who was a little thinner because of the rush, eating non-stop.

The spring was bright and beautiful, and Li Xuan's mind gradually became empty.

A Liang put down his chopsticks when he was [-]% full. This was taught by Zhou Ning, who said it would keep his stomach and intestines safe.

"Aye, don't you eat?"

Li Xuan said with a smile: "Seeing how delicious your food is, I'm not hungry anymore."

Seeing that his wine glass was empty, Ah Liang picked up the jug and poured wine for him.

Li Xuan took a sip and felt that the wine his son poured was particularly delicious, "Did that gentleman of yours teach you about war in the world?"

"Teached."

A Liang sat up straight to show his respect for his husband.

"What did you say? Tell Wei father."

Jiang He'er pursed her lips from behind, thinking that if that old gentleman dared to teach Da Langjun indiscriminately, he would probably be thrown in the old place of Beiliao to teach those savages later.

"When I left the northern border, my master said that people are not as good as dogs in troubled times, and Aye has done a lot of good deeds to protect the safety of the soldiers and civilians in the northern region."

Li Xuanzi let out a sip of the wine.

"Go ahead and listen, Father!"

"Okay." A Liang continued: "After learning that Aye defeated Shi Zhongtang, Mr. said that Tang Guozuo looked in danger, and he was also ready for troubled times. He also said that he thought I would succeed Aye. Ye became a feudal town until a master appeared in the world."

Li Xuan smiled and didn't care about such remarks.

"The master said that Aye turned the tide, and he can be called the master of Zhongxing in the Tang Dynasty. There was also a master of Zhongxing in the former Chen Dynasty. After he ascended the throne, he continued the state of the former Chen for more than a hundred years, but he could not continue the prosperous age after all."

Prosperity?
Li Xuan thought of the former Lord Chen Zhongxing.

"Remember that my father taught you..."

"Yes, I still remember!" A Liang raised his voice, and then lowered his voice embarrassingly, "Aye once said that the so-called master of Zhongxing relied on those powerful landlords for his fortune. The advantage. The disadvantage of the decline of the former Chen Guozuo is the annexation of land, and the rich and powerful will take it by surprise... The master of Zhongxing also knows this truth, but he can't help it."

"Do you know why he can't help himself?"

"If he doesn't pay for the credit, if he suppresses that group, it's ungrateful. Then that group... since they can make the old decline once, they can naturally do it a second time."

"En!" Li Xuan was quite satisfied. "When you look at things, don't look at superficial things. You have to follow the vines and find the root all the way. Being a father and not cooperating with those powerful families is the source of this. This class is greedy like blood-sucking insects. And there is no family, country, and world in their hearts. .”

"so what should I do now?"

"I also want to tell you the answer to this question, but after thinking about it, it would be better for you to watch me fight against those people."

"Oh!" Ah Liang was not disappointed, "Sir also said that it is time for the world to cultivate health and rest. Not to mention laying down swords and guns, but it is also time to reduce conquests."

"That gentleman has knowledge, but he doesn't understand such general trends."

"Mr. said that scholars can know the affairs of the world without going out!"

"Shit!"

Li Xuan said contemptuously in front of his son: "It's all just talking on paper. Ah Liang must remember that the more you like people who talk big, the less you can reuse them. Even if you are talented, you have to leave it behind to sharpen your frivolous temper." Only then can it be used."

It was for this reason that Cao Ying was shelved by Li Xuan for several years.

If he hadn't been an old minister from Long, he would never have the chance to return to Li Xuan's side in this life.

"Oh! I remember." A Liang nodded seriously.

"Are you tired?" Li Xuan touched the top of his head.

"Some, but it's okay." A Liang looked at his deep eyes, thinking of his ability to command tigers and wolves, Li Xuan smiled, "I'm too worried."

Ning Yayun said that Ah Liang's soul is powerful, so it must be more energetic than ordinary people.

This time, Ah Liang didn't bring his two pets, so he missed them a little at the moment.

But seeing his father staring at the river, Ah Liang gave up the idea of ​​getting the two pets.

"A Liang!"

"Hey!"

"Have you experienced the people's sentiments along the way?"

"I've seen it, but Aye..."

"You said."

"On the way, I heard people say that Aye ordered the execution of all those alien races in southern Xinjiang. Didn't Aye say to be merciful? Why is that so?"

"But there is another sentence for father, why did you forget it?" Li Xuan smiled and said, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"

"Is it because of the massacre?"

"Yes, to Weifu, foreign races are also human beings. If they are friendly, then we can be friends." Li Xuan said: "If it wasn't for massacring the city, then Weifu wouldn't be like this. A Liang."

"Hey!"

Seeing his father's seriousness, Ah Liang got up and stood with his hands tied.

People around looked over one after another.

Get up slowly.

King Qin gently pressed his son's shoulder with one hand, pointed to the distance with the other and said:

"Always remember the following words."

Under the spring light, King Qin said:

"Datang's knife does not kill innocent people!"
