Chang'an is good

Li Suining gently hugged Duan Zhenyi and whispered to her, "Don't be afraid, I'm back."

Hearing the words "Don't be afraid", Duan Zhenyi cried even louder, literally venting her emotions. She hugged Li Suining tightly, sticking to him like a plaster.

Duke Zheng had a hard time tearing his wife away from the Crown Princess.

After all, the Crown Princess doesn't belong to her alone, so many people are waiting for her.

Duke Zheng took his crying wife aside and comforted her patiently. Although he was patient, his comfort was not at all on point. But it didn't matter. After all, Duan Zhenyi didn't listen to a word she said. She just wiped her tears, which came faster than rain and soon soaked the entire handkerchief.

Wei Miaoqing just took out her handkerchief and was about to hand it to her father, but she saw the young man next to her lowering his head in silence, tears also falling from his eyes.

Li Zhi had been very frightened and worried these days. Now that his worry was suddenly relieved, he couldn't help but have the urge to kowtow to his imperial sister, but he was afraid of being noticed and becoming the focus, so after thinking it over, he decided to kowtow in private.

Wei Miaoqing had no choice but to stuff her handkerchief into Li Zhi's hand and ask for Yao Xia's handkerchief to wipe her mother's tears.

Many of those present couldn't help crying.

The crowd surrounded the woman in black and held umbrellas over her head, one of which belonged to Wu Chunbai.

She looked at Li Suining with red eyes, almost eagerly, and asked with a trembling voice: "...Did Your Highness get hurt in Bei Di Ke?"

The turmoil in the capital left an indelible scar in Wu Chunbai's heart. From then on, whenever she heard or thought of the word "war", she couldn't help but tremble, let alone a war in which an army was alone deep into the northern barbarians... She couldn't imagine what kind of purgatory that was.

At this moment, Wu Chunbai looked at Li Suining who had walked out of purgatory in front of him. In addition to being relieved, he felt an indescribable sense of relief.

This incomparable feeling of joy came from the fact that the Crown Princess killed the war, killed the war that she hated and feared, which was her true and eternal enemy.

There was a slight tremor in Wu Chunbai's voice, his eyelashes were shaking, and his hands holding the umbrella were shaking. It was no longer because of fear, but because of a sense of pleasure.

Facing this trembling question, Li Suining smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, everything has been healed."

Then, Li Suining met the countless gazes that converged on him, raised his hand solemnly, and saluted them: "I have been away for a year, and I am deeply grateful for your concern for me. I am grateful for your management of the overall situation."

Everyone returned the greeting, with sounds of sobbing, choking, rejoicing, and sighing rising and falling with the increasingly heavy rain.

"Your Highness, please go back to the city first." Yao Yi turned sideways and raised his hand to invite him: "I have prepared a carriage for your Highness."

"It's not suitable to talk here in the wind and rain, Your Highness, please get in the carriage quickly..."

Li Suining agreed and walked towards the carriage surrounded by the crowd. There were people all around her, with umbrellas over their heads. People blocked the wind and umbrellas blocked the rain. It was a hustle and bustle, and no wind or rain could attack her anymore.

The storms in everyone's hearts also stopped, and the wind and rain around them became pleasant. The spring rain nourishes all things, and all things are looking forward to the spring, and they are also waiting for life.

Their lives, dignity, future, and ambition all depended on that woman. If she came back, everything would be back.

They can live on and live with dignity, realize their unfulfilled ambitions, and get true justice!

The spring rain was cold, but a fire of spring was burning in everyone's hearts, burning their tears.

When Li Suining stepped onto the carriage, he said, "Uncle, Prime Minister Wei, please get in the carriage and go with me."

Wei Shuyi and Yao Yi bowed and responded, then got on the carriage one after another.

It was already dark, and the interior of the car was dim. After Wei Shuyi sat down, he raised his hand to light the candle, while Yao Yi poured a bowl of warm tea for Li Suining and handed it to him: "You have come all the way back quickly, have a cup of tea first."

The candlelight lit up, revealing a hint of smile and tears in Yao Yi's eyes.

Li Suining took the tea bowl with both hands and said, "I'm sorry that my cousin has been worried these days."

Yao Yi sighed and shook his head: "Just come back safely."

During the past few months in Luoyang, Yao Yi had joked with Wei Shuyi, telling him not to worry, because when it came to stance and reckoning, it would be his cousin who would die first in the future.

After all, when the princess returned to her clan in Taiyuan, his identity as the princess's cousin was already firmly established. If Prince Rong wanted to settle accounts with her later, he would have to be the one to lead the way on the road to the underworld.

When the two of them were drinking together, Wei Shuyi asked Yao Yi: [Does Yao Tingwei regret it? ]

Yao Yi shook his head slowly.

If that child was an ordinary child, he would regret it.

He regretted looking for her, regretted asking her to return to her roots, and regretted ruining the future of the entire Yao family because of it.

But that child was unusual.

Having come all the way here, even if we fail, I will feel very disappointed but I will have no regrets.

If you feel regretful after following such a person, then there is probably no one or anything in this world that you can live with without regrets.

After Yao Yi answered, he asked Wei Shuyi: [What about Wei Xiang? Do you regret it?]

At that time, Wei Shuyi looked at the wine cup in his hand and nodded: [I regret it very much.]

He regretted that he realized it too late and followed it too late.

He thought that if she really couldn't come back, this regret would become a regret, and such a heavy regret would be enough to make an ordinary person like him suffer and be depressed for the rest of his life.

He believed that this was true for him and for many others as well.

Now that she was back, he could quietly light a lamp for her, and this trivial thing became a blessing and a relief.

Needless to say, everything became brighter with this lamp, but he was not the real lamplighter.

The "lamplighter" in his eyes put down the tea bowl and asked him directly in the moving carriage: "What does the Grand Tutor want to do? Please tell me the truth, Prime Minister Wei."

Wei Shuyi looked at the person in front of him. Her cloak was still wet with rain and the fine hair on her forehead glowed with a warm yellow light, clearly reflecting the solemnity and anxiety in her eyes.

With just one glance, Wei Shuyi knew what decision she would make next.

She did not hide her anxiety. As someone who had just returned from a great victory, she did not mention a word about her hardships and glory. She only focused her attention here. This was the real reason why she rushed back.

The road was muddy on rainy days, the car was slightly bumpy, and the lights were shaking from time to time.

Wei Shuyi's voice was clear, word by word, without any fluctuation as he described the entire plan that was in charge of the Grand Tutor.

After hearing this, Li Suining's eyes calmed down and he asked, "Did the teacher leave any words for me?"

Wei Shuyi: "The Grand Tutor said that if Your Highness returns early, do not act hastily. Just stay in Luoyang and wait for the opportunity to come to the capital in a legitimate and safe manner."

Li Suining clenched his fingers slightly, raised his eyes and asked, "What if I don't listen?"

"The Grand Master said..." Wei Shuyi smiled complicatedly and recounted the story truthfully: "Those who have escaped death and risk their lives again are truly fools and unworthy of being Chu Shiqing's students."

Li Suining was silent for a moment before he said, "I knew it."

"But has he ever listened to me? When I left, I told him to stay in Taiyuan and wait for me to come back, but where did he go? Is he worthy of being a teacher if he goes back on his word?" Her voice was not loud, and there were not many emotional ups and downs, but it inexplicably made people feel dissatisfied and aggrieved, as well as a hint of uneasiness that was hardly noticeable.

"I want to go to the capital." She said without hesitation, "I will leave tonight."

At this time, there were still six days left before Li Yin's coronation ceremony.

Yao Yi hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Your Highness..."

"If I had never come back, then forget it." Li Suining said, "Now that I have come back, if I just stand away from them and let the teachers bleed for me, then what difference does it make whether I come back or not?"

"I will stay in Luoyang and wait for the news of my teacher's success. Then I can go to Beijing legitimately. In this case, what will I do?" She asked, "Clean, calm and decent, safe and secure?"

She replied: "No."

"To sit back and enjoy the fruits of one's labor will only make me feel incompetent and cowardly, and ashamed for the rest of my life."

"Uncle, please let me go." She said, "I will fight my way through mountains of swords and seas of blood. I will fight wherever I am killed. At least let me do my best."

When meeting those eyes, Yao Yi realized clearly that she didn't want to learn the so-called art of hiding behind others as an emperor.

At this moment, Yao Yi couldn't tell whether he was more worried or more touched.

She is very much like her ancestor, Emperor Taizong.

There was no need for Emperor Taizong to do the coup himself. There were many people who were willing to bear the infamy and die for him, but he still chose to do it himself.

These two things may not be very comparable. Yao Yi was just thinking, when he tried to persuade her with the "conventional" imperial skills, should he also take into account that not everyone is willing to accept that set of rules, nor does everyone need to accept it?

Strong and respected people always have their own rules of conduct, and others cannot hinder them.

Yao Yi touched the silence, and Wei Shuyi spoke: "I will return to the capital with Your Highness."

He knew the plans of each place in the most detail, and with him by his side, Li Suining was able to respond better.

Yao Yi sighed lightly and stopped trying to persuade him. After compromising, he said, "Go back first and sleep for three hours."

Wei Shuyi followed up, "We also need to prepare for the departure. Your Highness has traveled a long distance, so you must rest for a night. These matters will be arranged by Yao Tingwei and me."

Along the way, Yao Yi's mood was shaken by the bumpy carriage, and his eyes had turned red without him noticing.

Looking through history books, most of the heroic deeds that sound grand are actually filled with experiences of endurance and depression.

But he couldn't ask her to follow the majority just for the sake of safety.

Throughout her journey, has her experience ever overlapped with that of most people?

Her appearance was unusual. How could someone who could come back from such a desperate situation as Beidi be trapped in a gorgeous and stable cage?

In that case, let her be, let her do her best, let her come forward to seek justice, and let her save those who want to seek justice for the world.

He was in Luoyang, waiting for her last letter of good news!
During the Qingming Festival, thunder rolls in, and every time lightning tears through the night sky, everything in the world blown by the wind seems to be trembling.

The wet spring rain did not slow down the preparations for the coronation ceremony in various places in the capital.

In order to cooperate with various affairs, Li Yin, who was shouldering the important responsibility of supervising the country, moved into the palace a month ago at the advice of all officials.

Several halls have been renovated, and there are no traces of the empress left in the Ganlu Hall. Instead, it has been rearranged according to Li Yin's habits and feng shui principles.

At this moment, on a row of sandalwood racks in the hall, newly made dragon robes were hung in order, from the imperial robes to the court robes and then to the daily robes. Although they were made in different styles, the base color of the same robe was the precious bright gold thread, the color of the emperor.

Behind the sandalwood frame, Li Yin stood in front of the window, quietly watching the rain gradually disappearing outside the window.

He will soon officially become the master of the Li dynasty.

But at this moment, the "Crown Princess" suddenly came back.

She actually escaped from Beidi and won. What was even more incredible was that she won so quickly and easily, and even preserved the combat effectiveness of the Northern Border and Xuan Ce's army.

Then, he got news again that the Tubo army failed to stop her and she went to Luoyang...

But the Tibetan army was not completely useless. At least it temporarily tied up Cui Jing's troops.

At this moment, according to calculations, Li Suining is about to arrive in Luoyang.

She traveled unusually fast, but the war in the north was chaotic, and the news of her great victory had not yet spread to the south on a large scale.

However, even so, in recent days, some "rumors" have been approaching the capital. His people have already responded to this. At the same time, the news that the princess has died has also spread. Amid the confusion, no one could tell the truth from the false.

At the same time, he had people strictly block the information channels in various provinces in Gyeonggi Province.

This is not a long-term plan, but it doesn't need to be a long-term plan. All we need to do is make sure nothing goes wrong before the coronation ceremony is completed.

At this critical moment, there was no room for anyone to waver in their morale. As early as ten days ago, he had ordered people to keep a close eye on the officials headed by Master Chu day and night to ensure that they would not have the chance to come into contact with suspicious people or hear voices that they should not hear.

The capital has been under full martial law and the coronation ceremony is imminent, so this move is understandable.

Outside the capital, rumors suddenly arose that "the remnants of Bian's army were causing chaos," which was also at his instigation.

This can be a good cover to label all those who need to be "suppressed" as remnants of the Bian army.

In addition to the troops that had already been dispatched to quell the riot, he also mobilized troops from Qianzhong Road. Calculating the time it took for the express horse to deliver the letter, Qianzhong Road Jiedushi She Kui should have led his troops halfway - Qianzhong Road had already prepared to mobilize troops, and even if there was no news of Li Suining's return, he would always have to guard against Chang Kuo of Huainan Road.

The troops in Shannan West Road cannot move without authorization. They need to be on guard against the possibility that Tubo will not be satisfied with the northern border and will covet the capital. Therefore, the northwest needs to be heavily guarded.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to mobilize the troops from Qianzhong Road to the north. Qianzhong can go all the way north to Shannan East Road. At that time, it will be like a wall standing in the south of the capital, blocking the crisis and all news from Huainan Road and Luoyang, ensuring the stability of the capital and the coronation ceremony will not be disrupted.

As for Xiao Min of Lingnan, he had already expressed his intention to surrender as early as the news of his imminent enthronement spread. Regardless of how true or false it is, he is being controlled now, and a detailed settlement will be made after the coronation ceremony.

Everything is still under control now. He has deployed heavy troops in the south to defend against the "rebellion". As long as Li Suining gets close, he will be regarded as a remnant of the Bian army.

Even if she could mobilize the troops from Henan Province, the troops from Qianzhong Province would arrive soon.

Before the coronation ceremony, she had no chance of getting close to the capital.

And after that, he would be a legitimate emperor listed in the imperial genealogy.

Even if she still has the strength, she lacks this crucial step and it is still unknown who will win or lose.

The four words "still unknown" brought up a layer of sarcasm and rare impatience in Li Yin's eyes.

So, perhaps his ascension to the throne was not the end, but just the beginning of his struggle with her... These troubles and obstacles that kept getting out of control were really endless.

How could it be so difficult to kill a mere girl of flesh and blood?
Li Yin quietly stroked his finger ring to calm his mind, until a palace maid came forward to announce that Luo Guanlin had come to see him. (End of this chapter)
