Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 371 Leaving Chang’an

"Young Master, Liu Zi takes the first step, and I will never be able to lead the way for you again."

"Take care and don't think about it!"

Fan Xinxin closed the letter and looked at it for a long time, and a drop of hot tears flowed down his cheek.

"You guy, did I let you die?"

Throwing away the oil-paper umbrella, Fan Xin glanced at Qian Niuwei who was kneeling on the ground.

"Come here to serve from now on. With me here, no one in the Tang Dynasty can touch you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, King Yan. I will be willing to do the hard work of a dog and a horse!"

"Okay, let's leave for Youzhou now. I want to see who is so bold."

"Whoever dares to arrest me!"

"Mother Feng, the life of Li Tang's surviving family is life, but the life of my brother is not life?"

Looking at his back, Feng's mother stamped her foot angrily.

"Don't worry, Your Highness the King of Han, I received a reply from my grandson a few days ago."

"After all, King Yan also has a high title..."

"This guy's temper is so bad that he really doesn't care about anything!"

"General Xiaoliu has committed a crime. We will find a solution after he is escorted back to Chang'an."

"Let's make them happy first. It will be useless to wait for the Sixth Son to be captured and awarded no matter how high the title is.

"This investiture ceremony was initiated by the Queen Mother, and I am not particularly clear about it."

In the distance, many ministers also gathered around Fan Jing.

"In your opinion, what kind of title can King Yan get this time?"

Wang An, the Minister of Rites, came over and said hello.

Yuwen Duyan curled his lips and said with a sour look on his face.

"I asked you to send two capable generals to monitor the six sons. Is there any progress?"

"Mr. Di Ge, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, except for a few individuals, no prince has ever been promoted to a title."

She said this, but she felt a sense of pride in her heart.

……

chuckled.

With such a loving and righteous prince, her mother, Feng, would be happy for the rest of her life.

After saying this, he mounted the black wind horse and shook the reins, preparing to run towards the city gate.

Fan Xin shook the reins and rushed over on his black horse. Looking in the direction, he saw that it was Chang'an City Gate.

"But he should be higher than the second-class king."

Fan Jing flicked his sleeves and shifted his gaze to Yuwen Duyan.

"At this time, you must not be impulsive!"

After riding the black wind horse and circling twice, Fan Xin glanced at Feng Ma.

Tai'an Hall, main hall.

"Get out of my way!"

The conversation between the two quickly attracted the attention of the ministers, who all came over.

There is only one reason. The imperial court wants to promote Fan Xin, who has all the power in the world.
"Mr. Di Ge, you haven't been to court for some time. I'm still waiting to hear your teachings."

Di Renjie stroked his beard and said with a smile.

When mentioning this matter, Yuwen Duyan patted his chest and promised.

Faced with everyone's inquiries, Mr. Di Ge hesitated.

Today everyone put on the red-sleeved dress to worship the heaven.

"Yes, as I get older, my body often suffers from minor ailments."

"When the court interrogates, they will be key witnesses."

"No, I heard that the court was going to confer a knighthood on Fan Xin, so I came to court."

"My lord, look at Mr. Di Ge's smile, as if he is the one being promoted."

"Your Majesty, the imperial court's reward ceremony is about to begin. You can't go to Youzhou."

At this time, Feng's mother ran out of the house, stopped in front, and said loudly.

All the officials came here early to stand on duty, which was different from the previous court uniforms.

"drive!"

"The Sixth Son has followed me for more than thirty years and has been through life and death several times. If you can't even save him, why do you think you are his mother?"

"He said in the letter that Liuzi is very greedy. He stole 80,000 taels of silver alone."

"He spends all day eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, and in the name of the governor, he points fingers at local officials all day long, which makes the Youzhou government complain."

"It's a pity that they two eat steamed buns and pickles every day for the great cause of His Highness the King of Han, and even poured ten taels of silver into it."

"Oh, how pitiful."

Speaking of this, Yuwen Duyan wiped his tears, thinking of his precious grandson eating steamed buns with pickles in Youzhou.

He felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, this Sixth Son is too domineering."

"Every time I go out, I must blow the gong to clear the way and make a big fanfare. If I like someone's girl, I will rush in and steal it."

"Because they couldn't stand this kind of evil behavior, they could only shut themselves in the room and couldn't see it."

"I heard that I lost ten pounds in two months."

Fan Jing sighed with emotion when he heard that the two young people were so diligent and hardworking.

"When these two guys came to meet me, I asserted that this son has the appearance of a general. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."

"Forget it, when they come back, let's become governor first."

"Thank you, Your Highness, King Han!"

Yuwen Duyan and other ministers looked at each other with excitement.

Just as the ministers were gathering in twos and threes to talk, the big bell of Tai'an Palace suddenly rang.

Princess Taiping walked onto the Luan Bridge surrounded by her chamberlains and sat down next to the dragon chair.

"I see your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"I see the Queen Mother, long live my queen.

Amidst the roaring mountains and tsunami, Li Lingyue gave him a little help.

"My lords, please make peace."

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

After the ministers stood up, Li Lingyue looked at Wang Anqi, the Minister of Rites.

"Today is the day when the imperial court honors King Yan. How are your rites department's preparations going?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to notify His Highness King Yan. I believe he will be here soon."

Princess Taiping nodded and smiled at the ministers.

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, we have only had one promotion, which is far inferior to that during the Taizong period."

"After much deliberation, I felt it was inappropriate, so I decided to promote Fan Xin to a knighthood for having made great contributions."

"What do you think, sir?"

Princess Taiping was very happy. It can be said that her men played a major role in the Tang Dynasty's ability to survive several tribulations and reach this stage.

So she made an exception and held a grand ceremony for Fan Xin.

It can be regarded as a kind of recognition for him.

Although I had received the news before, I was prepared.

But when it really became a reality, the ministers still felt uncomfortable.

There are not even five first-class kings under the age of thirty, including those from the pre-Tang Dynasty.

Fan Xin was promoted from a county boy to a first-class king in one breath. This speed was unprecedented and unprecedented.

In comparison, these old guys who don't even have titles are as old as dogs.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Fan Xin has made great achievements at a young age, so it is appropriate to be granted a first-class king title."

"The ministers and others unanimously agree."

Di Renjie stood out of the queue and said with a smile.

Li Lingyue laughed and was about to speak when an embarrassed figure ran in from outside the hall.

After whispering something in her ear, Li Lingyue stood up suddenly and couldn't believe it.

"What did you say, he left for Youzhou?"

"Going back to the Queen Mother, King Yan led the eighteen thousand cattle guards directly out of Chang'an an hour ago and headed towards Youzhou!"

The chamberlain knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

quiet!
The hall was deathly quiet, and all the ministers who originally had smiles on their faces froze.

He looked at the waiter in disbelief.

This is a rare grand ceremony in the world. How many people have been seeking an honor that they will never get.

Is Fan Xin just giving up?

"Eunuch Wang, you said that Fan Xin gave up attending the confederation ceremony and ran to Youzhou." "Isn't this impossible?"

Di Renjie still doesn't believe this is true. Even he covets the title of first-class king.

How could Fan Xin give up and not take it? There must be some misunderstanding.

"Yes, Eunuch Wang, you must have read it wrong, right? The Queen Mother conferred the title of Lord in person. This is the first time in our Tang Dynasty."

"It's such a great grace that Fan Xin can't even burst into tears of gratitude."

"Why did you leave Chang'an?"

Like Di Renjie, no one, including Fan Jing and others, believed that Fan Xin would let go of the title.

Going to Youzhou to rescue a dispensable follower is not in line with the common sense of officialdom.

The chamberlain raised his head and smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Pavilion, gentlemen, this was reported by the guard stationed at the north gate of Youzhou. How dare the Za family conceal the report at will."

However, no matter what the chamberlain said, the officials still did not believe that Fan Xin would leave the Tongtian Avenue and go to Youzhou to save some bullshit entourage.

Suddenly, a heavy sigh sounded.

"No need to argue, Fan Xin did go to Youzhou to save people."

As soon as the words came out, the hall fell silent for an instant.

Di Renjie took a step forward and cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, judging from Wei Chen's many years of experience in solving cases, I'm afraid there's something else going on in this matter. How about..."

"No need." Li Lingyue shook her head sadly.

"No one knows him better than me. Since the defenders said he went to Youzhou, he must have gone to Youzhou."

"The Grand Ceremony of the Conferment of Dukes is suspended. Send..."

"Report!"

An urgent message cut through the sky and entered the main hall of Shangtai'an Hall.

Then a dusty defender broke in, knelt on one knee and said.

"Queen Mother! Half an hour ago, the Tanzhou, Yizhou, and Yanzhou armies that were ordered to garrison the camp on the outskirts of Chang'an all set off!"

“Looking in the direction, it’s Youzhou!”

"what!"

"Fan Xin even took away a hundred thousand troops!"

"What is he going to do!"

As soon as the news came out, it was like a huge rock smashing into the water, causing an uproar immediately.

No one expected Fan Xin to be so fierce. In order to save a guard, he led a hundred thousand troops back to Youzhou after a disagreement.

Looking at hundreds of years of history, we can't find anyone like this.

"Rebellion! This guy Fan Xin refused the ceremony of becoming a duke. Don't tell me."

"Now that even the soldiers and horses have been mobilized, who is he going to kill?"

"Other than the intelligence department spy who was ordered to run an errand, who else in Youzhou is worthy of such a big fanfare?"

Censor Sun Wen jumped out, knelt on the ground with a thud, and cried sadly to Li Lingyue.

"Queen Mother, King Yan has become increasingly arrogant and arrogant based on his great achievements. Now he actually leads an army of 100,000 to Youzhou to kill the inner guards!"

"This is a rebellion!"

"Queen Mother!"

"If the laws of the imperial court are useless to this, where is the dignity of the Tang Dynasty?"

"I am willing to die in exchange for sunny days in the Tang Dynasty!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Wen stood up from the ground and rushed towards the pillar.

It looked like he was defending the law with his body, but he slipped on the way and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhong Shan said sarcastically.

"It's a pity that Sun Yushi won't act. It's true that King Yan mobilized 100,000 troops to go to Youzhou."

"But don't forget, he is the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and has overall control over the military and political power of the imperial court."

"After entering Chang'an to quell the rebellion, I was originally going to return to the base."

"And when did people say that they wanted to kill the Intelligence Department and intended to rebel?"

"Didn't you say this yourself?"

Sun Wen......

Seeing the two sides quarreling, Li Lingyue slapped the big case hard and said with a gloomy face.

"Okay, everyone, shut up!"

"Where is Jinwuwei General Zhang Huan?"

"Chen is here!"

A middle-aged man wearing a cloak walked out of the queue.

Li Lingyue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"You immediately lead eight hundred thousand cattle guards to catch up with King Yan and tell him to come back!"

"I accept the decree!"

Zhang Huan cupped his fists and walked out of the hall majestically.

After a while, he led eight hundred cavalry in pursuit towards the north gate of Chang'an.

……

On the official road, a hundred thousand troops rumbled past. Dust was flying and thick smoke was everywhere along the way.

At this time, several scouts riding fast horses with command flags on their backs caught up.

"Report! Report to His Highness King Yan. A group of light cavalry was found in the rear. Visually, the number is less than a thousand!"

"Would you like to intercept or not?"

"Shut up!"

Pulling in the reins, Fan Xin glanced at the scout: What is he wearing?
"Go back to His Majesty King Yan, wearing the official clothes of the imperial court and wearing tiger gold boots."

"Has the Queen Mother sent Jinwu Guards to intercept me?"

Fan Xin sneered and shook the reins: Don't worry about him and continue marching at full speed!
"Yes!"

With an order, the 100,000-strong army thundered again, with an extremely huge momentum.

Half an hour later, the eight hundred Jinwu Guards led by Zhang Huan finally arrived at the front of the army.

"Hello! Your Highness, King Yan, wait a moment, the Queen Mother has a decree!"

Zhang Huan grabbed the reins and spun around twice, sweating profusely and clasping his fists.

"The Queen Mother has an order to order His Royal Highness Prince Yan to turn around immediately and go to the Shangtai'an Palace to attend the honor ceremony. There must be no mistake!"

"Go back and tell the Queen Mother that after this incident, I will apologize to the court!"

"Now please get out of the way!"

After finishing speaking, Fan Xin slowly pulled out the golden dragon sword and pointed it at Zhang Huan.

"Don't force me to take action!"

Zhang Huan is also a cruel person, he closed his eyes and smiled miserably.

"Your Highness, King Yan, may take action, but if the general cannot find you, you will still be punished if you go back."

"It's better to die!"

"Okay, I will grant you my wish!" Fan Xin sneered and winked at Cao Wei and Lin Tie.

The two smiled knowingly and released a dozen spare estrous mares to rush towards Jinwu Guard.

The horses in Jinwuwei were all stallions that had not been exposed to meat for a long time. When they saw a dozen young mares running across from them, they were so excited that they didn't know what to do.

After pawing his hooves twice, he followed the mare and ran away.

No matter how Jin Wuwei beats him, he won't stop.

"Hahaha, this time General Zhang finally found a reason."

"It's a pity that more than a dozen pure sweat-blooded horses are missing."

Lin Tie said with regret.

Fan Xin glanced at him and snorted: After the six sons are rescued, I will ask the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce to send you hundreds of serious prairie horses.

I guarantee that you will not suffer any loss.

Come on, let's continue marching and try to block them in Youzhou before the prison car returns to Chang'an.

I want Xiao Long to know who is the greatest official in the Tang Dynasty!
"drive!"

……

A few days later, in Youzhou, Dalao.

Ever since the Internal Security Intelligence Department took over this place, the prison has always been filled with the strong smell of blood.

Every day, several corpses were taken to the countryside and buried by agents of the Intelligence Department.

"How about it, Liu Zi? At this point, are you still unwilling to confess?"

Xiao Long sat on the chair and said gloomily.
