Li Mi was so distracted that he actually thought of the issue of reviving the Tang Dynasty in the future. Pei Jing found that this person's expression was a little trance, and he thought that he was frightened by the chaos, but he didn't care, so he just walked to the car by bypassing him, opened the curtain of the car, and saw the son of heaven who was still sleeping soundly, which was completely relieved.

After confirming that the Son of Heaven was safe, Pei Jing immediately sent elite heavy soldiers to escort the Son of Heaven to Chang'an overnight. As an attaché of the Son of Heaven, Li Mi also followed the escort team. As for the others, they were not so lucky at all, and the reassembled defeated and remnant soldiers were not allowed to return south to Chang'an, and most of them were placed in Yanzhou, where the young and strong were selected to join the newly established private enterprises, and the old and weak who had been laid off were dismissed on the spot.

As for the general Li Fuguo, when Pei Jing arrived, he had already fled without a trace. In fact, the Hui soldiers who attacked Li Fuguo were less than 3,000 people, and their men and horses were three times that of the other party, and they were beaten so badly that even Pei Jing didn't expect it, so he despised this person more and more.

This time, Pei Jing went north to Shuofang as an envoy to watch the army, nominally watching Jingbian quell the chaos, but in fact he saw the opportunity to meddle in the internal affairs of Huifu. Although the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty was a bit untimely, there were still many internal crises within the Tang Dynasty that needed to be resolved urgently. However, after Qin Jin and Pei Jing discussed for a long time, they still felt that they couldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"General, the remnants of Li Fuguo fled to Yanzhou and Suizhou!"

Tanma's return was very timely, but Pei Jing was full of disdain.

"Send a team of 100 people to monitor at any time, and after the whole army has cleaned up the battlefield, set up camp on the spot, and continue to rush to Shuofang tomorrow!"

If Li Fuguo persists for half an hour longer, he won't have to end up fleeing in a hurry, but these things are already trivial matters for Pei Jing, and getting the Son of Heaven is the unexpected joy of this trip!

Three days later, the Son of Heaven arrived in Chang'an, and there was no huge greeting procession, and even the officials of the government and the opposition did not care much about it. Or is it clear to everyone that the Son of Heaven in the car is no longer what it used to be, even if he returns to Chang'an safely, without the support of his wings, how much splash can a person who can't even take care of his own life make?

The 10,000 forbidden troops led by Li Fuguo were killed by less than 2,000 rebels, and it was already known to everyone in Chang'an as early as a day ago, so it is conceivable who would plunge headlong into Li Heng, a cold stove that was already too cold to be cold?

Moreover, more than seventy percent of the officials in the imperial court were carefully selected by Xia Yuanji to stay, and these people naturally want to be grateful to the backers behind Xia Yuanji, so how could they do the work of digging their own graves? Because of Li Heng's mistake in employing people, the Tang Dynasty suffered an unprecedented humiliation, and Chang'an, as the capital teacher of the Tang Dynasty, fell into the hands of Fan Hu for the first time in more than 100 years since the founding of the country, and the officials were even more disappointed in him.

A simple carriage drove into Xingqing Palace, and even many palace eunuchs in Xingqing Palace did not know that it was Li Heng, the son of the Tang Dynasty, who was carrying it.

When Qin Ji and Miao Jinqing arrived in Chang'an, they were one day later than Li Heng's car. When Miao Jinqing learned that the Son of Heaven had arrived in Chang'an safely, he had been placed in Xingqing Palace at this time, and he had mixed feelings for a while.

But he also immediately realized that there must be something earth-shattering that was not known about it. Among them, at this time, the government and the opposition in Chang'an have been spread in various colors, if you want to distinguish which is true and which is false, it is really not easy. But at least a few facts are certain:

First, the Son of Heaven did arrive in Chang'an safely. Second, Li Fuguo was defeated and fled, and was even wanted by the imperial court for eleven major crimes.

In short, the plan to regain power from the Qin Jin and Shenwu armies through the hands of Li Fuguo had completely failed in the hope that the Son of Heaven would return to Chang'an.

Two days later, the news came that Lingwu had fallen into the hands of the remnants of the Tibetan army, and a large number of officials and their families were slaughtered. After Miao Jinqing learned these news, he felt even more afraid, if he hadn't followed Qin Ji to Chang'an, he might have been more than lucky

After Miao Jinqing returned to Chang'an, he found that his original home had been occupied by other officials, and an official told him that many of the houses had been redistributed to the families of those officials who had suffered in the war under the auspices of Jingzhao Mansion after they were confirmed to be ownerless. Now that Miao Jinqing is back, he can also get corresponding subsidies according to the rank of officials.

Because the fall of Li Fuguo caused a lot of shock to him, when dealing with this series of incidents, he instinctively planned to calm things down, and he didn't even want to fight for those so-called subsidies. However, after Qin Jin heard what happened to Miao Jinqing, he took the initiative to solve the family house problem for him, and personally sent someone to find his lost relatives.

Miao Jinqing's situation is more special, when he escaped from Chang'an, he did not take all his dependents with him, but placed his family in a mountain village on the outskirts of Chang'an, hoping to return to find them after the war subsided. It is precisely because of this that his family did not survive in Lingwu.

Thinking of these, Miao Jinqing couldn't help but rejoice again and again, but he was also worried about whether his family was still in the mountain village. Also, for the reason why Qin Jin treats him preferentially, he is also always waiting for the mystery to be revealed. As a matter of common sense, an enemy henchman like him who loses a political struggle should be severely punished.

In the middle of his worries, Qin Ji came to visit. Qin Ji was quite in agreement with him on the way here, although the two had a huge disparity in status, they did not have any problems in communication.

For example, Qin Ji, even if he is now a Zhonglang general, after all, he was once Qin Jin's domestic slave, and if a high-ranking official in the dynasty associates with his peers, it will be ridiculed. Miao Jinqing does not have this prejudice, but feels that the hero is reckless, as long as he is willing to serve the country, he is worthy of praise and respect.

"Congratulations to Miao Shilang, your family has found it, but it may take some time to escort it back!"

This news can surprise him inexplicably, if the family is really sent back to Chang'an safe and sound, even if he is allowed to die immediately, he is willing. No matter in a strong-willed person, it is inevitable that there will be feelings of licking calves, and parents and children are inseparable bonds in his heart. Miao Jinqing is of course no exception!

But he was not willing to wait in such a daze, and after repeatedly thanking and greeting, he asked bluntly:

"What is the reason why Doctor Qin treats me, a person with different intentions, so much?

Qin Ji was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed:

"Miao Shilang thinks too much, Doctor Qin is eclectic in employing people, and has always only looked at talent, since he is so preferential, he hopes that you can continue to serve the imperial court! ”

This is also somewhat consistent with Miao Jinqing's conjecture, but he is still not at ease, after all, he has participated in the conspiracy against Qin Jin, what if the other party does not know? If he accepts the benefits of the other party in such a vague way, he is afraid that he will not be able to sleep well in the future.

"Let's tell the truth, Miao and Cui Zuocheng once single-handedly concocted a text against Doctor Qin, and they also made a lot of noise in Guanzhong, Doctor Qin, does he know?"

Qin Ji smiled and nodded again:

"I know, of course I know, if I don't know, how can I rest assured that Miao Shilang will be reused?"

"What, what's the point?"

Miao Jinqing became more and more confused, and Qin Ji replied solemnly:

"Since Miao Shilang has the heart to do his best for this court, he should understand that the well-being of the family and the country and the people are inseparable, if he understands this truth, what else is there to worry about?"

Qin Ji's words seemed to mean something, Miao Jinqing was silent for a while, his complexion changed several times, and it took a long time to slam him to the ground.

"If it weren't for Zhonglang to wake up, Miao would be in danger of going to ......"

Qin Ji smiled heartily again, and hurriedly supported Miao Jinqing to prevent him from bowing down.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, this is not what I Qin said, this is Dr. Qin's original words, I just paraphrase, paraphrase it......"

After the two sat down again, Miao Jinqing still felt that his face was hot, and he was ashamed to consider himself an important minister and a famous person, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that. Is this country the world, is it the Son of Heaven alone, or the people of the world?

In the past, Miao Jinqing would not hesitate to choose the former as the standard answer, but after experiencing several catastrophes and disasters, he is no longer so determined. If the former is chosen, the whole world belongs to the Son of Heaven alone, and the implication is that for the sake of this person's world, he can sacrifice all the people in the world, is this what he has pursued all his life?

There was a voice in his heart shouting, this was not what he wanted. After two escapes, I have seen too many life and death partings, father and son separation, relatives forever, and even the desolation after the war. If it is only for the sake of one person's world, and ignores the living beings in the world, what is the meaning of this world?

"Miao plans to visit Dr. Qin, please introduce General Zhonglang on his behalf!"

When Qin Ji heard this, he laughed heartily again.

"I've been waiting for Miao Shilang for a few days, and Doctor Qin made me calm down, only saying that Miao Shilang will bring it up sooner or later......"

Hearing Qin Ji say this, Miao Jinqing couldn't help but be stunned, and sighed sincerely:

"Doctor Qin is like a god, which makes people have to be convinced......"

Qin Ji diverted from the conversation again and went straight to the point.

"Lingwu has fallen, this matter is quite shocking in the government and the opposition, Doctor Qin hopes that Miao Shilang can go with the army, collect the suffering people and officials' families along the way, and once Lingwu is restored, it will stabilize the local people's hearts as soon as possible, and so on, there is no more suitable person than Miao Shilang!"
