Early the next morning, there was a guest in Chang'an City, it was Xu Jian, who was transferred from Luoyang, the divine capital, to Chang'an Wannian Lieutenant.

"The king and others returned to Beijing in addition to their uniforms, and there was no shortage of preparations in the city to welcome them, but the case was too complicated, and they only paid their humble posts to come and sue for the crime of being rude."

Xu Jian came to the door to worship, and then said apologetically.

Li Tong just smiled after hearing this: "Since you are in charge of the state office, you will naturally take the lead in state affairs, and there is no need to welcome and send off the noise." The gorgeous clothes are re-emboldened, sad and incomprehensible, love is lazy, and I don't want to chase the noise of human feelings immediately. It's a good thing. ”

Although this is the case, in fact, they both understand in their hearts that after all, it is because the situation is different, so these officials in Chang'an will react so indifferently to the return of the young king to Beijing.

When Li Tong's family newly entered the Guanzhong, it was Ge Fuyuan who served as the left-behind guard in Xijing.

Although they do not have a too close relationship with each other, it cannot be said that they have nothing to do with it, not to mention that the young king is already highly regarded by the saints, so within the scope of his authority, Ge Fuyuan has also given them a lot of care for their family. Without Ge Fuyuan's help, they wouldn't even have a place to settle outside Chang'an City.

But the good times did not last long, last year in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Ge Fuyuan was recalled to Shendu, and after a short stay in the province, he was exiled to serve as the governor of Yangzhou.

As for his replacement, it was Wu Youyi, the former general of Yulin, who knew what kind of attitude he would have towards Li Tong and his family.

Xijing's political status is now as embarrassing as that of their Li Clan's Zongwang, and most of the officials left behind do not dare to risk offending the Wu family to welcome the Yongwang family. Only Xu Jian, who has a deep friendship, can maintain his diligence.

After sitting down, Xu Jian couldn't help but sigh and said: "The world is turning upside down, and it is like a raging tide. The king escaped from the courtesy, although he was hidden for a while, but in the long run, it can really be called a good strategy. It's a pity that in the old years, all the things were still painful, and we, who were recommended by the king, were really ashamed to see the king. ”

Li Tong was also a little melancholy after hearing this, and in the old year, he proposed to revise the "Etiquette General Discernment", which recruited a group of scholars. However, because he had to leave the Shendu through the funeral ceremony, the actual compilation work was handed over to another martial artist, Wu Youning.

But not long after he left, as the pace of Wu Zhou and Tang accelerated, Lintai was inevitably involved.

Wu Youning may be outstanding among the martial artists, but it is inevitable that the commonality of the martial arts is that there is no bottom line to cater to their aunts, and they have tampered with, added and deleted martial arts, and Zhenguan the ceremonial documents of the old years, which naturally made those who participated in the compilation very dissatisfied.

First of all, Lintai Lang Yuanxing resigned angrily and returned to his hometown. Then there was Lintai Cheng Wang Shaozong, who was convicted of his words and sent to Fengzhou. After a few academic powers who could write and speak were kicked out, the entire compilation team was already dead in name.

But the real blow was the big blow to the chief eunuch Shen Junliang who was sentenced to ambush, and as for the person who handled it, it was the cool official Lai Junchen who Li Tong had been thinking about and couldn't see before.

With the departure of Lai Junchen, Li Tong finally understood the true life experience of this guy. I haven't seen him for a long time before, it turns out that this guy is in jail.

Lai Junchen was a merchant in Huaijian in the old years, and was arrested and imprisoned for committing crimes, and was imprisoned in Hezhou State Prison.

At that time, the Hezhou Assassin Shi was Li Xu, the king of Dongping of the Li Tang clan, who was involved in the clan rebellion for four years and was killed. Originally, this matter had little to do with Lai Junchen, and he was still locked up in Hezhou Prison and no one cared about him.

During the Heavenly Revolution, Li Sizhen, a doctor from the Right Suppression Observatory, admonished that there were many unjust prisons in the world, hoping to send an envoy to ask questions and retrieve the unjust prisons.

Wu Zetian led the matter with the new prime minister Shi Wuzi, and how many unjust cases were overturned by the report, Li Tong is not clear, and the only thing he knows is that the demon of Lai Junchen was released in this way.

He said that it was for the purpose of going north to Shendu to report the rebellion of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and did not want to go to Hezhou to be arrested by Li Zhen's comrade Li Xu, if he could successfully tell the secret at that time, the court did not need a large army to quell the rebellion, and sent an envoy to kill Li Zhen, the king of Yue, in the state.

This guy Lai Junchen was also in a hurry, and as soon as he came out of the mountain, he emerged and directly participated in the rebellion of Prime Minister Wu Changqian. Wu Changqian is Cen Changqian, and he was also given the surname Wu in the first year of heaven, although he has always lacked a sense of existence before and after the revolution, but he still has not been able to avoid disaster on the issue of fighting for heirs.

The case of Cen Changqian's rebellion was implicated in many cases, and many high-ranking officials and officials were implicated, and Shen Junliang, the supervisor of Lintai, was one of them.

At that time, although Li Tong was mourning in Qianling, he also knew a lot about this matter, because Cen Changqian was directly killed between Chang'an and Xianyang. The reason why Wu Youyi was sent to stay in Xijing was to kill Cen Changqian.

Cen Changqian himself is the nephew of Zhenguan's famous minister Cen Wenwen, and has been in the dynasty for many years and has served as the prime minister for a long time. In order to get rid of such an important person, there were also many twists and turns, first sent out of the court in the name of going to Tibet, and when he passed through Xijing, he was directly killed on the way, and he was not even escorted back to Shendu for trial.

Later, Cen Changqian's nephew was arrested in Shendu, and under the threat and pressure of Lai Junchen and other cool officials, he falsely accused many ministers and sentenced them to death, including Shen Junliang.

Even Cen Changqian's uncle Cen Wenwen was affected, and he was originally buried with Taizong Zhaoling, but Wu Youyi led his troops to destroy the tomb and move out.

Zhaoling and Qianling were both near Xianyang, and Wu Youyi also passed through Qianling at that time, and Li Tong estimated that he had come to demonstrate on purpose. At that time, this also made the family tremble for a long time, worried about the impact.

As for Li Sizhen and Shi Wuzi, who indirectly led to Junchen's departure from the mountain, they also failed to stay out of the matter, one was demoted and banished, and the other was unjustly imprisoned and chose to commit suicide.

In this regard, Li Tong can only sigh that people may not have the heart to do evil, but under the influence of the general environment, they have inadvertently caused evil consequences. Of course, even if Junchen does not come, there will be other cool officials emerging, and in the final analysis, it is the evil thoughts of those in power themselves.

Regarding Shen Junliang's death, Li Tong deeply regretted it. He knew that this eunuch was born in the south, and he lacked many roots in the court, and most of the reason why he was able to regain his appearance was due to Li Tong. Although he had the scenery of the second degree, Li Tong didn't dare to think about whether he was still grateful or resentful when he walked into the court.

Originally, in history, it should have been Ge Fuyuan and Ouyang Tong who should have died in this round of turmoil, but these two people greatly deviated from their original trajectory because of Li Tong, and they failed to enter the Zhizheng Hall during this period, so they were saved from standing at the forefront of the turmoil of Li Wu's struggle for heirs, thus surviving.

However, Shen Junliang, who was originally an outsider, was unexpectedly involved in it and became the victim of political struggle, and Li Tong also felt guilty about it.

Regarding the matter of "Etiquette General Discernment", the specific compilation team has been broken up by Wu Youning, and the nominal editor-in-chief Shen Junliang has been killed again, so naturally he can only end up without a problem.

Xu Jian and the others have no specific ministry in the center, so they can only find their own way out. For example, Xu Jian's system of Lianzhong and his appointment as the lieutenant of Wannian County in Chixian County are already excellent.

"Although the story is scattered, as long as the people's will still exists, there is no successor."

Putting aside these distractions in his heart, Li Tong could only comfort Xu Jian like this.

Xu Jian looked at the young king, and there was no lack of expectation in his eyes: "The king has faded out of the world for several years, and there is no lack of silence in fashion. Saying goodbye to old friends in Shendu and going to Longmen to travel together, it is inevitably a more sad story. Fortunately, the king finally returned with full courtesy, and the favor will not be lost for a long time. ”

Hearing that Xu Jian looked up to himself so much, Li Tong just smiled slightly, and said: "I have been lazy for many years, and I am half unfamiliar with the personnel, and I have not yet made a plan for the way back. At the moment, I only plan to stay in Xijing for a short period of time, and under the rule of the guest, Xu Wei should not get tired of seeing me, an idle old man. ”

"If you live close to you, you can't ask for it."

Xu Jian hurriedly arched his hand and said, but he was not lacking in worry: "Xijing is already a place outside the matter, and it is not a person to talk about the pastor's office. The king has been in this realm for a long time, and he is afraid that he will be slandered by the perverse people. ”

Xijing is not the center of politics at the moment. Wu Youyi, a son of a martial artist, stayed in this realm, and his power was relatively higher. Xu Jian was worried that the young king would stay here and might be slandered by Wu Youyi, so he thought that it was better to return to the center of the Shendu where the currents converged, and it was better to invite the empress to favor again.

However, Li Tong also has his own considerations, and God will definitely go back. But the current Shendu may not be a good place for him, it is now a period of chaos in Wu Zhou and Xinli, and Li Tong does not want to get involved rashly.

Although he was quite in tune with his grandmother in the old years, he tried his best to do whatever his grandmother wanted him to do.

But at this moment, in his opinion, his grandmother has a kind of long-cherished wish that has been achieved for many years, and her mind is not very clear, and the situation is also on the verge of getting out of control.

Similar to the prime minister's team being collectively subverted, Cen Changqian is once. That time can also be attributed to the establishment of the new dynasty, the removal of the old ministers of the Tang family, and then there is a superficial reason for Li Wu to seize the heir, although the means are cruel, but at least there is a basic logic to follow.

However, at the beginning of this year, a group of prime ministers such as Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong were sentenced at the same time, and they had been escorted to the court to be executed. This shows that the current situation is chaotic, and even beyond Wu Zetian's control.

Di Renjie and the like don't say it, at least Wei Yuanzhong was cultivated and promoted by Wu Zetian, but he was framed by the cool officials and almost died. If Wu Zetian used such means to deter the prime minister, it would be a bit too child's play.

So right now, Li Tong doesn't think it's a good time to return to the Shendu, his grandmother is now a little crazy, almost unreasonable. The crazy framing of cool officials such as Lai Junchen can be regarded as an intuitive embodiment of Wu Zetian's negative emotions.

In this case, even if the licking route remains the same, if you dare to come forward, you have to worry about being bitten. Therefore, Li Tong planned to stay in Xijing for a period of time, and then think about when to return to Shendu, at least until his grandmother's madness passed.
