Su Lu finally returned to Beijing.

After years of fighting, he and Li Qing gathered less and left more, and the palace in the capital had not been back for several years.

On the Xiting side, after following the meaning of Su Lu, Li Qing personally issued an order, with Cao Hua as the main general, and Zhao Wu Wang Si as the auxiliary, to rush to the aid of Xiting.

As for the Luojiang Governor's Mansion, Luoda was left to guard the town, and Wenjiang, the Qingjiang Naval Division, was transferred to the Deputy Governor of the Luojiang Governor's Mansion, and a new Luojiang Naval Division was formed with the Qingjiang Naval Division, guarding the Luojiang line.

With Li Kun as the main general, he guarded the Wangjiang River and formed a naval division for the open sea to deal with the threat from the Intersea Sea.

Su Ping was transferred to the Jiedu Mansion in the north, presiding over the military and political affairs of the north in the name of General Huaihua, and taking charge of the north.

On the way back to Beijing, relying on the mighty and mighty, under the reprimand of Su Lu, the prefectures and counties he passed through, the treatment was simple, which was a pain for the officials who followed Luan to drive out and rub the benefits.

When I came, I ate and drank well, and when I went back, the places where I lived were simple and tight, except for the two ministers of the six ministries who came out, the rest of the people were simple meals and rough residences.

Although there are many complaints from people, the gratitude of all prefectures and counties to Sulu has risen sharply, and most of the money and food that need to be supported have been reduced, and the labor is almost useless.

On this day, Luan arrived in Guangnan, and Zhou Yuan, the assassin of Guangnan, personally presided over the reception.

Although there was Su Lu's previous reprimand, but for Li Qing and Su Lu, as well as the reception of Su Lu's attaché, the specifications were still the highest, and the rest of the ministers, including the six ministers, were all reduced to the minimum, especially the Da Zongzheng who accompanied him, and there was no one to deal with.

Da Zongzheng's carriage stopped in place for a long time, and Da Zongzheng's servants followed him for a long time, from the beginning of scolding to the current bitter begging, no one in Quang Nam Mansion paid attention to him.

The servant Li Han arrived in front of the car and said with a bitter face: "Master, the little one is useless, I can't help you find a place to live, and the inns and residences around it, even if you make money, you won't care about us." ”

Dazong Zheng Li Weiyuan lifted the curtain of the carriage, and with Li Han's support, he got down from the carriage and looked around, only his own two carriages were left on the street.

With a flick of his white beard, Li Weiyuan's face was a little ugly, he knew that he was slandering Su Lu behind his back, and he would definitely attract the dissatisfaction of Su Lu's officials, but he didn't expect that this revenge would not come so quickly and directly.

"Come with me to see Zhou Yuan, I want to see what makes him the first minister under Su Lu stand out."

Zhou Yuan was commanding a group of officials to write down the materials on the carriages, which were all presented to His Majesty by the officials from all over the country, and there was no room for error, so Zhou Yuan checked it very carefully, almost checked it piece by piece, and sealed it after confirmation.

Seeing Da Zongzheng, Zhou Yuan smiled.

In response to Da Zongzheng, it was his own arrangement, and Cao Hua sent news that the prince was slandered by Da Zongzheng in the back and was forced to give up his military power and return to Beijing to recuperate.

Zhou Yuan did not believe that the prince would be forced to give up the military power, the prince and His Majesty were one, and the malicious slander of others was definitely useless, but it must be true that the prince returned to Beijing to recuperate, and the last time Zhou Yuan sent grain and grass to Qingjiang, he saw that the prince's body was much worse.

The south is hot and humid, the prince is from the north, plus he has been fighting for many years, and there are many injuries on his body, so his life in the south will definitely be difficult, and his health will probably be worse.

His Majesty had not seen the prince before, so naturally the prince led the army to fight outside, but now that he sees the prince described as haggard and distressed, he will definitely not allow the prince to abuse his body again.

Sure enough, when I saw the prince again, the prince had lost a lot of weight, and he was not tall in the first place, but now he looks a little rickety.

However, since Dazong Zheng has said bad things about the prince, how can he do it without paying a price.

Li Weiyuan stood in front of Zhou Yuan, who was contemplating, and scolded coldly: "Lord Zhou, this is how you arranged Luan to drive, deceive the king, do you know what crime to be guilty of?" ”

Li Weiyuan was imposing, standing in front of Zhou Yuan, looking at his appearance, he looked like he had eaten Zhou Yuan in one bite.

Zhou Yuan was unmoved, holding the account book in his hand, pointing to a large ornament behind Dazongzheng, and scolded the errand servant below.

"A group of waste things, I didn't see Ding Xiaosan moving things alone, I knew that I was hiding behind to be lazy, bragging, and maliciously slandering Ding Xiaosan, but now it's in my eyes, bastard stuff who doesn't do anything, just don't help Ding Xiaosan, just dare to slander people behind my back, see how I clean you up when I go back."

A few servants smiled and went up to help Ding Xiaosan carry the ornaments.

Li Weiyuan's face was dark, damn it, Zhou Yuan is not a thing, openly scolding his subordinates, and secretly scolding Lao Tzu.

"Lord Zhou, believe it or not, this official will go to your majesty to sue you, so that your black yarn hat will not be protected."

Zhou Yuan glanced at Li Weiyuan up and down: "Believe, why don't you believe it, the prince is going to return to Beijing because he doesn't believe it, the majesty of the great sect is not to be offended." ”

"You"

Li Weiyuan pointed at Zhou Yuan, and he was smoking.

The lawsuit between the two soon reached Li Qing.

Looking at Zhou Yuan, who was holding the account book in his hand and the official robe was stained with a lot of dust, Li Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly, Zhou Yuan was an official recognized by Su Lu, and his character and ability were naturally not bad.

If it is difficult to do a good thing, Zhou Yuan will definitely be able to do it.

"Zhou Yuan, the prince's return to Beijing has nothing to do with Dazongzheng, it is to return to Beijing to recuperate, don't transfer your anger to Dazongzheng."

Zhou Yuan hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty is serious, the minister knows that it is the duty of the minister, and he does not dare to disrespect His Majesty." ”

Li Qing rolled his eyes in his heart, yes, you don't dare to disrespect me, but you don't respect Dazongzheng.

"In this way, Dazongzheng, you will stay in my palace for the time being, Changning, and arrange a tent for Dazongzheng."

Changning bowed and went out.

Li Qing comforted Da Zongzheng and said: "Da Zongzheng, when you said those words that day, you should know that no matter what the prince returned to Beijing for, you will be affected. ”

Dazong Zheng had a stalk on his neck: "The minister is planning for the Li family, and for the society, even if tens of millions of people snub the ministers and slander the ministers, as long as they can do their part for His Majesty's country, the minister's wish will be enough." ”

"You're not planning for your Li family."

Su Lu's voice came from outside the tent.

With a military booklet in his hand, Su Lu entered the big tent and handed the military booklet to Li Qing.

"I originally wanted to go back to Beijing to rest, but I'm afraid it won't be possible this time."

Li Qing read the booklet, and his face turned pale: "The Double Buddha City was defeated, General Cao Hua lost most of the military horses, and the barbarian soldiers pointed directly at Wanning City." ”

When Dazong Zheng heard this, he immediately scolded: "This group of thieves, in order to let Su Lu control the military power, deliberately lost to the barbarians, not the son of man, not the son of man." ”

Su Lu raised his eyebrows, and his face became difficult to look at.

Li Qing's face also turned cold: "Li Weiyuan, you are a great sect, every sentence represents the face of the clan, the royal bearing, and slandering the generals of the imperial court, you have to think about it." ”

Li Weiyuan knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends General Xie Wan and General Xiao Cong, the two of them will be able to defeat the barbarians without Su Lu." ”

Su Lu smiled, looking at the great Zongzheng who was indignant at himself, the great Zongzheng, the great Zongzheng, you are a clan who lives deep in the capital, and you have never faced the barbarian soldier peak, no, I am afraid that you have never even seen an ordinary battlefield.

It's better to let you experience that the ideas are very full and the reality is very backbone.
