Chapter 97: Ten miles of long street to send King Xian

Half a month later, an edict from Chang'an arrived in Linzi County, 800 miles urgently, starting from the imperial city, changing horses without changing people, running thousands of miles, and finally sent to Lincheng.

"Chang'an urgent report, please ask King Yun to answer the order!!"

After the soldiers who gave the order came to the Linzi Station, they couldn't support it, and they fell to the ground, and the officials hurriedly told Li Yun when they saw this.

After receiving the emperor's will from Chang'an, Li Yun did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed out, only to see the soldiers carrying an urgent edict of 800 miles in their backpacks.

After carrying the soldiers down to rest, Li Yun opened the edict by himself, although it was not reasonable and needed to be read out by someone, but the extraordinary law should be done at an extraordinary time.

After opening the edict, Li Yun read it very carefully, and after reading it, Li Yun's expression became solemn, and Cheng Chumo and Lin Qingzhu couldn't help but ask, "What happened in Chang'an?" ”

If it weren't for a major event, Li Shimin would not have urgently recalled Li Yun from Lincheng, and this time he came to investigate the case 13 years ago before he had a clue and was urgently recalled, which shows that something terrible happened.

"Two things!"

Li Yun raised two fingers, each of these two things is not a trivial matter, the words came to his mouth, Li Yun wanted to speak and stopped, and simply handed over the edict to the two.

After Cheng Chumo and Lin Qingzhu brought it, they immediately looked at it.

After reading it, Cheng Chumo said loudly: "What! Pei Lin was dismissed and exiled?! ”

Pei Lian, as the founding hero of the Tang Empire and the first prime minister of the Tang Empire, was deeply trusted by Tang Gaozu. However, it is not surprising that Li Shimin, the Zen seat of the Emperor Taishang, and Pei Lian, as the old lord and patriarch, are uncomfortable and favored in front of the new emperor.

"The evidence of Pei Lian's corruption and bribery has not yet been presented to the imperial court, how can Your Majesty know that Pei Lin has a problem and dismiss him and exile him in advance?" Lin Qingzhu also asked.

Li Yun was silent, as she said, the evidence had not yet had time to be presented to heaven, and Li Shimin did not know about Pei Lian's engulfment of the disaster relief silver.

However, Li Yun seems to be able to guess what Li Shimin thinks in his heart, as I said just now, Pei Lin is an old minister of Gaozu, he worships the prime minister, and ranks among the three princes and nine secretaries, but Li Shimin has never really trusted him.

What is the saying?

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Pei Lian, as an old minister favored by the emperor, will inevitably not be appreciated by Li Shimin, and sending dissidents is the most common political means for the monarch.

Li Yun was a man in two lifetimes, familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty, and knew Pei Lian's fate, and Li Shimin's reason for dismissing him was also very simple.

"The monk of Grace Temple Faya bewitched the crowd, and the son of Pei Lin was quite close to Faya, so he was naturally guilty of sitting together." Li Yun explained.

"Monk Falla? Although the old bald donkey is a little old-fashioned, he doesn't seem to be a person who bewitches the public, how can he say something rebellious? ”

Cheng Chumo went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace many times, and the Falla monk also has a few faces, although this person is a bit old-fashioned, but it is quite decent, let him think of it if he wants to break his head, Falla monk will bewitch the public.

Li Yun patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder and said with a smile: "Iron Bull! There's still a long way to go. ”

Cheng Chumo couldn't understand what Li Yun said, let alone what it had to do with Monk Falla, while Li Yun seemed to be wearing a mirror.

Li Shimin wants to get rid of Pei Lian, where does he need ironclad evidence, it's just an excuse, just like Yue Fei of the Song Dynasty, who gave Fengbo Pavilion to death on trumped-up charges, it is not a sentence from the person in power.

"Pei Lian's matter will be put aside for now, you should pay more attention to the second thing." Li Yun said.

Cheng Chumo was attracted by the first thing, and ignored the second thing, and after Cheng Chumo hurriedly read it, the whole person felt bad.

"The Turks went south, tore up the Weishui Alliance Treaty, attacked Yongzhou City at night, Cheng Da Commander was ordered to go to the front to block the Turks, how did he expect that the sky was not beautiful, and he encountered the yellow sand that had not been encountered in the northwest for a hundred years, and the grain and grass were blown by the wind, and now he is trapped in Yongzhou."

Bad luck and bad fate.

Cheng Zhijie can also be regarded as a fierce general among the founding commanders of the Tang Dynasty, and he is by no means a three-plate axe in the romance, but a brave and resourceful general.

Although he is not as good as Li Jing, the god of war, he is also a rare fierce general, otherwise, Li Shimin would not let him participate in the Xuanwumen Mutiny.

"Iron Bull! Your father was trapped in Yongzhou, and His Majesty urgently recalled us and others, obviously to rescue the boss. Li Yun said.

"Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and go, we can't wait." Cheng Chumo said hurriedly.

I learned that my father was trapped in Yongzhou, and the Turks were impassable on the outskirts of the city, and the army had no food and grass to help, so it was difficult to last long.

Not only to occupy Yongzhou, but also to kill hundreds of thousands of troops, for the Turks, it is definitely a rare good opportunity.

Li Yun also knew that time could not be delayed, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you go and clean up, and we can return to Chang'an." ”

As for Lin Qingzhu, she was originally the Linzi county order, and since Li Yun received the edict, it was time to return the real county order to her, pretending to be for so long, it was time to restore her true identity.

"Qingzhu, Tie Niu and I are going to meet Chang'an,......"

Li Yun wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Qingzhu and said: "Needless to say, I understand, don't worry, I will definitely be a good official who is honest and honest when you come back, and advocate justice for the people." ”

"Good! I'm content with your words. ”

Since Lin Qingzhu has been following Li Yun, there is no need to explain many businesses in the county government at all, she has long been familiar with the road, but Li Yun still explained something.

The time of departure was set for noon, when Li Yun and Cheng Chumo had already packed their bags and prepared to ride back to Chang'an on fast horses.

But when they rode to the gate of the city, they found that a large number of people had gathered at the gate of the city, dressed in various costumes, and these people were none other than the people of Linzicheng.

In fact, Li Yun's identity was leaked when he arrested corrupt officials, and the people had long known about his Royal Highness King Yun, but they didn't say it.

Now, Li Yun is about to leave, and thousands of ordinary people have gathered outside the city, and they have spontaneously organized themselves to travel for Li Yun.

During Li Yun's debriefing for half a year, the common people really felt that Li Yun relieved the people's worries and avenged the people's grievances, that he was a real good official, that he was a real good official who did things for the people, and that it didn't matter what his identity was.

The people are like this, and whoever is good to them will be grateful. This gratitude is an expression of the heartfelt expression of the people, from the bottom of their hearts, and it is by no means something that can be bought with money.

Li Yun looked at this group of ordinary people, and couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in his heart, sourness hit his heart, and tears rolled in his moist eyes.

At this time, an old woman with gray hair stepped forward with the support of her granddaughter, and her withered hands held a bowl of water, and said, "Lord, drink a bowl of water and then go." ”

Li Yun stepped forward immediately, took the water from the old woman's hand, said hello, and then drank it all, looked at everyone after drinking, and said: "Fellow villagers, this king is leaving, but I will not forget you, although it is only half a year, I can do something for you with a little effort, this life is enough!" ”

This is a humble speech, if what Li Yun does for the people is a small thing, no one in the world dares to say that he has done a big thing.

"The prince goes all the way!"

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to Li Yun three times, some people had never seen such a good official who served the people as Li Yun in their lives, and now they were leaving, they were naturally reluctant.

"Mountains and rivers meet, I hope that one day, we can still meet." Li Yun said.

Many people cried after hearing this sentence, the sincere tears of the people were not mixed with any hypocrisy, seeing this kind of scene, even Cheng Chumo, who has always been very arrogant, felt a little moved in his heart.

It was not until this moment, when he saw those simple people, that he really understood what a real good official was, and Li Yun proved with his practical actions what a good official should do for the people.

The eldest boy bleed and did not shed tears, but Cheng Chumo was also moved by the shocking kneeling of the people and left rare tears.

After the people kowtowed, an elderly man took an umbrella and handed it to Li Yun, which was not valuable, and was made of coarse cloth that could be seen by ordinary people.

But on this umbrella are the names of countless people.

"Wanmin Umbrella!"

Yes, this is an umbrella for all peoples. Saying that it is cheap, an umbrella can't even afford a few stones of rice grain, saying that it is a priceless treasure, even if it is a mountain of gold and silver, it can't be exchanged.

Every name on the Wanmin umbrella is a person's signature with deep meaning, and this umbrella is the best affirmation of Li Yun for half a year as an official.

Li Yun took the Wanmin umbrella from Lao Suo's hand, only to feel that this umbrella was heavy, more than a hundred times heavier than a mountain.

Under the farewell of all the people, Li Yun led the horse and left Linzi step by step, until their figures disappeared into the distance.

After Li Yun and Cheng Chumo left Lincheng, they kept heading west, and this time he did not stop along the way, but galloped along the banks of the Yellow River.

On the road of thousands of miles, the two of them also traveled day and night, rushing to Chang'an non-stop.

If it normally takes a month's journey, this time it took them less than ten days, and the whole journey was much faster than the 800-mile expedited journey.

Finally, when they saw the three big characters hanging high on the gate of Chang'an, the two of them were finally relieved, and their energy was almost exhausted.

"Chang'an City, we're back." Li Yun said.

Back in Chang'an City, Li Yun and Cheng Chumo did not go back to their respective homes, but went straight to the imperial city and came to the outer gate of the imperial city, and the eunuchs also hurriedly told them.

"Your Majesty! The Cloud King is back. ”

When Li Shimin learned of Li Yun's return, he said excitedly: "Hurry up!" ”
