Chapter 204: Return to Beijing

Li Jiazhuang is completely sleepless.

Li Xiao was the talker, and the villagers of Lanxi gave each a reward of 20 yuan, plus two liters of millet. Because of the battle at night, Li Xiao also deliberately added another 30 Wen reward money to each person and three liters of millet.

Not only are the people of the Lanxi People's League like this, but the Lantian people brought by the Liuxian Order are strong, and Li Xiao also gives nothing less. The 300 soldiers of the Lanxi Zhechong Mansion, the more than 100 rangers in Chang'an, and the 1,000 feather forests brought by Cheng Boxian, Li Xiao also insisted on rewarding.

Of course, the Chang'an rangers don't look down on this reward, and the soldiers of the Zhichong Mansion and the Yulin Army are not easy to receive the reward directly. Li Xiao still insisted on sending it in the name of gratitude, and in the end, Qin Xiong and Cheng Boxian had no choice but to let the people below accept it, after all, they took the initiative to reward everyone, and it was not a request.

The battle at night did not last long, and the casualties were not large, and after the count, seventeen people died, all of whom were government soldiers. This is also related to the fact that the government soldiers were more brave to rush to the front, the villagers injured more than 100 people, and many of the government soldiers were injured, but fortunately, there were not many seriously injured.

Li Xiao generously took out Jinchuang medicinal wine, wiped and bandaged it for everyone, and took it internally.

Fifty yuan plus half a bucket of grain, this is still relatively affordable, and everyone is quite happy to take it. Doctor Zhao saw that his family had spent more than 100 yuan of reward money and more than 100 stones of grain, but he didn't feel distressed.

The people of Guanzhong are still relatively simple and grateful, and if there is no rescue from the villagers and officers and soldiers today, Lijiazhuang will definitely not have a good result.

Although the current drought is serious, the price of grain is getting higher and higher, and more than 100 stones of grain are quite precious, but Dr. Zhao is not reluctant to empty the granary at home.

The daughter is gone, and she comes back.

The Li family's cooks were busy all night, and the kitchen never stopped. Porridge, soup cakes, egg drop soup, pickles······ Nearly 3,000 people stayed in Lijiazhuang, and after the war, everyone seemed to have a larger amount of food, and they were always not full.

This night was a long banquet without pause. A basket of steamed cakes came up, and it was eaten up in a while. Buckets of soup cakes came up, but they were all gone.

Fortunately, it was not until dawn that there were no more accidents.

The sky was light, Cheng Boxian urged the Yulin army to start preparing to return to Beijing, except for the 200 Yulin army to temporarily take over Lantian Pass, the remaining 800 Yulin army escorted Li Xiao and corn seeds back to Beijing.

Qin Xiong's 300 soldiers also returned to the Lanxi Military Mansion. The old lieutenant also followed Li Xiao into Beijing, and he wanted to make a report to the military department to explain his action.

The people of Lantian County also yawned, and each of them lined up in the Li family's compound to receive two steamed cakes, and then went home with the reward money and food they got.

This day and night was very lively for them, although there was also a thrilling time, but it was more exciting. After going back, this experience may be able to blow them for a lifetime.

One day and one night.

The chaos in Lantian finally subsided, and in Chang'an City, eighty miles away, in the Taiji Palace, things became clearer and clearer.

"Your Majesty, Su Gan Chengji died of a violent illness."

Yuwenjie explained the latest investigation to the emperor, in fact, it is not surprising that he can find out the body of Su Gan Chengji, after all, on Li Xiao's report, the identity of Su Gan Chengji is already very clear.

The morning breeze blew across the emperor's face, and the emperor had not slept all night, and his face was a little ugly at the moment. Although the turmoil was in Lantian and it was only a small turmoil, the turmoil on the side of the couch still affected the emperor's heart.

"Sudden death? Hmph, he died in time, I didn't believe him, but he died of a violent illness at this time. ”

Doctor Yu Shi and Tongzhong Shumen's Sanpin Yuwen Jie said, "It is possible that Su Gan Chengji has taken some kind of poison, but he can't find out for a while." ”

"How can you not find out if you want to check? However, since Su Gan Chengji is dead, even if he investigates, I am afraid that he will not be able to find too many things. Li Zhi gritted his teeth and shook his head and sighed, "Some people are really bold and reckless, and they can do all kinds of things." ”

Migan Chengji is dead, even if it can be found out that he led the troops to Lanxi before, it is useless. After all, Su Gan Chengji is dead, so he can't follow him to find out who sent him.

Although the matter has come to this point, the emperor already knows it.

Zhao Zhiman was sent by Chu Suiliang, so it is very likely that he sent Chengji. Thinking that Chu Suiliang, a prime minister, was able to bypass the imperial court and mobilize two fierce generals with so many soldiers so easily, Li Zhi couldn't sleep well.

He had always thought that he had the support of Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin and had mastered the army. But now it seems that the army is still not fully in his hands.

And how many Su Gan Chengji and Zhao Zhiman are there in Datang?

It's terrible to think about, there are countless Su Gan Chengji and Zhao Zhiman in the army, the twelve guards of the Tang Dynasty, especially those who directly command the generals of Zhichong Mansion, or the generals who are born as children of Guanlong nobles.

Li Zhi now even felt that even if it was the Yulin Army, it might not all be loyal to him.

"Have you found out the connection between Chu Suiliang and Su Gan Chengji?"

"Please forgive the minister for being incompetent, and I haven't found the connection yet." Yuwenjie said, "But just because Chu Suiliang transferred Zhao Zhiman, the minister can impeach him." ”

"Zhao Zhiman must die, Chu Suiliang must also be dismissed, and Su Gan Chengji, even if he dies, I will not spare him." Li Zhi said resentfully. He knew that behind all this, there was Uncle Guo's hand, but he couldn't move him now.

"Cheng Boxian, it's almost time for them to arrive in Beijing, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, as soon as I received the report, General Cheng Xue Er had just returned to Beijing, and Li Xiao, the corn supervisor, and Qin Xiong, the commander of Lanxi Zhechong, arrived in Beijing together." An attendant behind the Emperor replied.

"Deliver the decree, after I finish discussing with Xiangguo, I will summon Cheng Boxian, Xue Chuyu, Liu Wen, as well as Li Xiao and Qin Xiong, as well as Liu Jun, Wang Fangyi, and Li Yuanfang."

When the emperor is angry, it is the wrath of thunder.

Chu Suiliang was impeached by the Imperial Historical Observatory, and Dali Temple was ordered to investigate. Chu Suiliang was very hard to resign, before the investigation was clear, the emperor had accepted Chu Suiliang's resignation, dismissed Chu Suiliang's Zhongshu Order, Tongzhongshu Sect Sanpin, Chu Suiliang was ordered to introspect behind closed doors, and accepted the joint investigation of Yushitai and Dali Temple in the house.

The prime ministers under the Zhongshu Sect were very calm about this matter, unusually calm. The eldest grandson Wuji did not defend Chu Suiliang's last chapter, and the chaos in Lanxi was the direct consequence of the dismissal of a prime minister.

But everyone knows that there will definitely be more to come.

However, for Li Xiao, who had just entered Chang'an, he was too lazy to take care of it, anyway, the follow-up things were beyond his ability, and he was now thinking about the face saint for a while.

He didn't see the emperor in the political hall last time, but this time he finally had the opportunity to meet the saint, and he wanted to know what the young son of heaven was like, and whether he could verify a guess in his heart.
