After three years, Li Hong, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, led the three thousand iron armor of the Tang Dynasty, and finally returned to Shule City, one of the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, from the pursuit of the major nobles of the Great Food.

Accompanying him, who returned to the city of Ansi Shule with His Royal Highness the Prince, was also Mecca, an ally of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the heir of the Kordo family, one of the nobles of the Great Eater.

As for why he escorted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Shule and stayed for several days before returning to the border of the Great Food Country, it is said that he reached some agreements with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Shule City for some next reinforcements.

As for the territory of Tocharian and even the city of Jiling, because of the constant fighting between various ethnic groups in the territory of Dashi, the Kordo family asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help it defend and help govern the people in its territory.

As for the Kordo family, they will fully withdraw their troops from the territory bordered by Jiling City, and prepare to support the family forces in the country that are in chaos.

Li Zhi and Wu Mei frowned, listening to Wang Lou telling them about the current situation of the prince in Anxi, but their faces were full of unhappiness.

Since there is an opportunity to take back the Persian Governor's Mansion back then, why didn't this Li Hong take it back justifiably, but instead sent troops into Jiling City and other places in the name of assistance? Could it be that after a few years, what many families really plan to give back to their free hands?

Wang Lou lowered his head, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left Chang'an for three years, although there was no major incident in the court in the past three years, but the prince was so irresponsible to run this big circle from south to west, which still made His Majesty and the queen extremely unhappy.

But just when Wang Lou bowed his head and was silent, there was a childish cry outside, and a boy's crisp cry instantly entered the Zichen Palace.

"What's the matter, go check it out." Li Zhi held his forehead with a headache, and waved his hand weakly to signal Wang Loudao.

"When did Li Chongrun enter the palace? Who sent it here? Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi, who had a headache, and knew the situation outside without guessing.

For more than a year, as soon as Li Zhe's son Li Chongrun entered the palace, as long as he met Li Hong's eldest son Li Ye, he would definitely be made to cry, or snatch away His Majesty and his own imperial gifts.

But after snatching it, he didn't take it for himself, but gave it to Li Zhe's daughter Li Xianhui, this is not the first time he has done this, the crying outside just now, you don't have to guess, it must be Li Chongrun's crying.

As Wu Mei guessed, after a while, I saw two trembling palace maids, holding two men and a woman who were about two years old in their arms.

The boy clutched the palace maid's clothes tightly, and from time to time pointed to the plush toys and sugar gourds in the arms of another palace maid.

"What about that one?" Li Zhi looked up at Li Chongrun, a villain whose face was still full of tears, and then looked at Li Xianhui who was holding a sugar gourd and a toy.

Li Zhe held a wedding soon after Li Hong went to Jiannan Road, and then the two princesses gave birth to a man and a girl in the arms of the palace maid, and he and the queen, because Li Zhe has not been in Chang'an for a long time, so he is often summoned into the palace to show his favor.

But he can't stand another grandson Li Ye, as the eldest son of Li Hong, and the youngest county king of the Tang Kingdom, often like his father when he was a child, in this palace to recruit cats and dogs, after having Li Chongrun's "toy", he began to escape from the sight of his mother and palace maid in the East Palace every day, and led Li Ye by himself, or with his two-year-old younger brothers and sisters, he swaggered to Daming Palace to "do nonsense"!

Wang Lou glanced at the helpless Li Zhi and Wu Mei who rolled his eyes in embarrassment, and hurriedly said, "Back to Your Majesty, King Yejun is ...... When he saw King Runji weeping, he ...... He ran away in a puff of smoke. ”

"Just himself? What about Li Ye and the other two villains? Wu Mei looked at Li Chongrun and Li Xianhui strangely, and then looked at Wang Lou with some confusion and asked.

It is said that it will not be, Li Ye and Li Ye are Li Hong's eldest son and eldest daughter, the two have always been inseparable, why did he come to the palace by himself today?

"Back to the queen, the king of Yejun is alone, but it's ......." Wang Lou was stunned for a moment and then said stubbornly: "But the Fang family was led into the palace by King Yejun, and now he is waiting outside the door....... ”

"Let her in." Wu Mei sighed helplessly, shook her head and said.

Watching Li Zhi teasing Li Zhe's pair of children, he thought in his heart that Fang Muqing obviously knew that Li Hong had returned to Anxi, and suddenly entered the palace to see himself and His Majesty, I'm afraid that he came for Li Xian, right?

Now, even if it is not a royal family, or the court, who doesn't know that Li Xian, who has been deposed as a concubine for many years, after Li Hong returned to Anxi from Dashi, his situation is already more auspicious, and in the future, in this world, there will be no such person as Li Xian, it is estimated that no one knows.

But this Li Ye doesn't know what's going on, he likes that Fang Muqing since he was a child, although he has only met a few times, but every time he will give his good things to Li Xian's youngest son, who is about the same age as him.

This time, I was afraid that there was nothing to give away on my body, so I simply snatched the jade pendant I had just given to Li Chongrun, and gave it to Li Xian's youngest son Li Guangren.

In the Daming Palace, Li Zhi and Wu Mei were having a headache about Fang Muqing's affairs and Li Ye's affairs, but in Shule City in Anxi, it was peaceful.

Li Jingxuan is now in charge of the army of Shule City in Anxi, and in some time, he will immediately lead an army of 100,000 troops to Tocharian and Jiling City, so as to regain control of those vast territories in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

"Elder Li Ye bullying your son?" Li Hong's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Zhe, the parent who complained, in disbelief and asked.

"How can I lie to you? Zhao Ling'er and Wei Si will mention it every time in the letter, did you say anything to that little thing? Why can't he get along with Li Chongrun? And every time, he gave the stolen things to the youngest son of the sixth child. In the warm hall of the Shule City Protectorate, Li Zhe sat on the lower left of Li Hong and said dissatisfiedly.

"The thing was still babbling when I left, did he understand what I said? But I haven't seen me for the past three years, and I don't know if I still know my father! By the way, Sixth Brother, has Mu Qing come to see you in the past few years? Li Hong glanced at Li Xian, who looked like a middle-aged man, and asked.

The simple green clothes, thin body, and dark and thin cheeks, if you don't look closely, it will even make Li Hong mistakenly think that the sixth child in front of him is just an ordinary person in Anxi.

After all, today's Li Xian has long lost the spirit of competing for the throne with him, as well as his noble and elegant temperament, no matter how you look at it now, he looks like a wooden farmer.

The only hand covered with calluses, holding the teacup, smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "The father and mother sent them here once, and they lived in the mansion in Bazhou for more than three months, and then went back. ”

"How's it going? I'm afraid I'm already used to the identity and life of today's people, right? Do you still have the ambition to compete for hegemony? Li Hong and Li Zhe touched the wine glass, and after drinking it all, he motioned for Li Xian to follow suit.

Li Xian looked at Li Hong's gesture, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it all, sighed with a sigh of wine, and then said calmly: "I have thought a lot in the past few years, I was too eager for quick success, although even if I plan carefully, I am afraid that I will lose in your hands, but ...... I'm afraid that the end will not be as good as now, a few days ago, I watched Fang Muqing lead the two of them over and live together in poor Bazhou, I feel ...... It feels like living the rest of your life so plainly, which is also a good way to live. So now if you ask me if I have the ambition to compete for hegemony, I'm afraid I don't even know about myself, and ...... If Mu Qing and the children can come over, forget it, Mu Qing alone can come and accompany me to walk the rest of the way, I will be satisfied, and the rest ...... No more extravagance. ”

"In the past few years, whether it is the five surnames and seven wangs or the wealthy nobles, although I am not in the Tang Dynasty, but whether it is the Guozijian or the Chongwen Pavilion, the Hongwen Pavilion, and even the Ministry of Rites, the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, etc., have never neglected the rectification of some scholars and literati who have done evil, I think you also know how many down-and-out wealthy nobles have been assigned and exiled to various important towns in Anxi in recent years, and you have also seen the changes in Anxi over the years, and you should also understand how the changes in Anxi have happened quietly and how they have happened over the years. I just don't know if you've realized anything? Li Hong picked up Li Xian's empty sleeve and held it in his hand while playing with it.

"I thought about it a little, but I don't understand it in many places, Lao Qi is tight-lipped about everything, in three years, the troops of the Anxi Corps have changed guards with Anton twice in a row, and now Xue Rengui and Hei Tooth Changzhi are sitting in Anxi again, I want to ask for advice, they won't tell me, as for the wealthy nobles who came over...... I've never dealt with them yet. Because even if I am a concubine, I am also a concubine whose prince has been deposed, although I am poor and destitute, but I don't want to be with them. Li Xian's eyes were somewhat helpless, but no matter what, facing Li Hong today, he at least said the truth.

As for whether he still has the ambition to compete for hegemony in his heart, it is true that even he can't say clearly, not to mention, in Anxi over the years, watching more and more business travelers in Anxi, and various important towns have become richer than before by coming and going business travel, everything that happens in front of him is always knocking on the ambition that has not been extinguished when he was assigned here.

He didn't dare to guarantee that if he really snatched the position of prince from Li Hong back then, whether he would have the ability to make the four poor Anxi towns of Datang become what they are now.

Even if it is a natural disaster on the grassland, they can't open the pot, but as long as they send someone to the capital to explain the situation, then a large number of food and other winter items will soon be brought by the passing merchants, piled up and waiting for the herdsmen to exchange for a year's fat cattle, horses and sheep.

Although the herdsmen will still fight each other over the fertile pastures, once the Anzai Protectorate intervenes, no matter how powerful the herdsmen are, they will become honest and obey the judgment given to them by the Metropolitan Protectorate.
