Spring flowers are blooming, the sun is shining on the earth, and a trace of warmth is beginning to hit gradually.

Throughout the winter, there were six snowfalls, four of which were so heavy that the land was still wet in the spring.

Wheat seedlings emerged from under the thick snow, and the growth was very gratifying.

After a three-month interrogation, the matter of lending money in Zhenbei finally came to an end.

Today is the day they return to Chang'an.

At the same time, it is also the day when the Yang family and their return.

Taking advantage of this trip to the north, Li Yuanji asked Cheng Zhijie to take their mother and son back.

After nearly a year of rectification, the country has basically entered a stable situation, only need to survive this year's waterlogging, all problems will be dispersed, and the next will be the rapid development of Datang.

If there is no natural disaster, it is good.

Smooth weather is the foundation of national development.

Many people have already appeared on the ground, and the snow has moistened the land and brought some influence to them.

The melting snow has made the canals dug last year fragile, and in some places they have already collapsed, and they have to clean up these collapsed places when they have time.

Everything seems to have returned to normal, and the people no longer have to worry about the drought continuing this year, and a frightened heart can finally be put down.

But in this regard, Li Yuanji did not dare to slack off at all.

"How's the river going?" Fanglin Gate, Li Yuanji asked Fang Xuanling beside him.

Those lenders are not worthy of coming out to greet them in person, what they greet is their wives and sons, and before they appear, Li Yuanji is still subconsciously concerned.

This year's emperor did a very good job himself, but he was also very unqualified.

The reason for the disqualification is that after being emperor for almost a year, at least half of the time is idle and idle.

It is very good because the work is reasonably distributed, and the ministers are too busy.

Li Yuanji always felt that he could improve a little more, and as much as possible, he could spend two-thirds of the time in a year being idle.

But not yet, at least until the winter of this year.

"It's been arranged, but now the river is up a lot more than in previous years, and it's going to be a bit troublesome to clean up, and it's not going too fast." Fang Xuanling shook his head.

He will not have any opinion on these decrees, and he will devote himself to them.

But this year's situation is indeed different from previous years, and when the river dried up last year, the people were so busy digging canals that they simply didn't have the energy to clean up the river.

The canal was dug and it was winter, and it was a cold winter once in hundreds of years, and the river embankment could not be dug at all.

Immediately after the beginning of spring, they were organized, but when the snow melted, the excess water was either stored in the canal or discharged into the river.

Various reasons piled up, and as a result, the river water rose a lot higher than usual, causing huge problems in the clean-up work.

"If the progress is not fast, we will think of other ways, and the counties will carry out investigations along both sides of the river, all the dead trees will be cut down, and some low-lying river embankments will be strengthened and increased in advance." Faced with this situation, Li Yuanji was also very helpless.

"No!"

Dead trees are easy to be washed down, and after being soaked by the river, they become extremely heavy, floating in the river and going downstream, which has a great impact on the river embankment or bridge, and is also easy to cause blockage, thus causing the river to be unsmooth.

Increasing the height and reinforcing is also the old way, but the efficiency is too low.

Cleaning up the river is a time-consuming and laborious task, and most people don't even bother to bang it.

……

I don't know how long it took, but the sky that was still clear turned out to be drizzling, the rain was not heavy, and there was no need to hold an umbrella, but this unpredictable weather still had a huge impact on people.

The already muddy road is even more difficult to walk on.

Just crossed Weishui, and the whole way has not crossed this river, which is even more frightening.

Li Shimin blew up the original Wei Bridge, and later Li Yuanji did not have time to rebuild it, and replaced it with several pontoon bridges.

Pontoons have the advantages and disadvantages of pontoons.

Now, for example, after a whole winter of cold, the hull that supports the bridge hull has to be replaced, and some small ice blocks are still ruthlessly destroying the hull.

So much so that the pontoon bridge began to restrict traffic, allowing only a small number of people to pass at a time.

The team with the right of priority, but under the Yang family's stop, did not enjoy this right, but let the person in front of the queue pass first.

Finally, it was their turn, but it rained again, and the wooden bridge deck was a little slippery, and some people almost fell into the river, which really scared people.

Yang and Yu'er each held a child who could just walk in their arms, and their mouths were still squeaking, and their hearts were also in their throats.

It wasn't until they crossed the bridge that the two breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that this team that looks like an aristocratic team is amazing.

Outside the dozens of carriages, there were a thousand sergeants, three hundred in front of the road, seven hundred in the back, and among these seven hundred, there were hundreds of criminals who were tied with their hands behind their backs and dressed in a string.

These people walked all the way from the north of the town to here, and the whole person also looked tired, and even people kept falling, but they had to stand up and continue to move forward, and what was waiting for them, no one knew what the fate would be? But as you can imagine, it must not be better.

"Coming......" From a distance, seeing the long procession, the anxious Li Yuanji muttered, and then crossed the city wall in three steps and two steps.

This place has long been sealed, and no one is allowed to approach it today.

In fact, Li Yuanji didn't have to be so troublesome, he could wait directly at Chongxuanmen or Yueying Gate, where he would not disturb the people, and he could directly enter the palace.

But if you enter the palace from there, you have to go through the Xuanwu Gate, and Li Yuanji didn't want to go there, so he didn't choose there.

The convoy gradually stopped, and hundreds of guards isolated the prisoners far away.

Although even if these people really rioted, they might not be able to rush to the emperor, but they still had to put an end to all possibilities.

"The concubine sees Your Majesty~~~" Yang and Yu'er visited one after another, each holding a child in their arms, followed by Wu Erniang with a sad look, since the Neiying incident, Li Yuanji has never seen her again.

Although she was wronged......

"Okay, it's good to be back!" Unable to hold back the excitement in his heart, Li Yuanji kept nodding happily.

Looking at the two tightly wrapped little guys, there is a trace of sweetness in my heart.

If you don't feel for the five cheap sons before, and you feel a trace of responsibility for those five daughters, then for these two little guys, the feeling in your heart is indescribable.

There is excitement, excitement, responsibility, and happiness, and I really experience what it feels like to be a father.

"Xiaoguang ......" teased Li Chengguang, the eldest son in Yang's arms, but the little guy was a little scared and suddenly got into Yang's arms and refused to be close to him.

And the other little guy simply refused to show his head, and kept drilling in Yu'er's arms.

The embarrassing scene instantly made Li Yuanji feel that he had nothing to love.

My two sons, since they were born, have not been with them much, so that now when they see themselves, they are like strangers.

"Your Majesty, it may be that you just woke up and are still confused, but the little guy didn't even let Yu'er hug him before, and it will be fine later." The embarrassed Yang had to hurriedly speak out to relieve the siege, even if it was lying, it couldn't make Li Yuanji lose face at this time.

"Haha, it's okay!" Li Yuanji laughed and signaled that it was okay, but he was still embarrassed in his heart.

The group entered the city and returned to the palace, but for the two little guys, this place was extremely unfamiliar, as soon as they entered the palace, they looked left and right, and it seemed that there were curious places everywhere.

After entering the palace, someone went to settle them.

Cheng Zhijie and others, who had been following into the palace, were already waiting in the palace.

Rao is Li Yuanji doesn't want to deal with official business at this time, and he can't go away, he can't let people wait, right?

"Your Majesty, the minister's task is completed, when you go, there are 1,000 people, and when you return, the queen and the princess and the princess have all been safely picked up, one by one." Returning the edict to Li Yuanji, Cheng Zhijie looked like an old man was leaving.

"Proposed purpose, the sealing office is bright as the duke of Dong'e County, and there are 1,000 households in the city." Li Yuanji nodded and directly started to seal the reward.

Cheng Zhijie's title has reached the Duke of Suguo, and it is impossible to go up, at least at the moment, this time he went north, and he was not given the title, but the credit must be given, the eldest son Cheng Chumo enjoys the right of inheritance, and will be the successor of the Duke of Su Guogong in the future, so he let Cheng Chuliang go with him in advance, and the credit this time was also recorded on Cheng Chuliang's body.

is a Dong'e County Prince, and the Cheng family has made a lot of money.

As for whether you are satisfied or not, if you are not satisfied, you go home and beat your son.

"The minister's dog, thank Your Majesty for the reward." Cheng Zhijie did not refuse as he imagined, thanked his son decently, and never mentioned the matter of leaving.

"Let's talk about the details!" Li Yuanji set his eyes on the other three.

The space of the flying pigeon biography is limited, and it is impossible to write the specific process on it, so I can only briefly talk about the results, and Li Yuanji is still very interested in this process.

"Your Majesty, the process is like this......" Li Guiba, who served as the chief judge, said the whole thing.

The process of handling the case was extremely smooth, and as soon as the third division arrived in Zhenbei, he could directly put it into it, and this credit was mainly due to Ma Zhou's preliminary preparation.

Everyone has been strictly monitored by Ma Zhou, Cheng Zhijie can directly arrest people according to the order, as for the interrogation, in front of the third division, no one dares to resist.

And whoever kills someone is also very simple, everyone has an account book in their hands, and the Zhenzhou Mansion also has the name of the deceased, and whoever borrowed the money must be who killed it.

As for the handling of the whole matter, it is to restrict all those who have not killed people from leaving Zhenbei, and those who kill people, or those who are in bad condition, will be escorted back to Chang'an to await trial, and the final result needs to wait for the emperor to give an answer.

And this time, those who were escorted to Chang'an were all those street bullies in the past, and there was no real family.

Listening to the whole process, Li Yuanji squinted his eyes slightly and muttered, "Cunning fox......"
