Chapter 713: The former overlord is back
Three days have passed since the bloody day in Chang'an City, and during these three days, the people seem to have become accustomed to the fact that a large number of criminals' families are escorted out of Chang'an City every day, and they do not know whether they will be exiled to a certain place or sent to a certain place to be sent as slaves. Some people have roughly estimated a number, in the past three days, there are more than 600 people who have cut off their heads at the entrance of the vegetable market, and there is no way to count the people who were escorted away, but it should not be less than 1,000 people.
There were many large mansions in Chang'an City that were vacant at once, but they were soon given to meritorious ministers from the Yan Yunjun by His Royal Highness King Yan.
In the end, no one knows how many people will be exiled and how many people will be killed, perhaps even King Yan himself will not know.
Li Xian originally wanted to make a smooth transition, and slowly reached a tacit understanding with those Guanlong families who had the ability to influence the situation in Chang'an and even the pattern of the world in secret, and a tacit understanding of coexistence. So he tried his best to solve the problem in a way that he was not familiar with, but in the past few months after entering Chang'an City, this method did not seem to resolve the problem, but made him fall deeper and deeper into a dilemma.
He is not from a family, what he has learned since he was a child is how to survive, how to kill, and how to ensure that he is not killed. He is still a little unfamiliar with the art of power schemes, although he has been working hard to change himself over the years, but there is no doubt that when he squeezed into the court controlled by the family in a domineering way, he found that in the eyes of those people, no matter how strong he was, he was a loach that swam into the koi pond.
The reason why he wanted to solve the problem in a more gentle way was because he began to cherish the empire. This empire, which was someone else's before, is now his. He didn't want to conquer in a purely destructive way, but there was no doubt that for a political beginner, he couldn't do it as easily as he did when he commanded Yan Yun's army to fight for territory.
And he did get a little lost in what he was getting now, so much so that he was a little cringe and timid.
It was Ye Huaisleeve who used a bloody and tragic way to make him gradually sober up.
With the killing of that day, Li Xian finally understood one thing.
If those koi fish are so proud, even if they are not capable of resisting their own rule, they still see themselves as a black loach, so why do they have to turn into a koi to cater to those people? Since it is difficult to change yourself to adapt to a new environment, the most effective way is to stop thinking about turning yourself into koi fish, and then use the simplest and most crude way to turn those koi into loaches.
No, the weakest fish worm.
After Li Xian entered Chang'an City, he had been thinking about how to balance the contradictions between the old Li Yuan Dynasty and the generals of the Yanyun Army. He originally wanted to stand in the middle with a fair attitude, and he could neither make the generals of the Yan Yun Army feel cold, nor could he make Li Tang's old ministers feel hopeless.
It's an extremely hard thought, and just thinking about it makes you sleep. And the implementation is more difficult than you want, ten, a hundred times.
It was also because of the killing provoked by Ye Huaisleeve that Li Xian figured out this matter. Yan Yunjun's heroes are heroes, and Li Tang's old ministers are old ministers. On the one hand, it is the old brother who follows himself to fight the world, and on the other hand, it is the wall grass that intends to gain a firm foothold in the new dynasty by relying on the strong strength of the family, which does not need to be balanced at all, the hero is the hero, and the wall grass will always be the wall grass.
He made many decision-making mistakes in the court, and he can still guarantee control of the Tang Dynasty, not because he balances those old ministers of Li Tang, but because he has countless brave generals and hundreds of thousands of elite divisions.
It's like a genius boy who has been specially recruited into a college campus. No matter how smart he is, he can't fit into the new environment anytime soon. He couldn't be friends with those brothers and sisters who were much older than him, because behind everyone's pretended kind smiles, there was deep jealousy and hatred.
Before Li Xian entered Chang'an City, he was a young dragon swimming in the sea. He is uninhibited and fearless. But after entering Chang'an City, it was like a dragon entering the shallows, and he was constrained by his own ideas everywhere.
That's right, it's not the enemy who is holding him back, it's himself.
It's a process of growth, and thankfully, the price he paid wasn't huge.
Hoping to adapt to an environment is a sign of weakness. Li Xian only figured out now, every time he took a step back, those opponents hidden in the shadows unconsciously took a step forward, it seemed that Li Xian was controlling the situation, but in fact, he was exchanging concessions for coexistence.
This is where the fundamental mistake lies.
Maybe Ye Huaichong had already seen through this, but she couldn't think of a gentle way to make Li Xian wake up. So she chose to kill, and told Li Xian in this way that when your strength is already strong and everyone is jealous and afraid, why do you have to adapt to others?
So, Li Xian also began to kill people.
Li Xian himself said a long time ago that he was not a murderous person. But when he had to kill, he would never fail to hold the knife that kills.
……
……
The afternoon sun shines warmly through the open windows, and there is a particularly comfortable and warm feeling shining on people's bodies. This kind of sunlight always makes people attached and then lazy. So when Ye Huaisleeve was lying on the bed and resting with his eyes closed, he obviously couldn't sleep, but he was very reluctant to open his eyes.
The medicinal properties of the anesthetic prepared by Dugu have passed, and the wound is a twisting pain. But there was no trace of pain on her face, even a little intoxicated.
She seemed to enjoy the comfort of not having to think about anything, not having to do anything. Even if this comfort is based on the pain of her own body, even if she already knows how heavy her injuries are.
"Eat something when you wake up."
Li Xian sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her and said softly: "I boiled a bowl of japonica rice porridge, I am good at barbecue, and the fact that I am not very good at boiling porridge." You know...... From childhood to adulthood, where is the time to calm down and make porridge and drink? Which one...... If it doesn't taste good, I'll make something else for you, you shouldn't eat anything too greasy now, Xiao Di specially instructed me. ”
"Did you boil?"
Ye Huaisleeve opened his eyes, seemed to be extremely interested, and his face was flushed.
"Help me up."
She said.
"Lie down, I'll feed you."
Li Xian picked up the porridge bowl and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's a little thicker." ”
Ye Huaisleeve glanced sideways, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is this porridge you boiled, or steamed rice?" ”
"Looks ...... More like rice. But there is no doubt that this bowl of rice is made according to the process of porridge, and I promise that there is no paste. ”
"I'll Taste It"
Ye Huaisleeve opened her mouth with a smile, and she didn't know why, there was a sense of attachment in her eyes, and she didn't know whether she was attached to the comfort of the bed, the warmth of the sun, or Li Xian's bowl of porridge that seemed to be absolutely not delicious.
"It tastes good!"
Ye Huaisleeve, who drank a sip of porridge, praised it very sincerely, and then said a little pitifully: "That...... The taste is a little lighter, and the mouth is already bitter, and just drinking rice porridge is really a bit ...... Can I eat a little bit of meat? ”
"How can a woman love meat as much as you do?"
"Who told you to make delicious meat?"
"Uh...... If you really can't drink this porridge, I'll cook you a bowl of hot noodles to eat, and you can put some slices of meat. ”
"Yes, yes"
Ye Huaisleeve clapped his hands lightly and said: "Don't put a piece of meat, put a piece of meat, and a very large piece, you can go and stew a pot of meat first and then put it in the hot noodles, I'm not hungry or in a hurry, but I must eat meat." ”
Her appearance is so cute that she can't help but want to pinch her face, and this cuteness is not pretentious in the slightest on her face.
"Good!"
Li Xian nodded: "I'll go stew now, but it will take longer, you wait." ”
"Hmmm! I'm waiting! ”
She nodded vigorously, then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
When Li Xian got up to leave, the smile on the corner of Ye Huai's sleeve gradually solidified. She looked at Li Xian's departing back, and there was something crystal turning in her eyes. Ever since she was sensible, she rarely cried again. Later, after she met the man, her tears gradually increased. Later, the man gradually stopped her tears. Ten years later, she once again felt the urge to cry.
"Sister Ye......"
Xiao Di sat down on the edge of her bed and held her hand, and Xiao Di realized that Ye Huaisleeve's hand was as cold as ice.
"Sister Ye, don't worry."
Xiao Di clenched Ye Huai's hand and said seriously: "Dugu said, there will be no way." He had been in his study last night and had not come out, and he said he would definitely find a way. ”
"I'm not sad because I'm hurt, I'm just because I want to cry all of a sudden."
Ye Huaisleeve let himself smile, stubborn and proud.
……
……
Four hundred and seventy miles away from Chang'an City, next to a small forest.
There were hundreds of corpses on both sides of the official road, and the clothes on these dead bodies were very messy, and the weapons in their hands were also very messy, so it could be seen that they were not regular people. But these people showed a strong desire to fight just now, of course...... This is simply because they are greedy.
It stands to reason that there are more than 100 cavalry guards, and it stands to reason that there are more than 100 cavalry to protect them, and ordinary bandits and bandits will not take the risk of raiding, but maybe it is the war horses of these cavalry that arouse the greed of those bandits, or maybe the woman in white on the carriage was seen by the leader of the bandits when she got off the carriage, and about six or seven hundred bandits rushed out of the woods with a roar.
The battle lasted for half an hour, and the more than 100 cavalrymen showed extremely strong combat effectiveness. Although the bandits were six or seven times as strong, only seven of the hundreds of corpses left on the ground were chariot guards after the battle.
The woman in white looked at the corpse on the ground and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Sister, didn't you say that the Central Plains is more stable than the grassland? But why are there so many wicked people in the Central Plains, they want to kill us and steal horses, right? ”
"The Central Plains has just experienced war, and the world has not yet been decided...... But most of the places are still stable, and these people may be the rout of a certain army, and they dare not go back, so they will run out to block the road and rob and rob. ”
"Why didn't the khans of the Central Plains send troops to kill these wicked people?"
"Because there is no Khan in the Central Plains who can convince everyone now."
"I see......"
Ashina nodded and said seriously: "It's like our grassland now." ”
"It's good to wait until you get to Chang'an, it's very stable there."
Ashinaduo, who was dressed in white, looked at the guards who were bandaging their wounds, and felt a sense of guilt in her heart. She would not have returned to the Central Plains at this time, but something big happened on the grassland, and she had to arrange a back road. This trip has been through all kinds of hardships, and the guards have lost a third.
After saying this, Ashina Duoduo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed.
He is in Chang'an, but I am afraid that Chang'an will not be stable now.
She didn't know that Chang'an City had just experienced a bloody massacre, but she knew that she had to send Ashina to Chang'an as soon as possible, and then rush back to the royal court immediately. If she had returned late, the entire steppe might have experienced a massacre.
The former overlords of the steppe, the Tiele people, have returned.
