When Liu Renliang returned from Luoyang, Yun Chu, Wen Rou, and Di Renjie went to Mingde Gate to greet them in person.

When they met, Yun Chu felt like he had seen a fake Liu Renliang.

In the past, although he was very frustrated, Liu Renliang, who had a lion mouth and a high nose, a long beard, was eight feet tall, and walked with a tiger's step, seemed to have shrunk a lot.

His back began to stiffen, and his swarthy beard turned gray.

When he got off the carriage, his footsteps were obviously slippery, and after being supported by Yun Chu one step ahead, this iron-like strong man said to Yun Chu weakly: "Go back to the county government and talk about it." ”

Liu Renliang, who walked on an unsteady road, but forced to walk, kept looking around since he entered the Mingde Gate, with a pair of cloudy eyes, and saw the dilapidated appearance of Nancheng, his Adam's apple continued to stir, and he said to Yun Chu for a while: "Is the loss serious?" ”

Yun Chu said: "It's about to be demolished, why is Liu Gong so sad?" ”

Liu Renliang was stunned for a moment and said, "Demolition? Do you mean that Chang'an is still doing things? ”

Yun Chu said: "This is natural, if there is damage, there will naturally be repair, the riot caused by the scholars in the previous one just contributed to the advance of the development and renovation project of the southern city, isn't it very good?" ”

Liu Renliang said in surprise: "Sai Weng lost his horse? ”

Yun Chu smiled slightly, supported Liu Renliang and walked a few steps forward, placed him to sit on the steps under the bronze ox, the two bathed in the sun, Yun Chu sighed and said: "It's Sai Weng who lost his horse, but during this time, Chang'an's Sai Weng lost his horse a little too many times." ”

Liu Renliang nodded and said: "The old man knows that this is very difficult, you didn't give up, it's good, at the beginning, when the old man heard the news of your shaved home, he immediately felt that Chang'an was finished."

It's okay, it's okay. ”

Yun Chu said: "The work of the transfer envoy is not easy to do? ”

Perhaps because of the sun, Liu Renliang's dusty face had a smile on his face: "The grain straw of the border army and the grain straw of the Yingzhou army will be made up by luck before the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Listening to what Liu Renliang said was simple, Yun Chu heard it with a sour nose.

What is the grain of the border army, and the grain of the Yingzhou army is lucky?

The so-called border army refers to all the border armies of the Tang Dynasty that have crossed mountains, rivers, forests, grasslands, Gobi and deserts from Liaodong all the way to the west.

What does it mean to make up for luck?

It means that the food, clothing, ordnance, war horses, and materials needed by the 370,000 government soldiers, auxiliaries, soldiers, and conscripts on this line were replenished in half a year under the deployment of the old man in front of him.

And the material supplies required by Xue Rengui's official army in Yingzhou are even more astronomical, and the 120,000 army left Yingzhou, which was already remote and lacking in materials, and went all the way north to strangle the Xi people and the Khitan people in the white mountains and black waters, how much material supply is needed to support an army of 120,000 people to continue fighting without problems?

Not to mention how to collect supplies, how to deliver them, how to allocate them.

Now, these epic hard labors, when Liu Renliang said them, seemed to be understated, as if the old farmer had just completed the routine of pulling weeds in the farmland.

"In the past, there should have been six transshipment envoys, why are you the only one this year?"

"The imperial court has not sent someone for a long time, I heard that since Your Majesty has been seriously ill, Shangguanyi and the queen are not in agreement, and the queen's order cannot pass the Zhongshu, the door, and the Zhongshu, the performance of the door has not been approved by the queen, so it has been delayed."

Yun Chu sneered and said: "Duke Liu's official business here has not been answered, but the envoys on the Chang'an side have sent three factions a day, whether it is the three provinces and six departments, or the queen, they have not forgotten Chang'an while fighting." ”

Liu Renliang ignored Yun Chu's complaints, looked at the end of Suzaku Street and said, "Shangguan Yi died in Chang'an?" ”

Yun Chu said coldly: "The dignified Zaifu, he was beheaded by a eunuch on the street!" ”

Liu Renliang lowered his head and coughed twice: "Hard work is not hard, when you unload your errand in Luoyang, it is the real hardship." ”

Yun Chu said in a low voice: "Is it really blood spattered Ziwei Palace?" ”

Liu Renliang said in a low voice: "Zhang Yin, a regular attendant of the loose cavalry, Xue Du, a member of the Zhongshu House, Han Cheng, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, Lin Yuan of Taifu Temple, Shaoqing Bone Servant Lu of Sinong Temple, and a group of newly promoted so-called North Gate Bachelors, clamoring for official ceremonies.

Shi Wenjian scolded him several times, but these people not only did not restrain themselves, but beat Wen Jian on the spot, and then, Shangguan Yi ordered the Han general to enter the field to rectify the court, and Xue Du, a scholar from the middle school, snatched the axe in the hand of the Han general and chopped Shangguanyi...... Then, the Chinese book, the subordinates, and the courtiers of the left and right sides of the Taiwan took action one after another...... The Tang Dynasty, which is high above, has become a battlefield of flesh and blood.

The old man was standing at the door at that time, watching this group of scholars who were originally not diligent and did not distinguish between grains and grains as brave as lions, which almost made the old man return to the battlefield of Baijiangkou in an instant......

In the end, eleven people died and countless were wounded.

The white jade pillar was almost stained red with blood, so many famous ministers and brave generals were struggling and wailing in a pool of blood, and many guards in the palace watched coldly...... This is the most chilling thing for the old man and the most incomprehensible. ”

Although Yun Chu already knew the situation, now when he heard Liu Renliang say it again, he still had some cold hairs standing up.

"Your Majesty doesn't care?"

"Your Majesty had a head attack, and as early as the beginning of the incident, he was surrounded by the temple people and Gong'e and went to the dormitory."

The warm sun of Chang'an shone on the two of them, and they didn't have the heart to speak.

After a while, Liu Renliang said again: "The fight in the court spread to the city in less than half a day, and the generals, family members, and servants of the nobles stepped on the streets with open fire, looking for opponents who were suspicious of their own officials, and when they met, they were fighting, and for a while, black smoke billowed in Luoyang City, and the sound of killing shook the sky......

Yun Chu said again: "What about the prince? ”

Liu Ren track: "It was the prince who led three thousand iron horses into Luoyang, and the fighting subsided, and the prince went to Shangyang Palace to meet His Majesty accompanied by me and a group of old ministers, and obtained His Majesty's approval, got the right to supervise the country, and calmed down the court disputes, so that the old man was able to return to Chang'an."

Why, don't you know about the prince's affairs in Luoyang? ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I don't have anything to teach the prince, so I quit my job as the prince." ”

Liu Renliang sighed and said, "You should go to Luoyang to sit in the army." ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "It's Pei Xingjian who should go to the army, not me." ”

Liu Renliang frowned and said, "Why? ”

Yun Chu said: "Your Majesty's choice of Pei Xingjian did not choose me. ”

"Why?"

"Your Majesty should be worried that after I go to Luoyang, the prince will do the old things of Xuanwumen."

"Who will read the will?"

"No one came to read the will to me, but it was read to Pei Xingjian."

"So, you are in Chang'an to preside over the transformation of the south of the city?"

"Yes, people can't be idle, did Liu Gong just say that there should always be some people in this world who do something serious? What I am doing now is a good thing that really benefits the country and the people. ”

Liu Renliang sighed and said, "Your Majesty has begun to guard against the crown prince. ”

Yun Chu said: "You might as well say that Your Majesty has begun to indulge the Empress." ”

Liu Ren tracked: "Although he is seriously ill, His Majesty still does not have the intention of being the emperor. ”

Yun Chu said: "This is a helpless thing, after all, what kind of scene Emperor Gaozu is when he is the emperor, Your Majesty knows it clearly, he doesn't want to be like Emperor Gaozu, hiding in the Taiji Palace and having children endlessly." ”

Liu Renliang shook his head and said: "At this time of the year before last, Datang was still a good scene of prosperity and invincibility.

Fortunately, the crown prince supervised the country, and Luoyang was pacified. ”

Yun Chu stood up with Liu Renliang in his arms, pointed to the construction site at the end of Suzaku Street, and said, "There will be a Ten Thousand Nations Songde Tianshu, one hundred and forty-six feet high and weighing two million. ”

Liu Renliang muttered: "What is there to praise? ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "The civil strife in Datang is civil strife, and people outside must praise Datang for not killing virtue!" ”

Liu Renliang checked the scratches on a copper bull's leg, spat on it and wiped it vigorously with a handkerchief, and complained: "You seem to be indifferent to the affairs of Luoyang, and even have some joy?" ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "Chang'an is my home." ”

Liu Renliang wiped it for a long time, and when he saw that he couldn't remove the scratches on the copper corbel, he said to Yun Chu: "A character like you should look at the world." ”

Yun Chu smiled: "It is the emperor who should look at the world, not me." ”

Liu Renliang looked back at the gentleness who was following behind him and said to Di Renjie: "It's a pity." ”

Gentle smile: "It's okay, we are used to cleaning up the mess." ”

Hearing this gently, Liu Renliang's originally gloomy mood seemed to be much better, and he pointed to some ruins in the southern city that were burned to rubble and said to Di Renjie: "It is a big crime to set fire to the city!" ”

Di Renjie said: "Zhou Xing is dealing with it. ”

Liu Renliang frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Get rid of this person, Chang'an City can't tolerate such a dark poisonous insect." ”

Di Renjie said: "Zhou Xing is already packing his bags, and he will leave Chang'an in two days and go to Luoyang to ask for credit for himself." ”

Liu Renliang looked at Yun Chu and said, "Are you really not going to go to Luoyang?" ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Don't go." ”

"Why, at this time, the prince needs your help the most."

Yun Chu saw that there was no one left and right, so he whispered: "Your Majesty is sick, and there is still a big difference between him and Long Yu Bintian. ”

Liu Ren track: "However, this time Your Majesty is very sick, I heard that his left eye has been blinded, and his head disease has occurred three times a day. ”

Yun Chu looked at Liu Ren's track: "The old immortal said that it is easy for Your Majesty to know the destiny of heaven when he is old, and if he is properly recuperated, it is not impossible to be in the year of ear shun." ”

Liu Renliang spread his hands and said to Yun Chu: "Then stay in Chang'an honestly, it is only serious to build Chang'an well." ”

Yun Chu said: "Who said it wasn't. ”

Liu Renliang's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he pointed at Yun Chu and the others: "Take care of the gate of Chang'an, don't let the dirty things such as snakes, insects, rats and ants run in." ”
