Hurried for several years, with a flick of a finger.

The last time I came to Chang'an, Datang was still holding his last breath. Although the world has fallen into disarray, Chang'an, as the imperial capital, is still a peaceful and prosperous world. At that time, when the carriages and horses crossed the Baqiao, on both sides of the Qingqing River, the boys and girls indulged in singing and dancing, and the scene of the smiling people still appeared in their minds.

But now, it's a matter of things.

On both sides of the snow-covered bank, ruined houses abound, and it was time to eat, but there was no wisp of smoke rising, no dogs barking, no chickens crowing, and between heaven and earth, it seemed that only the wind was howling and the snow was flying.

The whole of Chang'an seems to be dead.

This is the second time he came to Chang'an, Li Ze's first feeling.

Riding a horse and standing on the bridge, Li Ze was speechless for a long time.

He stood on the bridge, and no one dared to step on the bridge, so even the little emperor's car was parked far on the other side of the riverbank.

On the isolated long bridge, the cold wind rolls up the cloak that is black on the outside and red on the inside, like a delicate portrait of landscape figures.

Xing, the people are bitter.

Death, the people suffer.

Li Ze suddenly remembered this poem.

I don't know how long it has been, Li Zefang took a long breath, shook the reins, and got off the bridge. Behind him, countless soldiers and horses immediately surged. Immediately after, a steady stream followed.

It wasn't until he saw the Tang Dynasty banner fluttering on the city wall of Chang'an, and saw those soldiers standing solemnly, that Li Ze felt relieved and came back to life.

Tu Lichun and Wang Sili originally wanted to hold a large-scale welcome ceremony, to welcome Li Ze to Chang'an ten miles away from the city, but this plan was directly rejected by Li Ze. Therefore, he could only greet Li Ze's arrival at the city gate.

For Tu Lichun and Wang Sili, today is a day worth celebrating, and it is also a day that will definitely be written into the history books. Thinking of more than ten years ago, one of them followed Li Anguo to live together, and the other followed Li Ze to live hard in the small place of Wuyi, who would have thought that more than ten years later, they would stand in this place?

At that time, Chang'an was an unattainable existence for them.

But now, they have become the masters of this magnificent city.

The current development of Wuyi is indeed very good, the city is expanding year by year, and the population is increasing year by year, but compared with places like Chang'an, the emerging city is not necessarily small in scale, but it always feels that something is missing. This is the precipitation of history, and nothing else can make up for it.

It was only when they stood on the wide Vermilion Bird Avenue in Chang'an City that the two of them felt that they had really won.

So these two people, even though they have been waiting for Li Ze in the cold wind for a long time, they feel hot both in their hearts and in their bodies.

Compared with these two, the other person felt terrified.

The former Tang Dynasty Chinese Book, the former Great Liang Chinese Book, and Wang Shu are frightened at the moment.

He didn't know what he was going to face next.

These days, he has used all his strength, mobilized all the forces he can mobilize, helped the Tang army maintain order in Chang'an City, tried his best to make the dilapidated Chang'an have some new atmosphere, and made the chaotic Chang'an calm, he wanted to show Li Ze the value of his existence. And in the dead of night, he still has to think about how to justify his actions in the past few years.

He didn't want to wait for all generations, what glory and wealth for a long time, and now he just wants to be able to survive peacefully, and not be turned into burning incense by Li Zeqiu.

As a technical bureaucrat, Wang Shu's administrative ability is naturally no problem, and when he wants to do things, he can still get things done. Chang'an was able to stabilize in such a quick time, although it had the deterrence of Tu Lichun's Wang Sili army, but it did benefit from Wang Shu's merits.

Tu Lichun and Wang Sili are at war, and they are at a loss as to how to govern a huge city, that is, the second monk is confused.

The people at the gate of the city were divided into two groups, one group was naturally the officers led by Tu Lichun and Wang Sili, and the other group was the old officials in Chang'an City led by Wang Shu, as well as those families, nobles, merchant gentry and some recognized people who were old and virtuous.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Someone in the crowd whispered.

At the end of the field of vision, a large group of chariots and horses rolled in, and countless soldiers with distinct flags guarded the left and right. The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, a group of cavalry suddenly jumped out of the queue, rushed towards the city gate, close to the city gate, divided into two, Le Ma stood solemnly, the first member of the general jumped off the horse, hurriedly stepped forward, first to Tu Lichun and Wang Sili two fists as a salute.

"General Tu, General Wang, and the last general Li Peng!"

Tu Lichun nodded: "Everything has been arranged, Li Xiang'an?" ”

"Lee Sang-an!" Li Peng straightened up with a smile and glanced at the large crowd behind Wang Shu, since Gao Mi's assassination, Li Peng was beaten up by Li Mi, and now every time Li Ze goes to a new place, every cold hair on his body stands up, and everyone seems to look like a bad person.

"Don't worry, the internal guards are arranged!"

Knowing Li Peng's worries, Tu Lichun said in a low voice: "The people who appear here have all been repeatedly verified and tested, they are sergeants, and they are not allowed to carry weapons such as bows and crossbows. ”

As he spoke, the chariots and horses in the distance had already arrived. At the front, however, is a black and white carriage, which is naturally the coffin of Emperor Li Yan.

And the little emperor Li Ke and the prime minister Li Ze walked over step by step, one left and one right, holding the wheel.

"See Your Majesty, hooray, hooray, hooray!"

Headed by Tu Lichun Wang Sili, all the people at the gate of the city knelt down, and even the soldiers above the city head also landed on one knee at this moment.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!" After this period of intensive training, Furukawa is already familiar with these routines, raising a pair of red and swollen eyes, looking at everyone, and saying poignantly.

His face is haggard, his eyes are red and swollen, naturally he is not really sad, anyone who is smeared with a handful of pepper on his eyes will become like this, and he stays up all night without sleeping, can he not be haggard?

"Long live thanks!" And they prostrated again, and then stood up.

Anyway, everyone knows that the emperor is just a puppet, and Li Xiang is the big one.

"Your Majesty, you're finally back!" In the crowd, an untimely and poignant cry sounded, and a purple-robed official flashed out from behind Tu Lichun and Wang Sili, and rushed straight forward.

One of Li Peng's hands had already grasped the hilt of the knife.

He didn't know this guy, but there was Li Xiang standing on one side of the carriage!

The official, who fell to the ground, did not think to stand up, but actually crawled on all fours, until he reached the side of the carriage, reached out and hugged one of the wheels of the carriage, and raised his head up, his face was covered with snow, mud, and tears flowed down his face.

"Your Majesty, you're finally back, the old minister should be damned!"

Looking at the other party, Li Ze didn't remember who this person was for a while.

"Li Xiang, it's Wang Shu!" The tall elephant chief behind Li Ze whispered.

It's this guy! This reaction, this expression, is worthy of being a veteran figure who can stand tall for two dynasties! Li Ze said a few words in his heart.

He didn't have much affection for Wang Shu.

When he came to Chang'an, Tian Lingzi was very reputable to do things with money. Chen Bi doesn't take money and doesn't do anything, and he also finds fault with him, but it's all on the bright side. And these two people, the last one ran away with the old emperor, and the other died fighting for the old emperor. There is only one Wang Shu, the money is collected, and he doesn't do anything, and he secretly stumbles on himself, and in the end, he is not guaranteed in the evening and becomes Zhu Wen's courtier.

Seeing Wang Shufuyuan crying breathlessly, as if he was about to faint, Li Ze just watched coldly, he wanted to see what tricks this old fox had to open his eyes.

Li Ze was silent, and the others, including the little emperor, were naturally silent, so only Wang Shu's hoarse voice echoed at the city gate.

Wang Shu cried for a long time, and then realized that something was wrong, why didn't anyone come to persuade me? Why isn't there anyone to pull me along?

Through the teary hazy eyes, he secretly glanced at the little emperor.

The little emperor's face was expressionless.

Look at Li Ze again.

Li Ze tilted his head with a playful expression.

Well, that's to embarrass yourself.

With Wang Shu in his heart, he immediately stopped crying, turned around, and bowed to Li Ze.

"Thanks to Li Xiang's efforts to turn the tide, His Majesty's coffin finally returned to Chang'an. The minister who has endured humiliation and burdens over the years has finally looked forward to today. ”

Looking at Wang Shu, who was prostrate on the ground, landing on the ground with his forehead, and pouting his buttocks, Li Ze was not only speechless.

The skin is really thicker than the walls of Chang'an City.

"In this way, Wang Zhongshu has been working hard in Datang to return to Chang'an all these years?" He chuckled.

"Not bad!" Wang Shu straightened up and said righteously: "When Tian Lingzi left, Chen Bi died in battle, Wang Shu was alone, in order to protect Chang'an from being poisoned, he could only worship the tiger with his body. But after all, the old minister is a minister, please Your Majesty, Li Xiang is guilty! ”

Li Ze smiled slightly, this is the meat!

But right now, it's really not the time to hold this guy accountable, Zhao Xi, Gou Rong, Wu Hou The army of these people still needs to be reorganized, and the nobles, families, and business gentry in the city are all staring at each other, there is no doubt that these people are all headed by Wang Shu, and they are all looking at how they deal with Wang Shu.

Stability is the most important thing right now.

As for the rest, next, take your time, don't rush.
