People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 953 Returning to Jingyang

Sitting down beside Li Shimin, Empress Changsun said, "You don't know about your own daughter? Do you think Lizhi has no plans for herself?"

Li Shimin took a sip of wine and his confused eyes cleared up a lot, "I still remember that when Li Zheng rejected the concubine's room, he left the matter of the concubine's room to Li Zhi and let her be the master."

Empress Changsun nodded and said, "There are also two girls beside Lizhi, so is your daughter not prepared?"

Li Shimin was silent for a while, thinking about the words of Empress Changsun, thinking that what he said was right, the current beauty is not the same as before.

Now that Lizhi controls the entire business in Jingyang, Li Mengchang introduced to Li Zheng that Li Xun is indeed a beautiful woman.

Li Zheng is not a womanizer.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin was relieved a lot.

After eating, Li Shimin no longer had this worry, and then dealt with the memorial.

Half a month after Li Meng met Li Zheng, the people sent by the court to Zhao County to investigate the case also saw Duan Lun.

Duan Lun looked at the few officials in front of him, and handed over all the evidence collected these days to these officials of Dali Temple.

"Leave the next thing to us? You two have worked hard for a year, and it's time to go back and get your reward."

Dai Xing, who spoke, was the nephew of the previous Minister of Dali Temple.

Seeing these officials busy, Shangguanyi was still worried, and said in a low voice, "Brother Duan, can these people be trusted?"

Duan Lun packed his bags and was ready to go back to Chang'an. He said to Shangguanyi: "Let's leave the rest of the matter to the court. We can't interfere anymore. From the beginning, it was His Majesty who wanted to deal with the five surnames. This step has finished Li Zheng's work, and our work has also been done."

Standing up, Duan Lun said to Shangguanyi again: "As for what the court wants to achieve, it's His Majesty's business and has nothing to do with us."

Shangguanyi nodded after listening and didn't say anything more.

Three days after packing up, Shangguanyi and Duan Lun walked back to Chang'an with the patrolling officers and soldiers.

Just a few miles away, several angry scholars came up to curse.

An egg hit Duan Lun's face.

Duan Lun stopped the officers and soldiers who were about to arrest them and said, "Let's go, don't worry about them."

Seeing Duan Lun wiping the egg liquid on his face in embarrassment, Shangguanyi smiled bitterly and said, "Look, we have done so much, and the scholars don't thank us at all."

Duan Lun got back on his horse and said, "We don't need their thanks."

Shangguan Yichang sighed and said leisurely: "The future era will be better for scholars, but scholars will hate us to the bone, and even scold us in the history books. The infamy in the history books will definitely be ugly."

The inspection team was still walking slowly, and arrived in Luoyang after half a month's walk, and there was also no good face in Luoyang.

Even the post station in Luoyang was unwilling to entertain patrol officers and soldiers.

Everyone had to camp in the wild.

Shangguanyi looked at the burning bonfire, "Do you think we will be rewarded or punished when we arrive at the court?"

Duan Lun remained silent and did not answer.

The team marched for another month and finally reached the boundary of Chang'an.

It was already evening on the official road, and there was still one day's journey to Chang'an. Duan Lun asked the team to stop and rest, and they will enter Chang'an tomorrow.

Eating the dry food in his hand, Shangguanyi looked at a village in the distance, which was quite quiet.

The population looks small, only one or two hundred households.

While eating, Duan Lun saw a figure walking towards here.

The other party did not hold a torch either, it should be a nearby villager.

Shangguanyi didn't care either.

The team sat lazily around the bonfire, and their hearts were agitated along the way.

The ghost knows what is waiting for him when he arrives in Chang'an.

Finally, the figure came close, and Shangguanyi finally saw the person clearly by the moonlight, and he didn't recognize him for a while.

Daniel smiled and said, "Brother Shangguan, don't you know me?"

Hearing this voice, Shangguanyi suddenly stood up and looked at the person in front of him and said, "Are you a big cow?"

Daniel nodded and said, "I haven't seen you for two years."

Shangguanyi looked him up and down and said, "Are you already this tall?"

Daniel said: "In the past two years, I have indeed grown a lot taller. I only came back from the Western Regions a month ago."

Shangguanyi said again: "Have you blocked the cannibal?"

Da Niu nodded and said, "It's blocked, it's a bit dangerous, but it's finally a success."

Shangguanyi nodded reassuringly, "It's good that nothing happened."

Daniel looked at the team in front of him and said: "The teacher asked me to pick you up, and you can go back to Jingyang now."

Shangguanyi looked at Daniel, "Don't you need to meet Your Majesty?"

"Let's talk about it after meeting His Majesty. Nowadays, there are many children of five surnames in Chang'an criticizing you. Thousands of children from aristocratic families who came to Chang'an from the five surnames are scolding every day. The atmosphere in Chang'an is very bad. If you enter at this time In Chang'an City, the scene will get out of control."

After listening to his words, Shangguanyi kept nodding, "You make sense."

Seeing Shangguanyi talking with others, Duan Lun also walked over.

Duan Lun knew Daniel, but he didn't know him.

It's just that every time he went to Jingyang, Duan Lun felt upset.

Shangguanyi said again: "Brother Duan, let's go to Jingyang first."

Duan Lun glanced at Daniel, but nodded in agreement.

After listening to Daniel explaining the current situation in Chang'an, Duan Lun really didn't want to enter Chang'an City at this time.

The two followed Daniel and left the team.

When it was dawn the next day, they didn't wait for the two to come back.

The inspecting censor left, and the inspecting team stood here at a loss for a while.

When Wang Ding brought people to meet the inspection team, he found that Shangguanyi and Duan Lun were gone.

I heard from someone in the team that he left with one person and didn't return overnight.

Wang Ding asked people to search nearby, but they couldn't find where the person was.

I had no choice but to take this team back to Chang'an first.

Jingyang
After a good night's rest, Duan Lun and Shangguanyi began to gobble up food.

After Shangguanyi was full, she stopped eating.

Duan Lun was still gnawing on a chicken leg.

Li Zheng looked at Duan Lun who was still eating and said, "Eat slowly, it's not your last meal."

Duan Lun took a sip of soup and heaved a sigh of relief, "Chang'an Ling, you don't know that we really can't eat well or sleep well in the boundary of the five surnames."

Li Zheng patted Duan Lun on the back and said, "Thank you."

Duan Lun choked up while talking, looked at Li Zheng and said, "Will His Majesty come to Jingyang to arrest the two of us?"

Li Zheng thought about it and said, "Probably not."

Duan Lun asked again: "Then Chang'an Ling won't beat me up now, right?"

Li Zheng touched the stubble of his chin and said, "This is really bad."
