Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 383 Those who cannot be used by me will be killed!

"Jingheng, please let me go out for a walk."

"No, considering your current condition, I think it's better for you to stay in the carriage."

"But I can't stay any longer."

Cheng Chumo looked melancholy.

Compared to three days ago, his condition was obviously much better, and he no longer had that groggy feeling.

However, I still feel weak.

It was because of this that, at Su Chen's request, he stayed in the carriage.

Otherwise, with Cheng Chumo's weak body, if he caught a cold and had an accident in the Western Regions, it would be difficult to explain.

You can't just say to Cheng Zhijie when you see him, "I'm sorry, your son died in the Western Regions because he played too much,"

If this gets out, tut tut tut...

"Mr. Su..."

"Okay, stop shouting. We will reach Loulan in one stick of incense. Once we get there, you can go out and walk around."

Li Jingheng interrupted Cheng Chumo's shouting and reminded him, "Brother Su is also considering your safety, right? If something really goes wrong for you, it will be difficult to explain if we go back."

Cheng Chu sighed silently and lay weakly in the carriage.

"I knew that the women from Jingjue Country had bad intentions. For the entire night, more than a dozen girls pressed me down on the bed..."

Cheng Chumo's voice was filled with helplessness and bitterness of being unable to resist fate. "More than a dozen of them! They won't even let me rest!"

"Even if it's a breeding pig, you can't do this!"

Li Jingheng was overjoyed.

Fortunately, he and Su Chen realized something was wrong and hid immediately!

If they really fell into the gentle trap set by the Queen of Jingjue, they would definitely be exhausted like Cheng Chumo.

As the team arrived in Loulan.

Su Chen and others also got out of the carriage one after another. Taking a look at Cheng Chumo who was wrapped tightly, Su Chen couldn't help but smile.

"Son."

Wang Xuance and Xue Li were already waiting outside the city gate. When they saw Su Chen and others returning, they hurried forward to greet them.

Su Chen: "Have E Jiao and the others set off yet?"

When he was on his way to the Kingdom of Jingjue, E Jiao began to organize the people who were willing to go to the Tang Dynasty to pack up their things. Calculating the time, they had already set off for the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Li nodded. "Loulan Saint and others have already set out. We have arranged two hundred elite soldiers to protect them. At the same time, General Guo has received the news and has sent people to meet them. There shouldn't be any mistakes."

Those who are willing to leave with Ejiao are those who are inclined towards her to a certain extent.

Even if there are some people with ulterior motives among these people, they cannot make much waves under the suppression of two hundred elite soldiers.

"General Xue has arranged for a general named Zhou Xun to come here. He will take over our control of Loulan."

Xue Li continued, "Sir, would you like to meet General Zhou?"

"Let's meet."

Su Chen smiled and said, "After handing Loulan over to him, we can return to Chang'an."

"Where are they?"

"I am in the government office, please follow me, young master."

Government office.

Zhou Xun was dealing with some trivial matters with a heavy head.

Compared with civil administration, he prefers fighting on the battlefield, but unfortunately, among all the people under General Xue's command, he is considered to be the one who handles civil administration relatively well.

It was for this reason that Xue Wanche picked a tall person among the short ones and assigned him here.

"Sir, Mr. Su is here."

"Mr. Su?"

Zhou Xun stood up suddenly and walked out with a happy face, "Come on, follow me to meet Mr. Su."

As soon as Su Chen walked into the government office, he heard Zhou Xun's welcome.

"Mr. Su, you are finally back."

Zhou Xun said with a smile, "You have been in Jingjue Kingdom for a few days, but I am worried about all the trivial government affairs. It is really a headache."

"Then you'll have a lot of worries in the future."

Su Chen chuckled, "I came here to tell you that we are going back to Chang'an."

"what?"

Zhou Xun was stunned, "Mr. Su is going back to Chang'an?"

Su Chen nodded, "The crown prince will ascend the throne soon, it's time to go back and take a look."

Zhou Xun immediately understood. Even if the crown prince had not ascended the throne, as long as the Western Regions were stable and the Turks were destroyed, there would be no need for Su Chen.

"Then I'll be miserable."

Zhou Xun smiled bitterly, "I thought Mr. Su was back, so I could ask for advice and handle government affairs more conveniently."

Su Chen smiled and said, "No need to be so troublesome."

Zhou Xun looked pleased, "Please teach me, Mr. Su."

Su Chen: "Whether it is Loulan or other kingdoms, they have all submitted to the Tang Dynasty. What you need to do now is to stabilize people's livelihood."

"Aren't there still many officials in Loulan who haven't left?"

"Just leave it to them."

"After the new year at the latest, the imperial court will arrange for someone to take over, so you only need to stay here for two months."

Zhou Xun suddenly realized.

That's right.

There are still many officials in Loulan who have not left. Letting them handle these matters is undoubtedly the simplest and most worry-free thing to do.

However, Zhou Xun said softly: "If these people cause trouble privately..."

Su Chen raised his lips slightly: "How many soldiers do you have?" Zhou Xun: "I brought two thousand elite soldiers with me this time."

Su Chen: "How many troops are there in Loulan?"

hiss!
Zhou Xun understood what Su Chen meant.

He still has 2,000 elite soldiers at his disposal. Loulan can barely muster 500 soldiers at most. Does he still need to worry about those officials causing trouble?

As long as they dare to commit evil acts and destabilize people's livelihood, just kill them and replace them!
"Thank you Mr. Su for your advice."

Su Chen waved his hand.

It doesn't matter whether they are given instructions or not, they are just still limited by their own moral constraints.

"In troubled times, use heavy codes."

"It has been like this since ancient times!"

"If I can use them, they are talents. If I can't use them, it's no pity to kill them."

Zhou Xun nodded heavily.

Afterwards, he asked some more questions about other things in the city before he sent Su Chen out of the government office with satisfaction.

With Su Chen's guidance, the situation was finally cleared. He believed that with the two thousand elite soldiers in his hands, he would be able to manage the Kingdom of Loulan in an orderly manner.

Two days later.

With Zhou Xun's farewell, Su Chen and others took a carriage and set off back to Chang'an!
After enduring the days of weakness, Cheng Chumo felt refreshed and as if he had let go.

"Mr. Su, it's such a nice day now, why don't you come out and enjoy the snow?"

"Jingheng, would you please come out and ride with me?"

"..."

Su Chen looked at Li Jingheng standing aside, and pursed his lips at Cheng Chumo outside, "Is this guy crazy?"

Logically speaking, even if there is a problem, it should be the cerebellum, not the cerebrum.

Li Jingheng chuckled, "Maybe it's because he hasn't seen the vast world for a long time, and was suddenly brought into a new world by those girls from Jingjue Country, so he became so crazy, right?"

Su Chen: "That makes sense."

Being raped and ravaged by more than a dozen girls in turn is a situation that not everyone can endure.

"By the way, my sister sent me a letter yesterday."

"What did you say?"

"Let me keep an eye on you, don't let the Queen of Jingjue suck you dry."

"Bullshit!"

Su Chen rolled his eyes.

Li Jingheng laughed loudly, and his laughter dissipated in the wind on the official road.

……

Chang'an City.

The dispute over whether Su Chen is a butcher or executioner continues.

However, as large amounts of gold, silver and jewelry were continuously transported from the Turks to Chang'an City, the voices clamoring for sanctions against Su Chen were gradually suppressed.

There was no way around it. The impact of cartloads of gold, silver and jewelry on the people was simply too great.

At the same time, the spread of the news of the crown prince's ascension to the throne also diverted most of the public's attention.

The most important thing is that it is said that when the prince ascends the throne this time, His Majesty will crown him personally!
This is extremely exciting for many spectators.

When the Xuanwu Gate Incident happened, Li Yuan stayed in the Da'an Palace and never cared about Li Shimin's ascension to the throne.

Now, Crown Prince Li Chengqian replicated Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate Incident, but unlike Li Yuan, Li Shimin personally came forward to crown the crown prince.

This can't help but make people curious.

Why did Li Yuan always dislike Li Shimin after he killed his brother and forced his father, but it was different for Li Chengqian?
There are even quite a few scholars who talk about this matter and express their own opinions.

It was because the crown prince swept across the Western Regions and destroyed the Turks after he came to power that this achievement in expanding territory made Li Shimin change his attitude towards Li Chengqian.

East Palace.

The Minister of Rites is reminding Li Chengqian about his ascension to the throne.

Li Chengqian couldn't say how excited or happy he was about ascending the throne; everything seemed to happen naturally.

What he cared about was whether he could surpass what Li Shimin had done.

"Your Highness, Liangzhou has sent us news that Master Su has already left Liangzhou and will arrive in Chang'an in a few days."

"Well, I know."

Li Chengqian nodded and turned his gaze to the Minister of Rites beside him, "Master Dou, do you have anything else to say?"

Dou Lukuan smiled and said, "Your Highness only needs to remember these."

Li Chengqian: "Thank you, Master Dou."

Dou Lukuan: "Your Highness, your words are too kind. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Master Dou, take care."

Li Chengqian smiled and sent Dou Lukuan out of the palace.

Retracting his gaze, Li Chengqian tilted his head and asked, "How are the preparations for the announcement going?"

Tiancai: "Your Highness, Lord Duan is working hard. I think he can prepare everything he needs before the crown prince ascends the throne."

Li Chengqian nodded. Tiancai glanced at Li Chengqian and said again, "Cen Wenzhao sent a message, hoping to return to Chang'an City when the crown prince ascends the throne."

Li Chengqian: "Why didn't Cen Wenben tell us about this?"

Tiancai: "This is the message that Cen Wenzhao sent to the Eastern Palace. He hopes to take this opportunity to return to Chang'an City to visit his mother."

Li Chengqian immediately laughed, "Back then, he didn't care about these etiquettes, which gave father a headache."

"I never thought that after being in Brother Su's hands for a while, I would become so polite."

"Tell him I've got it."

"Summon Pei Mingli, the Minister of Revenue, to the palace for an audience."
