After a quick war, all the gates of Chang'an City returned to the bustling crowds of people. Outside the Jinguang Gate in the west of the city, it was not the time when the most people entered and left the city at rush hour in the morning and evening, but caravans from Helong and even Western Regions flocked into the city. These people also brought about the sporadic wars that happened in the west, such as Tubo invading the border but was defeated by the Helong border army. Anxi and Beiting were also as stable as Mount Tai. In short, they were all good news that made people excited. When several soldiers released a caravan and were discussing the re-support in the palace yesterday, someone suddenly saw smoke and dust rolling in the distance.

"Another horse team"

"Why are there so many businessmen today?"

The team led by the team was muttering, but when they looked up, they found something was wrong, and immediately spoke out and ordered: "There are troops coming, hurry up, prepare to resist the horse first."

When the team of soldiers gradually approached, it was clear that they were the name of the Jiedushi Jiedushi, that is, the Jiedushi of Anxi Town, and everyone still did not dare to neglect them. Although they knew that these soldiers and horses must have been tested countless times along the way, they still went forward to check carefully. When the team was clearly seeing the word Du, he immediately raised his head and looked at the young general in charge.

"Is General Du coming?"

Du Guangyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he was called Little General Du. In the past few years in the Western Regions, he has gradually gained a foothold and gained a lot of reputation with his martial arts and military strategies. However, this is not good for his father's reputation. If you want to say the word Du in Chang'an, then everyone thinks of only one, that is his father Du Shiyi

However, this muttering came and went faster. Thinking of the reason why he rushed back to Chang'an from Kucha Town this time, he nodded slightly to the team in a friendly manner. When the other party immediately ordered to give way, he clamped his legs and made his mount trot. After finally turning along Chunming Street into Xuanyangfang, he saw the familiar doorstep, and he unconsciously rode his horse and ran a few steps.

"The husband is back"

Du Guangyuan greeted the doorman who was coming out with a tense face, but then got off the horse and rushed in. When Du Shiyi received Longquan's message, Du Guangyuan had already pushed open the door of the study and broke in. He gently gestured to Longquan. After the person left, he saw that Du Guangyuan was different from the recklessness when he entered the door. He stood there in the same place and his face changed. After he hesitated for a long time, he quickly came to him.

"Grandpa."

After leaving my father for a long time, he fought a big battle in the Western Regions. His father led his troops to quell the rebellion. Du Guangyuan couldn't help but kneel down on his knees and bow four times before he raised his head and said, "Grandpa, I'm back."

"I'm afraid it was not Gao Xianzhi who asked you to come back first, but you asked to come back by yourself?" Du Shiyi asked back with a smile. Seeing that the eldest son was silent, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on his already generous and strong shoulder. "Last time I hit Xiao Bolu from Gao Xianzhi, and this time I followed him to the Shi Kingdom. You have seen a person with a big battle, why are you still so uneasy?"

"What I experienced was only a battlefield fight, and what my grandfather experienced was the real danger. After making such a great contribution, he would be suspicious of others. He almost died several times and died again." Du Guangyuan said this, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to ask, "Grandma, when I arrived in Jincheng County, I heard that the court was releasing a new king. Is this true?"

"You came back just right. I just decided yesterday. It was King Ying Li Zi."

Seeing that his father was as plain as eating and drinking, Du Guangyuan didn't know what to say. After all, he was a general who had been guarding outside for many years. After calming down, he whispered: "If the grandfather is willing, he will use the merit of suppressing the rebellion and his reputation as a worldly person, just by killing Prince Yisu and his son, the three of them can easily manipulate the candidate for the new king, but he has to do such a hard work to stage such a big show of recommendation. It must have another purpose, right?"

"Yes, I finally made progress. I thought you were so angry that you would ask me why I didn't take this great opportunity to achieve great things."

Du Shiyi laughed, then stood up, but pulled Du Guangyuan, who was kneeling on the ground. Looking at the burly figure of the eldest son who was still taller than him, he just said with his hands behind his back: "The most taboo thing for those who are ministers is to be omnipotent and have no personal morality. If your mother had not been the name of a jealous woman, I was afraid of being joked about what I fear, and to live in a remote place in the north of the desert and gathering strength away from the center of power, I will be today. Therefore, at all times, remember that governing a big country is like cooking a small freshman, and a small unbearable plan will be chaotic. Your Majesty has lost all the hearts of the people, but the Li Tang royal family has not lost all the hearts of the people."

"So, is the grandfather using this recommendation to reveal his ugly appearance in the royal family?"

"Yes, once I step back, others will think that I am noble and noble, and I can manage Hebei calmly and accumulate reputation. In this way, Hebei, Hedong, Shuofang and even Anbei can be connected together. After collecting the four prefectures of Zihai and Qing, Denglai, there will be the best sea outlet, and the south sea route can be connected with Jiangnan."

Du Guangyuan's temper was gone and his eyes became brighter and brighter: "When King Ying was not what everyone expected, but the royal family that had raised his sons from the shorts and competed for the throne with him, such as King Nanyang, King Yi, King Sheng, and even the rest of the royal family with a lot of votes. Everyone was dissatisfied with them, and he would also have a grudge against these brothers and nephews. If anyone who was thinking about the saints provoked it, it would easily turn into turmoil and purge. However, King Ying had no foundation, he would easily be suspicious of ministers, and even valued eunuchs, etc., which were all very likely."

"Yes, if God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy. This is very appropriate for Li Longji. Whether it is appropriate for Li Zi depends on his own ability. However, His Majesty has kept his children and grandchildren like cattle and sheep for so many years. The prince still has great scholars to teach classics and history. As for other hopes and qualifications, it is simply too demanding. Moreover, King Ying is cautious, but unfortunately, he has no good son. Thinking about his sons who were all trying hard to sway flags and shout for his father, he could not even restrain him. After he ascended the throne, there would be bloody storm for the candidates of the Eastern Palace."

Du Shiyi took a light breath and then said loudly: "But when I go back, the people and affairs in the court cannot be left behind. Qi Chao rose up because of Gao Lishi and declined because of Gao Lishi. He is talented, but he is also looked down upon because of his attachment to eunuchs. He was the position of Minister of Personnel. If everyone is looking at me, he will not hold my thighs tightly, and he will have to wait for others to kick him down. As for others, the same is true for others, especially those who are attached to the Eastern Palace. This time, he encountered unprecedented heavy setbacks, so he could only ask for my protection. Therefore, Youlin will still stay in this central dangerous place."

Du Guangyuan could understand all the previous words, but when he heard that his younger brother stayed in Chang'an, which seemed peaceful but was actually the most dangerous, he immediately objected: "Grandpa, how can you always let your brother take on these difficulties? I am Grandpa's eldest son, so I will stay in Chang'an and take charge."

"Brother, why should I compete with me? I may not be as good as you in marching and fighting, but I am very good at everything, but you will definitely not be as good as me."

With this voice, the door of the study was pushed open. Du Guangyuan looked back and saw that it was his younger brother. He immediately lowered his face and said, "Good and young, it's orderly, listen to me."

"Okay." Du Shiyi saw the two brothers glaring at me, but for the most difficult task, he could only drink to stop them. Then he explained, "The Flying Dragon Rider was formed by Youlin, and of course he was the only one who brought it to the end. Suddenly, Yishuai, just like changing generals in the army, was the most taboo. What's more, I'm old and can't wait for ten or eight years, and it's impossible to throw all my children and grandchildren thousands of miles away."

"Grandma..."

Seeing that the two sons were immediately flushed and both knelt in front of them, Du Shiyi couldn't help but smile, as if they were still in the corner, stretched out his hand and gently stroked their heads, and then said gently: "Brothers who fight tigers, father and son soldiers, Guo Ziyi has six sons and eight daughters, but I don't envy him, because your mother gave birth to two good sons and one good daughter for me."

Before they could speak, Du Shiyi continued, "Guangyuan, you don't have to go back to the Western Regions. Although Li Longji had previously appointed you as the deputy chief of Anxi, and the affairs of the Duke of the Military and Horse Envoy were refuted, Gao Xianzhi felt unhappy. The four towns in the Western Regions are important, but since I have laid a solid foundation in Beiting, I sent you there just to relieve my doubts and temper it at that time. There is no need to stay there. Since you are back, you will be transferred to Youzhou as the Duke of the Military and Horse Envoy. If I am not in Youzhou, you will stay as the governor."

Speaking of this, Du Guangyuan already understood that his father decided to bring himself by his side, inherit military power, and cultivate people's expectations. He looked at his younger brother with some anxiety, and saw Du Youlin looking at him, but he nodded with a smile. He didn't know what to say immediately, so he said after a while: "Grandma, I will definitely live up to expectations."

"Very good, this is my responsible son." Du Shiyi saw the anxiety and determination of his eldest son, and then said to Du Youlin, "Youlin, don't ignore it in the future, don't be afraid of people saying you're playing the show."

This is what reminds the assassination. Du Youlin immediately responded solemnly and reminded him: "Grandpa, officials from all prefectures and counties in Hebei..."

"After this disaster, the county chiefs of Hebei Provinces and counties have suffered a lot of casualties, and all survivors will be rewarded for merit and promoted to important positions. Most of them will not stay in Hebei. As for the vacancy, I have already put a list of them for Qichao, and he will do his best to do his best."

Perhaps many people on the list would be confused when they were transferred to Hebei, and they would even be surprised or happy. In addition to the affiliates he used back then, more people were talents he had secretly paid attention to over the years, as well as the people who were still alive in Yuwen Rong's bag. Even though many people are in their early sixties and are old, in this era, in their early sixties, I can still talk about young people crazy

Speaking of this, Du Shiyi took a step forward and put his two sons in his arms, then said word by word: "No matter how many achievements and reputations I have in the past, my grandfather is old, and the future is yours. Remember not only to work harder in the main business, but also to work harder at home, and give me more grandsons."
