Qujiang Pool was deserted, and the city of Chang'an quickly regained its vitality. At the moment, both of them have nothing to do, so they simply wander around Chang'an City.

With Li Xiujing holding his hand, Pei Jiaoran looked as usual, "Those people yesterday were Liu Dexin's generals, right? Why do you still keep them?"

"I need a suitable reason." Li Xiujing smiled slightly, "You know. I took Liu Dexin's soldiers and horses by force. They all knew the inside story of that day. But in the situation at that time, many people were killed. One was a little more trouble. That’s why I kept them until now.”

"There may be another reason. Liu Dexin is Zhang Rang's man. You are worried that he will compete with you for credit in the future." Pei Jiaoran picked up the slipping silk and said in a deep voice: "This method is not very good. But the matter is already like this, Give as many rewards as possible to those in Liu Dexin’s camp.”

Li Xiujing smiled and said: "This is natural. Speaking of Jiajia, did you mention Ziweixing on the dew cloth?"

"Yes. Counting the days, Lu Zheng should be arriving in Liangzhou soon. Your Majesty should be very satisfied with the current situation." Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and smiled, his eyes sharp as ever.

He squeezed Pei Jiaoran's hand, gently passed it through the fingers like yesterday, and interlocked with her slender fingers. He knew this was the best answer she gave him after careful consideration. The first success in regaining Chang'an can be attributed to Shen Ce, but a little external force must be added. Otherwise, looking at this skill with an emperor's mind will definitely lead to many thoughts.

Thinking of the hand he held last night, how it obeyed his will. In the darkness, he was able to taste the joy that he had been shy and intolerable in the past, and the tide of love finally fell into the hands of the two of them. The smile on Li Xiujing's lips gradually deepened.

"Why are you laughing?" Pei Jiaoran glanced at Li Xiujing, who was holding back a smile.

"It's nothing. I just feel that maybe I haven't read enough books." Li Xiujing raised her eyebrows, "I will definitely make Jiajia satisfied with me next time."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran stopped in his steps and smiled in his eyes. His lips and teeth moved, "Indulgence will harm your body."

Without saying a word, Pei Jiaoran quickly pulled away and left. The warm wind stirred the clothes. Li Xiujing, who was stranded on the street, smiled helplessly and moved to chase after him.

After traveling day and night, Lu Zheng and others finally arrived in Liangzhou.

As soon as he heard about this, Emperor Wei immediately ordered the prince and the officials accompanying him in Liangzhou to go to the city gate to greet the envoy reporting the victory.

After leading the sergeants to dismount a few steps away, Lu Zheng stepped forward and helped Lan Xianren off his horse. The blue fairy raised his head and walked towards the prince holding the cloth.

Looking at the Blue Immortal walking towards him, displeasure flashed in the prince's eyes. He accepted everyone's greetings with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand to give Lan Xianren a hand.

"My dear friends, you have had a hard time on this trip. Come with me to see His Majesty." The prince said warmly.

Surrounded by the ministers and accompanied by the prince, Lan Xianren entered Liangzhou City holding the dew cloth in hand. People crowded on both sides of the street, rushing to look around.

He realized that everyone was looking at him. The Blue Immortal couldn't help but raise his head and chest high, and his pace quickened unknowingly.

Seeing Lan Xianren's appearance, Jia Gonglu was surprised and said: "Didn't the Shence Army capture Chang'an first? Why did Lan Xianren and General Lu come to report the victory?"

The prince glanced at Jia Gonglu from the corner of his eye, and the smile on his face faded slightly.

He didn't believe it when he said that there was no one behind the Blue Immortal.

In the palace. Emperor Wei was sitting on the throne, with Zhang Rang looking solemn beside him.

"Chang'an reports victory!"

After getting permission from Emperor Wei, the prince led everyone inside.

When seeing the blue fairy. Surprise flashed in Emperor Wei's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. His voice trembled slightly, "Bring the cloth up to me quickly. Zhang asked you to get it yourself."

"Here."

Zhang asked Ying Nuo to walk towards Lan Xianren. He took the cloth, held it in both hands and presented it to Emperor Wei.

Slowly unfolding the cloth, the smile in Emperor Wei's eyes deepened, and he said: "I have cleared the palace and only visited the garden. The bells will not move, and the temple will remain the same."

When he saw the last sentence, Emperor Wei looked at Lan Xianren.

"Why did Lan Xianren come to Liangzhou?" Emperor Wei asked with a smile.

"One night I looked at the sky and saw the purple stars in the east, which means that there is a king's energy in the east. I thought that Shence's army was stationed in Bashang. Since the purple stars were in the east, it must be blessed by the king's energy. So I thought of a way to start from Taiji Palace escaped and waited for the opportunity to see Master Wang." Lan Xianren took a deep breath and said, "I heard that Marshal Li wanted to invite General Lu to report his victory. So I begged General Li to let a certain person accompany him."

After the words fell, the smile on Emperor Wei's face deepened. However, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

At first glance, it seemed that Lan Xianren did not think of these words himself, but most likely came from Pei Jiaoran's instruction.

With his thoughts at this point, Emperor Wei thought of the first time he met Pei Jiaoran. It was difficult for him to associate her with the memorial, every word of which was a plea for the people. After that, she began to deviate from his initial impression of her, and gradually climbed onto the chessboard of power, becoming a force that cannot be ignored.

Emperor Wei sighed in his heart. Pei Jiaoran, a young man, gave him too many surprises and even made him feel his own aging. From the eve of the Jingyuan mutiny, he almost watched how this young man strategized and led Wang Yu into the trap she carefully set.

He watched Pei Jiaoran complete the emotional separation between Hanmen and the host, flawlessly, without any burden of worldly feelings. He heard rumors from the same state about how this young man used the imperial power he had given her to exert political pressure and bring the local wealthy families to his side. Then she used her grasp of local facts and control of the interests of various companies to implement political reciprocity between the two parties, completing her springboard to the center. Step by step, he consolidates the power in his hands and peels off the shackles of his master. However, in just one and a half years, this young man has become a force that cannot be ignored in the central government, and at the same time he has swallowed up part of the political resources that originally belonged to the family.

Now he even felt that Yan Lingyao and Qin Huaiyi's rebellion had something to do with Pei Jiaoran. After this disaster, no matter how you look at it, Pei Jiaoran seems to be the biggest beneficiary. And he thought he was not the only one to see it, everyone in the game was keenly aware of this. It's just that under her operation, many people have shared the benefits. Now that the Dugujun Rebellion has come to an end, only Qin Huaiyi and Cai Xilie are still resisting. Perhaps within a few days, power will be concentrated in the center.

Emperor Wei looked down at the cloth on the case again. This young man is too flamboyant and too rational. He knew that she had rejected the prince's solicitation last time, but she did not make her position clear. He really wanted to see clearly what this young Minister of the Ministry of Finance wanted to do.

"I will reward those who have contributed to the restoration of Chang'an." Emperor Wei looked at Lu Zheng and said, "This trip is hard, you can go down and rest."

"Here."

"You all should stand down." Emperor Wei said warmly.

Everyone retreated as told.

When he was the only one left in the palace, Emperor Wei held up the dew cloth again. Walking into the sunshine, the fear and sadness that enveloped my body disappeared at this moment.

He can finally return to Chang'an, which he has been away from for a long time, and completely end the danger of turmoil in the Nine Temples. Those who have meritorious service will naturally be rewarded. As for the perpetrators and the instigators, they should all have their own fate.

Qing history has now turned a new page. The blood flowing in Heshuo and the northwest of Chang'an has long been reduced to old stains, but with the gradual gathering of power, bright red annotations will be left on it.

Emperor Wei squeaked lightly. He has already thought about how to determine the division of credit this time.
