Unlike these people, there was one person who did not return, and that was King Shu Li Ke.
This guy was implicated because his son rebelled early. After hearing about the situation in Chang'an City, he felt relieved. Fortunately, he did not get involved. If he had, he might have spent the rest of his life in the palace.
Of course, judging from past experience, he will definitely be released after a while, but how long this period will be depends on Li Shimin's mood. Li Shimin is angry now, so even if someone wants to plead for you, that is absolutely not allowed.
As the saying goes, "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise." This is what happened. King Li Ge of Shu was very sad. After all, he also wanted to return to the capital. Unfortunately, God gave him a chance and did not let him get involved in this matter frequently. This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
Concubine Yang also sent people over, and Li Ge also met with the people around Concubine Yang in his own palace.
Chief Steward Liu carefully explained the situation in the capital. There was a reason why Concubine Yang sent this person here. It was possible that her son was also related to these people. If this was really the case, all the clues must be cut off before the emperor's investigators arrived. You must know that the investigation has not yet ended, and many people from the Five Surnames and Seven Families are still being pursued.
"Your Highness, I have said everything I need to say. If you have nothing else to say, I will return to Chang'an City tomorrow. I cannot stay here any longer. There are too many people watching the palace right now. If I show up here, many things will be difficult to say."
If it wasn't for the fact that it was getting dark, after saying all these things, Manager Liu would have wanted to set off overnight. After hearing this, Li Ge felt very uncomfortable and wanted to ask more about his mother. He hadn't been back to Chang'an for a long time, so he even wanted to ask about his father's health.
Unfortunately, some things can't be done according to one's own temperament. Although this palace is his own, the second son's rebellion was kept so secret, but in the end, the emperor still found out, didn't he? Fortunately, the emperor was very perceptive and found out that this matter had nothing to do with him. He only dragged out the second son's entire family and beheaded them.
"Master Liu, please go down and rest first. I have written a letter to my mother. You can take it back tomorrow morning when you set off. I have no ties to these people in the court. After arriving in Chengdu, I will live a life that can withstand scrutiny. Although these sons below are mischievous, there are some things they dare not get involved in. Please rest assured, Master Liu."
Li Ge understood what his mother meant. He might not be able to do it himself. If such a thing really happened, Chief Steward Liu had a group of people lying in ambush outside the city. He could just order Chief Steward Liu to do it then. After all, in this era, even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. But if you don't chop off these troublemaking sons now, the fire may burn you at any time. Once it burns you, it will not be so easy for you to put out the fire.
"I obey your order. I will withdraw."
Manager Liu carefully looked at his eldest young master and found that his face was very upright, which meant that he had not lied about this matter. If this was the case, there was nothing to worry about. The entire capital was in a panic, and people were afraid that the young people in their families would be involved in this matter.
The main reason is that these young people are too simple-minded and haven't figured out many things yet. They are likely to be lured in by the Five Surnames and Seven Families. Young people are very passionate and will lose their analytical ability if they are given a little pointer by others. They always think they can contribute to the family.
But after analyzing it later, not only did it not add bricks and tiles to the family, but it brought the family to an extremely dangerous situation. If it weren't for you guys messing around, how could the whole family have come to this point? Thinking of his brothers, King Shu Li Ke didn't say anything.
Annan Protectorate
After finishing the business in Chang'an City, Li Chengyi arrived at the Annan Protectorate as quickly as possible. He would be stationed here for half a year. During this half year, General Moren would return to Chang'an and reunite with his family for some time.
According to General Moren's original plan, it would be enough for his deputy general to be stationed here, and there was no need for Li Xiang to send a general here. However, because of the slave incident, many people in the entire army were dealt with. General Moren also dealt with more than a dozen low-level officers in his own team. Moreover, the situation is still complicated, and no one dares to say what kind of trouble will arise.
Under such circumstances, Li Xiang proposed that Li Chengyi come and garrison for half a year. General Moren agreed without thinking. Li Chengyi had shown his talent when he was in the northwest. After arriving in Annan, he didn't need to be taught many things. He knew very well how to deal with this matter, and General Moren could leave more comfortably.
Now the Annan Protectorate's ruling area is very large. The three countries in the former Southeast Peninsula are all under the rule of the Annan Eastern Protectorate. Moreover, thanks to the efforts of the navy, Luzon Island has also been included in our ruling area. We are currently still waging war on some islands in the south of Luzon Island.
"The general has been very busy lately, expanding our territory at sea."
Looking at the sand table of the general's mansion, Li Chengyi was also very impressed. Although the northwest had gained a lot of land, it was far inferior to the land here and was not on the same level at all.
Today is still an agricultural age. Although Li Xiang has brought many places into the commercial age, people still look at the usefulness of a piece of land based on how much agricultural products it can produce. If the output is high, then the land is naturally very useful. If it is impossible to grow crops, then what is the use of the land? In their view, it is purely a burden.
The rice around Annan can almost be harvested three times a year, and a large amount of grain can be transported to the Tang Empire every year. In particular, Li Xiang has super rice with a very large yield per mu.
Let’s look at Li Chengyi’s side. He is almost reaching the capital of the Arab Empire. How many places can produce grain there?
