I did evil in the feudal land, but I was called a virtuous king

"Ninth brother, I won't keep you as a guest in the palace anymore. The emperor has already been buried, so you should go back."

Li Xu couldn't wait to issue the eviction order. He must immediately spread the news of Li An'an's departure from Beijing. Once there is a disturbance, it will be difficult to deal with it.

Li An also didn't plan to stay in the capital for a long time, and said coldly: "Mother and Concubine Lan, I want to take them away."

"it's up to you."

Li Xu didn't care.

Li An turned his head to look at Eunuch An.

Eunuch An knelt down gratefully towards Li An, and took out a pack of poison that he had prepared long ago.

"My lord's kindness is appreciated by the old slave. It's just my lord. This old slave has served His Majesty all my life. I'm afraid that no one will be able to serve His Majesty well after His Majesty goes down, so this old slave will go with His Majesty."

After finishing speaking, Eunuch An drank the poison in one gulp, and so did the eunuchs and maids behind him.

Li An raised his head slightly and closed his eyes.

After a long time, he looked at the Empress Dowager: "Does the imperial grandmother want to leave together?"

"No, Ai's family has lived in this harem for a lifetime, and it would be uncomfortable to go to other places, so let's go.

Ann, take good care of your queen mother. "

"I would like to obey Yi's orders."

……

Chapter 456 The Old Emperor's True Intention

In the end, Li An left this sad place together with Empress Dowager Qi and Concubine Lan.

Li Xu thoughtfully prepared chariots, horses and guards for Li An. They said they were guards, but they were actually people who monitored Li An.

Li An didn't go back to Qingshui County directly, but separated from Li Xin and the others on the way.

There was one more thing he didn't do, and that was to pick up Princess Lanwei and go home with her.

Concubine Lan learned that Li An was going to the grassland to pick up Princess Lanwei, so she had to follow whatever she said.

Unable to resist, Li An had no choice but to take her along.

The guard in charge of monitoring told Li Xu the news, but Li Xu didn't stop him, but asked the guard to remind Li An that if he met Jin Ge on the road, he would take his men back.

As the new emperor ascends the throne, this time he will be lenient and generous, regardless of Jin Ge's fault!

He said he didn't want to care about it, but he wanted to care about it, but he didn't dare...

Save yourself the last trace of decency.

To pick up Lan Wei back, so Li An has prepared the carriage.

Li An and Concubine Lan sat together in the carriage, and Li An took out an unopened letter from his arms.

This letter was handed to Li An by Eunuch An when no one was around, and no one found it, and Li An had no chance to check it before.

He knew that this was the will of the old emperor.

"My son Li An, when you read this letter, you must have taken the empress out of the palace, and my father is ashamed of you for not being able to hand over the throne to you.

An'er, you don't have to worry about my death, it's just that my time has come, and no one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death.

When I was about to leave, the queen was by my side, and I was so relieved that I would die without regret.

It's just a pity that I can't watch this child Xuan Cheng grow up...

Forget it, don't mention these things.

How much is Li Xu, father knows better than anyone else that he will not be your opponent.

Jiangshan will come into your hands sooner or later, this is also fate.

An'er, I beg you one last time as a father, don't kill Li Xu.Xu Guogong and Xu Yue'er are his right-hand men, apart from these two, he is a complete useless person.

You can put him under house arrest until death, or you can demote him to a commoner, remember, don't take his life!

An'er, I'm leaving, I'm a great man, I'll leave it to you brothers. "

After reading the letter, Li An bit his lips lightly, his eyes were full of unwillingness: "Father, do you really care about him so much?"

Li An's chest rose and fell sharply, filled with endless anger.

Concubine Lan looked at Li An in surprise, and her gaze stayed on the letter in Li An's hand.

After a while, she asked: "My lord, is it convenient for me to read this letter?"

"Your Majesty, you can read it if you want." With that said, Li An handed the letter to Concubine Lan.

Lan Fei stared wide-eyed, just looking at the contents of the letter so carefully.

She was silent.

After a long time, Lan Fei folded the letter and put it back in the envelope.

Then, she smiled lightly and looked at Li An: "My lord thinks that His Majesty's intention is simply to favor Li Xu?"

"Father can't be partial to Li Xu." Li An replied decisively: "It's just that I can't figure it out. Why does Father care so much about Li Xu's life?"

"My lord, you are very wrong." Concubine Lan looked at Li An seriously.

"This king is wrong?" Li An was puzzled.

Concubine Lan nodded resolutely, and immediately met Li An's serious gaze: "What the late emperor cared about was not Li Xu's life or death, what he wanted to protect was your reputation.

He just doesn't want your lord to bear the eternal infamy of brotherhood, and he doesn't want even the slightest stain to appear in your regime! "

Li An was silent.

That's right, the royal father didn't care about Li Xu's life or death at all, he just didn't want to bear that eternal infamy.

However, I don't care about the so-called eternal infamy at all. People live for a hundred years, and they die when they die.

Even if it was the previous life, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, which one was not scolded by the people of later generations?

Insulting a holy name is nothing more than a false name!

"Lady Concubine Lan, is this really important? Is it really necessary to care about other people's opinions? Even if I am cautious all my life, my virtuous name will spread far and wide. But if it is passed on to future generations, I will also bear all kinds of stigma."

Li An sighed,

"How is this possible?" Lan Fei was a little disbelieving.

Li An smiled at Concubine Lan, and said slowly: "The history books are written by the victors, and only by belittling the former can the latter be highlighted."

Concubine Lan was silent, and after a while, she looked at Li An solemnly: "Then the prince will let it go..."

"If this is the royal father's last wish?" Li An murmured: "I will let him live, life is better than death!"

Silent all the way.

……

"My lord, a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared in front!" The groom nervously opened the curtain of the carriage, and looked at Li An in a panic.

"Soldier?" Li An frowned slightly, as if he had guessed something.

He asked the groom to put the carriage across the middle of the road.

"General, there is a carriage blocking the way ahead!" A general approached Jin Ge.

"carriage?"

"This subordinate will send someone to drive him away," the general said.

"Go and have a look." Jin Ge murmured, and took the lead in driving his horse over.

"Who is in front, dare to block my general's way?" The general came to the front of the formation and shouted loudly at Li An's carriage.

"General Jin, where are you going?" Li An's voice came from the carriage.

Hearing this, Jin Ge was overjoyed, got off his horse excitedly, and knelt down on one knee in front of the carriage: "The last general, Jin Ge, pay homage to the lord!"

"My lord? It's my lord!" Many soldiers were also surprised, but after a moment of daze, they all knelt down towards Li An in unison: "My lord!"

Li An lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground with worried faces, he showed a relieved smile.

"In such a hurry, are you looking for me?"

"I'll go to the capital and take the prince home!" Jin Ge's voice was firm.

"I'll take the prince home!" All the soldiers shouted in unison!

Li An suddenly understood why Li Xu suddenly gave in and begged for peace when he was in control of everything before.

Li An was also secretly glad that Jin Ge didn't follow them back to Qingshui County, and led his army to guard the grassland.

Otherwise, Li Xu might really have killed him and Li Xin at that time.

After all, both the southern border and the sea border are far away from the capital!

Nodding his head, Li An yelled at the soldiers: "You will go back to the grassland with the king, and then the king will take you home!"

"The last general takes orders!"

……

Under the leadership of Li An, the army turned around and returned to the grassland.

Li Xu, who was in the capital, was secretly relieved when he heard the news. At the same time, he quickly sent people to replace the guards in various parts of the northern border.

……

Li An and Lan Fei sat in the carriage, and Jin Ge rode beside the carriage, looking around vigilantly.

Suddenly, Lan Fei's slightly worried voice came from inside the carriage: "I wonder if Lan Wei has been wronged or bullied in the grassland?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Ge outside the carriage was stunned immediately, his eyes were full of confusion: "Wronged?"

His thoughts drifted away, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, it shouldn't be so...

Chapter 457 Don't Be Bullied

"Concubine Lan, don't worry, Lan Wei is my Li An's younger sister. If anyone dares to bully her, I, Li An, will never agree!" Li An's voice was determined, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

It looks like a little expert in protecting sisters.

Seeing this, Lan Fei became more and more grateful to Li An from the bottom of her heart.

……

On this day, Li An led his army through Fengyang Pass, and finally returned to the grassland.

Now a commercial road has been artificially stepped on the grassland, and this commercial road leads directly to the royal court of the original Rong people, which is the holy mountain of the Rong people.

It has only been more than a year since Li An destroyed the Rong clan and withdrew to Dahua.

The reason why the commercial road has been stepped out is mainly because the exchanges between Grassland and Dahua are becoming more and more frequent.

From time to time, cattle and sheep will be sent to Dahua through this road. In order not to kill the sheep completely, Dahua also pays a certain amount of compensation for these cattle and sheep sent to Dahua.

These were decisions made when the old emperor was alive.

Although the silver rewards given are not much, it will not let the people on the grassland starve to death.

The old emperor's benevolent government, his idea was to assimilate the tribes of the grassland on the premise of Li An's three generations of shepherds.

Because the cattle and sheep sent to Dahua on the grassland were basically exploited by all levels, and all fell into the hands of those famous families.

Ordinary people basically can't eat cattle and sheep, even if they have a strong family, they can't enjoy these delicacies without a certain status.

The cattle and sheep sent by the grasslands can be said to be highly sought after in Dahua's market.

So some businessmen put their minds on this. In addition to grassland tribes paying tribute to Dahua's cattle and sheep, they can also go to the grassland to buy cattle and sheep, or exchange them for things.

The exchanges between the two parties became more and more frequent.

In addition to the merchants, Jin Ge led the army to guard the grassland, and the soldiers also had to eat and drink, so Li An also continuously sent supplies to the grassland.

As more and more people go, the business path is formed naturally.

"In more than a year, this grassland will change a lot." Li An said with emotion.

Hearing this, Jin Ge quickly explained: "Returning to the prince, because of the intensive trading, a lot of Dahua's goods were also sent to the grassland, and now the herders on the grassland can also rely on selling cattle and sheep in exchange for money.
